The Prana

"..." The women were rendered speechless but smiled with exaggerated expressions of joy on their faces.

"Aww! He's so cute! Dang! I missed him so much!" exclaimed the female lead, Nixie Vidal, soon-to-be Monteverde.

Yes, soon-to-be Cydrix Monteverde's wife. Not only her but everyone on the team she leads, which has five female members in total. Cydrix Monteverde's fiancees range in age from nineteen years old to thirty-three years old.

"Yes!" the rest of the women agreed, nodding as if they were pecking chickens.

Except for one woman who is wearing glasses and has her hair bunned to the right side of her head, who rolled her eyes and said, "Isn't that already a fact? Why making a fuss?..." drawing the attention of the four women, who stared at her, waiting for her next words. "So, what are you girls waiting for? It's hunting time, sisters!"

"Hurhur!~", "Uweee~", "Hmmm~" They hummed as they disappeared into the woods.

The second guard, who was new to his position, was perplexed by the first guard's behavior.

The first guard, however, noticed his perplexed expression and shook his head before tapping him on the shoulder. "You should try to remember their faces and clothes; because they're the Void's Retainers, you should remember what happened two years ago in the Public District, right?"

The second guard was puzzled and remembered something before nodding palely.

The first guard was satisfied and continued to tap on his shoulder, cheering him up.

In terms of why and what happened.

Back then, the government was attempting to brainwash him into accepting responsibility for repopulating the country, or at the very least the Shelter. They are aiming for Cydrix genes, the earlier the better.

The estimated total human population since the ETEE was reduced from eight billion to less than three billion heads in just five years, and it slowed down just after the 'Superhumans' appeared after the first five years of ETEE, with the appearance of Stories and Curios around the world. This event was dubbed the "Spark Explosion."

However, the government was unable to brainwash Cydrix because he is a 'reincarnated person' with the mentality of a forty-one-year-old man in the body of a ten-year-old boy.

They just gave Cydrix some benefits again because they failed the brainwashing. That if he successfully gave birth to children with his monstrosity potential but who can cultivate Spark, he will be promoted to Colonel, the last step toward becoming a Brigadier General, once he reaches the age of twenty-four.

Even though Cydrix was only ten years old at the time, he was trained and taught everything he knew about the Shelter and the government, plus his mature mind.

But as a cultured man from Earth, he is vulnerable to the term 'Harem,' as well as the position he will hold in the future. His goal of reaching the pinnacle of laziness with power in his hands can be accomplished in a matter of years. After all, he is not impotent in the beginning to the Spark energy.

So he agreed to the terms that were extremely beneficial to him, and Nixie Vidal was the first woman to enter his life. The next day, Isabelle Ortiz, Avery Prieto, Tifanny Castillo, and Charlotte Jimenez arrived. At the time, they were twenty-nine, twenty-seven, twenty-three, twenty, and fifteen years old, respectively.

As a strong man in mind and a boy in the body. He promised them he would marry them when he reached the age of eighteen. He is simply stating who will be protected by him, who will be his people, and who will be his family in this life.

Polygamy is legal for the repopulation of humanity if the man in question is capable of supporting his future family and if the women in question do not object. He is only allowed to apply for marriage with a maximum of five women.

Thus, Cydrix Jaina already has a harem! But! The problem has not yet been resolved!

Everyone feared being near him because he was known as the Void. However, these women are merely military logistics personnel with limited abilities in cultivation and combat. They can only do their best to encourage and support those around them.

So when the government announced the news about Cydrix Jaina and their future plans. These five women step forward without fear of reverting to normalcy in order to take advantage of the opportunity to level up their situations.

Cydrix is aware of this as well but is too lazy to care because he is confident that, aside from him, no one will accept them with sufficient respect in this new era. "Their mindset will change over time," he once thought to himself.

No! Because MSAIA0 informed him about the Soul Contracts! Because his Prana is literally a Soul, he can go through some procedures to create Soul Contracts for the people he trusts.

Cydrix pushed forward his plan to buy his own house and lot with his new soon-to-be wives and family. He is already enjoying his life as king of his own territory, which is their home, with only a few months until he is offered a place in school.

But! Because he was an old wizard in a previous life, he was concerned about having children. He's afraid of how to properly raise a child, afraid of making mistakes, and, for goodness sake, he's only ten years old!

Then MSAIA0 came saving his ass! He can control his fertility rate from 100% to 0 % and vice versa with the help of MSAIA0 of controlling his Prana!

Only after his fertility had been disrupted for two months was it discovered that his semen had been converted into serum accidentally!

By erasing the possibility of life within his sperm with his Prana, the fluid instead became saturated Prana. Improving his women's comprehension of cultivation and technique abilities, physiques, and stamina. Even their feelings for him have grown stronger over time, to the point where one of them, Nixie, nearly flipped over his life, drying himself out so much that he lost consciousness for three days, causing trauma up to the present day.

Three months later, some of the female soldiers are still perplexed as to why the girls are becoming more beautiful than in previous months. The government and military then decided to test the five soon-to-be Monteverdes and discovered that their physiques Strength had jumped a whole realm from Low-White Stone Ranks to Low-Red Iron Rank for Tifanny and Charlotte. Isabelle and Avery have Intermediate-Red Iron Ranks, and Nixie has a Pinnacle-Red Iron Rank.

And this is about without mentioning the Spark in their bodies, for the military and government, Cydrix nullity wasn't that bad. Everyone who was accidentally dispersed of their cultivations found out that they can still cultivate. But the time they spent on the cultivated Spark is just wasted for nothing.

This mind-blogging discovery was delivered to their brains, leaving them stunned and perplexed.

Then the government's scientists made a big deal about Cydrix's sperm; it was then that the government was reminded that Cydrix can be triggered and personally experienced how monstrous his nullity field was.

"For some things that I'll turn against the Shelter... Is that you mess with my own people and things... So, you better burn that now and leave nothing even just a drop or else..." Cydrix explained to the people around him expressionlessly in a low voice, turning the maximum eighty-five meters of the absorption field for one second, enough to reduce the grades of everyone's strength in the field.

For the Stone, Iron, and Bronze, by one whole grade. Silver, gold, and Platinum are each worth half a grade. And one-fourth for the Emerald and Diamond ranks, wasting their cultivating efforts.

There had yet to be a person in the entire world who had attained the rank of Star.

Then Cydrix took a step back to give the people time to think about it. "It's up to you all, but just to remind you that in this era, anyone can strengthen one's internal power now, as opposed to in the past..." he paused and didn't say anything else.

Every people he is facing is smarter than the last, so everyone understands what he means. Even though there were some angry people as a result of his abrupt actions, the others agreed and took a step back, forcing the rest to do the same.

In addition, the government issued a public apology to those who were hit indiscriminately in the Public district. They informed them that there was a misunderstanding with Cydrix that caused him to become enraged at that time and that they could still cultivate as long as they didn't anger Cydrix too much, or they would face their own demise.

After all, the government still requires some 'facts' to prevent its citizens from engaging in irrational behavior within the Shelter Sun.

As for the protests from the people that really scared the hell out of their wits, were ignored or were told by the government to go to the frontline instead. Making those cowards shut their mouths.

Back to the Monteverdes.

Because he knew his fiancees could cultivate much better, he had the house divided into two sections. "Laamee! What kind of name is that? The Young King's Sanctuary? The Harem's Boudoir!? Aren't we talking about the house and not the room? Psh!"

"Shhh! Shhh!" Nixie says, pressing his index finger against his lips to silence him.

Then they all looked at him strangely before continuing, "The things from a bygone era are now classics of all time! You're not even a woman, what do you know? Kill and sex? Shoo! Shoo!"

"Whoa, Whoa!? What an absurd blow, dear! Alright, alright! I'll leave the renovations to all of you since the people are already here, I'm better off now, mi Amores," Cydrix laughed as he kissed their lips one by one after seeing the Seeker's Guild members arrive.

Then he went outside the Shelter to absorb more Spark because expanding his field to shorten the Main System 0's start-up time will be more difficult once he starts school.

Back to the present.

Cydrix is fleeing while creating some false tracks that lead nowhere to confuse the girls.

Back when he was hunting near Mt. Bombon, he discovered a small crevice that could fit his own child's body.

Normally, everyone who sees this will disregard it. However, because Cydrix has MSAIA0 assisting him, it was discovered that it can lead to a natural Spark Rubies cave.

For one year while doing some solo missions, he stayed inside for a total of thirteen hours per week because he was heavily monitored by the government at the time. He doesn't mind how limited his free time is if it means gaining the government's full trust.

That at the same time, even though he has Prana at his disposal and is far more powerful than the Spark, he is still indebted to the system for doing everything in its power to save his soul.

He is unconcerned about how he obtained the system, who sent it to him, or what the catch is.

As a result, he is attempting to find some time to fully extend the absorption field to the maximum meters where the Spark is abundant, as this is faster than hunting and plundering the stronger Deviants' Sparks.

Now, he will use it as a hideout while hunting some Deviants around with traces of 'tantrums' to warn the people of the government that he is in a bad mood and they should leave for the time being or else their cultivated Sparks will be dispersed for 'good'.

He didn't have to worry about his fiancees chasing him because this location was not only heavily watched by himself, but it was also known as his usual place for him to release his 'tantrums.' He reasoned that his body was still maturing and that some hormones were still so active, causing his matured mind to do childish things.

Of course, he does this to weaken the government's guards, which has already aided him a couple of times.

There were so many powerful Deviants in this place that anything higher than Platinum rank had already vanished. Two years of no physical contact was sufficient for the girls to achieve the Low and Intermediate Grades of the Green Level of Gold Ranks.

After a round of running around to confuse the girls, he entered the crevice and traveled less than thirty minutes to the part of the cave where the Rubies are located.

Because the pathway is too narrow, except for him and Avery that has A cup chest, the rest can't go in.

If! If they did hold back destroying the cave though just to catch him.
