The girls spent the next few minutes explaining to Pixelle and Lexi how the iPoints system worked.
Once they understood it, both fairies immediately began examining the notifications in their systems.
The results were… impressive.
With the addition of not one, but two new members, the group had triggered multiple "first-time bonuses."
The points stacked rapidly.
Every one of the Vixens had woken up sore, exhausted, and slightly hungover from the previous night.
But seeing the massive increase in iPoints made everyone feel significantly better.
Bunny was the one who explained it first.
"iPoints are exclusive to Jax's system," she said proudly.
"He has a Harem Bonus system. iPoints are gained from… activities with Jax or around him with the group."
Pixelle blinked.
"And these points make you stronger?"
Llandra nodded calmly.
"They can be converted into stat increases or new abilities."
She folded her arms with a confident smile.
"It is the reason we grow in strength so quickly."
She gestured toward Jax.
"Jax has the power to make the women around him stronger."
"And the more we cooperate with him… the more powerful we become."
Pixelle's eyes sparkled.
"So the reason you train during the day—"
"—is tactics and combat," Bunny finished.
"But the reason we spend time with Jax at night…"
Nyxian leaned back in her chair with a grin.
"…is because it's much more efficient."
Pixelle slowly nodded.
"That is… very practical."
Zee suddenly froze.
Her eyes widened.
"Oh!"
Everyone looked at her.
"I don't think we got our points from this morning."
The group went quiet.
Jax waved it off casually.
"It's fine," he said.
"You can miss a morning."
But Llandra immediately shook her head.
"That is not acceptable."
She stood and straightened her posture.
"After breakfast, we will all take a shower together."
Nyxian snorted.
"That's one way to say it."
Then she leaned toward Jax with a mischievous smile.
"That must have been rough on you this morning."
Jax blinked.
"What?"
Nyxian tilted her head.
"Your big brother was probably aching after all the aphrodisiac in your system last night."
Jax paused mid-bite.
"Aphrodisiac?"
Nyxian nodded.
"Fairy Cider."
Jax leaned back in his chair slowly.
"Oh."
That explained a lot.
"I thought I was just… really happy."
Nyxian burst out laughing.
"Oh you were."
Pixelle and Lexi barely heard the conversation.
They were still busy assigning their massive pile of iPoints.
Pixelle's eyes widened.
"Oh my goodness."
"Look at these bonuses!"
Nyxian answered Jax's earlier question instead.
"It's how the cider is made."
She shrugged.
"Fairies are very sexual creatures."
"The cider just… amplifies that."
Jax nodded thoughtfully.
"Interesting."
After breakfast the group followed through with Llandra's very serious plan for a group shower.
The morning iPoints were collected.
Even more bonuses appeared due to Pixelle and Lexi's first-time contributions.
By the time they finished, everyone's stats had jumped noticeably.
The rest of the day was dedicated to training.
Pixelle had gained several new abilities overnight thanks to the points she had earned.
The group gathered in the clearing while she tested them.
Her new abilities included:
Bloomstep
A short-range teleport through nearby plants or roots.
Petal Veil
A shimmering shield of glowing petals that could briefly deflect magic attacks.
Fairy Blessing
A temporary aura that boosted allies' luck and agility.
Seedshot
A magical projectile that exploded into vines that could briefly restrain enemies.
The abilities were promising.
But still…
Pixelle's combat power remained low compared to the others.
After several hours of testing, Jax reached a conclusion.
"For this raid," he said carefully, "you'll stay in Nyxian's cleavage during most combat."
Pixelle crossed her arms.
"I am the Fairy Queen."
"And you are also the newest Vixen," Nyxian reminded her.
Pixelle sighed dramatically.
"…Fine."
Lexi also gained several abilities.
Unlike Pixelle, her talents leaned more toward support.
Her new abilities included:
Healing Touch
A gentle restorative spell that could accelerate healing.
Fairy Mend
A passive aura that slowly restored stamina for nearby allies.
Heart Pulse
A calming magic that stabilized emotions and reduced panic during battle.
Pixie Spark
A small burst of magical energy that could stimulate allies or restore focus.
While Lexi had no interest in fighting, her abilities made her extremely useful as Pixelle's assistant.
She would remain behind during the raid but eagerly volunteered to watch the training sessions.
That evening was far calmer than the previous night.
At least… at first.
The Vixens were hesitant about Fairy Cider.
They had all enjoyed the experience.
But the hangover and soreness afterward had been… memorable.
Pixie Mead was safer.
They began dinner with that instead.
Tonight's meal was different.
Jax prepared a massive pot of Chicken Alfredo-style pasta for the village.
For the Vixens themselves, he served something special.
Pecan-crusted steak—made from a creature similar to cattle in this world—soaked in herb butter.
With roasted vegetables.
And Caesar salad.
The Vixens devoured it.
Nyxian finished first.
Then she raised her mug.
"Bring me some of your cider."
The nearby fairies hesitated.
Nyxian pointed toward Jax.
"And make sure his mug is the biggest one in the village."
The Vixens groaned.
Pixelle and Lexi exchanged amused glances.
But no one actually stopped her.
After all…
Tomorrow they would enter the raid.
They could die.
If that happened, at least they would enter the World Tree happy.
The cider arrived.
Pixelle actually preferred the Pixie Mead now.
Years of drinking fairy cider had built up a tolerance.
But the evening slowly relaxed everyone.
This night was calmer.
Less chaotic.
More comfortable.
Pixelle was determined to show Jax exactly what she could do.
When they finally stumbled to bed, the mood was full of laughter and affection.
The night passed in warm chaos and satisfied exhaustion.
Even Lexi—who remained in her fairy form—found herself participating in ways that left her extremely happy with the results.
By the time everyone finally collapsed into sleep…
The entire group lay tangled together.
Content.
Exhausted.
And smiling.
Pixelle and Lexi had lived long lives before meeting Jax.
But neither had ever experienced anything like this.
And as they drifted off to sleep…
Every Vixen, new and old, rested a hand, a wing, or a cheek somewhere against him.
Their lives were simply better with Jax in them.
Tomorrow…
They would enter the World Tree.
And everything would change.
