Harem Overlord

"You are a monster you know." Ayaka muttered as Kai panted.

In front of him was a ten thousand symbols formation which was brightly glowing in the night. The formation then moved together to create a barrier as Ayaka sighed.

More than a year had passed since Ayaka had started training Kai and she was beyond disbelief at the results she got. Within just a month, he was able to create a thousand symbols formation within a few seconds. Four months later, he could create a five thousand symbols formations in a few seconds.

And seven months later, he could now create a ten thousand symbols formations within a few seconds. Ayaka had thought that she had been a monster for learning how oi make a ten thousand symbols formations within a year but Kai broke her reward by reducing the time by half.

The formation suddenly vanished as Kai slumped on the ground while panting. The formation had taken a huge toll on both his mental physical strength.

Ayaka on the other hand sighed and sat down in front of Kai. She then poked his forehead with her fingers as Kai raised his eyebrows.

"What was that for?" He asked while smiling.

"Nothing. I just feel like beating you to death but since you are my dear disciple, I could only poke you in the forehead." Ayaka sighed as Kai blinked in confusion.

"That was a joke right?" He asked nervously as Ayaka stared right into his eyes and he sweat dropped.

"Does it look like I am joking?" She asked as Kai quickly shook her head and she started giggling.

"I am just joking Kai. Don\'t take my words too seriously." She replied as Kai sighed.

"How old are you Ayaka?" He asked as Ayaka raised her eyebrows. In the past year, Kai had gotten quite familiar with Ayaka and had even started calling her by her name. But he still didn\'t know many things about her.

"You don\'t ask a woman her age." Ayaka replied as he rolled his eyes.

"I didn\'t know that you are sensitive about your age." He replied in mock surprise as it was Ayaka\'s turn to roll her eyes.

"If you really want to know, then my age is about a millennium and five hundred years old." Ayaka replied as Kai\'s eyes widened.

"I thought that you were very old like five millenniums old at least." He replied in shock as Ayaka glared at him.

"How did you even thought of that age? Do I look like an old person? I am still at the soul divinity realm you know." She replied in an annoyed tone as Kai shrugged.

"Whatever. So now that a year has passed, do you still need me to pose as your lover?" He then asked as Ayaka didn\'t reply.

"Well, I don\'t have anything to do anyways so maybe I should stay here for a long time. But not as your fake lover but your friend." He suddenly said as Ayaka\'s face brightened.

While seeing this, he wondered whether she had spent her entire life alone or whether something had happened in her past. This led to him wondering whether the lines \'Birds of a feather, flock together\' was true since Kai\'s childhood wasn\'t the ideal childhood anyone should have.

"By the way, what\'s the next level in formations?" He then asked as Ayaka shook her head.

"I can\'t tell you anything about that. The next breakthrough in formations will be the last step you will require to create formations in a second but you will have to make that breakthrough yourself." She replied as Kai sighed.

"Than that might take a few centuries." He replied as Ayaka nodded.

"I made that breakthrough in five years and judging at the speed you are going at, you might even make that breakthrough earlier." She replied as Kai nodded.

"That reminds me, I have to go away. I think I am close to breaking through to the immortality realm." Ayaka suddenly said as he nodded and saw her entering the house.

"I wonder how long I will be here for." He muttered as time passed by.

***

Kai lost track of time after some months. The only thing he did was cultivate and practice formations. It still took him about five to ten seconds to create a formation but he was still doing all right.

He didn\'t see Ayaka even once as she was still in secluded cultivation. Kai wondered how long it would take him to reach the immortality realm since he was currently at the imperial core realm.

As he was sitting around cultivating, he suddenly felt a ripple of power throughout the realm and it was powerful enough to push him back. He flew through the air and crashed down on the ground as he glanced at the house in the distance.

He saw Ayaka coming out of the house with a bright smile and judging from the wave of power that had knocked him back, she had probably broken through to the immortality realm.

But everything suddenly went black.

***

Kosma had been watching everything with interest but she was confused when everything went black again. She looked around to see if anything else had appeared but nothing happened.

"I didn\'t know that my life was that interesting to watch. I should probably charge people money to watch my life." Kosma turned around to see Kai standing a few meters away.

He was smiling at her but there was no amusement or joy in his smile. His eyes looked a little tired and wild as he examined her expression.

"What happened next?" Kosma couldn\'t help but ask but he shook his head.

"Life went on like it always does. I thought that you knew everything about me but I guess that was a lie as well." He replied in a dangerous tone which for some reason, made chills run against Kosma\'s back.

\'He looks so shaken. I wonder what happened.\' Kosma thought as she suddenly felt something crept up her body.

And with that, she was thrown out of Kai\'s mind.
