No Otaku with Harem System

Chapter 139: The Protagonists Are Trouble Magnets

I am satisfied with the improvement of my skills, due to the evolution of [Reader's Madness] it is now much easier to perform perfect brainwashing.

"... I don't know if I should be scared or smile ironically" - Ada had an expression of discomfort as she watched me work.

"You were curious as to what I'm going to do with this guy" - I rolled my eyes as my fingers played with the brain of the man named Chris Redfield.

Using my knowledge of brain anatomy and acupuncture I can perform a certain level of mind control, but when I use [Reader's Madness] then I can literally rebuild a person's mind to the point that my greatest enemy will become my brother from all over the life willing to die to protect me.

The best part is that System Goddess confirmed that technically this is not hypnosis so even the purification, clarity, and hypnosis breaking abilities cannot nullify this level of mind control as the effect is not magical but biological.

Even so, I must be careful since according to System Goddess, part of the memory and personality is connected to the soul, so the abilities that stimulate the willpower and the soul can nullify the effects of this brainwashing.

Using mind control on allies or pawns is dangerous since at any moment they can break free and stab you in the back, but I'm only going to use Chris to have a peaceful chat with the rebels so it doesn't matter.

"Have you ever used this on your women?" – Ada asked me with curiosity without showing real disgust.

Despite the cruelty and disgust of my actions, she has managed to convince herself to accept my flaws in order to survive, it can be said that she developed a lower form of my skill [Mythomania] that allows her to lie to herself.

"I have not and will not use mind control on my women" - I rolled my eyes. – "If I do that I will only have a puppet gallery instead of a harem"

Adam nodded with a smile. – "If I were in your place, I would use mind control and avoid all the problems"

It is understandable, many would do that.

"That is the way of thinking of a mortal" - System Goddess spoke with disdain while she drank a fruit juice. – "Obtaining everything you want easily is the first step to falling into the monotony of boredom, when you have an unlimited life expectancy, boredom becomes the worst poison"

"That sounded so dramatic I don't know what to say" – Ada rolled her eyes.

"It kind of makes sense" – I finished programming Chris's mind so I put the top of his skull back on and then used Hamon to not scar his head. – "Think of it like this, having an infinite life means having an infinite number of things to do, but if at some point you manage to meet all your goals, then there is no longer a path to follow"

System Goddess nodded. – "I am surprised that you have not even lived for a century, but you have already discovered one of the greatest weaknesses of being immortal"

"It's just a logical thought" - I shrugged and cleaned the traces of the neural surgery I just did. – "You know, you always have to look for a higher mountain and that stupid thing"

"It's not a stupid thing, it's the principles of the Dao" - System Goddess pouted. – "It would be good if you start on the path of cultivation, because of your System you could have a cultivation speed that defies heaven…"

"No" – I sat next to her and drank some juice. – "From what you explained about cultivation-based power systems, it is too restrictive an energy and it is not worth it"

A power system where the cultivation level can restrict one's abilities and even the protagonists can only skip one or two levels. If I engage in cultivation and encounter an enemy three levels above me all of my skills will become useless due to the laws of cultivation, that sounds so stupid that it's not worth considering.

"But cultivation can lead to immortality…" – System Goddess spoke in a low voice.

"I am already biologically immortal and thanks to Ortro my soul is also immortal, besides, Rasen, Anti-Rasen, and Madness are much more versatile energies" - I spoke with apathy.

"That's cheating" – System Goddess began to pout. – "It took me 2000 years to become a superior existence, but at only 17 years old you are already a Guardian and a Chaotic Beast, your talent defies the sky and breaks the…"

"Stop acting like a bootlicker, it's disgusting" - I frowned. – "Also, you have already confirmed that I have no talent to become strong, I am simply a stupid protagonist with a system, I literally cannot be a failure"

"Ahem, sorry, praising the strong is a custom of my world" – System Goddess scratched her cheek awkwardly.

Ada smiled wryly and came over to sit on my lap, when her soft butt rested on my legs she grabbed a bunch of grapes and began to give them to me affectionately. This beautiful woman loves to flirt without caring about other people's looks.

I smiled as I find her behavior pleasant, little moments like this are what help me to tolerate the migraine.

Even when I'm in the process of becoming a Higher Entity I haven't managed to get rid of the migraine, this sucks

We're currently on a plane headed to America for a civil chat, as to whether this will end peacefully, I highly doubt it.

Umbrella's resources are great, in a single day I was able to mobilize forces spread across most of the world on their way to Washington, the headquarters of the rebels.

I'm surprised the rebels didn't want to relocate their main base and decided to stay in the capitol.

Ada told me that this is due to the feeling of pride and nationalism, something that I will never understand since I am not attached to a country or world, but hey, each person lives the way they want or can.

From Moscow to London, covering all of Asia, controlling Africa, and in the process of unifying all of Latin America. My government's flag covers almost the entire world and now I only need to take the United States, Canada, Greenland, and Alaska to complete world domination.

Actually, only the rebels of the United States are the last resistance of this world and since my government has shown sincerity in helping ordinary people, only the people in the capitol are dissatisfied with my dictatorship while the rest of the world celebrates me as the savior of humanity.

Yuriko and Sena did an excellent job of nationalist propaganda to the point that I'm not just a dictator, I've practically become a deity in the eyes of humanity in this world.

This control of the world is even greater than the control I have in the world of martial arts, but the name of the new world government is a bit… I don't know, it's horrible.

Luistopia…

I… Well… I may be an idiot, but I'm not narcissistic enough to put my name on a world…

If it wasn't for System Goddess mentioning that being worshiped by all of humanity in a World will help me when I can use the full potential of my Chaotic Beast lineage then I would have punished Yuko for choosing that stupid name.

As for the one who thought of that name, it was Shizuka.

Maybe I'm too soft on my blonde nurse, but I can't help it, she's too cute.

As I relaxed with Ada, my plane finally reached the temporary base my army had built in the United States.

Despite the fact that some of my armed forces were already in this country, I have not managed to conquer the capitol since, in addition to the problematic protagonists among the rebels, the power of Project Alice and her clones proved to be too much trouble for my soldiers.

Fortunately, the rebels couldn't recover all the weaponry from Umbrella's main bases or they would be a real headache.

When I got off the plane I saw my army duly prepared.

Leading the army were the three generals for this mission, Arashi Mikami, Komuro Takashi, and Haruki Amamiya.

The team of ex-protagonists turned out to be more helpful than I thought, I'm glad I recruited them instead of murdering them.

I would have liked to add Kenichi to this group of cannon fodder, but Saori didn't want her son to get involved in wars so now my stepson is studying to be a writer while he continues to train his martial arts as a hobby.

"Commander" – Arashi gave me a military salute to which I nodded.

Even though I stole the main heroines from these three protagonists, they have remained obedient and happy ever since I gave them some unimportant girlfriends, stupidity brings happiness.

On my right side was Ada and on my left side was my new 'friend', Chris Redfield. As for System Goddess, she is busy repairing my system.

Chris thinks that I showed him all the good things about my government and after a long talk he finally realized that I am not like Wesker but I am a true hero who seeks to save humanity.

With Arashi's guidance, I got into a van in the company of Ada and Chris.

For now, I will not mobilize my army since I managed to communicate with the rebels so that we can have a civil chat, although this is probably a trap to assassinate me.

As we walked toward the capitol, Chris watched Ada with discomfort as she hugged me like a schoolgirl in love with her first boyfriend.

"I don't know what face to make" - Chris sighed. – "But hey, Leon and you are adults so you guys can handle this"

Ada smiled indifferently. – "Who I decide to be with is my problem so it is a good decision that you do not question me"

"But still..." - Chris smiled wryly. – "Aren't you too old to be with a teenager?"

Personally, I prefer mature women, but the subject of age is very sensitive for women so this idiot stepped on a mine.

"Oh, I'll be 24 this year so I'm still young…" – Ada showed an innocent smile worthy of a serial killer.

I kept silent as I am on the lookout for any possible sneak attacks, but the human irrationality of an angry woman caused me to become collateral damage in this discussion.

"What do you think dear? Am I too old to be with you?" – Ada spoke sweetly as she hugged me.

Due to autosuggestion, she is no longer afraid of me so she is willing to joke with me, but I am sure that if I give a bad answer she will say troublesome things to the mature women in my harem.

I sighed and hugged her waist. – "Being older than me only makes you more attractive, whether it is your appearance or personality, everything about you is attractive"

Ada smiled and kissed me on the cheek. - "Good answer"

Chris had an expressionless face. – "Oh god, I feel like the third wheel…"

"If you feel uncomfortable I can throw you out of the car" – Ada shrugged.

Chris smiled bitterly. – "We used to be friends, can't you be less cruel to me?"

"We're still friends" – Ada smiled. – "That is why you are not tied to the roof of the car"

I love this woman.

Our group kept going until we finally arrived in front of a large concrete wall that surrounded the capitol like a medieval fortress.

This structure was built with Alice's psychic powers and along the way, we hardly encountered any zombies, mutants, or infected animals as the rebels have taken it upon themselves to clean up most of Washington.

If it wasn't for Alice and her clones, the rebels would have already been exterminated, but well, if things go well I'll be able to get my hands on that woman and her 'sisters', and if things go wrong... Well, bad things happen to good people.

When we arrived in front of the wall I felt dozens of weapons that were pointing at us, but I have already reinforced the four cars that make up this caravan with Ki and black blood so even a missile could not destroy these cars, moreover, in two of the four cars come the companions of the rebels.

For this mission, I only brainwashed Chris while leaving the soldiers and the two clones from Project Alice alone.

The soldiers that followed Chris were loyal to him even though they felt the fact that Chris was now in my party was strange, but even with misgivings, they didn't object to Chris's choice to become part of my army.

On the other hand, the two clones looked at me with hostility so I had to immobilize them with acupuncture so they wouldn't cause trouble.

By now Chris has already talked to his group to tell them that the scene where Ada shot him was just an act to deceive the traitorous soldiers that still remained from the original Umbrella.

The reason why I was injured and knocked unconscious was that I fought against that group of traitors, as for whether it was necessary to annoy Leon, I admitted that I did it for fun since I am a womanizing idiot.

Keeping up the façade of a lecherous, narcissistic idiot is quite helpful as people don't question my actions too much and just think 'He did it because he's an idiot.'

The motorcade stopped and Chris got out of the car, when he waved his arms to make a sign I felt the intense hostility of the dozens lessen a bit, although I'm sure there are still rebels who want to kill me because they cling to the idea that I'm a hedonistic version of Wesker.

The guerrillas let us go to the capitol without checking the contents of the cars, which is a clear mistake since an enemy could introduce bombs or biological weapons, but hey, I'm here to chat civilly so that's fine.

When we reached the entrance to the capitol I got out of the car with Ada while my soldiers got into a defensive formation.

For this mission, I only brought 10 genetically enhanced elite soldiers who are also Master level martial artists so they are enough to show my military power.

A group of my soldiers carried the two clones from Project Alice who couldn't move.

Even though those two women were motionless, they could still move their eyes and when they saw me they showed intense hostility like a dog seeing the postman.

"Don't look at me like that" - I shrugged. – "You tried to bite me when I kindly offered you food, be thankful that I did not put a muzzle on you"

I ignored the angry looks from both women and walked towards the capitol with Ada and Chris.

All the women in my harem know how much I hate diplomacy, political games, and paperwork, in fact, I don't even enjoy having authority since it's troublesome to think about other people's needs, I prefer to take a gun and fill the heads of all the troublesome people with lead.

This is why even though I am good at negotiations and manipulations, I prefer to leave the annoying issues to my responsible wives so Ada will be the one to handle the negotiations while I relax and look for Chris's sister.

Did I mention that part of the brainwashing makes Chris see me as a great brother-in-law candidate?

When we entered the capitol I sighed as I kicked the ground using the 'Phoenix Kick' causing the air pressure to nullify the psychic push that was directed against me.

"Is this how they welcome guests? What uncivilized and unpleasant people" – I spoke with contempt as if I was an arrogant rich kid.

In front of me was a beautiful woman with short hair. Although her appearance was only average compared to other women in my harem, her presence was more intimidating than most of my female fighters being almost on Shigure's level, although considering this woman's lack of control in her power, Shigure could decapitate her in a second.

"You are not a small thing..." - The woman spoke to me with a voice that was a mixture between surprise and anger.

"Do you want to test my strength?" - I raised an eyebrow as if her attitude damaged my pride. – "Then I will show you the difference between our abilities"

I raised my hand as Ki and vibrations spread through my arm.

Using low-frequency vibrations combined with Ki I made everything within a ten-meter perimeter start shaking as if gravity doubled.

I have been training the power of vibrations as according to System Goddess, existences in charge of managing systems equal to her can temporarily block system skills, for example, if I fight against System Goddess she can turn off my related skills to the system for at least 10 seconds.

The skills and techniques that I can develop outside of the system will be personal skills that cannot be locked by administrators so I am trying to create my own skills outside of the system logs.

Sure, making skills without system support is much more difficult for an untalented person like me, but perseverance (obsession) is the key to success.

For now, my only personal skills are the skills generated by [Reader's Madness] and [Rasen Arts].

The woman in front of me held her chest while kneeling on the ground, the vibrations make the molecules unstable so if she increased the force it wouldn't be strange if her organs and bones break.

[System Notification: Alice Abernathy has identified the user as an enemy.

The title 'False Antagonist' temporarily becomes 'Antagonist'. Alice Abernathy's attacks will do double damage to the user. The user's attacks will deal half damage to Alice Abernathy.

In case of winning a figth, the user will steal Alice Abernathy's 'Plot Armor']

[System Notification: Alice Abernathy enters the 'Monster Girl' ranking.

In case of winning a fight, the title 'King of Monsters' and the skill 'Monster Girl Tamer' will suppress Alice Abernathy's non-human lineage to make her instinctively obedient to the user]

My lip trembled and I nullified the vibrations, I don't want to get women with such a boring method.

[System Notification: The skill 'Mythomania' has failed to prevent the skill 'Monster Girl Tamer' from activating as the user desires Alice Abernathy]

…

My stupid womanizing nature strikes again.

I sighed and let Alice catch her breath.

Ada smiled wryly as she spoke to me in a low voice, but allowing Alice to hear her – "You're being unusually nice even though she attacked you, do you like her?"

My harem helps me expand my harem…

I shrugged nonchalantly. – "She is beautiful and strong, I do not dislike her"

"Womanizer" – Ada teased flirtatiously.

As Ada flirted with me, Chris sighed as he looked at Alice who was gasping for breath. – "I told you that you were no match for him"

"Shut up!" - Alice clenched her fists tightly. – "This bastard abused my sisters!"

I raised an eyebrow, I haven't laid a hand on her clones.

"I can be a womanizer, but I have standards, resorting to **** is for losers" - I rolled my eyes. – "Also, you were the one who sent your clones as cannon fodder while I made sure they had a healthy meal"

Something is not right, there is something that bothers me in this situation.

"You lie!" - Alice glared at me as she tried to stand up.

I could feel two hundred people full of killing intent approaching who should be elite soldiers.

"Leon already told me everything you've done! You are a fucking degenerate!" – Alice's nose started to bleed as she was concentrating to perform a psychic attack, but as soon as she started to prepare her attack I threw a needle of black blood to an acupuncture point on her forehead to stop her thoughts.

"This is a trap" – Ada drew a gun as she stood behind me and my soldiers readied their weapons.

This is not right, from what I heard from Leon's personality, he is not the kind of impulsive man who gets carried away by his emotions.

Even if my actions made him seethe with rage, he should remain rational...

"Looks like it's starting…" – System Goddess sighed in my mind.

"What happens now?" – I asked with frustration, I hate problematic things.

She responded with irony. – "It is somewhat complicated, to begin with, I would have to explain to you one of the strangest phenomena in the multiverse, something called 'Plot Armor'…"

"I know what plot armor is so just tell me what's up" – Because she's a higher entity we can have a thousand-word conversation in less than a second so there was no problem letting our guard down.

"Your level of knowledge at such a young age is something that defies heaven…" – System Goddess stopped saying stupid things when she felt my anger. – "Ahem, as I used to say, in each world, there are entities that are blessed by heaven endowing them with talent and luck, these entities are called 'Protagonists'…"

"There are many types of protagonists, there are combat-based protagonists who will have heaven-defying martial arts talent, protagonists with ridiculous luck that allows them to find heavenly treasures like common stones, protagonists who easily befriend entities powerful, and many other types of protagonists…"

"Despite the fact that the subject of the protagonists is a phenomenon that has been studied for thousands of years, an explanation has not yet been found as to why they are loved by the wills of each world, but there is something clear, the plot armor influences the world, destiny, luck, and people…"

"Your system makes you a bug that allows you to steal plot armor from other protagonists, but at the same time you yourself are a protagonist who not only has a plot armor of your own, but you have two…"

"Your two plot armors don't focus on combat so they won't help you become stronger, but your luck with women is comparable to the Heavenly Emperor who is said to have filled three worlds with his concubines..."

"The problem is the nature of your plot armor…"

"Just tell me what the fuck is going on!" - I'm sick of this shit.

"S-Sorry" – System Goddess stuttered nervously. – "In short, your two plot armors not only make it easy for you to get women, but the men also predestined for those women will feel extreme hatred towards you and as if that were not enough, your title [Enemy of Humanity] makes you a natural enemy of the human protagonists so they will become stupid and irrational due to the hatred they have for you…"

"The phenomenon of collective stupidity is a phenomenon that occurs close to the protagonists and has not yet been understood by scholars, but there is something that has been proven, the more a person hates you, the more stupid he will become to the point that a genius of the strategy will be willing to tell you all his master plan just to try to humiliate you even though this will give you the chance to fight back and kill him"

...…

"Hey Listen! I know what you think and yes, even I think this is stupid!" – Even the king of stupid thinks this is stupid.

Well, that explains why Yami's experts turned idiots when facing Kenichi...

"Wait" – Something doesn't make sense. – "Why don't Arashi and the other ex-protagonists hate me?"

"Well, it's simple" – System Goddess must be smiling wryly. – "You subdued them before they could hate you, now they are considered your subjects so they cannot hate you"

I can accept that, but this is still going to be a problem, I can already see myself getting into thousands of problems for continuing to steal women.

Will that stop me from increasing my harem?

Well… Ah, who cares, living is troublesome so a few extra troubles don't matter.

My talk with System Goddess took less than two seconds so before the soldiers could get there, I made some black blood cover Ada, Chris, and Alice's ears.

When their hearing senses were blocked, Ortro appeared at my side and without me having to tell her what to do, she opened her mouth causing all hell to break loose.

Formerly there were stories about how the song of the sirens could be compared to the heavenly whisper of angels and goddesses, but despite the beauty of the melody, those voices only led sailors to the deepest of the sea abyss.

Ortro's voice was beautiful and cute, she was like a child prodigy competing in a talent show.

Her beautiful voice began to sing a meaningless melody, devoid of rhythm and without form. It was a beautiful song that filled the listeners with happiness and curiosity, the more you listened to it the more you wanted to understand the incomprehensible melody, and the more you understood it, the more you realized that you did not understand anything.

The lack of understanding towards something you long for and the frustration of not being able to understand what you are constantly hearing can only lead to one path, despair.

Like a painter who is never satisfied with his art or a monk who can never reach enlightenment, the frustration of never reaching what is literally in your hands is what this nameless song represents.

A bizarre song that narrates the core of human madness, curiosity, fear and frustration.

Fear of the unknown, frustration of the impossible and curiosity of the incomprehensible.

As Ortro sang, the sounds of gunshots began to be heard throughout the corridors.

The number of approaching soldiers was diminishing. When the number of soldiers was ten, I made Ortro stop singing.

I sighed and walked into the main hallway.

Chris and Ada followed me confused as they don't know what just happened. Chris dragged Alice that she couldn't move because of my acupuncture.

The corridor was full of blood, the corpses of the soldiers were lying on the floor, all with the same type of wound, a shot to the head.

After walking around for a bit I finally found a group of survivors, those with the strongest willpower did not resort to suicide, but their haggard expressions showed that their minds had been damaged.

"Leon?" – Chris looked in disbelief at his friend who had amputated his own fingers with his teeth to maintain consciousness.

Leon looked up, his once heroic expression now a scowl of boundless hatred and resentment as he glared at Ada.

This idiot must hate Ada to death for betraying him and if it wasn't for his mental damage making him unable to speak I'm sure he would have started insulting Ada.

I'm glad he can't talk or I might accidentally kill him and he still has utility.

Chris rushed to try to help his friend which allowed Ada to speak in her ear so as not to be heard by the others. - "You did this?"

"These idiots were going to ambush us so I protected my wife" - I shrugged. – "Does what I did bother you?"

Adam smiled at me. – "It doesn't bother me, but I would like you to teach me how to use that skill"

"Sure, but that means having a permanent migraine and various mental problems such as schizophrenia" - I smiled.

"..." - Ada sighed.

"I can teach you other tricks, something like acupuncture points to kill with a needle" - I smiled gently.

"Thank you, I love you~" - Ada smiled like a happy girl and hugged me affectionately, which almost made Leon faint from fury.

She did it on purpose… I repeat, I love this woman.
