Harem God: Leveling Up Yanderes in the Apocalypse

BOOM!

The door to a middle-class family's home exploded after receiving a savage kick from Lindy.

Shrapnel and sawdust filled the air, making it hard to breathe. The scene could only be described as [truly unnecessary].

"If someone searches this area, they'll now see a house with a suspicious kicked-in door." Leon sighed.

He figured it would be best if they chose a location where all the houses looked the same.

That way, if they were recorded or tailed, their enemies wouldn't pinpoint them unless they were watching when they entered a house. Now they'd have some type of marker.

"I… sorry." Lindy sighed, "It's just that I want to be mad at you, but I can't be, and my brain didn't remove the emotion."

She took a deep breath and stopped right in the foyer.

"It just kicked its feet up and said [don't mind me, please continue]."

Leon squeezed her [still] bare butt, causing her to whirl around with a backhand.

When she saw who squeezed it, she screamed inwardly because she couldn't stop the attack!

Luckily, Leon could. He could have blocked it even if he wasn't superhuman. The only minor difference was that his arms would have exploded back then. Details, details.

Leon chuckled as he put her hand down. "I know I'm not the most charming, but—"

"No! No, I just, um, I'm sorry, that, I mean—"

"Don't worry about it." He said with a smile, "I'm glad. If you turned into an obsequious little kitten, I'd lose interest in you."

Lindy's anger, frustration, and horniness immediately melted into a rainbow assortment of happy emotions.

Caitlyn scoffed breathlessly, triggering Leon to squeeze her butt too.

Sarah closed her eyes inconspicuously when she saw their two perfectly carefree faces walking toward the L-couch in the main basement room.

The two looked like little puppies getting praised, fed, and cuddled simultaneously. It was as horrifying as it was envious.

Leon took note of Sarah's expressions. He had questions but now wasn't the time.

"Alright. Lindy, please take a shower, or… a hot cyclone or something." Leon chuckled, "I'm sure you're looking forward to covering up."

Lindy looked down and turned bright red to the tip of her ears. For the first time in almost an hour, she remembered that she was [still] wearing no pants or panties.

Changing was never an option, so being aware of it wasn't very useful.

"I-I…."

"And oh… here are your…."

Leon groaned.

—

Congratulations! You have stored your first trophy!

Trophy: Lindy Crestfall's panties (light purple w/ cute bow)

If you make the trophy a permanent Trophy of Conquest, your bond will increase with your member, and you will receive a first-time reward.

Would you like to convert Lindy Crestfall's panties (light purple w/ cute bow) into a Trophy of Conquest? [Y/N]

—

"Here are my what?" Lindy asked in confusion.

He looked up to find everyone staring at him.

Leon sighed. "You handed me your panties during your bonding period with Caitlyn, and my interface stored them as a trophy.

I was trying to take them back, but it's saying that our bond and levels will increase, and I'll get a first-time bonus if—"

Leon looked down in bewilderment when he felt a strange sensation. When he did, he found a pair of pink panties in his hand, and Caitlyn looked at him with expectant eyes.

"When did you…."

"W-Wait!" Lindy cried.

Leon turned to her with a pained expression, expecting to get grilled. "Yes?"

"I gave him [my] panties first!" Lindy snapped, "You can't just steal the bonding bonus because my noble sacrifice was deemed reward-worthy!"

"Noble sacrifice?" Caitlyn scoffed, "That hardly qualified as a desperate hoe charge."

"If you weren't so powerful, you'll be drowning 80 layers deep in slut shaming." Lindy yelled, "But you are powerful, so you're beautiful. I love you, and your panties look really nice on your butt. You should keep them on."

"Ladies…." Leon said in confusion, "Caitlyn, Lindy is on camera without panties. Since I was technically a part of that, and the reward is coincidental, we should give it to her."

Caitlyn pouted while pawing his wrist.

Leon sighed. "And I'll keep your panties as a Trophy of Conquest. Our bond will increase, I just won't get a first-time bonus."

Caitlyn's eyes lit up, and she hugged Leon. He chuckled in response and turned back to Lindy.

"I'm graciously accepting your panties as a trophy of conquest." Leon announced, "Now, please wash yourself up and try finding some clothes in this home.

Statistically, there's a 50% chance women's clothing is in this home. However, male clothing is equally good."

Lindy looked hesitant, triggering a deep breath from Leon.

"Lindy. I'm only interested in intelligent women who can contribute to our survival." Leon added, "Look at Caitlyn. She's still wearing my baggy t-shirt, and I'm viciously attracted to her. Now go."

Lindy's eyes lit up with excitement, and she quickly pranced to the nearest bathroom.

"Okay… let's shop for bait." He said in an exhausted tone as Caitlyn cuddled up on the couch with him like a cat.

Leon chose to decide on the panties later. For now, he wanted to finish the event and collect his rewards.

Ding! [Congratulations for winning the public event: Beast Overclock! Your members will receive a bonus experience once you have claimed your rewards.

Event: Beast Overclock

Status: Victorious

Reward: Choice of Select Skill, Item, Or Contract from the Golden Vault

Would you like to choose your reward now? [Y/N]

-

Welcome to the Golden Vault, the god's main shared treasury for God's Trial!

Congratulations! The gods have given you a choice reward of the following grade: Legendary.

Note: Leon Traxler and his party are the first to win a public event with a 10% chance of survival or lower in this century's God Trial and did so while collecting every bonus.

He also won a side battle against another candidate using primarily his own power. Lastly, his party earned [two] historical achievement awards.

Therefore, we reward Leon Traxler and his party with a legendary item.

Options:

1. Skill: Savage Clapback - Legendary. The insults the user shoots at enemies physically damage an enemy's heart. The more savage the insult, the more deadly it becomes.

Note: the enemy must declare their intention to harm the user. Insults must come as a response to a statement or actions by the enemy.

2. Item: Teleportation Crystal - Legendary. Transports the user and their party to a location is announced as part of an event (unless moving to the location is part of a trial).

3. Contract: Small God's Favor - Legendary. The user may call upon any god they have a relationship with as a small favor. Note: A "small" favor from a [god] is very subjective.

—

Leon sighed when he saw the options. Every option provided was incredible! However, he only had one.

The teleportation crystal was irrelevant because he figured Small God's Favor could accomplish travel. After all, it would be much better if he showed up in Ares Chariot and helped his harem members off it.

Getting challenged and assassinated from jealousy wasn't ideal. However! There are some things that a person [must] do, regardless of how unbelievably impractical or dangerous they are.

"You don't do things because you want to; you do them for the story." Leon chuckled.

"Hmmm? What was that, babe?" Caitlyn asked while snuggling him.

"Oh, I was just thinking about how I plan to show you off to everyone regardless of the consequences." He replied with a genuine tone.

Caitlyn squealed with delight, and Leon hugged her slightly before continuing.

The scene left Sarah perplexed.

She realized Leon was never a sociopath; he was a psychopath. The difference was in the individual's ability to act normally and charm others.

Between his phobia and his constant dedication to his image, he seemed as normal as they came. Watching him drop Timothy, kill Mazon, and order Anya's death without emotion proved he wasn't.

Many people she knew turned into killers or worse when the apocalypse broke out. However, people like Timothy looked like emotional trainwrecks.

Leon left crime scenes with the same ambivalence he showcased when he arrived. It was errie.

Yet… when it came to her members, he seemed completely normal. Did his power give [him] genuine emotions and trust for his members?

More specifically, did it [force him to accept and trust his members]?

That was what she desperately wanted to know.

Sarah averted her gaze quickly when she saw Leon's eyes on her. She was in his blindspot, so his gaze was very intentional. It sent chills down her spine.

Satisfied by the reaction he got, Leon continued.

"I'm choosing the Savage Clapback skill." He whispered, "With my giga-chad skills, this is a powerful weapon I can use forever."

Ding! [You have learned the skill….]

"Moving on. Let's hope there's some tasty narcissist bait." Leon grinned.

His strategy was simple: find something he desperately wanted.
