Hero Hack: Reversing Heroes and Raising Harem-Chapter 177: Master Needs a Nap and a Recharge (18+)

More girls stepped forward, standing in perfect formation.

Their eyes were steady, but some looked nervous.

They had just seen what happened to the first three.

The screaming, the collapse, the transformation.

But they still came forward.

Zain was about to move.

His hand lifted slightly as he prepared to activate [Heavenly Demon Slaves] again.

But his vision blurred.

His knees buckled.

And suddenly—he dropped.

The room tensed.

Velra’s expression shifted instantly.

She stepped forward in a flash and caught him by the shoulder before he hit the ground completely.

"Master!" she hissed. "What’s wrong?"

Zain groaned and tried to push himself up, but his arms were shaking.

He gritted his teeth.

"Damn it... My energy’s gone."

His head dropped for a second.

"I used too much converting them. Marking all three... was my limit."

He forced himself to one knee. His breath was sharp, uneven.

"It drains more than I thought."

"Tying their souls, sharing Ether, building their bodies..."

"It’s not just one skill. It’s like ten running at once."

Velra turned her head toward the other girls.

"Back. Everyone step back. Now."

They obeyed immediately.

Velra looked back at Zain.

"You should’ve told me. I would’ve paced them."

Zain waved her off. "No. I needed to see the limit myself."

Two of the slave girls stepped forward and helped Velra lift Zain.

Together, they supported him and guided him to the black throne.

Zain sat down heavily, leaning into the chair as his breathing slowly evened out.

He closed his eyes.

"Alright... start qi breathing."

He tapped into the core of his power, calling the energy around him and letting it flow into his body.

It worked.

His body began to respond.

Thanks to the passive trait [Heavenly Demon Ether], everything was converted into usable energy.

Slowly, his strength started to return.

"Still functional," he muttered. "Not dead yet."

Velra stood at his side, arms crossed. "You overreached."

Zain nodded. "Yeah. Noted."

He took another deep breath. Color was returning to his face.

He opened his eyes and looked forward.

The three girls he had marked.

Zain pointed at them.

"You three. Step closer."

The girls obeyed immediately.

Zain leaned forward slightly, his tone flat.

"I don’t like being complicated. So I’m not giving you long names, ranks, or titles."

He raised one hand and pointed to the first girl.

"You. You’re [Red Demon]."

She blinked. "Yes, Master."

He pointed to the second. "You’re [Blue Demon]."

She bowed her head. "Understood."

Then the third. "And you. [Yellow Demon]."

The last girl raised her fist. "I’ll serve as [Yellow Demon]."

Zain nodded. "Good."

"You’re now the heads of the first three divisions of my sect."

He sat back, eyes sharp again.

"Go. Bring me more corpses."

The girls nodded.

Zain added, "And while you’re out there—train."

"Learn how to use your new abilities."

"Your Ether won’t stabilize unless you push it."

"I don’t care if you fight beasts or rob villains. Just get stronger."

The three girls all gave quick bows.

"As you command."

Then they turned and left, jogging toward the exit of the training hall.

Zain watched them disappear into the corridor.

He didn’t speak for a moment.

Then he turned his head slightly to the side.

"Velra."

She was already standing there, silent as ever.

"Help me to my room."

She raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to collapse halfway again?"

Zain glanced at her. "No. But I’d rather not fall into a wall."

Velra walked over, crouched slightly, and helped him up.

Zain rested his arm on her shoulder, letting her guide him out of the hall.

They walked through the dark corridor, the echo of their steps the only sound.

"You pushed too hard, Master," Velra said after a while. "You always do."

"I don’t have time to play it safe," Zain muttered.

"Next time, I’ll mark ten girls in one go. Maybe twenty."

Velra smirked. "You say that now."

"Want me to prepare a stretcher next time?"

Zain exhaled slowly. "Just shut up and walk."

She chuckled and obeyed.

After a few minutes, they arrived.

Velra opened the door to Zain’s private quarters and helped him into the room.

She guided him toward the large bed in the center, then lowered him down gently.

Zain leaned back against the pillows, eyes closed for a second.

Velra stood there, watching him.

Then she gave a teasing smile.

"Master... Do you want to be serviced?" Velra’s voice was soft, playful.

She crawled closer. "You don’t need to move. I’ll handle everything."

Zain opened one eye and smirked.

His body ached, but his mind was already calculating.

Energy flow. Mutual recovery. Dual cultivation.

His [Heavenly Demon Ether] and [Heavenly Demon Body] would accelerate the process.

"Sure," he said, voice calm, controlled. "Make it worth it."

Velra leaned down, her face inches from his. Her breath warmed his skin.

"Always," she whispered.

She took her time.

Velra sank to her knees and took his cock into her mouth without hesitation.

Her hands ran up his thighs until her fingers wrapped around the thick shaft.

She opened wide and swallowed him halfway in one motion.

Zain exhaled sharply through his nose, eyes half-lidded.

She bobbed her head, taking him deeper each time, tongue swirling, spit dripping.

His muscles tensed.

His cock twitched inside her throat, his grip tightening on the sheets.

When she pulled back, a string of breath escaped her lips.

She crawled on top of him, guiding his soaked shaft to her entrance.

Her hands pressed against his chest.

She positioned his cock at her slit, rubbing it against her folds.

Zain looked up, smirking.

She slid down inch by inch, moaning as he stretched her wide.

The bed jolted as she began to ride, hips slapping against him.

She didn’t stop.

Time passed.

Eventually, Velra sat at the edge of the bed, her hair tangled, her breathing steady.

She looked over her shoulder, still smiling.

"Good night, Master."

Zain didn’t say anything for a moment.

Then he smirked.

His aura pulsed faintly.

His energy had returned, stronger and denser than before.

"You did well. I’ll have to overwork you again soon."

Velra chuckled and stood up. "Looking forward to it."

As she slipped out of the room, Zain closed his eyes and exhaled slowly.

He was already planning the next upgrade.
