Taming my Monster Girl Harem from Scratch



"Done, I confirmed that it was a success on my side. How about yours?"

Fatima quickly asked with a serious face.

"It said that I gained Administrator Privileges. I think it's a success too."

After hearing my words, she finally sighed in relief. Her face slowly relaxed as a smile soon found its place on her expression.

"Sorry about that... When I thought of the possibility that no other Administrators are left, I honestly panicked."

She smiled bitterly. However, when I remember how God Zeshion stripped Aster of his taming system, I thought that maybe he had an activated system. However, Fatima quickly denied it.

"Stripping of the basic taming system can be done by anyone, as long as it was in accordance with the rules of the system."

So that's how it was. It means that it wasn't God Zeshion that stripped Aster of the system, but the system itself. When I thought of the possibility of the "System" having an ego, I shivered in fear.

'Ever since I regained my memory, I took the taming system for granted. In the future, I must consider what the system really is.'

As a person with memories from the modern world, I could explain most of the phenomena around me. However, regarding this taming system, I got no idea how it works. If I have the opportunity, I would surely try and find out the truth behind it.

After Fatima activated my system and passed more information to me, painlessly this time, we quickly proceeded with the modification of the orb.

"Then, I'll begin."

I nervously claimed before gulping down a mouthful of saliva.

I slowly inserted my hand inside the orb once more. This time, I used my fingers to manipulate the energy inside the orb and customize their positions and shapes, effectively modifying the function of the core.

Fatima was surprised by my skills as she was excitedly watching close to the orb. However, rather than skill, it was simply easier for me since I can actually see the energy bodies.

"This is... Like this... Then..."

I muttered as I focused on my task.

After our discussion, Fatima suggested that we make a trap for the Void Beast using the core. We will use it to make the energy inside the monster rampage and cause internal damage.

Although I knew the idea and even knew how to execute it from Fatima's knowledge, I understood not a single bit of it. Fortunately, my understanding didn't really matter as I just need to follow the blueprints inside my head to the T.

When I finished working, my stomach was rumbling like crazy. It seems that I was focused on doing my task for several hours straight, completely losing track of time.

"Good work, master."

As I lay on my back, dead tired and hungry, I saw Ember smiling at me from the entrance of the cave. Without me noticing, it seems that both Ember and Fang were led here by Fatima and watched me work the hours away.

"I'm too tired... And too hungry..."

Remembering that we haven't had dinner last night, not to mention breakfast, it was obvious that we were all getting hungry. I listlessly took out some portable and ready-to-eat food from the storage ring before passing a set to everyone.

Although it was unsightly, I kept lying down while taking a bite of the food. I was too lazy to even move and sit up. The food we ate was something similar to an energy bar. It was full of nutrients, proteins, and carbohydrates enough to keep one's body both healthy and full.

For some reason, however, despite eating three pieces of it, equivalent to three meals, my hunger didn't fade. Instead, I feel hungrier the more I eat.

'What's going on?'

I pondered but honestly had no idea. When I forced myself to raise my head and look, I was shocked. My body had little to no energy left inside. It seems like I was running on fumes before I finished modifying the orb.

Energy takes time to recover, so I have no choice but to ignore this insatiable hunger until I regained my lost energy. However, to think that Energy Manipulation alone consumes large amounts of energy... I need to be careful when doing it in the future.

[System Message: User detected to have a dangerously low amount of energy left and is recuperating. Initiating recovery measures... Failed. The feature is locked. Using other methods... Success. Initiating Heavenly System's Halo.]

Without my input, the system suddenly started doing things on its own. I was surprised when I heard its voice, but was more surprised when my body started releasing a bright golden light. Ember and Fang were forced to cover their eyes as it was too bright.

The state remained for a few seconds before fading away. After it faded, I felt that the energy in my body had recovered fully.

"That's the halo of the system. It has the ability to fully recover the user's body once every 24 hours. It can only activate automatically so don't worry about using it."

Fatima explained after seeing how confused I looked.

"How convenient... So it actually had such functions."

Fang muttered as she watched by the side. I, on the other hand, wondered where the system got the energy it used to recover mine. It was a mystery.

"Thanks to Will's efforts, we now have a foolproof plan against the Void Beast. Now, we only need to bide for time..."

Fatima convinced herself as she stared at the floating orb in the middle of the room. From its black color, now, it has faint golden and blue colors mixed in a complex pattern.

Although she was now saved from despair, there was still a faint trace of sadness in her expression. However, at that time, I still had no idea what her sadness represents.

In our estimate, it would take 10 days before the Void Beast succumbs to the trap. We could only hone our skills as we wait for the fated day.
