What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

That made no sense! The previous Amrap raised it up like it was nothing! Was that Amrap’s strength stat over a thousand too?!

Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to use [Screened] on her so I don’t know the answer to that question.

For some reason, Odeta seemed really proud about this like she had been the one to lift the weight herself.

What was most surprising to me, however, was that the other Amraps were also staring at me like they were seeing someone lift this barbell for the first time.

What? Did I just imagine Amrap ahead of me lifting this and it never happened or something? What’s going on here?

I didn’t get to ask what was going on as Odeta wrapped her arm around my shoulder and yelled out towards the other Amraps proudly.

“This is my Sister Aster!! Remember her!! She’s the strongest!! Wahahahaha!!”

What the heck is going on? Seriously…

Odeta then pulled me along with her towards the stairs and we descended down to the next floor.

When we reached the bottom of the stairs, I was greeted with a familiar layout of a labyrinth with straight corridors going to different directions to my left and right as well as straight ahead of me.

I turned back to Odeta, “What was that about?”

Odeta grinned at me and patted me on the shoulder, “It’s just proof that my Sister Aster is the strongest!! Wahahaha!”

I tilted my head at her, “What do you mean? Wasn’t there an Amrap who also managed to lift the weight ahead of me before I tried to do it? She even did it so effortlessly too so shouldn’t she be stronger?”

“Wahahahaha! You don’t need to worry, Sister Aster! You are definitely stronger than she is!!”

I don’t understand what the reasoning for that was but… I’m assuming maybe the barbell is easier for Amraps to lift but harder for non Amraps to lift, maybe?

Otherwise… Why would she be so confident of it?

I was about to confirm that with her until clanking sounds came from the side and I turned to see what looked like an oversized female Mahun with bulging muscles and wearing only a strip of cloth around her waist and chest thudding towards us.

The only difference was that her skin was bright yellow in colour and there were no facial features on her face, not even having a mouth, ears or a nose on it.

That wasn’t even the weirdest thing as this monster, which I assumed it was considering we were in a Dungeon right now, was walking towards us while doing bicep curls with two large sized dumbbells.

Seriously? Even the monsters here are like this? This Dungeon is weird as heck.

I tried to use [Screened] on it, just to see what it would say.

[Name: Dumb Belle

Race: Monster

Stats:

250 Strength

250 Dexterity

250 Endurance

250 Magic

Skills:

Martial Skill-(Dumbbell Proficiency (Tier 1)]

…

…

Are you sure this isn’t a joke of some kind?

More specifically, are you sure an Off-Worlder didn’t take over this Dungeon and then turned this entire thing into some gym meme?

Heck, I don’t think I’ve seen a monster with stats that are basically the same across the board.

I lowered myself into a combat stance, preparing to fight the monster.

The monster ’spotted’ us, despite the fact it doesn’t have any eyes, and started rushing towards us.

As I was going to shoot a spell at the monster, Odeta stood in front of me and shook her head, “The monsters on this floor aren’t defeated like this, Sister Aster!”

I blinked at her, “What do you mean?”

The Dumb Belle then stopped right in front of us before two dumb bells appeared magically in front of it. Then it just stood there as though waiting for someone to pick it up.

Odeta turned to our other two companions and the two of them gave each other a look before Ira stepped forward to pick them up.

The Dumb Belle then did one bicep curl and stopped.

Ira shot me a look as though checking if I was watching her before she did one bicep curl as well.

The monster then did two more before stopping, prompting Ira to do the same.

They continued to just keep doing the bicep curls until they were doing twenty five curls per person each and when Ira managed to complete her set of twenty five curls, the Dumb Belle suddenly got down on a knee and placed her dumbbells on the ground.

At the same time, the dumbbells in Ira’s hands also disappeared in a puff of smoke, as if they were never there to begin with.

Err… What?

Without a moment’s hesitation, Ira then sliced her hand down in an arc and lopped off the monster’s head.

The monster didn’t even offer any resistance and just allowed itself to be killed, the corpse dropping down onto the ground with a thud and laying there, waiting to be harvested.

Ira seemed to have remembered the lessons we taught her as she proceeded to eviscerate the monster to dig out its Mana Crystal before handing it over to me.

“What do you think? Aster?” She asked with a coy smile.

I had no idea what she was asking about so I just nodded and answered vaguely, “Err… Cool.”

That seemed to be the answer she was looking for because she quickly turned to Tsara and puffed up her chest proudly.

Sorry, are you telling me… That this Dungeon basically has you compete with the monsters in roundabout bouts of strength in order to beat them instead of just direct confrontation where you beat the crap out of each other anyway?

Who the heck came up with this design?! Hiandoca, is it you?!! Tell me it isn’t you!

I’ll accept it if it’s an Off-Worlder coming up with this!!

Of course, I didn’t get an answer so I decided to turn to Odeta instead, “Ok… I accept the weird state of this Dungeon but I just want to know something… Why was me lifting the barbell earlier such a big thing?”

Odeta’s grin grew wider before she nodded at the stairs, “Do you know how long I needed to stay on that gym floor before I was able to lift that thing up to proceed to the second floor?”

I wasn’t sure what that had to do with anything but I asked anyway, “How long?”

“It took me two years, Sister Aster!”

“Ok… I assume this was when you were still young and you weren’t as strong as you were before, right? I’m sure you can lift that thing easily now.”

“Wahahaha! That doesn’t matter, Sister Aster!!”

“What do you mean?”

“Wahahaha! There’s an enchantment on the barbell! The longer you spend working out on that floor, the lighter the barbell will get!! Even if I went to try and lift it, it would be very easy for me because I’ve already spent so long there that its weight has been reduced considerably for me! But you managed to do it despite this being your first time there! Wahahaha!!”

I blinked, “Err… Ok… I mean… I kind of cheated a little with my buffs because my normal strength would not have been enough to lift it, though…”

“That doesn’t matter! There’s no rules in what you can or cannot do when lifting it! You just need to lift the weight up a certain distance and drop it back down!”

Tsara tilted her head, “Doesn’t that mean you are able to use magic to lift it up as well?”

“Of course! But for us Amraps, that’s not what we’re here for! But nothing’s stopping you from doing that as well!!”

“And the monsters? Why the heck do we need to challenge it like this? Can’t we just fight it normally?”

“That’s because it’s more interesting, isn’t it? Wahahaha! And it’s also good training too! They’re basically like personal trainers here!!”

I… Really don’t think that’s the case because at the end of the day, these are still monsters aren’t they?

“What will happen if you fail that strength challenge though? Do they just leave you alone?” I asked.

“Wahaha! Of course not, Sister Aster! If you fail, the monster then tries to kill you! Wahahaha!”

“The heck? Then why even participate in the strength challenge to begin with? Why not just kill them from the start?”

“Because if you beat them in the challenge, you can do anything you want with them! So you can fuck them right after they submit to you! Wahahaha!”

…

Ok… With that piece of information, I can totally guess that this Dungeon might actually be created by Hiandoca instead…

Damn it, Hiandoca… You really are a perverted goddess you know that? How degenerate can you be?

And as though responding to my thoughts, I heard an ethereal moan reverberating around the walls, though it seems like only I heard it as the others did not react to it.

This lewd goddess… Where’s that shock collar remote? I’m going to zap her a little…
