I Hate Systems

Chapter 16: Slave Harem System

<Ding!>

The sound felt heavenly as Regriel noticed the time around him had almost stopped. But, he could see the energy blade moving towards him slowly, so it was apparent that time had only slowed down, ‘W-What’s happening?’

<Ding!>

[Activating Slave Harem System]

[Status: Host’s life is threatened]

[Host, do you wish to use the beginner package?]

‘A System?’ Regriel thought, moving his mouth to see that he wasn’t able to speak. He then thought, trying to communicate through the mind, ‘Are you a system?’

[I’m the Slave Harem System]

[Host, time is running short. Do you wish to use the beginner package?]

‘I have nothing to lose by this point. Only this might save me.’ Regriel thought in a hurry, ‘I’ll use the beginner package.’

<Ding!>

[Extracting beginner package]

[Obtained Core-Skill: Harem Slave (Level 1)]

[Obtained one-time-use Skill: Harem Slave (Level Max)]

<Ding!>

[Do you wish to use the one-time-use Skill: Harem Slave (Level Max)?]

‘Yes! Use it!’ Regriel bellowed mentally, noticing a mysterious energy of sorts accumulate on his right hand.

<Ding!>

[Host, please select your target]

Upon seeing the blade nearing him, Regriel thought hurriedly, ‘The two guards are weaker than General Artica. And most of all, they are male. There’s only one option then. General Artica!’

His right hand immediately moved forward and touched the skin of General Artica. The mysterious energy condensed in his hand seeped into her body through the skin, instantly coursing through her body before causing the areas of her crotch and neck to glow.

Regriel noticed a tattoo in the shape of a collar appear on her neck when the world around him returned to normal, causing him to scream as the energy blade stopped right before beheading him. There was a tiny cut on his neck as he screamed in pain. But, the energy sword didn’t behead him.

“What happened, General Artica?” The two guards were confused upon seeing the look of confusion on her face.

‘What happened?’ General Artica frowned as she tried to move her hand and behead Regriel, but for some reason, intense pain assaulted her from her heart the moment she thought of it. The pain wasn’t physical, but was an emotional one, as if she was executing her beloved.

Memories flashed through her mind, recalling the first time she met Regriel. He was being a jerk as he lecherously ogled her all along, staring at her breasts proactively. At that time, she felt humiliated by his gaze, wishing to do nothing else but slash him into pieces.

After that, on numerous occasions, Regriel always tried to harass her. All the time, she made an excuse and vanished from the scene. And, she had tremendous hatred against the man that didn’t value a soldier like her that had shed blood for the Kingdom but rather treated her as a woman that should have been his plaything.

But now, when she recalled the same thought, her opinion changed mysteriously, ‘He was just interested in me.’

‘When I was young back then, he looked at me, only me. And even now, he’s still looking at me the same. This isn’t lust. I just misunderstood him because of his facial expression. Regriel is a kind man. He just loves me dearly.’

‘Yes, I love him!’

Her thoughts were rapidly twisted, and before she realised it, she had thrust her sword forward, piercing it into the chest of the nearby guard.

“What are you doing, General Artica?” The guard screamed in shock as he tried to extricate himself. He pulled out his weapon, intending to condense his energy blade when the one piercing his chest expanded, severing him into two.

The other guard had become alert as he condensed his blade, getting ready to parry her attack when the three figures behind General Artica moved, jumping towards him before attacking him.

He hurriedly deflected the attacks of the three puppets, flinching at the power behind each blow that threatened to destroy his energy blade when he noticed his hands were weightless all of a sudden; intense pain assaulted him.

General Artica had sneaked to his side and severed his hands. Before he could shout, she plunged the blade through his head, pulling it out as she flicked it once.

‘What about the carriage driver?’ She quickly turned around, noticing a galloping horse. The carriage driver had spontaneously removed the harness and rode a horse, intending to inform the Queen about her betrayal.

‘No, I shouldn’t allow him to return.’ She thought, commanding her puppets to move when suddenly, intense sounds of laughter resounded from behind her, startling her.

“Hahahaha!” Regriel fell on his back, feeling the soft snow as he laughed at the top of his lungs, “Damn you, Aunt. You stripped my father of his power and even tried to assassinate me. I’ll take revenge on you!”

General Artica hurriedly arrived beside him, propping him up with care as her eyes were filled with a gentle gaze, “Are you okay…dear?”

‘Dear? Holy heck! This is amazing. To think the ever beautiful and devoted General Artica would call me that. Slave Harem System, is it? Amazing! Amazing!’ Regriel thought as he looked at General Artica in close-up, taking in the visage of her beautiful face as he inhaled her scent, getting intoxicated by it as he pulled her close, planting his lips on her.

“Umph!” General Artica was startled by his sudden action. But, she didn’t resist, closing her eyes as she slowly wrapped her arms around Regriel.

‘She’s not resisting.’ Regriel noticed as he was overwhelmed with euphoria, weaving his way through her clothes as he entered her, finishing his task within three seconds as he grunted in exhaustion.

General Artica looked at him with a blank stare, disappointed, “…that’s it?”

“Of course not!” Upon seeing her beautiful figure, Regriel stood up once again and entered her, staying within for another three seconds.

“…You need to train.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Regriel said with a dejected tone. But internally, he was roaring with laughter, ‘To think I can do it with General Artica, The General Artica of all women. Hahahaha!’

He then summoned every essence of his being and willpower to last another three seconds.
