“Dimension Gate!” Cynthia growled from the crater within the colosseum’s wall.
Unconcerned with a counterattack, the girl summoned a wall of purple, warping house, marbling with black behind it.
A white warp gate opened up 100 toes within the air.
And not using a time restrict, the gate made an insurmountable barrier, defending the girl except Shiloh ran from the perimeters.
It was solely a stopgap, but it surely sealed her destiny. Unable to see, Cynthia did not discover Shiloh gathering pillows at lightning velocity.
Shiloh started throwing the pillows into the warp gate with surreal drive inside seconds.
As soon as the primary one hit the white gate—
Thud!
A small rumble shook the stadium because it despatched the elf crashing into the wall.
As soon as the primary pillow crashed into Cynthia’s cranium, she understood she was performed for.
Three extra hit her immediately; she tried to dodge, but it surely was nugatory.
Her imaginative and prescient turned hazy, and she or he launched the Dimension Gate as a consequence of an absence of focus.
Shiloh closed the space in a cut up second and started hitting her head with the pillow.
THUD! Thud! Thud, thud, increase, thud, increase, thud, BOOM!
Everybody watched in shock because the scene unfolded. The struggle had solely began thirty seconds earlier than, but it surely was so savage and one-sided it was exhausting to name it a struggle.
Leon closed his eyes. He needed to cease the match, however he could not.
Contemplating Cynthia could not die, he appeared away and reviewed all the pieces he had seen, pretending to not hear the impacts.
“STOP THE MATCH!” Somebody screamed.
“PLEASE!” One other aspect.
“Cynthia would hate all of us for all times if we let that occur.” Leon stated calmly, “If you happen to have a look at Shiloh’s face, she additionally begrudgingly understands that.”
Few folks have been watching the beatdown as a result of it was horrifying. Nevertheless, once they glanced on the God Show, they may see Shiloh cringing with a strained expression.
“Surrender! You are already useless. You bought your want for an honorable dying!” Shiloh yelled bitterly.
“Fuck off, cunt.” Cynthia laughed.
BOOM!
“You are useless. Your honor will not change when the gods prevent!” She growled, “I do not wish to harm you!”
“That is a [you problem], not a [me problem].” Cynthia replied with a bloody cough.
The haremites watched the scene with surreal expressions.
By some means, the loser was Shiloh, who was pissed off and depressing.
Growth! Thud, thud, increase….
“This is not search for this metropolis!” Shiloh yelled bitterly.
“Then quit.” Cynthia laughed, “You confirmed up uninvited.”
“I can not!” The girl screamed.
“Heh. What’s your petty excuse?” The elf chuckled.
“I DON’T LOSE GAMES!” Shiloh roared whereas pulling her pillow again.
BOOOOOOM!
The stadium shook, and an enormous explosion of sunshine lit up the stadium.
Cynthia healed immediately and dropped from the crater onto the bottom, panting. She had a shit-eating grin on her face.
“What are you grinning about?” Shiloh gruffed.
“You… haha… you simply showcased your full power.” Cynthia laughed with smiling amethyst eyes, “In a struggle the place I could not die. Do you assume that is successful?”
Shiloh’s golden eyes full of murderous intent, however she had a cool, relaxed face.
“Taking recommendation from useless folks is extraordinarily irrational.” Shiloh smiled, “So I believe I am going to chorus out of your lecture. You understand, for my well being.”
“Hah. I am very a lot alive.” The elf laughed, “Momentary immortality, bear in mind?”
“You say that as in case you would not have let your self die out of irrational honor, Miss Pragmatist.” The girl replied mockingly, reminding the elf of her insistence on [rationality].
“Honor drives folks to dwell life with worth and respect.” Cynthia laugh-scoffed contemptuously, “You understand, not treating it like a recreation.”
“That is humorous.” Shiloh giggled, “I hope folks examine your honorable feats in historical past books.
That method, they’re going to ignore them and focus completely on how you bought bludgeoned to dying with a pillow.”
The elf frowned in disdain. The girl did have a degree, and even the members of the Dainty Dying Squad despatched lukewarm smiles to the battlefield.
Leon let the speak proceed to mine info from the unusual lady.
“You’ve got level.” Cynthia replied bitterly, “However this wasn’t your recreation, sure?”
Shiloh frowned on the elf’s mocking expression.
“You are right here to announce your entrance to Leon. Did this farce assist your trigger, I’m wondering?” The elf mused maliciously.
“Or did you simply launch your secrets and techniques whereas hurting your status?
In spite of everything, this struggle wasn’t search for Harem Metropolis.”
Shiloh smiled and glanced at Leon, who watched her with curiosity, awaiting her reply.
“Understanding the right way to mitigate your losses is a part of taking part in video games.” She replied earlier than turning again to the elf.
Their amethyst and golden hazel eyes locked.
“I sacrificed a secret to win and keep away from successful the battle however dropping the battle.” Shiloh asserted.
“You sacrificed your life for respect and honor when the motion assured humiliation and shame as a substitute.”
Cynthia frowned with a bitter expression. She was getting grilled mercilessly however deserved it.
“I requested to struggle you as a result of your mindset is extra twisted than mine is.” Shiloh laugh-scoffed.
“You continually declare you are chilly and irrational and scorn people, however you are irrationally following a human and serving to us at each alternative. It drives me loopy.”
“You are proper.” Cynthia chuckled bitterly, “I misplaced the battle and the battle needlessly. So reply me this; was your admission you have been combined in with us intentional?”
Shiloh gave the girl grin and appeared up on the sky. “I formally request that the dwell feed get lower quickly to candidates.”
A cut up second later, everybody received a discover.
—
God’s Announcement: Particular Occasion: Leon’s Horny Pillow Combat Evening is quickly paused for candidates. It is going to resume shortly.
—
Shiloh grinned in satisfaction, then appeared again at Cynthia.
Her physique morphed from the bottom up, twisting and contorting house like oil factors mixing till it reached her head.
The viewers gasped in shock, and Leon grinned with fascination, happy he was proper.
“After all.” Regina Rodriguez replied nervously
Everybody stared on the Hispanic lady in shock. She appeared utterly human and had the voice and accent to match.
“I used to be getting actually bored ready for you all to appreciate that I haven’t got electrical energy powers.” She giggled.
Cynthia’s eyes trembled in shock.
“I imply, you place me accountable for the electrical energy crew and let me order folks round with out showcasing my energy.” Shiloh continued in Regina’s voice.
“Sure, you are busy as a result of Leon will not management folks like politicians and leaders are required to, however giving me a management function? Come on.”
Leon was grinning from ear to ear. The girl was strolling round, interacting with him extra usually than 97% of the haremites, but he did not discover both!
He stood up and clapped slowly.
The haremites stared at him in bewilderment.
“Shiloh. I discover you extraordinarily spectacular. I am appalled that you just infiltrated us [for fun], however that makes it amusing.” Leon chuckled.
Shiloh bowed, permitting Regina’s hair to fall downward.
House warped once more, marbling the colours till she returned to her regular type.
“I am going to forgive your deceptions, however have three questions for you.” Leon stated barely sternly, “Reply truthfully or I will not forgive you. Do you perceive?”
She nodded with a severe expression.
“First, are you a pathological liar?” He requested.
“I lie after I wish to, however as you may see, I do inform the reality, sure?” Shiloh smirked.
“Comprehensible. It is clear you are amused and that you just love video games.” He remarked, “And in your look?”
She gave him a wry smile after which appeared round and sighed, recognizing the worth of being open.
Her type reworked once more, and her look bewildered everybody.
Shiloh had the identical face, physique, and eyes—largely.
She wore a easy black v-neck t-shirt and leggings as a substitute of her modern clothes.
Her pixie lower was brown and raveled, she wore no make-up, and her breasts have been b-cups as a substitute of c-cups.
In brief, she was the identical particular person however used her phantasm magic to decorate how she favored and made her breasts a little bit bigger.
A wave of bewildered laughter waved by means of the viewers as she blushed and crossed her arms over her chest bitterly.
Lindy burst into laughter, unreserved in her amusement. Caitlyn and Tricksie nonetheless had homicide of their eyes, as they already did not like her.
Reina stared on the lady with a bitter expression.
“I want I selected a category that introduced out my skills as a substitute of selecting a supporting energy to latch onto folks.” She muttered underneath her breath.
Leon appeared again at her and smiled. “What are you speaking about? That energy makes you much more deadly; if it weren’t, she would not have chosen the identify [Regina] to problem you.”
Shiloh pouted that he had discovered her out. She might have the facility to alter her look and voice, however she wasn’t as terrifyingly overpowered as she appeared.
Her non-combative class was equal components knife and Achilles heel.
She needed to social engineer a pretext to begin a dialog as a result of she had no helpful energy to current to folks, they usually would not belief her if she did not disclose one.
Furthermore, killing and impersonating somebody would not work if you do not know their speaking habits, have their routines, and data.
Social engineering at that degree takes a comical period of time, vitality, and intel gathering.
Against this, Reina may be a part of anybody’s group as a result of she had a legendary assist class.
Watchers knew she had uncovered Leon’s enemies however did not know her quirky persona wasn’t real. Nevertheless, it was irrelevant.
Everybody would quickly let Reina be a part of their get together [temporarily] to outlive an engineered assault.
She had barrier and therapeutic magic, in addition to different invaluable expertise. In consequence, they would not flip her away in the event that they have been in want.
Furthermore, if somebody knew she was a liar, she may expose her [real personality] in any method she needed.
Reina was a really terrifying particular person.
In comparison with the Dainty Dying Squad, Shiloh was the least highly effective. Nevertheless, she had one thing everybody else did not: the power to kill overpowered folks.
She additionally had one thing else underneath her sleeve.
“I’ve one final query for you whereas the feed is lower.” Leon introduced whereas trying into Shiloh’s eyes.
The girl swallowed nervously. She may really feel his vicious gaze in her bones.
“Everybody discloses their energy right here. What’s yours?” He requested with narrowed eyes.
Most haremites fell silent in confusion when Leon requested Shiloh to reveal her energy.
Everybody noticed her create illusions of her look and her voice. In order that they could not perceive why their chief was assured that her energy wasn’t phantasm magic.
“Do you consider your eyesight deceives you?” Shiloh requested with a poker face.
“Do not waste my time.” Leon replied sternly, “Everybody discloses their energy right here, and your energy has phantasm magic; it is not an phantasm magic energy.”
The haremites checked out his stern expression in fascination, hanging onto his each phrase. They might see the hesitation on the girl’s face and have been curious.
Shiloh’s eyes glided to the left. “I am going to inform you, however first, I need you to inform me what you assume my energy is. Will you do me that courtesy to fulfill this one’s curiosity?”
“I believe your energy is said to taking part in video games with folks; you might have magic that permits you to play video games at a better degree.” Leon replied.
Her eyes widened in shock. “Why would you assume that?”
“You bludgeoned a girl to dying to win a dropping recreation since you’re obsessive about successful video games.” He smiled.
“Regardless of your delusive philosophies, you’d have accepted the Pyrrhic victory if you did not have another choice.
That degree of gameplay is obsessive. There is not any method you do not have a game-related energy.”
Shiloh’s full of fascination at his response.
“That’s my energy. Loki’s [Gamemaster] permits me to make contracts with folks once we play video games.” She smirked.
“You are proper, I’ve magic that makes the video games extra attention-grabbing, and the video games end in bounded rewards and losses.”
Minx was sitting behind the skybox’s door. She needed to be close to Leon however did not wish to face him.
However the minute she heard these phrases, she flew into the skybox and tried leaping out the window onto the mattress.
Nevertheless, Leon caught her by the scruff of her neck mid-jump, dangling the cat lady from the skybox window.
For non-superhumans, the sight was actually terrifying and inhumane.
If he had been caught on video with out context per week in the past, he’d have been deemed a prison.
New world requirements have been totally different. Leon’s motion was met with laughter, cheers, and a non-terrified however actually mortified expression from Minx.
Shiloh appeared on the cat lady with predatory eyes, and the latter returned a narrowed gaze.
A cut up second later, the Minx’s neon glowing eyes disappeared as he pulled her into the skybox.
“This lady would not gamble, you fool.” Leon scolded, “You do not have the identical energy. If you happen to play in opposition to this lady, you will get skullfucked 3 times sideways.”
“I make certain contracts and select my video games too.” Minx huffed with an indignant expression.
“Is that so? Does your energy improve in efficiency the extra unsure the guess is?” He mused sarcastically.
She scrunched her face with a bitter expression earlier than turning her face away and pouting.
“It is known as Gamble, Minx.” Leon laugh-scoffed, “This woman creates the principles and may lead her opponents into traps. You haven’t any likelihood of successful in opposition to her together with your mindset.”
“No matter.” Minx replied, secretly making an attempt to determine the right way to persuade him to let her play.
He turned again to the gamemaster. “You’ve got my respect and curiosity, however in case you assume you might have an opportunity in hell of becoming a member of my harem proper now, you are sadly mistaken.”
“Proper now.” Shiloh acknowledged with a slight smile.
“Proper now.” Leon confirmed dryly.
“Then I am going to sit up for it.” She replied with a captivating bow.
“Me too. So ensure that my companions do not homicide you, kay?” He countered sardonically.
Shiloh checked out Caitlyn, Lindy, and Tricksie’s murderous expressions. Nevertheless, the particular person whose gaze frightened her probably the most was Reina’s.
The gamemaster blinked twice to retain a peaceful expression after which circled and walked out the gate.
Leon was happy she left whereas she was forward. He discovered her fascinating; his companions—not a lot. They have been salty past comparability.
Cynthia received up and silently walked out the opposite gate with a stoic expression.
He puzzled if he ought to verify on the girl later.
Shiloh identified her habits and problem, and Leon figured he ought to assist extra. He did not plan to, however he thought he’d at the least study what he was avoiding.
Leon clapped his arms to get everybody’s consideration. “Okay, attractive pillow struggle, then let’s get some sleep. Sure?”
One haremite despatched out a lone, awkward cheer. 4 adopted, and earlier than lengthy, everybody was clapping and cheering awkwardly.
“Come one. You’ve got seen hardcore, continuous shows of Harem Metropolis’s may. The place are your cheers!?” Leon yelled together with his arms excessive.
The spark set off a cataclysmic chain response that shook the airwaves.
“It is time. Rivals of the Horny Lingerie Pillow Combat take the stage!”
————Replace to the Under Announcement————
Sorry for this loopy lengthy replace, but it surely’s actually necessary, and I can not delete greater than 100 phrases. I am pausing writing of HG; you will study under. Within the meantime, this is an replace.
Voting for Playboy Cultivator within the Apocalypse opened for tonight (12 days), so I am releasing two HG chapters. Now you can discover it on my novel web page by swiping [Nightmare] to the left.
This improvement would not change that I used to be hit with an expense that is sending me right into a monetary disaster, and wish religion that persevering with will not result in whole monetary destruction.
If I knew this may occur, I would not have tried writing two novels and releasing [Nightmare]. Unexpected issues occur; life works like that generally.
I’ve 40+ PC chapters accomplished [before] getting hit with this monetary brick I will be releasing, so please do not assume I am abandoning a monetized novel for an uncontracted novel. I am not.
I am going to launch extra HG bonus chapters whereas interviewing in response to constructive PC alerts that improve my religion in being knowledgeable writer. Search for bonus chapters.
Thanks for studying. I respect you all.
————Essential Announcement————
Thanks in your assist, everybody. I remorse to tell you that I am taking a break from writing HG.
I have been residing on financial savings for the final six months, and time’s operating quick. It is even shorter as a result of I simply received hit with a crushing monetary expense.
So I am pausing HG to seek for a job. Nevertheless, I am going to resume if Playboy Cultivator within the Apocalypse can be contracted.
The reason being easy: I am going broke, and HG [alone] won’t ever attain sufficient paying readers for me to make a residing as knowledgeable author.
To place issues into perspective, 28% of the brand new readers who started studying PlayCult on Sept ninth are nonetheless studying the novel. Against this, HG has 1.26%. Appears dramatic, sure?
Let me inform you the story behind Harem God.
Six months in the past, I began writing as a result of I beloved internet novels however was pissed off with cliches. So I left work impressed to jot down tales with which means, plots, and psychological components I really like.
Nevertheless, I did not embrace widespread tropes. In consequence, the 2 novels I spent 1000+ hours writing tanked. These failures have been my fault, however the ache and frustration I felt turned insufferable.
So I wrote Harem God: Leveling Up Yanderes within the Apocalypse.
This is the filtered assessment I wrote the day I launched the novel.
—
“I wrote this novel in response to an existential disaster. I wish to know if my works will not succeed as a result of I am a nasty writer or if it is my defiance of cookie-cutter tales.
Nicely, we’re about to search out out!
Put together your self. I’ve written probably the most Webnovel-ie internet novel that ever received posted on Webnovel!
Techniques, ladies, overpowered mc, sociopathic habits, apocalypse, monsters, twin cultivation, dangerous humor, motion, reverse isekai, degree up, degree up, boobs, boobs, boobs!
Yanderes and tsunderes for days, cat women and dragon milfs for years!
And a wise sociopathic mc who’s not likely both however is as a result of I, the godly writer, stated he’s.
To prime all of it off, I put the complete plot within the title and obtained a extremely sexualized picture for the duvet. I even used small print to not cowl the breasts and panties!
It has EVERYTHING—besides step-sisters and lolis. Sorry, my requirements are low, however I can nonetheless attain as much as hit all-time low.
So reply my existential disaster. In order for you extra chapters, make it rain with energy stones and evaluations.
As a result of if this does not succeed, I am going to simply must admit my writing is not for Webnovel :’)”
—
I did not plan for this novel to achieve this degree of readership. I wrote the primary 16 chapters with out pause in 12 hours with out concern for his or her high quality, venting my frustrations with absurdism.
But, you, the group, breathed life into this story. You made me wish to write and push ahead, making this story greater than a joke.
I’ve began scripting this novel like I deal with my different novels, and I am grateful you have been loving and receptive.
The extra folks learn my pure writing, the extra they find it irresistible, and the paid retention price has skyrocketed. That makes me so blissful and immeasurably grateful.
Thanks. It means so much.
I remorse not taking the novel extra severely; in any other case, this story had main potential for livable success.
Since I did not, it is completely scarred with offputting choices I made whereas venting my frustrations.
So it is not shocking it receives tough suggestions, and so many individuals drop. It is a harsh actuality that hurts extra on daily basis.
With time operating quick, I started writing a severe novel for WN, Playboy Cultivator within the Apocalypse, out of [economic necessity].
It brazenly embraces tropes and cliches for the primary time and is geared for achievement—that is why it is doing effectively. It is the alternative of my different novels.
Nevertheless, I really like HG. That is why I am working twice as exhausting writing a moneymaking novel and pushing to be knowledgeable writer, so I can proceed writing it.
In any other case, I am going to get one other 10/hr a day salaried job and be pressured to drop each novels completely.
Fortunately, it has lively readers, many from HG, and excessive non-paid retention charges that crush HG. It is proof I am doing issues proper, and being knowledgeable writer is not a pipe dream.
Regardless of that, it has been over ~9-10 days, and it nonetheless hasn’t opened for voting, it is not proven on my writer’s web page or data web page, and it is unsure the place it is getting views.
It feels just like the novel is deliberately getting held again. That is extraordinarily discouraging as a result of I would like that novel to jot down this one.
Regardless of the cause, writing it’s proving pointless, and I will be homeless quickly if I proceed scripting this novel alone. I would like a supporting novel to proceed. It is an financial actuality, not a selection.
Due to this fact, that is the final HG chapter I will be releasing for some time except I get a contract. I hope I do and may change into knowledgeable writer, so I can proceed bringing this story to life.
–
Please know I write this with a bleeding coronary heart.
The folks studying this chapter make me so blissful. The damaging feedback by this level within the story have practically disappeared, and the retention price for paid studying is humbling.
I am writing extra naturally; I really like that you’ve got welcomed that.
You’ve got made this author’s journey price it. Thanks.
