Companion Chapter.
The following is a breakdown explanation of how a person becomes powerful through the battle harem system.
In his original life, Hiro died at level 49, he died with only 2600 stats. In contrast right now. The butcher the following as his basic stat page.
—————————
Name: Hiroto Musashi
Race: Reincarnator | Transmigrator | Ancient Human
Past Lives: (Hiroyuki Mitsurugi)
Level: 70
Age: 18
Title: Heavenly Sword
HP 1,302,289/1,302,289| MP 537,360/537,360| SP 739,365/739,365 |AP 712,900/712,900
STR 14,258 +27,850 (1000)| AGI 13,443 +24,501 (1000)| INT 13,434 +25,408 (1000)
———————————
To explain this increase let's follow it using only 1 stat, STR or Strength. Hiro at Level 70 has the following breakdown.
Base Level STR - 117 (Starting STR)
Level up STR - 499 (Level 70 *Regalia Clutch 2.7)
Ingested Extrinsic - 3000 ( ICE System, Reward 1000 x 3)
Free Points Spent in STR - 36
Butcher Skill bonus - 450 ([Voracious] Stat Bonus)
The Affection life cycle has four steps. 1. Link (Intrinsic) 2 . Dowry (Intrinsic). 3. Link Return (Extrinsic) 4. Dowry Return (Extrinsic).
Difference between Intrinsic and Extrinsic Stats.
Intrinsic - Stats within the body of the System user, controls the amount of HP and Calibers a system user has.
Extrinsic - Stats that boost the body due to skills, gear, or bonuses. Grants physical stat bonus effects but does not contribute to the calibers and HP and can be lost at any time.
Hiro's base STR is 4102, due to being part of a battle harem he sends a part of this stat to his submissives. Raylene is an empress thus she gets a Link STR from her dom. At 30% that is 1231, Raylene's own skills and stats are added to this equating to 2754.
This 2754 becomes the basis for her Dowry sent to Hiro. At one hundred percent due to being enslaved, she sends the whole number. So Hiro's Intrinsic STR becomes 4102 + 2754. Afterwards, Hiro would send an Extrinsic link return to Raylene.
Normally it would be just 30% of whatever Raylene sends to Hiro. But Hiro has five submissives. Thus the breakdown is as follows.
1. Raylene (Vaginarnis) = 2754 (100%)
2. Jade (Vaginarnis) = 2243 (100%)
3. Vanessa (Vaginarnis) = 2380 (100%).
4. Tsugumi (Human) = 980 (55%).
5. Ryuuka (Dragonkin) = 1529 (55%).
The Total Intrinsic Stat Dowry Hiro receives is 10029, plus his original 4102 which boosts his intrinsic value to 14131. Lastly, Hiro is the grand dominant of the Sword Dynasty and gets a 2% stat bonus of 127. This puts his total at 14,258.
14,258 is then forwarded to each submissive as the Link return. Each sub would send back a dowry return equal to their own stat plus the link return. To Raylene, it would be as follows.
1. Base STR Stat = 2754
2. Link Return = 4277 (30% of 14,258)
3. Dance of Valor and Glory = 2754 (Skill effect: STR x 2 (Intrinsic STR as Extrinsic) )
Together with her combat doctrine Raylene's total Extrinsic STR is 4277 + 2754. Added to her Intrinsic stat of 2754 the total is 9785. Raylene then sends this Stat bonus as a Dowry Return to Hiro.
The Following is the Total extrinsic Dowry Return STR Hiro receives from his entire harem.
1. Raylene (Vaginarnis) = 9785 (100%)
2. Jade (Vaginarnis) = 6520 (100%)
3. Vanessa (Vaginarnis) = 7609 (100%).
4. Tsugumi (Human) = 1529 (55%).
5. Ryuuka (Dragonkin) = 1907 (55%).
The total extrinsic link return is 27350. If you add Hiro's 500 stat bonus from [Legacy of the Faithful] (Bounty bonus for each kill) this number becomes 27,850. The affection life cycle is why Hiro obtains so much more power than he normally gets on his own.
Because of the sudden boost in stats, Hiro's calibers and HP are already to a point he almost never runs out. This entire cycle is carried by Hiro, his harem, including the San Baka who boosts Tsugumi with their own stats.
Should any of Heavenly Sword's submissives increase in power, that change will be sent to Hiro who in turn will send the power to his people. The battle harem system leverages the links between the group and raises everyone together.
Naturally, as Dylan assumed in the last chapter, this kind of exponential increase is only possible because Hiro's girls are all either Enslaved (100% Lene, Nessa, Jei) or Affectionate (55% Tsugu, Ryuu).
Another thing is that Hiro completely used up his link by having three empress-rank (30%), a paramour rank (7%), and a devoted rank (3%).
If we apply common Dominator behavior, Hiro would leave at least 60% of his link unused meaning his wives would at most be Spouse ranks (10%).
When applied to the original number earlier. If Hiro had a baseline STR of 4102, instead of 1231 Raylene would only get 410.
Raylene, if a normal sub would also similarly offer a small dowry at most a Servants (25%).
Even with her base stats and her skills her dowry would only amount to the following 1933 instead of 2754 weakening her by as much as 821 STR points.
The extrinsic bonus she would send as a Link return would also get reduced to a mere 483. Just by reducing Raylene and Hiro's percentages Hiro's total numbers would be
HP 1,110,147/1,110,147| MP 460,120/460,120| SP 630,795/630,795 |AP 599,350/599,350
STR 11,987 +17,845 (1000)| AGI 11,469 +17,489 (1000)| INT 11,503 +18,470 (1000)
Almost 20,000 points got wiped out from all three stats. And if we reduce his Entire harems dowries to 25% while lowering Jade and Vanessa to Spouse ranks (10%)?
HP 686,507/686,507| MP 276,640/276,640| SP 376,805/376,805 |AP 378,750/378,750
STR 7,575 +5,311 (1000)| AGI 6,851 +4,276 (1000)| INT 6,916 +4,383 (1000)
Put simply, Hiro's power is because of the trust and affection of his harem. By offering everything to him, they literally granted him strength despite their small numbers. This is the power and danger of the battle harem system.
Should submissives die, the impact on a dominator would Hiro would cripple him. Because of such dangers the common dom never creates links they cannot afford to lose.
Due to the malice of the world instead of powering up each other through the Battle Harem affection life cycle, the general population even royalty becomes a shadow of themselves.
