Chapter 4: Second Harem

Take note that some of Chris' women had not been listed...

Christine continued to read:

"Stories #40 and onwards involve girls with "extra" races such as angels, dragons, goddesses, etc. It's no wonder since Chris was already successful with at least 39 women, all of them attractive.

Other girls/women Chris mated with, in alternate multiverses.. (One game for the reader is to count how many girls are in each race. How many goddesses, dragons, elves, etc)

These girls tell of alternate stories on how Chris was able to secure the relics in alternate timelines or multiverses.

Rules:

1. Overpowered relics (such as those granting wishes), primarily work in their own multiverse. In other multiverses, a less powerful ability may be manifested.

2. Shattered or banished relics often restore themselves after a while.

3. When Chris hides or abandons a relic, he usually returns to the site later, to take it, when no one is watching.
