New profession found.
Would you like to activate the Leveling-up Program? Y/N?
When I registered at the Merchants Guild that morning, this message popped up.
That function would allow me to select one of my professions to level up using the system's features, which meant I could level up much faster.
I already had a primary profession: Gigolo. And I could now add a secondary one. At the moment, the only one available was Merchant.
But since that profession only appeared after I registered with the guild, maybe the same thing would happen if I signed up with other guilds.
I didn't have any combat experience, so maybe it was better to leave a combat-related profession for my secondary slot in the system.
That's why I didn't respond right away when the message appeared while I was registering at the Merchant Guild.
But later, when I came back to the inn's tavern, I explored the system a bit more. I was especially curious about what was available in the shop.
That's when I saw an item that completely changed my mind.
I didn't like fighting. If I could avoid it, I absolutely would. So that item was perfect for me.
Available items:
…
[Warrior Harem – 100 credits]
…
The name was self-explanatory.
That item would let me add a new function to the system. I could use it to level up a combat-oriented profession, not mine, but of anyone in my harem.
All I had to do was earn experience points with my Sugar-Mommies, and then transfer those points to my Sugar-Warriors.
Okay, the system didn't exactly call them that, but I liked the term.
The best part? I could claim retroactive XP from the mommies I had already conquered, which meant I could start leveling up my Warriors immediately.
I didn't even hesitate, I bought the feature. It cost me all the credits I earned from that torture session with Amélia, but it would be worth it.
Since I could now level up warriors to protect me, I didn't need to level up myself.
So, I selected Merchant as my secondary profession.
Later, I'd also learn that I could buy additional profession slots in the shop, but that's a story for another time.
I was now a Bronze Rank 1 Merchant.
There was still a long road ahead.
Just for curiosity's sake, I was already a Gold Rank 4 Gigolo. Lilian was probably a Platinum Rank Courtesan, the highest level.
But that doesn't really matter right now.
Since Matthew never had a last name, I named the company S&B Company.
Yeah, I know, not the most creative name in the world, but hey, it works, right?
As soon as I added Merchant as my secondary profession, the system assimilated all the tips Amelia had given me that day and turned them into quests with specific goals to level up as a merchant.
Every time I managed to take something positive out of that day, my mental state recovered a little more.
But we'll talk about that another time.
Right now, what I was most interested in was the harem feature.
As soon as I activated it, Lilian was added as the first member. I also got to reclaim 750 XP I had earned with Amélia and the Captain.
All I had to do now was take Lilian to bed and transfer the XP to her. Something I planned to do as soon as I had the chance.
The combat profession Lilian had available for leveling up was Lust Witch.
A sorcery class that allowed her to use energy drawn from her sexual partners to cast dark magic. She was only Bronze Rank 3 in that profession, but I'd be more than happy to help her level it up.
Still, I couldn't exactly call it a harem yet, Lilian was the only member.
I needed to seduce a few warriors.
I briefly considered the Captain… but quickly dropped that idea.
I only reincarnated in this world because she killed the original Matthew with a leg lock.
So, yeah, even though the system allowed me to add my mommies to the harem, I'd rather stay far away from that woman.
Amélia was never an option either, obviously.
The one who would help me expand my harem was Lilian herself. She knew my tastes and had found a group of adventurers made up entirely of women.
She was bringing them to meet me here at the tavern.
I would hire them as escorts for the S&B Company, so adding them to the harem along the way would be easy.
When Lilian entered the tavern with them, I immediately knew that the mission to expand my harem would be extremely pleasurable.
They were all beautiful, each in their own way.
They were only Peak Bronze Rank, except for the leader, who was a Silver Rank 2. But that wasn't a problem.
The beginning of our journey would take us through a region where that level of power was more than enough. And once I added them to my harem, leveling them up would be easy.
The first to introduce herself was the leader, Leona, a Silver Rank 2 swordswoman. She wasn't human, she was a beastfolk from the Lion Clan.
She was a half-blood, since her only leonine traits were her ears and tail. She didn't have the fur, claws, or other common features of the beastfolk.
She was blonde, had short hair, was tall, and muscular. If it weren't for the two big melons and the wide hips that stood out clearly, she could easily be mistaken for a male.
Of course, only a distracted eye would confuse that beauty with a man.
The second to introduce herself was Felicia, a Bronze Rank 5 Rogue, also from the beastfolk, but not a half-blood. She had all the typical features of the Black Cat Clan.
She was also tall, with beautiful straight black hair tied in a ponytail. Unlike Leona, her body was slender, her curves seductive.
Her breasts were small, but still demanded attention. Her hips weren't that wide, but her waist was thin. Her legs were long.
The third to introduce herself was Luna, a Bronze Rank 4 spellcaster Archer. She also wasn't human, probably a half-elf or a low elf, she didn't specify, from the Moon Elf Clan.
She was the definition of a blonde bombshell, not very tall, but not short either. Her breasts weren't big, but also not small. In short, she was perfectly proportional.
By now, you're probably wondering, does no one have any creativity when naming people in this world? Leona, Felicia, and Luna?
Well, they probably had other names in their native tongues, but since those would be unpronounceable in the common human language, they likely adopted these names when they began living among us.
Lastly, the final one to introduce herself was the group's sorceress.
She was the only human, a Bronze Rank 4 Mage specialized in support and healing spells.
From her appearance, she was probably of noble origin, a third or fourth daughter of some low-ranking noble, who became an adventurer to escape an arranged marriage.
Her name was Rose, short and delicate, but with disproportionately large breasts. Those things bounced every which way just from her breathing.
Her shoulder-length brown hair and glasses reminded me of Velma.
Lilian had truly made an excellent choice. I was already excited to begin expanding my harem.
