Chapter 353: Freya’s status
Seeing the amount of Soul Points he currently possessed, Alex rubbed his eyes and blinked several times, but even then, the number didn’t change.
‘3750…’ He repeated the number in his head, still unable to believe his eyes. ‘When did I gain so much?!’
He started to think back to what lustful acts he had done during the previous two days to see if that would explain the shocking amount of soul points he now had. After a few seconds, he thought he understood why he had so much, well, partly.
Firstly, there were the moments he had spent with Amelia. During the last two days, he had made love to her several times, and during one of their last encounters, he had even fucked her in the ass. He remembered that the system had once explained that the more depraved the sexual act he indulged in, the more points he would obtain. And as far as depraved acts went, fucking your sister in the ass was surely one of the most extreme.
Then there was Freya. Since yesterday, they had been all over each other, and just minutes ago, he had finally claimed her. The fact that at that moment she was a virgin, her social status, and her potential strength could have all played a favor in him obtaining more points than usual. Well, he didn’t yet know how powerful Freya was, so he couldn’t say with certainty that her strength played a huge role in him obtaining this many soul points.
Finally, he didn’t know if this counted, but yesterday he had spent a good amount of time making out and groping his cousin Talia. Maybe that also granted him some Soul Points.
Despite being curious about how he had acquired all these Soul Points, Alex was far more interested in how to spend them.
‘There are two ways to spend my Soul Points: either by using them to enhance my stats or by acquiring another ability,’ Alex reasoned.
Considering that each Soul Point granted him an enhancement of five in any of his physical stats, if he invested all the Soul Points he currently possessed into them, he would become a true monster!
However, there was a problem.
Initially, Alex had been accumulating his Soul Points so he could obtain another ability—several, even. Having astronomical physical might was good, great even, but it could only take him so far. What good is physical strength if you’re buried underwater or burned to a crisp?
Alex wanted a new ability, and he wanted it soon. But when he thought about how strong he would become if he invested all his points into his stats, he hesitated.
‘No, I shouldn’t think like that,’ he told himself. ‘I should be more concerned with which of the two is more urgent.’
After a few minutes, he came to a decision: he would save his points to acquire another ability. Based on his experience so far, gaining an ability was far harder than merely boosting his body. He could grow stronger naturally through training, but no amount of training would grant him a new ability.
‘There’s also the fact that Freya’s current ability will disappear after a month, so if I want to copy it, I must do so within that month,’ Alex mused.
After a moment, he thought of a question he needed answered before proceeding with his decision.
‘Hey system, the stronger the woman I bed is, the more points will I obtain, right?’
[That’s exact]
‘Then what metric is used to determine whether my women are strong or weak? Is it based on the world’s standards… or on my own strength?’
[The strength of the host’s women is determined relative to the host’s own strength. If they are stronger than you, you will gain more points by bedding them than if they are weaker, regardless of how powerful they may seem to an external observer.]
Alex sighed. That was exactly what he had feared.
If he correctly understood what the system had just said, then right now—while he wasn’t yet overwhelmingly stronger than his wives—was the perfect moment to “farm” points as efficiently as possible.
‘That also means I need to find a way to increase my wives’ strength as I continue to grow stronger,’ he mused.
The problem was, he had no idea how to make that happen. He had already asked the system if he could use his Soul Points to enhance his wives, but the answer had been a solid no.
‘Lilia and Amelia are fine for now, but the one I really need to find a way to strengthen quickly is Anna,’ Alex thought.
Truth be told, Anna wasn’t lacking in talent, nor was she weak for her level. The issue was her rate of progress. She simply wasn’t growing at the same pace as him. This was a problem for all of his wives, but in her case, it was even more pronounced.
Thanks to Zid, Lilia was now growing stronger day by day, her rate of improvement almost matching Alex’s own. And after what he had witnessed Amelia accomplish just a few hours ago, he was certain that her own growth rate would soon pick up as well.
‘Maybe helping Anna awaken—or rather, fully discover—her darkness ability and bloodline could be the key to making her stronger,’ Alex wondered.
‘There is also Freya now,’ Alex thought, glancing down at the gorgeous woman who had her head resting on his shoulder, her eyes closed and a smile on her face.
‘Hey system, show me Freya’s status,’ he called out mentally.

Soon, the translucent screen displaying his own status shifted, and information about Freya began to appear.
[ Name : Freya Drazen
Age : 44
Level : 1
Strenght : 1000
Agility: 1000
Stamina : 1000
Defense : 1000
Mana points : 9
Ability: Multiminds
Nickname : Ice beauty, Matriarch Drazen, cold calculator, harshest negotiator, marked, the cursed one]
‘Ahh, I now understand where most of the Lust Points come from,’ Alex thought as he analyzed Freya’s stats.
After learning about her first ability and the fact that some of the abilities she had awakened over the years had permanent effects, he had obviously prepared himself to see shocking stats—but not this shocking!
‘She is stronger than me,’ Alex sighed.
What he failed to realize, however, was that despite Freya’s overwhelming stats, her lack of training made her an easy opponent for him. Since she had been forbidden from training or leveling up, she had almost no actual combat experience. No matter how impressive her stats were, power without practice was meaningless.
‘And what’s with her stats being so balanced?’ Alex thought in amazement.
Despite her high stat points, Freya had all of her attributes at identical levels. This was incredibly rare, as most people naturally excelled in one area while being weaker in others. Maintaining such an equilibrium was practically impossible unless achieved through external means.
‘I wonder if this is the doing of her first ability or if she gained another ability that helped her maintain this balance,’ Alex mused, rubbing his chin.
What he was certain about, however, was that right now, Freya was exactly what he needed—not just to farm Soul Points, but also to acquire new abilities.
‘Show me the description of her ability,’ Alex commanded mentally.
The translucent screen shifted once more, revealing another panel filled with detailed information about her ability.
[Ability: Multiminds
Grade: High
Description: A powerful mental ability that allows its user to split their consciousness into multiple independent thought processes. The number of splits is limited only by the user’s mental strength and cognitive capacity. Each split mind can function autonomously, processing different tasks simultaneously without interfering with one another. However, the user can also choose to synchronize and combine the efforts of these distinct minds.
Points needed to copy: 30,000 Soul Points]
‘Damn, I don’t even know if this ability is cheap or expensive,’ Alex thought, feeling a little frustrated.
The cost in Soul Points was undeniably high—far beyond what he currently had. However, after reading the description, he couldn’t outright call it expensive either.
When Freya had first mentioned her ability, he had assumed she could only divide her mind in two. But this description clearly stated there was no upper limit—she could split her consciousness as many times as she could handle, limited only by her mental strength. That kind of potential was staggering.
‘Hey system, if I were to acquire Freya’s ability, how many times would I be able to split my mind?’ he asked, his curiosity piqued.
He wasn’t really expecting a response. As far as he was concerned, the system wasn’t particularly suited for answering theoretical questions like this. Yet, surprisingly, after a few seconds, it replied.
[Based on your current mental strength and the adaptation period required to develop additional split minds, if you were to acquire this ability immediately, you would be able to divide your consciousness a minimum of four times and, at best, up to eight times.]
‘That just makes this ability even more tempting,’ Alex thought after hearing the system’s response. ‘Alright, I’ve decided. I’ll keep accumulating Soul Points until I can afford this ability.’
Of course, saying it was one thing—actually doing it was another. He barely had three thousand Soul Points right now, and he needed thirty thousand. It wouldn’t be easy in the slightest.
‘Looks like you’re going to be working overtime this month,’ Alex mused, chuckling to himself as he glanced down at his cock.
He might not have the points needed to copy Freya’s ability yet, but he definitely knew how to earn them.
He glanced down at Freya’s naked body and immediately his cock stirred at the sight of her full hips, narrow waist, and large, inviting breasts that seemed almost too perfect to be real. Without hesitation, his hands moved toward them, his fingers sinking into their plush softness as he began fondling them.
