NTR Rogue in the Apocalypse-Chapter 240: Claiming the Android

John smirked as he looked at the system’s notification. Maria had already left and John was standing alone in the middle of his room, pondering his next steps.

John stared at his upgrade choices and weighed his options.

First, he could upgrade his Shockwave skill. No doubt, Shockwave was his most versatile skill and one of the most used. Not only did it allow him to create distance between him and other threats, but he could use it for mobility and also for dealing damage.

Then there was his Haze Veil. This one, he used maybe even more than his Shockwave skill. The Haze Veil allowed him to hide himself from threats, but that was not all. Thanks to it, he could activate the passive bonuses of Quiet Steps which doubled his Agility.

John’s current biggest problem was his lack of crowd control skills. One could argue his Shockwave skill served as crowd control, and whilst it was useful to survive a large group of enemies, it was too weak to really damage large groups.

That was when John’s thoughts shifted towards his Shadow Claw skill. It was interesting, but it only worked as a support skill and had not done anything in battle.

If he used the two skill points to upgrade Shadow Claw, perhaps the skill could turn into something more useful, but that was a gamble, and John did not like to gamble.

His options were limited, however, he had just acquired a new skill, hadn’t he? Thanks to Maria successfully falling for his charms and completing his quests, she should now be considered his woman, which meant Skill Borrowing should now allow him to use her skill.

Maria’s Magic Artillery skill was incredibly powerful and it would be John’s first heavy-hitting long-range skill.

His eyes narrowed as he focused on the skill’s description.

[Magic Artillery (B]

[Description: Allows the user to channel Energy on their fingertips and release concentrated magical energy to attack targets from a distance. Can be shot straight or in an arc.]

Magic Artillery was only B-rank and he had seen how much damage Maria could cause with it. Just what would it turn into if he upgraded it to S-rank. But the question was, would the System allow him to upgrade his borrowed skills, and if so, would it upgrade only for him or would Maria benefit from it, too?

"Screw it, I’ll try it," he mumbled, focusing on the choice to upgrade his Magic Artillery skill.

The room darkened, and a blue screen appeared before him.

[Warning! You are trying to upgrade a skill that does not belong to you. Are you sure you wish to proceed?]

"Yes."

[The Skill: Artillery Strike (B) has been upgraded to Artillery Strike (S)]

John grinned. The ability to upgrade his women’s skills was a welcomed boost. Maria had two skills that he knew of: her Artillery Strike and her Cannon skills. The Cannon skill was more powerful, but it was less versatile, and John couldn’t use that one anyway.

"Of course, this means I will have to make sure no one steals Maria or any of my women from me, but that was always the goal."

For a while now, John had wondered what would be the most efficient way to grow stronger. He had been having second thoughts about his NTR Rogue class, but now it had proved him wrong.

With that in mind, he had decided to needed to prioritise all of his NTR-related quests. That meant, he should focus on Mika and Amber’s quests.

"I can focus on Mika’s quest right now, whilst Amber will have to wait until we learn of Michael’s whereabouts."

John left his room with a smirk on his face, he knew what he had to do and he couldn’t wait to do it. As he walked out of his room and entered the lounge, he waved and greeted people he met on the way to the stairs.

Mika was an android. She was a unique creation that should not exist. Edward was a madman who was hellbent on creating the perfect artificial intelligence, and he had succeeded, but his real intentions were far less noble than his creation.

No doubt, Edward had created Mika to satisfy him sexually, but he had not expected Mika to outright reject him.

’I wonder why he never forced her,’ John wondered as he sat down on the couch.

’I should act fast, he hasn’t forced her, yet...’

[Quest: Claim Mika for yourself while Edward watches helplessly.]

[Reward: Skill Upgrade]

’A quest as simple as that, huh?’

The wording of the quest was vague, which meant John had some leeway in achieving his goal, but he did not waste any time and immediately began pondering how best to go about it.

Edward should be his main concern, and Mika’s feelings for John were... complicated. She was certainly enjoying all the new feelings and sensations John introduced her to, but he knew, that was simple lust, and Mika did not have the best impression of John prior to their physical relationship.

’Now, where is she?’ John thought as he walked outside of the shelter.

It was morning, and he found Mika with Amber near the cars, practising. Mika’s hair was tied up in a ponytail that bounced back and forth, and she was clad in a tight black tank top and black shorts.

She was firing magical bullets at the targets whilst Amber took cover, occasionally firing a few shots from her sniper rifle.

’Is that a new Skill?’ John wondered as his eyes narrowed. He knew Mika only had healing skills, but here she was, using offensive magic.

"John!" Mika waved as she spotted him.

John jogged towards them.

"How is the training coming along?"

"Not bad, I’ve gained a new skill," Mika said.

"Is it anything strong?"

"Nah, it’s only an D-Rank skill, and its range is about 50m. The thing is, though, that it is quite accurate. Look at this," Mika explained as she lifted her finger and aimed it at the sky.

As she did, multiple small projectiles shot up into the air, flying straight up for a couple of metres before shifting direction and heading towards their target.

"Wow, that’s impressive."

"I know. It’s great for hitting flying creatures, but that’s about it. What do you think Amber? Think I can join fights with this skill, now?"

"Maybe, but if you’re joining the battle, you’re staying close to the base, understood?" Amber replied.

"What? No way, we already talked about this! If I’m going to learn how to fight, you have to teach me how to actually fight. I’m not some weak damsel who needs to be protected."

John chuckled. "Mika, I actually need to talk to you."

"Okay? Go ahead."

"Alone, preferably."

"I’ll give you two some privacy," Amber said.

"Thanks."

John sat on the bench, and Mika sat next to him.

"Tell me about Edward."
