Harem Master - RPG story

Hey! A new chapter of Harem Master is here. Enjoy the read!

--- Asher Montgomery ---

"Asher!?" Madelyn suddenly shouted.

Asher abruptly pulled back from Lucy, breaking their kiss and shifting his attention behind her. Madelyn stood there with her eyes wide open, staring at him in confusion and shock.

"Madelyn," he gasped.

Lucy sprang to her feet and stepped toward Madelyn.

"Hey, I'm Lucy. Are you a member of--"

Asher got up quickly and covered her mouth, muffling the last word.

"How could you?" Madelyn asked quietly.

"It's not like that. I can explain," Asher protested, then grimaced, realizing how it sounded. "Really," he added.

"I-I will tell Elara everything!" Madelyn said, stepping back from him.

"I'm in an open relationship with her," Asher blurted out.

"O-Open? What?" Madelyn asked, frowning.

Asher groaned, hiding his face in his hands. "We can sleep with other people. Well, women. Both of us. If you want, you can ask Elara and tell her about what you saw. It's not going to be a surprise to her," Asher explained.

Madelyn bit her lip, staring at him, thinking.

"So, who is Elara?" Lucy asked.

Madelyn gasped. "She didn't know you had a girlfriend?!"

Asher sighed, rubbing his face with his hand.

"She knows that I have... someone, but she doesn't know Elara personally. Yet. She's going to meet her soon," he explained.

Madelyn fell silent again, chewing on her lip, staring at Asher, and he could tell that she was lost in all of it. It was all true, and he wasn't sure what else he should tell her. But he realized that if she already knew this much, he should just tell her everything.

"It's a little bit more complicated, but I can explain everything," Asher said and glanced at Lucy, realizing that he could explain things to both of them at the same time.

"Let's sit?" he asked, pointing at the seats.

Madelyn nodded and sat down at the table. Asher grabbed Lucy's hand and pulled her to sit facing Madelyn. He looked between both women before he sighed.

"Lucy, this is Madelyn, and Madelyn, this is Lucy," Asher said, introducing them. "Madelyn's my friend--my best friend. But she doesn't know about... you know..." he hesitated. "My class," he added.

Madelyn squinted confused, biting her lip and staring at him. Asher started to worry that she was going to actually draw blood if she continued biting her lip so hard.

"Oh, so I almost let it slip?" Lucy asked.

"Yes, and for God's sake, we're trying to keep it a secret. So don't go around asking everyone if they're part of it," Asher said.

"Okay, sorry! I didn't know. My lips are sealed," Lucy said quickly.

"I was thinking about telling Madelyn anyway," Asher sighed, focusing on his blonde friend. "So, you know that I didn't want to get a support class."

Madelyn only nodded.

"Not only did I get it, but it's... strange. It... has elements that are related to sexual activity, and it kind of forces Elara and I to have an open relationship."

He paused, waiting for any reaction, but Madelyn just stared at him, still biting her lip.

"It's called Harem Master, and well... I need to create a harem to get stronger, and I make women that join stronger too," Asher explained.

Madelyn's gaze shifted over his face, jumping between his eyes as they sat in silence for a moment.

"It's so amazing!" Lucy exclaimed. "Just like in Dungeon Ecstasy. Have you seen it?" she asked Madelyn, who shook her head in reply.

"Oh, you should watch it. It's awesome. And really hot. It's about a man who gets a class like Asher," Lucy added.

"So... Ava, Naomi, Sam, and Lucy?" Madelyn asked quietly.

"They all joined already. Well, except Lucy, but we will take care of that in a moment," Asher replied.

"And Elara?" Madelyn asked.

"She was the first one that joined. It's not easy, but we've had many conversations and we're trying to adapt to it. That's why our relationship is open," Asher explained, before he turned toward Lucy. "Elara is my girlfriend, and we have been together long before I got my class," he added.

"Is she bi?" Lucy asked.

Asher glanced at Madelyn, wondering if he should talk about Elara's preferences in front of her, but realized Elara wouldn't mind.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Is she hot?" Lucy asked.

Asher snorted. "Yes."

"Cool! I can't wait for our threesome!"

Asher glanced at Madelyn, who was staring down with her cheeks reddened.

"Umm... that's mostly all. I mean, there are some details, but you probably don't want to know them," he said to Madelyn, who remained silent.

"Do you... have any questions?" Asher asked, not really sure what to do when Madelyn hardly reacted after he had explained things to her.

"Were you... planning to... add me to this..." Madelyn whispered.

"What?! Oh, no! I thought we were just friends, not like..." Asher replied, frowning and wondering if Madelyn was interested in something more than that.

"Ugh, we are!" Madelyn exclaimed, raising her eyes to his face.

"Good," Asher replied.

"So, are you going to add me finally?" Lucy asked, breaking the silence that fell between Asher and Madelyn.

Asher hesitated, glancing from her to Madelyn.

"Umm... I will go back to my room. I need to think about it," she said.

"Are we good?" Asher asked.

"I think so," Madelyn whispered. "And I can talk to Elara about it?" she asked, rising from her chair.

"Of course. Maddy, she really does know everything. I really wouldn't lie to you about this."

She stared at him for a moment, and just walked away.

He kept his eyes on her until she climbed the stairs and was gone from sight. Then he turned toward Lucy, who was staring at him expectantly. He sighed but upgraded his skill, making a spot for her in his harem.

"Ready?" he asked.

Lucy didn't answer but grabbed his shirt and pulled him into a kiss. He stopped it quickly after activating his skill and adding her to his harem.

Added a new Harem Member - Lucy Izanami - Dawn Valkyrie (Warrior)

Harem Level Up!

Harem Level: 13

---

"It worked! Oh my god! I got an announcement!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Welcome to my team. And harem," Asher said, smiling. He was relieved that he had managed to complete a team, and at least that wasn't a problem anymore. But now, he was worried about how Madelyn would react to his class and the whole situation that was happening around him.

"When will I meet the other girls? Are they hot? When are we having our first orgy?"

"Okay, okay, slow down a little," Asher said. "We will have a meeting today, so you can get to know them, and we need to talk about a few things. They are attractive. And about the... orgy. Sam is not interested in women. And Naomi... I don't know, but she's certainly not ready to have sex."

"Oh, she's like Hana? Shy, inexperienced virgin?"

"Umm... yeah, something like that," Asher replied, assuming that was probably another anime character.

"What about Elara and Ava?" Lucy asked, sounding hopeful.

"They might be interested," Asher replied.

"Cool! So, you can upgrade my class now?" Lucy asked, changing the topic.

"Yeah," Asher replied. He shifted to sit in a way that he could see the whole room and make sure that no one was listening before he opened Lucy's status.

---

Asher read through it quickly in silence. It was just her basic class status, and what really interested her were the upgrades and new skills.

---

Skill Upgrades:

- Judgment Strike -> Judgment Blessing (Level 1 -- Active -- Cooldown: 30 minutes, Mana cost: 50) - Imbues the weapon with sacred light for 10 minutes. All attacks during this time deal an additional 5 (4 + 20% Intelligence) magic damage. (2 points)

---

"Let's go through the upgrades first," Asher said. "With Sacred Might it's simple. I can increase the bonus damage from twenty to forty percent, and it costs one point."

"Oh my god! That's amazing!" Lucy squealed.

Asher looked at her, confused. "It's actually not that amazing."

"What? You can just make my skill better -- how's that not amazing?" she demanded.

"I mean, sure, it's good. But honestly, it's the least exciting thing I can offer you," Asher said.

Lucy shifted closer, eyes sparkling. "Go on."

"I can change your Judgment Strike into Judgment Blessing. Instead of dealing an extra ten damage in a single hit, you'll deal an extra five damage with every attack for ten minutes."

"I will deal so much damage!" Lucy gasped.

"And there are four new skills," Asher continued. "Master Love could passively boost your stats up to ten percent, depending on my feelings toward you, but it's really expensive--five points."

"Ten percent all the time!?"

"Up to ten percent. We don't know how much you would actually get," Asher replied.

"Easy! You just have to fall madly in love with me!" Lucy said.

Asher shook his head but smiled. "Next is Unyielding Spirit. When your HP drops below fifty percent, you'll deal twenty-five percent more damage and take twenty-five percent less damage for five minutes. It can activate once every two hours."

"Cool! I can get my ass kicked and then turn into a badass laughing at my enemies!" Lucy said, eyes wide as she imagined her glorious comeback.

"Let's try not getting your ass kicked," Asher said dryly.

"Unless it's in bed, right?" Lucy asked, winking.

Asher rolled his eyes, smiling. "The last two are a bit... they have sexual conditions."

"You're just making me more excited!" Lucy gasped, practically vibrating with energy.

"Aurora Shine can only be used when you have my... cum in your body. It loads your weapon with holy energy and blasts enemies with a shining wave."

"AOE holy nukes? Yes, please!"

"And Holy Blessing can boost Strength, Agility, and Intelligence by three points for three minutes, for you or for someone else" he added.

"And the condition?"

"To use it on someone, you need to make that person... climax within the last three hours. It can be self-casted."

Lucy giggled. "So I can get a boost after I play with myself. Or I can boost you after I give you a blowjob," she said.

"Well, that or any other way you can make me come," Asher explained.

Lucy was practically bouncing in her seat, grinning wildly.

"We'll go over everyone's skills at the meeting, but since everyone already knows mine, I can tell you now," Asher said, feeling surprisingly relaxed around her despite talking about his unusual class. He wasn't sure if it was because of Lucy or if he was getting used to it, repeating it time after time.

"Oh, they must be amazing too," Lucy gasped. "I'm listening."

"Well, Building Harem allows me to invite people, limits my harem size, and sets them a relationship level," Asher explained, as Lucy stared at him, nodding her head and grinning. "Partner Enhancement lets me boost one partner's stat by ten points for ten minutes."

"Oh, and I thought that my boost with nine points was strong. And I assume in the future you will be able to boost more than one person at once?"

"Probably."

"Cool!"

Asher smirked, leaving the skills that he suspected she might like the most for the end.

"Because of Stats Amplification, I don't have my own stats and I started with zero, but I gained a percentage of each harem member's stats."

"Oh, so you should add as much as you can to be super strong. And when you have a harem of a hundred women then you will be invincible!"

"Don't you think a hundred is a little too much?" Asher asked, smirking.

"Perhaps just a little," Lucy replied, giggling.

"Then, there is Building Relationship," Asher continued. "It allows us to increase relationship levels... by kissing, touching in intimate areas, and oral sex. More actions will be added with upgrades," Asher stated.

Lucy sat, mouth wide open, as she stared at him without moving or saying anything. Then she started giggling. "Your class is fucking amazing!" she exclaimed. "Oh my fucking God! I love it!"

"And last, Additional Protection--it guarantees none of my harem members can get pregnant when toggled on."

"We're gonna fuck raw!" Lucy yelled, throwing her arms into the air.

"Lucy! Keep your voice down," Asher hissed, glancing around. Luckily, they were alone.

"Sorry, sorry," Lucy said, bouncing on the spot. "But this is like the best day of my life!"

Asher chuckled, shaking his head. "Okay, you need to meet with Rachel. I will escort you to her, and after you take care of everything, we will have a team meeting," he said, standing up.

Lucy followed him through the Academy, practically bouncing with happiness at every step. Asher watched her pink hair swaying up and down, but then realized that he should warn Elara that Madelyn knows about his class and might want to talk to her. He texted her a short message, but she didn't reply.

"It's here," Asher said, stopping in front of Rachel's office and passing Lucy's suitcase to her. "Oh, and she's a support tutor and knows about my class and... everything, so if you want, you can talk to her about it."

"Cool!" Lucy exclaimed, and knocked on the door.

"See you later," Asher said, moving toward the stairs. He pulled out his phone and texted Naomi, asking when she and Sam would have time to meet. Elara still hadn't replied to him, and he assumed she was too occupied with her training.

There was one last member of his harem that he needed to contact, but he chose to meet with her in person. He worried about her after what had happened the previous day.

He knocked on Ava's door. There was a moment of silence when no one answered. He pulled out his phone and called her. He heard buzzing from behind the door. After a moment, someone got up and walked to the door. The lock clicked open, but the door remained closed.

He opened it himself and stepped into her room. Ava stood in the middle, wearing nothing but a loose, strapless top that clung lightly to her body and a pair of baggy shorts hanging low on her hips.

"Did something happen?" Ava asked quietly.

"We have a full team. I already added Lucy," Asher said.

Ava only nodded.

"And I wanted to check on you," he added. "You didn't show up to class today."

"What's the point?" Ava asked, shrugging.

Asher hesitated, then sat down on her bed and patted the spot next to him. Ava walked over and sat down beside him.

"Are you okay?" he asked, knowing the answer but hoping she would open up a little bit more.

Ava shrugged. "I don't know. It's just... all of it was pointless. I thought that my father would realize how great I am and appreciate me. But also it was my goal, my dream. I thought that when I reached it, I would be... I don't know... happy? Fulfilled? But after the talk with my father, I was only..." Ava didn't finish and sighed heavily.

Asher shifted closer on the bed and put his hand on her back, stroking gently. "It wasn't pointless, Ava. You're the best mage at the Academy. You're strong and powerful."

"Even if so, I don't know what to do now. Before, the plan was to continue my training to not let Thomas ever get better than me. But now? With your class boosting mine? He doesn't really have a chance to catch up. And... I don't know if it even makes sense. Before, at least I had some goal, some destination, and now I feel like..." Ava trailed off, unable to find the words for her thoughts and feelings.

"Like you reached the destination and there's nothing there?" Asher asked.

Ava glanced at him. "Yeah. Something like that. I don't know what I hoped would happen or change when I beat him, but I hoped for something. And... there's nothing."

"Maybe you can find yourself a new goal? Something new to accomplish?" Asher suggested, not really sure if that would help her.

Ava looked at him, thinking for a moment. "And reach another empty destination?" she asked.

"Maybe try to find a goal that doesn't just promise something at the end, but actually makes you happy along the way?" Asher suggested.

Ava sighed and lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling without answering him. Her loose shirt emphasized her small, perky tits and nipples that poked through the thin material.

"Do you really like them so much, or is it just a male thing to stare at any tits?" Ava asked.

Asher turned his gaze toward her face and noticed that she had caught him staring.

"Sorry," he replied, his cheeks blushing, as he lay down next to her to avoid staring at her chest anymore.

Ava just shrugged, focusing again on the ceiling.

"Do you actually like training and studying?" he asked after a moment.

"Mostly," Ava replied. "I like studying magic. Not about monsters and dungeons."

"So don't, and study only what you like. Leave learning about monsters and dungeons to me," he replied. "Or you can try to find something else, that is not at all connected to dungeons, that you would like to do," he suggested.

Ava glanced at him. "Like what?"

Asher shrugged. "I don't know. Something that makes you feel good when you do it. Or you can try whatever comes to your mind, and maybe you will find something new that excites you," he said.

Ava nodded without answering anything more. Asher stared at her for a moment, wondering if he could say something else that might help her, but he was interrupted when his phone pinged with a new message.

It was from Elara, but he also had a message from Naomi. She and Sam had finished their classes and were free to meet the whole day. Elara had finished her training and wanted to meet after taking a quick shower.

"We could hold a team meeting soon. Are you up for it?" Asher asked Ava.

"Sure."

Asher asked Rachel when Lucy would be free. When she answered "in twenty minutes," he texted Elara and Naomi, letting them know they'd be having a team meeting in about half an hour with their newest member, Lucy. And he asked if they could hold it in Naomi and Sam's room.
