Chapter 16 - Rewardapalooza

Seth was ready for many possible rewards. But the 5 he was presented were not ones he was ready for... Okay he expected 3 of them but the last two were not ones he was ready AT ALL for.

1. Xianxi body tempering pill (level 2)

2. Phoenix soul tempering pill (Level 2)

3. Passive skill evolution upgrade (Players choice)

4. Multidimensional Female character summoning ticket (Good for one female summoning of a character from any one movie, anime, or game universe)

5. Party creation ability, invite others from the real world into the dream realm with you!

Seth was flabbergasted to be sure. He wasn't sure how to take those last two rewards, except that the possibilities were endless. He could make a party! He could summon a waifu from his dream anime worlds!

He could... then he stopped to think.

The party creation would be good. But only once he got more strength to help grow and raise the stats of his party. Right now it would be a hindrance to his growth. And a danger to them, if he brought in people like Blossom or Mr. Ryu, he would be so focused on their growth and safety that he would not grow as fast in these hunts. He needed to consider their safety over their potential help to pushing his limits. He knew it was tempting, but he would need to grow more first and then invite people in.

With a sigh of knowing the right move he chose options 1-4. 5 would be a later choice for now.

But he used the stat boosting items and rewards immediately as his stats grew to reflect his dungeon clearing growth. He was excited as the stats grew, and grew, and continued to grow, until his eyes go so wide they nearly pop out of his head and his mouth is slack as his body goes through a rapid growth.

He was especially glad at seeing a support skill evolve as he hoped it would with the evolution reward.

That evolution would come in handy for how much he will need to push himself to get even .01 with normal training methods. At this point Seth is mentally preparing himself to be a one man cleaning crew for those acres full of rocks and trees.

He then eyes the ticket and pumps mana into it. It activates and says, Player can choose any world from Movies, Games, or Anime and choose one female character from said world. However only options of girls who are equal to or below the players stats will be displayed from each world. So be ready to have limited choices until player is past 500 in all stats.

Seth sweat drops at this as he goes, "Oif. Got it so better tamper my expectations to lower powered people I can choose. Better go with an anime world. I feel like they would provide people who would be more open to harem mentality... especially since a solid 30% of them have a harem ending for the MC. Open Anime world options!"

Seth sees over 10,000 names appear in different lists all around him. he is literally blinded by the sheer amount of lists with over 200 names on each panel. Seth nearly goes blind form seeing nothing but panels in front of him, with all of them glowing brightly eager for him to choose from each one.

Seth sighs as he thinks about how to thin this out and go, "Alright! Thin it out to only anime and manga I know!"

400 names remain on a pair of panels. Seth sweat drops as he asks himself, "How much damn anime did I watch/read in my childhood?"

He then asks the system, "Lower it down to my top ten please."

Soon he has a list of his top ten. He really should have expected it, but he was glad the system understood him that well. He was sad he only had one ticket, if he had three he would have grabbed a girl from each possible world section. A movie girl like from Big Hero 6, so many animated movies, or even action films like mortal kombat. And video games like Final fantasy, Fire Emblem, For Honor, Tekken, dragon quest... all of them have amazing characters honestly. Maybe next time.

Oh well he at least had his top ten worlds to enjoy going through.

1. Dragonball Z

2. Naruto

3. Danmachi

4. Dungeon Harem

5. Solo Leveling

6. Overlord

7. Shield Hero

8. Bleach

9. My Hero Academia

10. Goblin Slayer

Looking through them and thinking on who could join a party later, while also being open to a harem lifestyle. He knew he needed to look at those who were kind, open minded, and able to adjust to changes. He decided to focus on only a few worlds and opened up three in particular.

Dragonball Z, Naruto, and Dungeon Harem.

He looks through the list of girls who were as strong as himself or weaker than him. After all if they were weaker, he could train them up no problem. He looks over the list and grins at the choices.

Hinata (Naruto)

Tenten (Naruto)

Ino (Naruto)

Hana Inuzuka (Naruto)

Anko (Naruto)

Temari (Naruto)

Chichi (Dragonball)

Bulma (Dragonball)

Roxanne (Dungeon Harem)

Sherry (Dungeon Harem)

Seth was stuck now. He wanted most of these girls. He decided on who to exclude first versus who to get first.

Bulma was out, she was hard headed, inflexible when things don't go her way, and abrasive. A good mother but not someone who would work well in a harem.

Tenten, Temari, and Ino were all tempting, but ultimately not the best choices. They all had their own views and would probably want monogamous relationships.

The rest though, Hinata was a good motherly figure, and open minded enough to work with others to raise a large family.

Hana Inuzuka was from a large family and followed the mentality of canines thanks to her families husbandry with wolves and dogs. So she was a good choice as well.

Anko was a sadist, but also one who protects and cares for her comrades. She would fit in well given her kinkiness at the situation and willingness to protect her family and comrades.

Chichi was a good choice as well, respectable, responsible, a good mother when it came to discipline and keeping the family protected. She was also a powerful martial artist so she had some good abilities to keep in mind.

Roxanne had sword abilities, cooking skills, and the willingness to adjust to situations thanks to her training as a slave. She would be free over here, but she would be an amazing addition to the family.

Sherry was similar, a good craftswoman, someone dependable, strong, and friendly, she would mesh well with many of the others when it came to family needs.

Seth was now rubbing his face as he was stuck on who to choose. Such a nice list of candidates to have for a budding relationship.

But he was also stuck on the fact that he would need to open Blossom up to the possibility of being in a harem on their date. After all his parents didn't raise a liar or an ego driven man out for pleasure. He wanted an honest large family with many loving wives and children to raise with them. he was going to make sure they all understood that and knew they would be loved and cared fro equally.

Now comes the decision. Does he summon now and literally bring the news to Blossom with a strange girl in his house this weekend? Or does he check with Blossom and ease her into the idea then use the ticket at a later time?
