Naruto_uzumaki_7792[webnovel]:You won't gain normal skills, I mean sword master and stuff like that.?
AVIP: I think you stopped reading at chapter one, after all we all know that Jason gains powers by doing something more... "pleasurable" than training.
----- Chapter -----
[Jason]
After talking with the captain in the forest and agreeing to be his team of avengers, he told me to get some time to recover; he will wait before assigning us a mission.
Thanks to a map brought by Zyss and the directions the captain gives, we make it back to the village without a problem. Normally, the trip takes ten days on foot or five by horse... but we did it in just a day and a half.
Actually, Artoria, Lindana, and Val did it in a day by running. I was carried by Val's powerful Tarrasque body, while Zyss was carried by Artoria.
When we get back to town, I am impressed by Zyss's work reinforcing the defenses and am relieved the orc mamonos who stayed behind didn't attack the men who are still recovering.
My dad has partially recovered. He is helping on the farm, but sometimes he sits quietly, breathing heavily when his mind drifts somewhere dark.
I offered to stay on the farm while he recovers, but my mom says I am building something with the mamonos in my group and I can't leave my girls alone. I suggested bringing them to the farm, but she said my dad doesn't react well to mamonos nearby.
Understanding my parents' situation but still feeling down, I went to the Yss sisters' house, where I walked into a dinner party celebrating my return.
"Whoa." I mutter surprised by the congregation.
There are a lot of mamonos here besides my party: Zyss's sisters, twenty orcs, Clarabella, and her daughter.
As sit down Tyss climbs up on the table, barefoot, stepping over empty plates and knocked-over cups. Somehow she manages to stay balanced, her face red from wine and excitement.
"Shut up, everyone!" she yells, her voice echoing across the backyard where we are gathered. No way the house fits 29 people. "I want to make a toast!"
The chatter stops. Everyone looks at the tiny goblin on the table. Even the usually rowdy orcs fall silent, eyes shining with anticipation.
"To our Jason!" Tyss raises her cup, red liquid sloshing near the rim. "Who stopped an orc raid, survived several days of rape, just to be tortured soon after, and defeated a lich like the great hero he is!"
A chorus of cheers and whistles erupts. Clarabella, seated across from me, blows a kiss while gently caressing her chest. Zyss leans her head on my shoulder, her face glowing with pride.
"And even more impressive!" Tyss adds, silencing the crowd again. "He discovered a brand new species of mamono and was the first one to FUCK HER!" The goblin shouts the last part
The mamonos erupt with deafening cheers, deep, raspy voices chanting my name.
"JASON! JASON! JASON!"
The orcs stomp their feet, shaking the ground. Their excitement is contagious, and soon everyone is laughing and shouting together, everyone except Valthora, who hides her red face in all four hands.
"Shut up!" Lindana's voice cuts through the noise like a blade. She stands, swaying from the wine, but her eyes burn with that signature intensity. "You all disgust me."
The orcs, once loud, now stare at her with respect and fear. Even drunk, the Cursed Sword radiates a dangerous aura they can't ignore.
"But..." one of the orcs tries to speak, but Lindana silences her with a glare.
"To tell the tr-hic-truth, the idea of sharing my Darling with you fills me with a murderous rage of insane proportion," Lindana continues, her voice steady despite her swaying. "Can you imagine it? Me in-hic-insane ?"
Everyone turned their face, fearful of facing the insane and drunk Cursed Sword.
"But if I ha-hic-have to share," Lindana says, picking a wine bottle from the table. "It better be with the strongest group of mamonos in the world!" Lindana finishes, chugging down the wine straight from the bottle.
The orcs burst into applause again, louder than ever, shouting my name with even more fervor.
Valthora tries to shrink into herself, her face still hidden.
After a few minutes of cheering, once things calm down, Zyss turns to me and asks:
"So what now, Jason?" Her green eyes sparkle with excitement. "What's the plan?"
Hearing that, Artoria chimes in:
"I admit I'm curious as well, my Lord. While we wait for Captain Cappadocia's call, do you plan to build us a home here at the village? Now that it's so fortified, it seems like the safest place around."
Lindana, slurring from the wine, agrees with a hiccup:
"I want a lo-hic-love nest with my Darling!"
Their question catches me off guard, but after a few seconds of thought, I shake my head.
"Building something in the village isn't a good idea. The Order will probably return in a few years looking for recruits. It's not worth risking our stay here."
"Jason is right," Clarabella nods. "I'm left alone because I'm a well-known, 'domesticated' type of mamono." The use of the term makes her lightly depressed, but she continues. "But you guys..."
Zyss, now more serious, adds:
"A place in the city housing twenty orcs and several other mamonos wont be looked upon kindly by the Order."
That makes me think for a bit.
"A hidden place, but near roads and the village for resources and mobility..." I murmur.
Then it hits me.
"What if we use this place?" I point to the Yss sisters' backyard. "We could clear some trees and expand the area. We're far enough from town for privacy but close enough to defend it if needed. Plus, the forest hides us."
Kyss, always grumpy, objects immediately:
"My house isn't a pigsty for these hogs!"
The orcs growl at that, but Kyss doesn't back down. Zyss jumps in to calm things down:
"We can build separate housing for them, no need to use our house. There's enough space to work and we can expand if necessary."
"Sooo, my dear city planner of a sister, how long would it take just to clear the trees?" Tyss asks, taking a big gulp of wine.
Zyss thinks for a moment before answering.
"Even with orc help, probably several days. There are a lot of big, wide trees."
A mischievous grin spreads across my face.
"It doesn't have to take that long," I say, rubbing my hands like a cartoon villain. "I think I could do it in just a few hours."
All the mamonos look at me in confusion. Artoria tilts her head, curious. Lindana hiccups again, while trying to follow my logic.
"If Kyss, Tyss, and Zyss give me the land, I can take care of it quickly," I say, smiling.
The goblins exchange uncertain glances, but there is trust in their eyes. Tyss and Zyss just nod in agreement, but Kyss crosses her arms feeling grumpy.
Her sisters stare her down until she finally gives up.
"Fine." Kyss says in a tired tone. "But I want some dick in return."
Everyone laughs at the tsundere goblin for a moment until Linada turns to me.
"Buut… how will you do it, Darling?" She asks, her voice slurred and tired.
I stand up as a blue window pops in front of me, answering my mind commands.
[Harem Master Citadel]
Goblin Forest [Available]
[Harem Master Citadel]
As I click the option, an isometric map of the region pops up, showing the entire territory of the Yss sisters.
"Holy crap!" I gasp.
Forty hectares (99 acres) of land? That's practically the size of Vatican City. I can't believe they have this much space hidden in the forest.
"This is amazing," I whisper. "You guys own all this?"
The Yss sisters exchange proud and surprised glances.
"But how will you clear it all so fast?" Zyss asks.
"Leave it to me." I say with a grin.
I tap the Claim and Clean button. The screen glows briefly. When the light fades, the map shows a completely transformed space.
All around us, the forest responds. Trees, rocks, and other residues vanish, leaving a flat, clean area ready for construction.
The wood and stone are stacked in neat piles like they are ready for use.
"Even better than I expected," I say, closing the window. "All clean and organized."
The mamonos stare in silence, eyes wide. Artoria is the first to speak:
"That was... impressive, my Lord. How did you do that?"
I shrug.
"My system adds this new mechanic."
Lindana hiccups and laughs.
"My darling is so po-hic-powerful! I knew you more than a great dick!"
The orcs now look at me with respect and awe.
I slowly walk toward the cleared area, eyes scanning the vast space. It leaves me a little dizzy.
"Forty hectares... How am I supposed to fill all this? Building a house for me and the girls is one thing, but what else?"
"Jason," Zyss calls, "maybe the system assumes we'll need farmland?"
"Farmland?" I repeat, confused. The word echoes in my mind, and then it hits me like a slap. "We're not alone anymore," I mutter.
Besides the four girls, I have twenty orcs to care for, each eating like a construction worker on overtime.
"Damn," I groan, clutching my head. "How am I going to feed everyone?"
The mamonos exchange worried glances. A quiet murmur spreads among them. I feel guilty; I don't want them blaming themselves for something that is my responsibility. In the middle of the whispers, Valthora timidly raises her hand.
"Ha!" Slurls Lindano wasted. "Bitch thinks this is a classroom."
Ignoring the cursed sword I turn to Val, and she slowly lowers it, eyes on the ground.
"What is it, Val?" I ask gently.
She takes a deep breath before speaking, face red with embarrassment.
"You told us that you gain powers whenever you... you know... are intimate with a mamono," she says quietly. "Depending on the type, you get specific abilities."
I frown, trying to understand her point.
"I know, Val. But how does that help now?"
She looks up, locking eyes with me.
"Well, if you lay with a plant-type mamono, maybe you'd gain powers that help with farming."
Stunned Silence is my answer as everyone stares at her, stunned. Even the orcs are quiet. Realizing the awkward silence, Valthora shrinks back.
"Sorry, that was a stupid idea," she whispers.
But I cut her off, voice firm:
"No, Val. You're 100% right."
All eyes turn to me again. I go on, more confident with every word.
"That's brilliant. If I find a plant-type mamono, I could gain plant powers to produce food by farming. That would solve everything."
The idea starts to spread through the group. Artoria nods, eyes glowing.
"My lord is right, lady Valthora," she says, bowing slightly. "A truly brilliant idea."
"But for now…" I say, grabbing everyone's attention. "Let's build."
On the window in front of me, several job slots show up for the build site, but only three are unlocked. At the bottos are a list with the mamonos on my harem, and which job they can fill.
[Harem Master Citadel]
Foreman Architect General Laborer
[Harem Master Citadel]
Zyss can be placed in any of the available roles. All the others in my harem can only serve as general laborers.
Since I am not planning anything too fancy or complex, I set Zyss as Foreman, and assign Lindana, Val, Artoria, and the twenty orcs as General Laborers.
Once that is done, a list of possible buildings appears.
The fastest one I can build using only wood and some stone is something called a Training Barracks.
[Training Barracks]
Capacity: 00/50 +25% to Physical Conditioning +50% bonus in Military Tactics +70% bonus in Combat Training x2 bonus to Military Discipline
[Training Barracks]
"Looks like I'm going to be building an army now..." I think, a mix of excitement and anxiety bubbling in my chest.
I shake off the thought and hit the button to start construction.
I watch as the wood and stone vanish, just to then reappear, laid out as the foundation of the Training Barracks.
"Whoooooaaaa!" everyone around me shouts in surprise.
Within minutes, the large building is complete.
The excitement is contagious. Everyone rushes inside to check it out. It is simple, but spacious, with fifty bunk beds.
Unfortunately for the orcs, the bunks don't have mattresses or sheets yet.
"I've got plenty of fabric and tarp to donate to your cause," Tyss says, surprising the orcs. "But for padding, you'll have to use dry straw."
The orcs cheer, buzzing with enthusiasm, saying they never had such comfy beds before. They follow Tyss eagerly to get the materials as I stand back and watch, a smile creeping across my face.
"This is awesome," I murmur. "And I haven't even told you the best part of this building yet."
The mamonos closest to me look at me, curious. I quickly explain the bonuses the barracks provide.
They are all slightly surprised by the bonuses, except Artoria, who looks thoughtful. She crosses her arms, watching the orcs settle into the new barracks.
"The bonuses are excellent, my Lord," she says, voice steady. "But they're useless if we don't use them properly."
"What do you mean, Artoria?" I question with a frown.
She turns to face me, blue eyes blazing with purpose.
"My Lord, you're probably going to search for a plant-type mamono soon, right?" she asks, more statement than question. "And as much as it pains to admit, I think it's more important for me to stay behind and train the orcs. They need to become a disciplined, united force."
Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. I just reunited with her and now…
"You're sure about that, Artoria?"
She nods solemnly.
"I'm sure, my Lord. Unlike Lindana, Valthora is a reliable frontline warrior who can fight beside you in my place. She's strong, resilient… and most importantly not insane."
Lindana growls, her red eyes glowing with irritation.
"Stupid tin can," she mutters with venom. "I bet your cunt is rusted."
Valthora, on the other hand, blushes slightly and gives a small, humble smile.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, Artoria," she whispers.
Artoria ignores Lindana's jab, staying focused on me.
"My Lord, the orcs are powerful, but disorganized. With this building's bonuses and my guidance, they'll become a real force to be reckoned with."
I take a moment to process her words.
'If I'd had twenty trained orcs when we took the village, I wouldn't have had to go through that forced orgy,' I think grimly. 'Sure, I came out ahead and gained some levels… but the next time might not end so well.'
"I understand, and I trust you, Artoria. I know you'll train them well."
Artoria bows her head in a graceful show of respect.
"Thank you, my Lord. I won't let you down."
Just then, Tyss approaches, eyes glinting with mischief and curiosity.
"Since you're looking for a plant-type mamono," she says, "I actually know the perfect place to find one."
My heart skips a beat with anticipation.
"Where?" I ask eagerly.
Tyss shakes her head with a sly grin.
"Oh no, not so fast, handsome. You know nothing in this world comes free."
I swallow hard, my mouth suddenly dries.
"What do you want, Tyss?"
She pulls Kyss closer. Kyss blushes but doesn't resist and says:
"We both want to join your harem."
I blink, stunned, then narrow my eyes suspiciously.
"Why now?"
Tyss shrugs, still grinning.
"Well, you're about to do something big here, aren't you? My nose smells profit. And as for Kyss… she just misses you."
Kyss turns her head away and crosses her arms, but the pink on her cheeks betrays her.
"Fine, Tyss. You're both in my harem. Now where's the plant mamono?"
Tyss beams, clearly pleased.
"Wait here," the goblin says with a victorious smile. "I'll draw you a map."
