As the first ray of sunlight entered the room, Ryker opened his eyes to be greeted by the sight of three beautiful women sleeping, all of them using him as a bed. He slowly moved his arms, allowing it to escape its soft confine though a part of him wanted to let it stay there.
He shifted from the bed, putting Miriam down before being able to escape the three women's grasp. He was glad to be the one to receive their love but he needed to clean up and prepare himself for the day.
Typically, as he opened the door, Ina woke up, looking at him with an adorable pout, "Do you you have to wake up so early?" she asked, Era and Miriam waking up at the same time.
"One of us needs to wake up early so they can wake up the others. If you want to go to sleep first, I'll wake you up later," he replied, intending to go to the shower when Ina hugged him from behind, somehow already discarding her nightwear.
"Let's bath together," she suggested, her breasts rubbing his back. Ryker could feel her tips slowly hardening. He knew if he didn't hold his urges, the bath time would take longer than it should. Besides, he didn't want Miriam to feel left out.
"Only bathing," he sternly said before heading towards the bathroom, Ina already riding him piggyback style. The other two women looked at each other helplessly before removing their clothes and entering the bath soon after.

The group currently having breakfast at a nearby cafe, Ryker wants to eat somewhere else for a change.
"So, you think you can handle all of them? If not, I can ask Ina to stay for now," Ryker asked Miriam, who shook her head.
"If we can have all of our fighters gain more experience than we should rather than turning to the rotation system. I know you can't do that before because there are no better alternatives before but with me around, I can take care of them while all of you grow stronger," she explained.
Ryker just sighed but agreed to it. After all, she is correct, the stronger their other fighters get, the better for his heart as he won't need to worry about them.
"Alright, you will become the permanent babysitter then. Let-" the group soon talked about their future plans, where they wanted to go, and how long their stay going to last.
In the end, they decided to stay for another week, so Ryker could try a breakthrough to the Genesis Condensing realm, only needing more opportunity before he could attempt his next major real breakthrough.

The group soon had a proper schedule, to allow a more efficient week where they spent gathering resources and other such things.
In the morning, Ryker would wake up first before the others, and go take a bath alone, though he does enjoy the occasional bathing together with his lovers. After cleaning up, they would have breakfast, followed by Ryker, Ina, and Era leaving the group to head towards their room.
Ryker and the others would spend the time taking missions to get more money to save for rainy days. Thanks to their diligence, Ina had become a 9th Stage Genesis Gathering realm expert while Era was able to raise hers to the 6th Genesis Formation realm experts.
However, it was Ryker who showed the biggest improvement. He had entered the peak of the Genesis Formation realm, only needing some time and a place with rich-energy concentration for his breakthrough.

"So, you want to find a place with rich energy concentration for your breakthrough?" said the supervisor, who had a calm look, outwardly. Inside, he screams "Monsters," as they are no better way to describe the young man in front of him.
"There is one place suited for you. Near the Rock Valley, there is a short range of 5 mountain peaks. Several adventurers headed there before, with half of them able to find many herbs and spirit fruits. However, they reported that there were powerful beasts in the area and the energy concentration there is very high, so if you are daring enough, you can go there to attempt your breakthrough,"
Hearing the supervisor's suggestion, Ryker only gave it a quick thought before nodding. If he met the powerful beasts, as long as it's not at the Genesis 4th Stage Beast, he could hold them off.
Besides, if he encountered the more powerful beasts, he had several measures to keep his life. He rather not use it for Genesis Grade Beast but if push comes to shove, it's better to use it than lose his life because of arrogance.
He also had other reasons for asking the supervisor for a place. Namely, he planned to set a bait to trap a pesky pest that kept annoying him.

"So, you plan to go to the mountain ranges tomorrow," Ina exclaimed, Ryker nodding as they had their lunch.
"Well, you are already at the peak of the Genesis Formation realm so planning to break through is understandable. Just, be careful out there, from what you saying there are several powerful beasts in the area so you need to exercise more caution," Miriam advised.
"Of course, after all, I have several reasons to return alive so I don't plan to lose my life there," he exclaimed.
"I need to make some preparations first before heading there. I also plan to ask the supervisor if he has any more information plus I can exchange some points for healing pills and other helpful items," he said, before leaving the group for the Adventurer Guild.
The three eldest women looked at each other before both Ina and Era looked at Miriam, who blushed but gave a resolute nod.

Ryker returned to his inn room, a large number of papers inside his storage ring, all of them with Intel regarding the mountain range. The supervisor had gone out to find the adventurer who had visited the said ranges, specifically the highest peak.
All survived adventurers had claimed they sensed a powerful presence, some of them booking it when they sensed it, while the others skirted around, finding several herbs before high tailing out of there.
All in all, none of the adventurers ventured to the center area of that peak, though they did go to the other peaks and find more valuable resources, there were powerful beasts forcing them to escape but none gave out a similar terror aura as the one beast in that one peak.
As he skimmed through the papers, he entered his room before looking at his bed, his jaw nearly dropped at the sight before him.
On the bed, three naked beauties looked at him, their faces red but still giving him an inviting look.
