"Is it done yet?" Aiden asked, panting.

[Final computation is in progress, Host.]

"Hm. Be quick about it."

Three hours had passed, but he was still stuck on the B2 floor. Mila had long since abandoned her persona and turned back to Milarel. As for the other girls, all of them were taken outside for interrogation.

In the basement filled with a musky smell, only Aiden, Milarel, and Joan remained. The former heroine’s mouth was constantly drooling, and she had long since lost her mind to lots of ’handholding’.

The foolish heroine had been a willing participant, especially after Aiden unlocked her chains. She thought as long as she wasn’t bound, she could make him climax inside of her. Even one drop would be enough.

So, she kept trying and failed miserably. Not only did she fail, but she also completely got addicted to the feeling. The last few times, she forgot about why she began humping his bones in the first place.

Even Aiden and Mila were confused by her sudden change of heart. At first, Aiden thought she was playing, but the notifications he received from the system cleared any doubts he had.

"Who would have thought her affection would increase by this of all things?" Aiden shook his head, buying a bottle of water from the shop.

He sat on the ground, watching Joan sleep in the puddle of their fluid. After finishing the water, he got up and carried Joan to the stone slab that doubled as a bed in the cells.

"My Lord," Milarel mumbled, massaging his shoulders. "Should I?"

"You’re doing it already, aren’t you? " Aiden smiled, reaching over his shoulder to pat her cheek. "Thank you. My body was getting a bit tense from the workout."

"Thank you for your hard work," Milarel replied as her fingers began to shine, draining all of Aiden’s tiredness from him.

He didn’t say anything, just leaned back into her arms, his head resting on her lap. Milarel’s fingers worked their magic, and just as he was about to drift into sleep, the system squeaked in his ears.

[I did it, Host! I stole that bitch’s blessing!]

"You mean you reverse-engineered it? " Aiden mumbled, his eyes still closed.

Since Joan was chosen by the system gods, she was technically a sibling to the system. Perhaps that’s why the system was calling Joan names to disassociate with her, just in case Aiden decides to band them together.

[Ahem, it’s the same thing.]

"So, what is it?"

[Muhehehe, you wouldn’t believe it!]

"Want me to drag it off your corpse?"

[...it’s a breeding system, host.]

Aiden shot back up upon hearing her words.

"They gave her a what!?"

[Ahem, a breeding system host. That’s why she was so eager to have your seed. She probably hoped the blessing would be strong if someone like you impregnated her.]

Aiden still couldn’t believe the remaining system gods were so desperate to regain their lost glory that they began creating such absurd blessings.

Even then, wasn’t such a skill wasted on a woman? One blessing every nine months didn’t seem so bad in theory, but in an apocalyptic world where people were struggling to survive, pregnancy was too dangerous.

Unless... Just as I thought.

After reading the details, he understood why it wasn’t such a big deal after all.

Imagine cutting a nine-month gestation period down to one month. What are those seven goddesses smoking these days?

[Host, a new skill is ready for acclimatization. Would you like to learn that skill?]

"Bitch, you want me to get pregnant?"

[...of course not, host. I have altered the skill to your preferences. Here, take a look.]

+++

Name: Genesis

Type: Blessing

Rank: EX

Description: A forbidden sovereign ability that allows the Host to spread his bloodline and gain power through descendants and bonded mates.

Effects:

• Plowing Sovereign: The Host possesses high fertility and is immune to genetic incompatibility. Pregnancy can occur even under normally impossible conditions. No used seed of the sovereign will leave a barren land behind.

• Accelerated Gestation: The normal gestation period is reduced to 1 month. Mothers suffer a drastically reduced pregnancy burden and recover within three days after delivery. The mothers even get stronger from conceiving and carrying Host’s children.

• Bloodline Blessing: Whenever a compatible female becomes pregnant with the Host’s child, the Host gains a random gift based on the woman and/or their offspring’s traits, race, talent, or abilities.

• Legacy That Lives Forever: The more descendants the Host has, the stronger his bloodline becomes. The Host and partners gains 10% of the offspring’s maximum lifespan.

"...what the hell is this skill? Did you use all your mind power creating this?"

[...a simple thank you would have sufficed, Host.]

Aiden immediately shook his head. For once, he was truly grateful to the system. Although he hadn’t mentioned it once, he had been worried about a human’s short lifespan.

After having lived as a demon, how could he get used to the pathetic, short lives humans lived? However, he was slowly coming to terms with it, but the system threw a curveball at him.

She solved the problem with his mortality!

He could live as long as he kept having children! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He didn’t know whether the skill Joan had also came with the same benefits. If it did, then he would have to thank Joan’s man-hating nature.

If not for that, and had slept around with those butchers instead of turning them into eunuchs. If that had happened, coupled with her secret method of creating evolvers, Aiden would have actually been in trouble.

[Host? Should I integrate the skill—]

"Integrate. Integrate it immediately."

[Confirmed. Congratulations on receiving a new blessing, Host!]

"You know what?" Aiden said, scratching his chin. "You have made me truly happy. So, ask whatever you want. As long as it is within my capabilities, I’ll do it for you."

[...host?]

"I’m being serious. You have ten seconds to make a request."

[...can you get me into a body, like you did for Carmila?]
