The Harem King

The poor family reminded me of my own and thus, I adequately rendered them more a.s.sistance than what was necessary.

Though it gave me nothing in return but somehow I felt good inside. It"s great to do decent things for a change, I concluded. HAHAHA!

"Where to, Sir?" a mechanical voice queried.

"Pamela Street No. 69." I answered. Time to go home and greet my family with riches and honors. HAHAHA!

"Hang on tight, Sir. We"ll be there in no time." The compartment of the transport ship resounded.

"Has my purchases arrived on time, Nomad?" I asked the system something that I already knew the answer of. Still, it was better than talking to myself.

"Affirmative, host. Five Pieces of Prime Nanotech Suit has already been delivered at the specified location." The system answered.

"Very good." I whispered and closed my eyes.

"We have arrived, Sir!" the voice of the AI on the flying transport ship announced after only 30 seconds of travel.

"Interesting!" I muttered after I opened my eyes. An enchanted smile was now fully presented on my face. I had peered into the future and loved the promise of tomorrow.

Of course, looking into a hundred thousand years from now was foolish. HAHAHA! So I kept it at 1,000 years into the future.

Got to retain some surprises for me at least. And with enough insurance that nothing untoward would occur to me and to my family. Thus, one thousand years was a fine number to see.

Precognition – can see the events of the future. The more you look beyond your current time frame, the more inconstant the events are. (no limit)

"What a broken ability. HAHAHA!" I laughed in my mind. My steps took me out of the shuttle and into the busy streets of my neighbourhood.

"Isn"t that Damon?"

"How can he afford to ride that bird?"

"f.u.c.k!"

"Yo Damon! Did you f.u.c.k the City Mayor"s daughter?"

"HAHAHAHA!"

The white noise of the ignoramuses called for my attention but who was i? HAHAHA! They are but worms of the hallowed earth I step upon.

Everyone should be bowing their heads in reverence to my divine persona. That time will come soon enough.

HAHAHA! I continued to go inside the rundown building and disregarded the trashes in my way.

"I"m home, mom! Open up!" I called when I got to our home.

"How was the enrolment, Damon? Did you pa.s.s the tests?" My mother greeted me with questions after she let me in.

"Yup. It was okay, mom. I aced it, easy. HAHAHA!" I laughed and my vision went behind her where my sisters were running excitedly towards me.

"Where is it, brother?! Did you buy the cell phones?!" Stephany asked impatiently. She hugged my left arm and looked into my eyes, smiling.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Tell us you brought them, brother! I told Stephany about what you said earlier.

Was it just a lie?" Kiera mirrored Stephany"s reaction on my right arm and almost teared up when I stilled my reaction to a halt.

HAHAHA! What lovely little doves.

"Of course, I got them! Here." I finally said when a bead of liquid from Kiera"s eyes was about to fall. My cry baby sister.

"YEHEYYYY!"

"I KNEW IT!"

"CELL PHONES!"

"WEEEEEEEEE!"

"I LOVE YOU BROTHER!" The two jumped in joy and gave me two wet kisses on each cheek. HAHAHA! Wise brats!

"Hey! Take only two of them! The rest are for me, mom and dad! And don"t open them all up.

They"re the same brands you midgets! Hahaha!" I yelled after the two took off dismantling the cases from the bag I lent them.

"Hmmm. Where did you get the money, Damon?" I heard my mom asked beside me.

"I found a rare metal yesterday, mom. I knew it would sell big. I took it to an appraiser and its worth was at least 1 trillion universal credits.

They said it was part of an alien ship and the information they"d get from it would be priceless.

I took the money and gave them the item." I weaved lies out of nothing and intentionally lowered my voice to affect the atmosphere I"d wanted to get.

"REALLY?!" but mom couldn"t contain her excitement. HAHAHA!

"Shhhhh! It"s unbelievable, I know. But it"s the truth, mom." I shushed her down.

"Did you tell anyone about this, Damon?!" mom was livid with delight but she did not forget to guard against any unforeseen eventuality.

A street smart lady, that"s my mom. HAHAHA!

"Only you, mom. I know it would be dangerous for others to know of this." I replied.

"Good. HAHAHAHA!"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" my mother hugged me tightly while she was laughing her heart out. And after a while, I felt my shoulders go wet with her surging emotions.

"Don"t cry, mom. Everything"s going to be okay from now on." I embraced the woman who gave me life into this world.

"What"s wrong, mom?" Kiera asked when she noticed mom"s shaking figure on my arms.

She tried to keep her sobs down but after her daughter"s question, she just couldn"t take it anymore.

The relief she felt was as palpable as the rivers of tears she was outpouring.

"Uh.. Nothing… Uhh… Kiera… Mother"s…. just… uhhh… happy…" mom answered with her choking sobs for all to hear.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Don"t cry, mom!"

"WOOo Wooo WOooO!"

And my sisters joined in on the cry fest. HAHAHA!

"KNOCK!"

"KNOCK!"

"KNOCK!" but our family hug was interrupted by the sudden advent of a visitor. Good timing, Nomad. I applauded.

"Who is it?" I called through the door.

"Flash Service Delivery! Here for Mr. Everhart." A familiar moronic voice answered back.

"Thank you." I said after I got my purchases for the day.

"Did you buy some more things for us, brother?" Stephany asked. She looked on the five big boxes on the floor and touched them gently.

She was an adorable curious cat. HAHAHA!

"Yes, open it." I nodded.

"What is this, brother?" Kiera asked after she had opened hers also. She gazed at her gift with amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Are these cooking gloves, brother? But we don"t know how to cook. Hehehe." Stephany commented.

"Those are not for cooking, smarty pants. HAHAHA! Try it on." I answered.

"WOW!" Stephany exclaimed after she put the oversized gloves on and it turned transparent and vanished completely on her hands.

"Prime Nanotech User Identified…"

"a.s.similation Complete…"

"Welcome to the most advanced Nanotechnology equipment of our age…"

"Defensive and Offensive Capabilities are as follows…" Stephany heard the various beeping notifications in her ears.

"WOW!"

"It"s so cool!" she exclaimed and toyed with it.

"Weapons control access denied…"

"I think I broke it brother." Stephany sported a sad face after she heard the negative sounds from the invisible machine.

"HAHAHA! It"s not broken, Stephany. It"s still there." I answered her.

Giving a weapon of ma.s.s destruction to a teenager was plain irresponsible. HAHAHA!

At least she"d enjoy its defensive armaments. It was more than enough for her protection, I thought.

"Will this heal…" I heard mom"s voice after all of us had worn our unseen suits.

I could see that she was afraid to continue her question in fear that she might not get what she wanted to hear.

"Let"s go and find out." Was all I told her.

"Hi, dear. Are you awake?" mom said to my father after we went into his room. He was always trying to sleep in order to avoid the pain of his condition.

With no money to buy painkillers, he suffered it all in silence. It would have been better if he could shout to express his misery.

But even that little respite was not granted to him. What a poor soul. I shook my head and felt sorry for my father.

But that will not be the case anymore. Not after tonight.

"Let"s try this on dear, okay? Damon bought this for you." Mom said after she noticed her husband"s eye b.a.l.l.s moved in slow tearful motions.

She had almost broken in tears again but forced them back with sheer will power. HAHAHA! What a brave woman.

Always showing a courageous front to ease the agony of her most beloved man.

"Prime Nanotech User Identified…"

"a.s.similation Complete…"

"Detecting defective cells in the genom..."

"Repairing defective cells…"

"Repair complete…"

"Welcome to the most advanced Nanotechnology equipment of our age…"

"Rachel?" father uttered his first word in years since the disease struck him down.

"Craig!"

"You"re okay!"

And my family has finally seen the beginning of a new light after total darkness had graced us for so long.

Alas, another tear party ensued and I myself dropped a few ones for effect. HAHAHA! Life was getting better and it had only just begun.
