Demonic Dragon: Harem System

Strax sat in the center of his room, a luxurious space decorated with dark and golden tones, reflecting the opulence of the Vampire Realm.

The walls were adorned with ancient tapestries, and the soft light of candles flickered, casting dancing shadows on the polished marble floor.

The silence was only interrupted by the faint sound of his breath as he stared at the floating system messages, his face illuminated by the ethereal glow.

[Mission Completed: Conquer the Three Vermillion Sisters – Reward: 100 levels gained.]

[Mission Completed: Conquer Scarlet Vermillion – Reward: 100 levels gained.]

Strax sighed, shaking his head as he read the details again. "Two missions completed... And, honestly, I'm surprised I'm still alive." He murmured to himself, running a hand through his messy hair. He could feel the weight of the changes in his body, but also the growing power pulsing through his veins.

"Conquering the Three Sisters was challenging enough," he thought. He remembered every interaction, every moment when he was on the brink of losing control or even his life. "But Scarlet... that was a whole different level." Her face flashed in his mind, her overwhelming presence, and the fire of her determination. He chuckled quietly, with a touch of exhaustion. "She almost killed me... several times."

He slid his finger to open a tab in the system, and suddenly, he was bombarded with a list of notifications detailing attribute increases and unlocked abilities.

"This is insane." Strax analyzed the stats while a slow, confident smile spread across his face. "Three hundred levels and these abilities... No wonder I feel like a monster now." He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the energy flow through his body like a rushing river of power. "But why is the Primordial Transformation incomplete?"

He clicked on the ability for more details, and a new message appeared.

[Primordial Transformation: The user has reached the status of a Primordial Vampire, but the transformation is not yet complete. To complete the evolution, it will be necessary to consume the blood of another Primordial or absorb enough life energy to stabilize the newly formed vampire core. Warning: instability may cause unpredictable reactions.]

"Unpredictable reactions? Wonderful. Because that's exactly what I need right now," he muttered, closing the message with an impatient gesture. Despite the warning, he couldn't ignore the excitement rushing through his veins. He was no longer just a vampire. He was something much greater, something more powerful. "I'm already beyond what I thought was possible."

Strax leaned back in his chair, allowing himself a moment to process everything. The pressure and chaos of the past few weeks had been intense, but he was starting to realize that it had all been worth it. He now had enough power to face practically any enemy. The only question was how he would use that power.

"What's next?" he asked the system, more to himself than expecting an answer.

And then, as if in response to his question, a new message appeared.

[New Mission Available: Meet Elizabeth Tepes]

Description: The Empress of Vampires, Elizabeth Tepes, has reached the Emperor level and become the most powerful figure in the Vampire Realm. Establish dominance over her to solidify your position as a Vampire.

Strax choked on his surprise, his eyes widening. "Elizabeth Tepes? The Empress? You must be kidding me..." He laughed, but the laugh was nervous. Conquering the Three Sisters and Scarlet had already been a monumental task. Now, the system was asking him to face the most powerful figure in the entire realm.

"This is getting out of control," he muttered, rubbing his face with his hands. But even as he said it, a slow smile formed on his lips. He couldn't deny that there was something thrilling about facing such an impossible challenge.

"Well then, now... what do we have for today..." Strax was still sitting in his room, processing the flood of system messages, when he felt a chill run down his spine. Suddenly, several familiar auras appeared, strong and intense. Before he could move, a voice echoed, furious and unmistakable:

"You irresponsible husband! Get over here, NOW!!"

It was her. Samira. His dear and explosive wife.

"Oh, this is going to be fun," Strax murmured, a mischievous smile appearing on his face. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the room, moving so fast that he left only a blur.

Appearing before the mansion, he faced the four women—Samira, Beatrice, Cristine, and Monica. They looked exhausted from the journey, but the determination in their eyes was clear.

"I missed you," Strax said with a smile, opening his arms as if expecting a warm reception.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had only a second to react before two figures shot toward him like lightning.

"HUSBAND!!!"

Beatrice and Monica collided with him with such force that the impact sent him flying backward. He barely had time to grunt before he found himself on the ground, completely crushed by the hugs of the two.

"Argh! Calm down, I'm still mortal... kind of!" he complained, his voice muffled by their tight embrace.

Monica, her eyes shining, squeezed his neck as if trying to make sure he was really there. "You have no idea how much we missed you! Why do you always make us chase after you, huh?!"

"I knew marrying you would be trouble, but THIS is ridiculous!" Beatrice exclaimed, burying her face in his chest. "You get kidnapped, leave us worried, and now you're here acting like nothing happened!"

"I was busy... or something like that," Strax responded with a slightly guilty smile.

Before he could say anything else, Samira appeared in his line of sight, arms crossed and an arched eyebrow. "And you think being hugged by two crazy women will get you out of trouble, Mr. 'Victimized'?" Read exclusive chapters at empire

Strax tried to get up, but Beatrice and Monica were still holding him to the ground. He looked up at Samira with a mischievous grin. "Well, I can't say I'm complaining about the welcome."

Cristine, who had been watching the scene with her arms crossed and an amused smile, decided to chime in. "Well, at least he looks alive... for now."

Samira scoffed, stepping forward with determined steps. She stopped beside Strax and looked down at him as if she were a mother reprimanding a mischievous child. "You're acting like you didn't drive us crazy for weeks. Do you have any idea what we went through to find you?!"

Strax tried to argue, raising a hand to defend himself. "Look, I wasn't kidnapped on purpose... My dear Scarlet is... a little crazy."

"A little, is it?" Samira gave him an ironic smile and squatted down beside him, pulling his face close. "Say that again, but look me in the eyes, darling."

Strax opened his mouth, but before he could respond, Beatrice and Monica squeezed even tighter.

"He's ours now! You'll have to wait your turn!" Monica shouted, while Beatrice nodded vigorously.

"My turn?! He's OUR husband!" Samira retorted, pointing at the two.

"What's all this noise so early in the morning!" A shout echoed throughout the mansion... It was Cassandra...

Before Strax could utter another mischievous remark to ease — or worsen — the tension, a familiar voice reverberated through the walls of the mansion:

"What's all this noise so early in the morning?! Don't you have any decency?"

Everyone froze for a moment. Cassandra's figure appeared at the top of the stairs, her hair disheveled, clearly in a foul mood, like someone who had been yanked from a glorious sleep. She rubbed her eyes, but her sharp gaze quickly focused on the group.

"Oh, of course, it had to be you, Strax," she huffed, crossing her arms. "And what are these... three lunatics screaming about at this hour?"

"I'm not crazy!" Monica protested, still clinging to Strax's arm like a stubborn child.

"Oh, yes, because jumping on him like a hungry tigress is totally normal," Cassandra retorted with sarcasm.

Samira raised an eyebrow and pointed at Strax. "He's our husband, we'll do whatever we want."

"Sorry, little newborn, but this vampire here is OUR husband," Cassandra said, crossing her arms.

The room went completely silent... but not because of Cassandra saying "Our Husband"—they already knew that from the system messages—but...

"Vampire?" Samira was the first to break the silence, her voice laced with disbelief.

"Yep, vampire," Cassandra responded with annoyingly casual calm, crossing her arms as she observed the scene with a smile of pure delight.

"W-when did this happen?!" Monica finally managed to speak, taking a step back as if trying to process the information.

Beatrice, still holding Strax's arm, looked at him as if he had just grown a second pair of wings. "You... became a vampire?! How?!"

Strax opened his mouth to respond, but Daniela was quicker, pointing an accusing finger at him. "And you didn't think it was important to tell us this earlier, you jerk?!"

"Okay, everyone relax," Strax began, raising his hands in a defensive gesture, but his voice was drowned out by the chorus of questions that erupted at once:

"How did you become a vampire?"

"Who turned you?"

"Is this permanent?"

"Are you still the same Strax or have you turned into a monster?"

"Can I speak now?!" Strax exclaimed, his voice finally cutting through the confusion. He took a deep breath, trying to maintain his composure. "Yes, I became a vampire. No, it wasn't planned. Scarlet kind of... turned me."

"Scarlet?!" The four of them shouted in unison, the name echoing through the room.
