1000x Random Returns: Investing in My Crippled Demon Wives!

Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Does the System Think I’m Collecting Wives Like Poke Creatures?!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations!]

[Wife Bond Milestone Reached — Lover]

[Select 2 of 5 Rewards]

[Option 1 — Wife Slot +1]

[Permanently increases maximum registered wives by one.]

’Another slot already, the system keeps offering me more wivfe slots.’ he thought.

’Does the system think I’m running a hobby of collecting wife’s like those poke creatures from Earth?’ He considered it briefly.

’I’m not even sure three is fully manageable for me yet.’ He pictured his current life, Evelisse’s snack addiction, Aurelia’s crazy training and dominance, Seraphina’s quiet, gentle and crazy alchemy related explosions and now with her bloodline, plus he already had Carmilla, his master and self proclaimed sugar mommy living rent free in his head.

’Yeah forgwt it for now, adding one more might actually kill me, but first let’s check the rest, who knows there might be no better second option.’

[Option 2 — Marriage Bond Tattoo Upgrade]

[Permanently enhances existing Marriage Tattoo and Contract related to Second Wife Seraphina Lilith. Includes mental communication, emotional resonance, life-sense, direction sensing, emergency teleportation, item transfer, soul and mind protection, etc.]

’This is obviously a no brainer,’ he thought immediately. ’It’s very useful for both the girl’s and me and could save us in dire times.’

’Since it appeared for both Aura and Sera, it should appear for Eve, so it has to be picked for all of them.’

[Option 3 — Cultivation Rank +2]

[Upon use increases cultivation rank by two ranks.]

’This has no use once again, since I’ll have to disperse my cultivation eventually.’

’Still pointless before the foundation rebuild.’ He skipped it again

[Option 4 — Heart King Bloodline (Epic Rank)]

[Aquire the Heart King Epic Rank Bloldine of the Incubi from the Lilith Family Lineage Pool as an additional bloodline.]

His eyes lit up reading this as the system was giving him a completely new bloodline as a reward, and from the name he and the description he could tell it would be something like the bloodline Seraphina had, even the name was similar.

’This is a good second option if there is nothing better, though will Crimson Sovereign let this bloodline share some its space in my body?’

[Option 5 — Bloody Trait Sub Ability: Trait Fusion]

[Unlocks Fusion sub-ability of Bloody Trait from yout Talent. Combines Traits into a single Trait.]

”...Trait Fusion?” His eyebrows shot up at that option.

He weighed all five.

Wife Slot, not urgent right now and the only person who he could think of to use it on was his dear master who was a Goddess, heck he didn’t even know how she saw him as the way it is going, she likely sees him a child, calling herself his sugar mommy and all the teasing she does.

And chossing this would not be useful, as currently she was the one investing in him and he had no clue what to give her, and if anything he gave her would actually trigger a system investment reward seeing as she was a Goddess and what she might need was anything he could get without without system.

Cultivation was also useless for now and he could get it eventually through other means.

The Heart King Bloodline had potential, but he already had a way to get more bloodlines and it wasn’t something he absolutely needed right now.

His eyes landed back on Trait Fusion.

’But this,’

He’d been hoarding traits for weeks, some brilliant, some redundant, some utterly pointless, and had wondered more than once whether he could ever combine them into something better.

”It seems like my choices are staring right at me.” He said grinning at what he had been complaining about as his trait list grew.

’Marriage Tattoo Upgrade and Trait Fusion.’ He decided.

[Ding!]

[Rewards Confirmed.]

[Marriage Tattoo Upgrade.]

[Bloody Trait Sub Ability: Trait Fusion]

Heat bloomed across his lower back almost instantly.

He twisted, reached behind himself, and pulled his shirt up to glance at the mirror across the room.

Aurelia’s new tattoo, the crimson sun wrapped around by the dark Asuran flame, was already present on his lower back as above it, near the middle of his spine, Seraphina’s tattoo was changing.

The old design, fangs, rose vines, a heart shaped from blood, tiny wings and a curling tail, began to rearrange itself. Crimson lines intertwined with a delicate pink silver heart. Succubus-wing patterns unfurled outward like petals, and thorned vines grew around the whole thing, then softened, blooming into roses.

[Ding!]

[Marriage Bond Tattoo Evolved.]

[Mythical Rank Marriage Tattoo — Seraphina Lilith.]

He pulled up the full description to see if it was the same as Aurelias or if there was anything different.

[Fate Bound— cannot be removed by either partner or by anyone else, through any means, trying to and depending on the severity will trigger fates wrath (limited to tattoo’s rank).

Fates Wrath: Effects Unknown.]

”Nice.”

’So now I can talk to both of them, anywhere within a hundred kilometers. I wonder if they can talk between themselves, it should be possible?’

’Genuinely useful for the estate, future dungeons and emergencies. All that’s left is getting Evelisse’s pne upgraded, she should be close to the bond leveling up.’

Beneath the estate, in the underground training chambers, Seraphina suddenly flinched mid-motion as her own tattoo began changing.

Warmth pulsed against her inner thigh, sudden and gentle as understanding of what happened poured into her the same way it had into Aurelia.

Her eyes went wide as her cheeks went red as the heat climbed up to her entrance nearly making her slip.

”You should get rest for a bit little Sera, you just got your bloodline today so don’t push to much.” Carmilla told her seeing her nearly slip and her red face not knowing the actual cause.

Sera did as told and went to sit in the resting area where where various training weapons were stored, she pressed a hand to her face to cover her blushing as the heat climbed higher.

She squeezed her legs together, rubbing them before the sensation disappeared just as her hand went below.

Carmilla, who entered and hovered towards her noticed Seraphina instantly. ”Something wrong little Sera?” She asked smilingly knowingly.

”No!” Seraphina pressed a hand to her leg.

’Bloodline, yes definitely because of the bloodline just awakening and making me horny, not because I wanted wanted do it.’ She denied as she realized what she was about to do.

She gathered herself then tried the tattoo’s new effect, thinking about talking to Lucien.

’Lucien,’ she thought, and to her astonishment, a familiar voice slid into her head.

’Sorry, should’ve warned you.’

”Must be temporary bloodline effects I assume.” Carmilla’s eyes narrowed as her smile widened, Seraphina nodding agreeing with what she said.

’Is Carmilla there with you?’ Lucien asked mentally.

’Yes, and Lady Carmilla is teasing me.’

’That sounds like something she would do.’

Seraphina pressed her lips together, fighting a laugh and Carmilla narrowed her tiny eyes.

”Why are you giggling like that?”

”Nothing.”

Back in the bedroom, Lucien activated the second reward.

[Ding!]

’So I can finally clean up this disaster of a trait list.’ He thought looking for how many he had acquired, he then activated the ability as a new system interface appeared before his eyes.
