Harem Lord System: Post Apocalyptic World-Chapter 68: Castle

[Personal Dimension — It is a dimension which is in the shape of a circle with a radius of 100 meters. There is a small castle in the middle, and it can be accessed by the host and those whom the host has given permission to enter.

The space inside the dimension can be increased with upgrades. There are some limitations which you will understand once you integrate the dimension with yourself. To integrate it, click yes.]

[Yes/No]

’What the...’ Lukas couldn’t believe his own eyes. It might be the best reward the system had given him till now.

If it really is what the description says, then wouldn’t it mean that he had a permanent castle with him where he could go whenever he wanted?

Is there even need for him to make a perfect base when his base would always be with him?

’Let’s not jump to conclusions... first I should integrate with it — no, a little later. Let’s read the other thing first.’

Anything related to integration had always hurt like hell, so he would rather wait till he saw what this pillar was.

[Runic Pillar — A protective pillar which will attack dead walkers in a 200-meter range. For dead walkers below level 5, it doesn’t need any extra energy, but for higher levels, it would need evolution crystals to attack.

The host can also direct its attack to certain enemies by placing a hand on it.

Place it on the top of your base and activate it.]

Lukas felt even more elated. This was another item to make his base safer. These two items had come at the right time.

He looked at the others and saw them really talking with each other happily. "My lovely beauties, I am going to scream in pain probably, so don’t worry too much. It’s just simple upgrade-type shit..."

Hannah and the others turned their attention to him with confused expressions.

"You will be fine, right?" Hannah wanted to be sure of this part.

Lukas nodded immediately. "Don’t worry, sis. It will just improve my power... I am starting now..."

First he went for the system upgrade, as he had felt it before and it was something he could cope with.

[Are you sure you want to upgrade the system?]

[Yes/No]

He took a small breath and pressed yes. ’Fuck my life...’

Immediately a stinging pain hit his brain, and he screamed before passing out.

"Meowww!" Celeste jumped on his chest as he fell and began rubbing her head on his...

"Damn, that looked painful..." Emily sighed. "His power really is a strange one."

Catherine agreed with her, as passing out in pain wasn’t something she would want to experience.

Lillian, on the other hand, didn’t know what kind of power they were talking about. She was more interested in the otherworldly cat sitting on Lukas’s chest. "She really is so beautiful..."

She had just heard from Grace about it being an evolved beast, and it was very astonishing for her to learn about it. She had never thought that evolved beasts existed.

"Come, let me introduce you to her..." Hannah smiled. Celeste had already become calm around them, especially her.

"Okkk." Lillian wanted to do that badly...

...

Lukas came to his senses and heard voices of them playing beside him. "It was more painful than before..." He sat up and took a long breath.

The others stopped and looked at him.

"What benefits did you get from it?" Grace immediately asked.

"Let me see..." Lukas opened it and immediately got the information on the system panel.

[Inventory has been upgraded. The host can now store anything as long as he can pick it up and the size is less than 5 meters.]

’Well, that seems promising...’ Lukas was satisfied with it. "I got a perfect storage to store anything as long as I can pick it up and it is less than 5 meters."

"So you are now a walking storage room then?"

Grace smiled, and Lukas nodded.

"More like it... anyway, I am not done yet. I have to go through another bout of pain..." Lukas immediately clicked on the personal dimension and used it.

He was a little tired after the system upgrade, but he wanted to finish this hellish pain experience by today... he thought it would be a good idea, but alas, this integration hurt more than he could have imagined...

"Fucckkk—"

It was so much that he didn’t get a chance to curse before passing out...

Hannah looked at him wearily while the others sighed.

...

’Dammit... my head still hurts.’ He came back to his senses, but he felt something strange. He was on a soft mattress rather than on a chair.

When he opened his eyes, they felt heavy, as if he had opened them after a very long time rather than just one or two hours.

He sat down. He was in his room. He looked at the time on his digital clock and got stunned. It was already morning of the next day.

"Damn, I was out cold for that long... next time I would definitely take more rest between two upgrades—"

Suddenly new information about his personal dimension entered his mind, and he understood everything about it.

’It’s far better than I thought...’ He looked at the back of his hand, which was totally clean and spotless, but just as he willed to enter inside his personal space, a mark like a spatial tear appeared on it, and after a few seconds later he disappeared from his room.

When he was able to see again, he was flying above the ground, and below him was a beautiful obsidian castle.

The area around the castle was simple plain land with green grass. There were no trees inside it, nor was there a sun in the sky.

If it was day outside, then inside would also be daytime. If it was night, then night.

There was a constant flow of wind inside, and it was still similar to how air flowed outside. Similarly, seasons were also decided the same way.

As for flying, it was a perk of the master of this dimension. He could literally do anything here. All the rules inside this dimension depended on his will.

It was truly a marvelous place.

He looked at it for a while from above before teleporting into the throne room inside the castle. He could see through everything here, and just a thought made him teleport where he wanted.

Although it was mentioned that the castle was small, it was far bigger than his house. The throne room was the biggest room in this castle, and it was similar to how a king’s throne should be.

He climbed the stairs slowly, relishing the feel of really becoming a king, and after coming to the throne, he turned around slowly, watching the other chairs beneath him before sitting down on it.

’This feeling...’

Even with the hall being empty, it made him really feel like a king. The thought of others following your orders even if they didn’t want to just because of authority was intoxicating.

He relished it for a while before coming out of the dimension.

He understood how others could enter inside it. He could open a passage or give them another mark like this for them to enter on their own will. All they had to do was stay near him to do so. There were a few flaws, though.

You could not instantly enter inside. It took about ten seconds for the passage to become stable to enter and leave from the dimension.

Also, one person could use this passage only two times. After that, the mark become inactive to recharg its energy to be used again, which took 24 hours.

So basically, one could enter inside and come outside only once a day. This restriction was a little less for him since he could do it three times.

There was one more thing. He could only give 10 marks initially. After that, he had upgrade the dimension to unlock more marks, the upgrade is similar to system upgrade. The size of the dimension would increase too with upgrades.

The last restriction was on the time period one could stay inside — a week. After that, they would be thrown out by the dimension and were only allowed inside after one day, this can be improved with upgrades too.

Well, it was still a very good dimension. With this, if he wanted, he could travel the whole world with his family.

He suddenly heard someone climbing the stairs and went ahead and opened the door.

"You ok?" Hannah sighed in relief seeing him awake.

Lukas nodded. "Sorry for worrying you. I didn’t have a clue that it would take this long..." While saying, he moved and hugged her.

Hannah felt a sense of peace in his arms and let herself get totally relaxed in it, and Lukas also didn’t want to let her go too early.
