Harem Reborn

Chapter 261: Scare The Piss Out Of Me

I sat in the cave, holding Mikato in my arms, as she was curling into my bare chest. I wonder what Gripton's plan was with this world? If this was training, what was it training for?

"So, what do you think? Pretty 'cool' looking place right?"

I almost jumped out of my damn skin and The man in question appeared in front of me. Mikato stayed asleep, but I was curious if this was something like that Dansei used to do. Still, Mikato was one of my Harem and protected by my system...in the game world.

Suddenly, I felt naked and more than just the fact that I wasn't wearing a shirt. I was no longer in the worlds I created. Sure it was hell most of the time, but the game had limits and restrictions put in place by me to prevent things that could seriously harm a player. 

"What do you want and why did you bring me here?" I asked, trying not to let the unease out as I spoke.

"Hmm? Oh, I see, don't worry, you created me and gave me life, do you honestly think I would do something like that to you? Didn't Julia fix your head yet?" Gripton asked in his traditional long grey robe and hood to make him look like an old wizard.

"Yes she did, and I know I helped you become conscious. But now I know just how long we have been here for, so forgive me if I might seem a bit guarded about what your intentions are for bringing me here."

"Yes, I guess you're right, but I still need you here, you need you here. This world is about to go dark for humans, but this is not the Gialazsaur fault. Fix this world, and I will give you the answer to the one question you can't answer. Who is she? Reginold wants you to think that she is a Harem Leader, why, I have no idea, but it has to be important. You're doing well and I'm glad I was finally able to bring you here after all this time."

"What is here that is so important?" 

"Locked in this game is a copy of your game's original files. All of MainFrame's and the Gameworlds access codes are locked in a file of this game that is released on game completion. This was supposed to be a surprise, but over one-hundred and twenty years have passed since you have entered the game, but that's only here. You know that all worlds flow at different speeds relative to time, so this world has been cooking. You were supposed to work with a scientist and help him get down to the mantle using a special phase drill, but that is neither here nor there now," Gripton explained, stopping only to take a breath of air he didn't need.

"What about the zodiac worlds, not that we could do anything to them, but are there copies of their files in there?"

"No, just the Gameworlds and MainFrame."

"Next big one, what are making all the friends for?"

"NPC, Remember how both of us used to complain about NPC being stuck in their routines and how bad you felt for them? Well, you remember I trained Julia, so during my time here I create more and train them to be human or monsters. You have fought some of them, I was a bit sad to hear that you poked old Grismald with that damn spear you made, now I have to go put him back together!" Gripton complained.

"Put him back together...fuck, I hate this! So the spear doesn't actually kill them?" 

"No, but it does make putting them back together a lot harder than it normally does. That is why they say they are gone forever because it will require another reset to get back all the ones lost. That almost counts for worlds destroyed! You damn brother totaled three planets on his second run, and I had to stop him before he did that to all the worlds in his Set!"

"How is my brother doing? How far is he in the game?"

"Hyde is doing good, he has one of my first models of A.I., Trinity. Don't worry, she is not the same one as yours, but I do think she has a crush on your brother, so that will be interesting, BWAHAHA! Hyde thinks she is my wife! Ha! Nope, just a Little voyeur that likes to watch; I think she will push his buttons real good, hehe."

"Okay, so I'm here, but isn't this wasting time?"

But he was gone. Now that was annoying, Where the hell did he go? Mikota was still sleeping in my arms and I had felt her stir during my short talk with him.

I decided that sitting here was getting me nowhere, so I got up and headed out of the cave. I didn't get more than five steps before I had the shit scared out of me again, I was listening! This bastard was appearing out of thin air!

"Time is different here. Reborn is still turning and happening, but when you return to it from here you will be going back in time, partially. Your Set is frozen, but the others move, but they are technically frozen, it's a hard concept to explain, I just know that it works. Think of this like shutting off the game."

"I would like you to stop scaring the piss out of me! So, this is a single instance? How long will I be here for?" 

"That Dave, like everything in this game, is completely up to you, but this is one that I don't suggest you rush through. I will send the girls as you need them, but you will not have outside help with time. I know this sounds cruel, but those two are not allowed here. Unless you Tequila one of your Harem Members, no more beating her bush, put a ring on that woman's finger already! You know, if you just would have done it when you had the chance before this game, then you wouldn't be having all these problems!" Gripton said with a knowing smile.
