WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHER TRANSMIGRATORS IN MY HAREM FANTASY?C26 She Is So Cool
It was all thanks to my own instinct and also my [Shadow Glide] that I was even able to move out of the way before the arrow pierced through my head.
I immediately activated [Shadow Wall] again, allowing myself to disappear into the darkness and retreating from the asshole.
I tried leaping up into the sky, only to find that I couldn't no matter how I flapped my wings.
I quickly realised that he must have controlled the air around this area to prevent me from gaining any lift under my wings to fly.
Just as that thought came to mind, my air supply was also suddenly cut off as no air was allowed into my lungs.
This son of a bitch…
I sent out one of my max percentage summons to charge at him, letting her equip a pair of daggers and some leather armour made of shadows.
At the same time, I made a dash in the opposite direction, my shadow summon only managing to dodge the first arrow shot at her before the second arrow pierced through her neck, instantly dispersing her into nothingness.
The area of effect for his stupid air spell was relatively big, too big for a normal person to escape the radius before running out of breath.
Thankfully, I am experienced in moving through this terrain and I had [Shadow Glide] to speed up my movements too, allowing me to escape before I started to pass out.
I gasped as air finally reentered my lungs, breathing in lungfuls of air.
There was no time to rest as I ducked my head, avoiding another arrow that would have skewered me from the back of my head.
I cursed under my breath, spreading my wings in an attempt to fly.
A jolt of pain came from my back as I realised he had caught up to me, kicking me in the back to send me crashing against a nearby tree.
I rolled away onto my feat, barely missing the impossibly fast arrows that nearly pierced me from above.
That must be his Chronomancy at work, using some kind of time manipulation to speed up his arrows.
Another arrow was shot in my direction, but this one flew too far to my right to hit me.
I glared at the trash who had already knocked another arrow with inhumanly fast movements, taking his time to aim his next shot at me.
Seriously, [Shadow Glide] and [Shadow Wall] may be simple spells but they've been proving to be extremely invaluable so far.
I'm still invisible to him, so he should be using his Aeromancy spells to guess my location by reading the movements in the air. As I was moving around quite a bit just now, he managed to pinpoint where I was accurately but not so much when I'm staying still or moving minimally.
Deciding to take a risk, I used twenty five percent of my remaining mana to cast [Shadow Summon], materialising the new summon behind the bastard.
The summon immediately swiped at his legs with a shadow dagger, managing to nick his ankle before he turned around and shot the arrow right between my summon's eyes.
I did not let that opening go to waste as I leapt into the air with my wings outstretched, already flying away from there as fast as possible.
I was most definitely not delusional enough to think I even remotely stood any chance against him with my current stats.
But before I could even flap my wings a second time, a force hit me at the side of my head, sending me crashing back down into the ground with enough force to create a large crater.
I groaned, feeling pain all over my body as I tried to recover from being kicked. The bastard could even use the wind to propel himself into the air…
He landed at the edge of the crater my crash made, an amused smirk on his face.
"I admit, I didn't think you would put up much of a fight. You picked Umbramancy didn't you? I admit it has its uses but seriously, the main strength of that magic is to rely on summons, summons that are weaker than yourself. Just numbers aren't going to save you from a stronger opponent."
I really want to disagree with him, especially if I have the time to summon a million of me to jump on him, let him decide if numbers don't mean anything then.
Instead, I croaked out, "Why?"
"Why do I want to kill you? It's my task of course. Not all the Gods are happy that we are here and the God of Death in particular doesn't like our presence in this world. I was given the task to hunt down and kill other Off-Worlders in return for more power and the promise of an afterlife that is filled with bliss."
"You would… Urk… Kill your own people?"
He snorted, "My own people? Please. Like as if humans weren't killing humans for their own selfish benefits back in our world."
"But… Why? You could… You could live a good life here… Why go to the effort to hunt others?"
That's when his smile turned feral and he lifted his bow, "It's simple really… Because it's fun."
The arrow flew straight in between my eyes, my head thrown back from the impact as the fatal blow connected with me.
All strength left my body and I felt myself collapse back on the ground, my [Shadow Wall] and [Shadow Glide] dispersing as well.
I was not dead of course. The boon [It Only Takes One] had made sure I managed to survive that death blow. My only hope is that he thinks that I am truly dead and leaves without checking.
If he does… Well… The drawback of this is that I am literally too weak to move my body right now…
I laid there, as still as I could, hoping against all hope that he wouldn't come here.
The sound of feet stepping on gravel got closer and closer to me until it stopped right beside me.
"You're not the first one I had to deal with that has the boon to escape from a death blow once, you know?"
Fuck.
I racked my head, what could I do? I was literally weak and exhausted, I couldn't even move any part of my body even if I wanted to.
Wait… I think I can use my summons that I've stored in my shadow to carry me away… Yes, I'll have a max stats summon carry me and run away while sending the rest of my summons to distract him.
Yes! This could work! I just need him to be momentarily distracted to pull this off!
I groaned as pathetically as I could and turned to him, "So… Am I… The first child you killed?"
He scoffed, "You're no child. And if this is an attempt to play at my conscience, you can save your breath, I don't feel any remorse for killing children in the first place. I am, after all, a serial killer back at our world. Ever heard of the Midnight Slasher? That was me."
The bastard who had been killing people indiscriminately at night. He got caught recently and was put on death row…
"You… Really are… Trash…"
"Well guess what? This 'trash' gets to live while you don't. How does that feel?"
"You really… Like to talk about… Yourself huh… Let me guess… You were a complete loser… In your previous life too…"
I must have been right because his face immediately scrunched up in anger, "You know nothing about me."
"Do I? You had no job… No girlfriend… Your parents probably never talked to you… You just stay at home… And live your days counting the hours… When you're not killing people… Am I right?"
He let out a roar and reared his fist back, ready to strike down on my face.
I got ready to unleash my summons when unexpectedly, the asshole was sent flying away to crash into the wall of the crater.
There, standing in his place with her wings outstretched protectively was my dearest mother.
"YOU DARE HURT MY CHILD?!" She roared, the entire ground shaking with her voice alone.
"Mo… Ther…"
She was immediately at my side and holding me with concern clear on her face, "My sweet, sweet child. Mama is here now, you are safe. Nothing can hurt you now."
I still don't know how strong mother is and whether she could even beat that asshole. But for some reason, I felt completely safe now that she's here. A feeling that I was most certainly not used to.
Is this… What a mother's love is like?
The bastard stepped out from where he crashed, dusting himself off.
"So… You're the mother of that girl? Do you know that she's an Off-Worlder?" He asked.
"I do not remember letting you speak, trash," Mother glared back at him. "You dared hurt my precious child. You will not live to see the next day."
"Hmm… You are indeed strong, but unfortunately for you, I have ways of dealing with you as well."
He disappeared and reappeared beside mother, lifting a finger that was clad with darkness to touch mother on her shoulder.
"Touch of Death."
I didn't need my [Screen] to tell me what that was supposed to do.
And yet, even with that spell touching mother's skin directly, nothing happened to her.
Mother placed me gently on the ground and stood up, the bastard's expression shifting from confidence to confusion to fear within a second.
"Im… Impossible… This… This touch is supposed to--"
Mother interrupted him, "I said I never allowed you to speak."
She grabbed him by the wrist and twisted, the sound of bones snapping reverberating around the area.
He screamed out in pain and mother did the same to his other wrist, this time the crack sounded even louder.
He tried to run, only to fall forward as his feet had been separated from his body, leaving bloody stumps behind as mother swung her hand down to her side.
He pulled out his bow and shot several arrows at her, only for all of them to be incinerated with black flames the moment they got close to her.
She slapped his weapon away and picked him up by the throat to lift him up into the air, holding the trash up with a single hand.
"Ple… Please… I'm sorry… I'll leave… I'll leave… You won't see me again… Don't kill me… Please…"
"Pathetic trash… You're not even comparable to my child."
"No… No, please…"
"I'll tell you one thing, trash. You aren't going to your little paradise with this death."
She clenched her hand and her fingers pierced his skin, her other hand reaching up to hold him in place before she ripped his throat out.
He gurgled and clawed at his throat before he got tossed aside like trash, being left there to bleed out.
…
Mother is… So cool.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHER TRANSMIGRATORS IN MY HAREM FANTASY?C27 Claiming The Spoils
"Mommy~ I'm going out!" I called out from the door.
"Be careful, my little one~" Mother answered back from the kitchen.
I dashed out of the house and spread my wings, leaping up into the air with a single flap.
After that night, I had lost all my hesitation in recognising her as my mother, something she could tell almost immediately.
Needless to say, she gushed all over me and coddled me excessively after that. Not that I would complain about it anymore.
I half expected Mother to be overprotective of me after that near death experience, but aside from being much more affectionate with me whenever she got the chance, she did not stop me from going out on my own.
That fight gave me quite an awakening as I realised how weak I was compared to everyone else. I'm sure those who have chosen to transmigrate instead of reincarnating here have already used the time they had to grow even stronger.
And if that asshole isn't the only one among them who thinks it's fun to go around killing people to make themselves feel like the 'chosen one', then I really need to be much stronger than I currently am.
I doubt that guy is the strongest amongst them after all.

My dexterity, endurance and magic stats got quite a boost because of that asshole it seems. It makes sense considering the difference in stats between us and how much I was pushing myself just to get away from him.
Still, this is not enough.
With the news that some of the gods aren't as welcoming as Drebann is, I have to prepare for even god level threats.
My benchmark has thus moved from the bear to that prick.
I'll need to train until I can get my ten percent summon to match the strength stat of that transmigrator killer guy. That means at least three thousand eight hundred in my own strength stat.
How strong would I be then? I have no idea, but I sure hope I can at least punch a god in the face if I need to, though I think even that would not be enough.
Not that I'm planning on doing it, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared, right?
Unfortunately, that's something easier said than done.
It's not like I can just keep doing push ups all day long just to increase my strength right? That's why I'll need to think of another way to increase my stats somehow…
Putting that aside, I've got something more important to do this morning.
Because Mother was so concerned with my well being and also because I was too weak to do anything, I didn't even get to loot that guy after he died! For sure he has some nice gear on him, right?!
That's why the moment I was done with breakfast, I immediately flew towards the location of where we had fought last night. It's hard to miss the place considering there's a rather conspicuous crater in the middle of a forest.
Descending there, I realised there's a bear standing over his body, sniffing it curiously.
"Oh no you don't! Scram!! That's my loot!" I shouted, getting the bear's attention.
It turned around and growled at me, obviously pissed that someone would distract it from satisfying its curiosity.
It reared up on its hind legs and roared but I had already taken advantage of that opening to dash forward and drop kicked it in the chest, sending it crashing into the wall of the crater.
Ha! This two year old is stronger than a bear now! You don't scare me!
The bear growled and picked itself up from the wall, looking even more pissed than before. Looks like it doesn't understand the difference in our strength and is picking on me simply because I'm smaller in size.
It charged towards me and I stood my ground, staying still until it got within range to swipe at me.
The massive giant paw flew towards me and any other normal two year old kid might have been blown away by that, but I'm not a normal two year old kid.
With one hand, I stopped the paw in its tracks, the force enough to throw up a cloud of dust at our feet.
The bear was understandably confused that something less than half its size had managed to block its attack, but I didn't give it time to fully comprehend what was going on before spinning around to toss the bear over my head in a judo throw.
Four of my summons appeared with swords in hand, leaping on top of the fallen bear to skewer it with their blades.
Using [Shadow Forge], I created a bardiche and hefted the pole with both hands.
The bear turned to me just as I lifted it up above my head before chopping it down, the blade cleaving its neck cleanly in two.
Didn't even break a sweat.
With the annoyance dealt with, I dismissed my summons and turned my attention back to the trashy asshole who tried to kill me last night.
The first thing I found was his bow which was quite high quality, no doubt something he needed to kill other transmigrators with.
[Tornado Bow - A bow enhanced with air magic to boost the speed of arrows fired from it. A wind is also created to guide the arrow towards the user's intended target.]
Not exactly a legendary artefact, but it's a magic weapon so that's something.
Putting it aside for now, I turned to the body that had its throat ripped out.
The unfortunate thing is that there's no menu pop up to let me pick and choose items to loot and I have to search through the corpse myself manually. Thus I simply went ahead to strip it naked so that I wouldn't miss anything, going so far as to dump the contents of his backpack on the ground too.
Too bad the bag was a normal bag and not a magic bag with unlimited storage.
Aside from the guitar inside his guitar case, he was also carrying an enchanted sword, an enchanted dagger, some provisions and tools, a pouch full of coins, a rather crude map and a magic ring.
[Storm Sword - Sword infused with the power of lightning. Channel mana into it and lightning will shoot forth from the tip of the blade.]
Pretty cool and flashy, I admit.
I tried it and the lightning managed to blast a sizable hole in the ground. Too bad it's still too big for me to use it properly but I guess I can just keep it at home until I grow up.
[Assassin's Dagger - A dagger enchanted with paralysis poison on its blade. Chanel mana into it and strike at your enemies to inflict them with paralysis. The effect varies according to the target's Endurance, multiple applications might be needed for stronger targets.]
Ah, now this I can use! I'll have to try it out on some targets later but this would definitely help me a lot!
In fact, if I had this dagger when facing this guy last night, I think I might have stood a chance against him.
Too bad my [Shadow Forge] only allows the creation of normal weapons and not enchanted weapons… Or at least.. I'm not able to do that.
I wonder if things might change if I learned how to enchant equipment?
Strapping the dagger on my other hip, I picked up the magic ring.
[Arcane Ring - Ring enchanted with mana. Increases wearer's mana regeneration.]
Oh, another good one! And it even shrinks itself to fit my finger too! Even better!
Unfortunately the leather armour he wore was not enchanted and I also find wearing a dead person's clothes a little distasteful.
Leaving only his armour on top of the corpse, I picked up the rest of the loot before moving a short distance away from it.
Taking out a Mana Crystal from my own bag, I concentrated for a moment, turning the mana inside it into fire before tossing the crystal at the body.
A second later, the Mana Crystal exploded into flames and started burning the corpse and the armour.
Leaving it there to burn I flew towards the location of where I first met him.
I was a little curious why he would even stop there in the first place since it didn't make sense that he would simply just wait there for someone to appear. There must be something there that would have made other people pass by him at least.
A short flight later, I was back at the clearing where I had met the bastard, only now I realised there was a cave nearby that I didn't notice the night before.
Was this what he was counting on drawing other people here?
Moving closer to it, a screen actually popped up without me bidding it to.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHER TRANSMIGRATORS IN MY HAREM FANTASY?C28 I Grew Again
[Happy Birthday!]
[Magic obtained: Electromancy tier one]
[Electromancy: Your veins feel like they're charged. Energy courses through your body, both magical and the raw, pure thunder of reality. To gain proficiency, obtain mastery over the energies of your own body and direct them elsewhere. (Progress to tier 2: 0%)]
I waited for a bit, but that was all that appeared on the translucent screen in front of me.
Seriously? Just one this time? Oh well, at least it's a new magic that I can train for this year.
I dismissed the screen even as Mother hugged me closer to her naked chest, her leg wrapped around me like I was a pillow.
Since it was going to be my birthday soon when I found the dungeon, I wanted to hold off exploring it until I received my new batch of skills. I suppose being able to control and summon electricity might be useful even if it starts out at tier one.
With that in mind, I should prepare for my first dungeon dive tomorrow morning… Just let me get some sleep…
*
I woke up with a start, feeling more lethargic than usual.
Mother was already awake and looking down at me with a blissful expression on her face.
"Ara, ara? My little one can continue sleeping for just a while more, you know?"
Hmm? Is it just me or did she shrink?
A few seconds passed before I pulled back and looked down at myself.
My body had grown significantly last night.
Before, I could have passed off as a two or three year old, but now I've doubled my size and I look more like a ten or twelve year old. I could also see the bumps of my chest growing out, although right now they can barely even be considered to be a handful.
I guess part of the reason why Mother wasn't bothered by our skinship was because she saw me as her 'daughter' or something? Though that's still excessive unless it's normal around here.

Oh, it seems just by growing bigger my stats had also increased by quite a bit. That makes sense I suppose.
"Ah… I grew…" I muttered, checking myself out. "Sorry mommy… I don't think I can fit in the dress you bought for me last year anymore."
She giggled, "Ufufufu~ My sweet little one~ You worry about the smallest things~ That dress is enchanted so it will fit you even if you were to grow more~"
Ok… When I looted the asshole's corpse and got that pouch full of money, Mother decided to teach me about the currency in this world which was pretty straightforward.
The universal currency is called 'Creas' and there's four different materials and sizes for coins to denote its value.
Normal bronze coins are worth one Crea, medium bronze coins are worth five Creas and large bronze coins are worth ten Creas.
Then the value just increases by a hundred for silver where a normal silver coin is a hundred Creas, a medium one is five hundred and the large one is a thousand Creas.
Gold functions the same with it being ten thousand times more valuable than bronze. The smallest gold coin worth ten thousand Creas, the medium ones worth fifty thousand and the large ones being a hundred thousand Creas.
Last but not least is the Platinum coin that doesn't have three sizes and is limited to only one size, each of these being worth a million Creas.
From what I know, a loaf of bread would be worth two Creas here, so I guess we can roughly convert one Crea to a dollar back in our world, though that isn't exactly that accurate either.
Why do I need to talk about the value of money? Because enchanted items here are hella expensive, the smallest ones costing at least a gold coin.
The dress mother had bought for me would at least be worth a dozen gold coins since it's enchanted. If it was just a normal unenchanted dress, a few large silver coins would have been more than enough.
What I really wanted to say is… Where is mother getting all that money?
Unfortunately, even when I asked her, she simply smiled and placed a finger on her lips, then proceeded to smother me in between her breasts and calling me cute, so I never managed to get an answer from her.
"Unn… I… I guess I should go and prepare for my dungeon run," I muttered a little lamely, deciding I didn't really need to know whether she's stealing all these things.
"Ah! That's right!" Mother gasped, hopping off the bed without even bothering to dress herself.
She reached into one of the drawers and pulled out a set of leather armour
"Tadah~ Mama thinks it's time my little one has some armour of your own, yes?"
I blinked at her, "Where did mommy get that?"
"Mama made it of course~ Using leather from the Alpha Hell Wolf and also the bears that my little one has hunted! It's a mark of my little one's achievements!"
First of all, I didn't know Mother knew how to craft. Second of all, seems like she already expected me to grow today.
Third of all…
"When is my next growth spurt again?"
"Ara, ara? Not to worry my child~ By then, you would have hunted even greater monsters and Mama would be more than happy to make new clothes for you!"
"Then… Did you make my dagger as well?"
"Ufufufu~ Unfortunately, Mama did not make that one. If my little one wishes for Mama to make one though, Mama will gladly oblige!"
I smiled, "In that case… Could mommy teach me?"
"Ara? My cute little one wishes to know how to forge? Ufufufu~ But Mama is not that good with it~ If my little one truly wishes to be a master of crafting, Mama recommends visiting the Rejmars of Frostiminir Kingdom~"
Rejmars, basically the dwarves. Seems like they conform to the standard fantasy principles of being master smiths. In fact, they are also known as the neutral kingdom since they focus primarily on their craft. Thus when leaders of other nations decide to meet each other to hold talks, they usually meet there.
If I'm right, to reach the Dungeon City, you will also need to go through the Frostiminir Kingdom to reach their port town unless you can fly over the mountains surrounding the island.
Since I intend to go there anyway, I can also make a stop there to learn their crafts too.
"Come now! Let Mama see how you would look in this!" Mother beckoned me over.
I let Mother dress me and I'm glad I got used to my new growth pretty quickly. I don't even need to worry about my sudden increase in reach and height being a problem too so going into the dungeon straight away was of no issue all thanks to [Machine Learning]
The armour even sported two holes at my shoulder blades to allow my wings to sprout out should I wish them to.
There is just one problem…
"Mommy… Did you do this on purpose?"
"Ara, ara? But it looks nice, doesn't it, my dear?"
It seems that while my boobs have not yet grown out to their full size, my butt certainly has a head start and the tight pants made it even more pronounced. These buns are more than a handful at the very least.
My silver white hair had also grown out until it reached the small of my back, which surprised me a little since it stopped growing when it reached my shoulders previously. Like I didn't even need to have it cut.
But then… Seeing myself in the mirror… I have to agree with Mother that I do cut quite a stunning figure, especially with those muscles.
I'm definitely not aiming for the bodybuilder type of look, but right now I have what looks like the beginning of an athlete's body where my body is streamlined with the fats in just the right places.
One can only imagine how I would look when I'm finally an adult.
With my two daggers on both my outer thighs, the lightning sword on my left hip and the bow on my back alongside my backpack of provisions and tools, I was ready to go dungeon diving.
"Ufufufu~ Just in case you get hungry my sweet child~ Here's some cookies to bring along too~"
Ahhhh!!! I love you mommyyyyy!!
Mother saw me off at the entrance as I took to the skies, my new wings also grown to match my new size.
On the way, I also tried out the new Electromancy magic skill and it seems like I'm currently limited to what I can do with it until I reach tier two.
[Lightning Clad] literally wraps a body part of my choosing with electricity, enhancing the power of my attack. Right now it seems like I am limited to only one part.
I also learned [Static Shock] which delivers a numbing current from my fingertips. While it does not do much damage on its own, it does serve to slow or paralyse my target for just a second which I would be able to capitalise on in the thick of a battle. Especially useful if I'm against a large opponent or someone I wanted to freeze in place for a moment.
Unfortunately, that's all I have for now because of my low proficiency with the magic skill. All the kinds of spells I was imagining seemed to be too high tier for me to cast, even shooting a lightning bolt from my hands seemed to be too much.
Oh well, that comes later! Now it's dungeon time!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHER TRANSMIGRATORS IN MY HAREM FANTASY?C29 My First Dungeon!
[Dragon Sanctuary Dungeon - Small]
The reason why I was cautious of this place was the fact that I don't know how strong the monsters inside are.
Even after being here for so long, I've yet to see another dragon flying around this place. So either they are exceedingly rare or they are located deeper inland. We live at the very edge of Dragon Sanctuary where the mountains are the smallest after all.
But for all I know, the dragons might be found in the dungeons themselves.
I did ask Mother about this and she confirmed that it was a possibility to find them in dungeons but she never confirmed where the other dragons are for some reason. I assume it's because she doesn't want me going to find them.
Though there are dragons that are considered magic creatures, there are monster variants of dragons as well.
The worst thing is that unless you try to talk to it, you can't be sure whether a dragon you see in the wild is an intelligent magic creature that is open to conversation, or a monster variant that would attack you on sight.
Not that the magic creature types wouldn't try to kill you either if you piss them off.
Dragons in this world are basically treated as forces of nature, similar to how you would treat a tornado headed your way.
One does not fight it, you simply hole up and hope it passes you by.
Unless you are strong enough to challenge a tornado of course, which is a possible level in this world.
But from what I can tell, even if you are at tier four for a particular skill, you would still be in a fight for your life against a dragon determined to kill you.
I just hope there's none inside this small dungeon and even if there is, I'll be able to escape.
My dagger proficiency is higher right now so I'll be using the two daggers as my main weapons. If the situation calls for it, I'll switch out my normal dagger with the sword to dual wield both enchanted weapons.
Giving my gear a final check, I made sure to tie up my long hair into a ponytail to avoid it being a nuisance while I'm fighting.
I have a boon that would prevent this from being a problem in the future but unfortunately it has yet to manifest itself. That's why I'm not cutting it either.
With everything ready, I stepped inside the cave.
The first thing I noticed was that I felt like I stepped through something thin, as though someone was dangling a cling film at the entrance of the tunnel.
I tried stepping back and got the same feeling again.
Good, I was a little afraid that I might be stuck here until I clear the dungeon or something.
With my worries assured, I stepped deeper into the cave where the tunnel eventually tapered into a set of stone steps.
Considering that the dungeons were made by gods, I wasn't too surprised by this change so I continued my descent.
The stairs eventually ended at an opening which opened up into a large cavern, giving me a clear view of the monster that was guarding the entrance to the dungeon.
[Name: Infant Frost Wyvern
Race: Monster
Stats:
120 Strength
70 Dexterity
100 Endurance
100 Magic
Magic Skills:
Cryomancy (Tier 2)]
How handy, it actually tells me it's a monster under its race.
Also… This is a Wyvern… Albeit an infant one… That's literally guarding the entrance to the rest of the dungeon… And it's supposed to be a small dungeon too…
Is this normal for all dungeons or is it just the case for this one in particular?
Can I… Oh, I can still leave. Although I'm not sure if it's because I have not stepped into the cavern yet or because we're allowed to run away from boss fights, assuming this is a boss fight and not just a random mob in the dungeon of course.
Still, if it's just one on one, I believe I can beat it. Heck, even the cockatrice back at home can beat it.
Stepping into the cavern with both my [Shadow Wall] and [Shadow Glide] activated, a solid wall of fog rose up from behind me the moment I did so.
Ah… So this is a boss fight after all…
Well, because I was still in stealth, the wyvern did not react to my entry and continued standing guard at where it was.
There's another wall of fog behind it so I assume that's the entrance that will open up the moment I beat this boss.
Now… I'm pretty sure those scales at the top look kind of hard so I'm going to aim for its soft underbelly instead.
Dashing through the cavern, I did a twirl and slashed both my daggers across its neck, drawing blood.
I continued past its neck towards its belly and continued slicing it several times even as it reared up its neck for a roar.
Feeling the temperature drop suddenly, I dashed out from under it just as the area under the wyvern exploded with ice. Had I been a second slower, those icicles would have skewered me.
It's a boss mob alright.
The wyvern reared back its head and blew out a breath of frost aimed at the entrance, which was the opposite of where I currently am. I guess it's just blindly blasting away and hoping to hit something.
Summoning my shadows, I commanded them to start attacking the Frost Wyvern while casting [Darkness Paranoia] on the wyvern.
Sixty of them immediately ran towards it, armed with a variety of weapons. It's so unfortunate that I don't get weapon proficiencies from making my summons use them.
It's a little funny that the summons were still in my younger form so it looked like a pre-teen was commanding a group of preschoolers in a schoolyard fight.
All of them stabbed and hacked away at the wyvern, landing blows all along its length.
The wyvern roared and swiped its tail in an arc, catching two of my summons in its attack and dissipating them.
I leapt onto its back, using both hands to slam my paralysis knife down but it only dealt a shallow cut. At least I know I can still cut through its scales but its underbelly is still the prime location to attack.
Taking advantage of it being distracted by my summons and its blinded state, I slid below it again and started slashing my knives along its belly.
A few of my summons also joined me in poking at it with spears.
The temperature cooled again and I had to leap away once more, commanding my summons to do the same.
Unfortunately, not all of them managed to get out in time and at least five were caught in the ensuing ice explosion.
Ugh… I know I can just summon more but seeing my summons die like that also feels like a waste.
Once the ice settled, all of us leapt in again. As big as the wyvern was, it was quite slow while it was on the ground.
While several of my summons kept its attention in front of it, the rest of us slipped under its belly and continued attacking it.
Just as I felt the temperature drop again, the body of the wyvern suddenly froze up and toppled to the side, unmoving.
Oh! The paralysis finally kicked in! That was faster than I thought. I didn't even need to resort to my other spells.
I called out the rest of my summons and we immediately started whaling away at the wyvern's unprotected belly, giving up on technique to simply smash at it with all we've got.
Finally, after a good minute of all of us attacking it, the fog wall finally lifted after the wyvern died.
Oof… Only the first room and I'm already beat…
Are dungeons supposed to be rooms where you challenge monster after monster? I had the impression that it would be some kind of labyrinth though…
I left a few of my summons behind to disassemble the wyvern while putting the rest back into my shadow to descend deeper.
It was another flight of stairs before I reached the next opening.
Oh? Ask and you shall receive it seems… The stairs tapered into stone walls with three corridors leading towards different directions.
Seems like I would get my labyrinth experience after all.
I unslung my bag and took out a chalk, using it to draw a mark on the wall.
Unfortunately, the mark disappeared after a while, so it seems like leaving traces on the walls to mark where I've been is not possible.
Guess I'll have to do this the hard way.
Using my [Screen] I opened a new journal entry and titled it as [Dragon Sanctuary small dungeon, Second Floor Labyrinth].
I then proceeded to record down my turns as I explored the corridors, using my summons to scout ahead in case of traps.
Turning a corner, we spotted a bunch of monsters down the corridor at the same time as they had spotted us.

Huh… Their stats are the same as those cave goblins… This kind of feels like a letdown especially after fighting that wyvern…
And who designed this dungeon that you'd put a boss fight at the entrance and give such trash mobs right after?
Oh well, they're still a source of Mana Crystals and I'm definitely not going to say no to that! Go and attack my summons!
What? That's the whole point of summons right? So you can relax and have them fight the battles you don't want to?
In the meantime, I'll just be back here, creating more summons!
Let's breeze through this dungeon!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHER TRANSMIGRATORS IN MY HAREM FANTASY?C30 Falling Into A Trap
One good thing about hunting monsters, they're basically walking mana batteries for me.
While my summons attack the monsters we find in the dungeon, I would take the opportunity to create maximum stats summons at the back of the fight.
Once the monsters are defeated, I'll have my summons collect the Mana Crystals and replenish my mana that way.
The downside to this arrangement is that only my Magic stat is increasing since I'm not training myself physically, but having more summons makes it worth it.
Of course, I didn't use up all the Mana Crystals I collected and kept a few in my backpack just so that I get a net profit in terms of Mana Crystals for later use.
The curious thing is that despite being able to transform the mana inside these Crystals to other elements, I have yet to gain the magic skill in said elements.
Perhaps I have to do this to my own mana instead of just the mana inside the Mana Crystals? The problem is that Mana within living things are much less malleable than the one found inside Mana Crystals so it's easier said than done.
No wonder it's so hard for people to learn magic.
I guess this is also why the mana inside Mana Crystals are known as malleable mana since they can adapt easily.
Oh? That actually gives me an idea!
I used [Shadow Summon] to create another shadow that used up all of my mana, allowing her to join the ranks of the other summons within my shadow.
Now that I'm out of mana, I picked up one of the Mana Crystals and imagined it turning into water.
Just as I felt the crystal stir, I tried to direct the mana inside it into my own body instead.
The moment I did so, however, my insides felt like it was on fire, burning me up from the inside out. I gasped and quickly pulled the mana out, just as the crystal exploded into a shower of water, drenching me in the process.
Ok… That wasn't good. That really wasn't good.
I think if I didn't react fast enough, the water might have exploded inside my body and brought me to the brink of death.
At this point… I think I'm being a little too reckless… Even if I wish to get stronger, I shouldn't be rushing with it just to end up dead. I do have Mother to consult after all so such things are better left to a time when I have someone much more competent than I am to watch over me.
There's no need for me to do everything myself.
Shelving that idea aside for now, I went ahead to receive the newest batch of Mana Crystals from my summons.
Hmm… I wonder if I can just get my summons to go dungeon diving while I do other things? Automating your farms is a standard thing in games isn't it? The fact that I could leave summons behind to dismantle the wyvern while I'm exploring the rest of my dungeons…
Holy shit, I just realised I'm basically a one man raid party!
Sure, my summons can't use magic which is really sad, but who needs magic when I reach the level where my summons can punch through concrete with their bare fists?
Not that I'm at that level yet but I'm working there ok?!
But just imagine that! If each of my summons were on the level of that asshole who tried to kill me, I could very well take on a dragon myself! Maybe… Since I don't know what a standard dragon's stats is at the moment.
Damn! Ok, Time for me to join the front lines to train my stats!
We've yet to find the way down yet so we'll just need to keep going until we--
*Click*
I looked down at my feet, seeing a particular panel on the ground sinking downwards.
Ah… Nothing had been appearing except goblins so far that I forgot about the possibility of a trap.
Before I could start wondering what trap it was, the floor underneath me opened up and I dropped in.
My wings exploded out from my back and I tried to fly up, only to have the floor close up before I could even fly out of the hole.
Spike also appeared on the newly formed ceiling and something tells me it would drop on me very soon.
I furled in my wings and quickly let gravity retake me, dropping myself down right as the spikes began to fall.
The spikes seemed to propel itself towards me as it slowly got nearer and nearer to the base of my feet, even as I was already trying to drop as fast as I could.
Salvation came in the form of a hole at the bottom that led to a large hall, allowing me to fling myself away from the spike with a twirl and a flap of my wings.
I looked up and it seemed like the spikes stopped right at the hole, sealing off my exit. Deciding to find another way out, I looked around the hall to realise I was not alone.
The fact that the two opposite ends of the hall were blocked by a thick layer of fog also told me where I was.
There, in the centre of the hall and looking up at me with its amber eyes was the boss of this floor.
[Name: Infant Crimson Dragon
Race: Monster
Stats:
Stats:
450 Strength
250 Dexterity
180 Endurance
300 Magic
Magic Skills:
Pyromancy (Tier 3), Aeromancy (Tier 2)]
Are you shitting me?! This thing is four times stronger than me! How am I supposed to kill it?!! And isn't it unusual to have it jump to a dragon after the wyvern boss?! Who the hell made this dungeon?!!
When I made that comment about taking on a dragon, I meant after I got those stats you know?!!
I wasn't using my [Shadow Wall] so I lost the element of surprise too! Do I even stand a chance against this thing?!
It let out a challenging roar accompanied by a blast of fire towards me, the fireball barely missing me as I dove towards the ground.
The fortunate thing was that it wasn't a wide and empty hall but a place that was littered with debris, some of them looking like broken marble columns littered around the landscape.
I immediately called out a group of my summons and gave the order to attack, a few of them staying behind to shoot bows from here.
I joined the archers, pulling out the Tornado bow and using [Shadow Forge] to create my arrows.
We let loose the first batch of arrows at the same time, mine flying much faster than the rest because of the enchantment.
Unexpectedly, a gust of air blasted out from the dragon and our arrows were deflected away from it before they could touch its scales. That must be its Aeromancy at play.
The summons that were wielding melee weapons finally reached it, beginning their assault on the much larger creature.
Though my summons were attacking it with all their strength, the dragon looked more annoyed than in pain, rearing up one of its forelegs in an almost casual way.
I commanded the summons to immediately retreat but the swipe came slashing down before they could, the claws protruding out of the limb slicing through ten of my summons easily.
Those were my max stats summons too, meaning if that had been me, I would have already died.
I cursed, directing the melee fighters to charge in again while focusing on evasion.
The archers and I began drawing back our bowstrings again, taking aim while the dragon was distracted before letting our arrows fly.
This time, without the blast of air to stop us, our arrows hit our marks.
The dragon roared out in anger as our arrows penetrated its scales, burying themselves into its flesh. As much as I wanted to think it was doing damage, it probably felt like toothpicks poking at it with its size.
The dragon opened its maws again and I felt the air heat up before a fireball was launched directly at us.
With my [Shadow Glide] I was able to get out of the way in time but the other summons were not that fortunate, all of them consumed in the raging inferno before dissipating away.
I called up more from my reserves to replace them, this time making sure all of them were spread out and not clustered together like before.
As for the front lines… It was not going well.
Even the summons outfitted with a shield and plate armour died to a single hit from the dragon, that means our only defence was our speed.
Thankfully the dragon's superior dexterity can only be utilised while it's flying, so we stood a decent chance of outmanoeuvring it while on the ground.
Switching to such tactics, it got a little bit better as less of my shadows died while holding the dragon's attention, allowing us to continue peppering it with our arrows.
,m I do not, however, have unlimited summons so it's a matter of whether I will run out of them first or the dragon dies first and the prospects are not looking good for me. I've already brought out most of my summons with only a handful in reserve in case I needed them and yet their numbers are still diminishing rather rapidly.
While I was drawing back my bow again, the dragon smashed its tail on the ground and a large marble column was sent airborne.
I wondered what it was trying to do with it when air exploded behind the column, propelling the giant block of marble to fly directly towards me.
Fuck.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHER TRANSMIGRATORS IN MY HAREM FANTASY?C31 Don't Mess With A Girl's Sweets
I groaned while looking up at the ceiling of the boss room.
My left arm was broken from trying to defend myself against the attack, the column having blasted me all the way to the other side of the hall.
At least I avoided a death blow that would have left me helpless for a long while.
Using my good arm to push myself up, I surveyed the battle and found the situation less than ideal.
Half of the melee fighters were already wiped out and even though the archers were shooting it non stop, the dragon showed no signs of slowing down.
With my broken arm, I won't be able to draw my bow as well so I'm either going to have to hope my summons are enough to kill it, which is very unlikely, or move to fight it in melee range as well.
I grimaced as I got a summon to take out the rope from my backpack, directing her to tie my broken arm against my side to prevent it from flopping around.
If I can get out of this alive, I'll think about making a splint then. Mother should have something to deal with this.
I equipped my Assassin's Dagger, the paralysis poison being my hope in killing this thing before it kills me.
I quickly cast [Darkness Paranoia] to rob it of its sight before dashing under it, aiming for its softer belly that was not protected by its scales.
The dragon let out a roar as its loss of sight caused it to rampage, swiping the area around it blindly in an attempt to get rid of the darkness. It seems like fear wasn't affecting it as much and the spell was only effective in blinding it.
My melee summons had already backed away and switched to ranged weapons as well, leaving me to fight it alone to minimise the damage. As long as I remain under it and it doesn't decide to do a belly flop, I should be safe from--
A gust of wind blew out from under it, blasting me out towards its tail.
I struck out my hand and impaled my dagger into the flesh where the tail joined its body, using it as an anchor to hold me in place even as the wind spell buffeted against me.
The pain of having something impale it from below caused the dragon to drop itself down on the ground, very nearly squashing me if it wasn't for the fact that I was not directly below it.
The movement still slammed me against the ground painfully though but I managed to hold on to my knife.
"Bastard…" I gasped, releasing my grip on my knife to channel electricity into my hand before punching on its tail.
[Static Shock]
It didn't do much damage of course, but the current still managed to make the dragon pause in its movement of rising back up, giving my summon enough time to smash its head with a battleaxe.
The summon didn't have time to pull out its weapon before the dragon twisted its head and caused the summon to lose her footing, giving the dragon the opportunity to snap her up by her leg.
It reared up its head and slammed her into the ground, instantly causing her to dissipate, although the battleaxe remained lodged partway in its head.
What does it take to kill this damn lizard?!
I pulled out my blade and straddled the back of its tail, using it as leverage to start stabbing the fleshy side repeatedly.
Arrows fell on top of its back at the same time, puncturing through its scales and annoying it even more.
Just as I stabbed the dagger back in again, the dragon shrieked and its body was suddenly lit ablaze with fire, blasting me into the air and away from it.
I tumbled across the ground, the pain in my broken arm intensifying as I felt the stones digging into my skin.
Recovering from my roll, I did a quick check on myself to see that I was relatively unharmed. It seems like the armour Mother made protected me from the worst of the blast.
I was just about to get up when I realised there was a weight missing from my shoulders.
Looking back, the backpack that I was supposed to be carrying was no longer there. That means…
I swivelled my head back frantically, spotting my backpack laying near the dragon's hind legs.
No… It better not…
The dragon lifted up its leg even as I was rushing towards it, my hand reaching desperately out towards it even as the foot was brought down right on top of it.
No…
No…
No, no, no, no!!!
MY COOKIESSSSS!! YOU BASTARD!!!! YOU BITCH!!! YOU PIECE OF TRASHHHHH!!!
[Lightning Clad]
My dagger was sheathed in favour of cladding my right arm with electricity, the current sparking off the entire arm and buzzing around angrily.
I leapt on top of its head, uncaring of the roar it let out the moment it felt me stand on top of it.
Pumping my mana into the spell until I felt it reach its brim, I punched downwards and unleashed all the lightning I had charged straight into the dragon's cranium.
The roar changed into a shriek of pain but I was not done yet. I needed something stronger! I needed a spell that could make this dragon feel the pain!!
[Body Current]
[Body Current: A spell that allows the mage to make use of the body's electrical current to strengthen specific body muscles.]
[Lightning Clad]
I roared and punched down again, hearing a loud crack as the blow dazed the dragon.
Still keeping [Body Current] active, I reached out and pulled out the battleaxe that was still stuck in its head.
Lifting the weapon up over my head, I gave another roar for my destroyed cookies as I slammed it down with all the force I could muster, impaling it even deeper than before.
That wasn't enough so I lifted my foot and casted both [Lightning Clad] and [Body Current] on it before stomping down hard on the axe's handle.
The blade of the axe buried itself all the way to the shaft, but judging by how the dragon was still thrashing around, this cookie destroying turd is still too lively for my taste.
I leapt into the air and unsheathed the Storm Sword from my waist, pouring every bit of mana I had left into the sword as I overcharged it with its lightning enchantment.
Instead of shooting it out, I concentrated the lightning to the tip of the sword and flew down, plunging the blade through its head.
The dragon shrieked as lightning coursed through its entire body, frying it from within.
My sword shattered from the attack but the damage was done, the dragon collapsing onto the ground soon after.
I tossed the broken blade away and dragged myself to the side, kneeling down at the crushed form of my backpack.
My cookiessssssss… Waaaaaaahhhh…
I didn't even get to taste them… They were raspberry flavoured ones too…
I turned to glare hatefully at the damned piece of trash that killed my cookies.
Fine!
You didn't let me eat them?! I'll eat you!!
I got my clones to start working on disassembling the dragon while I worked on a splint for my broken arm. There wasn't any wood around so I had to fashion one from some broken pieces of marble.
Picking up my torn backpack, I then started climbing up the stairs to move back to the higher levels of the dungeon, feeling a bit annoyed that the map I made in my [Screen] was now useless because of that trap.
It took me about half an hour of wandering around and having my summons take care of the goblins before I finally found the exit, the summons I had left there already finished with the disassembly of the first wyvern.
My initial plan was to have the materials gathered outside and fly home to bring Mother here to help me bring them back since my summons don't have my wings, but I decided I was too tired to fly back home today and I'll just sleep outside tonight.
I used [Shadow Summon] to create several weaker shadows of myself and instructed them to help me gather wood and to prepare a large campfire, there's a dragon I need to cook after all.
The fire was just beginning to roar into life when my summons reappeared from the dungeon carrying a large chunk of meat.
I knew that particular piece was from that cookie destroying trash so I immediately skewered it and let it roast over the fire.
I didn't really care about the taste but I suddenly got an idea to get back at this piece of trash.
Carefully opening up my back, I took out my poor, crushed cookies that were not nothing more than fine pieces of crumbs.
Grabbing a handful of it, I sprinkled them over the meat before picking it up from the fire and biting into it.
Oh? Oh… OOOHHH!! I can taste it! I can taste the cookies!! It's back!! My cookiessss!! You've returned to meeeee! Om nom nom nom nom~
Ehehehe~ I'll forgive you just this once you stupid dragon~

I rubbed my eyes before squinting at the screen again, making sure I wasn't seeing things when I checked my stats the next morning.
I wasn't surprised that I got stronger but seriously, isn't this a bit too big of a jump in stats? My Magic stats literally doubled you know? This also means my ten percent summon is now stronger than a goblin too.
Was it because of the dungeon? Is this level of growth even normal? What are the average stats of people my age?
Scratch that, I'm pretty sure there's no normal three year old out there with even half my stats… Anyone who does is most likely a transmigrator as well.
At my current strength, I can probably solo that first wyvern boss already. Actually… Do they respawn?
Just for the sake of science, I descended into the dungeon again and there it was, the same wyvern with the exact same stats appearing after a day had passed.
I guess this made sense since there are people making a living out of hunting in the dungeons so it wouldn't be profitable if the monsters take exceedingly long to respawn.
Coupled with what Mother told me about the amount of mana in this world increasing because of Off-Worlders like myself, there should be even more monsters in the world now.
Deciding that it would be a better idea to just ask Mother about it, I left the dungeon and extended my wings before flying back home, leaving the carcasses behind to be picked up later.
Mother was already up and tending the garden when I landed, the woman immediately dropping her watering can to run up and pull me into a hug when she spotted me.
"Ahhhh~ My little one! Welcome home! How was your first dungeon?"
"Mnnnffghh!! Mnnnggghh!!"
She pulled back and I finally managed to breathe.
"It… It was good, mommy… Although… Is it normal to grow exponentially when hunting monsters in the dungeon?"
She paused and her eyes widened before her grip tightened on my shoulders, causing me to wince slightly for the pain that shot through my broken arm.
"My dear… Did you eat monster meat? Wait, is your arm broken?!"
My breath hitched, already fearing the worst, "Ye… Yes?"
Mother immediately spun me around and smacked me on my back, hard. I would have been sent flying if it wasn't because of the fact that her other hand was holding onto my shoulder tightly.
Something churned inside my stomach and I spat something out.
The 'something' turned out to be a Mana Crystal except it was black in colour compared to the standard blue.
"Monsters are made from pure mana, my little one. If you wish to eat one, you would need to drain all of the monster's mana first or you would be ingesting pure mana as well. When a non-monster does that, they will turn into a monster themselves after a while."
I shivered, "Was I…"
"Unnn… It seems like you did not eat enough to turn you into one. If you had avoided monster meat for another five days, that mana would have dissipated from your body naturally."
"And that Mana Crystal?"
"I forcibly crystalised the mana to expunge it from your body my child. Though such a thing is cursed and should not be used."
With a wave of her hand, the Mana Crystal burst into flames and disintegrated completely.
I checked my stats again, expecting to see some changes but surprisingly… There wasn't any change?
"Mother? My stats are still the same? Perhaps some of that mana is still inside my body?"
"Ara, ara? My little one must have grown to accommodate the ingestion! As expected of my child!" She beamed, hugging me to her chest again.
I know that wasn't true and there was another reason for it, but it seems like mother was not willing to tell me.
It's the same when I tried to ask what her real name was, she simply smiled and dodged the question by constantly telling me "Mama's name is Mommy of course~"
Oh well, at least now I know not to eat monster meat before draining their mana… However that is done. I'll need to ask Mother to teach me that since I do intend to dive into dungeons in the future.
She then ushered me into the house and applied some kind of salve on my broken arm before properly putting it in a splint. She claimed that this would help my broken arm heal quickly.
"Mommy… I still have the materials from the monsters I slayed, could you help me bring them back?" I asked with my face still stuck in her bosoms.
"Oh my? Of course my little one! Let's go right now!" She answered immediately.
The both of us flew back to the entrance of the dungeon and mother immediately started gushing over me about beating the two bosses on my own.
Technically I had help using my summons but I'll take it.
I was thinking she would put all the materials into a dimensional storage or something but a bag appeared in her hands instead, a bag that I most certainly did not expect to appear at this point in time.
It was the Pack of Folding, the bag of infinite storage space.
"I think it's about time my little one has a proper bag of your own, yes? It would be terrible if another monster were to crush my dear child's bag and the sweets inside it, wouldn't it?"
I gasped, "How does mommy know?"
She giggled and gestured to my previous backpack that lay smashed and forgotten by the campfire I had made last night.
Ah… I see.
She then gave the bag to me and I started stuffing everything into the bag.
Like I mentioned, the pack of folding has infinite capacity but there is one drawback to it.
[Pack of Folding: A backpack with an infinite storage capacity. If you can push something inside of its stretchy opening, you can comfortably store it in its endless depths. However, everything inside the backpack is turned into a flat disk and sits on top of each other like a stack of plates. In order to take something out, you need to remove everything you placed on top of it. Just shake the disk, and it will unfold back into whatever it once was. If you hold the backpack upside down, the item you pull out will start from the bottom of the pack rather than the top. This backpack cannot store living creatures without killing them, but will preserve food for a very long time.]
That means if I were to store the wyvern scales, the wyvern meat and the wyvern bones in that order, I will need to remove the wyvern bones at the top before I can get the wyvern meat below it.
p At least they appear as disks which are smaller than my palm so it's still manageable if I do have to start removing stuff to get to the things below.
In no time, all the monster materials were safely stored away in the bag.
"Ahhh~ My sweet, sweet child~ Already slaying dragons and you're not even an adult yet~ Mama is so proud of you!"
Mentally speaking, I'm already an adult though… And I think in just a few more years, this body of mine would catch up to my mental age as well. I wonder if I could be considered an adult then?
As though reading my mind, Mother booped me on the nose, "My little one does not need to worry about the number so much. In a World such as this, long lived races and Gods exist. When your body is grown up, you can already call yourself an adult~"
Well, I'm not too worried about that, it's just that the things I bought using the character creator would still only appear on my birthday every year and the lewd ones would need to wait until my eighteenth birthday… Unless it takes into account of me maturing faster than normal?
I guess only time will tell.
As for now… I'll just continue training myself until I'm strong enough to solo a dragon! Just so that my sweets will never be threatened again!
"Mommy… I want to be even stronger…"
"Oh my~ As expected of my little one! Such a small achievement is definitely not enough for you~ In that case, how about my child register in the Guild as a Dungeoneer?"
"Eh? They have no restrictions on age?"
"Ufufufu~ As I said my little one, the number is negligible especially when there are races who are mature the moment they are born~ As long as you are aware of what you are doing, the Guild will not turn down applicants who passes their tests!"
I guess that makes sense… But…
"I think I would like to be a little bit more prepared before I go there. Could you teach me to be stronger, mommy?"
"Ufufufu~ In that case, I think my little one is ready~ Mama shall train you seriously now~"
Umm… Something tells me I might regret this…

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHER TRANSMIGRATORS IN MY HAREM FANTASY?C33 First Training Montage
True to her word, my broken arm healed quickly as though it was magic… Then again, it might have been magic.
I thought Mother was training me seriously before this, but it seems even then she was holding back…
Now that she knows I could take on an infant dragon, she's training me even harder than before.
Not only was I being thrown back into the dungeon, she made me fight them without my summons and also forced me to use various different weapons and handicaps at the same time.
I even had to fight each of the two bosses barehanded without using my magic, I almost thought I would die then.
As though that wasn't bad enough, I had to then do it again with one hand tied behind my back, then once more with both hands tied behind my back.
You think that was the end? Mother then made me fight with both hands tied and a foot lifted off the ground, but of course this time I could use everything else.
I have to say, holding a dagger between my teeth was a weird but also somewhat usable tactic…
Once I was done with that, Mother brought me deeper into the dungeon and I had to do the same thing all over again to a full fledged adult wyvern.
[Name: Frost Wyvern
Race: Monster
Stats:
400 Strength
370 Dexterity
200 Endurance
250 Magic
Magic Skills:
Cryomancy (Tier 3), Hydromancy (Tier2)]
It was weaker than the infant dragon but it was much more durable and also bigger in size. Furthermore, the boss area featured a giant cavern with enough space for it to fly around so I had to learn aerial combat just to deal with it.
I didn't realise that having both your legs tied together would impact flying so much either, not to mention both my arms too. Just to even be able to fly I had to move my entire body to alter my own flight path.
I was particularly pissed with this wyvern as it caused me to lose my first dagger Mother gave me.
The blade was snapped at the hilt when I had to use it to defend myself against its tail swipe with the weapon clutched in my mouth.
Just for that, I proceeded to headbutt it to death.
The fact that this wyvern was also stronger than that trashy asshole meant that guy must have been pretty weak and overconfident. Otherwise, why would he come to such a place if he can't beat a monster like this on his own?
Once I had completed the course with that wyvern, I thought we would continue deeper into the dungeon to fight the next boss.
Mother only took me to the very edge of the boss room and let me use my [Screen] on the boss.
[Name: Hell Dragon
Race: Monster
Stats:
340000 Strength
5700 Dexterity
350000 Endurance
290000 Magic
Magic Skills:
Pyromancy (Tier 4), Aeromancy (Tier 3), Geomancy (Tier 3), Umbramancy (Tier 3)]
Yeah… Whoever designed this dungeon really doesn't want it to be conquered…
It was also my first time seeing a full fledged dragon too and that thing there was massive enough to be compared to a mountain.
Naturally, Mother didn't let me fight that and my training continued… With herself as my opponent.
Even now, my [Screen] still shows her status as question marks so I'm pretty sure she has a way of blocking it, especially when I'm able to see the Hell Dragon's stats clearly.
Back then Mother would sometimes spar with me but even I knew she was holding herself back at that time.
Now… Now she can handily beat me without even moving from her spot while using only a single wooden spoon.
My max stats summons were literally being obliterated with a swipe from that spoon, though she would simply flick me on the forehead when she attacked me.
I kept coming up with new forms, tricks, attacks, spells, weapons and tactics to fight against Mother, but I wasn't even able to touch her in our spar.
She even allowed me to use the Assassin's Dagger on her which I refused since the thought of poisoning my own Mother was a little too much, but it didn't even matter since I couldn't even land a hit on her.
And now… I'm officially twenty-eight years old…
My total age that is.
In this World in particular, it's been ten years since I came out of that egg although you'd never have guessed that with how I look like now.
I pretty much look like I'm already sixteen with my height slightly below Mother's and my body filling out in all the right places.
My silvery white hair has grown past my knees and both of my assets are much closer to their full size. Even both organs in between my legs were fully functional, which my hormones were very helpful in letting me know.
Mother did comment that I was growing much faster than a normal Meslatar. Any other Meslatar would still be stuck in their pre-teen bodies even at this age and their next growth spurt would have come when they are at least twelve or fourteen years old.
Mother simply said that this was proof that I was special and left it at that.
She also became much more preoccupied with teaching me how to dress up and stuff, which became one of her favourite past times. Mother would always make me wear various clothes just to doll me up, then squeal and fawn all over me every time I did so.
I admit… I may have started to like that too.
There's one thing I have to mention in particular, period pains are still a bitch.
I did take a boon that would eliminate it from being a problem but it was classified under 'lewd boons', meaning they don't manifest until I'm eighteen. This is going to be so annoying…
Speaking of which… For the past seven birthdays I had…
[Body Mod obtained: Touch Tail, Smoothed Over]
[Boon obtained: Iron Gut, Heed Thy Call, Fashion Forward]
[Bane obtained: Jungle And Blood]
[Magic obtained: Lumenmancy tier one]
Incidentally, I only got one per year which was a little bit of a let down, until I remembered most of the things I bought were in the lewd sections so it made sense.
[Touch Tail: You now have a nice, prehensile dragon tail.]
As usual, Mother utterly gushed over the tail I had, which was something that normal Meslatars will only have after they are older.
The fact that I already should have a tail meant that buying this allowed me to make it much longer than it normally would be, though it seems like it's retractable to a certain extent. At full length, it's about a half times longer than I am tall.
Why I would buy this would only become apparent later on when I grow older. But for now, it handles quite well as a third hand.
[Smoothed Over: This smoothes out your body. Makes your skin, hair, scales, everything shiny and smooth. While you can be cut, it'll never heal into a scar. It'll heal down until it's the same flat, perfect patch of skin it's always been.]
Hey! I have a feminine body now! Flawless skin is a must!
[Iron Gut: Nothing you digest can get you sick. Food poisoning is a thing of the past, as is anyone sneaking venom into your soup. Other kinds of poisons or illnesses are still dangerous, but even those are less effective because some of them will try to pass through your cleansing stomach.]
I already knew that I have a very big love of sweets so there's definitely people out there who might take advantage of that. This would allow me to eat all the sweets in the world without worry!
Ah, sure, it also helps me by eating poisonous stuff to sustain myself but that's just a bonus.
[Heed Thy Call: You have background music now. It compliments both your mood and your actions, without being invasive of your space. Normally, only you can hear it, but in times of extreme emotion even those around you can hear the fierce upswell of your rage, or the tragic violins of your sadness.]
Come on! You can't say that having your own background music or even your own battle theme isn't cool?! It's absolutely cool! Another goal of mine is to be able to make my enemies hear the sounds of a choir singing in latin when they do battle against me!
[Fashion Forward: You are not hampered by things you wear. At least when you move. Whether you have a bunched up sweater, massive amounts of armour, an overstuffed backpack, or high heels, you'll move like you've always moved. You will be just as quick, dexterous, and light on your feet as if you were naked. Just bear in mind, this stuff still weighs what it should. So even if you can move like before, it'll tire you out much faster, and you still won't be able to move with it on if you can't even pick it up off the ground.]
Ok, look. I not only want to explore the world, I want to look fabulous while doing so,
With Mother's efforts, I've now taken quite an interest in dressing up too, so even if I were to wear an impractically long cape, it wouldn't hamper me. Even if I were to wear stiletto high heels, I can still kick ass and run just as well on flats!
In fact… I've already switched to wearing ankle boots as my normal foot wear, although Mother had been trying to get me to try on pumps and high heeled boots too.
I do admit they make my legs look especially nice.
[Jungle And Blood: Every so often, when you get angry, it spills over into the Jungle and Blood. A ravenous spirit living inside your brain, whose only desire is to tear the tongues from those who you see as worthy targets. It grants you a savage, uncontrollable power to rip apart anyone in your way. You will use no weapons, rely on no tactics, and kill like a bear on cocaine. You will pull their teeth out with your thumbs and cave their chests in with your forehead. When the rage subsides, you will find yourself caked in blood, your body aching, and your foe's mangled corpse barely recognisable.]
And that's my first bane that I've gotten so far that I had to choose to get more points to buy the good stuff.
Honestly… This is my hulk mode I guess, which can be both a good and bad thing since I pretty much lose control of myself. But it should be fine as long as I keep my cool and not get angry.
… As long as no one steps on my cookies again…
And last but not least…
[Lumenmancy: There is a glow within you. It fills you like water, bursting into every nook and cranny. Through your muscles, bones, and veins. Right down to your fingertips, filling up your heart and bursting from your mouth. You walk the path of the radiant light.]
Yes, I took this to walk both the paths of Darkness and Light. It's cool, ok! And I get to shoot laser beams!
Aside from all those changes, the one thing that has not changed is the fact that Mother still cuddles me to sleep naked.
It's getting harder and harder for me to deal with that now…

Mana Management (Tier 2), Umbramancy (Tier 2), Electromancy (Tier 2), Lumenmancy (Tier 1)]
At my current level, I can wrestle with a fully grown wyvern and win, though an infant dragon is still able to beat me in strength.
Not that either of those two monsters would be a threat to me anymore since I've pretty much beaten them multiple times already, with handicaps I might add.
Even if that trashy asshole were to appear in front of me again, I'm pretty confident I can beat him too.
I remembered that I got quite a big power up from eating monster meat and I asked Mother if I should do that again, but she shot down the idea quickly and instructed me to never eat them without draining the mana ever again.
"Aster, never eat monster meat like that again," Was what she said.
She even called me by name instead of her usual terms of endearment, so I knew she was absolutely serious about it. Thus, I didn't even try.
As of now, Mother had decided to slow down my training in favour of sending me to school like I had wanted back then.
In order for me to attend Aerialla Academy, I first need to attend and graduate from one of their branch schools.
Thus, Mother had left for the mainland a few days after my tenth birthday to prepare for my attendance in one of those schools, leaving me alone back at home once more.
I did ask if I could come along again but Mother insisted I wait at home as she wanted to prepare a surprise for me when I move over. Not sure what kind of surprise that was but it's not like I have a choice anyway.
Mother didn't tell me when she would be back this time so I decided to explore more of the island while she was away.
Despite being here for ten years already, I have yet to explore beyond where the dungeon was located. Heck, I haven't even seen any dragons who aren't from that dungeon either.
Is this place called 'Dragon Sanctuary' only because there's dragon themed dungeons here?
No, that can't be. I remember reading about this place and it's said that this is the home and nesting grounds for dragons of this world, so they must be somewhere here too.
Although, remembering the stats of that Hell Dragon… I'm not in a rush to meet another dragon either.
Still, having arrived in another World and being stuck in the same place for ten years… Even I would get tired of the same sights.
That's why I'm flying further and exploring places I've never been to see what else is in the Dragon Sanctuary on this moonlit night..
Right now I'm flying further south to explore the part of the land that would curve to join towards the western side. The mountains were also significantly bigger here so maybe I'll find new monsters?
While thinking of such things, I spotted movement down in the forest below. The movement was quick, like something was running away from something else, so I decided to descend and take a look after turning myself invisible with [Shadow Wall].
Flying close to the treetops, I spotted a group of what look like Mahuns running through the undergrowth with all their might. Judging by their weapons and armour, they are probably Mercenaries or Dungeoneers.
Interestingly, everyone in this group is a female and has tanned or chocolate brown skin. Their gear looks rather simple with a few wearing leather armour while the rest wore simple cloth armour, all of them showing quite a bit of skin which revealed their toned muscles underneath.
Could they also be transmigrators?
Admittedly, after my meeting with that trashy asshole, I'm also now a little bit more wary of meeting other Off-Worlders too.
"Leader!! If we go any further, we will be intruding!" The woman at the back shouted, her auburn hair flowing freely behind her.
The one at the front cursed, "Gah!! Do we have a choice?! It's better that we beg for forgiveness later than ask for permission now! Just go for now!! If anything happens, I'll take responsibility!"
I followed above them, wondering just what they were running from until a shadow passed overhead and landed in front of them.
Oh what do you know? It's an old friend.
[Name: Frost Wyvern
Race: Monster
Stats:
400 Strength
370 Dexterity
200 Endurance
250 Magic
Magic Skills:
Cryomancy (Tier 3), Hydromancy (Tier 2)]
Hmm… I guess this wyvern's pretty unlucky to be here, since this group of people look like they are in a hurry. No doubt they'd just quickly kill it before moving on.
"Damn it! It's already caught up with us!! Everyone! We'll have to fight it!" The leader roared, pulling out a broad double bladed axe from her back.
Eh? They were running from this wyvern? It's not even a dragon… And they have… Six people here, that should be more than enough to take on a wyvern right?
Let me just check their stats starting with the young woman they called leader. She stands out quite a bit since she's literally using what looks like a deer skull as a helmet that partially covers her greyish hair and wearing leather armour that only covers her chest and privates.
Just saying, but she has a killer set of abs. Like damn, those look tight…
[Name: Ardiolyta
Title: Amrap Instructor
Race: Amrap
Stats:
220 Strength
190 Dexterity
150 Endurance
30 Magic
Skills:
Hunting (Tier 3), Cooking (Tier 1), Martial Skill-(Axe Proficiency (Tier 3), Unarmed Proficiency (Tier 3), Sword Proficiency (Tier 2))
Magic Skills:
Geomancy (Tier 1)]
Huh… So they are Amraps…
Amraps are, in the simplest terms, amazonesses. They look like Mahuns but their race comprises only females and they are more stronger physically and also larger in size as compared to Mahuns.
They are also quite obsessed with strength and they have a sort of festival that is basically a competition where they can showcase their physical capabilities.
Speaking of which… I did a quick check on the rest of them and their stats are even lower than hers, the average being around a hundred and fifty in strength.
Then there was the one that looked like a ten year old with amethyst purple hair that cascaded around her shoulders and tanned brown skin, looking rather out of place compared to everyone else here that has auburn hair aside from the leader.
[Name: Odeta
Title: None
Race: Amrap
Stats:
30 Strength
34 Dexterity
22 Endurance
10 Magic
Skills:
Martial Skill-(Sword Proficiency (Tier 1), Unarmed Proficiency (Tier 2)]
Yeah, there's no way this group of Amraps will be able to beat that wyvern. What are they even doing here if they can't even beat a wyvern?
Should I help?
Hmm… Maybe I should hang back and watch first, just in case it's a trap like what that trashy asshole did.
"Damn our luck!" Ardiolyta cursed. "I'll buy all of you some time! Head in deeper and beg for help! Use whatever we have as compensation!"
"But leader!"
"No buts! We were all meant to be a diversion for the main group to escape anyway! With this our mission is already complete! Go!"
Oh, a diversion? So I guess there were supposed to be more of them but maybe they encountered a situation where they could not help to fight it off?
The others in the group were still hesitant on leaving their leader behind but the wyvern seemed to understand their intentions and stomped its foot.
A ten foot high wall of ice sprung up from the ground, completely surrounding both the wyvern and the Amrap party in a sort of arena.
"Damn it! It won't even let us run?! Hurry and start breaking the ice!" Ardiolyta roared before charging at the wyvern.
I watched as she leapt towards the wyvern with her axe raised, striking down as the wyvern used its own wings to intercept the attack.
Her axe was deflected by the talon on its wingtip and she barely managed to bring her weapon up to defend herself before its tail smashed into her, sending her crashing down into the ground.
To her credit, she recovered quickly and rolled away before it could stomp on her, slashing her giant axe in an arc and drawing blood in the wyvern's side.
The wyvern shrieked and blasted the Amrap away with a jet of water, giving it enough distance for it to summon icicles from the water remnants to shoot at her.
Even with such a heavy axe, Ardiolyta showcased her skills by dexterously slashing apart the icicles before flinging a small rock bullet at the wyvern's eye.
The attack was rendered useless as it simply moved its head away, the monster leaping forward by kicking its powerful hind legs to snap at her.
The Amrap hefted her greataxe and slammed the blade into the monster's snout, the force just enough to redirect it away to avoid getting chomped by the giant lizard.
Despite her inferior strength, it seems like her skill with the axe is no joke since she's able to challenge that monster to a certain degree.
But even with that, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to beat it.
As though to confirm my thoughts, the wyvern leapt again, delivering a body slam that blew the woman away to crash into the ice wall, creating a visible crack in the solid wall.
"Sister Ardi!" The youngest Amrap cried, drawing her sword to rush towards the wyvern.
"Odeta! No!!" Another Amrap screamed, her hand failing to pull the younger one back.
The commotion caused the wyvern to turn to face the little girl, its eyes narrowing at her attempt to strike it with her sword.
The girl barely closed the distance before its tail slammed into her abdomen, sending her bouncing away with her sword flying out of her grasp. By her groans of pain, she does not look like she'll be able to get up any time soon.
The monster took a leisurely stroll towards the downed girl, only to halt as Ardiolyta pulled on its tail.
"Leave her alone fuckface!" She roared, bringing her axe down on its tail and cutting the tip clean off.
The wyvern roared and a block of ice slammed into her, pinning the woman against the ice wall.
The other Amraps charged the wyvern despite the clear difference in strength, all of them easily subdued when the wyvern blew a breath of frost that sent them tumbling away with ice forming on parts of their bodies.
The wyvern moved towards the downed Odeta, its head reared back and jaw opened in preparation to bite down on her.
Well, I think I've seen enough.
Time for me to make a hero's entrance!
