2025-09-15 06:07:14Johnny shot upright, eyes wide. His mind was still stuck on the million dollars.
“Vixen! This… this is real?!”
[As real as the sun. And this is only the beginning, if you choose to accept me fully.]
A laugh burst out of him, half disbelief, half excitement.
“Accept you? Hell yeah. You bet your sweet ass I’m in!”
[Good.] Vixen’s voice sounded pleased.
[You now have three hours to complete your combat training workout. Preparation is the first step toward becoming a harem lord.]
Johnny froze. “…Say what now?”
The blue screen appeared in front of him, filling his vision with absurd letters and numbers.
---

Johnny stared at it, his mouth hanging open. “What the hell is this?”
[This is your required combat quest.]
“Yeah, I heard you the first time,” Johnny groaned, rubbing his forehead.
“But there’s no way in hell I’m doing all that, right? This is a joke. It has to be.”
V.I.X.E.N. didn’t reply.
The silence felt worse than her sarcasm. Johnny shook his head and forced a laugh.
“Great. I’m talking to myself now. Guess I hit my head during the crash harder than I thought.”
He dropped back onto the stiff hospital bed and stared at the ceiling.
Minutes passed. The room stayed quiet. His fingers tapped against his leg.
Then he sat up.
“Okay… maybe I’ll test it. Just a little.” He slid off the bed and stretched lazily.
Instead of getting on the floor, he leaned against the mattress and started half-heartedly pushing off it.
“…One. Two. Three…” The numbers climbed suspiciously fast. “…Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!”
“Easy.” He clapped his hands with a proud grin.
The system screen didn’t change. Not even a blink.
[Do 100 push-ups – (Incomplete) (0/100)]
Johnny shrugged. “Yeah fuck it. At least, I tried.”
He yawned, already thinking about his million dollars. A penthouse, maybe. Or—
Sleep pulled him under, before he could complete his thought.
Tick… tick… tick…
Tick… tick… tick…
The clock on the wall crawled toward midnight.
11:59:58
11:59:59
00:00:00
A deafening RING shattered the silence.
Johnny’s eyes snapped open. The sound didn’t come from the clock. It came from the system.

[You have failed to complete the Combat Workout Quest.]
[PENALTY QUEST ACTIVATED.]

Suddenly, a massive shadow fell over his bed. Johnny felt cold before he even looked. When he did—
“Holy Fuck!!!”
As a kid, Johnny had nightmares about a three-headed dog dragging him into the dark. Now, standing above him and filling the room, was the monster from those stories.
Cerberus, the three-headed dog of the underworld.
The middle head lowered first. Its eyes glowed gold. Its lips pulled back, showing fangs longer than Johnny’s arm.
The other two heads snapped and growled. Drool hissed when it hit the floor.
Johnny’s legs moved before his brain did. He jumped out of bed without thinking.
“This isn’t real! This isn’t real!” His hospital gown flapped open in the panic, but he didn't care.
[Correction: This is very real.] Vixen said calmly, her voice steady amid the chaos.
“VIXEN!! What the hell is happening?!”
[Mandatory punishment. Fail your workout… and you are walk out of existence]
“What the hell does a giant three-headed dog have to do with push-ups?!!” Johnny screamed.
The monster lunged. Its black fur stood stiff like sharp blades, and each paw looked big enough to crush him.
Johnny ran. He sprinted down the hallway barefoot, his hospital gown flapping behind him like a cape.
Cerberus burst through the wall like paper, its steps shaking the ground. Its heads snapped at him, teeth slamming shut just behind his back.
Johnny dashed past nurse stations, a glimpse of movement caught his eye—the hot nurse from earlier, bending over to pick up a dropped chart, when her skirt flipped up from the sudden gust of his run.
She gasped, cheeks flaming red, tugging it down as she straightened, but Johnny was already gone, heart racing from more than fear.
Then Johnny noticed something.
The nurses. The patients. The doctors. None of them screamed. None of them even looked.
They all walked calmly like nothing was there.
Johnny stopped and spun around, heart pounding. “Wait… am I the only one seeing this?”
Johnny clenched his fists and stood his ground.
NO MORE RUNNING
Cerberus leapt. All three heads came down at once on him.
“AHHHHHHHH!!!”
Johnny screamed as its fangs tore into his arm and shoulder.
Hot pain exploded through him. Blood splashed across the clean white floor.
“Fuck!! This… this isn’t just in my head.”

Chapter 199: The Black Circle
"Then start talking." Johnny's voice was bone-chillingly calm. There was no explosive anger, no theatrical shouting—just a suffocating, crushing pressure that filled the room.Freddy was still on his knees, his face pale, his breathing unsteady. He looked up at Mia first, seeking permission. She gave a small nod."Before I tell you how," Freddy said slowly, "I need to tell you what the Black Circle actually is. So you understand what you're dealing with."Johnny's eyes narrowed into slits. "I don't have time for a history lesson.""I know!" Freddy nodded rapidly, sweating under the glare. "But if you go in blind, you're a dead man.""Alright, then." Johnny's jaw tightened.Freddy swallowed hard before speaking. Even saying the name seemed to make him uncomfortable."The Black Circle isn't just some street gang. It's a massive underground network. It's a syndicate built from the most powerful crime organizations in Pantheon Valley."He paused, lowering his voice as if the walls themsel
Chapter 198: Thigh High Heels
Johnny stood frozen, the breath completely trapped in his throat. For the second time that night, the ground beneath his feet had vanished.Stepping casually out of the shadows was the absolute last person he expected to see in a place like this.Mia.The very same Mia who had sat across from him at the Royal Clam just hours ago, looking him dead in the eye and weeping about carrying his child.But this time she wasn't the woman sitting across from him at the Royal Clam. She wasn't the emotional ex-girlfriend asking for another chance.She was wearing something completely different. She was wearing a black leather corset, laced tight enough to push her breasts up like an offering.She wore matching thigh-high heels with sharp silver spikes, giving her an intimidating and commanding appearance.A collar around her neck with a small ring at the front. Her lips were painted dark red, her eyeliner sharp enough to cut glass.She looked like a dominatrix who had stepped straight out of some
Chapter 197: Indeed she is
Johnny stood dead center in the Crescent Bar's entrance hall, a heavy silence dropping over the room like a lead weight.In his grip, a cold steel barrel was pressed firmly against the temple of the first security guard he’d taken down.Around him, a dozen black-suited guards stood in a tense semi-circle, their firearms trained directly on his chest.Yet, Johnny didn't flinch. His gaze swept the room, calm and calculating, picking up on a subtle detail—several guards kept cutting their eyes toward a shadowed corner of the room.Johnny slowly tracked their line of sight. An older man stood in the dim light, watching the standoff with a cool, undisturbed composure that set him apart from the twitchy guards.Their eyes locked. Johnny didn't say a word; he simply pressed the gun a fraction harder into his hostage's skull.The message was clear. The older man nodded slowly, raising a single hand in a calm, authoritative gesture. Instantly, the guards lowered their weapons."Release him," t
Chapter 196: Cresent
Johnny left the Red Room without looking back. Behind him, Kira North was probably still furious — and honestly, he couldn't blame her. She had expected him to keep his promise. He had expected himself to do the same. But Margaret was still out there, and that was the only thing that mattered. The moment he stepped into his car, the familiar blue light appeared in front of his eyes. …. [HAREM INITIATION STAGE 1 COMPLETE] Name: Kira Noir Reward: $500,000,000 Skill Reward: Harem Link …. Johnny stared at the notification. For a moment he said nothing, then let out a quiet laugh. "Seriously?" The system had a strange sense of humor. He had spent the entire time fighting against temptation, refusing to let someone use him, and yet it still counted as progress. He shook his head, a wry smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. Maybe I should have just finished what I started back there, he thought, before instantly dismissing it. No. There was no point lingering on what-ifs. He
The Edge
Johnny's back hit the wall with Kira wrapped around him. Her legs locked behind his waist. Her arms circled his neck. Her mouth found his—hungry, demanding, tasting like wine and something darker. He kissed her back because he had no choice. Because his body had taken over. Because she was warm and soft and pressing against him in all the right places. But in the back of his mind, a timer was ticking. Margaret. Every second counts. Kira pulled back just long enough to breathe. "About time you stopped fighting it." She slid down his body until her feet touched the floor. Then she pushed his jacket off his shoulders. Her fingers worked the buttons of his shirt with practiced ease, and soon the fabric fell away, exposing his chest. Her eyes traveled down his body. She bit her lower lip. "You've been holding out on me, Johnny Steele." He didn't answer. He couldn't. She pushed him toward the bed. The silk sheets were cool against his back. Kira climbed on top of him,
Chapter 194: Kira's Temptation
Johnny froze. For a moment he forgot why he'd rushed there.Kira Noir lay before him like she owned every second of the room. Her robe hung open, exposing every inch of her bronze skin.Her breasts were full and heavy, her nipples dark and already hard. The curve of her waist dipped into hips that seemed designed to be gripped.One leg was bent, her thigh catching the dim red light, leading his eyes to places he tried very hard not to stare at.She was a MILF in every sense of the word. Mature. Confident. Dangerous.And completely, utterly naked.She wasn't just beautiful — she had the kind of presence that made people stop and stare without realizing they were doing it, and her confident smile made it clear she knew exactly the effect she had on him.Johnny felt himself stiffen instantly. His mouth went dry and gaze lingered for a second too long before reality slammed back into his chest like a physical blow.Focus. Margaret. Focus.He forcibly tore his eyes away, his voice cracking
