Apocalypse Landlord: My Tenants Are All Beautiful Heroines.-Chapter 43: The First

In the endless darkness, a wisp of smoke floated around.

Where... am I?

[Hero Maximus.]

Maximus.

The name rang a bell, and suddenly the darkness was replaced by images of Maximus’s life. His journey to the overlord’s castle and his party’s eventual demise.

As the images finished playing, the wisp took a faceless humanoid form. It was Maximus’s conscience, his soul, which the system gods had preserved following his defeat.

Huh? Who goes there?

[You have failed your task. However, your bravery has pleased the seven eternal goddesses.]

[For your ultimate sacrifice, you will be given a reward.]

"Reward?"

Not only had the hero’s memories returned, but so had his personality. The moment he heard the words reward and seven goddesses, he immediately thought they’d give themselves to him.

However, his sly thoughts only made the goddesses frown in disgust. Yet, for the sake of their ’experiment’, they had to fool him.

[You shall reincarnate into a world akin to paradise.]

[Wealth, women, and conquest all will await you on a world known as Earth.]

A portal opened in front of Maximus’s soul. He crossed his arms, not wanting to leave the place.

Wealth, women, and conquest? Why would any of that excite me?

Only a fool would choose a mortal life over seven goddesses. They were women, too, and what kind of wealth would a god lack?

Besides, he hated conquests. He died a virgin in the last conquest he took. Thanks to that, he had no intention of leaving the goddesses.

Seven goddesses and seven orifices. It can’t be a coincidence. Hehe, I’ll make them bend to all my nasty fetishes. Just wait—

[...you filthy cur!]

One of the goddesses lost their cool and materialized behind the so-called hero.

Maximus got startled by the immense pressure that appeared out of nowhere. He jumped, wanting to get away from whatever that was behind him, only for the goddess to kick his ass right into the portal.

"No! You cannot force me to accept this reward!" he yelled as the portal closed, sucking his soul inside.

"Freydis!" the other goddesses screamed simultaneously.

"WHAT?" Freydis yelled back, placing her axe on her shoulder. "You should be grateful I didn’t chop him in half!"

The goddesses could only let out a collective sigh before watching Maximus’s descent. They had bet everything they had on this.

The souls of other heroes couldn’t survive the journey and broke into specs of dust. Maximus was the last soul they had left to experiment with.

If they failed, they’d perish alongside a dying Otherworld.

As for why their world was dying, it was a convoluted story. The short version was that it was all Aiden’s fault. If he hadn’t gone on a rampage, killing the system-gods, then none of this would be happening.

"He’ll pay once we meet again!" Freydis roared, swinging her axe.

"Hmph, do whatever you want," Morvane, the goddess of hidden destinies.

"Yeah, how dare he leave us behind!"

"He must take responsibility!"

Meanwhile, back at the apartments...

Aiden opened his eyes and was confused upon seeing the unfamiliar ceiling. He tried to get up, but a heavy weight was pressing him down.

He looked down and saw muscular bronze arms wrapped around him like a vice. Karina was hugging him as if her life depended on it while resting her head on his chest.

"Oh, right... so this happened," Aiden sighed, noticing his aching body.

Even with the barrier’s attribute boost that gave him nearly infinite stamina, he still felt drained. Somewhere in the middle of their mating dance, the bed gave up, but that didn’t stop the two from having their fill.

As much as he liked cleanliness, Aiden didn’t bat an eye before sleeping on the bedsheet soaked in their bodily fluids.

He glanced down at Karina. Traces of his dried semen were all over her, while his own body was covered in bite marks and scratches.

"We truly became animals, didn’t we?"

[Tenant: Karina Shaw achieved an emotional breakthrough. Desire has been upgraded to Infatuation.]

[Tenant: Karina Shaw’s infatuation rose to 1%]

[Dweller search tokens x5 have been awarded for fulfilling a tenant’s desire!]

[$1.5 million has been deposited into funds for finding an eternal mate.]

"Thanks—"

[It’s my pleasure—]

"For making me feel like a gigolo."

[...]

Although he said that, Aiden was pleasantly surprised. After all, he had made back the money he spent on things since upgrading his class.

"I’m glad you were my first," He mumbled, gently tucking a strand of hair behind Karina’s ear.

As soon as he said that, he felt her heartbeat quicken. The vixen wasn’t asleep, she was just pretending because she was too embarrassed to look at him anymore.

Aiden felt it, and that’s why he didn’t finish his words.

First in this world.

Given Karina’s unique constitution, she could go toe to toe with him. That too, when she was in heat. Aiden didn’t think she could have taken him if she had been normal.

Fuck, it felt so good that I lost control and fucked like she was the demon queen.

It was a good thing because he didn’t want to imagine what would have happened to Alisha if she had been the one in Karina’s place.

Death by snu-snu would take a dark turn real quick.

As much as Aiden enjoyed the performance last night, he had to get up. Plenty needed to be done. But just as he was about to, another notification flashed before him.

[Partner section unlocked!]

+++

Current partner(s):

1. Karina Shaw [Title: The first one]

Note: Tenants with Infatuation or higher state are automatically assigned as partners.

Note (ii): There is no limit to how many partners can be added.

Note (iii): Partners enjoy shared stats with the host.

+++

...wait, what do you mean by shared stats?

[They inherit a part of the host’s stats depending on their infatuation meter reading.]

In other words, following their night of intimacy, Karina had inherited one percent of Aiden’s stats.

However, that wasn’t why he was taken aback.

What is 1% of infinity?
