"We all believe in you Dave, you have given all of us another chance to be free and live, and you get nothing from this," Tequila said with a smile.
"Hmm? Maybe you're right? I have been doing a good job, haven't I?" I asked with a smirk.
"You know, I was wondering when you were going to ask for a kiss!" Tequila said, stepping into my arms as her heavenly wings disappeared, and I wrapped my arms around her.
---------
Thank you for reading my third installment to the Harem Reborn series, but the story is far from over yet! Join Dave in the next book Growing Powers Reborn, a game world where superpowers are needed to survive in the concrete jungle! We will be seeing new girls, but they are only going to be in this book, and there will be one or two familiar faces from the past so stay tuned!
Chapter 238: Party At Dave's
NEW ROUND BEGINNING: Growing Powers
LOADING TERROR CITY
SUPERPOWER SYSTEM LOADING UP
ALL WEAPONS SYSTEMS ARE DEACTIVATED
AVATAR SELECTION SCREEN ACTIVATED
I could see myself standing with my arms and legs spread to the sides, and only wear underwear. There were two class types, Fighter and Caster Type, but I remembered that I was going to get an extra power for this round, so it would be best for me to look over all the different choices.
I opened the fighter list first and a list of fourteen selections popped down.
Gadget Trickster
Gravity Knight
Inhuman Reflexes
Phase Samurai
Sky Dancer
Super Strength
Wall Crawling
Wild Surge Battle Magic
Wild Surge Battle Ranger
Demon Hunter
Inner Struggle-Demon Blade
Inner Struggle-The Beast Within
Demon Controller: Demon Ink
Demon Controller: Steel Blood
That was a lot of choices, but there were a couple that stood out to me, but I was really going to have to get a look at the next list. There could be a good combo that I left in here for myself, so I should check out the next list. I kept the fighter tab and then opened the Caster tab, and twelve more powers were displayed.
Destruction Mage
Dragon Mage
Geomancer
Mage Cannon
Omni Adept
Cymatic Singer
Metallurgists-Deep Crystal
Metallurgists-Starmetal
Metallurgists-Stormphrax
Manipulation-Energy Mastery
Manipulation-Electron Mastery
Manipulation-Portal Mastery
Nope, this was a lot to pick from, time to cheat.
'Mom, Dansei! Are you here with me right now?'
No answer came.
Okay, so we will have to do this the old fashion way and just pick two. There were a lot of choices, but it was a matter of trying to pick what was the best fit for my style of play. I liked to be able to move and get places fast, but the Mage Cannon looked really good, but it was more of a mob gun, and I was worried that it wouldn't do well against a bigger foe.
There there was the Portal Mastery, which did not offer powerful attack, but unlimited mobility. Something about this one drew me in more than the others, and if my gut was saying yes, then I was going to run with it. Now, I just had to take a Fighter Class, maybe I would just scan through the names and see if anything stood out.
I was starting to get worried as I looked through the list, nothing was standing out, but then I stopped on Demon Ink, it was beside some other demon-based power, and the one below it was Steel Blood. Both were Demon Controller types, so I scanned through the blood first and there were some great offensive attacks, but every time you activated an ability, there was a chance that you could go mad.
After closing back up Steel Blood, I wasn't even sure if it was worth looking at. I had had my run with this type of thing before and it did not turn out well for me and the people around me, but I was drawn to it. Looking at it wasn't going to hurt me, and it wasn't like I had a time limit; I was about to make a choice that would affect me for a lifetime.
I commanded Demon Ink to open, and it was very similar to the other, but it was missing something. I looked over the entire sheet and then noticed something at the very end of the class, an asterisk. I reopened Blood Steel and quickly scrolled to the bottom; yup, there was nothing, and the Demon Ink had no Madness side effects.
My palms were starting to sweat and I was having trouble staying calm. Of course, I would have left something like this for myself! I went back to Portal Mastery and scrolled to the bottom; again, same thing, an asterisk at the end. Well, this was good and just what I had hoped for.
The Demon Ink was a demon that could coat my body and make me bigger. Plus there was also an attack that made me stronger if I killed an enemy, but it was only limited use per day. Still, portals and turning into a big black monster that likes to bite people's heads off for a superhero power might be outside of the standard hero description, but I wasn't much for rules and standards.
Both had short descriptions that I read through, and it was like stepping into my own thoughts, but I felt others got the right idea. They were just small blurbs about the powers at the basic level.
Demon Ink:
You feel your body changing on a cellular level, then you hear a voice. It offers you power beyond your wildest dreams but at the cost of your mind.
Portal Mastery:
You stick your head into a floating hole and look through the other side. From this point, the world feels upside down and it almost feels like you are being pulled out into thin air. Looking up which is down, you can see your body with its head sticking through an inky black hole floating above me. Strange.
Well, that was done and picked, now there was just the last part of the start-up. Tequila had explained after we kissed, about what my mission would be this time and how things would work. This time I wouldn't be hunting for more girls for my harem or maybe I would, hard to put a finger on exactly what was going on here.
PREPARE FOR ENTRANCE
My job this time was to be a hero, surprise, surprise. As one of my heroes, my job would be to rid the city of monsters as they popped up, but there would also be other events I would need to take place in.
3…
All the girls would be my neighbors and a giant apartment block, but none of them would have powers. That was the biggest kick, but there was a block on the building so bad guys could just come and murder my ladies.
2…
The final part that made this one special, and the largest pain in my ass to date. No System, No armory, and no Dragon Claws, AND, my Sub Skills were all gone. System, Armory, Dragon Claws, toss them, I get them back in the next game, but my Sub Skills…
1…
That means that I will have to win every girl over the hard way, not just make them see me and fall in love with me. Pain in the ass, but, my name was Hero Dave, and the pain was my game.
ENTRANCE COMPLETED
WELCOME TO TERROR CITY
Instantly, I was falling to a massive city that stretched in every direction for farther than I could see. Well, this was one way to get things started!
'Where are we!' TDM.
'What? You're still here?'
'Wait, what do you still mean?! Do you think you can just get rid of The Destroyer of Men!' -TDM.
'Would you like power beyond your wildest dreams?' -Rough hissing voice.
Oh, for crying out loud. There are two of these idiots in my head now?! I was up high, but the city was starting to get bigger, really fast, so, time to do something.
'Activate them using thought.' -Dansei.
'Remember, you can check your quick menu for all your current skills.' -Tequila.
Holy crap, what is this? Party at Dave's? I threw a hand out and commanded a portal to appear facing sideways and then one below me. Two black holes appeared, and I fell through the o
ne below me and then I was spat out sideways like a spear. The direction change played hell with my stomach, but I started to toss them so I would fly into them rather than falling into it, and that made it a little easier, but this was no simple task.
I finally dropped down to the roof of a massive building, and then everyone started to talk at once inside my head.
'Dave! Who is this raspy grease spot in your head with me? And I heard Other voices as well, are you going crazy? Or am I?' -TDM.
I wanted to laugh out loud at that. The Destroyer of Men sounds genuinely confused and worried. This was priceless, and the response I got from the other thing was just as good.
'Wait...why can't I try to force you to activate your powers? Also, why do you have an old wrinkled, and toothless dragon in your brain? I also heard other voices, with the way things are going, I think we might all be going a little coo-coo. By the way, since it looks like I'm coming along for the scenic ride this time, I'm Jim. Normally I need to make you go crazy, and then you have to learn my name, but I'm just going to be watching with popcorn now, so we might as well be friends, right?' -Jim.
{Author note: writing Jim, I have the guy who does the, "I'm a snake, a sneaky little snake," voice in my head!}
'Don't demons have...demonish names? Jim just doesn't give me that feeling of...demon.'
'Oh? Talking about names, are we? And what might your fancy name be? Hero Dave? Yeah, that's what I thought. I do have a demon name, It's She'Helerreka Morsdorfin, wanna call me that instead?' -Jim.
'Who would give their child such a horrible name?' -TDM.
'Oh, and what your real name be, Oh Great Destroyer of Men?' -Jim.
'I HAVE A GREAT AND AMAZING NAME THAT IS TO GREAT AND AMAZING FOR YOU TO EVER HERE YOU FOUL GREASE SPOT!' -TDM.
'Mmhmm, so your parents gave you a stupid name just like me. Come on big guy, you can tell us. Were your buddies! Right, Dave?' -Jim.
'Buster…' -Buster.
Chapter 239: Awkward Shapes
I stood at the edge of the building looking down at the city below. I had to be over thirty stories up and the building was huge. They looked like monstrous condos, but something about them felt right.
'So Mom, what is the direction from here? What am I supposed to do in this game, besides rescue an aggressive amount of women?'
'You're going to be the resident hero the girls will be calling if they need help while out in the city, but you need to give them an anchor to this world. You know what I mean, but you don't have to sleep with them all, because some of them just won't and you know that, Kiada took her group but there are lesbians here.' -Tequila.
'Yes Mom, I will treat our girls good, and I have already been thinking about that one, and I have the list of names in my head now. I can't believe how many times I used this system and didn't know what it was!'
I was talking about the Memory Download that normally would make a cutscene. I had designed this system for just that, but I had downloaded a bunch of my own memories to help me keep grounded in the game. It was my way to keep myself from getting too deep in the game.
This time I would get some flashbacks, but these were going to be real ones. I hoped she was here, but that was wishful thinking, she would be in the last world, waiting for me. I tried more than once to get info from the Memory Download about her but without a name and just a feeling, nothing relevant was turning up, so I focused on the ground.
'Thanks, Mom, don't worry I will protect the girls without fail! I don't lose, and this is my god damn game!'
I leapt from the edge, time for the next test!
[Demon Ink] Activated!
'Oh, look! I get to come out and play! Just kidding…' -Jim.
My skin turned the black of the darkest night, and I felt myself get stronger, but when I landed on my feet and all my bones in my feet and up to the knee shattered. I smashed into the ground and I should have been in immense pain, but I felt nothing. Great, I was probably going to die now and lose the game because of my big mouth.
Then I watched my midnight black legs pull themselves back into normal-ish-looking legs. Oh, that was cool, but one hundred story falls was out of the books at this level. I'll stick to the ten and under, or not be an idiot and use a portal.
When I was able to stand again, I looked at my reflection and was happy. For once I kind of looked cool, the mask was the only thing that had more than black. There were white markings that created intricate tribal patterns around my head, but then I released it.
I was actually tired from the rehearsal, so I would have to be careful with how much I had to use it. It wouldn't make me invincible, but I would help. Next was a range…
"Who might you be, stranger?" A familiar female voice called from behind me.
It really felt like forever, and I let the Demon Ink retreat from my body. I turned around and looked into Serina's beautiful green eyes. Two full games with only brief moments between games, and now I wanted to jump her bones!
I started to walk towards her with my arms open, but I stopped with a hand on my chest. I looked at her tilling my head; what was this? Was my Serina gonna hold out on me too?
"Put your Ink back on, and I'll show you why we have to wait," Lavender said, giving me a wicked smile.
As I let the ink pour out of my skin, I had a sinking feeling that whatever...OHH SHIT! I was sent flying away and I hit a statue, breaking...things, but not the statue. I was in no pain, but my body like I had been wrapped around a pole.
Serina pounded down into the ground beside me and looked down at me, grinning.
"That wasn't very nice. I am going to be exhausted after this, man, what are they feeding you?"
"Super Strength! And I'm going to be your live-in wife! My specialty is cooking!"
"Oh great, so what you're saying is you're my wife, but I can't sleep with you...because your vagina is going to chew my dick off...right?"
"Yeah! This is going to be fun, plus you have lots of other work to do. Here, I will carry you up to our room on the top floor. Well, I will jump up, it's fast than walking, or running!"
"Hey! Wait, I'm still trying to glue myself back together here, that statue whooped my ass. I don't know if you have noticed yet, but I am a little bent out of shape at the moment!"
That was no understatement, I was a V on the ground. The problem was the center where the points met, was on the inside of my back. I was slowly starting to heal, but Serina grabbed my arms and legs and then flattened me, breaking more things in the process I was sure. I had lost count, and next, I was flung onto her shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
As Serina leapt in the air, I remember the different things that we had done through the games, but we had never been restricted from having fun. I would just have to get tougher, so I could handle her guillotine lips...somehow, but man she could jump. We landed on a small balcony and there was nothing on it.
Serine was still shorter than me, so having her carry me around like this didn't feel like one of my best moments. Inside the place, there was a small open concept kitchen and living room with a tv and couch. There was a hall and that's where I was carried, and then flopped down onto the bed.
My body was almost healed now, and after a few more brief moments, it was done. I let the ink go and crawl back onto the bed. Well, I tried to, but Serina grabbed me by the pants and stopped me dead. I looked up, getting shocked and turned on at the same time.
"You didn't think I was actually serious, did you? I can control my hips, just let me do all the work, and nobody has to get hurt."
"Why did that sound like a threat? The better question is, why did it turn me on so much?!"
Serina slid off my pants and my shaft stood up, just looking for some attention, but I put my hands behind my head. This was just a precaution, you know, never put your hand near a ride when it is working. Plus, she said she wanted to do all the work, so who was I to stop her.
Serina slowly climbed on top of me, and then rubbed her moist
pussy lips on my hard cock, before she guided me into her. The feeling was velvet smooth as she slowly took me deep inside of her, letting out moans of pleasure. Then she started to slowly grind into me, pushing me deeper inside of her.
