Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Like a mouse in a field of lions, I began to shiver with fear. While my girls were adorable most of the time. When they were angry, they didn't just let me off the hook with words.

The last time they were upset... They beat the crap out of me. It was only yesterday, but just as I had a bottom line, the Sirens had theirs.

If mine was to make was the Sirens to get hurt. Theirs was in the same way to ensure my safety. And right now, I was sure they were pissed.

'What the fuck did I do?'

While men were mostly logical, women weren't. They operated in a different world, so to speak. Filled with feminine shit that wouldn't even make sense to most men. Many have tried to map the brains of the fairer sex, only to learn that they do not know shit.

At times like this, I remember the wise worlds of my adoptive father. It was the time I was hanging out on his porch and Noelle got mad for some reason. I had forgotten what my mom was bitching about, but Earl listened and ended up just apologizing.

And somehow Noelle lost her anger and just started flirting with him again. After she left, I remember myself asking. "Why did you take all that, Pa?"

His answer forever shaped my understanding of marriage. Earl shared a golden nugget that I remember to this very day.

"It's not about who is right or wrong, John. What matters in a marriage is love."

"Love?"

"You may forget that sometimes because of the day-to-day stuff. But whenever we get into a fight, I just ask myself. Would I die for this woman?"

"If my answer is still yes, then whatever nonsense she says makes no difference. Of course, I am not perfect, but no marriage is without its problems. What remains true is that I would never put anything above your Ma. Not my pride, not my comfort, not my right to be right.

"The moment she understands that, she calms down. Remember son. When you meet the one you want to make your queen, always ask yourself, "Would I die for this woman? If the answer is yes. Then that will guide you as to what you should do."

Would I die for you?

It was a simple statement. But it was the ultimate expression of love. In a selfish and deceitful world, it was the one thing that could not be faked.

Many have searched for such love.

But few are blessed to ever find it.

I thought I felt that way about Caroline.

During the times she was angry because I cheated on her in her dreams.

When she asked stupid questions like, "Would you still love me as your wife if I were a goldfish?" or the even stupider version, "If I were a tree, would you dedicate your life to taking care of me?"

Your journey continues on m-vle-mpyr

I mean, what the hell, woman? I was a human man in that situation! Why the hell would I love a goldfish or a fucking tree? And the sad part was, if I answered logically, I would get the cold shoulder.

But through it all, I kept remembering Earl's advice. Would I die for this woman? And the during those moments the answer was always yes. So even though I didn't agree with all of her decisions, I always supported her.

I even gave up part of my future so that she could have hers. But when she betrayed me. I remember wavering.

'Would I die for this woman? I... I am no longer sure.'

When she broke my heart. I thought I had, but I knew deep down that the answer was no longer yes.

Funnily enough, when I became aware of my own feelings for the Sirens. That was what I asked myself.

When I learned of their atrocities?

Yes.

When I learned of their sins?

Still a yes.

Even when I learned of the enemies I would make and the burdens I would have to bear?

Still a 100% yes.

I was sure. Ever since that vision. The Sirens and I were meant to die together. My soul trembled at the thought of anything else. But if there was a way for them to survive in my place. Of course I would take it.

My pseudo kindred link with the Sirens shared how they felt. They were afraid. Of what, I was not yet sure. But the rabid stares right now were a product of that fear.

So it was my responsibility as their partner and master of this harem to respond to their feelings.

"Everyone. Calm down." I ordered with death resonance.

Immediately, the girls all faltered and lost their sharp glares. It was surprising how much death resonance I could muster. Did this mean that I had killed the most of the eight of us?

When they all calmed down, I sat away from the bed and asked gently.

"What is wrong, is something bothering you all?"

"It's about..."

The first to speak was Lilly, looking ravishing in her sleepwear. It was semi-transparent and showed her breasts when the light hit them just right. Uncontrollably, I found myself entranced.

"Dear, eyes up here," she pointed at her face.

"Ah, sorry Lilly. I was charmed for a bit."

"Anyway. It's about the foolish bet my imbecile of a father made," Lilly continued, covering her chest with her arms.

So they knew? Like it hadn't been published a while ago.

"Honey, I knew about the bet before the broadcast. Funnily enough, the source was chatter from the Astrologer in Europe."

"Oh? The one who foresaw Jo and Jas' {Fates}?"

"Yes, the same one, Mr. Code. I intercepted a report with details of it nine hours before it was to be broadcast."

"Hmm. The Astrologer can predict the future with such accuracy, that fucking cheat!" I cried out angrily.

"Dear, focus. When Bella shared the information, we all knew it would change your attitude," Lilly said sternly.

"Anata, the chances that you would favor us being excluded from the battle are practically guaranteed."

"Darling is being overly protective after all. In fact, I told them you would even donate to the Saviors just to keep us out."

"It's Possum, of course he is like that. For us, you would willingly give up the 24th floor to the enemy."

"Husband's love is so great. He would fight a Revenant if we asked him to," Jasmine added, blushing.

"But do not mistake us for pathetic women, my love. We have steeled ourselves to follow you into the deepest hells and beyond."

"That's why we decided that no matter what you say, Honey. The Sirens would do everything in our power to join you even one second sooner."

"..."

I see. It would have been great if the Sirens were obedient housewives.

But they were not like that. Unlike women who showed their illogical side by asking silly questions. These girls showed their insanity by wanting to fight a war by my side.

"Would you die for me?" I asked plainly.

"Yes."X7

An immediate and unanimous answer. There was no other factor. No excuse and no condition. These women were crazy. Their love for me trumped everything, even their own futures.
