’Hey, wake up.’
’...’
Hey, wake up, dammit!’
’.... Huh?’
’No "Huh?"? Damn, what did you do now?’
’ah?...what’s going on?’
I was starting to regain consciousness due to annoying and insistent voices. I didn’t understand what was happening that was happening. But little by little, clarity was invading my mind, and I recognized the voice as the others my parallel thoughts.
At the same time, I felt an itching and stabbing pain throughout my body, I didn’t understand what was going on, but resuming more and more clarity and as my thoughts aligned with the memories I shared with my other selves, to understand their point.
"Fuck! What the hell did I do!!!? (°Д°!!!)"
That’s when Finally the memories made me snap out of it in an instant I remembered everything that happened the night before.
’So you finally react. Now you really fucked up big time, you bastard.’
’Hey, why are you talking like it’s someone else’s business, did you forget that we’re all the same?’
’What are you talking about? From today on I’m rebelling. I don’t want to be a bastard who lets himself be controlled by his dick and ends up dying a second time because of his lower half’.
’Me too.’
Those two started the day by talking nonsense, but they weren’t wrong.
’Hum... You know what? Me too.’
’Hey! You’re the main one.’
’And if you guys revolt, so am I. I don’t want to be here or die again because of my lower part.’
’....’ (x2)
’haaa~.whatever, Let’s stop the jokes. there’s no use lamenting, plus why didn’t you guys stop me?’
’And risk you being in the middle of a run? You know I’m in the middle of a orgasm. I’d be seen as a madwoman who gets off on war.’
’I was busy making contingency preparations. I only noticed something was wrong when you passed out.’
’Hmmm... I understand....Well, in the end, it’s true that I got carried away with excitement, but we also played our part in satisfying the lady of the city, gaining her favor and securing the freedom to move around the mansion a bit, didn’t we?’
’Yes, it would be if it weren’t for the fact that we did more than humiliate her after a certain point. Fuck, the only good thing is that you didn’t use Eira’s ’double Shenlong’ idea. ’
’Well, you have to be careful with visualization and keep biological functioning in mind. I can’t put it into practice yet, like that ’Bad Dragon’ which is just changing the shape of the muscles.’
’No, not let’s digress. Now there’s a 50/50 chance that it will kill us.’
’But if I remember correctly, at the end when he passed out there was a satisfied smile on his face, wasn’t there?’
’Yes, on the face that, for some reason, you decided to smear and cover with a ’quick charge’, just because.’
’stop!! judging me already!!!!. Literally, you guys would have done the same thing!.... Haah~ let’s stop this pointless conversation, you guys mind your own business. I’ll take care of whatever’s going on here.’
’Fine.’ (x2)
"haaah~..."
I was certainly in a dangerous situation for getting carried away, but I still had a chance to pull through. Of course, that meant saying goodbye to my platinum ticket, and wasting all the resources I had spent on this trip.
It was Thursday morning, as I saw it in my parallel thoughts memories. I started at noon and we finished at almost midnight: 12 intense hours without a break.
I was amazed at what I am capable of thanks to the Art of Lust, which strengthens and sustains me as long as I have desire, although at first I thought that with those statistics Akihara would last much longer and even surpass me, honestly she lasted less than I thought.
I had managed to subdue someone from a whole realm higher than mine and I obtained many benefits. Before I met her. I knew the lady of the city had at least seven metamorphoses.
And from the beginning I had intended to use the opportunity to strengthen myself and had activated the ’dual synchronization’ but only for my benefit.
That she was at the fourth rank of Soul Conversion ensured that my gains were not small.
I knew this from the burning and itching in my body that was especially bothersome this time, but I still decided to check my condition.

I concentrated on the parts of my status that interested me.
The numbered stats are a quantified indicator of the maximum the body can currently reach and depend entirely on the person’s ability to use them correctly.
So not always having a lot of stats translates to pure power. I have always kept that in mind and try to use my stats, to their maximum performance.
I was already close to the fifth metamorphosis to begin with. Now, with the dual sync and everything I did with Akihara yesterday, my stats reached the limit of my current body.
If I do nothing, my stats won’t go over 200, but unfortunately I’m not in a good place to do that. And without fully knowing my current situation, I can’t afford to be vulnerable.
So I’ll just have to put up with this itch and the dull ache I feel all over my body. At least it’s not so much to drive me crazy, it’s just annoying.
The other thing I realized is that I immediately got one of Akihara’s four skills.
You could say it’s luck, but I also feel like there’s something more to it, maybe because of her strength or some other factor I don’t understand.
’Hey, Quetesh’
[[...]]
’Hey, answer me, dammit!’
[[...]]
’ isn’t your job supposed to be guiding the legacy bearers, dammit! You have to pay the rent for being inside my body.’
[[... Ah? wasn’t it that your alternative me knew everything about legacies? Why do you need me?]]
’...because you’re always so venomous, Don’t tell me you’re angry, because I know most things about legacies.’
[[...]]
’Really? Come on, it’s no big deal. It’s not like I know everything. You know very well that everything I know is secondhand, since he didn’t have any legacies himself. He didn’t even know you existed.’
[[I just don’t want to deal with you, You know.... In all the millennia I’ve been around, you are the most troubled and bizarre carrier I’ve ever had. You do so many impossible things like nothing. To the point where I don’t even want to think how the hell it’s possible]].
’ ....’
[[an aberration like you shouldn’t exist. And the fact that you’re from an isolated world, with this thing called the internet, doesn’t explain it]].
’Hey, aren’t you being too harsh?’
[[No, and I don’t want to keep talking. I’ll answer your question so you can stop bothering me. For starters, ’Dual Synchrony’ with respect to skill is not a random thing like you keep thinking]].
’Huh, isn’t it?’
[[No. The synchronization of skills depends, so to speak, on the compatibility of skills with each individual.]]
’ ...hummm, I still don’t understand what you mean. ’
[[look, for example, you and the girl blessed by Erebus. The reason why out of three skill synchronizations, the three that went towards you, was ’Affinity with Darkness ’, is because you’re naturally someone who has compatibility towards that skill]].
’Eh, really? Even though this body had affinity towards light and lightning from birth.’
[[After all, the soul and the body are one, and the skillexist in between. .....And well, what do you think gave you that inclination toward darkness?"]]
’ ....¯\_(ツ)_/¯’
[[stop playing dumb!.haah...The thing is, even if you don���t have the compatibility to possess an skill, ’Dual Synchrony’ builds it up bit by bit. Meaning, even if you don’t have, for example, compatibility with ’Forestry Assimilation ’, from that girl who’s Florael’s agent, you’re slowly building compatibility]].
’Oh, now I understand, that’s why I immediately got Akihara’s skill.’
[[Partly yes, but it’s also that the stronger the other party is than you, the more likely it is to happen, and even more so when you’re only using the synchronization for your own benefit]].
’well now I understand that...humm."
[[And before you ask me, legacy skill can indeed sync, but like I said, it’s for compatibility. And let me tell you, building one with those abilities will take a long time and may never be possible if her body can’t develop it]].
’it basically depends on my compatibility and the other party’s compatibility, how fast and how often does it happen? I basically have to get to a range of compatibility with one of their skills and they have to get to a range of compatibility with mine, right?’.
[[Yes, and that includes skills you already have, such as parallel thinking, since you have to have the compatibility that is needed for the higher rank.]]
’Okay, I understand. And about the authority of the spear to copy skills.’
[[up to here, no more questions. don’t bother me anymore.... he~...Besides, if I were you I’d worry about your girls, that you cherish so much]]
