Reincarnated as a step-dad in a fantasy world

Chapter 260 : A fist

"HEY YOU TWO, GET OUT FROM THERE, IT'S MORNING ALREADY."

Alex and Amelia were immediately pulled from their odd world and came to their senses.

"HEY, DO YOU HEAR ME, I SAID THA-"

"We heard you Maya, stop banging on the door," Amelia said, her voice still breathless from their lovemaking.

"FINALLY!" Maya exclaimed, "Quickly prepare yourselves, I'm starving here." Maya was about to leave when she turned back and added, "And don't try to do anything, it's already late as is!"

"We said that we hear you kiddo, leave us alone," Alex replied with an annoyed tone.

"Okay," Maya responded before leaving.

As soon as she left, Amelia began to giggle, "It seems that we deprived her of sleep last night as well."

"Apparently," Alex chuckled and leaned in to give Amelia a kiss. "Good morning, my love."

"Good morning," Amelia reciprocated his kiss, her eyes sparkling with affection.

Alex pulled himself out of Amelia's inner cave, allowing a mix of sperm and love juices to flow onto her thighs, and laid next to her with a content smile.

Sitting up, Amelia observed the thick sperm leaking out of her. "With how much you've been cumming inside me these last few days, I wouldn't be surprised if I'm already pregnant," Amelia said with a playful smirk.

"I hope that's the case," Alex replied, flashing Amelia a grin.

"Look at him smiling, hoping to have knocked up his little sister, how shameless are you, brother?" Amelia teased, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Almost as shameless as a sister who is dreaming of giving birth to her brother's children," Alex replied with a chuckle, pulling Amelia into a tight embrace.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment before exploding with laughter.

"You're right, we're both shameless. But I wouldn't have it any other way," Amelia uttered after a moment.

Alex kissed the top of her head, his arms tightening around her. "Neither would I, my love. Neither would I."

"I will go prepare something to eat," Amelia said, sitting up and tying her disheveled black hair into a messy bun. 

"Wait," Alex called out as he took her hand in his. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

"Forgetting some-Ah!" Understanding what Alex meant, Amelia turned around, took hold of her right breast, and stuffed it into Alex's mouth.

Far from resisting the sudden intrusion, the corners of Alex's lips curved upward as he licked the sensitive pink bud. A slight moan of pleasure came from Amelia's mouth, and she wrapped her arms around Alex's head, pulling him closer.

With his mouth closed around her breast areola, Alex kept licking her nipple for a little while before he began to suck on it, drawing the familiar sweet milk. A moan escaped Amelia's lips, and she quickly closed her mouth to muffle it.

Since the first time he tasted her breast milk, Alex had decided that as long as they traveled together, not a single day would pass without him drinking it. So, uncaring of Amelia's struggle to contain her moans, Alex continued to drink the milk coming from her.

After a while, he switched to her other breast, repeating the same process of teasing before he began to drink the delectable milk once again. As he did, he didn't forget to massage the other breast and gently pinch her nipple, eliciting more soft moans from Amelia.

After a while and under Maya's incessant banging on the door, he finally let go of her breast. Licking the few droplets that dripped down her pillowy breast, Alex finally released Amelia.

"Thanks, sis, that was delicious," Alex said as he licked his lips, a satisfied grin spreading across his face.

Amelia blushed slightly, her cheeks turning a soft pink. "You're welcome," she replied softly, standing up and beginning to gather her clothes.

After fumbling around, she found her clothes and got dressed before leaving the carriage to the greatest relief of Maya.

"Finally!" The young heiress exclaimed, "I thought you would never get out."

Hearing Maya throwing a tantrum, Alex chuckled and laid down on his back, a satisfied expression on his face.

'Status,' Alex called in his mind, and soon, a translucent blue screen appeared before his eyes.

Glancing at his current status screen, the satisfied expression on Alex's face grew and became a grin. 

Alex new status screen read :

[Name: Alexandre Eswald

Age: 60

Level: 4

Strength: 640

Agility: 640

Stamina: 700

Defense: 500

Mana Points: 95

Harem: Lilia Eswald, Annaline Maxwell, Amelia Eswald;

Abilities: Soul Linkage, Smoke sovereign;

Soul Points: 552]

The least one could say after examining his status screen was that Alex's stats had been significantly enhanced over the previous days.

His stats, however, were not the most dramatic change. The most striking difference was the number of soul points he currently possessed. Before his encounter with the dungeon boss, Alex had barely two soul points to his name, but now, after several intimate sessions with his sister, the amount of points he had amassed was staggering.

'Five hundred soul points,' Alex repeated in his mind, feeling a sense of wealth he had never experienced before. He had never possessed so many soul points in his status screen.

Of course, if one remembered that copying abilities such as Cell Master would require billions of soul points, one might think that his current total was merely pocket change. Still, Alex refused to let such thoughts dampen his spirits. Abilities like Cell Master were extraordinary to begin with, and couldn't be compared to more common abilities.

After reveling in his newfound wealth of soul points, Alex's gaze shifted back to his stats. Besides his defense stat, which remained unchanged, all his other stats had seen significant improvements.

Naturally, he had used his soul points to enhance these stats, something he was avoiding doing, at least for now.

Alex didn't want to become overly reliant on his system. It didn't mean he wouldn't use it to grow stronger—that would be foolish. However, he was determined not to become too dependent on it.

Before acquiring this system, he was just a normal human, albeit stronger than average. He understood that one day, he might lose the system. If that were to happen after he had become too reliant on it, things wouldn't end well for him.

Moreover, he understood that not everything could be achieved through the system alone. That's why, although he would continue to use the system to grow stronger, Alex didn't want it to be his sole source of power.

However, things weren't going as smoothly as he had hoped.

In essence, Alex had become too strong for conventional training methods to be effective. Normally, if one wanted to increase stats like stamina, strength, and agility, regular workouts would suffice. Over time, one would notice improvements. But for Alex, who had hundreds of points in his various stats, it was difficult to see any progress from simple workouts.

He understood that it wasn't that working out wasn't effective for him; it was just that his stats were too high for the workouts he was doing to make any significant difference.

'I would need to find a training program adapted for people with off-the-charts physical capabilities...if something like that even exists,' Alex thought to himself.

In any case, right now, Alex felt that he had become so strong that fighting the dungeon boss wouldn't have been as taxing as it had been, though he still doubted he could take it down without Amelia's help.

Previously, before further enhancing his stats, Alex estimated that his strength and agility were around low to mid-level 5. Now, he was much stronger than before, but he still doubted that he could take on a high-level 5 opponent head-on.

Plus, it was worth noting that physical capabilities didn't automatically make someone stronger than another. Other aspects such as the intelligence of one's opponent, their technique, and fighting style were vital to consider. All of that was without mentioning the greatest wildcard of all: abilities.

Abilities came in all forms and shapes, and while it may be rare, it wasn't impossible to find abilities that could bridge the gap between levels. In fact, it was in the hope of obtaining another ability that Alex was currently holding onto his soul points instead of using them to further enhance his strength.

Besides all those mentioned, there were also factors such as sovereignty that could significantly alter the outcome of a fight.

All of that to say, Alex might have become much stronger compared to a few days ago, but he still wasn't at a level where he could afford to be complacent or think too highly of himself.

'Let's go eat something,' Alex said as he pushed himself off the bed of leaves.

He put on his pants and, not even bothering to do the same for his shirt, he opened the carriage door and stepped outside.

However, Alex had barely stepped outside when, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a fist rocketing toward his head.
