“Aaaaahhhhh!” John fell into his position in the bend of the Couch with a satisfied sight. Nathalia and Nightingale were imdiately upon him, the two goddesses pressing up against him as if he hadn’t been with them via the Ambassador Double this entire ti. “I do have room for one more,” he invited Eliana
“Nice,” the pretty little psycho purred and strutted on over. She descended slowly on his lap, guiding his cock inside of her. The snug warmth of her pussy enveloped his rigid manhood. With a pleasant shiver running down her spine, the short woman tilted back, resting against his chest. She wasn’t going to bounce, just keeping his dick snugly sheathed in wetness and velvet. “That good for you, Master?”
“Perfect,” he said, all while kneading Nathalia’s enormous and Nightingale’s petite chest. “Quick eting, everyone. I have 1 Class Level to pick for Monster Girl Creator, then I have an announcent regarding so special cargo Maximillian gave , and finally we have to talk about our next mission split.”
The gathered harem, everyone except for Lydia and Lulu, quietly nodded. They were taking only an 8 hour break at ho, enough to sleep in their own bed, before hopping right back onto the plane. Staying at ho for longer would just worsen the inevitable jet lag.
“Without delay, then,” the Gar pulled up the Class Level. Thankfully, he had had the ti between advisor sessions to clear out the Challenges.
Those were three solid options.
Alteration was the first to be discarded. Not for any reason of weakness, it had to be said. On a purely scaling basis, it was by far the best one. One extra Perk every year ad infinitum? Well, John was pretty sure Gaia would throw so soft cap on it at so point, but even with that assumption it was a bunch of extra Perks over ti.
John dismissed it as the option for the simple reason that he preferred his builds set. From roguelikes to MMOs, getting into a comfort zone and building upon it was what he liked to do. Reset and chaos builds were often effective, he just did not want to use them.
Here, the other two options were perfectly suitable.
Chirafication offered 2 extra Perks per Artificial or Natural Spirit, including an extra Monster Girl Ascension Perk, so that was mathematically neat. Here, too, John’s preferences made him disqualify it. This ti, not because he had a dislike, but because the main one was so much more alluring.
Dedication.
A Monster Girl Evolution Surge Perk.
That was a very long term and long terms usually ca with really big power spikes. Plus, it being the 7th Perk in a Master Class certainly painted the picture of a big payoff. “Anyone against Dedication?” he asked the crowd of his maids and tra. When none denied his desire, he pressed the button.
Which, of course, ant that the selection of one Perk had suddenly expanded into nine more Perks.
‘Please let there be so anti-teleportation and assassination asures in here,’ John thought. ‘Well, I guess every power increase is an anti-assassination asure…’
John’s eyes scanned over the options, only just beginning to read them when he realized that there was more to this than the usual three boxes.
“Holy mother of bullshit,” he gasped, faced with a whole lot of text wall. He gulped when he finished the description of the Monster Form. 20% All Stats was an absurd power spike on its own, so what else could be wrapped up in this?
A lot. A whole lot. John was practically slack-jawed at the options given, the Cryo Hydra in particular. In the upper row, it felt like the weakest, but in the lower row it gave his tank conditional immortality. The ‘may’ clause allowed her to teleport out there with Ergency Stasis if that was preferable, though it was (for once) safe to assu that that could also be triggered if she got caught in her hydra form.
John saw no competition for that Perk. Massively increasing her Glacial Aura had its own set of issues in any fight that involved more than their harem, and as aweso as dragons were, he was concerned about the unwieldy size. The third option didn’t even co into mind. If he had wanted to build Aclysia for murder-scaling, he would have thrown his morals overboard two years ago.
The sentint was echoed by all those that saw the window. ‘This sets the expectations really high,’ John thought. “Cryo Hydra it is?” he asked.
“Affirmative, Master,” Aclysia responded with a giddy smile. He pressed the button and… nothing visually changed. That only made the changes under the hood that little bit more terrifying… terrifyingly aweso, that was.
“Of course, the symtry lover in pulls towards Voltaic Hydra,” John remarked, “but I don’t think it has the best utility for you.”
“Agreent: though the extra strikes are interesting, unlike Aclysia my combat plan is to avoid damage. Addition: I also do not have an armant that enables damage to self.”
John nodded. Aclysia’s sword, Marice, had an enchantnt that sapped her life away at an accelerating pace, sothing that she would be able to make even better use of in the future. Beatrice, well, she did not have a weapon currently but such an Attribute would not have harmonized well with her overall build.
Storm Wyrm and Magnetic World-
“Can we talk about that ti stop thing clearly being a JoJo reference?” Jane asked.
“”No,”” John and Beatrice denied simultaneously.
Storm Wyrm and Magnetic World were both much better for Beatrice’s fighting style and of the two Magnetic World felt way better. Storm Wyrm was good, but they already had a Sylph, they did not need an extra dragon Sylph. Magnetic World pushed her a bit in the Lydia/Fianna direction, sure, but it also ca with the most absurd upside in the Monster Form that there was.
In every form of combat, fictional, simulated, real or whatever else, soone who could deal damage without allowing interaction had a massive upside. Being able to move tal around inside a ti stop was absolute bullshit. There were limitations to it, yes, naly that Beatrice’s magnetism was unlikely to have the stopping power required to deal significant damage to others on her level. Still, it allowed her to move things, including herself, while no one else could.
So that was pretty bullshit.
“I request the Magnetic World,” Beatrice stated. She had always been one to enjoy a fight where she held all the cards.
John saw no reason to refuse her and pressed the button.
‘That’s a lot more compact,’ John thought as he read the options. Less words, but no less horrendously overpowered stuff. ‘DOUBLING all healing? Binding contracts? A 25% damage increase and reduction for the entire Household?’ he listed in his head. The Monster Form choices were comparatively mild.
Except for Nightbloom’s choice. That Monster Form was beyond vile. Claire could just use Crimson Sun, which needed her to kill her entire Household to bring about an artificial night, then imdiately trigger Nightbloom to get them all back. Actually, Sanguine Colossus was also incredibly strong, it just didn’t have that imdiate combo factor.
“I want the Blood Devil,” Claire interrupted his pondering.
“You sure?” John asked.
“I said before that I do not see myself as a combatant. I said before that I am the instrunt of your will. I said before that I am a maid and a ruler of shadows.” Claire charismatically smiled, tilted forwards. “We have plenty of fighters, even with pregnancy in mind. You have your Favours. I will have a more violent assurance.”
All of that was logically sound and so John pressed the button.
“…Okay… make a Breeding Box,” Delicia said before John could even comnt on any of that.
“Sug’r, I’m gonna need to read whatev’r ya got there,” Hailey requested. “’Cause that ca out like a F5 for the rest of us.”
John sent the window on its way along the harettes while he considered Delicia’s preference. Obviously, it was ultimately her choice, even if he was the one pressing the button.
The Thing was right out, because it was a villain option and he did not want to turn that way. Essence Amalgam, however, was entirely viable. Delicia had stated before that she wanted so combat capability and this would help to that end.
‘But it would be overcorrection,’ he countered his own argunt. ‘There’s a difference between having sothing so she isn’t helpless and going hard into a combat option when it’s exclusive with sothing that is perfect for our future.’
Delicia turning into their primary nursemaid just made sense. She was a well that never ran dry anyway and she could adjust the contents of her breast milk to give the babies quite literally everything they needed. There was a part of that he wasn’t entirely comfortable with though. “Leaning into the designer babies is a bit… eh?”
“Why?” Delicia asked. “I’ll design the life into those babies!” Evidently, she did not share his discomfort.
“You better not get knocked up in the next 6 months though,” Eliana hissed protectively.
“I’m in Wave 5, that’s sooooo far away,” Delicia said. “No worries on that one. Have you forgotten how that whole plan works anyway?”
“I’m just saying!” Eliana put a hand on her stomach. It was a little concerning that she was this dedicated to being not just the first bred but also the first giving birth… but it was the type of concerning where John found it too hot to care.
“If you are absolutely certain…?” John asked just to be clear, then pressed the button when she nodded. That option was… well, it was objectively still bullshit, assuring that all of his children were 20% above their peers from toddlerdom. It just wasn’t as flashy as turning into an ice hydra.
That was so flashy stuff with boredom sandwiched in the middle. Effective boredom, but boredom all the sa.
Dominion of Retribution encouraged a more tank-focused playstyle, which Ehtra could have easily pivoted to, but John was tempted by Grey Throne for an obvious reason: Astrotium enrichnt was sweet. He had passed on it before in favour of tra’s mana-rending claws and here it was once more!
It helped that the Monster Form of that one was quite scary. Burst damage followed by persistent AoE CC was nasty.
“I do not favour letting sinful creatures strike nor the dullness of the middle,” Ehtra stated. “Grey Throne.”
“Done,” John said, pressing the button.
That was about what he had expected, if he was being honest. With no comnt to be made, he just tapped the singular option.
This one did co with a visual change. Unexpectedly, black tiger stripes appeared all over Fianna, including even her robotic limbs. They were laid out symtrically, dark on her pale skin, notably skipping her breasts while covering everything else.
“I did wonder if I would ever get those,” Fianna stated. “I am unsure if I will make use of summoning tigers next to my enemies. The ability to turn into a lee monster, pun intended, is good assurance.”
This was… very interesting. The Hellhound Awaken Attribute was sothing she had gotten after absorbing Fenrir’s material. It had sat there since, waiting for her to break her rage ter. “Bit frustrating that this is blocking two pieces of progress now,” John confessed his feelings.
tra took it a lot lighter. “It’ll be fucking aweso when it happens.”
He hoped she was right.
After two oddities, they were back to the regularly scheduled bullshit. Maker of Laws and Favours echoed Claire, which served the chancellor of Fusion just fine. Fractured Light on Forest Floor, on the other hand, empowered her little helpers. Despite that, Momo had made up her mind.
“I want the Silence,” she said.
“How co?” John asked, curious not judging.
“Because I am a combatant and I am also one that people keep gunning for because I am the poor little backliner!” The sassy maid wagged her finger in his direction. “Plus, having the capability to just shut up anyone that annoys sounds cathartic.”
John scanned over the options again. When it ca to her support capabilities, Fractured Light would have been better. That massive discount, even with the RNG built into the duration, could make or break a lot of fights. He also noticed that Gaia had forgotten to put a cooldown in there, though he had to assu there was one.
Since Momo had resolved to go with Silence, there was no need to ask for a clarification.
The Silence was objectively insane anyhow. Well, it was held back by the inherent vagueness of the triggering condition, but active reality manipulation and anti-magic was extrely strong.
‘One more to go,’ John thought.
Daughter of the Gorged God was out for aesthetic reasons instantly. Monster of Sickness and Safety was out because John did not want martyr-based abilities anywhere near him.
That left Many Plagues on Purple River, which was just incredible anyhow. Upkeep-free Intensifies were massive and the freely-triggered Plaguexolotl state let her spread her mucus with additional ease. She could just switch back and forth depending on what the situation called for.
Plus, it was just the right choice for her. Big axolotl made of deadly diseases. It was aweso.
“Alright, that took a lot longer than expected,” John said, after, with Nahoa’s blessing, pressing the final button. “Now onto the other two matters I want to talk about.”
