Harem Reborn

Chapter 225: Better Score

We didn't have to walk far to get to the first room, and it was empty, but there was a door at the end of the room.

"Do you think this room is a trap?" Sandra asked, squatting down and looking around the floor. 

"I don't think so, but let me go first, and then you guys follow, that way we can turn and make our way back the same path."

I walked first down the center and then the girls followed behind me. I watched my step, but there wasn't anything obvious that was standing out, so I moved to the door. I held my hand for everyone to wait until I opened the door, but the moment I touched the door the world froze and I got crazy out of body experience, seeing myself and the girls in the room and the door had a ten on it and I had a seven on me. The girls each had an eleven and two eighteens, very funny Game.

The door exploded, but I turned into a brick wall, blocking the entire blast, but turning back fast to be in the middle of the smoke and falling rumble. I coughed and hacked and the girls rushed forward to see if I was okay. I waved them off as I brushed myself clean and cleared my throat of the shit I just took in when I changed back. The ability was life-saving, but not foolproof, a person could still get captured without the magic doing anything.

"So, Sandra or Latisha, I think you two should check for traps, Carly...you stay with me, we are supposed to hint things, I think." 

"What makes you say that?" Carly asked, scowling at me.

"They have eighteen for intelligence stats without any help, I have seven, you have eleven."

"So where are the things to hit?" Carly said without missing a beat.

"In here"

Sandra called from inside the next room,  so both of us rushed over, but it was only a pair of goblin so the two of us went in to swing, and that thing happened again.

My stat was at twenty-two with just my fist and no help, feels a good moment as I smashed through the first goblin with an eight. The Jet-Ax smashed the head off the other goblin like it was paper, but she had a whopping fifty-five with that thing. Wait no, it's getting smaller and it's at fifty-eighth now. 

I let the other two check the door while Carly came over to me with a big smile, so I gave her a head pat and a kiss on the forehead that made her go up on her tippy toes. I heard the door click, and I turned to look and see that Latisha and Sandra had the twenties over their heads now. So, points for working together? I wonder what other things you could get points for? I imagined Grace's eyebrow raise and then rolled my eyes at my own internal joke.

The next area was a hall with five rooms, with doors that were all unlocked, and empty. At least they were until Carly and I walked into one and the door closed on us. This was par for the course, but then four bright orange lizardmen jumped out at us and time slowed.

First red twenties popped about their heads and we had a pair of yellow fives. The time went back and all the lizards rushed us before we could defend, but right as they were about to hit us I reached behind my back and grabbed a handle, feeling plates moving to cover over my arm. Time froze again, and the lizards all had fourteen above their heads were white, strange.

Then I saw what was over our heads. Carly was a nice gold with her hundred and twenty, but I was three question marks, in black, making it hard to even see in the darkroom. Time snapped back, and I finished my motions of pulling whatever the hell was attaching itselfOH GOD! 

[A-Type Weapon: Dragon Claw] Activated!

Lightning pain shot into my arm, making me see white as my arm whipped around like it had a mind of its own. Carly screamed, but when the light cleared and the pain died down, I could see she was fine, and the air was filled with dark particles. Her eyes were glued on my arm, but before I could follow the motions to see what was there, an ear-splitting roar came from my arm.

All The black particles sucked towards my arms as more pain ripped through me, but I could feel more power come to me. I looked down to see from my elbow down it was covered in silvery red metallic scales that turned into clawed hands. The thing that was making the noise, that had now stopped, along with the pain, was a tear in my palm.

"What is that thing? Those lizards, it, a dragon's head ate them all! I thought it was going to attack me, but it flew past me and killed the lizard that was about to attack me!"

"I don't know what it is, an A-Type, but I don't know what that means,"

The door clicked open and the other two peeked their heads in to see if we were okay, I waved to them and Carly ran over to tell them all about it. I looked down at my arm again; just what was this thing?

'That thing is a rare Type weapon called an Adaptation Type. That means that it will adapt to your body over time and become one with you! You will get a lot stronger, but it's gonna cost you in pain. This thing will get easier, but you're integrating a monster into your body, so expect some turbulence. Still, quite the pull and just the item someone with the Cheaters quirk is suited for. This will be very useful in the future, so feed the beast!' -Dansie.

Great, I was in for a world of pain, but if it meant getting stronger, then I would bear it with a smile!
