Harem Master - RPG story

--- Asher Montgomery ---

"I was joking!" Lucy shouted between giggles, running away from Elara.

In just seconds, the assassin caught up to Lucy, but rather than stopping her, she rushed forward and, reaching the loot chest first, sat on top of it.

"Asher's gonna open it," Elara stated, glaring at Lucy.

"Don't worry, blondie. We all know who he's gonna put that ring on," Lucy said, patting Elara's knee as the rest of them approached the loot chest.

Asher grunted, his cheeks warming. While he would want to marry Elara in the future, it was much too soon for talks like that - especially in the dungeon. And with his whole harem listening.

"On his own hand?" Ava asked.

"Of course," Lucy replied. "But looking at him, I think someone else came to his mind."

"Let's open the chest," Asher said, gesturing for Elara to get off it.

"Do the honors," she said, standing next to him.

Asher opened the big chest and put his hand in the black void inside. As he closed his hand, there was nothing in his palm, but a ring appeared immediately on his finger.

He pulled his hand out of the chest and brought it close to his face. The ring was on the pointing finger, made out of black metal, with a shining blue line running through the middle of it.

"Could you take it off for a moment?" Ava asked.

"Hmm?" Asher hummed.

"We want to check its status," Ava replied.

"Sure," he said, pulling the ring from his finger and putting it in the palm of his hand, as he did the same.

"What..." Asher murmured after reading the description.

From the very top, the ring provided surprises. It was impossible to get a Legendary item from the Level 1 boss. However, it was a reward from the quest. Still, getting one was like... impossible. Not only did it require killing really strong monsters, but also a ton of luck. They were unusual most of the time, but that ring was on another level.

"It's so cool!" Lucy gasped, then grabbed the ring out of Asher's hand. "Take it back."

Before she even finished speaking, Asher already thought that he wanted it back, and that was enough. The ring turned into a small shining blue orb that flew out of Lucy's hand to his finger and materialized there as the ring.

"Wow!" Lucy gasped.

"Try to change it into something," Elara said.

Asher imagined the ring turning into a sword, and as the thought appeared in his mind, the same moment the ring shone, quickly growing, shifting to the palm of his hand, and a moment later, he was holding a long black sword with a blue line shining through the whole length of the blade.

When a thought that he still needed a shield crossed his mind, a blue orb flew from the tip of the sword and grew into a black round shield in his other hand.

Everyone was looking at it in awe, never having seen something like that before. Asher focused on his shield, and it quickly changed into a second sword. He swung both through the air, attacking imaginary opponents. Both rested comfortably in his hands, balanced perfectly.

"Try to make a gun!" Lucy gasped.

"That's actually a great idea," Elara said.

"I always have amazing ideas," Lucy replied, sticking out her tongue at her.

"You can only change it into dungeon weapons," Naomi pointed out.

Asher imagined it as a gun, but nothing happened. The two swords remained in his hands. "It doesn't work," he said. "Nami is probably right."

"That's a shame," Lucy said.

"It's super powerful," Ava said, then frowned. "That doesn't even reflect how good it is. Just the ability to change it into whatever weapon you want is powerful. But it will grow even stronger with you and the harem. You don't need to worry about a weapon ever again. You are going to use it for the rest of your life."

"Can you throw it and then pull it back?" Lucy asked, completely ignoring what Ava had said. But Asher realized she was right - he had just gotten an item he would never part with, one that would stay on his finger for the rest of his life.

"I can try," Asher answered Lucy, stepping to the side to have more space. He hurled one of the swords forward. It flew barely a few feet before it turned into a shining orb and flew back into the sword he still held in his hand. But it happened because he summoned it too soon in his thoughts, not letting it fly far away.

"You should use a weapon that's supposed to be thrown," Ava said. "We will need to prepare all the valid tactics, taking advantage of how fast you can change from one weapon to another."

Asher turned the sword in his hand into a smaller throwing axe, then hurled it forward. This time he waited a moment longer, and only when it was going to hit the ground, he summoned it back to his hand in the ring form.

"So cool!" Lucy gasped. "Can I try?"

"Sure," Asher replied, changing it into an axe again before he passed it to Lucy. She swung it a few times and then tossed it forward, as if aiming for an imaginary opponent.

As before, just a thought was enough for the ring to get back to Asher's hand.

"It's good that we took that quest," Elara said.

"Yeah, missing out on something like that..." Ava said, shaking her head.

"How is that even possible?" Asher asked, looking at the ring on his finger. He didn't really expect any answer - none of that had any explanation, just like no one could explain his strange class.

"The dungeon Gods must really like you," Lucy replied. "First you got your class. Now this ring. Lucky guy."

Asher wasn't even sure if he believed in the dungeon Gods. There was no proof of their existence, only theories of people who wanted to explain somehow why the dungeons existed.

"We should get back to the Academy," Ava said. "You can test the ring later on."

"Right," Asher said, and stepped back to the chest, putting his hand in the black void again.

This time his hand closed on a handle, and he pulled out a long sword, made from black rock just like the golems that they had killed.

Blind Golem Broadsword (Rare)

Required Level: 5

8 DMG

+5 Vitality

+4 Strength

A massive broadsword forged from the black stone remains of blind golems, creatures once strong enough to shatter mountains with their bare hands.

---

"Can I have it?" Lucy asked immediately after reading the status. "Please?" She pouted, looking at Asher.

"It makes sense to give it to you or Sam," Ava said.

"You can have it," Sam replied immediately.

"Yay! Thank you!" Lucy gasped, pulling the sword out of Asher's hand.

She swung it through the air a few times, holding it in just one hand despite how big it was. "Do I look hot with it?" she asked, glancing at Asher.

"You always look hot," he replied, reaching his hand into the chest again. This time he pulled out a single coin. But it was a silver one, that was worth 50 bronze coins.

"Great," Elara said. "Finally, we'll have some cash."

After splitting it between everyone, it wouldn't be much, but Asher kept it to himself, as he passed the coin to Ava who put it into her explorer bag.

The chest still remained standing in front of him, so he reached inside. This time he pulled out a big black rock that looked like a part of the golem they had killed.

---

Blind Golem's Rock (Rare)

Crafting Material

A remnant from the body of a blind golem. Harder than steel, ideal for forging heavy weapons or armor.

---

"We could sell it," Ava said. "Or we could take it to a blacksmith and have them forge something from it."

"I can take care of that today," Asher offered. "And see what we can get."

"I'll go with you," Lucy added eagerly.

"Me too," Elara said.

"Okay," Asher replied, passing the black rock to Lucy so she could put it in her explorer bag. "Ava and Sam, pass all the crafting components we've got so far to Lucy later on."

As they nodded, he reached into the chest again, and pulled a bow out of it. After that, the chest turned into a black mist, and vanished.

---

Rock-Tossing Bow (Rare)

Required Level: 5

10 DMG

+5 Agility

Increased Range

A bow crafted from enchanted stone, reinforced with magic to allow it to bend. Its toughness grants greater range, and its arrows strike with the weight and impact of falling rocks.

---

The bow looked like it was made out of rock, like every item from the chest so far, but when Asher tried to pull at the string, it bent easily as if the bow was made from something else.

"Naomi should take it," Sam said.

"Oh, we can sell it and split the cash," Naomi replied. "My bow is fine."

"I think you should take it," Asher said, passing her the bow.

"Yup!" Lucy added.

Naomi looked at everyone in turn, and only after all of them agreed, she took it from Asher. She created an arrow and released it in a high arc. It flew faster and farther than before thanks to the passive effect.

"Thank you," Naomi said, looking between her feet while holding the bow in both hands, pressed to her legs.

"No problem at all," Lucy replied, still holding her new sword.

"Actually," Naomi said, raising her gaze. "I can give my old bow to you, Sisi. If you want."

Sisi picked up Naomi's previous bow and tested it out, releasing an arrow toward a wall. "Can I really have it?" she asked, after the arrow hit the target.

"Yeah." Naomi nodded.

"Thank you," the dryad replied.

"Okay, that's all," Asher said. "We should go back. Sisi, if you want to come with us, you need to put on the armor again."

"Okay," Sisi replied, and then, with Lucy's help, proceeded to put it on.

"Everyone got the level up, right?" Ava asked, as they were waiting.

After everyone confirmed, she reminded them to use their skill points before the next exploring.

"You should get to the second level with him," Lucy said, nodding toward Asher. "Then you wouldn't need to worry about all that." She picked up the helmet that was the only missing piece and passed it to Sisi.

The dryad's cheeks darkened, but she quickly put the helmet on, hiding her face. Asher noted that she got flustered, but she also didn't protest.

"That won't explain why we walk into a dungeon with too many people," Elara said.

"Actually," Ava said. "We might say that's Asher's skill. That he is increasing the number of people we can take to a dungeon. That would explain why he's not doing the best at the Academy during training."

"First, let's wait to see if Sisi will stay with us," Asher said.

"I'm thinking about it," the dryad murmured, as everyone's attention turned toward her.

"Okay," Asher said. "Let's go back."

They walked through the portal, and all of them appeared back at the Academy, in the dungeon's entrance room.

"Do you need help?" the guard standing the closest immediately asked, looking at Naomi, who was still covered in blood.

"No," she murmured.

"We're fine, thanks," Ava said. "Healing potions healed everything, we just need to clean up."

After that, they left the room, stopping in the empty corridor of the Academy. "We can move into the house today, if we want," Asher said.

"Cool!" Lucy gasped.

They decided to clean and pick their items to move into the house, but Asher didn't want to leave Sisi alone, and she couldn't just walk around the Academy, so together with Elara, they headed to the house to keep an eye on the dryad before the rest of the team would come.

Asher texted Rachel and Madelyn that they had returned and everything was fine, but he had no time to wait for their responses, as they reached the house.

"Do you want to wash?" Asher asked Sisi, as they walked into the living room.

"Yeah," she murmured.

"Come with me." Asher led her to the bathroom upstairs and showed her how the shower worked.

Sisi was mostly nodding while closely watching what he was doing.

"Can you handle it?" he asked.

"That's like... amazing. You can just get water straight to your house?" Sisi asked.

"Yeah," Asher replied. "We have many amenities that make life better in comparison to life in the forest." He pulled out a towel from one of the cupboards and passed it to Sisi. "You can use it to dry yourself. I don't have any clothes for you, but you can use my hoodie and then borrow something from Lucy or Naomi." He passed her his hoodie that he had picked up from the living room when he had been heading to the bathroom.

"Thank you," Sisi replied.

"I know that you're still thinking about it, but if you decide to stay, we could go shopping and buy you some new clothes," Asher offered.

"Why?" the dryad asked.

"So you wouldn't need to borrow them from others," Asher replied, confused by her question.

"No, not about clothes," Sisi said. "Why do you want me to stay here?"

"Oh, right... You can help us in exploring," Asher replied. "But also, you are somehow connected to me. And despite that we both don't know how or why, perhaps we can find the answers together."

Sisi nodded, looking thoughtfully at him.

"Besides," Asher continued. "Here, you're safe. Or, you will be after... I will unlock you a new skill. I don't know exactly how your life looked in your world, but we met when you almost died. I know that we're exploring dungeons, and it's dangerous, but the rest of the time, here, at our house, you would be safe and could experience living in peace."

"That sounds nice," Sisi replied.

"Think about it," Asher said. "It will take time before we can bring you back to your lands anyway."

"Okay," Sisi murmured.

Asher turned around to leave the bathroom so she could wash.

"Asher..." Sisi said, stopping him before he left.

"Yes?"

Her cheeks were dark green, and she was looking at her feet as she clutched his hoodie in her small hands.

"Those dreams..." she murmured. "Are we going to... will we... do the things we had done in the dreams?"

"In my dreams, we only kissed," Asher said with a smile. "Did something more happen in yours?"

"No!" she gasped, her blush spreading down her neck. "Nothing more!"

Asher stepped in front of her and gently lifted her chin, meeting her golden eyes. He couldn't tell if she asked out of fear, that he might force her into something, or because she secretly wanted those dreams to come true. Either way, he needed words that would fit both.

"If you choose to stay here, you don't owe me anything. But you are beautiful, and I'd love to get to know you better... and see what might grow between us if we both want more."

The dryad remained looking at him before she nodded slightly. Asher leaned down, stopping a few inches from her lips, letting her make the choice.

Sisi hesitated only for a moment before she climbed on her toes and connected their lips gently. It was only a peck before she pulled back, averting her gaze.

"That was sweet," Asher said, licking his lips. "Let's wash now." He left the bathroom and went downstairs, where he could hear running water from the second bathroom. He walked inside, where Elara was already standing naked under the shower, her wet, lean body glistening as she turned toward him.

"What are you waiting for?" she asked with a smile, cocking her hip to the side and pushing her small tits toward him.

Asher's clothes were on the ground in a second, as he joined his girlfriend. She pushed him under the water, giggling as he hissed from the hot temperature. He washed himself quickly before he grabbed Elara and pulled her against his chest.

Grabbing the back of her head, he mashed his lips against hers as her tits flattened on his chest and her mound pressed against his already hard cock.

Their tongues danced together, playing with each other, hungry for more. Asher shifted his hands along her hips to her firm ass, squeezing cheeks that filled his palms, making Elara moan into their kiss.

She grabbed his cock, but because of how close they were pressed, she couldn't stroke it properly, so after a few awkward moves, she pulled her hips back and positioned his shaft at her entrance.

Asher groaned, breaking the kiss as her warmth closed around him, her tight walls drawing him in until Elara sank down onto his cock. Grabbing her thigh, he pushed her forward against the wall and lifted her leg, driving deeper until her folds pressed against the base of his shaft, his entire length buried inside her.

"Oh fuck," Elara murmured, with her eyes closed.

Asher began thrusting into his girlfriend, pressing her against the wall while he brought his lips to her neck, kissing the soft skin, making her moan and shiver in his arms.

Her pussy slid along his cock as he worked his hips, moving faster, spreading her insides harder. As the pleasure in him was building, he was letting his instincts take control, savouring the bliss of fucking his girlfriend's amazing body.

"Like that," Elara moaned, pulling his head closer, her leg wrapped around his hip, as she moaned with his every thrust. "Fuck!" she gasped when he sucked at her neck, right where the last hickeys had only just healed.

Leaving her skin red, Asher brought his lips back to her mouth and kissed her, muffling her gasps as he quickened his pace, their bodies slapping wetly against each other.

"Fuck," Elara moaned. "Oh, are you close?" she asked, panting loudly, as her pussy clenched around his shaft, her folds gliding along his length, bringing him closer to his release.

"Soon," Asher gasped. From the way Elara moaned and shuddered, he knew she was at the edge. It was quick, but for whatever reason, she was stopping herself, waiting for him.

He shifted his hand to squeeze her tits, pinching her nipples as he rammed his whole length into her tight pussy in long thrusts.

"You fill me so good," Elara moaned in a long, needy tone, pressing her body against his. "I love your big dick," she breathed out into his ear. "I want to feel your cum in me. Please! Give it to me," she whimpered, pushing her hips down to meet his moves.

"Fill me, Asher! Fill my hungry pussy with your hot cum!" she moaned loudly.

Her amazing wet body pressed against him, and her pussy, slick from her arousal sliding along his shaft, was enough to bring him to an orgasm, but her asking him that was what pushed him over the edge.

He groaned, thrusting his cock all the way into her, pushing her against the wall, as he erupted deep inside her.

Elara moaned lewdly, finally giving in to the pleasure. Her whole body trembled as her insides clenched and quivered around him.

The bliss surged through Asher's frame with his hot girlfriend wrapped around his manhood, as his whole body tingled from pleasure. When he finally caught a long breath, water was cascading down his back, as his cock was still buried in Elara, spurting the rest of his cum, filling her just as she had asked.

She was still trembling in his arms, her eyes closed and mouth wide open, as her orgasm lasted longer.

Basking in the afterglow of his own climax, Asher watched his gorgeous girlfriend still ride the wave of pleasure with his eyes half-lidded. He slowly brushed his hands over her body - massaging her tits, flat stomach, and perky ass.
