"Your stats are the sum of all of ours now?" Nadia uttered in a weak voice, too shocked to use her proper tone.
She then inadvertently took a step back.
Nadia was the one who was with Mathew the longest out of all the girls. Her level and general power only lagged behind what Daria was capable in her shadow form during the night.
As such, she was the one who experienced the power that came from one's stats the most.
She couldn't know the exact stats of the other girls in the group. She didn't know Mathew's stats either. But what she knew, was that combining the power of everyone in the group and then pouring all that might into Mathew's flesh...
"I don't believe it," she muttered. "No, it's not possible," she then added while shaking her head.
"Do I look like some sort of a monster to you, now?" Mathew asked, turning his head around and giving his love a glance.
"Wait, no," Nadia nearly jumped when she saw Mathew's dark expression. "That's not what I meant at all!" she protested only to lower her head and rest her chin on her hand as she lowered her eyelids. "Wait, just out of curiosity, how much did your agility increase?"
Hearing Nadia's voice... Mathew froze for a second.
It wasn't the voice of a girl terrified of what her man turned into. It was a voice... that Mathew himself would use whenever trying to slowly build a logical foundation for a statement he wanted to prove.
"Ugh, let me recall it..." he muttered, taking a look at his status window.
'I can tell the current number, but to tell how much it increased...' he thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, his eyes widened a little.
Because the numbers on his status window... changed.
The usual form of having the name of the statistic and a number attached to it within a single bracket was still the same. Yet, rather than showcasing the updated number after the upgrade of his system... it continued to show exactly the same number as before.
The only difference was that it now had a separate bracket right by its side that showcased the stat level when combined with the strength of his girls!
"So that's how it is..." Mathew muttered, finally finding an answer to one of the questions that were baffling him since he started reading through the bonuses of the system upgrade.

"My agility went from sixty to a tiny bit over three hundred," he revealed, shaking his head before turning around to properly face the girls.
If anything, having something to think about was the best cure for the momentary depression that the recent events brought upon his soul.
And even though Nadia has yet to make the point of her discourse, Mathew could already see the general idea of what she wanted to prove.
"So your agility increased over five times," Nadia summed up, ignoring the need for precise numbers. "And yet, when you walked away, you didn't move that much faster than before!"
'Just like I thought,' Mathew thought, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
"You want to say that if I really were to go through such a sudden and explosive growth, I wouldn't be able to properly control my newfound strength?" Mathew suggested, reading into Nadia's elaboration.
"Strenght? I was talking about agility though?" Nadia replied, giving Mathew a cute smile as her eyes wandered down toward his crotch.
'Right, I'm standing all naked before them,' Mathew realized, hardly feeling any shame over that fact.
He would be burning away from embarrassment just a few days ago. But now?
After the girls thoroughly inspected and caressed every last inch of his body? What else had he to be ashamed of?
Still, there was one matter that Mathew had to deal with right away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Those eyes..." he muttered and then shook his head. "Dear, no, dears," he stated, raising his eyes. "I'm sorry, but I don't think I will be up to the task today," he announced.
"I understand," Leila joined in on the discussion. "I will go and grab everyone's clothes then," she then added, quickly turning around and walking out of the shower cell.
"Anyway," Nadia rolled her eyes as she brought them back to Mathew's face to look at him properly. "Despite what your system says, I don't think the increase to those stats of yours really applies to reality," she put out a statement.
"I don't think so too," Mathew replied, taking a step back to rest himself against the wall of the shower... Only to realize that he forgot about the existence of the faucet that dug into his back.
"Fuck," he cursed, nearly slipping on the floor as he escaped forward.
Mathew then shook his head and glossed over the momentary embarrassment.
"Still, my system has never lied to me before," he said, moving his eyes back to the girls in the shower room once he moved to the side and properly rested his back against the wall.
"Maybe you've missed something?" Daria suggested, leaning her head to the side while locking her arms over her chest.
Yet, rather than simply standing in a comfortable position, she pretty obviously attempted to hide her tits from Mathew's eyes, eager to obey his wish not to push into any sexual topics for the day.
"Missed something?" Mathew replied after the girl, taking a quick look at all the messages from the system he has yet to go through.
And as if reacting to his wish, one of them popped out to the forefront of his eyes... while still remaining hidden in the corner of his vision.
[You've reached the statistic limit for the 'husband' class (111). Do you wish to change your class?]
Mathew's eyes widened for a moment.
'Right, I can now change my class too,' he thought.
Yet, right as he was about to look into the details of doing so, a single thought passed through his head.
'But doesn't class change means.. that I will lose all the benefits of the system I've got so far?'
