章 5: Okay, it's a Joke

Strax decided to return to the surface while it was still daytime, as he would have to meet the Baroness the next day, who his "work friends" said would reward him.

"Okay, I have fifteen white points, what should I increase? I need more agility at the same time, it would be good to have higher vitality, damn, I really don't know... ah, screw it, I'll put 5 points into each: vitality, stamina, and agility, so I stay balanced between the three."

"Okay, we're doing well. At least now I have stamina that rivals my strength. I'll be able to last longer in fights, and my agility is much higher than normal. You could say I'm in shape now."

"The real problem will be intelligence and defense. I need to know how cultivation works in this world. I can't just distribute points randomly, but now I have another vital piece of information."

"Missions can start anywhere, even a cave can be the target of missions. Furthermore, the system can also give points, not just leveling up gives me these points."

"For now, I'll try to keep the points saved until I understand how cultivation works and if cultivation can or cannot influence the status window."

"If it does influence, as I'm predicting, then intelligence may passively increase, just as defense will increase when I start using armor or body training. So really, my best bet is to save the points and decide later. Fortunately, I only put them into things that are really useful, so I don't think I'll have problems later."

His thoughts were strategic. Although he still doubted this world, he was already adapting in the best possible way, especially when something that could change his entire life was involved. He already had the mindset that this world was only for the strong, instinctively.

With his thoughts in order, he could finally ascend to the surface and end his day. However, he still had something to test, so he quickly returned to his makeshift home and sat on his wooden bed.

"Okay, let's see... how do I use this?" He questioned aloud as he looked at the Abilities tab, which had only one skill written in gold, just one.

[Inventory]

He looked possessively as he tried to see how he could activate such a skill, but... well...

"Open Inventory!" He said aloud, like an idiot, but nothing happened, not even a response from the system.

"Inventory!" He tried again and was ignored. "Go Inventory!" He tried again, but nothing. "Inventory Skill!" Also failed... "Shazam!" He said... but again, nothing. "Open Sesame!", "Abracadabra!" "Alakazam?"

He kept trying numerous times.

"Ah, screw it! What the hell is this? Damn, did it have to be so stupid?" He cursed. He had tried every way to use the skill and nothing.

"Damn, I thought a portal would open for me to throw things I want into it. Maybe there's what? A world inside? I'll never know, this damn system doesn't work!" He yelled. If there were night patrols passing by his door, they would probably barge in and kick him out for making so much noise, but...

"Okay, is this a joke?" He questioned, seeing a one-meter portal in front of him, after just yelling about how bad the system was, finally, something happened.

"Do you like seeing me go crazy with the system, huh? All-powerful entity of the sector, whatever, please, be friendlier, I would like to live my life peacefully with a beautiful wife, okay?" Strax, in a surge of madness, was already arguing with the world's own god, without even knowing if he existed or not.

[Congratulations on finally reaching level one of the system! After finally understanding what the Harem world means! Obtain more knowledge to unlock the next levels of the System! Be the Dragon-Demon God and love your beautiful wives!]

"Eh?" Strax had nothing to say, in fact... he hadn't read the previous name when the System appeared...

"Harem of the... of the... D-Demon D-Dragon G-God?" He finally read the name correctly... Well, he was too excited about the System, he actually liked being able to level up so much that he ignored the name of the system.

"Okay, calm down, let's see what this system has to offer."

'Harem abilities in... let's take a look.' He just thought and the screen changed, this time the system was really working.

"Incubus..." [Incubus Ability: A passive, you have greater affinity and charisma with women who you consider or attract your attention, your appearance is as attractive as that of an Incubus!]

"Let's see... Analysis." [Analysis Ability: Ability allows once a day to check a target, the ability is at level one, so you can only check the name and cultivation of the target.]

"Well, dual cultivation I already imagine what it is... but it's good to check, isn't it?" [Dual Cultivation Ability: You can cultivate during sex with your partner, during the process you and your partner can match in cultivation depending on the required affinity, dual cultivation is a passive, so it is always active, in all situations.]

"Well, I didn't expect anything different from that. At least now I know the System will never fail, right? Let's see."

"Inventory." The portal opened instantly over Strax's hands, and he smiled slightly.

"Finally, this is working properly, let's see how this will unfold. I want more abilities!"
