My Servant System-Chapter 203 202: Thoughts

---

A few things to start off...

First, two chapters today, both shorter ones.

Second, about the system, I think the route I'll take is going to leave it more as a way for Kat to see her 'stats' and 'skills', as well as how adept she is at certain things; it'll still have cheat ways of progressing, like the Stat/Skill Points and the Shop, but it'll continue on in the background.

I was honestly debating whether or not to just... axe the system entirely, but I think it'll remain the same as now, just with a larger impact on the story... kinda; more quests and objectives for Kat to meet, but they will be things in the background, due to her nature.

Third, I started that Cultivation Book; 'Rise of the Useless Wife'.

But, as the title suggests, and as I say in the synopsis of the book, it's dark, so if you don't like dark, don't bother with it. I honestly just wanted it on 'paper', and I mind as well keep it on the site so that people can read it.

It will not take away from my current works, and will be updated slowly; also, unlike everything else, I have a definite end for it, so it'll reach ~100 chapters and be done.

Anyways, that's that, hope you enjoy Servant System going forwards~!

Kat PoV

Lounging in the bath, I let the warm water lap at my aching body, trying to relax.

Like always, whenever Jahi got into the mood, she took her indulgence of my body as far as she could manage, and even after I was healed, the exhaustion remained.

However, I used these moments of relaxation to think, letting my thoughts run free.

No one bothered me during this time; usually because Jahi would find one of the others to satiate the rest of her desires, while the other two would give me the space, knowing what I had just gone through.

Ignoring the noises from the room behind me, I let my thoughts drift around, analyzing each as they appeared.

Of course, the most common ones were of either the imminent future or things from the past, all of which tended to be connected.

I had the warning that 'future' me gave, about not trusting someone; who, I had no idea.

'Her' words had been jumbled when she tried to speak that name, and afterwords was when that giant eye appeared; now that I knew more about the world, albeit just a bit more, I had a guess that that person was a Frogkin or Goatkin; the eye had been rather... unique.

However, no one fit that description, and besides that, who knows if someone could try and alter themselves using magic; it seemed entirely possible.

All I could do with that warning was continue to strengthen myself, and I knew not to rush.

I couldn't push my core too much, nor could I find ways to rapidly stimulate my growth without leaving Jahi behind, which I wasn't going to do.

With my system being tied to her, and by proxy her wives, I needed to be near them to get the full use of my system, and honestly...

I was too attached to leave; the idea of being apart scared me, and I knew it to be unhealthy.

But... I couldn't help it; that tall, sadistic but kind Demoness had become my anchor in this new life, and with storms brewing on the horizon, I didn't want to be cast adrift.

As for the system, I was curious about its upcoming change; even I could see the flaws it had, but I could also see the large benefits it had gifted me.

The [Skills] were all useful, and each was something that I needed to further cultivate into something better.

They strengthened me, and by extension, allowed me to better support Jahi, Anput, and Leone.

Of course, it also was barely present; even now I could tell that it was 'asleep', preparing for the upcoming change at Level 25.

Would it be a large change, or no?

That was out of my control, but what wasn't was honing my own skills more; that was something I needed to start putting more focus on.

My enchanting had been halted with recent events, so I needed to return to polishing that; now that we had money, I could afford to buy cheap weapons and practice enchanting the blades.

It would provide excellent practice on real enchantments, and I could resell the blades to the Guild, netting some more coin for me to use.

Besides enchanting, I needed to Dual Cultivate more with the girls; normal way or not.

The refinement of my mana was a good way to strengthen myself and my girls at the same time.

I could improve my Water, Wind, and Ice with each of the girls, and that would allow my spells to be stronger.

As they improved, I could also start implementing more complexities into my repertoire of combat oriented spells, improving attack spells, defense spells, and support spells.

Healing was something I needed to improve to a large degree; both the skill and the spell.

My Cloaks needed to be better, and I was getting close to finding a way to truly layer them on top of one another, enhancing their usefulness.

As for my attack spells, I was doing fine in that regard, I just needed to start practicing them.

Staring down at the water that lapped at my skin, I sighed as my thoughts turned to the current problem; Jillian. f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

The Elf had powerful backing, an unhealthy obsession with me, mysterious strenght, an equally crazy fiancee, and more.

While the Marquess would be focusing more on the House versus House aspect of the 'war', I needed to start helping Jahi prepare for the 'battle' against Jillian.

For now, since there is no definitive proof that the Ikala's attacked us on the Sariel's orders, our hands are tied politically; we might know that Jillian was behind it, but we can't act on that, since the Ikala's would just turn into the Sariel's scapegoat.

That meant that we couldn't go after Jillian physically just yet, so we had time to prepare, just like them.

Hopefully I could find other ways to improve Jahi's skills, as well as Anput's and Leone's.

Each needed some polish in certain areas, as did I.

Which meant we needed to free up a large amount of time by getting the History Class and Combat Class out of our schedule; Jahi and Anput were too strong for the beginners course, and Leone and I could likely pass through with some extra effort.

As for History, we need to study a little more, but it needs to be completed.

That time has become more valuable than gold, and it would be used to either delve into the Caverns for practical applications of our skills, or we would be at home, training individually.

Looking at the tired expression of the Dogkin woman in the water, I sighed again before getting up, deciding to rest.

Drying off, I slipped past the three women and entered the living room, collapsing on the couch and staring up at the dark ceiling, before eventually drifting off to sleep.
