"So, when are we having the threesome?" The lady asked, green eyes twinkling.
Melody choked on air, her eyes widening in shock. Of all the things sheād expected the newcomer to say, this hadnāt been it.
As for Lukas, while taken aback, a wide grin appeared on his face. It was clear the woman was teasing them, and there was no rule that said he couldnāt tease her back.
He made a show of looking around the clearing, then turned to her, wagging his eyebrows suggestively. "How about here? Whatās better than a wild threesome among nature?"
Melodyās blush grew even deeper, and her wide eyes turned to Lukas, just as shocked at his reply.
But the new lady simply chuckled, grinning at him. "I like this one."
She turned to Melody, her grin growing bigger at the expression on her face. "I like this one even more."
Then she stretched her hand towards them in a handshake. "I havenāt introduced myself yet, have I?"
"My nameās Akira Graves." Then she released her aura. "S-rank."
Melody and Lukas took a step back instinctively, her aura buffeting them like a strong wind.
The aura wasnāt hostile, but it was thick with power, displaying to everyone around that this was a person on the cusp of becoming an Adept.
At that moment, her profile appeared before Lukas.
[Akira Graves]
[Age: 20]
[Race: Elf]
[Rank: S-rank Awakener]
[Class: Necromancer]
[Exp: 100%]
[Stats:]
[Strength: 2837]
[Agility: 2278]
[Constitution: 2743]
[Mana: 3830]
[Skills: Resurrect, Death Bolt]
Lukasā eyes almost bulged out of their sockets from his shock. An S-rank [Necromancer] with this much mana?! Heād hit the jackpot!
He cleared his throat, regaining his composure and stepped forward.
Grabbing Akiraās hand, he gently pulled it towards himself, leaned forward, and pressed a soft kiss to the back of her hand, all the while maintaining eye contact with her.
"Pleasure to meet you, Akira." he smiled as he straightened. "Iām Lukas Valentine. Your new husband."
"Oh my." She batted her eyes at him, a light dusting of pink appearing on her cheeks. "I almost swooned."
"Iām sure thereāll be plenty of time to do that later." he retorted with a grin.
"And this is?" She turned to Melody, her smile widening.
"Iām Melody." Melody stepped forward, having regained her bearings. "Lukasā first wife."
"A sister in marriage?" Akira pulled Melody into a hug, surprising her. "Itās good to see you."
Lukas simply stood there, watching their breasts squish into each other as they hugged. Then the view was ruined as a system prompt appeared before him.
He was about to wave the prompt out of his sight when his brain caught up with the words on it.
[Would you like to copy the class, stats, and skills of Akira Graves?]
āYes!ā he thought immediately.
This time, he could actually feel the change in his body as his stats increased.
[Congratulations, Host. Your power has increased.]
[Lukas]
[Race: Human]
[Rank: C-rank Awakener]
[Class: Thief, Hexblade, Necromancer]
[Exp: 9.20%]
[Stats:]
[Strength: 4953(+200)]
[Agility: 4285]
[Constitution: 4739]
[Mana: 5994]
[Skills: Pickpocket, Lockpick, Cursed Blade, Hex Shield, Blood Armor, Resurrect, Death Bolt]
He stared at his new stats, a devious smile slowly creeping on his face. There was no denying it now. He was a powerhouse.
From what he could tell, all his stats had already crossed into the Adept territory. It was a little known fact that the average newly minted Adept stats usually started from three thousand.
Of course, this didnāt account for the truly strong or older newly minted Adepts. There were rumors that those usually started at five thousand.
Without his cheat of copying his wivesā stats, his stats would probably still be in the low hundreds.
Unlike him, those with truly strong classes had to balance hunting outside the city for exp with clearing dungeons for stats.
Unless they were willing to spend a long period of time clearing E-rank dungeons with others, sharing the rewards four or more ways, and slowly amassing stats, they wouldnāt be able to go the same route as he was, soloing dungeons.
He clenched his fists, feeling the raw power in his muscles. But even with this power, he had little hope of winning against an Adept. Even a new one.
Their bodies had been upgraded to a level that would be able to squeeze more out of their stats than his C-rank body could from his stats.
There was also the fact that an Adept usually had four skills, with their two Awakening skills growing stronger, and then receiving two new skills upon advancement.
Not to mention their skills would be more powerful than his own. Crushing him wouldnāt be too easy, but it also wonāt be hard.
His eyes skipped down to his new skills, checking out what they could do.
[Resurrect: You can reanimate any corpse youāve slain as an undead minion to fight for you until it is destroyed or dismissed.]
He almost let out a giggle of excitement at what he was reading. Just this skill alone, coupled with his stats was enough to make him even more dangerous than he already was at soloing dungeons.
Now, every beast he kills would help him kill the other beasts, making him even faster at clearing dungeons.
And with his new and overabundant mana reserves, he didnāt have to worry about running out of mana. At least not until after a long time of fighting.
He moved to the next skill.
[Death Bolt: You can fire a bolt of necrotic energy at a single target that deals damage and prevents them from being healed for one minute.]
He exhaled, practically vibrating in excitement. He finally had a ranged skill! He didnāt need to get up close and personal in all his fights anymore.
Pulling Akira had truly been a godsend. He couldnāt think of any skills more perfect than these two heād gotten.
He rubbed his hands together, thinking about the havoc he could wreak on any beast that stood in his way.
"Is he always like this?" Akiraās voice reached his ears.
He looked up to see his two wives leaning together conspiratorially, giggling as they whispered about him, loud enough for him to hear.
"No," Melody replied. "Only when heās feeling excited."
"And how often does he always feel excited?"
"Often enough that you end up seeing that look more times than you bargained for." Melody chuckled.
"Not even a few minutes together and you guys are already ganging up on me?" Lukas grinned.
"Who told you to be our husband?" Melody shot back, laughing.
"Well, thatās enough gossip, ladies." He turned to the exit of the clearing. "Itās time to go home."
