My Servant System



Back at the beach, we plopped onto the sand once again and took some deep breaths, letting the adrenaline in our bodies slowly seep away as we evened our breathing and lowered our heart rates, all while sweat made our cloth undershirts and pants cling to our bodies.

Leaning over, I tapped each of my lovers and cleansed them of their dirt, grime, blood and sweat, making them smile wearily at me as we allowed our bodies to rest for a brief moment, simply basking in the comfortable weather and nice sun.

The Marquess, Nirinia, and Cali were already lounging on the beach as well, chatting together like old friends as they continued their talk about sex and pleasure, only to fall silent and turn towards us as we sat down, the three already curious about what we had come across and why we were back.

"What did you think?"

Jahi pursed her lips as she leaned back, her blue skin shimmering beneath the suns gentle rays as she looked over the ocean, before turning to grin at her Mom as she answered "It was a lot of fun! The hordes of chaff and smattering of higher level enemies that held some challenge was great, giving the opportunity to hone various techniques of different calibers. Crowd control, mass damage, singular target damage, high speed and high power for burst attacks... Everything you could want to try, you could against one of those enemies!"

Anput nodded, grinning as well as she added "It was also so~ much fun to just cut down a horde of Goblins and Skeletons to your hearts content, all while the occasional tough enemy would come around to give you a challenge! It's just a shame that none of the monsters drop any materials; otherwise, this place would be perfect!"

The Marquess nodded at that, shrugging her shoulders as she said "That would make it perfect, but I assume that the cost of reproducing so many monsters and undead all the time means that everything gets recycled by whatever this island is, so nothing could be harvested from the monsters or undead because of that. What about you two?"

She turned towards Leone and I, making the two of us purse our lips as we exchanged a glance.

"I... could go either way; this is a good training ground, but it's far too easy to get lost in the thrill of battle and not realize that you can be overwhelmed and killed. Of course, that's why it's such a good place to train, but that's also why I'd rather not be here for too long, despite its benefits. It's... too much like a drug; it gives a short term rush that can lead to long term consequences..."

Leone nodded, her eyes flickering towards the other two as she added "Personally I would rather leave before night falls, but I can understand staying here one more day to hone things... the problem is whether or not the enemies have already begun to adapt to us as the Marquess has said they would, and how severe those adaptations are. What exactly is the process by which they adapt? Or how does one leave the island after plucking out the heart?"

"The monsters and undead adapt quickly; already they should be more resistant to however you killed them and aware of some of the techniques that you might have used, making them a tad harder to kill this time around. It shouldn't be by a lot though; for instance, if your swords pierced their flesh like paper before, it should be like trying to cut through butter with a warm blade... if that makes sense?

As for the method to leave, it's simple; pluck the heart and haul ass back to the beach, before leaping through the Gate to leave. You have roughly ten minutes to return before the island begins to enter a catastrophic state, with fissures and magma pouring out from the crust and wiping everything clean, while the ocean becomes rampant. From what my father said, someone stayed here for twenty minutes before being forced to leave, because the Gate began to close shut at that point. So be quick after taking the heart, otherwise you die."

We all nodded, and I glanced out towards the ocean as I wondered just what this island was and where in the world it was located, before shrugging as Nirinia had Jahi join her to go fish, while Anput and Leone scrounged up some foodstuffs from the surrounding forest, leaving me to prepare everything for when the two groups returned, our fire and utensils from yesterday still here.

While they did that, I took a deep breath and asked the System to unlock the experience points, letting me see everything that I earned...

[Calculating...]

[2,736,982 Xp awarded]

[Summary available, would you like to read it?]

Staring at the number for a moment, I nodded slightly and pulled up the summary, blinking in surprise at the next set of numbers that showed up, especially some of the entries in that summary...

[Sisyphea Skeleton x101 killed : 677,890 Xp]

[Sisyphea Skeleton x132 assisted kills : 183,548 Xp]

[Sisyphea Goblin x89 killed : 609,298 Xp]

[Sisyphea Goblin x156 assisted kills : 226,906 Xp]

[Sisyphea Serpent x2 killed : 67,340 Xp]

[Sisyphea Bullkin Skeleton killed : 27,658 Xp]

[Sisyphea Spartoi x3 killed : 187,534 Xp]

The list went on and on, but...

That was TWO entire levels that I just earned in a single engagement, bringing me up to Level 33 in just a few hours...

And that wasn't including the multitude of missions that I had completed during that time, all of which involved assisting and aiding my Mistress' with my support spells, netting me another 360,000 Xp and 3,600 Shop Points on top of that...

So in just a few hours, I gained 3,000,000 Xp, and there was still another engagement to go.

Another.

Engagement.

Harder than that?

Which means it's more lucrative than that...

More lucrative than 3,000,000 Xp..?

Is... that possible?
