Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

With Melody still in my arms, I entered the house. I had tried to put her down, but she insisted that I was too comfy, and she didn't want to, so that was the end of that.

"Melody, dear. You should at least take your coat off, or poor Daniel is going to overheat. I am still not even sure how you can walk, let alone carry our granddaughter," Martha told Melody, and she let me put her down.

Melody removed her coat, and my smile started to hurt my face when I saw how pretty she looked in the basic yellow strapless dress. It was held up wonderfully by Melody's ample S-curve figure.

My thoughts briefly drifted back to lying in the grass, but I squashed them down, walking over to take a seat on the sofa. There was some tea waiting for each of us, and after I took my seat, Melody sat down on my lap and wrapped an arm around her waist.

"So, my boy. Tell me the bad news, because seeing to leave a mark on the ground like that and getting up mixed with everything going dead sounds bad," Henry said, and I nodded.

I explained everything that had happened since I got hit by the truck, and everyone listened intently. I even explained about Orphus, who stayed quiet the entire time, but only because I trusted these people.

I had no parents, and I had known Melody since high school, so we had always been friends, and we spent a lot of time together when we were younger. I had many talks with Henry and ate many meals in this house.

"So, the world is really going to end?" Henry finally asked, staring into his tea.

"Not if I have anything to do about it, but my fortune is gone now, not like it mattered anyway. The world we knew is gone and will never come back, so I am going to start trying to build a new world in place of it. One without fighting and violence, if I can, that would be much more relaxing," I said with a sigh and then leaned to the side to take a sip of tea.

"Do you really think you can do that, lad? Living in that small place and working in that book store never made sense to me. You make so much money with your store on the internet and spend it on us, and I don't know what else. I am sure you can do it, but what has got you so fired up now?" Henry asked, looking up and into my eyes.

"Well, I have this one and you two that I want to protect, and it looks like I am the only one on our side. If I don't fight, there is no hope, and this is my chance to make a real change. I tried donating to help people, but other people would take some of the profits for doing nothing, which made no sense. I tried investing in helping clean up the oceans and other green projects, but they never had an effect, but now I hold change inside of me," I explained, and Henry nodded.

I had the power to make real changes in the future, but I needed to survive long enough to take our world back. Without getting rid of the Villains, this world was doomed, no matter what I did.

"So what next?" Henry asked, and I nodded.

"A couple things, but I need to go find something that you all can ride back into the city," I said, thumbing my chin.

"Huh?" Henry asked, but I waved him off.

"Don't worry about it. Cuteness? Can you stay here for a bit? I need to go do some stuff, but then I will be back. I need to find you guys a ride quickly and then get back to the hospital and then rescue some people. Long day ahead of me still, but thankfully it's only around lunchtime," I said, and Melody got off my lap.

"Okay, I will get our things ready to go with grandma," Melody said and then grabbed my shirt to pull me into a cute kiss.

After she let go, I left the house with a smile on my face. Seeing any of the girls always made me happy, and it was a nice break from my everyday boring life that I had enjoyed.

Part of that life was gone, for now, but books still existed; I would just have to hunt them down. This is just another thing to add to my never-ending list of things to do.

"All right. Do I have any way to scan for lifeforms around me?" I asked out loud after I was outside and the door was closed.

[Already done. If you look around, you will see them highlighted in red.]

Suddenly, my entire vision became red, and I tried to blink it away.

[Sorry, we will stick to just the mammals. One tends to forget how alive even the air can be.]

The red dimmed, and soon I could see some birds in the air in red and a couple other animals. The one that caught my eye was a borrow of Foxes, and it was only a five-minute walk from where I stood, and I headed in that direction.

"So, how do I use this new skill you gave me?" I asked.

[Once you get close enough, I will scan the creature, and then you will be able to summon the menu. From there, you just have to express what you want through thought and feeling. I am sure you will get the hang of it right away! So, you were a rich boy but lived in a shit box. What is that all about?]

"I never had a reason to spend the money, and I just wanted to be able to do what I wanted. If I played poor, no one really bothered me, and the only ones that knew were the ones I wanted to. I lived a great boring life before you came around!" I complained as I headed over to the fox burrow.
