Maxver leaned back in the passenger seat of his brand new S rank flying car, a sleek black machine that moved through the air like a blade cutting silk, and stared at the notification blinking on his light brain with the kind of frustration a man feels when he discovers the express lane existed the whole time.
[Collective Purification: Unlocked. Host may now purify up to 50 one star clients simultaneously in a single session. Efficiency multiplier: x3. Merit Point bonus: x2.]
"You're telling me I could have been purifying fifty women at once this entire time?" His voice came out flat, the kind of calm that sits right on top of genuine annoyance. "I spent the whole day doing them one by one like some kind of assembly line worker, and you didn't think to mention this?"
[The system was undergoing a feature rollout. Collective Purification required calibration based on host performance data. Your forty nine individual sessions provided the necessary benchmarks. You should be proud of your contribution to system optimization.]
"Proud?" Maxver pinched the bridge of his nose. "I burned through seventy percent of my mental power doing retail when I could have been doing wholesale."
[Host's dedication is truly admirable. The system is deeply moved by your work ethic. Truly. Deeply.]
"You're flattering me to make me shut up."
[Is it working?]
Maxver exhaled through his teeth and opened the Purification channel on his light brain. Fine. What was done was done. No point crying over wasted sessions when the future was sitting right there waiting to be booked.
He set up two new batches. The first was a collective one star purification, fifty slots at ninety to ninety five percent pollution. The second was a set of individual two star sessions, seven slots, for women whose contamination required more focused attention.
Both batches filled before he finished blinking.
His light brain immediately flooded with StarNet alerts. The trending page was on fire.
[Maxver Cole just opened COLLECTIVE purification slots. 50 women at once. This man is not human.]
[He did 49 sessions yesterday and he's already back for more? Does he sleep? Does he eat? Someone check on this man.]
[I got into the collective batch. I AM SHAKING. My hands won't stop. Someone hold me.]
[Two star individual sessions too? The man is branching out. My two star friend just booked one and she is literally crying in the bathroom at work right now.]
Maxver closed the feed and turned his attention to something he'd been ignoring all day. His friend request list.
Five names sat there, glowing softly. His matched wives.
He accepted them one by one.
Sienna Blake's message came through first, and it arrived like someone had been hovering over the send button for hours.
[Hi! This is Sienna. I'm so happy to be matched with you. I can't wait to meet you in person. I'm packing right now and I should be able to arrive within the week. Is there anything you'd like me to bring? I want to make a good first impression!]
Maxver smiled. Eager, polite, and already thinking about what he needed. A world of difference from his previous household, where the only thing his ex wives brought home was contempt.
He typed back a warm reply, telling her to take her time and that he looked forward to meeting her.
The second message was from Autumn Reyes, and it was significantly more direct.
[Hello, Master Cole. I'm Autumn. Five star Nine Tailed Fox, surgeon at Mount Sinai. I've already taken leave from the hospital. If you don't mind, I'd like to come over tonight. I stopped by the market on the way home and picked up groceries. I can cook.]
Attached to the message was a photo. Not of herself. Of grocery bags, neatly arranged on a kitchen counter, alongside a handwritten menu listing six different home cooked dishes.
Maxver stared at that photo for a long time. A woman who didn't send a selfie but sent a picture of dinner. A woman whose first instinct wasn't to show him how beautiful she was but to show him what she could do for him.
"System, I think I'm in love."
[Host's heart rate has increased. System recommends accepting her offer immediately.]

Chapter 10
Across the street, Cassidy Jansen stood at the living room window with her arms crossed and her auburn hair still damp from watering the garden. Her eyes were locked on the villa opposite, where a light had just turned on in the second floor window."That man moved in today." Her voice carried the kind of flat distaste usually reserved for discovering mold in the refrigerator. "Maxver Cole. Right across from us. Of all the houses in Silver Oak, they put him twenty meters from our front door."Wyatt Jansen sat on the couch behind her, his long legs stretched out, a glass of mineral water resting on his knee. He was tall, broad shouldered, with the effortless calm of a man who had never once questioned his place in the world. His five beast wives orbited around the living room in various states of evening relaxation."He's been quiet since he moved in." Wyatt's voice was low and uninterested. "I don't see the problem.""The problem is what he used to do." Skylar, a four star White Tiger

"For once, we agree." He typed back quickly, telling Autumn she was welcome tonight and that he would leave the garage code with the butler.Winter Hayes messaged next, her tone careful and respectful.[Mr. Cole, this is Winter. I'm honored by the match. I'm currently stationed at a coastal outpost for work and won't be able to travel to New York for approximately two weeks. I hope that's acceptable. I don't want to cause any inconvenience.]Maxver told her there was no rush, that he appreciated her letting him know, and that he'd keep her room ready whenever she arrived. A staggered arrival was better anyway. Getting to know five women at once sounded like a recipe for chaos.Chloe Bennett had accepted the friend request but sent nothing. Radio silence. Maxver didn't push it. Some people needed time.Riley Shaw hadn't even accepted yet. Given what the system had shown him about her location, she was probably still fighting exotic beasts in the Nevada desert. He'd worry about her late

Over the next hour, six more women walked through that door, and six more women walked out looking like they'd been reborn.Each one arrived nervous. Each one left crying with relief. A two star sparrow beastkin who hadn't been able to fly in eight months because her pollution locked her wings. A one star deer who had been rejected from three jobs in a row. A one star cat whose hands shook so badly from contamination buildup that she couldn't hold a cup without spilling.Maxver cleared them all. Sixty five percent drops, every single time, bringing each one down to thirty percent in a single session. The green light flowed from his hands like it was the most natural thing in the world, and his mental power gauge barely moved. S rank reserves were deep. Deeper than he'd imagined."System, I've done seven. How much mental power have I used?"[Current mental power consumption: 12%. Host has significant capacity remaining.]"Then open fourteen more slots. Same parameters. One star, ninety

The signal died completely. Riley pressed her back against the barricade, looked at the golden notification still glowing behind her left eye, and made herself a promise that she was getting out of this desert alive if it was the last thing she did.Back in New York, Maxver's flying car touched down on the rooftop landing pad of the city's central Purification Center, a towering glass structure in Midtown that looked like a five star hotel from the outside and smelled like one on the inside.The director met him personally at the elevator. A short, energetic man named Dr. Park who shook Maxver's hand with both of his and didn't let go for an uncomfortably long time."Mr. Cole, we are honored. Truly honored. An S rank male using our facility is the kind of publicity money cannot buy." Dr. Park walked him down a wide corridor lined with frosted glass doors. "I've prepared our finest Purification Room for you. Top floor, full amenities, everything you could possibly need."The room was e

Across four different corners of the country, four light brains chimed at almost the exact same moment.Autumn Reyes was elbow deep in a patient's chest cavity when the notification hit. The surgical theater at Mount Sinai's beast trauma wing was bright and sterile, and her nine fox tails were bound tightly behind her in a medical wrap to keep them clear of the operating field. Her assistant, a young two star rabbit beastkin named Phoebe, noticed the golden pulse behind Autumn's left eye before Autumn did."Dr. Reyes, your light brain just went off. Should I check it?""Read it to me. My hands are busy." Autumn's voice was steady, her fingers working with the calm precision of someone who had performed this procedure a thousand times.Phoebe accessed the mirrored display. Her ears shot straight up. "It's from the Matching Center. You've been matched with an S rank male named Maxver Cole. Compatibility rating is one hundred percent."Autumn's hands stopped moving. Just for a second. Th
