A Journey That Changed The World.

Archer returned to the room where Teuila was curled under the sheets, and when she sensed him, her head popped up with a lazy smile. He thought her expression was adorable as she threw back the covers.

''Get in,'' she spoke in a tired voice. ''It's cold, and I want a cuddle.''

He smiled before stripping out of his clothes and joining her. Once comfortable, Teuila scooted close to him, causing Archer to wrap his arm around her before they got comfortable.

While lying there, Teuila suddenly said, ''I'm sorry for punching you as hard as I did. I got too excited when fighting.''

Archer chuckled before reassuring her that everything was fine and he had fun fighting all of them, which made the Aquarian Princess smile as she fell back to sleep with her head on his chest.

He looked at her girl with a loving smile before kissing her forehead, which caused her to make an adorable noise. Archer soon fell asleep as he was comfortable and enjoyed her company.

The following morning Archer woke up to Teuila lying all over him as his head was being held against her big boobs and acted as a pillow. 'So soft,' he thought while getting comfortable, causing the girl in question to wake up.

When spotting what he was doing, Teuila smiled, ''Enjoying my boobs, are we?'' she teased.

''Yes,'' Archer instantly answered, ''They are so soft, I want to sleep again.''

Teuila started laughing and went to push him off her, but she yelped in pain when he pinched her backside, which made her smack him while giggling. The two of them messed around by trying to attack each other by pinching and tickling the other before they got out of bed.

Archer observed her intently as she rose and stretched. She displayed her flawless figure, clad in baby blue lingerie, harmonizing with her eyes and ears. Muscular yet elegantly curvaceous, she exuded a captivating allure.

Every time she moved, her boobs and bum jiggled at every little movement, which sent Archer wild. It was too much for him as he dragged Teuila back to bed and ravaged her until she nearly fell asleep due to being tired.

He chuckled at her reaction before casting Aurora Healing on her and Cleanse on them as they got up for the second time, but the blue-haired kept an eye on him so he couldn't jump on her again.

Teuila looked at him with narrowed eyes. ''Don't ravage me like that again, Arch!'' she complained, but he saw a small smile. ''I can still feel you inside me, and your seed is leaking into my panties.

His smile grew wider before kissing her and getting out of bed. Archer's back popped when he stretched, causing Teuila to speak, ''The survival round starts today.''

''So I heard,'' he replied. ''Do you know anything about it?''

Teuila rose to her feet, nodding in affirmation as she retrieved a fresh towel from her storage ring. "I overheard some fellow students mentioning that we'll be in a dream-like scenario, battling monsters until we surrender or die, with our performance tracked to determine our leaderboard standings."

Archer got excited when hearing this, so he questioned, ''Is there a restriction on transforming into other forms?''

''You can use your dragon form, but it will spawn a monster just as big,'' Teuila answered before heading toward the bathroom, leaving him alone.

Once she was gone, Archer decided to scan the treehouse to see what the other girls were doing. She noticed most were in the bath chamber washing before getting ready for the day when the Knockout Stage would begin.

Archer started to prepare by getting ready but realized the girls would take an hour or two to finish. He decided to level up his Shadow Prince form even more and teleported to Elysium to do some hunting.

When Archer appeared in the jungle, he transformed into his shadow form and grew in size, his eyes and mouth allowing a violet glow to light up his surroundings. A rustle from next to him caught his attention as he did that.

His head snapped to the right, and he saw a group of goblins fleeing from him. This caused Archer to grin before sinking into the shadows and following after them to see where their home was.

Meanwhile, the creatures fled deeper into the jungle, rushing back to their home, which he wanted. His excitement intensified as he knew there would be even more of them to encounter and gain experience so he could finally level up.

Archer followed the goblins for an hour until they finally arrived back at their home. When he saw it, he was shocked. There was a mountain stretching high into the sky with what looked to be a goblin city running from top to bottom.

'What the fuck is this? Why do they have a damn city in Elysium? Maybe I should add some to the domain,' he pondered while staring at the goblin city.

A ramshackle wall circled the bottom of the mountain that Archer could easily bypass using the shadows, which he did. A dirty smell hit his nose when inside the city, causing him to recoil.

It smelled like death and rotten meat, which caught Archer's attention. He wanted to see what was giving off such a foul odor. Archer only had to search for ten minutes until he came across what he could only call a butcher station.

Upon witnessing the goblins cutting up demi-humans, Archer snapped. The revelation left him baffled. Without hesitation, he launched into action, hunting down tens of thousands of goblins except for one hundred, whom he spared.

The reason? Archer wanted them to repopulate as an experience farm in the future. Afterward, he dived back into the shadows and hunted thousands of other monsters for another day, which was an hour in the real world.

By the time Archer returned to the treehouse, he had leveled up once and was in a happy mood, so he checked his status before joining the girls.

'Status.'

[Experience: 3760000>4100000]

[Experience Gained: 340000]

[Level Up: 614>615]

[HP: 38000>38500]

[Mana: 752500>753000]

[Strength: 41800>42100]

[Intelligence: 36000>36300]

[Status Points: 0>2000]

[Draconic Synergy: 8>9]

'Finally,' Archer mused internally. 'If I continue to use Elysium and hunt in the real world, I will continue to level up.'

After studying his status, he decided to save the Status Points for a while before approaching the living room, where everyone was. When the girls spotted him, smiles appeared on their beautiful faces.

Everyone greeted him with a kiss and cuddle before Lucrezia approached, ''Can I join the girls and watch the tournament with you?'' She asked in a hopeful voice.

Archer nodded before opening a portal to Starfall City, where the empire had built an arena on the outside. The large group stepped through and was welcomed by a massive, colosseum- looking structure that amazed him.

While looking at it, Ella stepped next to him, ''This was built by powerful earth mages,'' she commented. ''I can feel their mana radiating off it.''

''So can I,'' he replied before everyone approached the entrance where hundreds of people were walking towards.

As they approached, a man ran over and introduced himself. '' I'm Stephan, '' he said. I've been asked to escort you to your seating.''

''Who asked you?'' Leira sked from behind as she took the free space next to Archer.

When the man spotted the cat girl, he knelt, ''The tournament president wanted to make sure you and the White Prince are comfortable.''

Archer nodded with a friendly smile. ''Thank you for your help,'' he thanked the man while continuing to talk. Lead the way,'' he said.

Upon hearing this, Stephan sprang into action, guiding the group into the arena. As they passed by, Lioran and Cian both flashed smiles at him. The duo was accompanied by their fiancées, Leonora, Nalika, and Cassie, who engaged in lively conversation with Archer's companions.

Joining the ensemble, the two young men merged seamlessly into the procession toward their designated seats. Aeris, Aurelia, Marve, and Eveline emerged along the way. Save for the orange-haired warrior, smiles adorned the faces of all.

Her sticking grey eyes bored into Archer's, causing a confused expression. He shook his head before asking, ''What's up?''

Maeve watched him with narrowed eyes. ''You took Eve out on a date but forgot about me and Aurelia,'' she said. ''It's a bit unfair, don't you think?''

Archer quickly noticed that she was genuinely upset over the whole situation. He sighed before replying, ''Wait until we are sat down? We can talk then.''

The warrior princess gave him a nod as she continued walking. Archer looked at Eve and Aurelia, who shrugged as the mermaid approached, ''I'm sure you were going to take us out, correct?''

He nodded, ''Yes, I was waiting to see you and Maeve before asking,'' Archer explained. ''It just so happens that I bumped into Eveline while wandering around the city.''

''I understand, Arch, and want you to know that I take no offense in you and Eve going on a date because I know you treat your girls equally, which means you'd do the same to the ones you're pursuing,'' Aurelia explained as Stephan showed them into a large booth.

There was a clear view of the battlefield down below, and there were dozens of large mana screens that he assumed would be used for the survival round. After that, all the girls, Leoran and Cian, found seats.

Archer looked around and noticed a few side rooms on one side of the booth, where there was a toilet, changing room, another spare one and a door that led down to the field. Seeing the restroom, he walked over to Maeve and grabbed her hand before dragging her inside and turning toward her.
