Raising a Monster

Welcome to the madness.
I'll be your guide.

@LinkOnScepter. We've got another one.

Yeah, you got that right!

FINALLY I'M FINISH READING.
HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS QUEST

Well, most of the quests I've come to like I mostly just stumbled upon thanks to a combination of curiosity and dumb luck/random chance, so there's that.

And as @BurningLaugh said; Ẃ̨͢͜͡é̵̕͠l͝c̴̸ơ̸͡͝m͏́͟͝e̸̴̢͞ ̵̶t͘͘͜͜͡o͟͟͞ ̛̕͜͜ţ͟͡h̴̶e̵͢ ̵̸̡I̵̵̡͠͝n̸̕͝͞s̶͜͜͠a̴̡̧ǹ̕͝҉i͘̕t̴̶̡͝ý̢̀͡!͏̴̨͟ [00:41-2]
 
Ohohohohohoohohoh! Be-lieve me! We latch on to pretty much anything that even slightly suggests a ship! Also, is forming a Reverse Harem at all possible for us?

If by "us" you mean Ana, then yes but it will inevitably end in Tragedy...not Romeo and Juliet kind. Just Ana having to let everyone down gently since she'll outlive everyone else by a few millenia.

HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THIS QUEST

Firstly, thanks for reading. Glad to see that new people are still discovering my Quest.

Second, as @BurningLaugh and @TerrorCooper said before, Welcome. I hope you enjoy yourself.
 

She will, but it'll be different from the way humans experience it here. Won't be as bad as you might think.

I do wonder how Ana would react to Howard dying, she's getting a long life span, so we would be basically a speck in the grand scheme of things, but Howard did raise her from the beginning, so there's that to consider.

If you guys are worried about that, Howard can seek ways to increase his life span and even gain immortality/stop aging. It's just that those things will all come at a significant cost to him and those around him.

Ana has already thought about this, of course. As to what she'll do about it...all I'll say is keep your Trust up.
 
I mean...as an eldritch she could probably distort Howard's very being to make him immortal....or she can find someone that'll do it for her.

Positive that there is someone willing to help her.
 
Day 30 Part 2/ Day 31
"Oh, who's this Ana?" you watch the boy as his head darts from side to side.

The newcomer starts walking around your home while your daughter begins explaining, "He's a new friend I met at the park. His name is Blue."

"Nice to meetcha," Blue suddenly appears by your leg, holding his hand out for you to shake. You do, smiling at the young man, surprised as his firm grip. He lets go and starts to circle around you, eyes roaming your body.

"Um," you can't help but feel really uncomfortable now, "is something wrong, Blue?"

He stops right in front of you and turns to Ana with a hand on his chin, "So, this is your dad, huh? Not bad." Before you're able to ask what he means, he walks to your kitchen and starts rummaging through the fridge. You look at Ana with panic on your face, but all she does is shrug before following after Blue.

….Did you just take in a freeloader?
