Embracing the inner scumbag

'What should I have for dinner tonight?'

I think that while caressing my hands with something soft, hence giving me a comfortable feeling.

"Umm..."

Maybe I should go to that restaurant and have some of their special eel? Or should I try some sushi? Or maybe I can enjoy something else?

"Um.."

I know, they are important decisions hence I am pondering over them while enjoying the current situation.

"Uh.."

I finally respond to the blushing mess of a girl that is currently on my lap while I am hugging her fully clothed body while sitting on a sofa in our lodgings.

"What?"

I ask her straight to her face. And Hwaryun timidly asks me in return.

"Is this alright?"

"Of course it is. Since you belong to me by your own accord, isn't this fine?"

"But this honor is too great for someone like me."

"Whether it is too great or not will be decided by me, you should just follow my lead."

"As you wish, my God."

Honestly this chick is a little too devoted to me, and this kinda reminds me of Sakura in a way. And that just makes me miss her a lot. But I can't see her until I finish the main mission here. So I am making do by cuddling with Hwaryun here. Maybe we will do something more in the future but for now this is enough.

I know this is very scummy of me. But I have accepted that I am a scumbag now. After all, anyone who makes a harem is scum. Then again, there's just this depraved desire of obtaining these beautiful women that I just saw in drawings or imagined with my mind deep inside me. So I fully accepted it.

Living in the Tower is quite interesting honestly. I just do the tests for the Floors and train in other times. Of course as a person who was deprived of advanced technology for a long time. I also enjoy playing some good video games here during my free time. I am pretty decent at them. It's a good distraction from the sometimes monotonous happenings.

We are currently on the 7th Floor of the Tower and it's been a year since I left the Floor of Tests. Master comes to teach me from time to time but most of the time, I spend alone with this beautiful eyepatch donning Red Witch.

To be completely honest I feel like I have developed a fetish for her eyepatched appearance. I can heal her eye with my Runes but that eyepatch looks quite good on her. Anyway, even if I heal her eye that eyepatch is going to stay where it is.

Let's check my Status. It's been a few days.

It's all coming together nicely honestly. Some things will be easily solved by going on higher Floors. But still, I feel my growth is quite impressive honestly for just two years of training. My foundation is pretty solid, I just need to build on this even more.

My short term goal for now is to reach the level of Rankers by the time, I reach the 20th Floor in a few years. It might be a bit too high of a goal and target but honestly my Shinsu control already reaches the level of some Rankers. I can form 20 bangs for now, honestly it's quite for me to train increasing the number of bangs since I was a magus before this and had to use parallel thinking for a lot of stuff simultaneously. I can probably make even more than 20, but for now they are a bit unstable due to lack of amount of Shinsu.

I haven't started practicing the Shinsu Black Hole Sphere and Orb yet, since they are a bit difficult and I kinda want to use them to help my swordplay since I know that it has a lot of potential.

Speaking of swordplay, this sword that I got from Master is amazing even if it reminds of a certain devil's sword from a certain series of hack and slash games. It's name is Rebellion too. I wonder if all of this is just a coincidence or is something more at play here?

Anyway, I like this sword since it's very durable and fills all of requirements for a sword.

Oh right, while I was reminiscing all about this. I forgot about my original thought of what to have for dinner. Right, I should just ask Hwaryun for a suggestion.

"What do you think we should eat for dinner tonight?"

"Eh..?"

Surprised at my sudden question she makes a funny face and then just smiles and answers.

"Why don't I just cook for tonight? It's been a while since you last ate my cooking."

"Let's do that then."

I readily agree with it. It's not like Hwaryun's cooking is anything mind blowing or something like that. I didn't agree to her because of that.

In fact, taste wise I prefer the food from restaurants. But while this may sound incredibly cliche, there's something about her food that I like that isn't really found in restaurants. It's not love or anything like that, it just feels her efforts and care in making the food show themselves when I eat it. And it is satisfying to eat it once in a while.

Hwaryun gets up from my lap and goes to the kitchen. I just see her shaking hips from behind and admire the view while muttering in my mind.

'I really am a scumbag.'

But I don't hate this fact about myself, since it's just who I am. The earlier I accept it, the better it will be for me.

And so I play some Skyrim while I wait for the dinner to be prepared.

=====Chapter End=====

Skyrim is canon in Tower of God since Repelista Jahad plays it and is a big enough fan of referencing it at the entrance of her room. Also Rebellion's appearance is the same as a certain devil's sword.

Anyway here's a two chapter release from me today since I got some free time and was in a mood to write more chapters.

There is some influence of reading akikan's work in my development of MC but don't worry, I am just doing it for it to make sense for him to have a harem. Of course I won't just include every female in the story inside the harem like akikan since that's just tasteless harem but yeah.

I think I am including enough information for non Tower of God readers to understand what's happening in the story, but if you have any questions. Also number of bangs are like number of different processes you can do with Shinsu. You can just ask about it, I will answer if I am not planning to explain about it in later chapters.

Just don't ask why techniques and things are more expensive here than in Fate. I can just answer that with that it is what it is.

Alright then, you can just comment below and let me know what you thought about the chapters and give me any suggestions if you want to on the story. I might include them if they are suitable for the story. See you guys in the next chapter, whenever that might be posted.
