Limitless The Strongest Revenant

The girls and I were all in one of the living quarters around the barracks. I placed a {Shelter} shield that covered the door. So for everyone else, this room had no opening. Like spoiled children, my battle harem demanded hugs and kisses.

Only to these women would my caresses be worth facing armies of monsters and undead. Naturally, I used {Day by Day}. My familiarity with it allowed me to move them all independently. I could use them as if I were in [Commander].

I didn't know if {Gather} and {Calculate} had anything to do with it, but my learning speed in repeating a task was superhuman. In less than 2 weeks, I could have all seven of my bodies having separate conversations.

Which was good, because I had a lot to talk about with my harem. The Sirens were incredibly stubborn. To everyone else, they were Amazons who would never submit. But to me, they were docile women who accepted my authority.

Because of their immense talent, even when we were cuddling, they all used the time to bring me up to speed. While the earlier battle was not that difficult, it was a learning experience for me.

The girls all had new soulgear that we hadn't had a chance to talk about.

And instead of being surprised on the battlefield, I wanted to understand how my girls were getting stronger. Fortunately, my {Fates} made processing information much easier.

'Being an artificial descendant might also have something to do with it,' I joked to myself.

First of all, the longer I used the Siren's {Fates}, the more I learnt. Aki warned me about the hidden danger of {Eat}. Similar to how no one knew {Rewind} better than me, as the original owner of that {Fate}, she knew best.

Clearing an entire floor was something we had done before, but complications arose from the battle ealier. Aki mentioned that unlike when we used Song of the Sirens on the single-digit floors, the strain on them this time was immense.

Aki was mounting me as I sat on a bed against a wall. Her arms were around my neck and her tongue was intertwined with mine.

All seven of my girls preferred this form of communication. Exchanging saliva with our mouths while discussing with our links.

"Haa...haa....Aaah--...Ahh--..."

The sounds of our passionate kisses along with Aki's soft breathing were all that could be heard. But in reality, we were having a serious conversation.

'Kamisan, you are so fucking erotic. Have I told you how much I want you to squeal "ikuu" while I pump your belly full of my semen?'

'Literally every time you see me, Anata. Your thoughts are all about defiling me. So much so that I have become desensitized. How can you think about that for every waking moment? Sigh. Never mind.

By the way, how are you so good at kissing? Where did you learn all that?'

'I had seven really good teachers. Joking aside, go on with what you were saying earlier, Aki.'

'You say that. But your hands have not stopped fondling me since we entered this room.'

'I plead guilty.'

'Anyway, as I said. We all felt that opening the {Portals} on this level was more exhausting than on the upper levels. While we barely felt the strain on floors 6 to 10, the girls and I overdrafted almost four times here.'

' I do not understand what overdrafting means. I mean, I think I get it, but how does it work?'

'Anata, {Eat} has one glaring flaw. It does not actually give you infinite run energy, it just uses it up in advance.'

'Explain.'

'Let's think about it in gaming terms. Do you know games where your character has skills that use HP instead of mana?'

'Yes, these are usually known as sacrifice skills. Berserkers and demon types always have them. In exchange for reducing their health, they gain immense power,' I explained like a know-it-all.

'Yes, that is true. The same principle applies to {Eat}. Let's say you normally have 100 HP. If you use your stamina, that 100 HP will be reduced.'

'The {Eat} family of {Fates} all either use stamina or restore it {Gather} and {Carve} are passive, so they just add to your daily stamina energy.'

"Okay... what is the problem then?'

'The problem is when you run out. When you use {Eat] or {Butcher}, you restore your stamina by using HP that you do not have. That is, instead of having only 100 HP, because of my {Fates}. You actually have 300 you can use.'

'I see. As long as I can eat something, I can summon more stamina by using my future HP?'

"Yes. That is how it works. Normally, you regenerate your stamina, so when you are not using it, your body restores the HP by itself. The problem is when you exceed the limit. If you have used up 300 HP, but still force your body to use {Eat}, you are overdrafting,' Aki explained.

'Okay, I can still understand that.'

'Good. {Limitless} has an inferior version of {Eat}. Its limit is three times your original stamina. So for people with 100 HP, its limit is 300,' Aki explained

'Go on...'

'In the battle earlier, the Sirens and I all had over 500 HP. I am fine because my version of {Eat} allows me to draw 800 HP.'

'Hmm. Then what will happen to your body if you overdraft it too much?'

'Anata, this is why I warned you about it. Even though we have {Rewind}. {Rewind} is not perfect. It restores your stamina, but only the 100 points you body naturally possesse. It does not restore the HP you borrowed with {Eat}. That is why our mental fatigue does not disappear with {Rewind}, but with {Eat}.'

Hearing Aki's explanation made a lot of sense. I had always wondered why {Rewind} could heal me but still leave me mentally tired even if my body was fine. The only time this logic did not apply was during sex.

'Was that why your face turned purple and black when you used {Blood Feast}? That was the sign of overdrafting?'

Yes. The more your stamina is overdrawn, the more your body will slowly die. My earlier appearance was only worth 400 to you and the other sirens. I could do it again, as I still have 100 HP left if I were to use your numbers.'

'What happens after that? What happens if the Sirens and I exceed the 500 limit and go to 600?'

Aki suddenly bit my lip while grabbing the back of my head. Her link was suddenly drowned in fear and worry. She pulled back and stared at me with a fierce glare.

'NEVER DO THAT, ANATA! Under no circumstances should you do that! Please promise me! If you overdraw beyond the safe numbers, the accumulated loss of HP will hit you all at once! You will die!'

The woman in front of me was no fool.

If even she, despite being a Phantom, still feared the dangers of overdrafting stamina, I should listen to her. These must be the hidden dangers of {Eat}. Like the other {Fates}, they were incredibly balanced.

{Counter} from the {Withstand} family was the same. In exchange for the power beyond what you could normally use, you had to endure pain and know when to stop.

{Portal} while allowing fast travel also opened up the possibility of being lost in the void.

{Listen} would drive a Reaper mad if he couldn't control it. Even the {Carry} family also had this problem. You could fall from the sky or get flattened if you ran out of souls while using using {Ascend} or {Pack}.

Aki's eyes continued to stare into mine as she waited for my answer. As the one she loved, my Kamisan's assertiveness only made her more adorable. I mean, how much did she cherish me to wear such a worried expression?

Without a word, I moved closer and kissed her once more. Drowning in passion, she relented and locked lips with me again.

'I understand Kamisan. And thank you for telling me. I should get Exa to add HP so we can figure out how to assess our overdraft. '

'Hmm... Okay. A better solution would be to force Exa to forcufully disable {Eat} once we overdraft,' my ninja suggested.

'You're right. I will think about it.'

Aki ended our kiss abruptly, but suddenly opened her dress, exposing her magnificent breasts. Then she led my hand to the string on her hips and pulled it loose.

'Good. Now make love to me as if your life depended on it. Anata...I long for your love'
