Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword

"Each person that enters a battle harem is expected to bring forth an offering, kind of like a dowry. If a person comes into Starfall with an offering of 10%, it means that 10% of his stats will be given to me. I in turn will choose what relationship we will have and complete the contract.

"Earlier I said that Artorius is my husband but that was not due to matrimony, I meant he is one of my submissives with a spouse rank. For Arcus harems they are called husbands, while Gladius harems call them wives."

The ebony-haired princess waved her hands frantically as she spoke. It seemed to show how against she was at the idea of becoming Artorius's wife. Knowing that the next question would be about the ranks Rhyne pulled out a sheet of paper from the table beside her and wrote down some words. When she finished, she showed the information to Hiro.

Hiro who saw the percentages had more questions and quickly asked, "I understand that the greater the percentage the higher the rank. But what is the percentage based on?"

Rhyne then pulled up her Battle Harem status screen and pointed to a section. Hiro who followed her finger read the words she highlighted aloud.

"Domination Available 10%?"

The princess then clapped her hands as she explained. "Correct, each dominant has a resource called Domination. This is what they used to control the people in their harem. The higher the Domination used on the Submissive, the greater the percentage of the Dominant's power is given to that Submissive."

Hiro who remembered the info on Rhyne's screen then surmised.

'Then that means that a spouse ranked submissive has 10% of the Dominant's power. Following this pairing, the admirer rank would have half a percent, and the pitiful toy rank would not even get a a third of a percent.'

Not understanding why the toy rank would even exist Hiro then followed up with a question. "Is there even a need for the ranks below devoted?"

Rhyne made a wry smile as the question was obviously related to the embarrassing names of the lower ranks. The princess then made a disclaimer before speaking.

"I wasn't the one who named the ranks okay? I find it cruel to call someone your toy. But to answer your question, normally it would not make sense, but percentages are a fascinating thing. 0.01% is for toy ranks, right? If someone had 1000 points in STR that's 10 points that will be shared with the submissive.

"Now imagine if you had numbers that reach tens or hundreds of thousands or even millions. For the record, my dad has an STR stat of 1.8 million."

Hiro became dumbfounded. 'There is a person that has 1.8 million in stats for a single attribute? That got to be cheating.'

Rhyne who relished the lively faces Hiro made quickly answered her own question.

"Even the lowest percentage or 0.01% for a toy in my father's harem would have 18,000 points in strength just from being part of his battle harem."

'FUCK! Even the lowest toy from daddy has more than nine times the amount of strength of Artorius? Wouldn't that make people in his harem absolute monsters?

'Fucking shit if he had a wife at overlord rank, wouldn't she have 540,000 in strength from the get-go! This Battle Harem system is absurd! Wait! In that case how much would Rhyne have? How much did she give Artorius? '

Hiro then looked at Rhyne in awe, the man thought to ask for specifics when Rhyne placed her finger on his lips as she smiled.

"It is considered extremely rude to ask about one's Domination Links but to answer your question I have a total of 200,000 in strength because of my father and my own abilities."

Hiro's jaw dropped comically this seemingly harmless beauty could punch him with 20,000 times the force of an average man. If Rhyne was the one holding the stick, wouldn't his limbs fly off if she swatted him? Then Hiro remembered something.

'Didn't Artorius only have 2100 points in STR? If he has 10% of Rhyne's stats due to being a spouse rank doesn't that mean 2000 of his 2100 came from her instead of his own abilities?

'This con artist! After 3 years he only had 100 points! I have been duped by this lazy mother fucker! What difference in abilities! You basically grew stronger from a sugar mommy you white-haired gigolo!'

The man who had the realization that he wasn't in as bad of a situation as it seemed, made a face full of anger as he ground his teeth. But then he stopped. Even with Artorius being a gigolo doesn't that mean if Rhyne just increased her Domination of him, he would get even stronger? Why hasn't she done so?

Hiro then looked at Rhyne and asked. "Why don't you have a Domination link above spouse rank? Wouldn't that help you more in the fight against your brother? Why do you need me then?"

The princess sat down in silence as she seemed to mull over the question, after a few moments she answered seemingly in bad spirits. "The battle harem system is not all sunshine and roses. It also has a dark side. I told you before, right? When a Sub joins a harem, he or she must make a dowry in the form of a stat percentage. The Dom in kind would choose their relationship and create a Link to finalize it."

The transmigrator felt there was more to this story than it seems, so he patiently listened.

"The Domination Link goes both ways, it is the promise of the dom to the sub, and it is a symbol of trust. Unfortunately, that trust can just as easily be broken. Remember what I told you about Dom ranks? So long as your rank is higher than the Sub, you can dominate him or her. This truth doesn't change even if the Sub is already part of someone else's harem."

Rhyne stopped speaking to allow the implications to sink in and then continued. "The Sub holds part of the power of Dom, and if they willingly or unwillingly get dominated by another Dom, the Link they held from their original Dom would not return but be added to the power of the second Dominator. My father called the event Netorare or NTR for short."
