No Otaku with Harem System

Chapter 66: I'm Not The Hero After All So Nevermind

I delayed my recovery for another two days as I was curious to see if my lovers could manage the base in my absence as I would like to go exploring for several days on my own, staying in one place without going out makes me feel claustrophobic and I need to search more samples of mutants and mutated animals for my experiments.

Before the hospital group arrived I was the provider of resources for the base, with the increase in population we began to need more resources since several people were sick survivors, the elderly, and more children, in addition to those who practice martial arts, they require a higher protein intake.

Black Label wasn't a surprise box, it was a treasure chest. In just two days since they arrived, they formed a small laboratory to better study the virus that caused this disaster.

Shizuka joined them, even though she is clumsy and clueless, she has shown great talent in biology, genetics, and chemistry that even makes me want to ask her for classes.

Miki, the female sniper I met at the hospital mentioned to Shizuka that she had been studying the virus since the beginning of the outbreak, but could not devote all her time to looking for a cure as they were busy dealing with the waves of infected, now that they had a safe haven were able to focus more on the investigation.

Although a cure is still a long way off since the virus comes from Diclonius DNA mixed with God knows what crap, the group of doctors made two important discoveries.

The first and most important for the survivors, if the meat of mutant animals is cooked in a special way then it is not only so nutritious that one kilo of meat is enough for an ordinary person to be satisfied for 3 days, the factor can also be isolated harmful virus to stimulate genetic improvement without adverse side effects.

This does not apply to zombies, they are sacs of infection that cannot be processed, but in a way, a fascinating life cycle was formed.

Zombies eat humans and take sunlight to get stronger, mutant animals eat zombies to get stronger, and finally, humans can eat mutant animals for stronger bodies. If there are mutant plants then this virus is restructuring the food chain in a perfect way.

The second discovery and the one that seems to me the most important was thanks to a sudden idea that Aki had.

Using my genetic information alongside Kaede and Sayo's as catalysts to create a new version of the D99 virus which was the source of Sayo's strength.

In the absence of creativity from the scientific community, the result was called Gamma Serum because one of the researchers thought it sounded great.

I will not question the meaning of other people's names as my own naming sense sucks, the important thing is the effect of the serum.

Kaede is a pure Diclonius who is the basis of the D99 virus, Sayo is the perfect mix between Diclonius and human, and I am an anomaly who can ingest deadly doses of the virus without undergoing a mutation.

Gamma Serum has the property of awakening the genetic potential of human beings without causing unpleasant mutations or causing secondary effects on sanity, it is a perfect super-soldier serum that not only drastically improves the strength of those who ingest it if you are lucky you can unlock your own psychic ability.

Because producing the serum requires high-quality resources, only 3 doses could be produced which were for Saeko since she is the sub-leader of the base, Aki since she made the largest contribution although she gave her place to Mikoto since Aki is not a fighter and the last one for Yuko as she is the second strongest person in Black Label.

Kaede, Sayo, and I were discarded since the serum was created from our genetic information so it would only serve as a small stimulant which would be a waste.

I was supervising the manufacture of the serum, I made sure that the sample of my blood used for the virus was blood essence directly connected to my heart and soul to have control of the virus.

Thanks to my new title of King of the Lunatics and my Madness of Selfishness I can use small portions of my blood to create a form of parasitic insanity that infects others.

Gamma Serum is not only a power stimulant that will allow humans to face this disastrous world, it will be the key on my path to world domination as I will be able to make people follow me instinctively.

The level of mental corruption that my Madness causes is not as deep as the Insanity of Fear or the Insanity of Control, I cannot use people as mindless puppets, but it will be easier to create favorable feelings where men will see me as a suitable leader while women will think of me as the ideal partner.

This will really make me form a massive harem in this world and I have to check if I can use the serum in other worlds without side effects as the laws of each world are different.

I personally hate mind control to get women as it is boring and it is dangerous because if some of my lovers find out they might question if they are with me for real love or is it just mental manipulation that would create mistrust so I should avoid mind control.

The effect of the Gamma Serum is just a favorable impression that if I combine it with a heroic and trustworthy appearance then people will follow me like sheep following their shepherd.

When I get Aki and Miki in my harem I will spoil them for giving me such a wonderful gift, with this serum the chances of betrayals are reduced while I can start to create a group of fans who will be willing to die for my good.

Damn, I really became a third-rate villain, ah whatever, as I always say, it's all for the greater good.

With the good news, I wanted to see what Saeko would do, if she would start collecting groups to hunt mutant animals and search for materials needed for the serum or if she would wait for me to wake up.

Saeko didn't disappoint me, she had the group of girls who could order the mutant animals order them to act as baits to attract some mutant animals from the surroundings to hunt them which would not only provide food but also combat experience.

In these days that I was unconscious, I realized a problem, the excessive care that I have given to the group has prevented them from growing.

Since they have not faced any real dangers and only trained in a safe space, they lack mental strength and reaction capacity so I need to expose them to more battles, but making sure that my lovers will not die even if they make a mistake.

Again I have a lot of work to do and I have not even woken up from the coma, how problematic, even accepting Madness does not help me to reduce headaches.

Deciding that I had enough sleep I began to stimulate my brain with Hamon to wake up from the coma.

Something interesting that I discovered is that I can divide a part of my attention to keep a fragment of my consciousness within my Core of Existence so that I continue training without rest while the rest of my body continues to work, I am the workaholic corporate slave that all company wants to have.

While this will give me headaches, I have already gotten used to the constant migraine so it doesn't matter.

It's Shizuka's turn to take care of me, my lovers who are not too busy made a schedule to take care of me.

Sayo is always with me as a guard dog to protect me as she learns to control her new force by doing micro origami, a method I taught Kaede to learn to control her vector force.

I have to think about who to take to the Takagi mansion, if I want to get the resources of the Takagi family and Yuriko I need suitable people who at the same time are not a burden during the trip.

The trip to the hospital taught me to expect the unexpected and that at any moment an army of gray-skinned monsters can appear, crushing everything in their path.

But first I have to explain how I can rebuild my heart, how I obtained the Ki that should not exist in this world, and most importantly, explain why Sayo awakened blue energy since I gave her my heart.

I will have to apologize to Shigure as my first wife was not the first to whom I taught Rasen and in her place was Sayo.

The good side is that thanks to Sayo having my heart in a literal sense it is impossible for her to betray me, my Madness of Egoism made our connection deepen and now Sayo not only feels lust towards me, I literally became her person more prized surpassing her friends with whom she has lived all her life.

Getting a loyal, sexy nurse in exchange for inhuman suffering seems like a fair deal to me. In the end, the Buddhist path where suffering is balanced with pleasure was not as stupid as I thought.

Now, it's time to act, I already missed inventing stupid things.
