Hunt II

Leon stretched his arms and legs as he woke up, then sat cross-legged and entered his Soul Space. Upon arrival, he found it to be simple yet serene, with a protective dome surrounding his space and a tranquil lake on its surface.

He walked toward the house being constructed within this space and entered it. The house was small but cozy. In the center of the room, Leon saw three figures seated on chairs.

Two of them were women, and one was a man.

The first woman was breathtakingly beautiful, with silky smooth sky-blue hair and matching eyes. She wore a white dress that accentuated her graceful features and had a warm smile as she looked at Leon.

The second woman was also stunning, with long, rainbow-colored hair and eyes that had the same starry pattern as Leon's. This indicated she was either a Fantasian or a progenitor of the Fantasian race.

The man was strikingly handsome, with white hair and golden-yellow eyes. His tanned skin and overall appearance reminded Leon of a character from a fate series.

Leon looked at them and asked, "You must be Rimuru?" He addressed the sky-blue-haired woman, who nodded in response.

He then turned to the man and said, "You must be Solomon." The man nodded and placed his hand on his chest, saying, "Indeed, Master."

Leon then looked at the woman with rainbow-colored hair and asked, "And you are...?"

The woman smiled as she stood up, adjusted the hem of her dress, and bowed. "My name is Elara, Master. I was blessed with Fantasy Manipulation by you," she said.

Leon responded, "I don't recall."

Elara explained, "It was Lady Rimuru who granted me the power, but since it originates from you, it feels as if it was given directly by you."

Rimuru added, "Yes, Master. Elara's abilities are a gift from you, even though I was the one to bestow them."

Leon shrugged, accepting that the system had its ways.

"So, I'm here to...?" he asked.

Elara replied, "Master, I will now give you back the power that originally belonged to you."

Leon inquired, "Will you be affected by this?"

Elara responded, "Not significantly, but I will lose my powers."

Leon then asked Rimuru, "Isn't there another way?"

Rimuru nodded. "Indeed, there is an alternative." She placed her index finger on Leon's forehead, and runes along with a surge of information flowed into his mind. Leon's eyes widened as he absorbed the information.

"Wait, are you sure you want to do this?" Leon asked Elara.

It became clear to Leon from the information that Rimuru was implying something significant. The skill, Asmodius: Lord of Lust, included a sub-skill called Harem Empowerment. This ability allowed him to use all the powers and abilities of his harem as if they were his own.

And to have them in his Harem he need to sleep with them.

"No, Master, it would be my pleasure to serve you," Elara said with a reassuring smile. She took Leon's hand and led him upstairs...after she came to his hotel in real life not just in his soul space.

Rimuru added, "Master, I will soundproof the room so you don't need to worry about any disturbances." Leon nodded in agreement, resigned to the situation.

After half a day, Leon returned to the hall in his soul space.

"She is resting," Leon said, looking at the others.

Rimuru nodded and asked, "Master, can you use it now?"

Leon nodded. As soon as he became one with her, he received a notification that many abilities, including Fantasia Manipulation, were now usable.

"Great, Master. Now you can also use Double Fantasy, right?" Rimuru inquired.

Leon nodded. Double Fantasy was indeed a cloning skill, allowing him to create a clone by separating a small wisp of his consciousness.

Leon then talked with her for some more moment as he came out, he only was able to learn some basic information, Rimuru didn't tell him much as she said, it wont be good for his future.

Leon nodded and exited the Soul Space.

Coming out , he looked upstairs and decided to cook some soup for her, Although she was an primogenitor but for his sake, she reduced her level to his level so she is now resting after a lots of exercise.

"Hehe, who would have guessed I'd even exhaust a primogenitor against me?" Leon thought as he prepared the soup.

[Master, actually, she was beneath your level. You're now a High Human, and without knowing it, she adjusted herself to a human level. I'm pretty sure she's regretting not being fully able to serve you,] Solomon chimed in, oblivious to the fact that Leon's expression was growing darker.

"Solomon, from now on, unless I'm in the middle of battle or any non-personal situation, don't read my thoughts," Leon said firmly.

[As you wish, Master,] Solomon replied.

Leon sighed in relief. This dense guy can't even let me enjoy my first moment with peace, Leon thought to himself.

Cooking the soup, Leon went upstairs, as he looked at Sleeping Elara, he placed the soup near the bed as he came out.

"Time to go for a hunt," Leon mumbled as he prepared to search for more beasts. He spent a week hunting, as boars were plentiful near the city. After selling the boars and buying more Elemental Awakening potions and some weapons, he decided it was time to head home.

Standing in his room under Elara's watchful gaze, Leon declared, "Double Fantasy."

Soon from him, Energy as well as small wisp of consciousness left his body and coagulated in front him forming an exact replica of him.

"you know what to do right?" Leon asked.

The clone nodded, as he looked at Elara and said to her " I will be leaving" 

Elara nodded as he bowed and said to Leon "take care master" 

Leon nodded and said to her " Create the portal to my room" 

She nodded and then Leon stepped inside and came back to his room.

"that was fast" Amelia said seeing Leon.

Leon shrugged and then called her and his aunt to hall.

Reaching there he looked at them and then asked "Would you two like to awaken too?" 

Aunt Lana bitterly smiled while Amelia nodded with resolve.

"you know I can't awaken only people upto the age of 30 can awaken and I am above the age grade" She said depressed smile.

"Of course I know by still I asked" Leon smiled and said.

"What do you mean you have a way to safely awaken her?" Amelia asked, her surprise evident. She knew it was considered impossible and that no such cases had ever been recorded.

Leon nodded, seeing the hopeful look in her eyes. After all, Aunt Lana had done many things for them, so it was only natural that Amelia wanted her to awaken as well.

"This will help her," Leon said, bringing out a potion.

It was a Reversal Age Potion, which could reverse one's age by 5 years. Although Leon had bought the cheapest version available, it still cost him over a million EC. Despite only reversing age by months rather than years, it changed to Years after Leon used Awaken on it.

"What does this do?" Aunt Lana asked, eyeing the potion with curiosity.

"It reverses one's age by 5 years," Leon explained, and both Amelia and Aunt Lana's eyes widened in disbelief.

"There's such a miraculous potion?" they exclaimed in unison.

"Yes, and I'd appreciate it if you two kept this under wraps," Leon said, his tone serious.

Both Amelia and Aunt Lana nodded in understanding. They knew that information about such a valuable potion could ignite serious conflict if it got out.

"Now go ahead and drink it," Leon instructed.

"Wait, now?" Lana asked, slightly hesitant.

"Yes, now. There's no point in waiting for an auspicious moment," Leon replied, rolling his eyes with a hint of impatience.

Aunt Lana nodded, then, without further ado, she uncorked the vial and chugged the entire potion. Despite its bitterness, she swallowed every last drop, fully aware of its significant cost and the potential benefits it held.
