He closed the screen with a sigh, rubbing his temples. Yeah, he was strong. But what about Tessa, Naomi, and Elena? They were still floating—glowing with raw power, their auras shifting like unfinished paintings. He'd changed them. Without asking.
Like, sure, it wasn't intentional. It wasn't like he woke up one day and thought, hey, let's throw my woman and maids into an awakening process and see what happens! No, it had happened without his knowledge. But still it was his doing. And honestly... Not everyone wanted this kind of power. So people liked normal. So people liked not having to question whether they were still human.
How the hell were they going to react?
Parker exhaled. This was gonna be a very interesting conversation. And by interesting, he ant potentially a disaster.
Ere, perched nearby, gave him a look. "So. You gonna tell them the truth?"
He thought about it. Then imdiately thought about how exhausting that would be.
"…Gonna summarize it."
Ere flicked her tail. "So, you're gonna lie."
"Not lie. Just…give the abridged version."
"Right."
Yeah. Today was gonna be long as hell if they asked too much and he knew he would only tell the whole truth only to Tessa but sothing told him he could trust the others too after all Naomi for example, the girl had a fucking unasurable loyalty.
After a mont, he leaned back, sighing. "Ere, get the eggs."
No hesitation. A flick of her tail, a shift in the air—and suddenly, three priceless, glowing, otherworldly eggs rested in her grasp.
Parker stood, moving toward the far side of the chamber. There, built into the structure, was a specialized incubator or what appeared to be, designed in so ancient way with runes growing on it—not so cheap machine, but a living, pulsing construct, practically breathing with Omni Energy. Designed specifically for creatures of his caliber.
Carefully, he placed the eggs inside.
"How long?" he asked, watching them settle.
[A month. Maybe a few months, if we're lucky!]
Parker exhaled. Three awakenings. Three eggs. And on top of all that bullshit, his sister was here. And that was a headache he was not ready for.
Parker went back to his seat and looked at the three and maybe out of curiosity or boredom, he started with Naomi. Hesighed, squinting at the three girls before muttering, "Levi, give her stats." A sleek interface flickered into existence, lines of text forming before his eyes.
[Na: Naomi Watson]
Age: 18
Race: Human
Power Level: (Still Awakening)
Superpowers: Shadow Embrace, Lunar Blessing
Abilities: Shadow Dancer, Lunar Dominion, Moonlit Blades, Moonveil Mirage, Silver Edge, Moonlight Rebound!
Physical stats not shown, target is still undergoing awakening!]
Parker tilted his head. "Lunar Blessing, huh? That's a nasty one. And coupled with Shadow Embrace? Damn, Ere, looks like you've got so competition for the best assassin."
Ere, curled lazily on his shoulder, flicked her tail, unimpressed. "Pfft, please. She's an infant compared to ."
Parker smirked. "Don't underestimate Naomi, Ere. She's got infinite loyalty, after all there's a reason for than, you know."
The irony wasn't lost on him. Naomi and Ere were practically best friends if he eliminated the fact that one of them was a cat. Hell, he still rembered that ti Ere straight-up refused to work it out with Tessa just to stick with Naomi.
Nevertheless, this was good. If Naomi accepted her powers, she'd be able to protect herself. No more worrying about her getting caught up in his ss without a way out or ever being powerless if one tried to kidnap her again.
His gaze shifted, locking onto Elena next. "Alright, Levi, give hers."
[Na: Elena Vasquez]
Race: Human
Power Level: Still Awakening
Superpowers: Nephilim Might, Aegis Authority
Abilities: Gaian Endurance, Thunderous Might, Supernatural Strength, Invulnerability!]
Parker exhaled through his nose, shaking his head. "I swear, I'm raising future monsters."
Nephilim Might? That was straight-up divine-tier brute strength. Aegis Authority? That ant she could probably tank a fucking missile and shrug it off and even phase through attacks. If Naomi was built for the shadows and thriving in sleek undetection, then Elena was made to stand in the middle of a battlefield and dare soone to hit her.
He let out a low chuckle. "Yeah, good luck to anyone dumb enough to throw hands with her."
Finally, his eyes softened as they landed on the unconscious figure encased in that strange cocoon of swirling energy—Tessa. Even in stasis, she was beautiful. Elegant. Composed. Regal in a way that made even stillness look like an art form. The air around her was sharp yet calm, chilling yet peaceful. It pulled at him, demanding reverence, like she was sothing more than human—sothing untouchable.
"Tessa, my woman!" He'd started this journey with her around although she was oblivious of how far Parker went all along but he'd with in her care, more or less. There to remind him he wasn't alone or a powerless kid anymore even when she didn't say anything.
And he thought she deserved powers more than anyone and the best.
Parker walked around her slowly, taking in every detail he let out a slow breath as he stared at Tessa's cocoon, his gut telling him this was about to be so serious shit. "Alright, Levi, gim her stats."
The interface flickered before his eyes.
[Na: Tessa (Nyxilith) Wilder]

Race: Human
Power Level: Harmonic Level

Abilities: Sovereign Vitalis, Celestial Sword Dance, Telekinetic Supremacy, Eternal Clock, Ti Reversion, Empress Decree, Eternal Rebirth, Ice and Frost Manipulation!
Physical Stats not shown, target's still awakening!]
Parker blinked once. Twice. Then—
"Hell!"
He ran a hand down his face, exhaling sharply. "Look at this monster!"
This chick had skipped straight to Tier 2 like the lower levels were beneath her. Not even a pause at the first stage—nah, she just walked in and owned the place.
His eyes flicked across her powers. Chronokinesis? That ant she could control ti—at least to a certain degree. Parker blinked. "Hah." He exhaled a short laugh. "Of course. Ti powers. Fucking knew it."
Then there was Life. That one made him pause. She had an affinity with the beginning itself. The concept of creation. He didn't know the full extent, but knowing Tessa? It was gonna be OP as fuck.
And then—oh, this one had him grinning. Telekinesis. His old power.
"Ayo, she actually got the fucking telekinesis?" Parker let out a short laugh, shaking his head. "That's wild. I literally handed her the keys to my old throne."
And then—his grin widened even more. The last one. Winter.
Frost. Ice. The cold.
His childhood self—before all of this, before the system, before he even knew what the hell he was—used to daydream about the kind of powers he'd want in another life. And every single ti? Ice. A frost queen.
And here she was.
His very own Ice Beauty.
"Damn." Parker smirked to himself, crossing his arms. "I really manifested this shit, huh?"
Ere flicked her tail. "You manifested a headache, that's what you did."
Parker snorted. "Nah, nah, Ere. Look at her. She's a damn empress now. Ti. Life. Telekinesis. And Winter? Bro, she's about to flex on everybody."
He pulled up her ability list and tapped into them one by one, shaking his head. "Fuck, I really am raising monsters in my backyard."
Ere tilted her head. "Ti magic and swordsmanship and all those other powrs? You're so screwed. How're going to keep up with all of us."
"Oh, I know I'm screwed," Parker muttered, running a hand through his hair. "She's about to flex that 'I'm better than you' energy even harder now." Not that he was complaining. The idea of Tessa being untouchable, a true queen in every sense of the word? Yeah. He could live with that.
He crossed his arms, smirking to himself. "Yep. Definitely raising monsters."
