My Taboo Harem System

The door clicked shut behind the departing messenger

Almost instantly, Denzel’s expression darkened with irritation.

’Interrupted. Again!’

A slow breath escaped through his nose as his jaw tightened.

His fingers flexed at his sides.

’The next time I see Aisha, she’s going to pay for this.’

He tilted his head back slightly, exhaling deeply.

Then his irritation faded into thought.

’No, not yet.’

A calculating look settled over his face

’I need to starve her first, that’s the only way. The longer I keep my distance, the harder she’ll crave it.’

A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

’By the time I finally touch her again, she won’t be thinking straight. She’ll want to fuck me every hour of the day. Hell she’ll be begging to marry my cock soon’

A dark satisfaction flickered in his eyes. Then another thought crossed his mind as a slower smile spread across his face, colder this time.

The image lingered just long enough to amuse him before he exhaled sharply

’But that can wait, back to work’

Turning, he stepped back into the kitchen, only to stop dead in his tracks

Maria was gone

The room remained in disarray, evidence of everything that had just happened still scattered around him.

But she was nowhere in sight.

A low grunt escaped him.

’She left?’

Annoyance flickered across his face.

’Does she really need to be told to stay before she understands?’

His eyes narrowed.

’These women still don’t know how to show proper respect. Perhaps she needs more discipline than spraying her with my hot cum.’

Stepping forward, he called sharply into the house.

"Mum."

Silence. Then he screamed her name louder

"MOM!"

A few moments later, she emerged from the corridor, changed into fresh clothes.

The white shirt was neatly buttoned over her body once more, restoring some measure of composure to her appearance. And worst of all, his cum stains had been wiped off.

In her hands was the package she had originally come for, now carefully wrapped inside a sack.

As she approached, guilt softened her features whilst her eyes stayed lowered.

"I’m sorry, dear son."

Her voice was quiet.

"I got carried away."

She hesitated before continuing

"You know I need to get back to work."

Denzel frowned

"You’re leaving just like that?"

The question made her lower her head completely, she truly felt as though she had wronged him.

And despite everything, some part of her still longed for him.

But now, with even the slightest distance from what had happened, clarity had begun creeping back into her mind.

Denzel noticed it immediately.

He knew he could pull her back in if he wanted, he had more than enough ways to do it. But he chose not to

Instead, he simply muttered coldly

"Fine. Go."

Maria paused

For a moment, she simply stood there.

Then slowly, she stepped toward him.

Without warning, she rose onto her toes and pressed her lips to his.

The kiss was deep, lingering. Heavy with everything she could not bring herself to say aloud.

Her eyes remained tightly shut as she kissed him, surrendering herself to the moment.

When she finally pulled away, her gaze remained lowered.

Softly, almost as if afraid of the words themselves, she whispered...

"I’ll be back early tonight. I’ll make it up then"

Denzel gave only the faintest shrug.

"Maybe."

Maria hesitated then she turned toward the door.

Just before stepping out, she paused.

Her voice was barely audible.

"I....love you."

And then she was gone, the door shut softly behind her.

Denzel remained exactly where he was, staring coldly at the closed door.

His face was unreadable.

Then a dark thought surfaced.

’Maria’

His lips curled into the faintest smile.

’You still don’t understand. What I have planned for you has nothing to do with love.’

Right then, suddenly

[Ding.]

The soft chime of the notification system echoed through the room.

A glowing screen immediately appeared before him.

[Congratulations.]

[You have successfully completed a taboo action.]

[Player has received +10 Taboo Points.]

Denzel stared at the screen for a moment before grunting

’Hm. That was pathetic.’

His expression twisted with mild disappointment.

’I was expecting the thirty-point boost I got last time.’

He stared at the floating notification for another second before exhaling sharply.

’Oh well. Let’s just get this over with.’

His eyes scanned over the system interface as he thought carefully. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

’Which stat should I push this time?’

He folded his arms, deep in thought.

’I’ve already upgraded most of my stats. At this point, it’s better to focus on building one stat properly rather than spreading the points too thin.’

A thoughtful look crossed his face.

’From all the web novels I’ve read, feeding a particular stat consistently gives better long-term growth. If I keep balancing everything equally, I’ll just slow down my overall progress.’

He nodded to himself.

’Vitality. That’s the best choice.’

Then he spoke aloud.

"System, add all ten points to Vitality."

Instantly, the screen shifted.

[Name: Denzel Ridrat]

[Age: 22 Years]

[Strength: 50]

[Agility: 20]

[Sense: 40]

[Vitality: 30]

[Stamina: 30]

[Mana: 10/15]

[Rank: E]

[Harem: 2]

[Taboo Points: 0]

[Titles Acquired: The Motherfucker]

The stat menu hovered before him.

Denzel carefully scanned through it, his eyes moving over each number.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

’Not bad. My stats are finally starting to look respectable.’

He stared at the screen with growing satisfaction.

’I’ve made real progress.’

For a moment, he simply admired it and then his eyes suddenly caught something.

’Hm?’

His gaze narrowed as it locked onto one particular line.

[Harem: 2]

His expression shifted into confusion.

’’Wait...That increased?’

His brows furrowed.

’I only expected it to go up by one due to mom’

He stared harder at the glowing number.

Then realization slowly began creeping into his thoughts.

’Two?’

His eyes widened slightly.

’Since when did it become two?’

"This doesn’t make any sense. I’m certain I’ve only been with one woman since I came to this world and that was Maria."

"So where is this second harem member coming from?"

His brow furrowed deeply as the thought lingered in his mind.

’What’s going on?’

Without hesitation, he focused back on the system.

"System, what is the harem option? What does it represent?"

A prompt instantly appeared in his vision.

[Harem Option Information]

[These are members who have been added to the player’s harem. They are individuals who have developed feelings for the player and are willing to go to great lengths to please him.]

Denzel read the explanation in silence.

For a moment, he didn’t respond.

Then his expression tightened slightly with confusion.

’This still doesn’t add up, Maria is definitely one. But who is the second one?’

His eyes narrowed sharply as a faint chuckle escaped his lips.

"This is actually quite interesting."

A smirk slowly formed.

’That means I have a secret admirer.’

He exhaled lightly through his nose, amused.

’Not bad... not bad at all.’

His eyes glinted with renewed curiosity.

’So there’s someone else out there already attached to me.’

’I didn’t even notice.’

The smirk deepened.

’I should find out who she is.’

His posture straightened as intent settled in.

’This just got more interesting. Time to investigate. Let’s see who my second harem member really is!’
