I heard the muffled scream from above and that was my cue.
"What is the meaning of…"
I drove through him first, no finesse, just pure energy power fists for these things. I was really getting tired of weak human enemies; it took me no time at all to kill the council members. There also was no sound coming from above, which was also good.
I signal for Salburst to drop the patch on the princess's room, but dove immediately to catch her. I caught her and turned my body to make sure she wasn't hurt. I was in the dry area now and Salburst melted off me like he knew that I needed to be free. I stood holding the silent, Fiori and then leapt back up to her room.
I was surprised to find that the room had no decorations and only a very basic bed. I put Fiori down and reached behind my back and got down on one knee. Salburst dropped the coral into my hand and I offered it to Fiori, but she was looking away from me with tears in her eyes. Well, this was strange, I expected her to be a little bit mean, in fact, I wanted a reason to put her over my knee, but now I can see there was a mountain of stress on her.
"Hey, it's over now. I'm here to get you and take you away from this place forever, okay?"
"You are? But you can see I'm just a fake, this is all just a joke!"
"Don't cry, serious, I am here to take you with me and start a new game. You joined this game to play with me to be able to get away from the bad times you must have had in other games. I found you and, if you accept, you will become part of my permanent team and you can be my little princess, okay? Let's go see the girls."
"Girls?"
"Yeah, there is a team, or if you want to wait, we could spend some time together before we go back, no rush."
"What could we do, all I have is this big bed?"
Fiori was fully grown, but she was very short and she was turned and looking at the bed, so I smiled, and Salburst left me completely. I was completely naked, but she still had a purple nightgown on that barely left anything to my imagination. When she turned back to me, my swollen member was at her eye level as I stood over her.
"Do I put it in my mouth? I've never done this before…"
I picked her up instead and pushed her back on the bed. Nothing fancy for this, just nice and slow, she had to be a virgin. It would have almost been a treat if she hadn't cried the entire way through it. Out of all the times I have done it, this had to be the most awkward, and it was like a car crash you couldn't look away from, except it was her not letting me stop until I finished.
By the time we finished it was mentally draining, that was rough. I would have soon gone and slaughtered the entire army rather than have to do that again. Wow, that was morbid for even me, she wasn't that bad, but a girl that was crying, but not in pleasure really took the fun out of the snu snu. Oh, well, better luck next time? What was this fishing? Damn near with the amount of releasing I was doing, hehe.
I was about to leave when a shrimp stopped me while I was carrying the now sleeping Fiori. Okay, a shrimp faced woman looking thing, fuck I really don't know, that was a face that a team of mothers couldn't love.
"Put my sister down!"
Ahh, that makes sense, well good for Tanaak...I guess…
"I leave the Wraiths to you and Tanaak who is working on relations with the Xenophin. I will be taking care of your sister from now on."
"Thank you, finally someone is talking to that little brat, but I will miss her. Take good care of her and Tanaak will help fix relations."
"Good, because I'll be coming back to visit in the future!"
Chapter 175: Harem System Group Max Achieved
Salburst created a bubble around me and floated us back to the leviathan and into a section under the belly of the metal snake. I floated up into an open space without water and once inside the door below us closed; Salburst released his bubble and I walked to the now opening door, stepping through and heading up a small flight of stairs, then through the now opening door.
Once on the next level I turned and walked back to the bedroom where I was supposed to be doing dirty things Squirt, but here we were. No point in getting bent out of shape about this, it wasn't like it was her fault, lucky the game was almost over so there was no need for another one of those interactions. After I laid Fiori down, I headed back out and up to the front of our massive mecha sea snake, where the girls were waiting for me.
"So, one more to go. Any luck with finding Tsu?"
I completely ignored the elephant in the room and walked over to the captain's chair and sat down. I was getting questionable stares from Iona, Mikota, Aquina, and Tama, but that was fine, I was in no mood to talk about what happened back there. It was one of those moments where you know mistakes have been made, but her being a person registered to become a Harem Member turned the whole thing into a runaway train scenario.
"Yes, She is her way now, and Tsu knows you're here and is none too happy with you."
Oh Great, I never was able to make Star Strider make a promise to her! Damn System booting me out! Great, now she was the one alone, and I looked like a dick now, even though it was the real player here, Valthan Star Strider. Well, just have to roll with the punches; I should be able to calm her down, not like Oallicia could hurt me, but that wouldn't stop Tsu.
Though, would Tsu be that mad? I picked up the silent smiler from her, but maybe I missed something or you know a couple hundred years alone might have changed her. Who knew?
"How far out is she?"
'I have been waiting here for you, Dave.' -Tsu.
Tsu's voice came over the speaker of our snake sub, scaring the crap out of me. I did one of those, oh my lord, hand to the chest actions you see older women do. That had to of been on purpose, she must have been monitoring our voices and just waited for the perfect moment.
"Okay, Tsu, why don't you and Oallicia come aboard? I would prefer to talk to your pretty face."
'Fine, but this isn't over yet. You and I need to talk!' -Tsu.
A collective of 'ooo' noises came from the girls and I sighed and turned around to go meet my Fate. The funny thing about plans is that they always work the best on paper, after that they are only as good as Murphy says they are.
I started to walk to the door, but it slid open to a beautiful, but very angry looking Tsu. Everything spun way out of my control from that point, as messages started to pop up in my HUD.

//9/10 current Harem Members will be transported to [Hall of Gods] to await your summons.
Suddenly I was in the hall of Wishes again, and Mom stood before me. Wow, that was so fast, I had barely finished reading the screens, but I guess this was the best possible option for the girls and my guess was right about the points for Aquina were not a waste if nine out of ten girls would be sent, wait...Maxine is on that list…
I whirled around and they were all there standing with huge smiles...I ran when my eyes connected with Maxine. The girls all moved aside and I embraced Maxine tightly, my eyes beginning to burn.
"Don't squeeze so hard!"
"Sorry, I just…"
"Don't, it was just poor information, so I don't want to hear anything about it, okay? We are here now and that's all that matters right now."
"Fine, but I still missed your beautiful face."
"You know he shipped us all off and we were forced to clean the shuttle for a week on our flight back to the Galantia!"
"And it was nice and clean, right?!"
No girls spoke after that and I had to hold back a laugh at Mikota's attempt to throw me under the bus, but she was dragged in with me. I turned back to mom who was smiling at me.
"Okay, Mom, what's the deal? Do I get somet
hing special?"
"No, you did not complete the game and it has been suspended, but you have reached the requirements of your Harem System, and it has forced you out of the game, but advances all current player to the Hall of Gods, except for Aquina, who is set for the next game because of the mini-game."
"Well, I guess that's not bad, but what about Carly and Kadita?"
"This game is put on pause and will stay in the rotation. Because they added the next game, there will be two more games until the rotation resets, and you will go back to your starting world."
"So there are a limited number of games?"
"Only for this Genre, the rest have teams constantly building new ones, but only one person is working on your worlds, but expect great things for the next game. It is time to say goodbye."
I turned back to my girls and I was flooded by them. I was surrounded and it was a great feeling, even Tsu and Fiori looked happy, but this was the ultimate reward of this game, the Hall of Gods. choose your Fate, but for now, they would have to wait on standby. We needed so many more members to be able to take all twelve worlds at once.
Chapter 176: A Choice
After saying my goodbyes to the nine girls, they all disappeared in rays of light. I had mixed feelings about seeing them all go and I had made a promise to Iona that I would bring her back into the game as soon as I could. I was left with Aquina and Mom, but now Aquina was starting to disappear.
"Wait! I want to give you these last two points!"
"No! You need them and the other girls will too; remember Sandra and the other ones will be there. You will have to be a pervert with one of them now unless you find me first…"
She left the last part finished as she disappeared from my sight. Aquina's last words left on a trailing off note that made me hope I did find her first. Damn! I should have...shoulda, coulda, woulda, done. Well, time to dive into the next new world!
I looked up to find Mom gone now and the Hall of Wishes was being decoded back into information. Suddenly the room stopped, and nothing around me moved. Streams of codes were frozen, rising into the sky like glowing green strings. When I looked back down I saw just who I had expected and the only person that could do this, besides the other Masters.
"So, how are you liking the new System?"
We were suddenly back sitting in that cafe, and I reflexively looked up, but immediately looked back at Mr. Datum.
"Interesting, that's for sure. Have you been seeing some of the things I have been having to do?"
This was a test to see how much they knew and or monitored. I wasn't really sure of what they could do against me now with this System, so this would be a test.
"Sorry, I only watch for bugs like the Simon imposter hacker. The games are only monitored by MainFrame, so don't worry about us watching whatever it is you do with all those women. What I can't figure out is why there is such a line up to become your plaything?"
"I guess I'm just charming, and I don't like to lose."
Wow, either Mr. Datum was a paid actor or he had no idea what was going on but was that so hard to conceive? Simon had said that all communications had been cut off, maybe the founders did that to Mr.Datum?
"Interesting, well I am just here to do a diagnostic on the System since everything was so rushed before. It won't take long, I just need to make sure there are no extra things hidden."
Extra things? Like the Builder System and WorldWalking? Well, begin test number two with this System!
I waited as Mr. Datum...well, he didn't actually do anything, but he had a far-off look so I assumed he was looking over the System somehow. This lasted for about thirty more seconds, and then he started to move again. Mr. Datum looked at me with a smile.
"Everything looks good, a bit overpowered, but it isn't worth trying to remove. I don't even think we could if we wanted to; this isn't an overlay like the other Systems you get each game. This System is you now like you are one and the same, and short of pulling your coding apart there would be no way to get rid of it."
That's what I wanted to hear; short of outright killing me and ripping me apart, there was no way to remove the system from me. Then there is the part where they said the system was clean, meaning the System hid things. What did that even mean? Was the System alive or at least sentient?
"I will let you get to your next game, but first, I will give you a bit of a primer for the game you're about to play since it is based on the mini-game you just played. This time progression will be slower and you will gain skills and you will be able to choose different paths. Since you did not technically win your last game, all I can offer you is a choice."
"A choice? For what?"
"The creature you will reincarnate into."
"Well, let's see what you have got chief! Thanks for letting me pick!"
I wanted to be as nice as possible, no point in tripping any alarms about how I was actually feeling. Mr. Datum turned and put up a hand, causing three underwater images to appear. In each of the windows, a different creature was shown with only a name of the image, floating in the air below each picture.
The first was a Spiny Dogfish, which turned out to be kind of cute looking but it was like a miniature shark and not really scary. Depending on what path I took through evolution, I could possibly change that. There was also the question if there would be land and sharks aren't really known for walking of any sort, so this was a definite maybe.
The next one was a Bobtail Squid, another cute little purple blob with googly eyes that looked like that had been pulled from a craft box and glued on. The squid wasn't that cool, but it kind of looked more like an octopus, and that would be a worthy sea creature! I was pretty sure they had a bunch of brains, could open jars, and blend in! This one was another definite maybe!
Last on the list was the smallest of all, and not really what you would call cute, but it looked cool. The Pistol Shrimp was a small lobster looking thing with an asymmetrical claw that was far larger than its other. The cool part was that its body was transparent and almost glowed, but I didn't really know too much else about it, but the pistol part sounded cool.
"So, what do you think of the choices?"
"Can I ask a question?"
"Of course, what is it?"
"Will I be going on land?"
"Oh no, not this one. The game world will be very similar to the world you were just in, completely covered in water. So don't let that limit your choices. Well, Dave, what will it be?
Hey readers! This is the author Magic_ here and I just want to say thank you for reading the second book of the Harem Reborn series. I hope you continue reading to hear more about Dave and his Quest to gain more Harem Members to be able to assault the Founders on their Homeworlds and take Reborn back before they are all turned into NPC's!
Also, check out Dave Harem Reborn List for all the current harem members and some of the future ones! There is also some art I found as a visualization of what I think the characters look like and in the future, I hope to get the art drawn for them!
Chapter 177: I So Small!
NEW ROUND BEGINNING: Lovecrafting
LOADING BIG BLUE SEA
NEW EVOLUTION SYSTEM LOADING UP
PREPARE FOR ENTRANCE
Back in limbo waiting for the world to finish loading, Lovecrafting. What the hell was that? Oh and wow, way to get creative with the world name. Mom, please tell me you're back with me now?
3…
'Yes, I am here.' -Tequila.
2…
Good, I got worried there. Well, time to give it my best and Build up my team. Aquina, Sandra, Kierra, and Delilah were all waiting for me somewhere in the game. Pft, somewhere in the Big Blue Sea.
1…
Instantly, I was in the water on the bottom of an ocean, feeling very weird like I had a massive head and a lot of tiny little arms. Where was I? In some boulder ocean bed? There were pretty big rocks, but I looked down as best I could and that's when I remembered. Bobtail Squi
d...right...well, I was pretty cool looking, but that also meant that these rocks were not large, I was just a tiny me. I wonder what kind of stats I have?
Abrupt, a menu appeared in my HUD, but...it had scared the ink out of me and I was now trying to wave my tentacles to move, which also seemed to have a mind of their own, always doing some kind of moving. My arms reminded me of a cat's tail and I did the squid equivalent to laughing, which I think consisted of some rapid eye blinks.
