Boss Katsu, It happened, Seiji is OP! Meh, he needs it to explore your world, the Harem you say? All the OP heroes have them, so mine has one too. If you are not happy where this story is going, then finish yours. I'll continue this one for free.
Previous:
Ringo woke up with a smile in my bed, next to Nancy, Aya, and Inari, and me hugging her from behind.
21 A lot of Spirits!
I whispered in Ringo's ear: "Good morning love, did you have a good time?" I ignored the sighs and moans in my head, those Spirits are addicted to the [Royal Treatment] and riding their buzz for a lot longer than humans.
Ringo snuggled deeper in my arms and sighed: "I had a wonderful time Seiji, you made it hard to turn this family offer down, I am not sure I want to turn it down. I feel loved and wanted here, I only feel that with my parents."
She turned to face me: "What will happen when Nancy refuses to join?"
I kissed her forehead: "Nancy is and will always be a dear friend of us; you too, even when you don't want to join and want a husband for yourself. You can consider yourself as a House Guest, the door is always open for you, and there is a room with your name on it said Elena."
Ringo felt hugged from behind by Nancy: "Ringo, they are winning you over, isn't it? Whatever you decide is alright with me. Seiji, I hate to cut things short, but I have to be home in an hour. Thank you for this fantastic night."
At breakfast, Ringo said: "Elena, I want to join the family, last night convinced me that you care for me. And I am having feelings for Seiji and all of you."
Everyone cheered, Elena said: "We knew you would join the family Ringo, Lord Seiji's Magic has yet to be wrong. When we are done with the dishes, Lord Seiji will give you the [Hero Party Set]."
Xxxxx
Ringo touched the [Mana Crystal Fragment] first and received [Information Magic] level 2. With [Search], and [Art] as Magic Skills. I am curious about [Art].
| Appraisal
| [Art]
| It makes it easier to create works of art.
| When Magic Power is applied, it can give Magic effects to the piece of Art.
| Rarity ****
I explained the Appraisal of [Art] to Ringo: "You have [Information Magic] now and your Magic Power is at 13, when you are designing, and you pour your magic in it, it will give it magic effects. You have to find it out for yourself which effects it gives."
Ringo got the [Hero Party Set], speechless she listened to the explanation, some she already knew, others were a complete surprise. A quick tour at the Temples, gave her Fire 2, Wind 1, Water 2, Earth 2, and Lightning 2.
Lela received Fire 1 and Earth 3, confirming her talent for Earth.
Elena stopped the fun: "That will be enough for now, you have to train your Magic to a high level. Too many Magic Skills will slow it down. Seiji? Armor and weapons for Ringo. After that, we register ourselves all as adventures and as members of the [Hero Party].
Xxxxx
An hour later we entered the 4th Floor to let Ringo get used to killing monsters. Aya and Elena demonstrated the different magic Spells and weapons available; Ringo chose to be a ranged attacker. Slicing monsters up close is not her thing. [Earth Bullet] became a favorite and [Electric Shock].
Lela experimented with [Earth Magic], Spikes, Bullets, Walls, it was easy to do with less MP.
We drew a lot of attention with our magic attacks from the Adventurers on this floor, a complete team of Magicians is a rare thing, I feel good, I got a lot of looks of envy from the males.
Yes! Feel the jealousy, See but don't touch! Touching is my job! Hah! After twelve years I finally have it made, my Harem!
Aya slapped the back of my head: "Whatever you are thinking… That evil grin... it is scaring us, quit it!" Scary women…
Ringo got it after a while, we moved to Starfish beach for easy experience, I set it so that Ringo was the only one getting it, so her levels went up in no time, I Teleported to the Floors with a lot of monsters, when Ringo got at level 30, I set the experience to spread equally.
"Alright, it is time to go to the upper floors. Lela and Elena, both of you direct the fight, I will concentrate on defending Ringo, Lydia, Inari, and Kacha. As they are the lowest levels, they will attract the monsters, those always target the weakest ones."
Xxxxx
Floor 53 had one big shiny Golem, Yurie, with the advantage against [Light] with her [Darkness Magic] distracted the Golem by [Blinding] it. Lela and Elena made a good team, Lela guided the warriors, Inari, Kacha, Yurie, and Mai. Elena did the same for Ringo, Lydia, Hilda, and Aya. It made my job simple by setting [Barrier] against [Light].
We used the fight to hone our Skills and coordination, but the Golem did not stand a chance, in the story, Seiji fought him alone under level 60, I am nearing level 80, and the others are level 60 or more, except the new girls. When the fight was over the levels went up.
Ringo is Level 35
Nancy is Level 25
Lydia is Level 36
Inari is Level 36
Kacha is Level 36
Hilda is Level 60
Yurie is Level 59
Mai doesn't like [Appraisal]
Lela is Level 64
Elena is Level 66
Aya is Level 68
Mine is Level 77
Xxxxx
Floor 54… Delivered a Slime, a HUGE Slime! Big as the size of 10 Blue whales! The bloody thing shined so hard, I Ported everyone out and bought strong sunglasses for all.
After that, we sliced him up until we found his core. The drops are a bit disappointing, after that [Magic Stone of Draconian Transformation] the drops got back to normal ones. The XP was huge though.
Floor 55, a Big Shiny Bird, it was as if there were two suns in the Sky.
The bird went down and our level went up. I know, OP Dude coming through! Pick up the pieces when we leave… meh, I store the good stuff in my [Inventory] I am certain the bird will taste good.
Floor 56 Formed a challenge, a Dragon, not as scary as the one of level 28, being the second dragon, the tension was less, Lela saw the weak spot, a different colored scale, and ordered the attacks aimed at that spot…
The loot was good, another [Magic Stone of Draconian Transformation], it is a different model from the previous one, so this is a good Stone. Too bad the two other Dragons on this floor didn't drop shit.
I stored their bodies and had lunch with the girls before we move to the 57th floor.
Floor 57, Will-O-wisps, a lot of them with two magics in them, Light and Darkness… good EXP! We tore through the Wisps like a knife through butter.
Floor 58… Shiny Ice Crystals, plenty of them, we made quick work of them because we were freezing our asses off.
Floor 59! we are almost at the finish!
We entered the floor, a big wasteland with dark clouds above us, then I remembered it, the last one is a Lightning Dragon! I Erected a big steel dome around us, a Faraday cage.
A deep voice said: "Well, it is been a long time since Humans came up here, and I see you came prepared. Very well, defeat me and you can see the one on the 60th floor."
Without another word he attacked. The cage got peppered by lightning, when it proved to be useless, the dragon attacked the cage and came within range of the girls.
From the safety of the cage, the Girls went all out with their spells. Being hit by so many spells, the dragon split into hundreds of smaller ones, I made the mazes of the cage smaller too.
Elena pointed a dragon out with a different color: "That one! Focus on that one, he is the key."
The dragon splattered into millions of glitters when he got hit, and disappeared, the Loot… A big Stone.
| Appraisal
| [Magic Stone of Nuclear Fusion]
| A Magic Stone that Constantly gives 1 GW of Electricity
| # Can only be handled by someone with [Lightning Spirit Contract]
| Rarity ******
WTF? This Stone can power a fucking City! How broken is this? And why is this in this world? They are still in the middle ages!
Quickly I put a dome around the stone: "Girls! This Stone is bloody dangerous! It generates enough electricity to power a small city! Only someone with a [Lightning Spirit Contract] can safely touch it."
Yurie shouted: "A small City? That Small Stone? Ok compared to the other stones this one is huge, but Powering a small city?"
"Yurie, it constantly gives 1 GW of Electricity, enough to power 250 000 homes and some to spare."
Honestly, when I read this in the novel, I thought the writer lost his pedals and went over the cliff. If it was 10 000 Kw it would be believable, now my [Inventory] holds a [Nuclear Plant].
Elena said: "Keep it safe for now Lord Seiji, and we go to meet the one on the next Floor."
Xxxxx
We all went up to the 60th Floor, a small floating girl awaited us, I grinned at Elena and said: "If all the bosses were like this then I would come here every day, hello pretty one, you are [Magical Girl Sexy Oracle] isn't it? I have some Sisters that like to meet you."
I called all the Spirits out, [Oracle Spirit pouted]: "Hey! I prepared a whole speech! I even wanted you to guess who I am! You cheated somehow! How come you have so many Spirits anchored at you?"
Dani Darkness, as the oldest inhabitant said: "Ori, as the [Information Spirit] you must know what happens when you anchor yourself to a human."
"Of course I do! You get to feel everything that human does and experiences… oh! You sluts! He has a Harem, doesn't he? Tell me, does it feel like he is doing it to you?"
Flashy answered: "Once you get the [Royal Treatment] you are sold Ori, there is no going back from this."
My girls were following the conversation, they were finally able to see and hear the Spirits. And were speechless at the dirty talk of them. Then they realized... they were with them all the time? The girls followed the conversation on what they did last night with me and how it felt for them.
Ori finally said: "OK! You convinced me, tell me Seiji, are you willing to be an anchor for me?"
"Sure Ori, I always have room for one more sexy Spirit, make it a tattoo on my chest if you please. But can we visit your Crystal after? Do you know where the Crystal is?"
Ori chuckled: "Anchor first, Crystal later, you know patience is a virtue." she kissed my forehead while I fed her MP, and a Silver circle was formed around Pinky's pink heart tattoo. It is getting crowded in here.
A wall opened up and the Crystal came out. When I touched the Crystal, a gong sounded through the Tower, a voice said: "The [Hero Party] completed the [Tower of Sunrise]. Access to the upper floors is prolonged for fifty years. Every four floors will have a [Teleport] point to the entrance."
My robotic voice said: "[Information Magic] is now Level 6. [Information Magic] is now updated.
| [Information Magic] is updated
| [Vigilance] expanded the range, treats are automatically [Appraised]
| [Map] is upgraded, information from authentic maps can be uploaded
| [Appraisal] is upgraded it can't be sensed anymore, more information is shown.
| [Concealment] is updated. It now blocks Tracking Magic
| [Tracking] is upgraded, Beacons can be remotely controlled.
| [Language Acquisition] is upgraded Languages are automatically acquired
| [Increase Skill Mastery] is updated. The increase rate has increased.
| [Summon Oracle] is added
| Creating a new [Magic Spell Stone] with Oracle is possible.
Ah! this Magic is so broken! I can hack some Spy satellites and have the whole world on my [Map]. I can [Appraise] Mai without letting her feel like I shove an ice-cold dildo up her snatch. [Tracking] will be easier to search for Devil Village.
[Language Acquisition] is going to be a problem, our world has thousands of Languages, even more dialects… imagine taking a stroll in the UN building… I hope there is going to be an on/off button on it.
One of the best improvements is [Increase Skill Mastery], with [Teaching] level 5 they all are going to get their magic fast. [Summon Oracle]… she is in my body, so I just have to shout. Creating new stones is a plus.
One by one the girls touched the Crystal and updated their [Information Magic]. Hilda got hers on level 2, studying the elements and searching the internet paid off.
Inari and Kacha were getting one more tail from it, making it Nr 5.
Best of all, our levels went up fast.
Ringo is Level 38
Nancy is Level 25
Lydia is Level 44
Inari is Level 45
Kacha is Level 45
Hilda is Level 62
Yurie is Level 62
Mai is Level 63 and still doesn't like [Appraisal]
Lela is Level 66
Elena is Level 68
Aya is Level 70
Mine is Level 78
Well, Ringo is the biggest winner, 38 levels in one day, it must be a record, she has a lot of adjustments to do now.
We entered the Adventures guild and passed the information, although they already knew, the whole Town heard the voice and the celebration was well on its way.
The Guild Master received us: "Congratulations on this achievement Princess Elena. You to Lady Iron Wall Lela, the country is in your debt."
Huh? What am I? chopped liver?
Yurie commented: "No wonder that it took so long to conquer the Tower, the leaders are incompetent butt-kissers."
Elena nodded: "You are right Yurie, guild master, how do you think we got so strong? Do you think we could do this a month ago? Lord Seiji trained and guided us, we defeated the Orcs and Goblins thanks to him. We conquered the Tower of Sunrise because of him, and you ignore him completely. I doubt you are suited for this job."
We turned around and left.
Xxxxx
At home we ordered Take Out, living here for several years, I knew the best places. After dinner, the girls went over their gains.
Mai summed it up: "We raised our levels and sharpened our skills, but we did it too fast, we rushed through that Tower as if it was a race. Did you know that the [Oracle Spirit] was there Seiji?
"It was the most logical place, there was no Crystal in this town although according to logic there should be one. The top of the Tower was my best guess. Now that the Tower is done, we can take a day off tomorrow, does anyone have a suggestion?"
Kacha said: "I want to go to the Tower again to train my magic or stay here if you can teach me new magic. One of those two."
Inari agreed: "For me too, both are important for us."
Mai hesitated: "I am for visiting the tower before lunch and visiting Grandpa in Demon Town after lunch.
Aya was already texting: "I invite my high-school friends over and spend a day in the city."
Hilda: "Mai? Can I come with you? I can? Thank you!"
Yurie's eyes shined: "I follow the Captain!"
Lydia looked at me and said: "I want to spend the day with Lord Seiji. Ah, Ringo, you too?"
Elena looked at Lela: "Lord Seiji, Lela and I are spending the day discussing the reforms that are needed for our country, before we let you see it for approval."
"I will stay here and try new magics and Magic Stones, if you need transportation, everyone has a [Magic Phone], just call, and I pop over. Now… I am going to try something."
I summoned all the Spirits: "Hey girls, I want you to see my world and meet the girls."
Dani smiled at me: "We already did Seiji, remember, we see and feel everything you do."
Ori cheered: "But I didn't! Show me everything! Girls, I stay outside. Seiji I want to explore."
I turned my PC on, and said: "First help me create a new [Spell Stone] pretty one."
"Oh yes! It has been ages since I did that, take an [Empty Magic Stone] in your hands Seiji, I will enter that Stone and record the Spell you are performing."
That sounds easy, I took an [Empty Magic Stone] in my hands, watched Ori getting inside, and [Teleport] to a corner of the room. Ori came out of the Stone while the Stone glowed brightly.
"All done, put some MP in it and the Spell will work." Proclaimed Ori proudly.
"Great! Thank you, sweetie. Here let me introduce you to the [Internet], wait for me to log in… done. I think you can enter the PC and follow the information stream, have fun, I summon you back in an hour."
I inspected my new Stone

| Rarity ******
"Girls, I have a solution for our transportation. [Teleportation Magic Stone]! Who wants to try it first?"
Aya already had it in her hand, she put MP in the Stone and ported to the Corner that I went to when Ori recorded the Spell.
"Alright, that corner will be our arrival point. Everyone will get a [Teleportation Magic Stone], leave that corner free and once you arrive, step away quickly, or someone else could land on your head. Next is leaving from here, Lela probably wants a Stone to her mansion, Elena where do you want your [Teleportation Magic Stone] deliver you to? Everyone?"
My [Teleportation Magic Stone +3] requires only half of the MP, an hour later everyone has a Come and Go set.
When I summoned Ori back she protested: "Hey! I wasn't done! I need more time! There is so much Seiji!"
Aya chuckled: "Another internet junkie is born."
"Ori, one more Spell, and you can have another hour, ok?" I am bribing a Spirit?
"Yeah! Get the [Empty Magic Stone], fast!" It bloody work?
"This time the Japanese Language, get ready pretty one." Ori went in the [Empty Magic Stone] and I did the Language Acquisition Spell, a nice glow later, and Ori jumped back into my PC. I checked the new Stone.
| Appraisal
| [Magic Stone of Language Acquisition] Japanese
| Pour Magic in to learn the complete Language stored in the Stone
| Possessing [Information Magic] Reduces the MP cost.

I commented: "This is a Stone the College Students will love [Magic Stone of Language Acquisition] Japanese! Instant top grades for Japanese. Almost everyone has [Information Magic] so I expect it will cost about 1000/1500 MP. Wait, I'll make a copy… [Magic Stone of Language Acquisition +2] Japanese. Half the cost to learn it."
All the college girls used the [Magic Stone of Language Acquisition +2], happy, they discussed the Languages they wanted next.
I stopped the daydreams and said: "It's getting late, time for bed now, Ori, tomorrow you get a whole day on the Net, but what is going to happen with the Tower now that you are here?"
Ori answered: "My essence is here, but my consciousness is all around our world. The Tower will be fine, I am monitoring it."
Xxxxx
That night Ori got her share when she experienced Elena and Lela getting the [Royal Treatment]. The next morning I had to remember her about the internet.
Ori said: "They won the argument, the [Internet] moved down a place. Call me back when you get some action Seiji. Do you want to create another [Spell Stone] first?"
Now that I have created the Stones from the novel, it is time for my own twist.
"Yes Ori, Girls, the next Stones are healing Stones, and I want everyone to have them with you when you go into the Tower."
I created three different kinds: [Wound Recovery Magic Stone], [Detoxifying Magic Stone], and [Cure Sickness Magic Stone]. Getting everyone those [Magic Stones] drained my MP almost completely.
I dropped Inari and Kacha on the 4th floor, so they could experiment with their Magic, both were showing their tail proudly.
Mai, Hilda, and Yurie asked for the Darkness Floors, 29th and up. Both groups are told to return at noon for lunch.
Back home I took the rest of the girls in bed and… Nah, Elena and Lela confiscated my office, so I took Ringo and Lydia into the kitchen, to study Potions. Three Potions later they have [Potion Craft] Level 1.
Lydia enjoyed brewing Potions and tried other recipes, I moved a bit to the side with Ringo and taught her [Decomposing] with [Electrolysis] from [Lightning Magic], and let her decompose 10 silver Aurums, and two useless Magic stones. My Kitchen table is protected with my [Barrier], accidentally decomposing my kitchen table would be bad for their confidence.
Then I trained Ringo's [Earth Magic], after a few tries she succeeded in creating Mithril: "Ringo, now comes the hard part, you have to shape the metal in the form you desire, do it in steps, first, cut a piece of metal to the size you need. Second, mold it roughly in the shape you want.
The third step is the hardest, visualize what you want in your mind completely, then pour your MP in it and force the metal to take the form you want. The more detail you make in the second step will make the third step easier. Try it."
Ringo took her sketchbook and opened it to a drawing of a hairpin. I guided her every step of the way, not that it was needed, but to speed the process up. [Skill Mastery Increase] and [Teaching] Level 5 helped Ringo to create her first [Work of Art]:
| Appraisal
| [Hairpin of the Searcher]
| While equipped, it increases [Search]
| Having [Information Magic] doubles the effect.
| Rarity *
Ringo looked speechless at her first self-designed and self-made [Work of Art].
I hugged her and said: "Congratulations honey, it is beautiful! A word of advice, if you create jewelry for Nancy's Jewelry, then don't make it too obvious that it is made by Magic. Before you make another, research alloys, Mithril is too Magical, try other alloys, here are some Gold Aurums."
I left Ringo with her newfound Skill [Jewel Craft] Level 1. and her sub-skills of [Molding], [Metallurgy], and [Metal Control] from [Earth Magic] which is now Level 3.
It made it clear we need a workshop, more so when I have to start lunch, which is impossible with the kitchen table occupied by Potion ingredients and decomposed metal. Meh, I fixed lunch on the counter, we have a posh Dining room so we eat it there.
I need a bigger house… Do I kick Daddy-in-law out of his castle? It got plenty of rooms… or Lyle-in-law? He has a big mansion too… Nah, we can manage it so far, Ringo can practice it at home too… damn! She has parents-in-law! I still have to visit Yurie's parents, and probably Nancy's mum.
Xxxxx
At Lunchtime Elena called the Tower girls back home, one by one they ported in, and rushed to the showers. Ringo and Lydia cleared the kitchen table while discussing their progress.
"Potions are fun to brew, but I want to prepare the ingredients too." Said Lydia with a sigh.
"Seiji gifted me something priceless, I was happy to get a job designing Jewels, and now I can make them myself! That Cosplay convention changed my life, Seiji changed my future." Stop it, Ringo, you are making me blush! I overheard their conversation and am happy with their comments, I know it is Narcissistic... bite me, I deserve all the praise!
Ramen for lunch, the other-worlders have a few slices of bread with it.
Kacha and Inari raised their Magic levels by one, so did Mai, Yurie, and Hilda, considering they did it in just a few hours, being in the [Hero Party] is a cheat on its own.
"Lord Seiji, you said the Devils are plotting against us and the Demons, can you quickly scout the towns and Demon City for spies?"
"Sure Elena, I'll do that when I transport Mai, Hilda, and Yurie to Mai's grandfather. Inari and Kacha, I'll introduce you to Earth Magic when I get back, and we having Aya's friends over for Dinner so wear your [Magic Stone of Human Transformation +3]"
"I want to learn how to prepare the Potion ingredients Lord Seiji, and how to create [Magic Water]. I find [Potion Craft] very interesting." Lydia is hooked on Potions, after a few years behind the counter dealing with snobby Potion Masters, it is a kind of revenge to learn it faster and produce better Potions than those snobs.
I checked the Beacons on the Devils, I am lucky, one of them is at a statue of a devil, I remember they use it as one-way portals.
The video feed above the table showed Devils porting in: "Elena, those Statues need to be destroyed, they can use it for troop transports, with a [Return Stone] to a central camp, they can attack settlements thousand miles apart on a single day."
Mai said: "Show this to Grandpa, he will arrange the Demon side."
Lela commented: "I know that region, it is close to Ebisu Town. I think they want to eliminate the Healers."
"We will hop over when the last one arrived."
