[Welcome to the Isekai Center.]
"Heh?!" Aldric jolted awake and found himself sitting in a pitch-black space. Around him floated numerous orbs glowing with a mysterious purple light.
"Isekai?!" Hearing the mechanical voice echo around him, Aldric asked in confusion, "This place… what is it?"
[As you just heard, this is the Isekai Center. I am an A.I. created to operate this facility.]
"Ah! So… I'm dead then?"
[Correct!]
Aldric sighed, feeling a pang of despair. But when he recalled that the A.I. mentioned this was an Isekai Center, his eyes lit up with sudden hope.
Of course, he had read countless novels and manga, so he immediately understood what was happening to him.
"Isekai? Hahaha… I can actually get isekai'd?"
[Indeed. However, the System will assign your destination world randomly.]
"Ah!" Aldric looked a little nervous. "Can I… refuse?"
[If you refuse, you will truly die.]
Aldric: "…"
"Alright! Then which world will I be sent to?"
[Beginning random selection… Selection complete.]
At that moment, a holographic screen appeared before him, just like in a sci-fi movie.
…
World: I.F 2705004
Type: Fantasy
Description: This world is facing a severe crisis due to a shortage of Mana sources. Various races are fiercely clashing over control of Mana flow, and wars are breaking out everywhere.
In short, the world is in a state of extreme chaos.
…
Aldric: "…"
"Oy! No matter how you look at it, this sounds dangerous. Can't you send me somewhere else?" Aldric frowned.
[Then you may die!]
"Ack! Wait! Wait! I'll take it! But at least give me some kind of help, right?"
[Beginning random identity selection… Selection complete.]
The information on the holographic screen shifted to display new details.
…
Name: Aldric Sterling
Status: Eldest son of a noble family
Rank: 0 (Apprentice)
Mana: 100 Points | Recovery Rate: 5 Points / Hour
Description: You are the eldest son of a noble family. Your father is a Count.
However, you possess no magical talent whatsoever, which caused your siblings to grow jealous when your father decided you would inherit the family fortune.
As a result, they plotted to have you killed.
…
Aldric: "…"
"Oy! I feel like you really hate me, don't you? Why does every option feel like I'm starting a game on 'Hell' difficulty?"
[All System choices are random. Please do not question my methods.]
Aldric sighed. "If this is your idea of helping me, then I'd rather you didn't."
[Initiating selection of a personalized System.]
"Ah! So I get my own special System?" Aldric perked up at the notification.
[Congratulations. You have obtained: Harem System.]
…
Name: Harem System.
Functions:
Issue Missions: The System will randomly assign missions to you. Of course, completing missions grants rewards; failing missions will incur punishment. Level Up: Helps you level up more easily through Exp points. Collect Harem Exp: Each member of the harem will provide you with a certain amount of Exp each time you make love to them.
The partner's level of satisfaction will be evaluated and scored by the System and converted into Exp for you.
Symbiosis: You can transfer your Mana to your partner through the act of sex.
Note: This process is passive and beyond your direct control. Depending on the partner's power and rank, the amount of Mana they receive will vary.
Special Note: If your Mana drops to 0, you will lose consciousness, face life-threatening danger, or even die.
System Shop: Here you can purchase items sold by the System Shop using Exp points.
Other functions will unlock if you satisfy the System's conditions.]
"Ah! Harem System, very suitable for someone like me." Aldric licked his lips and mumbled.
Having a System eased his worries.
If he arrived in that world empty-handed, he would simply be waiting to be killed by his scheming siblings.
[If you are ready, I will transport you to a random location in world I.F 2705004.]
Aldric skimmed all the information before him, especially the System's functions.
After taking it in, he knew what he had to do.
"Hahaha… This System really leverages my strengths." Aldric laughed confidently. "So in short, as long as I flirt with girls and sleep with them I can get stronger, right?"
[Correct.]
Aldric grinned. "Good! I understand. Send me to that world."
He was genuinely eager, curious how his journey would unfold there and what kinds of women he would meet, how beautiful they might be.
[Beginning selection of teleportation destination…]
[Selection complete. Continent Terith, Carol Empire, Graveyard region.]
"What? Wait! Why are you sending me to a graveyard right away?" Aldric blurted.
[Initiating teleportation…]
Whoosh!
Whether Aldric agreed or not, he vanished; the space fell silent again.
Suddenly, someone else appeared.
A girl with long golden hair reaching her waist, her face youthful and pretty, looked bewildered at being brought to this place.
[Welcome to the Isekai Center.]
….
"Um…" Aldric shivered as a cold wind blew.
He slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a soft bed in an opulent, luxurious room.
"The drug has taken effect, hurry up!" Suddenly, a young man's voice rang out.
Although the speaker tried to lower his voice, Aldric still heard him.
Aldric tried to sit up, but his body felt unbearably heavy and immobile.
"Ack!" At that moment, a flash of memory pierced his mind, causing pain as if someone were repeatedly smashing a hammer into his head.
Seconds later the pain subsided. He realized the memory related to the identity the Isekai Center had assigned him.
Indeed, Aldric truly was the eldest son of a noble family, but had no magical talent, and his siblings plotted to kill him because his father intended him to inherit the family fortune.
Now he recognized the voice as that of his younger brother, Cedaric.
'What does he intend to do to me?' Aldric panicked inwardly. 'Could it be… he wants to kill me?'
'No, if he did that Father would easily discover it, and he would get into trouble.'
"Hahaha, Young Master, don't worry." At that moment, the hoarse voice of an old woman echoed through the room. "That drug will paralyze him for quite a while, though he'll still be able to hear and see everything around him."
Hearing that voice, Aldric was startled. 'There's someone else in the room?!'
"Damn it! So he can actually hear what we're saying?" Cedaric shouted in confusion.
The woman sneered. "Kekeke… Young Master, do you really think he'll survive the day?"
"Once I summon a Succubus and let it have sex with him, with his frail human body, that thing will suck his life energy dry."
"Kakaka… after that, you just have to claim he was using dark magic and got killed by the Succubus."
"Ah!" Cedaric burst out laughing. "Hahaha… you're right! Dark Sorcerers are like rats — everyone wants them dead. If he dies that way, my father surely won't care, hahaha…"
"Indeed, Young Master, rest assured. Even the weakest Succubus I can summon could kill a Rank 1 Awakened with ease," the woman said, her raspy tone enough to make one's skin crawl.
"Hurry up! Summon the Succubus now!" Cedaric barked impatiently.
"Kakaka…" The woman began chanting, and a glowing magic circle appeared, flooding the room with blinding purple light.
"This isn't good!" the woman suddenly gasped in terror. "That's… a High-Rank Succubus!"
"A High-Rank Succubus?" Cedaric repeated, bewildered.
"Run!" the woman screamed. "If a High-Rank Succubus manifests, it'll drain the life out of every living thing nearby!"
"Damn it! Are you insane? My father is still inside this mansion!"
But before Cedaric could finish, the woman had already fled. Seeing this, his face turned pale, fear taking over, and he quickly bolted out as well.
Aldric: "…"
Lying on the bed, he had heard the entire conversation. His heart pounded with unease, anxiety filling his chest. Yet he tried to calm himself.
'It's fine. In my previous life, I was a playboy who slept with countless women. There's no way I'd lose to a Succubus, right?'
At that moment, the air in the room thickened, as if the very space had turned into heavy sludge.
Aldric could feel the weight pressing down on his chest.
