System at One End and Harem at the Other End



David slowly opened his eyes, greeted by the warmth of the morning sunlight streaming through the window. As he stirred, he couldn't help but admire the sight of Sophia lying beside him, her naked form hidden beneath the blanket. 

Soon, Sophia woke up, her eyes meeting David's as a soft smile graced her lips. Without a word, she leaned in and pressed her lips against his, a gentle and tender kiss that conveyed her affection.

"Good morning, handsome," Sophia greeted him, her voice filled with warmth.

Returning the smile, David replied, "Good morning. You look beautiful when you wake up like this."

Sophia snuggled closer to him, finding comfort in his presence. "I'm glad you think so," she whispered softly.

Breaking the embrace, David's curiosity got the better of him. "So, when do you want to meet again?" he inquired, hoping to understand where they stood.

A thoughtful expression crossed Sophia's face as she pondered his question. "Whenever you're free, I guess," she replied, her words laced with a hint of uncertainty.

With a reassuring tone, David assured her, "I'm free pretty much all the time. You know that."

Sophia's response held a touch of hesitation. "Yeah, but I have a lot of college and other stuff going on, so I can't always promise anything."

Understanding her commitments, David nodded in agreement. "I understand. No pressure. We can just enjoy each other's company when we can."

Sophia visibly relaxed, grateful for his understanding. "That's exactly what I was thinking. I like being with you, but I can't commit to a relationship right now. I hope you understand."

David reassured her with a gentle smile. "Of course, I do. I'm not really looking for anything serious either."

Relief washed over Sophia's face. "Oh good. I'm glad we're on the same page."

With the weight of expectations lifted, David shifted his focus to the present moment. "So, what do you want to do today?" he asked, eager to continue their time together.

Sophia glanced at the clock, her eyes widening with a hint of urgency. "So, it's already time," she stated, her voice tinged with a touch of disappointment.

With a sense of purpose, she quickly began dressing herself and freshening up, preparing for the tasks that awaited her.

David, noticing her hastiness, understood the need for her to leave, "Okay, I will come with you and drop you off," he offered, wanting to support her and make her day a little easier.

A grateful smile illuminated Sophia's face as she looked at David. "Thank you," she said appreciatively, her voice filled with warmth and gratitude.

As Sophia stepped out of the apartment, David joined her, walking by her side.

In the divine pavilion, the Goddess of Sex sat at the center, her presence commanding attention. Surrounding her were four goddesses and five gods, each radiating their own unique aura.

The God of Wisdom spoke up, his voice filled with curiosity, "What gift shall we bestow upon the mortal who emerges victorious?"

The Goddess of Love smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with compassion, "Perhaps we can shower the winner with our blessings, granting them divine favor and guidance."

The God of Strength interjected, his voice resonating with power, "But what use will these powers hold for the mortal in the earthly realm?"

The Goddess of Sex, a mischievous gleam in her eyes, leaned forward with a knowing smirk, "Ah, my dear brethren, I have a rather peculiar and enticing gift in mind. It shall encompass all the blessings we bestow upon him."

The other goddesses exchanged intrigued glances, their lips curling into smirks. One of them chimed in playfully, "Oh, do tell us, dear Goddess of Sex. Don't keep us in suspense."

With a coy smile, the Goddess of Sex replied, "Not just yet, my sisters and brothers. Let us keep this gift a secret for now, allowing the anticipation to grow. It shall be a surprise worth the wait."

The divine gathering erupted into soft laughter, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

---------------------------------------

After bidding farewell to Sophia, David found himself with an unexpected free day ahead. With a sense of curiosity and anticipation, he turned his attention to his status screen, eager to explore the new changes that awaited him.

As he navigated through the various tabs, David's eyes fell upon the timer indicating the remaining time for his harem collection list. Only a mere 10-12 days remained before the relation points would begin to dwindle. He still had yet to meet Sarah, Emily, and Lily, the three potential members of his harem.

Realizing the urgency of the situation, David knew he had to act swiftly to maintain and strengthen his relationship points. He couldn't afford to procrastinate any longer. Time was of the essence, and he had to make sure he met and established a connection with each of them within this limited time frame.

Furthermore, David was aware that the main quest would commence within the next 10 days, although details of the quest had not been revealed yet. He understood the importance of being prepared and not letting his personal pursuits interfere with his progress in the larger scheme of things.

With determination in his heart, David made up his mind. He would seize the opportunity within this week to meet Sarah, Emily, and Lily, ensuring that he had ample time to devote to the impending main quest.

As David was contemplating regarding the main quest he had received, suddenly a system message appeared in front of his eyes.

----------------

[System Message]

Hint: Level up your Intermediate status to Advanced Level within the remaining time for better chances.

Although it didn't reveal any specific details about the upcoming quest he need to complete, the message emphasized the importance of upgrading his status for better chances of success.

Taking this hint to heart, David understood that he needed to focus on improving his abilities and accumulating experience.

Balancing his personal endeavors with the upcoming challenges would be the key to his success.
