Raven's body felt a slight sense of exertion, but it wasn't enough as he grabbed his bottle of water and slowly drank it, something his mother had taught him.
No matter how thirsty you are after training, don't rush to drink it all in one go, but slowly drink the water over a small period.
He didn't know why and even less cared to research it when it was now a habit.
But then he remembered that two women had offered him to train at their private family gyms designed for adventurers.
One was Emily, but he didn't want to go to her for this.
Sleeping with her mother might have been normal, but Raven was still dealing with it and soon felt slightly aversion to meeting Nenethrana again.
The other was Zestria, who was an adventurer and part of the bureau's enforcement team, so it was likely that she would have a more in-depth and useful gym to use.
'Let's text Emily first and the other girls and tell them where I will go...'
'I don't want them to worry if Lilith gets home and starts crying about me being gone again, haha...'
It seemed that Lilith had solidified herself as the group's baby, and all the women would try to protect her if she was upset and would complain to him when she messaged about eating alone or he had gone out again.
'It's not like it matters me and Lilith will be going to the dungeon tomorrow, and I'll be meeting a centaur at night...'
Raven was waiting for the mansion paperwork and renovation to be finished then he could spend time will all his women each day.
Of course, it would still need to be arranged for more personal moments, but the fact they all would live together meant nobody would be neglected, which was his ideal.
'No matter how many of them there are, I must ensure they are all happy.'
Now that he was decided quickly, he spent 20 minutes messaging his cute women, leaving him various pictures and voice messages and opened up Zestria's chat.
'Hmmm... she sent me so many messages... damns he types fast...'
-> Messages from Zestria.
Hey~
How are you doing?
I am at work fufu~ look at my sweaty ass (Zestriass.jpg)
Do you miss me? I still feel you deep inside me.
Such a lewd orc...
Why are you not replying?
(Sadface Emoji)

Raven sighed and realised he didn't move her to his "Girlfriend" folder, so the conversation was muted and didn't show with a sound or vibration like the others.
So first he sent an apology, and she suddenly called him!
Brrr Brrrr!
Click!
"Ah~ hello? Are you finally replying to me now? I am so sad~~ I might cry."
"Afternoon—you sound very cute on the phone."
Raven couldn't lie or speak with the intent to guide people; thus, he just honestly spoke his heart.
"Eh? Really... fufu! I've been so busy today, and many bastards tried to do illegal shit..."
Like this, he began to listen to her complaining about work and people trying to kill others in the dungeons, which he was interested in, so he didn't stop her.
"And then the guy was like... "You're a succubus, right? How about I give you some essence, and you let me go..." So I lifted my leg and kneed him in the balls! Hahaha, the sound of his eggs cracking and his voice so high pitched was fucking great!"
"..."
He felt his body shudder from the image in his mind, although the next moment, he felt a bloodthirsty rage to kill that bastard who said such things to his woman.
"I want to hurt him..." Raven said with a stiff tone, but that only got Zestria to giggle and act coy.
"Are you jealous? Don't worry~ the only essence that's ever touching my body is yours... okay? Don't be mad... he's already going to be sent to a horrible place to suffer. My mother is a pretty cruel woman!"
During the phone call, he learned that Claudina was the former director of the bureau's enforcement section.
Once Zestria complained, she would chew the ear of her replacement, another demoness that worshipped Claudina.
'Poor guy...' Raven thought, hearing the punishment as his rage slowly vanished.
"So~ you want to come to our gym? It's 24/7, you know... so how about..."
"Ah, if you want to train together, then relax afterwards. I'm okay with that."
"Then we can..."
"Maybe a quickie; Lilith comes home tonight."
"Oh... a quickie... hehe~ my first time!"
Raven lowered his phone, seeing that she sent him the address, before kissing him.
"Darling~ look, hehe, I turned on video!"
A beautiful Zestria with a slightly tired look appeared with her beautiful face smiling at him before she suddenly pulled down her shirt to reveal her perky tits and hard nipples pointing to the ceiling.
"Here~ let's meet after work, okay? I will make you feel great with these!"
Knock knock!
"Captain! We have another case! Let's go!"
A sound came from the other side of the door, it seemed she was in her office, but the cute Zestria suddenly jumped and quickly hid her breasts with a bright red face.
"Haha, you're so cute for a succubus. Be safe, and I'll meet you at your gym later, okay?"
"Mm! I can't wait~."
Zestria began to hum and sing to herself while her subordinates began to whisper on the other side of the door about her being weird before the call cut as she started shouting at them in a shrill voice.
Click!
Putting away his phone, Raven stretched his naked body, suddenly realising why she was so excited when the video was connected...
Rather Raven's video was on from the start...
'That damn pervert succubus was looking at my cock the whole time!?'
Shaking his head, he took a quick shower, not wanting to use other people's public gym equipment while being sweaty as a common courtesy.
Despite being called private, that meant the clients were rich men and women or enforcement team members.
'Let's check my current status... It's been a long time since I've even bothered to check...'

For the past few levels, he tried to balance improving his skills and attributes to avoid having a tank-like body but paper mache skills.
Somehow he began to realise why his sexual appetite had reached a plateau, and it was due to levelling Manticore's Heart to Level 6. In addition to his increased sexual function and the additive part of his 12 gates of bliss, he was a sperm factory now.
'I actually tested it with Lilith's tail while watching a long movie marathon... and I could recover from a single load after 5 seconds... in the past, it was good at 3-4 minutes, but now it's completely different...'
Raven booked an Ober, began to push some of the spare money into his second account used for daily purchases, and planned to buy himself a car when the next Sunday came, maybe taking two of the girls with him for a nice relaxed date.
'I truly praise those harem lords in novels... How can they manage so many women and not feel the stress of time management.'
He shook his head, wearing a light training outfit and leaving his normal bodysuit in his inventory, opting for a smark pair of black joggers that were bought by Philis and seemed to be an expensive brand. In contrast, Emily bought the T-shirt and Miriam the jacket...
'Did they all speak and pitch in together? Such cute women...'
Beep! Beep!
The app bleeped, letting him know the Ober had arrived; what was amusing was that this driver was the guy who had driven him and most of his women to their dates, haha.
Thus he began to speak about random and annoying topics on the way to the huge gym due to Raven being alone...
'I wonder what car I should buy?'
He thought, watching the city passing him by slowly...
