Harem Reborn

Hey readers! Magic, the author here! In the next six chapters, I will be giving a sneak-peek into Dave's second series, Dave, Game Master Reborn (the name is still a work in progress).

This story will follow Dave and Tequila in an MMO meets Dungeons and Dragons style game world and will be written in the third person. This story will not be like the last one, where you and Dave remained clueless for most of the story. 

Instead, this time you the reader will have a full understanding of the plot that will be unfolding all around Dave. I hope you all continue to read and enjoy the Reborn collection I am creating, so thank you for reading.

Dave, Game Master Reborn!

--------

When the light had cleared for Dave, he was floating above an undulating sea of blue shifting lights. Above him was only darkness and vast open space; this was the Eye of God.

"Is the program Blank gave me loading up?" Dave asked.

'Yes, we also have the root file. Both are activating, and it should only take a moment to reset the worlds. The file Blank gave you allowed us to pull all the girls from the tenth world directly to the Hall of Gods,' Tequila explained.

Dave and Tequila had already spent over a thousand years in a Second Life together, but only recently had their memories restored to them. Now, once they had completed restarting the first twelve worlds in Reborn, they would be able to start on the Eleventh world.

This time would be different for Dave. The world would now be free from corruption, but he would not be using the Harem System this time.

The Harem System was designed to be able to jump between worlds and enjoy all the different things that each had to offer. The armory could be used to haul any kind of movable item, and there were many uses for it.

The problem with the System was that it made the player play out each of the games. They would be forced to focus on finding the girls and then doing things with them.

The system was meant as a Pleasure Cruise System, not a fighting system. It could be used as one if necessary, Dave had proved that.

'System check before we go into Demons and Dragons. What do you plan on using, my knight above shiny lights?' Tequila teased from inside Dave's head.

Blank had given Tequila the ability to merge and emerge from Dave like the way a Nymph did. This allows her to be safe inside a pocket dimension. It sits in between the folds of Reborn, and is a copy of Dave's house that he grew up in.

"I'll use the Game Master System, and I want you to use the Point Crafting System. These two will keep us moving at a steady pace and they will hopefully keep us from dying."

'Yes, but you do get three lives on this one,' Tequila mentioned helpfully.

"If I die, we lose our stuff if we can't get back to it, and any experience we received had since the last town. I built this as the last level, and it is going to take a lot of work no matter what system we use," Dave explained as the light below pulsed twice to Dave's System requests.

The Eye of God had finished restarting, and recalibrating the worlds. Now, it was installing the Systems directly into Dave and Tequila. 

Doing this would fool the untampered with MainFrame, letting Dave use the second System. He would still get another System that would work separate from the Game Master System upon entering the world.

'Will I be a Player too?' Tequila asked.

"Yes, we will have the same style of System. This world only has one type, but it is an Unlimited System. That means there is no power cap, but that goes for everything else in the world. We will start as nobodies, and have to fight our way to the top," Dave explained.

The world was almost finished loading and soon they would be dropping in. They would both start at the age of twenty-five, and it would not change while they were there.

"So, all the other players are the Major's A.I. that he built? Why doesn't that make me feel better than having the ones that were infected? Didn't you just wipe everything?" Tequila asked Dave after emerging from his chest up to her shoulders.

"What are you doing?" Dave asked, trying to hold back his smile.

Dave had wiped everything, but the A.I. put in here by Blank would only get reset to the state they were entering.  The only way to make sure was for Major Tim Knowles, Aka, Professor MTK, to swap out A.I. that he had created.

"I would sooner look at you while we talked. This will also be a great way to introduce me to friends!" Tequila said, and then pulled her arms out.

She pulled Dave down into a kiss, and Dave embraced her awkwardly.

Suddenly, Tequila was forced the rest of the way out of his body. Dave helped her, but as he did, both of them started to pull apart.

They were now downloading into the new world and soon Dave would begin his next journey. This time it would be without all but one distraction, and a person still needed a little bit of distraction.

"I really hope this place we start has nice people and an inn. I want to have a bath," Tequila said with a smile as they had almost completely faded.

"Nice? D&D? I don't think I put that word into this world," Dave said with a chuckle as the two disappeared.

Dave and Tequila were now being inserted back into Reborn, and into the Demon's & Dragons World. The Eleventh and final stop before the final game world, where Dave would face off with MainFrame.

Dave opened his blue eyes and had to push some of his sandy blonde mop of hair aside to see. Something never changed for Dave, but that was by his own design.

As the creator of Reborn itself, Dave made sure that his avatars all share a similar likeness to himself for continuity's sake. Now he had entered the new game, and he was running through the messages from the Game Master System.

"Everything looks good here, how are you feeling dear?" Dave asked Tequila, but the pair of men on the road in front of him stopped and turned.

One of them was well over two meters tall with a red coat and blacks jeans that looked about Dave's size. The other was shorter and more obese, but both had guns, a pair of revolvers.

"What the fuck did you just say to me?" The tall man with red hair sneered at Dave.

Dave wasn't sure if the man actually wanted to hear it again or if this was one of those, don't need to answer things. Luckily for Dave, A message popped up from the Game Master System.

[Encounter] Started!

[First Quest]: Piece Full Dissed Arms: Complete this encounter without attacking.

[Reward]: Skill: Advantage.

'You don't want to waste your first life here. They might just wait, and spawn kill us! Do you want me to come out and help?' Tequila asked with no intention of helping.

Dave had to think quickly but decided to roll with the punches and see where that got him. The two already looked like a strained partnership.

"Ya, I thought it was strange as well, that's why I repeated it. You got a funny little man that talks to you like that, good for you too!" Dave said with an easy-going attitude.

During this, Dave was scanning through his skill sheets and other things. Once he found Persuasion, Dave activated the skill at the end of this talk.

"Hey! I never said something so stupid!" Cried out the short back hair man, but he pulled out his pistol at the same time.

"You greasy weasel Simon, I knew you were like that," The red-headed man said, he had drawn as well. "Funny you pulling a gun on me like that, if you didn't say anything."

"Sorry, no disrespect. I just have never heard a man say that to another man. I am not from around here. Also, Simon, are you a greasy weasel? That's quite the accusation of your so-called friend and partner!" Dave said while holding down the persuasion skill with his mind.

"Yeah! I ain't not a greasy weasel! He is right! Friend, yeah right! Walt, you say."

*Bang, Bang!*

Simon was cut off by a bullet to the chest, but that made him pull his own trigger. Walt staggered back, and both men dropped their guns, clutching their wounds.

Dave stood with arms crossed, shaking his head as he watch the dying men sink to the ground. Both men shattered into black bits, and Dave let out a long sigh. 

He would not be getting that red coat, but he did receive his new skill.

'What is the point of this skill?' Tequila asked.

"It also allows me to re-roll the results of a conversation three times a day. It doesn't guarantee that it will be good and I have to stick with the results, but it could be very useful," Dave explained as he walked over, and picked up two brown pouches where the men had died.

He opened it up, and there were some gold coins inside of it, the other was the same. Dave tucked the pouches into his blue jean pockets and turned on the road.

Ahead was a small town, and there was a sign not too far from me for the town's name and population. Dave had to walk a bit before he could see it, but when he got close enough, Tequila started to laugh.

'Wow, did you name this or was it the random name generator of lost hope and despair?' Tequila jokes.

The sign that Tequila was joking about was a pair of brass metal posts with valves that had no apparent purpose, SteamPunk. The black billboard had the welcome painted on in white.

[Welcome to The End]

[Population: Varied]
