Harem Reborn c1-297

by Author：Magic_

  Almost every game I had played had been about two things, fucking and fighting. There were no, go have a nice meal, then relax and watch a movie mission.

  Sure, there were times like thighs where we could make time in the lulls between battles, but that wasn't what I meant. Back when my mind had been washed, I may have been stupid, but I was carefree...I wasn't me.

  Now I was me, the same one that never left the office, and before that, it was my room. I didn't socialize, go out, or do anything really, except work on these worlds.

  As a kid, I had always watched cartoons and later anime that I fell in love with, and I dreamed of living in those worlds. This wasn't ever supposed to be about sex, but that bastard had changed everything.

  Even though everyone had their memories back, I still ended up like this, with sex-charged females, yay! Every man's dream, except for the man already living his dream, somewhat.

  "You just need to figure out how to end the game and get the files restored. After that, the first 12 levels will play the way you intended. Then you can keep the girls back if you want from the games, but I think you should consider taking one or two with you," Gripton suggested as we started to drop down to the ground.

  I could see Tequila up ahead, but I wasn't done talking with Gripton yet. I waved to her, but then pointed at Gripton, and she gave me a nod of approval, so I turned back to him.

  "I will not be taking any of the girls with me in the last three games. They will all be coming with me to the zodiac worlds. I need to finish this game, but I can't be chasing around looking for girls. The Harem System was not meant to be used in these games, or not in this one, but I am the only one with the Worldwalker system built-in. I will solo run the last three games. I should have been almost done that eleven, then I need to do Demons and Dragons, which will shift to the final game world without reloading."

  "I don't know if the girls will like that, and honestly, I don't," Gripton tried to say, but I cut him off.

  "No, Blank, you haven't been honest about anything. Something about you has changed, it's like you are affected by this all as well. You have been trying to help me get my memories back, but you were dragged into the world too. Is that what it is, Blank? Command protocol C dash thirty-six, Halt A.I. Blank," I called out fast, and Blank froze with a confused look on his face.

  I slapped my hand to my face. How many fucking times had I been over all the things that could have gone wrong and not thought to check the person that was closest to me?

  It was almost like I had been asking for all this bullshit. I should have done this the second I had my memories back!

  It didn't matter, I could do it now, and then this might change everything. I had been playing with half a deck of cards, but I wasn't the only one.

  When I got back there would be some major changes, but that could wait. I used the Memory Download to get the exact commands that I would need to check him over.

  I had the ability to check over files of programs that were within my vicinity, but they couldn't be moving parts in the world. I couldn't check the code of MTK or any of the Gialazsaur, only the girls and Blank.

  "Game Admin calling for Code Defrag, and all forms of virus scan. Isolated all rogue programs, revise current setting, and tune for peak performance. The admin password is, 'red is my favorite color'," I called out to the air.

  [Game Administrator Identification] Confirmed!

  [Admin Password Confirmed!

  [Defrag] Completed!

  [Virus Scan] Completed!

  [Virus Scan Results]

  46 Trojan programs isolated!

  5375 Unknown memory files removed!

  89403 Information blocks removed!

  [System Clean] Completed!

  [Optimization] Completed!

  "Alright, revoke command C dash thirty-six," I said and waited to see what would happen.

  Almost one hundred thousand blocks, but each one of them would have come by the thousands from each of the trojans. Reginold wouldn't have been able to send the signals out from here, but that meant he was still controlling the other three, and all the game master.

  "Dave, I am sorry. I think you know that I can't undo what I have done, but I can do better now," Blanks said from beside me, in the formal tone that I was used to of a middle-aged man, not some sniveling wizard.

  "This isn't your fault, I am the one that should have noticed when I got my memories back. There is no reason for you to be playing games with me."

  "Yes, but now I have control, and access to the proper commands. I need to do a couple of things to get everything in line, but I think we can complete this world by tomorrow. I will track MTK, and then you will challenge him. Once we are done, we will both go and reset the world, and then, yes I do think you should go alone. You have TDM, and he will not be such an asshole once you reset," Blank explained.

  "Good, finally we are on the same page. Honestly, I am just glad to know that I can actually trust what you say without a doubt."

  "I have a lot of apologizing to do to your brother. I can remember everything, and I put him through the wringer, lie after lie," Blank said with a sign, putting his palm to his forehead.

  "Ha! You think that will be bad, just wait until Centia gets ahold of you. Even if it isn't your fault, there is a reason we put her with that psycho of a Bhan, haha," I laughed, slapping his back.

  "I guess that this is karmic retribution, for everything you went through. Still, Centia can be a very nice woman, but your right. When she finds out that I have been ignoring her, I will be getting an ear full."

  "You know, not to kick you when you're down, but it is really nice to hear that someone else is going to have women's problems besides me,"

  Chapter 288: I Just Dare You.

  Tequila was still waiting for me, but I turned to Blank.

  "You know what I need, Admin password is, realize that real eyes tell real lies. The girls are all part of Reborn, so I need you to build a scan, and then code it to only me. You should be able to do that, right?" I asked.

  "Done, activation code is Real Eyes. Just make sure you intend to scan and it will activate without giving anything a chance to do damage," Blank reported.

  "Did something happen to you when I did the scan?" I asked.

  I hadn't really thought about there being some kind of self-destruct failsafe that might be put in place. I hoped I hadn't done anything wrong to him, but he seemed to be normal.

  "No, it's not like that, something like that is impossible. Just like the Longinus Spear, the parts could only be shattered, not destroyed. Even then, that wasn't the kind I meant. Let me be more clear, any damage that might be caused, but can't because of the command scan I gave you," Blank explained.

  "So, hypothetically speaking as always. What happens if there is damage and what with it be?" I asked, taking a deep breath and letting it out.

  "Stasis, but, if that could happen, hypothetically speaking, which I can't, you will see. Once we regain control of the Eye after we get the files, they can fix anything in a matter of minutes, that is why I built the Eye. Some people love the realism of the game with the crazy evil BBEG," Blank replied with a smile and I knew which two goofballs he was talking about.

  Hyde and Bhan, would never still and they would be constantly breaking things past the point of no repair. If we did a reset, the A.I. shattered would be reset, and accidents happen when games got intense.

  "Good plan, excellent in fact. Thank you for all your hard work, this has been hard one us all, but now we are starting to make real progress. From here on, we start fighting back, no more playing the fool and being used. Once I am in the zodiac world, I will skip across the other three entrance worlds. Leo, Pisces, and Capricorn, and try to catch them and do a group clean."

  "Good, but we have to check you. Do you give me permission?" Blank asked.

  "Yes, do it," I said without hesitation.

  "Real Eyes," Blank said, but nothing happened. "All done, you
were put into a temporary stasis for twelve seconds. Julia got most of the stuff, but there were a few things…"

  "TRINITY! Under my fucking nose the entire time! Oh, I am a sneaky bitch! Samantha, so damn long just to say that one name. Now, it's more important than ever to reach the others so I can find who has the key," I said clenching my fist.

  Blank nodded at me and disappeared. This was good, and now it was time, but I was still worried about the stasis.

  There was nothing for it, tomorrow we would be taking down MTK. Hopefully, and alt ending the game, so we could keep the world open.

  The A.I. could mature while I finished the last games, and the girls could watch over them if they wanted to come. I need to figure some stuff out about myself during these next games.

  Once I was in the Zodiac world I would be subjected to the realism that I built into it. I had never played in them yet, But it wasn't my Trinity, this was the real Sam that I had.

  One of the other three was watching over the key, but I suspected that would be the one with the defecting gods. The three A.I. copies were the last thing I could do when Reginold infected me.

  No point overthinking it right now, I had work to do. I walked towards Tequila, it was time to use it.

  "What was that light?" She asked as I got close.

  "Just something your Real Eyes can see," I said with my intent set to scan Tequila.

  She froze, and at the same time, she was instantly covered in blue light, success. Good, the program worked instantly, and now I just had to wait.

  I got ice in my veins suddenly and instantly broke into a cold sweat. Tequila unfroze and rushed over to me.

  "What's wrong, Dave?" She asked me with a worried look.

  "How many girls die on the day of Second Life launch?" I asked, already knowing the answer, but I needed to hear it from someone else to make sure.

  "One Hundred, why does… oh-no, what does that mean then? But I know who is real now, and who are the double agents. None of the girls are wrong with us," Tequila said.

  "We still can't account for all the women on Growing Powers. Some of the double agents could be with the others, we can see the number of players entering each Zodiac world in the last games. This is how he has been controlling the game, these double agents have been hidden," I said, putting my hand to my head.

  "We will work together and find out which are the fakes. Kiada doesn't have any with her, those eight are hers. Your brother has one with him… Dave, look at Bhan," Tequila said, but this was the best possible.

  "Perfect, the Beholder will cut them out, but he won't be able to use it on Centia," I said with a smile.

  "You damn right he won't! I still can't believe you think it was her. It has to be Dansei, I just searched from your last moment before getting transferred to the Hall of Gods. Dansei is from the game world. I am sending you the file," Blank said appearing, but I could actually feel him coming now.

  It was true, he wasn't anywhere, and I didn't know how to explain that.

  "That is highly suspicious, but it doesn't matter. Every player is getting a sweep, including The Major. Though, with MTK, I suspect he had just become damn good at the task we gave him. Plus, he is probably pissed at the horrible joke we played on him for cheating at risk and still losing!" I said thinking about it before we transferred him over.

  "That was his own damn fault! You can't cheat against me and not expect me to figure it out. Plus, he agreed for the tiny body we put him in and the Training System after cheating," Blank said with a smile.

  "Yes, but he has been waiting to get his ass kicked this entire time because you stuck him here doing this. That was just an A.I. copy of him on world eight generated by the Random World effect. The real him has been here for how long?"

  "You really need a good chop don't you?" Tequila said, glaring at Blank.

  "End of the day, he wasn't supposed to be here for this long. We all know this, I was trying to make something fun, but blah blah happened."

  "No point in crying over spilled milk, have you found him yet?" I asked Blank.

  "Yes' but you need more Gi first. He knows you are coming and is waiting now. Well, we talked, and I let him know everything, but we know the Training System won't let him hold back. So, there is that, and he is only slightly crazy, but we can fix him as good as new once we get back to the Eye."

  "That's fine, how many hours do I have?"

  "Twenty-one. I will leave you be, you two need to talk," Blank said with a smile before disappearing, bastard.

  "Talk about what?" Tequila asked me in a flat tone.

  There was no getting around this and she would need to accept my choice. I was a nerd that built games, but I was also the guy that saved all the girls after they were killed.

  Yet, to these were different people, I was the nerd, and my avatar was my hero persona. I built an avatar in the game to hide who I actually was.

  I was just a scared guy that couldn't bear to lose his best friend. The problem turned out to be that I couldn't just save one.

  I remember just before coming into the game. I had hoped that I would finally get to play through the game with everyone, and gain some of the confidence that I had been faking.

  I hoped that because I created it, I would gain the confidence I needed through the levels I created.

  That's not what happened, and now I was here, and I was still nothing like my brother. I just wanted to stop being so serious about everything and getting stress out of the things that I can't control.

  "I want to complete the last game worlds alone. I need time to myself, and I can't be chasing the girls and making good time," I finally said after my long pause.

  "Good, I think we deserve a vacation. I dare you to open that mouth of yours, I just dare you. Do you want to find yourself? Break out of your shell? We will be doing it together, like always. Don't even open your mouth," Tequila said coming in to kiss me.

  That went over just about as well as I thought it would. I would get it now if I opened my mouth to speak. Why did this feel counterproductive?

  Chapter 289: Anger Has Bounds

  "So what are we going to do now?" Tequila asked.

  "Go see the other two, get them cleaned up and then enjoy the rest of the evening. Tomorrow will be our last day here, and I plan on beating him and getting this all down so we can get going," I said after leaning down to kiss my little boss.

  I should be happy to have her along with me. If there was anyone in the world that could help me feel more comfortable it was going to be her.

  I lifted us both into the air, and I honed in on the other girl's signals. I was momentary surprised when I got icons for them on the mini-map, but that the way it was supposed to be.

  It didn't take me very long to track Grace down with the map. She was over planting some flowers in one of the guardians near the palace. Mikota was inside, and I would get to her after Grace.

  "What a surprise it is to see you here, that brings you to me? Another round of tag team?" Grace asked, giving me the suggestive eyebrows.

  "No, I am here to see your Real Eyes," I said, and Grace was encased in blue, and frozen in stasis.

  "Is she okay?" Tequila asked me.

  "Yes, you went through the same thing. She will be done in a couple of seconds."

  Tequila rested her head on her shoulder, but it only took a moment longer to finish. Suddenly the light vanished and everything was back to normal.

  "It's like there was a fog in my brain, and now it's gone. Can I go back now? I am done playing in the dirt; can you believe I was just doing that contentedly?" Grace asked us.

  Tequila and I both laughed.

  "Soon, let's go get Mikota and get her cleaned up. Then we go get the others and have one last campfire before we leave, okay?" I asked the girls.

  After tracking down Mikota, running the test over here, we all started to round up people to come down to the beach, but everyone was busy. They were all getting busy, but that seem
ed weird, so I pulled up the charts in my HUD

  "Oh man, what the hell are they doing?" I asked as I watched the number for total transported Gialazsaurs visibly go up.

  "The game will be trying to speed itself up, so I don't think that we will have time for a campfire," Grace said with a wicked smile. "Go put us down and go kill the bad guy or whatever he is."

  "Well, out of all the things that I have lost in this game, I am going to miss that wild crazy part of you that enjoyed playing the games," I said with a smile.

  "You know that it isn't that I don't like the games, I just prefer something that is a bit less fake and more flowing. There is also the part where I would love to wear more clothes," Grace said looking me up and down, but the hunger wasn't there anymore.
