The sunlight shone upon the lands free from malice or intrigue. Most things in this world cared not for your problems and circumstances. Hiro right now felt his nerves grating on edge. The man currently had a stack of problems as high as the sky.

There was a saying back on earth: when it rains, it pours. Bad events tend to build upon one another and strike like a pack of wolves. Right now that saying rang true with what currently is going on.

Problem 1: Lene, Nessa, and Jei were undergoing their first caliber awakenings. Due to being desperate for power, they decided to perform what they called an overdraft awakening.

Problem 1.1: They blind-sighted the butcher by calling what appeared to be a fucking three-headed demigod. And from what Hiro understood they requested to become beings as Vaginarnis.

Problem 2: Hiro's empresses were concerned about Tsugumi. Before they left their room today they asked him if he could train her. Unable to understand the butcher readily agreed.

Problem 2.1: Due to choosing to act like enemies, Hiro's women fought against Tsugumi and her hubbies. The result? A curb stomping so thorough Sword Dynasty is in no state for combat.

Problem 2.2: Due to being under their overdraft awakening, his wives acted like lunatics. Not only defeated but mutilated the San-Baka. They also psychotically went after civilians with the intention to kill them. Finally, they verbally harassed and disparaged Tsugumi.

Problem 2.3 For an unknown reason, Tsugumi could no longer use [One with Sword]. However, it seemed like Hiro's empresses knew more than they let on. Hiro surmised this was what they acted as they did.

Problem 2.4 Tsugumi broke down and no longer wished to fight. The San-Baka are currently trying to console her.

Problem 3.0 A dragon appeared. Hiro beat it up and right now he learned this beast was his daughter transformed. Currently also wounded and protected Tsugumi.

Problem 4.0 Starfall arrived in Partisan led by Gilthunder as Spouse ranked transmigrator.

Problem 4.1 Gilthunder had stats higher than Hiro's base while being shackled. Shackled meant your starts would be reduced by 90%.

Problem 5.0 a large twenty-thousand shadow army arrived in a blitz and seemed to wish to kill his wives. Right now it is believed they were summoned by the howls of Fenrir.

As one can see, Hiro currently faced problems outside his family as well as inwardly. 'Really girls.. Did you have to do all this shit right now? Gilthunder remains the biggest thorn now I have the shadow army to deal with!'

However, if anyone would see the countenance of Hiroto Musashi, they would not see a person in despair. His eyes which should be lifeless, burned with a fire that could not be quenched. The man's face showed neither fear nor discouragement; his lips twisted into a savage grin.historical

Around the butcher raged on a hurricane of tri-colored calibers. His majesty and presence removed all doubt of his inclination for war. Gilthunder who not only saw but felt the bloodlust inwardly panicked.

'WHAT THE FUCK! He is a transmigrator! I knew this dude is not normal! Who is he? Who summoned him? Does Rhyne know? Is there another group summoning transmigrators? Is it Gae-bolg?'

Before he could get answers however like an animal Hiro swung his two-meter-long greatsword towards Gilthunder. Steel came at a speed unfathomable even to Gilthunder who had over four thousand AGI.

The ground broke and the winds snapped at the speed of his movement. Gilthunder's build or specialty revolved around the single-hit assassination. He fashioned his passives and secondaries all for this purpose. Consequently, he excelled in backstabbing but could not bear a frontal match. The husband of Starfall tried to parry the incoming sword but naturally could not bear the weight!

'HOW THE HELL IS HE SO POWERFUL!! EVEN SHACKLED! I HAVE OVER TWO THOUSAND STR!'

Unable to stop the blow, with power that exceeded his weight, Gilthunder naturally was sent flying. And his destination? Naturally the charging line of heavy cavalry opposite Hiro's position. Like a fly, the husband of Starfall got sent into an incoming army of shadows.

Not sparing a second glance. Hiro smiled as his blood boiled. After marking the thousands of enemies around him the buffs he got from his core skills almost doubled his stats.

'Being outnumbered only matters if you cannot kill your enemy. So long as you can. No matter how many there are, all they can hope is if you fall before they are all dead.'

"HAHHAHAAHAHA! I HAVE BEEN FEELING RUSTY! LET'S DO THIS!"

The doubling of stats naturally spiked his calibers as well. Unable to acclimate Hiro's highest caliber Aura naturally made him increasingly aggressive. But of course, his Spirit reigned in his bloodlust to a controllable degree.

'I need to defend the girls; form a battle line. So I can fight in peace.'

With the kill zone slowly tightening aside from one side which got blocked by Gilthunder, three sides of heavy cavalry rushed towards Hiro with lances out. The butcher ran back towards his wives, they were in a loose circle with Sword Dynasty and the Dragon in the center.

Footholds made of mana started to appear in the air, Hiro quickly got on them as he traversed the skies. Many would think it would be faster to just fly using the mana constructs but most tend to forget the high AGI of System users.

One would need nearly three times the INT to be able to fast enough to outpace a system user who ran. Hiro needed to create footholds and deploy them at intervals faster than he could run before this method of movement made sense.

Because of such nuances, the butcher instead used them as platforms. Rather than one big leap. Running upwards with them could be sustained while allowing other actions. As Hiro ran upwards hundreds of brilliant lights came from the shadow armies that all converged on his position!

'Of course, they would have artillery!'

If that was not enough hundred of bird-like shadows rose from the ground and flocked to him. At this moment the charging knights would reach his wives in less than seconds. With his time running out, Hiro used his last platform to perform a mighty leap. The total height he reached would be 9000 meters.

'This should be high enough!'

Hiro then raised his greatsword above his head and roared in an overbearing voice. "[GROUND SHATTER]!!!" However the next moment Hiro entered the Spirit realm and covered himself in Calibers. Without [Overdrive] Hiro could no longer last long durations in the Spirit realm.

At most with his AGI, he could only last 10-15 seconds, followed by a cool-down period. It could be considered incredibly short. But while grinding Hiro learned a good use for the limit. Rather than use it all at once like what amateurs do. He instead uses it in mile-second bursts.

This became the key why when it comes to attacking, no matter how high your AGI Hiro's opening strikes became nigh unstoppable. There were 1000 milliseconds in 1 second. He normally used 500 milliseconds to make his sword strikes "teleport" to his enemies.

Of course, there was a reason no one fought like this. The main reason is speeding up your body and then slowing it down again stressed your cells. The cool-down period is due to your cells depleting their energy. If repeatedly slowing and stopping your cells naturally would die from exhaustion.
