RISE OF EROS

With all this new information, Andrew feels more pressure, as it seems like time is running out. Make no mistake, it's always been a race against time since he learned of the fallen god's existence.

The thing is, Andrew previously thought he had room to progress slowly and steadily, but now that doesn't seem to be the case. For some reason, things had escalated to the point where danger was imminent.

A clear example that ignorance is bliss in some cases. When Andrew received the system, then Fluffy, and began developing as a candidate for the god Eros, everything was peaceful. There were difficulties, but they were all normal, simple conflicts of interest with ambitious individuals and organizations, something anyone in this world or any other world would face.

Unfortunately, the more he learned, the more complicated things became. Little by little, he learned the secrets of this world and surrounded himself with the powerful on the continent, so he quickly realized that his role wasn't so simple.

As a god candidate, Andrew understood he was undergoing a test, but he never expected it to be so difficult. He believed he should just go around fucking and in a couple of decades he would ascend to godhood.

However, things didn't turn out that way. With the threat of the fallen god's resurrection, what seemed to be the fate of this world fell upon him, and although his progress was rapid, it still seemed slow.

He needed to release the seventh divine seal, and it seemed his wives alone wouldn't succeed. Andrew embarked on a mission to conquer women. Now he wasn't as naive as before, so he was more proactive.

Since arriving in Comers, he began dating different women. From the two he conquered at the party he had organized, to other powerful women in the city. His charm had reached a new level, and few women could resist him.

Unfortunately, he isn't infallible, and the one who could offer him the greatest benefit was one of the women who could resist his charm. Cassandra is one of the richest and most powerful women in the city and Andrew's target. He had visited her on several occasions for talks and even invited her to dinner a couple of times.

The relationship between them was cordial, but they couldn't even be considered friends at this point. The reason is that Cassandra has always suspected that Andrew wants something from her and won't make it easy for him.

It's true that Andrew wants something, but it's not what she thinks. Being in the business world, Cassandra always tends to think that others are trying to take advantage of her money and influence.

For this reason, she doesn't take Andrew's advances seriously. Add to this the fact that Andrew is actually very bad at picking up women, and that relationship hasn't progressed.

Andrew comes from a solitary life in his previous life. If he were a sociable person, he wouldn't have been addicted to porn. The fact that his physical appearance didn't help matters either, but that's another topic.

Although he is a handsome man with many advantages in this world, his ability to engage in conversation and socialize hasn't evolved much. It's true that he has many wives and concubines, but none of them were achieved thanks to his social skills.

It was always circumstances and his abilities as a candidate for god that gave him the drive. Adding to this, his natural charm as he grew stronger, everything became easier. However, for a woman like Cassandra, this wouldn't work.

Andrew had already realized this, but he still didn't give up on getting involved with her. It might not get him far, but her persistence could help him somewhat—at least that's what he thought.

In fact, Andrew could easily ask his wives for help, but his pride wouldn't allow it. It was true that his wives were the ones who had practically helped expand his harem, but it was always of their own free will; Andrew never asked them for it.

Andrew would never ask them for help in this. Maybe advice, but help, never. While all this was happening, things on the continent weren't as peaceful as Andrew's life. The appearance of the fallen angels caused unrest.

Everyone thought the attackers, the northern elves and beastmen, were the Purgatory organization, but those directly involved knew otherwise. Crhono also spread the news of the fallen angels as if it were a rumor. He wanted everyone to be prepared for the new enemies, because if they didn't, they could suffer losses.

The rumor spread, but it hadn't gained traction yet; that needed time. The elves and beastmen, for their part, were certain their enemies weren't the members of Purgatory. Crhono had made sure they knew this for sure, especially when they hadn't eliminated them.

The elves and beastmen won the battle, but they couldn't eliminate the fallen angels. With such a fearsome enemy in the darkness, they had to be cautious. Another frequent occurrence was the wild revelry of the continent's most powerful demigods at the Cannes Palace.

Thanks to the matrix Andrew purchased in the system, the demigods he trusted had been steadily improving their strength. While it wasn't always the case, every time Andrew activated the matrix, they would arrive like flies on a cake.

The continent was immersed in an atmosphere of strange tranquility and chaos that was difficult to explain. Certainly, there were wars, problems, and hidden enemies, but since they didn't affect everyone, there was somehow no scandal.

Andrew, unable to conquer Cassandra, decided to travel through the different Celestial Palaces. He didn't limit himself to having sex in Comers; that would have been stupid, so he traveled everywhere.

Conquering women of high beauty and character was difficult, as he faced the same problem as with Cassandra, but normal girls weren't difficult. Andrew had fun with some succubi and demons in the southern kingdom.

He also had fun with some girls in Cannes, Dunnas, and even Cannaris. Although he avoided going there because of all he had suffered, he now had a new status and couldn't be intimidated.

Even the emperor didn't dare bother him, so Andrew resumed his business in the empire and took the opportunity to have fun with some girls besides his local concubine. Several months had passed, and Andrew had grown accustomed to this new life. He lived to fuck, which seems like a dream, but in reality, after a while, it was a bit monotonous.

It wasn't that sex bothered him, but the girls he slept with were nothing special. He didn't feel the passion and desire he normally felt when he had sex; only his wives and concubines aroused him.

These women were the only ones who satisfied him, so no matter how much sex he had, only a handful of women gave him full enjoyment. This impacted the fact that breaking the divine seal didn't progress much.

It was obvious that the strategy of quantity over quality wasn't working, so Andrew swallowed his pride and asked his wives for advice. Embarrassed, after a night of pleasure, he asked them what he should do.

His wives now took turns each night in groups of three, and coincidentally, tonight they were Helena, Candice, and Victoria. These were the most experienced, not only in sex, but in life experiences.

Helena is a former courtesan, so when it comes to sex, no one beats her in the harem. Over time, she's developed a sixth sense for people's emotions and attention to detail, so she was perfect for this consultation.

Candice is a merchant who has experienced the ups and downs of society, so her experience couldn't be underestimated. While she's relatively inexperienced in love, she does understand the mind of a merchant, as she is one.

Simply put, Candice is the closest thing to Cassandra, so her opinion is valuable. Victoria, for her part, comes from a noble background, where relationships are more important than money.

This trio of women was the most suitable for advice within Andrew's harem, so everything seemed settled, and Andrew asked all his questions, trying to find a way to win Cassandra over.

Little did Andrew know that these three weren't the ones accompanying him tonight by accident or mere chance. Their wives are extremely intelligent and have noticed that Andrew was obsessed with the subject of Cassandra.

They also understood that Andrew wouldn't ask them for advice so easily, much less for help, as it would hurt his pride. Although that was stupid to them, they also understood that a man's pride shouldn't be mistreated.

This is why they agreed that the three of them would be with him that evening and somehow manage to bring up the topic with the intention of offering their advice. Just as they had planned, Andrew opened up to them and asked for advice.

It all seemed so normal that Andrew didn't notice, and perhaps that was for the best, as his fragile pride would be shattered if he found out. Fortunately, his wives didn't intend to rub it in his face. They weren't that mean, and it wasn't worth it; they only wanted to support him, and for that, this truth didn't need to be known.
