⟪Congratulations, Master. You have added the 6th woman to your harem: Alina De-morgan.⟫
⟪You have received a new skill that belongs to Alina. Skill Name: Doom Shard.⟫
Alina was added to the harem, and from the look on her face, she was probably shocked and scared at the moment.
Though Kent told Vexthra to take it easy on her, he knew she would just be herself now that she was practically the most cheerful person in the universe.
Vexthra is lonely there in the god realm, so these are some of the rare moments she gets to have some fun. So, instead of interfering, Kent turned rather toward the messages that appeared.
He had added yet another woman to the harem, and his strength rose by some percentages. But that was to be expected. The skill that appeared, however, was new.
When he added Vexthra, he received the [Aura of Hatred and Resentment]. It was a skill Vexthra had, which was given to him by the tower.
Then he added Unity and received the [Teleport] skill, which he had now upgraded to [Blink]. This was when it didn’t make sense. Unity doesn’t have that skill, yet it was given to him through her.
When he added Lilian, he received the [Elemental Manipulation] skill, which has also now become [Elemental Lord]. This also doesn’t make sense, considering Lilian doesn’t have that either.
Elsa then gave him [Soul Sentinel], which was a skill she possessed.
That made sense in a way.
But then, he received [Rule Breaker] from his master, and everything returned to before. The Rule Breaker doesn’t belong to her. She doesn’t have even a skill that resembles that.
So, where are the skills coming from if that is the case?
Kent frowned, his mind racing as he tried to decipher the pattern.
Why did some skills align with the women he added, while others seemed completely unrelated? It was as if the tower—or whatever force governed this system—had its own logic, one that Kent couldn’t yet decipher.
‘Though I don’t know what is at work here, I can guess two possibilities, the first being the true names. Vexthra has a true name, though not from me. She has one. Elsa was the same. She also has a true name.
‘These two ladies gave me a skill they possess. Of course, I can take from the others, considering I can acquire two sets of skills from them.
But that is beside the point. There is something strange there.
That brings me to the second assumption. This has something to do with the universe. It may be doing this as a way of rewarding me for doing nothing aside from sleeping with women.
If that is the case, then this is cool, I guess. But another question arises: why is the universe giving me all these things? I doubt it has something to do with my impeccable bed game.’
Kent smiled and then looked at the description of the skill.

⟪Description: Conjure a black diamond shard by either using your hand, stomping on the ground or using your mind to pierce the body of any monsters provided their defence is not 3X yours⟫
___________________
The description was simple, but the skill’s grade and rank said otherwise. Kent knew that, so he conjured the black diamond, and it appeared. His eyes widened.
‘Very strong and sharp,’ he said inwardly as he examined the black diamond.
It was like a black metal made from a diamond. The shard was thick, and he could tell anything with lower defence was doomed from how pointy it was.
‘I wonder if I can make it longer,’ Kent said, then started focusing his energy on the shard. As expected, the shard began to elongate, making Kent smile cheerfully.
‘With this, I can kill much faster and more efficiently,’ Kent thought.
He was indeed very happy. He now had [Blink] to move quickly, [Rule Breaker] to cancel any deadly attack or debuff, [Elemental Lord], and now [Doom Shard] to attack.
Aside from that, the [Aura of Hatred and Resentment] was also there to help him fight the realm around him. He could endure their presence and not cower in front of them.
But then, there were his sword skills and techniques as well. This meant the more ladies he added, the more skills he would receive.
‘I wonder how monstrous any of these skills will be after upgrading them,’ Kent thought, clenching his fist and wishing for a mission to challenge him to use his strength.
‘I fought Saintess Neomi in a controlled environment. I want one that requires me to face death and smile,’ he mused. His determination was already set.
If only he knew the quest pool was already creating a unique quest he could not refuse. In the coming days, Kent would learn why the universe gave him all these gifts through his women.
Twenty minutes after adding Alina to the Harem, Vexthra’s angry tone echoed in Kent’s mind.
“My love, tell me you have captured that brat who hurt my sister,” Vexthra demanded.
She was leaking killing intent from where she stood in the god realm. Her gaze was filled with extreme hatred, the kind that emanated from the soul.
Initially, she wanted to tease Alina and even subtly threaten her not to get any funny ideas using her butt to seduce Kent. So, she asked about her background, and Alina, who was scared for a moment, sang like a bird.
Now, Vexthra, who knew what happened to her 20 years ago, was very angry. If Kent’s answer didn’t suit her, she would probably do something crazy.
[Don’t worry. I have already taken care of that brat. I will take Alina to her the moment you are done with her. Now, get to know her, and please be gentle with her. She is fragile.]
“I will, and thank you for putting her first. I will make sure she doesn’t feel left out. For now, I will need a couple of hours with her, if you don’t mind,” Vexthra asked, calming down a bit.
[Take all the time you need.]
Kent was actually very angry now that he thought about it. So, he immediately instructed Gaia to take the Battle Doll to the Tower prison.
He would be taking Alina there in 8 hours’ time.
That’s 8 days for Turyn with the Battle Doll.
