Limitless The Strongest Revenant

"I don't hold it against you, Joshua, far from it. You all just wanted jobs and I happened to need people, that is all. You are neither slaves nor meat shields. My war has nothing to do with you."

"But."

"The LLG will operate without me. The 2nd and 3rd squads all have the power to do so. With these two new groups, you would have enough to form a pseudo battlefront. I also have enough weapons for future squads, so your mind can be at peace."

"Commander! If you were to die, it would be a huge blow to our forces! You are our leader! Our king! If we lose you, it will all be for nothing!"

"Your king, huh?"

Technically, society needed kings to lead it. This was the next evolution of the typical tribal chief. While I was against such an undesirable position, having the power of a kingdom at my back would definitely help me in the wars to come.

It was impossible to be everywhere at once. The 2nd Amendment and the LLG along with the other groups were my seeds. If they were able to grow properly, they would be a powerful force for the battlefront.

Considering the number of enemies I have right now, it was stupid to throw away such a group, just because I didn't like something inconvenient. However, I hesitated for another reason.

For one, I saw these people as tools. Unlike the Sirens, which I could never give up. I was perfectly fine with letting everyone else die. Such thoughts were not worthy of a king. But my vile mind couldn't reject the power.

If it meant that I could achieve my goals, I was perfectly willing to sacrifice them to the last.

Are such thoughts what you wanted from me, Joshua? I debated inwardly.

"Commander, a king is someone chosen by his people. His duties are to lead them, to defend them, and to help them grow. You have already done all three. You have opened our eyes to the truth, you fight for Hellsgate as a whole, and you give us the tools we need to prosper.

"But these things are not why the 2nd Squad wants to follow you. For us, it is because you show us compassion. Instead of ordering us to die for you, you are willing to sacrifice yourself rather than bring us harm. Therefore, I am sure that you are our king."

That sounded like a lot of bullshit, but whatever. I opened their eyes on a whim, I wanted to train them for my own purposes. I never wanted to defend Hellsgate, it just happened that way.

Unable to deny all the things Joshua said, the villain in me just accepted it.

'Their loyalty is better than the alternative. Let's just accept their allegiance for now,' I schemed.

"I see, thank you for saying that, Joshua. I have had an extremely long day and would like to rest. As soon as the Sirens have finished their work, I will go home to sleep."

Joshua gave me a quick salute and bid me farewell. "I understand. Please take care, Commander. Also, please tell mistress Freyja that the 2nd Squad will all turn into Phantoms tomorrow."

"Ah right, she mentioned something like that. Okay, I will tell her. Congratulations."

"Thank you, Commander. Take care on your way back, may your {Fate} end the darkness."

With a bow, Joshua left me, just in time for the rest of the Sirens to return to my side.

"Darling! We're done, shall we move on to the next Dirge Siren?"

"I'm fine if you girls want to. But as for me, I want to go home and rest. I haven't slept in over two days."

"Shujin, I am sorry for that," Aki said in a discouraged voice.

"Kamisan, I wasn't looking for an excuse. If winning you as my wife was the price. I would be willing to not sleep for a century. I am just tired for some reason."

"Possum, I have enough souls already, can I come and sleep with you?"

"Fuck you Robyn! Stop trying to steal March! Honey wants to rest!"

"In fact, you are using being stupid as an excuse to monopolize dearest."

"That's because you cunts are fucking boring! Go study or something, you slaggers!"

Jas then came to my side and intertwined her fingers with mine.

"Husband, ignore the noisy flies here. Let's go home and rest. I will massage your feet."

"Well, I guess stopping now is as good a time as any. My love, do I have a place under your roof?"

Amused by Liv's nonchalant declaration, I smiled while answering. "Of course, love, my home is yours as well."

Liv flashed a small smile as she walked towards me. In the background, Bella and Robyn were trying to pull each other's hair. Lilly seemed to be hesitating whether to stay or go.

" Darling, is it okay if I go see Ma and Pa first? Aki come with me!"

"Eh? Why do you need me as well, Jo-san?"

"I'll tell you later. Anyway, that's how it is. Jas, Liv. Make sure Darling gets plenty of rest, okay?"

"Wait! Possum! I want to go too! AHH! You bitch, get off me!"

"Mwuahahaha! Fuck you and your shit, Robyn! Get stuffed! Honey! I will come to you soon, take care of yourself okay!" my Brazilian waved as she had Robyn in a headlock.

"Dear, I will accom..."

Bella then grabbed Lilly's long hair, making her scream in pain.

"AHHH! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU! LET GO YOU NERD!!"

I didn't know why Bella stopped Lilly and Robyn from coming with me. Nor did I know why Jo needed Aki to visit the Simmons. But I knew that they always had my best interests at heart, so I didn't ask.

Liv then laid her head on my shoulder like a teenager in love. Amused, I gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. Then I looked at the rest of the Sirens as I said goodbye.

"Everyone, I will be going on ahead. Make sure you protect each other, okay? And as soon as your matters are settled, come back to me. You all deserve your rest as well."

The girls all gave me affectionate smiles and nodded. Then I took Liv and Jas' hands.

"Are you two ready?

"Yes, dear." "I am the man."

"Okay, just follow my lead, okay? I am not sure if you two are going to warp to my hotel room like me."

Then I thought of my room at the Biltmore Hotel and felt a tug on my soul. I welcomed the familiar feeling and vanished in an explosion of light.

***

When I returned to Earth, I felt my body on a bed again. The dissonance of suddenly being parallel to the floor was uncomfortable. However, I felt warm bodies of soft flesh beside me that jolted me awake.

I opened my eyes to see Jas and Liv beside me. But when I looked at the ceiling and the bed, it was different from what I knew. For one, I now had a canopy bed with transparent fabric dangling from the ceiling.

There was also a thin cloth around the bed too. It looked like those Arab sex beds I had seen in a magazine once. Such beds were used to hide the bodies of kings and queens from anyone who entered their rooms.

Moreover, the bed itself was different. It was now a huge round bed, bigger than even an Alaska king-sized bed. Then I noticed a small card at the top of the headboard. Carefully I reached for it and read its contents.

[Mr. Limitless. I saw the large group of beautiful women you had with you. One of our services is to provide a harem suite for ghosts who request them. Since I saw how much you adored them, I requested the bed on your behalf. - Nathan]

"Harem suite, huh? I should give him another bonus."
