The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

“Look, I’m being serious when I say you should add more ladies to your harem. You’re a Paragon with close to a dozen incarnations. This means the karma you carry is greater.

It also means the heavens will double down on their efforts to kill you. I know you saw my tribulations when I awakened, and compared to yours, you can see the difference.

Yours are several times stronger and more dangerous than mine. This is all the karma accumulated over generations. In a way, you’re carrying our sins.

The heavens will stop at nothing to kill you. In the past, you needed to become a Great Sage before the Heaven’s Favorites would be triggered. But now, it seems even at the Grandmaster stage, the heavens are getting scared and triggering it early.

I don’t blame them. Someone with the potential to wield nine of everything is a danger to anything he hates.

So listen—and listen well. Things will only become more dangerous, and if you don’t protect your heart, you’ll fall into their traps. So man up and go chase some skirt.”

Fruity’s laughter filled the space, making Klaus want to punch him. Well, he tried, but Fruity dodged effortlessly.

Klaus just sighed. In a way, he knew Fruity was being serious. But getting love advice from his past self just felt weird.

Then again, he already had close to ten ladies, though only three were officially in his harem. This meant he wasn’t slacking. However, he also wanted to follow Hanna’s advice and truly get to know his women well.

But then again, he already knew them enough. So what was preventing him from officially making them his?

“You can feel it, huh? The force holding you back,” Fruity said, glancing at him.

Klaus didn’t immediately answer. He sighed inwardly, knowing it was true. Months ago, he wouldn’t have hesitated to mark his women with his Paragon Rod. But now, he seemed to be holding back.

Lucy had already told him that Nia, Aoi, and Lulu were ready, yet he wasn’t showing the same enthusiasm he had felt when he first met Lucy and Miriam.

Back then, all he wanted was to bury his face in Miriam’s breasts. That was all he could think about. But now, with ladies who loved him and were ready to commit, he hesitated.

Something wasn’t right.

“Damn, the heavens are indeed very wicked. They can’t even leave my love life alone.” Klaus sighs, bending down his head.

“You need your Paragon Guards. With them around, some aspects of your life will be protected. As for your heart, we created the Paragon Mark to safeguard it, and the way to use it is to have people who love you linked to it.

We are Paragons, Klaus. We are not made to have peaceful lives. No, our lives are going to be very chaotic. You are going to experience memories that will break you.

You are going to experience things that will shatter your heart into many pieces. But if you have people who love you, you will eventually recover. Trust me, you need this,” Fruity sighed, his expression calm.

However, looking deep into his eyes, you could tell he was reminiscing about the past. Perhaps he failed to live up to his own words, or perhaps his expectations didn’t amount to much and were shattered.

Or maybe he just wasn’t able to endure and fell into despair. The end result, however, may have taught him a valuable lesson.

“I will heed your advice, Monk. Now, can you tell me how I can locate the Paragon Guards?” Klaus asked.

“You don’t find them. They will find you,” Fruity replied. “Knowing Yuying, she’s probably worried sick about you by now. The fox lady is too emotional.”

“Indeed,” Klaus nodded, smiling. He had lived through his memories and saw how much Yuying cared for Fruity. She sometimes worried too much about trivial things. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire

“Well, it’s her nature. It’s how she was made to be. She was meant to guard our emotions. All the Paragon Guards are made to guard a certain aspect of us, so when you meet them, treat them the way you treat your wives.”

“You don’t have to tell me. I know how much they mean to me. I just wish they were here; things would have been much easier.” Klaus took a sip of his drink.

“So the plan now is for me to become a Great Sage, huh? I need to grind hard then.” Klaus wasn’t about to forgive or forget.

Knowing Kate is heaven’s favorite, his hatred for her only grew. Soon, he would be able to put an end to a potential threat to his life.

“You also have to stay away from that heaven’s favorite for a while. Although your heart is guarded, heaven’s interference has disrupted the initial plan for you to awaken your bloodline.

However, you shouldn’t worry. The memories will appear once you become a Great Sage. But I would advise you to hurry.

The heavens keep getting more aggressive by the second; it would be good if you grew faster to accommodate whatever they throw in your way.”

“I see. I guess peaceful seclusion won’t cut it. I have to go back out there and do it the hard way,” Klaus sighed.

Since he wouldn’t just go and line up all his ladies to link them to the Paragon Mark, he would have to take the next best path and grind hard.

“Is there anything else I should know before going back?” Klaus asked.

“Indeed. Have a heart-to-heart with the first Starlight. If possible, add her to the Paragon Mark.”

“I am not seducing my sister, you punk. Are you even a monk? You look more like a playboy!” Klaus held back from slapping himself.

“She’s adopted, and hey, I was popular with the ladies back in the day. But heed my words: you need to have a heart-to-heart with her and get things off her chest. Of course, you can do it physically, which is better than you think.” Fruity grinned.

“Send me away. I don’t want to keep listening to your shamelessness.”

“Fine.” A golden orb appeared in Fruity’s hand, and they pressed it against Klaus’s left arm.

“Heed my words, Klaus: add more ladies to the harem, your sister included, and don’t go after the heaven favorite for now. Of course, you can use your words, which I know you’re an expert at.

That’s all. Make sure to drop by later. You’ll know what to do.” Immediately after he finished those words, Klaus’s vision blurred, and then he blacked out.

Fruity smiled and muttered, “Playing hard to get won’t take you anywhere, Klaus. You need to take the next step to awaken the star before it’s too late.”

Back in the real world, Klaus opened his eyes only to find himself wrapped in Queenie’s arms. She was asleep with her head resting on his chest.

Luckily for Klaus, she was in just one-piece nightwear that revealed more than 80% of her skin.

‘She seems to have gotten bolder compared to the last time I was here,’ he smiled, and then his hands found her exposed ass.

He started rubbing it while he waited for her to wake up from the dream she was having.
