[Bond of the Abyssal Flame Patriarch (S+), has upgraded to, Bond of the Abyssal Flame Patriarch Patriarch (SS-)]
Bond of the Abyssal Flame Patriarch (SS-): Those who recieve your seed are empowered by the Abyss, granting them: Greatly increased Class growth, greatly increased stats, greatly increased skill power, Ageless Body, and Telepathic communication.
You are able to track your bonds wherever they might be, can better understand their feelings and emotions from a distance, and can communicate with them from any distance. Your bonds have the ability to communicate with one another. Effectiveness of your seed is greatly increased. Your bonds will form and upgrade much faster.
(New Effects)
-Telepathic communication is now a standard effect of the bond. Your bonds may also communicate with one another.
-With a flex of your will, you can negate the fertility of your seed.

Note 2: Your seed will still bond, and/or empower those you give it to, even if rendered infertile.
[Bond Mates]
-Cecilia Cross
-Clarissa Osark
"Jesus fuck." I said, my eyes actually wide at what I was reading.
Not only did I upgrade my Bond skill to the next rank, but it's effects had become ridiculous. I could now communicate with my women regardless of their Bond rank, and the effects of the increases to them were insane. Hell, I could even now blast inside of them without worrying about having kids, and they could stop taking those pills. There was just much to unpack here I thought my brain would explode.
I had a few more notifications to check put as well. I quickly went to the screen regarding Clarissa, and once again, my jaw almost hit the floor.
[You have given Clarissa Osark your seed, and have bonded her to you. She has become your bond mate, and will grow as your skill does, as well as the level of her bond.]

"God damn..." I muttered, and while I was not at all unhappy with any of this, I was definitely surprised.
My skill had made her grow even more than Cici had the first time as a result of my Bond skill's rank increasing. When I focused on the skill more intently, I could feel the changes more fully, as they were a part of me. Instinctual knowledge was crazy, as it just made you know about shit, and how to do said shit, even if it was something brand new.
It wasn't just for Clarissa though, as I actually had another notification screen, this one for Cici, and when I opened it, I almost couldn't believe it.
[Due to the increased Rank of your skill, Bond of the Abyssal Flame Patriarch, your bond mate Cecilia Crosse has seen further growth]
[New Gains]
- Rank increased from 'A+' to 'S'
- Further increase to her stats
- 60% increase to class growth
- Further upgrades to Class Skills
- Telepathic Communication with her bond sister, Clarissa Osark
"That's... fucking nuts." I muttered as I looked over the screen again.
As the Framework said, her power had grown even more. I could feel how excited she was over it, and the whole thing actually had me smiling by the end. My women becoming stronger was a great thing, it was just surprising how much had changed at one time. And it would get better as I increased both their bond levels, as well as the rank of my skill.
I could feel Cici getting closer to Clarissa's room, and I stood. I wanted to see Clarissa's Framework information, mainly because it would be more detailed about her stats and skills than mine were, if Cici's Framework screens were anything to go by. However, with Cici almost here as well, it would be easier to just check both of theirs at the same time.
Clarissa stood as well, as she no doubt felt Cici's imminent arrival, and went to the closet and grabbed a small blue nightgown to throw on. I didn't even bother getting dressed as I walked out of the bedroom, and headed into the living room. Not like I cared that my wife sees me naked. I was a little concerned with how absolutely aroused she was on top of everything else, and I turned back to look at Clarissa as she followed me out of the bedroom.
"I'm just letting you know, Cici might jump me. She's really horny, and still in heat." I said, and she blushed, but nodded.
"With what I can feel, that's... not an unreasonable assumption." She said, making me chuckle.
"I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable. I can try to calm her down. Plus, I'm sure she'd somehow control herself if you felt strange about it." I said, and she actually gave me a small smile, and shook her head.
"It's fine. It's not like I didn't know what I was getting myself into. It should be... interesting." She said, and I smirked at the heat on her face, before it shifted to one of wonder, and she added, "Speaking of that though... Eli, this power is unreal. I can't wait to show you both."
I nodded at her.
"I got some stuff to show you girls, too. I know a lot of what you both got, but it doesn't give me specifics on your stats or skills. My bond skill itself upgraded once we finished. Well, once I finished." I said, and she looked at me with a blush, but she smiled softly.
"The fact that you can make us stronger that easily is kinda... broken." She said, and I laughed, agreeing with her.
It was only a few seconds later before a loud banging came from the front door, and Clarissa rushed ahead of me.
"I'll get it, just in case there's anyone else." She said, and I nodded, as that made sense.
Clarissa unlatched and opened the door, and Cici quickly dashed inside, and wrapped Clarissa with a hug while using her tail to slam the door behind her in one of the most impressive entrances I'd ever seen in my life. My kitten squeezed Clarissa tightly, making the slightly smaller woman squeak, before she returned the hug and began to laugh softly. Cici, much like Clarissa, only wore a small nightgown, this one white in color.
"Cici, you're gonna break me." Clarissa said, and I saw Cici's hold lessen a bit.
"I'm so happy! We're sisters now, Rissa! Bond sisters, together, with our wonderful mate! I love you, Rissa!" Cici said as she rubbed her cheek against Clarissa's, which was criminally cute.
Clarissa's eyes glistened as she smiled.
"I'm happy too. Thank you for letting me join you both. I love you too, Cici." Clarissa said as she returned the cheek rubs.
My eyes suddenly bugged out as Cici turned her head, and full on kissed Clarissa on the lips. Clarissa's eyes widened, my brain shortcircuted, and my cock began to harden at the sight. I could feel that while Clarissa was shocked, she actually didn't dislike the sudden kiss. After a moment, her eyes fluttered a bit, before Cici released her lips, and gave her a loving smile.
"I know Eli already gave you my messag earlier, but I'm here, so I figured I'd do it myself. Welcome to the family, Rissa." Cici said with a purr, and I saw Clarissa gulp, and also saw a small bead of wetness drip from under her gown, and fall to the floor, before the same exact thing was mirrored by Cici.
I just stared, my cock standing at full attention, as I wondered how or why I was chosen to be this damn lucky. Clarissa just stared at Cici as she tried to form words.
"I... that was... kinda nice." Clarissa said, seeming surprised at her own admission, her face turning red, making Cici giggle.
"I love how cute you are!" Cici said, kissing her again, but on the cheek this time, before she turned to me with heat in her eyes.
"You two got me so worked up. That was almost torture. My fingers just aren't the same, and I'm having a really... hard... time containing myself." She said as her eyes went to my erection.
Before I could respond, Cici darted towards me, and while I could easily keep up with her, I was still surprised to see how much faster she was. She jumped at me, and I opened my arms to catch her as her arms and legs wrapped around me, and she began grinding herself against me the second she was secure, and confirmed that she was in fact not wearing underwear.
"I'm surprised I didn't wake up Valerie with my noises." She said in a breathy tone, before she whispered into my ear, "Although I wouldn't have been too upset if she had heard me." She finished, her breath hot as she glided her slit across my hard cock.
"You... are being naughty, kitten" I said with a grunt, and she giggled as she panted.
"I'm still in heat, darling, and all of what you felt, I felt, and it drove me crazy. I need you. Right now." She said, her tone demanding, and it made me chuckle.
I glanced over at Clarissa, who just stared with wide eyes and flushed cheeks. However, the interest, and more so, the arousal she was feeling from watching our interaction told me that not only did she not mind this, and that she actually did kind of like it. I gave her a smirk.
"Give me a moment, cutie." I said, which caused her to blush, but she gave me a slight nod back.
I was still in the living room, so I went over and sat down on one of the couches. Cici's knees rested beside my thighs as she strattled me, and she began rubbing her wet pussy all across my length back and forth, making me groan. She reached between us, grabbed my cock, and angled it towards her pussy. She sat down, taking all of me at once, making me exhale a sharp breath. While I wasn't necessarily expecting to have both of my women in less than an hour already, I was not going to complain.
"Did you... have fun?" Cici asked me, moaning as she began to rock her hips back and forth, her hands resting on my shoulders.
"Oh yeah. It... fuuuck..." I said, my sentence interrupted as she lifted her hips and slammed herself down, "was... incredible." I managed to finish.
She grinned at me as she panted, before she leaned forward into me, resting her head on my shoulder, her ass lifting into the air as she began to bounce up and down on my cock, her tail swishing back and forth rapidly. As this happened, Clarissa had made her way over to the couch across from us, and sat down, her face red with a mixture of both her shy personality, but also her arousal. I saw her eyes lock onto mine and Cici's union, as she no doubt had a good view of it from where she was.
Cici slowed down, before she turned her head around, and looked at Clarissa with a grin as she shook her ass back and forth, which made me groan in turn.
"You like this, don't you?" She asked, which made Clarissa flush crimson.
"I... well... don't dislike it..." She said nervously, making Cici giggle as she turned back around and looked at me.
"Well, you hear that? Maybe she'll appreciate a show." She purred, and then arched her back before beginning to truly ride me like a horse.
My hands went to her ass, gripping it tightly as she bounced on me. Up and down she went, then switched up intermittently by slamming down, and gyrating her hips back and forth quickly. My cock was tingling, and I could feel her pussy quivering around me.
"Fuck! Fuck! HMPH! FUCK!" She yelled, then screamed in pleasure when I began matching her bouncing with thrusts of my own.
I looked over once again to see Clarissa, her thighs rubbing together, as she watched us with growing heat. She was breathing a bit heavier at this point, but it was very clear to me that she did in fact like this more than she let on. Her gaze was fixed on the sight of my cock penetrating Cici's pussy. She was also about to witness the finale, as I could feel I was about to burst. Cici's pussy also began convulsing around me with her own orgasm.
"OH DARLING!!" Cici screamed as her pussy squrited like a broken fire hydrant, bathing my cock and balls in warm cat girl juices, her walls squeezing me for dear life.
I in turn grunted like a beast, thrusting up into her at slow erratic intervals as I erupted, shooting hot jets of cum into her tight pussy, and Cici's arms tightened around me as she moaned from the feeling of my throbbing cock.
Cici rubbed her nose against my neck, purring as the last vestiges of my seed shot into her, and I breathed out a heavy gust of air as she just laid on top of me. Clarissa's eyes were unblinking as she stared, no doubt at our combined fluids as they dripped out of Cici, down my length, and onto to the floor with audible little splats.
I brought my hand up, and began rubbing Cici's head, gently running my thumb across one of her fluffy ears, making it twitch.
"You feeling better now, kitten? Can you think clearly?" I asked as I continued my soft ministrations, and she groaned happily, before bringing her head back, and giving me a tender kiss.
"I am. Although I won't lie... Clarissa being here watching... I really liked that a lot." She said, making Clarissa turn red, as Cici did not lower her voice while speaking.
"You really are a naughty kitten, you know that?" I teased, giving her ass a squeeze, making her giggle, then I looked at Clarissa and said, "Sorry about that. Although, given how you look right now, maybe those are the wrong words?"
Clarissa bit her bottom lip as she looked at me.
"That... I can't explain it, but it... actually... excited me." She admitted, which made Cici giggle again, and it once again made me grateful of the life I was currently living.
Cici then turned around to lock eyes with Clarissa.
"Well then, I hope you'll let me watch you two next." She said, making my blue eyed beauty blush again.
Slowly, Cici began to release my cock from her silken depths, her eyes never leaving Clarissa's.
"Oohh..." Cici moaned as she came free, and Clarissa's eyes darted down to between our legs, her eyes locked on to where my seed was no doubt streaming out of Cici's slit, evidenced by the warm sticky trails I felt dripping onto and trailing down my shaft.
"Cici, you're going to make her explode." I said, and Cici giggled as she gave me a mischievous look.
"That sounds like fun." She said, and I snorted.
Cici then slid off of me and cuddled herself into my left side. I put my arm around her, and then looked over at Clarissa, and gestured to the spot on my right.
"Come on, love. Join us." I said.
She only turned a little pink as she nodded, stood up, and made her way over to us. She sat down on my right side, scooting close to me, and I smiled as I put my arm around her, and pulled her close. She melted against me, although she actually looked a little concerned as she stared at my penis, and subsequently, all the cum.
"We really should clean all that up." She said, and Cici laughed.
I sucked in a sharp breath, and Clarissa's eyes widened as Cici leaned down and inhaled my cock, sucking and swallowing all of our fluids off of me. She came off of me with a wet plop a moment later, and used a finger to scoop up my semen that remained on my balls.
"There. All clean." Cici said, bringing my cum to her mouth, and sucking her finger clean as well.
"That's... not what I..." Clarissa said, flustered, before she buried her face into my arm.
While I could tell Clarissa wasn't upset or uncomfortable, she was definitely getting worked up over Cici's antics.
"Cici, please behave now." I said, and Cici pouted at me, before she sighed, looking a tad guilty. She reached over and ran a hair over Clarissa's hair.
"I'm sorry, Rissa. I'll stop teasing you. I'm not like this normally..." She said apologetically, which made Clarissa over at her with a small smile.
"It's okay. I'll get used to it. It's not like I mind that much, it's just... new to me. Also, I know you're having a hard time controlling yourself right now." Clarissa said, her face softening as she stared into Cici's eyes. I knew the feeling. Those eyes could hypnotize anyone, I'm sure.
Cici then smiled as she looked at Clarissa's neck, and gently ran a thumb over the necklace I had gotten her.
"This is so pretty. It matches your eyes perfectly." Cici said, and that made Clarissa smile brightly at her.
"Eli gave it to me. I love it." She replied, putting a grin on my face.
"Hopefully he'll get you one of these next." Cici said, holding up her hand that had her green emerald ring on it, making Clarissa blush.
"That seems... early." Clarissa said, although I could feel that she wasn't opposed to the idea, and quite honestly, neither was I, but that could come later when we had time.
"Don't worry about that for now. We can worry about stuff like that when we have less going on." I said to comfort her.
She blushed but smiled, mainly because in my mind, I was already seeing her as a wife. We were bonded now, I loved her, and just like my Cici, I don't think I could live without her now. She could feel that, as I could feel how she didn't want to leave my side ever again. This bond, it didn't make us love each other, but rather, it strengthened the feelings we had already built. I couldn't wait to see what life had in store for us.
"You're welcome to have a go again." Cici told Clarissa, grabbing a handful of my cock, breaking my train of thought.
Clarissa blushed, and choked on her own spit.
"Cici! I... don't think I'm ready for that just yet. He... wore me out... and well..." Clarissa said, her face red.
I gently put my hand on Cici's, and removed it from my penis.
"Cici, dear, give her some time. And please, calm down. We do have other things to go over, after all." I said, and Cici pouted for a moment, but then nodded, and just intertwined her fingers with mine.
"You're right. I'm sorry, darling. I don't know why my cycle has been so weird. I mean, I'm horny when I'm in heat, obviously, but this time has been extra bad... or good, depending on how you look at it." She said, that last part making me chuckle.
I turned to Clarissa, and held my other hand out to her, and she smiled, intertwining her fingers with my other hand. This was a feeling I could very easily get used to.
"Okay, my loves, we all got some upgrades. I figure its time for some show and tell." I said, making the first move by opening my notification about my improved Bond skill, and willing it to be seen by them.
They both studied the screen in front of them. Clarissa's eyes widened, as did Cici's, but my kitten actually smiled wide towards the end.
"This is incredible! This explains so much, and look here at the bottom." She said, and looked over at Clarissa with a smile, "We don't have to take these pills anymore. This is great for us, and the others looking to join us. They do make my stomach feel weird sometimes."
"Of course that's what you got out of that." Clarissa said with a sigh, but she smiled regardless, "They do have a weird tingling feeling to them... Still, this is ridiculous, Eli. I literally did nothing... and I'm B Rank in my class. I'm still not sure what to say."
I leaned over and kissed her forehead, and she turned pink, but gave me the cutest damn smile I'd ever seen.
"You don't have to say or do anything. Neither of you do. Just let me love you both and take care of you. That's all I really want." I said, and both girls actually teared up a bit, and took turns giving me soft kisses.
"Love you." They both said, making me smile as they snuggled into me.
"I'll send you both my Framework screens. Rissa, you can do the same for us." Cici said, and Clarissa nodded as they both concentrated.
In mere moments, two different status sheets appeared in my vision, and without preamble, I began to read them, skipping to the meat of what I wanted to see. I started with Cici.

"Well... fuck me running." I muttered, although this was far more absurd and ridiculous than I could articulate properly.
"Darling... that sounds difficult..." Cici said, her eyebrows raised.
"No, no. Not literally." I said, scratching my head, before just laughing, "It's an Earth saying. It's means like... well, that I'm surprised. Really fucking surprised. This is nuts." I said, and she giggled musically.
"You're telling me. I don't normally feel the increases, but I felt this one. Getting my Class to S rank sent shivers and spasms through me, and that was after I had orgasmed." She said, and I let out a small snort at that, before considering what she said.
S Rank was not the peak of power, but it seemed like it was stepping into a whole new realm of power all on its own. Something else I could probably ask Martin about when he has time. I've been SSS+ Rank since coming here, so I would freely admit that my view was skewed. When I did get my powers though, I do remember it distinctly hurting like a motherfucker. Either way, I could save those questions for later.
"Time for you now, lovely." I said to Clarissa, which only made her turn slightly pink this time.

I barked a laugh, choking on nothing as I read the last part. I didn't know what was with the Framework, but it definitely knew how to make me laugh. I had called her that a few times, but she was literally just so damn cute. It made sense, and apparently, it did to the Framework as well.

-Cecilia Romina
Surprising me was actually a hard feat, believe it or not, but here I was, gaping like a fish. Clarissa was absolutely ridiculous, and I was pretty positive she could crush anyone in B Rank with ease, perhaps even B+. I wasn't going to risk her like that, but if it came down to it, I had faith that she'd be fine. It was still fucking mind boggling that the key to me giving them strength was creampies.
It was a boon I was obviously more than happy with for multiple different reasons. That being said, I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd ever be in a fantasy world with RPG mechanics, magic, and overpowered as hell abilities. Yet, even in those wild dreams, I never once considered I'd be looking at a System screen telling me about the power of my dick, or being surrounded by my slowly budding harem, seeing how strong they had both become simply because I didn't pull out.
"Rissa! You're amazing! Look at all of this! You have Eli's power too!" Cici said, her eyes shining bright as Clarissa blushed and smiled at the praise.
"It's almost like it's not real... but how do I..." Clarissa asked as she raised her hand, and called upon her magic.
A mist of swirling black ice circled in her palm, before it formed into the shape of a small block. The ice was pitch black, as black as my fire, but with a distinct shine to it, and it was so cold it frosted the air, and actually sucked the heat in the room into it. Vapors were released from it as it sat there, and Clarissa just stared at it with wide eyes.
I reached my hand out and gently touched it, and even through my resistances, I could feel how unnaturally cold it was. It didn't hurt Clarissa or myself, and even when Cici touched it, the only reaction she was was a slight shiver running up her arm.
"Be careful, kitten. This is really cold." I said, and Cici nodded, removing her fingers.
"This is... incredible." Clarissa said,her words barely above a whisper, "This power is both... familiar, and yet not at the same time. I know how to use it because of the Framework, but I don't truly understand it. It's similar enough to my regular ice magic, but feels capable of... so, so much more."
I nodded at her as I kept examining her ice. That was kinda where I was as well. I knew how to do stuff because of the Framework, as well as the knowledge stuffed into my head, but that didn't mean I knew everything. I still had things I was still learning, my Abyssal Manipulation being one of the main ones.
There was also my True Patriarch form, but that hadn't happened since my run in with the Baron. I felt like I could use it again, but there really wasn't a need for it, nor did I like how it made me feel. The fact that it had activated by itself without me trying to use it at the time also had me a little on guard. Something was... off with the skill. I didn't even know what it truly did, so I just felt better only using it if I felt I had to, which so far, I did not.
"Cici, your abilities are even more impressive. You're so strong and cool." Clarissa said, smiling at Cici.
Cici reached over, and placed her free hand over mine and Clarissa's, and smiled warmly at her.
"We are all strong together. And we will keep getting stronger, because of our darling mate. I'm so happy and proud to call you my sister, Clarissa. Let's do our best to make our man happy together." She said, causing moisture to gather in Clarissa's eyes, and in mine.
"Together." Clarissa said, and they both snuggled into me.
I held them close, squeezing their hands tightly.
"And I will do my best to live up to that, and make you both as happy as you deserve." I said, feeling warmth fill my heart as a content smile made its way onto my face.
I felt two pairs of warm lips press against either side of my face, and my smile only grew. Cici truly was right. I would have been happy with just her. She still held my heart the most, but I couldn't deny the simple fact that Clarissa made me happy too. Being able to love both of them, to have them both in my life? This was a new kind happiness, one that I never wanted to let go of.
"Cici, Clarissa, I love you both." I said.
"We love you too." They replied in unison, and then began giggling at each other.
I think they planned that. It had me grinning either way. I sat there with them for a while longer as they both cuddled into me, and pressed their soft bodies into mine. After a while, I actually heard and felt the soft snores of Clarissa next me, and I heard Cici let out a soft chuckle.
"She's so cute." She said, running a hand over Clarissa's hair, making the woman smile in her sleep.
"Between everything that happened today, at the shop, the date, me wearing her out, and the info dump from the Framework, I'm kinda surprised she made it as long as she did. I am a little tired too, to be honest." I said, and Cici gave me a sleepy smile as she made a very catlike yawn, making me laugh.
"Yeah... I suppose it's bedtime." Cici said, standing up and stretching, her tail standing straight out adorably.
I put my arms under Clarissa's legs, and carefully picked her up in my arms as to not wake her. Together, we walked back to the room, where Cici actually had to hold in her laughter as she saw all of mine and Clarissa's cumstains on the bed, as well as my drying semen on the floor. I grimaced and quickly summoned two Abyssal Shades, instructing them to clean up the room and change the sheets while Cici and I waited outside of the room. It was cheating, yeah, but I didn't wanna do it.
"Before I forget, I wanted to talk to you about something." Cici said, and I remembered what she had mentioned earlier.
"Benji and Serena?" I asked, and she nodded.
"Yes. Darling, they are way too ancy. I doubt they can even sleep. They are excited, but also scared. More than they let on. They want to rush back home, but are afraid that they have been gone for too long, and that it's already too late. They... also believe that they are asking too much from you." She said, and I frowned at that, but before I could protest, she added, "I assured them that isn't the case. I know how much you want to help them. Eli, they've been ready to go back home for months... they just can't shake that fear. So, I think tomorrow you should just tell them to get ready, and just go. I can't bare seeing them like this any longer."
"That's fine. I won't make them, but I will reassure them and hopefully get them to agree. I don't like the thought of their people being treated so terribly. And, I made a promise to Benji. He will see his lady again... at least, I hope." I said, perishing the thought of the worst possible outcome.
"No matter what happens, we will help them." Cici said, a fire in her eyes.
"You're right. We will." I said, hoping to hell it wasn't too late.
Only a few minutes later, my Shades came out of the bedroom, where I then instructed them to clean up the living room next, and then just stand guard. I could dismiss them later, but it was nice having a couple around. Cici and I entered the bedroom with Clarissa cradled in my arms. I walked over to the bed which now had fresh sheets and blankets on it from the closet, and the dirty ones were now piled in a corner against the wall.
Cici went over and pulled the blanket back, before getting into the bed on the right side. I just smiled as I brought Clarissa over to the opposite side, and gently laid her in the bed with her head resting against the pillow. I kissed her forehead, and then made my way to the edge of the bed, and slowly crawled my way into the middle, Cici smirking at me as I did so.
Once I was in the bed, and situated, I pulled the blanket up and over all 3 of us. Cici immediately snuggled into my side, making me smile as I put my arm around her.
"I was... going to see if you wanted to go another round... but I'm tired." She said sleepily.
Before I could respond, I felt Clarissa's arms drape over me as she snuggled into my other side, burying her face into my shoulder. Cici and I both laughed softly. She really was a cutie, and she was all mine. I put my other arm over her, and I just lay there, my arms holding them close. Cici feel asleep mere moments later, and I reflected on how wonderful my life was again, before I too fell asleep with a warm smile on my face.
