Harem God: Leveling Up Yanderes in the Apocalypse

"Next up, we have the Sexy Lingerie Pillow Fight!" Leon yelled.

The haremites participating gave the sky wry smiles.

Those who got unique-grade panties at the Apocalypse Party understood their value. As a result, eighty-four haremites signed up.

Now they had to strip down, change into their lingerie, and show off their bodies to all the candidates and gods on God Display.

Thankfully they wouldn't be filmed in the changing room.

It was horrifying that the gods had to clarify that.

"While most powerful women here wouldn't get caught dead doing something like this on camera, they'll all receive epic-grade bras and panties." Leon continued.

"To put things into perspective, my partners have panties that increase their health and stamina by a considerable margin and give them charm stats.

There's only one word that describes such an item: cheat.

If you saw the stats on these garments, you'd be in this arena too!"

The haremites burst into laughter, staring at his cheeky smile.

"But guess what, candidates!" Leon yelled.

"The gods love Harem City and are unreserved in their favoritism.

So if you come here, you'll get opportunities to get priceless items for doing things this inconsequential!"

Every participant's face brightened when Leon whipped the audience into a frenzy. He had twisted the situation into the most rational decision possible.

Everyone felt guilty for scoffing at his awkward labeling of the event and was now grateful. Once again, his phobia worked out in their favor.

"Let's explain the prizes." Leon continued.

"There are ten awards tonight, and they're not bound to a single participant.

The first four are [best moment awards] that apply gifts to everyone involved.

The moment awards are as follows. The most loveable, adorable, humorous, and sexiest moments.

There are also awards for the best demonstration of skill, the wildest competitor, the most amusing participant, and the strongest showcase of teamwork.

There's an award for the best group scenario, which applies to everyone in a group of ten or more.

Lastly, there's the god's choice award.

Everyone can win awards tonight, so don't be shy about getting involved! There's more value to this event than getting epic-grade undergarments!

The gods were shameless and incentivized the hell out of this event."

Every participant burst into excited cheers, and the haremites that didn't get involved were increasingly bitter.

They didn't get involved thinking that they didn't have a chance because Leon didn't explain the rules.

However, that was on purpose. He wanted people to trust that he wouldn't ask them to do something if it wasn't beneficial to them.

"Let's get this party started. Everyone has 5 minutes to get undressed and moved to the floor." Leon announced.

Once he completed his job as the announcer, he turned around.

"Caitlyn, Lindy, and Tricksie. I received a notification saying that you're getting pairs as influencers." Leon announced.

"However, the gods are interested in you, Reina. So let's give them a show, shall we?"

Reina's eyes lit up in surprise. "Me? I'm not sure. I'm not really sexy, you know?"

"You don't have to be [sexy] tonight." Leon grinned, "With your acting skills, I'm certain that you can slay the competition for the skill and cuteness awards."

Her eyes lit up in surprise. "I'm not really good at acting, but I'll try my best—"

He frowned in annoyance, but she continued without pause.

"—but I'll try my best. I need a strategy, though. I'm not very good at that stuff."

Leon's eyes lit up, and he gave her a devious smile. "That's what I like to hear. Here's what I'm thinking for the strategy; you can switch it up or improvise."

…

Eighty-four haremites entered the four arena gates simultaneously.

The audience gasped when they entered the area. Many were glowing, and everyone in the audience got attracted to the competitors.

It showcased the insane power of epic-grade underwear and its influence on people.

Those who didn't sign up regretted their decision not to participate further.

Leon immediately began announcing the competitors.

"If you look closely, you'll see two of the most hardcore sisters in Harem City." He announced.

"They're dark elves with neon green eyes and badass skills. They're the epitome of joining a battle for rational reasons. Give it up for the twins Zora and Zena!"

The crowd exploded into applause. They were excited to see them participating, as promised.

Zora and Zena were as lifeless as ever. They had snow-white lace lingerie with patterns of leaves and tree branches on them.

It highlighted their neon green eyes, dark skin, and white hair. Their bodies were small yet extremely tone.

"Next up, the cutest and most universally loved cat woman in Harem City!" Leon yelled, "Give it up for Mindy Lasco!"

The haremites burst into uncontrollable screams and applause.

Mindy had a bright smile as she ran to the arena's center playfully.

Everyone knew her because she ran the kitchen, the most vital aspect of Harem City. So she quickly became the city's second mascot.

Her pink and white underwear highlighted her fluffy white ears and made her pink hair pop.

"I'll bring your attention to five dragon women that steal the show every time they're around!" Leon roared.

"They're walking together and have underwear matching their hair colors. Give it up for the dragon squad!"

The stadium went wild at the five dragon women, who usually wore kimonos. Unbeknownst to Leon, that was about to change.

The dragon woman that stood out the most was Feris, whose green hair and golden eyes popped against the light green underwear she had.

Her bright smile and humble demeanor caught people's attention as she walked to the center. She humbly thanked everyone who cheered with a cute smile.

Feris was like a magnet that no one had noticed before.

Kira, the blonde kleptomaniac, walked into the crowd with a bright smile, sneaking glances at everyone's underwear and breasts with envy hiding behind her smiling blue eyes.

She had lost her fame after the Paradise Road event, so no one noticed her.

Worse, Leon didn't call her out. It irked her something savage, but she didn't mention anything.

"There's a fox woman that everyone has already looked at, so there's no point in drawing your attention." Leon grinned.

"Give it up for the seductive woman that captivates everyone with her charm. FOXY!"

The crowd sent out whistles and cheers. Most people didn't know her, but everyone had seen her at least once. Now they saw her in her element.

Foxy walked in black lingerie that made her orange and golden ears pop.

She strolled into the arena with absolute confidence, swiveling her hips in a sexy walk that captivated the audience.

Her normal playful countenance was gone, and only a charming, seductive image remained, drawing in the male watchers like moths to a flame.

"There's one woman that's impossible not to highlight." Leon announced.

"She's the fairy sparkingly and doing figure eights in the sky with a tiny pillow.

Despite her cute appearance, she's a veteran with the power to simultaneously heal dozens of injured haremites. Give it up for Fritz!"

Everyone exploded with applause. The gift notifications for Fritz exploded like a machine gun, rapidly ticking down until they got blocked.

The 2-foot tall fairy was wearing pink polka dot underwear.

Unlike human children, Fritz had the body of a fully grown woman at 2 feet. As a result, she was half as wide as children and proportionate.

So her underwear was extremely small and cute to the point of absolute adoration.

Fritz glowed when she was flying, so the charm stat made her alluring beyond reason.

Now she was sparkling on purpose with a magical technique and captivating everyone with her bright smile.

"Last but not least, a clumsy woman that's very close to me." Leon grinned.

"She may be quirky, but she always tries her best and comes out on top. Everyone, give it up with the quirk queen, Reina!"

The haremites exploded in applause. While most people didn't know her, they knew she saved Leon and Harem City from an impending calamity.

Combined with her closeness to the leader, everyone erupted in cheers when the woman with blue striped panties walked onto the stage.

"Contrary to expectations, she's the only person wearing normal mortal underwear." He pointed out.

"So it'll be interesting to see how she competes in a sexy pillow fight!"

Everyone turned to her in surprise and cheered in bewilderment.

Reina didn't attract much attention at first. She walked in with a blushing face, awkwardly walking with her absentminded expression, watching everyone.

People were used to her klutzy demeanor and found her participation charming.

However, she instantly started making a huge commotion that captivated everyone present, caught on God Display.

Reina watched Foxy with a blushing expression and awkwardly attempted to copy her behavior.

Her clumsy attempts made everyone instantly fall in love with her.

However, after several failed attempts she hung her head in shame.

The haremites burst into delighted laughter, and the gifting notifications rolled in.

Reina got up with a determined expression and looked around, finding someone else to copy.

Seeing her determination, the haremites showered her with encouraging praise.

Reina blushed and nodded thankfully, recognizing their support. Then she looked into the sky and watched Fritz ice skating in the sky, doing jump twirls with the pillows.

She tried it herself and tripped, falling onto the mattress.

Everyone burst into cheers and applause again. Reina's lovability status was suffocating and caused nonstop laughter.

Leon grinned at her behavior. She was murdering the competition, constantly hogging the God Display.

After shamelessly giving her time to capture everyone's attention, he stood up to start the match.

"Ladies and gods!" Leon yelled, "Feast your eyes on the city's most lovable and rational women. Now, without further delay, let the sexy pillow fight begin!"

The pillow fight instantly devolved into a comedic clusterfuck. No one knew who to watch because the different fighting approaches were polarizing and equally entertaining.

Zora and Zena were the first to attract everyone's attention.

"I'd like to draw everyone's attention to the most rational women in Harem City." Leon laughed while wiping false tears from his eyes.

Zena hit her sister with the lightest and most unenthusiastic pillow hit imaginable. Her sister returned the hit with an equally halfhearted pillow strike.

Then they immediately walked to the wall, feeling content to have the epic-grade underwear.

The twins sat down with their knees against their chest, waiting with bored expressions.

Everyone burst into wild applause and laughter, and the sisters smiled when they got gift notifications but returned to their normal countenance a moment later.

Meanwhile, Fritz dazzled people with her actions. She flew around the battlefield, spinning in the air and lightly hitting haremites with her tiny pillow.

Everyone thought she had the fight in the bag.

However, the tables turned when she hit Foxy, who was bouncing up and down on the mattress, playfully engaged in a pillow fight with three women.

Fritz swung her pillow at Foxy's head, but the pillow passed through it. She spun forward in shock, braced for a crash landing.

Foxy dropped her pillow instantly and caught the fairy woman.

"Hahahaha! St-stop it! Haha… p-please, st-hahaha!" Fritz cried as Foxy tickled the poor woman.

The scene made the arena explode in giggles and applause. Everyone was laughing as hard as the fairy.

"Are you gonna take that, Fritz?" Lindy screamed excitedly.

Foxy released the fairy with a giggle and awaited retaliation.

Fritz huffed indignantly and hit the fox woman in the cheek with a halfhearted strike in response.

After a second of stunned silence, the crowd exploded in laughter, and the two women giggled.

The haremites didn't stand around. They clobbered the two with pillows, causing the laughter to become delirious.

A pillow fight broke out immediately after, delighting everyone.

"Everyone, draw your attention to the dragon squad!" Leon yelled, "They're proving the power of unity and acceptance!"

The five stood around in a group hitting each other with slight smiles.

They weren't doing much, but what captivated everyone was how accepting and honorable they were.

As nervous haremites hit them slightly, hoping to get attention, they moved aside to let them into the circle.

Within thirty seconds, they developed a massive dance circle-sized ring of women.

Fifty participants joined in a matter of minutes, stunning everyone.

Reina walked up to the group nervously.

"Can I join you guys?" She asked Feris with a timid, hopeful smile.

"Of course!" Feris said with a cute smile, moving aside for Reina to come through.

The brunette nodded, walked into the group, and then looked at Fritz, who gave a triple attack on Foxy with a triple spin.

She immediately tried doing the same, spinning around while jumping on the mattress.

When she hit a person, the kinetic force shift caused her to fall to the ground clumsily.

The haremites went wild as she was caught on God Display doing it. She blushed and looked away with a cute smile.

Feris giggled and went to help her up, but a haremite tried striking her from the back.

"Mirror Barrier!" Reina cried while squeezing her eyes shut.

A silver barrier wall formed behind Feris.

The haremite hit the barrier, and the pillow bounced back, sending it crashing back into her nose.

Everyone fell silent for a moment before bursting into wild laughter, kicking the air while clutching their stomachs.

Reina released her barrier with a slight blush, awkwardly meeting praise from the audience.

Thinking there was cooldown time, the haremite heated up with a flushed expression, pretended to strike Feris from another direction, and swung at the brunette instead.

However, Reina threw up a quirky barrier with lightning speed.

All hell broke loose a split second later.

[A/N: Hey there! Long time no talk. The love I get from this community is vibrant and makes me want to return, but this novel is emotionally difficult to write.

So I've compromised and started writing a wild, early-HG-style yandere comedy called "Yandere Royale" [for you] with lovable women who are next-level insane. It's a total clusterfuck.

I don't want to jeopardize PlayCult's success after crushing win-win, so I wrote it under another pseudonym, DreamLyNx. If that doesn't scream [this is for you], I don't know what will.

Much love, everyone. I've been thinking about you daily. Sincerely, Margrave]
