The dragon's harem

Arad couldn’t believe it, Shi’s soul was dormant for so long that he almost forgot she existed deep within him. To think that she was the one to pull him out of the labyrinth’s grasp.

^No, noise… You heard.^ As simple as in life, as she is in death. But even with such few words, Arad understood what she meant; she is a part of his soul now after all. There is too little noise inside him now. She had been awake for a while, but the noise created by Arad’s Pricolici, dragonic, and other powers was enough to muffle her up, bury her beneath the shadow of their power.

He closed his eyes and tried to look deep into his soul, but he couldn’t. That was a part of his draconic power; now that he doesn’t have it, he is left with what a normal human could do. Except, now Shi can influence his body the same way Doma does, but far weaker.

Being relegated to a weak human being, Arad had only one choice, to see if the system is still there. But as he expected, the labyrinth had nuked all of his power there too. But something about his stat sheet looked odd; he did show up as a human, but why is his default class a barbarian?

From what he remembers, 10 across the board is the average for a human, and twenty is their peak. Nina would lose her mind if she saw him being a barbarian while still having 20 in intelligence; he might even say she’ll lose what little mind she has left.

The moment Arad read his skill, it became clear how he ended up as a barbarian. Now, with all of his powers stripped away, only Shi’s soul could diverge his path.

He looked around, cracked his neck started running. With each heavy step of his, a loud thud boomed across the plains. It was quite horrifying to see a man of his size moving almost as fast as a horse.

Soon, Arad saw a pack of black wolves marching across the plains, heading toward what looked like a patch of thicker grass. Even with as large as wolves were, to him who stood at nearly 8 feet tall and was as wide as a muscular ox, they looked like normal small dogs.

{Emerald Plain’s Deadly Wolf: Level 26}

{HP: 126}….

Arad didn’t care about what the wolves’ stats were. Even if they had a thousand HP, they’d die as soon as he crushes their skulls. Probably a part of a barbarian’s stupidity, but that didn’t make sense with his high intelligence. Probably, barbarians were bound to be reckless and simple-minded, a part of their charm.

The wolves saw Arad rushing toward them from a mile away. Even without their sharp senses, he was hard to miss. Such a massive oaf moving like a crazed wild bison, even they didn’t know whether to attack him or just get out of his way.

But what the wolves thought didn’t matter, for they were Arad’s target. Being a level 1 meant that he needed to level up, and they looked like just enough exp to reach level 2.

With a single leap, Arad’s massive body flew almost two meters high and covered a gap of over three meters, landing right in the middle of the confused wolf pack with two clenched fists. One of the wolves welped, his spine crushed beneath Arad’s massive arms in a gorilla slam.

The wolves all rushed at him in rage, one bit his left leg, and another grabbed the right one with all of his might. In seconds and before the wolf lost its life, the whole pack was already all over Arad’s body, biting anything they could. Enraged at the sudden murder of their brother, they weren’t going to let Arad live.

But thanks to Arad’s massive size, their sharp jaws could barely find anything to grip on, and even when they did, all they could do was lock onto his muscles, never being able to reach his vital organs.

Arad twisted his wrist, grabbing the wolf that bit his right forearm by the neck and swung him around like a club, smacking several of the wolves away and shaking the rest with his sheer strength. Like a raging bull, none of them managed to stay latched on; all got thrown away.

CRUNCH! Arad felt something crack beneath his feet, he had stepped on one of the wolves that was trying to bite his leg off.

{Exp: +10}{Exp: 10/100}

Soon, the wolf that he crushed at the start died as well, {Exp: +10}{Exp: 20/100}

CRACK! One of the wolves was far smarter than the others. When hunting large prey, they never face it head-on. Going for the neck of a wild ox or bison was a death wish for wolves; instead, they relied on bleeding, biting, and chewing at the soft parts of their prey and letting it bleed to death.

Arad’s eyes opened wide as he felt it, sharp jaws clenching tight on his back end, trying to rip his jewels and prized meat-stick out. The pain was unimaginable, sharp, and almost made him throw up… His fist immediately came swinging down like a meteor at the wolf’s chest, forcing him to let go.

The wolf wailed as he let go of Arad’s lower bits, having done his mission and having left Arad with a torrent of blood rushing down from his lower half, he won. But Arad wasn’t going to just give up and let the wolf live. He grabbed him by the testicles and ripped them off, almost immediately crushing the wolf’s head to the ground in a fit of rage and with a deafening roar.

{Exp: +10}{Exp: 30/100}

Surrounded by wolves, bleeding from his lower half as if he’s pissing, and seeing the Alpha male and Alpha female approaching the pack. Two massive black wolves with menacing red eyes, Arad had no other choice but to try it.
