The dragon's harem

BANG! The guild door busted open, and Ginger flew in with everyone, "Nina, get me a decent alchemist!" She shouted.

As the adventurers looked toward her, Aella walked in carrying Arad and Jack behind her, glaring back at the adventurers.

"What happened?" Nina rushed out, "Rabiesed werewolves, he got bitten," Ginger replied, and Nina stared back, "Send a message immediately."

All the receptionists scrambled to work, "How did it happen?" Nina asked with a worried face.

"Probably got himself where he shouldn't," An adventurer said in the back. Ginger glared at him, with her eyes glowing red. He pissed himself in fear.

Jack looked at the adventurers, "Yeah, he shouldn't have done it." He smiled, "He wrestled two werewolves barehanded and killed them while helping Alcott."

The adventurers stared at Jack with doubt in their eyes, "That can't be real,"

"Say what you want. It was a fight to behold. I have never seen werewolves so terrified of a human before," Jack lifted his hands, "His fire, with each of his punches, the monster growled in pain from the searing heat,"

For a moment, the adventurers imagined Arad with his whole body on flame, trading punches with a werewolf.

Amber, who was in the back, approached them, "So he mastered the fire fist and kick? I never imagined him to grow this fast." She smiled, looking at Arad and Aella.

"I do believe it. Arad has the power for that," Amber said with a smile, and with her words, the adventurers started to believe it.

Nigel approached them, "I did see him fight goblins before. He's the kind of person to punch if he needs to." He smiled, "Do you need any help?"

Tristana followed Nigel with a smile, "I can see it as well. He did something similar with the goblins, charging ahead like an idiot."

"I will cast a healing spell on him. It might help," Lisa ran toward Arad and lifted her holy symbol, [Heal]

"Hey, Jack!" Chester waved his hand with a smile, "How is it going?"

"Pretty bad, as you see, got a hot-blooded leader." Jack smiled, shaking Chester's hand, "Can you help me find some rare stuff?" Jack asked.

"Like what?" Chest tilted his head, "Ginger will tell you. She probably knows me more than me on the matter."

Chester smiled, "I can guess it has something with Lycanthropy. Finding a cure?"

Ginger looked at him, "I will write a list of what I need. Can you get them?" She looked at them, and Jack smiled.

"You're talking with two rogues," Jack looked at her, "We have more than one way to get anything," Chester grinned.

Nina stood, "Let's carry him to a room upstairs. He can rest there till the alchemist arrive." Aella carried Arad to his room, where she put him on the bed.

As Aella sat alone in the room with Arad.

[Expanding the void...locking the void.]

Aella noticed Arad's body twitching, a faint gust of mana streaming from him. "Ginger! Come check him!" She shouted.

Ginger rushed into the room, touching Arad's forehead, "This is weird. I can barely sense my blood inside him, the same for the lycanthropy curse."

"Is that bad?" Aella asked with a worried face, her eyes quivering.

"I don't know." Ginger replied with a sore face, "I've never seen a dragon catch lycanthropy."

As they talked, Arad opened his eyes and sat up. "ARAD!" Aella shouted, leaping at him.

^Mom?^

[I don't have much time. The curses are progressing.] Mom replied with a shaking voice.

^What is happening?^

[I sealed the curses by encasing them in the void. It will simply take them longer to affect you.] She said, her voice cracking, [You can unleash them whenever you want, but you will lose your mind permanently. Find a cure, and you can control them,]

^What are you talking about?^

[Don't evolve into a young dragon before curing them. I will return when at least one is cleared. And tell Ginger that her protection measure backfired.] Mom's voice disappeared as she left a bit of knowledge in Arad's head.

Arad glared at Aella and Ginger, "I'm half fine." Arad said, scratching his head, "Your curse only made it worse, just so know." He stared at Ginger with a sharp glare.

"What do you mean? The curses are supposed to repel each other." Ginger exclaimed.

"Not in my body, To keep both from progressing, I had to lose half of my power, thanks." He stood up, wanting to scream.

^Mom?^

She didn't reply. Arad was all alone now. "How do I find a cure for any of the curses?" He glared at them.

"You need to deal with Rabies first. An alchemist will arrive shortly. A few potions will clean it." Ginger said with an exhausted face. Healing Rabies with magical potions is easy as long as they act fast on the first day of infection.

Aella looked at her, "It's been an hour. How long will it take them to arrive?"

"They should be here soon. It takes time to get the medicine ready." Ginger replied, standing.

Arad sat on the bed, "I don't care about Rabies, how to get rid of the curses."

"For that, I need to explain lycanthropy first." Ginger started explaining.

Lycanthropy is a curse that starts like a disease. You get infected by a lycanthrope and get sick for a few hours. Then you return to normal.

The problem is that you can only cure it in the first three days when you're sick because afterward, it becomes a hassle.

There are two ways to cure the curse in the first three days. One is by consuming a specific plant, and the other is by magic.

For werewolves, it's wolfbane. The flower is poisonous and knocks you out for two days. But it has a 25% chance of lifting the curse. You can only attempt this once.

The second method is magic. The 5-tier spell [Remove curse] is expensive, around two twenty gold coins per cast, but it has a 90% of lifting the curse. You can try it as many times as you can. It's the go-to method high-level adventurer use.

​ After the three days mark, the curse takes root in you and lifting it becomes a pain.

You first need to find the progenitor and kill him. The second step is preparing a ritual at the full moon. You only have one chance.

"There is no need to go into details about the ritual now. Just know that we need to cure you in three days." Ginger sighed, "But this is for humans. I don't know about your kind, as I have never seen such a case."

Arad stood, "So we need to find wolfbane?"

Ginger glared at him, "Are you stupid? We're going with the healer."

"That's too expensive," Arad replied with a passive face.

"I will pay. The problem is finding a healer who knows the spell." Ginger scratched her chin, "All the people I know about are months away. The guild might be able to hook us up."

Arad glared at her, "There is a dungeon with werewolves close. How is there no healer with [Remove curse]?"

Ginger replied with a worried face, "Well, there is this 1-tier spell called [Prevent curse], All adventurers take it before going into the dungeon, and it protects them."

Arad sat, grabbing his head, "Damn it!"
