Ranking System

Returning to Earth, we were back to where we were before we started our invasion. The underground desert was quiet, with only the five of us being the only ones that returned.

As for the others, they would return at a later date. It would be a shame if they were wiped and the teleporter was close so nothing would happen to the world of Gaia.

"Linsey, would you be staying?"

"I would love to, but being the big boss of a company isn't easy. The paperwork would kill me...." Linsey muttered the last part and continued to speak.

"I'll see you all again. See ya!"

Linsey teleported immediately, going back to her office. Nene and I looked at Constance, looking for a ride back home. Constance sighed as she resigned to be our designated driver.

"Is that a car..? How does that work in the desert..?"

"Poor Cry Baby~! So innocent and naive~!"

Nene made fun of her while patting her back. Courtney felt she was being made fun of but still thought about how a car could travel in a desert.

Going in the car, Constance drove us up in the air. The shock in Courtney's eyes could be seen. All these new experiences she would see would take a while to digest. She will adapt sooner or later.

With Courtney so distracted, I licked her on the cheeks. There hasn't been a time when I wanted to tease someone so much. Courtney's the type of person to get teased a lot. Whether she likes it or not.

"Waaah..."

Nene and I laughed at her expression. I'm surprised that Constance could put up with my constant flirting. Courtney squealed at my action but didn't seem too mad about it. In fact, she seemed happy about it.

Our journey back home went smoothly. It was way past midnight, and everyone at home should be asleep.

"Welcome to my house. It may not be as large as your previous place, but you'll like it soon enough."

"Let me give you a quick tour."

Since it was already late into the night, Constance and Nene went to their room and rested. They were considerate enough to leave Courtney alone with me.

Like I said earlier, I gave Courtney a short tour and let her pick a room. I offered to help her settle, but she was too embarrassed to let me do so.

"Then I will see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow..."

I kissed her before going to my room. Nene and Reina were already asleep, and I was surprised that Nene could fall asleep that quickly.

Now that I was alone, it was time to receive my reward. This could be my biggest gain yet. The only thing remotely close would probably be the dragon heart.

[System: Rank One Conqueror's Reward Box]

The system's interface had a beautiful white box with a red ribbon on top. With the system giving me the option to open the box, without a second thought, I rubbed my hand, hoping something good would come out of it.

[Rank One Conqueror's Reward Box Opened:

Arrival Of A Legend.

Crystalize Stone Of Purity

Silent Thief

Undoing Of A Madness.]

Four rewards were given. Each of these items sounded useful. Before I got too excited, I used the system to identify each reward.

[Arrival Of A Legend: A hero will always be remembered for their deeds. The more famous their legend, the stronger they're. Summon a hero within a third-rank world. If they agree, they will form a contract with you.]

This is interesting. A hero, huh? Undoubtedly, a hero will be something intriguing to look at. But won't it be exciting when I bully one from a higher rank world?

There could also be a chance for me to gain a new bodyguard. I want to show them off to the world where I summoned them. I couldn't wait to see their faces when their hero became my dog.

[Crystalize Stone Of Purity: A fragment of a destroyed world's will. Crystalize into an energy source. Absorbing this stone will purify your body.]

Purify my body? I held this stone in my hand and felt the energy within this stone entering my body. I felt a sense of clarity, and my body became lighter. The stone's energy automatically entered and improved my body.

[Silent Thief: If the target is unaware, take any item the target possesses. Limited to one use.]

This could be useful, but I could outright rob someone. Should I give it to someone else instead? Knowing what this does, I looked into my next prize.

[Undoing Of A Madness Necklace: Wearing this artifact will clear your mind. Any mental attack will be automatically resisted.]

One of my problems has been solved, I don't know how useful it would be, but it would at least suppress some of the side effects of my skill.

If I compared my reward to Cyrus'. The things he got were undoubtedly better. I need to know what Nene got before I can conclude these thoughts.

The energy within the stone was still intense. I wonder how long it would take before I fully absorb this stone.

Now that I have opened everything. With nothing else to do, I went to bed without waking up the two girls.

[Third Person POV]

Two people could be conversing in a forest inside a wooden house. Both of them are females with green hair and large breasts. One could tell that there was some semblance between them.

"Claire, are you really leaving?"

"Yes, Mom. I found the one. I have to before I miss my chance."

The mother's tears started to shed once her daughter said those words. For the race Alraune, the population of men is almost non-existent.

For the Alraune to survive, they must find a male of a humanoid species to mate with. Due to this nature, they were blessed with exaggerated charm.

"To think my useless daughter found someone she loves... I never thought the day would come..."

"Mom!!! Stop embarrassing me! I'm just a late bloomer."

The woman shed more tears, listening to her daughter talk.

"Let's celebrate with our neighbor before you leave."

"Mom!!! I want to leave now!!!"

Tired of her mother's reaction, Claire immediately exits and runs for it. Eventually, the mother convinced the daughter to stay for a day and celebrate.
