Prologue 5: A System

It was at that moment that a multidimensional cubic structure came floating toward him while he was meditating and merged with him without Alaric noticing.

[What is it that you desire?] A mechanical voice resounded in Alaric in such a natural manner that it was easy to not feel anything weird about it.

(What is this… weird, for some reason I feel compelled to answer… Something is off…) He concluded but it was already too late.

"Desire? Huh?... If I could I would like to see it all, not just the world... Hahaha! Maybe I could even become a ruler... But would someone like me even be a proper ruler? I guess that's all I want. Man, I kind of have trash desires, don't I?" Alaric could help but laugh at his own desires as he let his thoughts out into the void.

[Your desires, have been made achievable.]

[Welcome to the Lustful Harem Ruler System]

Unlike the first message with the two next ones, Alaric immediately opened his 'eyes' wide as he noticed what was going on.

"Holy sh*t! Wait a second is this-." Before he could even react to the new development in his 'life', a new message popped up.

[Creating new path for Master... Adapting path to master's desires... Processing...]

It was then that the Galaxy space was left behind as the scenery once again changed for him.

____________________________________________

A new scenery took place around Alaric, as the vast sea of galaxies, was replaced by a never-ending white, having not a single figure there except a woman standing right in front of him. It was a deja vu for him.

(This place again?!… but who is that woman? She's not Luminesa, so who is she?) He questioned immediately as he looked around in part used to being thrown to a whole new place without warning.

"It seems a new soul has arrived... Oh my, there's even this aura I've never seen before around you." The woman leaned closer to him for observation, before a small smile formed and she licked her own lips before continuing. "You know what, do you want to make a deal with me?" she asked her hand extended to him.

(She doesn't even introduce herself and just asks for a deal? What's wrong with that?) Alaric was not impressed after the experiences he had with these so-called "Gods".

This prompted Alaric to look around, but he once again found nothing aside from the white space surrounding them just like the last time.

A sigh left his mouth and he turned to the woman before saying. "Sorry, but before anything else could you tell me what's going on?" He inquired.

As he looked at her, Alaric noticed that this woman had a figure and aura he found attractive, not that he had fallen in love with her at first sight or anything like that, just that she was captivating.

She had a dark-skinned tall figure like none Kymani had seen before, if he had to guess he would probably estimate her to be around 3 to 4 meters tall, a true giant woman, and something about that made Kymani's heart race but rather than in excitement, it was anxiousness that filled him.

Her long silvery hair looked silky and smooth almost too smooth if it weren't for its curly wavy style, Kymani would wonder if it wasn't made of glass or maybe even liquid. Eyes as golden as the purest of gold, if not more accompanied by silvery eyelashes and eyebrows reminiscent of her hair, a nose small but strong and imposed, and small lips with a natural pinkish glimmer to them.

All of it followed by a curvy hourglass-like body, perky breasts that despite not being big for her physique, were very standoffish due to her very light white dress, which resembled those of Greek Goddesses in style, a dress that was almost glued to her body that from what Kymani could see had no underwear or at least no bra.

This continued until her lower back half unlike her chest was what some would call a dump truck that easily made her dress as tight as it was, as well as being responsible for her mostly exposed tighs and legs in general. Lastly were her bare feet.

The woman chuckled, looking at Kymani with wryly smile that seemed to carry some excitement of sorts before replying. "Oh, but of course dear, where are my manners? First and foremost, I'm Revisia, a Divine of reincarnation and you're in the room of reincarnation."

Then there was a pause as she tapped her forehead for a bit before going on to say.

"It's a place where strong souls that didn't fall into the corrosion of the void, come to receive a second chance... The specifics are a bit all over the place since it works more on a case-per-case basis, though the standard is for the souls that come here to be reincarnated into a new life after being cleansed of everything to start again as babies with the bare bones instincts."

Once again she stops and shrugs her shoulders then makes a sofa out of thin air to lay on it.

"Then again, there are other cases, and recently the number of souls that gets to reincarnate with their memories intact has risen to unprecedented levels... Basically, everyone and their mothers are being reincarnated or sent to magic, cultivation, and in rarer cases futuristic or other types of worlds to live a new life and mostly cause chaos...

"Not that I'm complaining, since Celestals such as myself, and those with domains in magic, reincarnation, transportation, harems, lust, and so on have been getting more recognition and becoming a lot stronger. Actually, that's part of the reason things got to this point...

"Since as long as this keeps happening these Celestials such as myself will keep getting more powerful and I'm all for it." While she was rambling, and half-explaining things to Alaric, the woman wabbled her legs in the air as she lay on the sofa.

"So, I am dead?..." Even though Alaric was confused with everything just happening to him one after the other. Especially after all that happened with Truck-Kun.

"Yes, your body got destroyed the moment it entered this Universe, but your soul to rescued by some big Celestial before eventually getting handed to me, and my colleague… you'll meet her soon. Anyway, you're getting a special offer from me, what do you say?" Revisia let her head rest on her right hand looking down at Alaric with a sympathetic smile and warm eyes.

(This whole situation is absolutely mad… But if I can somehow be alive in the end it doesn't matter, but I will surely have so much to explain to my parents later.) He facepalmed and then sighed not bothering to get too angry at the situation.

"What kind of offer might that be?" Alaric questioned after taking a deep breath and letting the thought of his death rest.

"Would you be interested in becoming my follower? And maybe even my Apostle?" Revisia was straightforward about her intentions.

"Hum... What would I gain from taking your offer?" He asked seeing as these "Gods" just did whatever.

"That's actually quite simple, you would receive my blessing which would only get stronger as time went on, as well as equipment provided by me and even guidance...

"Oh, and becoming my follower will increase your affinity towards divine energy and make it easier for you to ascend to Divine status if you ever get there." She responded.

"That's not too bad, but I need to know what you will expect from me as your follower before I can decide." Alaric at this point was just tired and wanted to get it over with, even if he had to make another pact with a Divine for it.

"Well... I'll be honest with you, I'm a rather new Divine, and I don't have that strong of a following yet, so you would help me rise in power and I'll use that power to help you to the best of my abilities.

"Plus, you can always stop being my follower at will." The smile Revisia had become an awkward one and slowly her size changed as she shrank from being 3-4 meters tall to 160cm despite keeping her physique and voluptuous body, actually emphasizing it much more with her newfound shortness.

Alaric narrowed his eyes as he looked at Revisia before shaking his head and sighing. However, before he could say anything something popped up.

[Will you take this quest?]

[Yes] or [No]

(This quest seems very profitable and it's not like I lose too much by taking the deal, but those punishments for failing the quest... Kinda harsh if you ask me.

(Oh well, whatever happens, I should be able to complete it if the system is giving me chance to, so I'll take it. I hope to not regret this.) Putting his trust in his system, Alaric pressed [Yes] and took the quest.

[Quest 1#, has been taken and will be in effect as soon as Master becomes Revisia Ré's follower, otherwise, it will be considered a rejected quest.]

"I will become your follower, Lady Revisia." Alaric declared.

Revisia stopped and looked at Alaric without saying anything for a few seconds before saying. "Y-Yes! B-But of course! It seems you are wiser than I thought. Your choice today was the best decision you've ever made. I'll make sure of it, personally! Now, move closer so that we can begin the process."

(Even though I know this is actually official because of the system, the way she's saying it makes it sound and feel like I'm being scammed... ) Alaric thought to himself as he walked toward Revisia.

"Now, all you have to do is kneel and kiss the back of my hand. I'll do the rest." Revisia extended her right hand to Alaric and he did as she said.

"On this day, under the gaze of the vast infinity of space, I, Revisia Ré, proclaim you, Alaric Nyx Trexus, as my first and only follower, believer, and apostle candidate. May my grace always be with you and remember, it's never too late." Revisia chanted as a form of energy surrounded and connected them through treads of some sort.

[Master, you have become a follower of Revisia Ré, The Divinity of Reincarnation of Mirth, and as such Quest 1# has been successfully accepted and activated. Good luck.]

"Now, I hope that in the world of Mirth, you can make yourself someone great... And as shameless as it might sound, I'll need you to claim your deeds and accomplishments to be in my name.

"Of course, you'll still get credit for whatever you succeed in doing, but that way not only will you attract more followers, you'll spread my name and faith through the world.

"As for what message I stand by, I would say to live one's life to their best abilities, as long as, it brings them joy without disrespecting the joy and life of others... Also, can you build me a church?" Revisia expressed her thoughts.

"Wait, will I lose my position and blessing if I don't 'live to the best of my abilities and so happen to disrespect the joy of others'?" Alaric began feeling a bit of cold sweat as he thought of all the way too many scenarios where he would lose and fail the quest.

"Oh, not really. That will mostly applies to the other followers. The ones that will probably never ever get a glimpse of my figure, but you are my apostle candidate as well as my first follower, you have leeway to do basically whatever you want as long as it's not something too evil, hard to justify, or that could easily destroy my image." Revisia replied.

"Perfect! So, what now?" Alaric asked.

"Now, I have to actually do my job. So, do you want to be a hero and help save Mirth from the Devil Yovit and his bloodthirsty worshippers?" Revisia questioned.

"Wait, what's that about?" Alaric inquired.

"Nothing new, at least from what I heard. Basically, various kingdoms from Mirth decided to summon heroes from other worlds since there was a lack of naturally born heroes in this world.

"According to the deal made, each Divine is allowed to make a maximum of 4 individuals into heroes. Mind you, Mirth has 6 Divines, myself included... and quite a few half-Divines, but that's not important right now.

"What's important is your decision, do you want to be one of the at least 21 heroes that will exist in this world?" Once again Revisia semi-rambled before getting to the point.

"Sounds interesting, but what do I gain by becoming a hero? And most importantly, are there any restrictions to it?" Alaric questioned.

"As a hero, you get bonuses for almost everything, and more or less the only thing you have to do is listen to a few requests from your Divine.

Though you'll also be more likely to encounter Yovit's demons, and even if you don't go after them, they'll eventually come after you. There are little things here and there, but that's about it." Revisia explained.

"That sounds... Interesting... Though, I guess it really wouldn't be too much of a deterrent to me. Yeah, I'll take it." Alaric decided.

"Ok... That was all we had to do. Please take care of yourself, until we meet again, Alaric. Good luck with my colleague." Revisia waved goodbye to him as light covered Alaric and he disappeared from the room of reincarnation.

____________________________________________

Another fully white room was met with the presence of Alaric.

"Where am I now?! I'm so tired of this…" Alaric looked around only to once again find a single woman, standing there looking at him.

Unlike before this woman didn't have a smile on, but rather a frown before looking at him up and down multiple times, then sighing while shaking her head.

"So, you're the Trexus? So much for a family that births legends, and you're already heavily marked by that b*tch?... Did she stump so low as to give herself to a mortal? No, even she isn't that desperate." The woman began mumbling to herself.

"You're a Celestial, I assume." Alaric said.

"Oh? What gave it away? Was it my Celestial figure? Or maybe the fact that you see my domain room the same way you see Revisia's? No, it couldn't be that logical and simple answer, could it?" She leaned in closer to Alaric's face while touching her lips, not bothering to try to hide her blatant sarcasm.

When she got closer, so did Alaric get a closer look at her.

She was short with pale skin that made Kymani wonder if she had bleached it a couple of hundred times. Still, she was much shorter than Levera standing at about 150cm of height with a petite body to boot.

Her short blond hair looked soft and fluffy almost too fluffy. Heterochromatic eyes, the left one is blue and the right one is green with white eyelashes and eyebrows, a small tin nose complementing an air of almost morbid cuteness around her, lips quite full with a crimson tone that seemed like a lipstick but once one focused it was easy to spot that was not the case.

That was all then followed by her slim and flat body. She had a similar dress to Levera's this one is black and over that a white cloak with a hood. Lastly, she too was barefoot.

(All these "Gods" are completely crazy.) He concluded in his mind.

"Are you going to tell me, why I'm here? Or do I have to figure that out?" Alaric questioned.

"At least answer mine, before you ask questions of your own. You, mortals, are getting too comfortable.

"Anyway, you're here to merge with your body before you actually get reincarnated in Mirth. Just make it quick. You can use this." She looked Alaric up and down before rolling her eyes. She snapped her fingers, and a white mannequin appeared right there.

This scene made him look at her and the mannequin in succession for a bit. However, it didn't last as Alaric moved to it.

Once he got close enough, a floating screen with a message appeared in front of him.

[Please create your mortal avatar.]

This made him begin creating his avatar and the final result was.

"Looks half decent. I'm done." Alaric smiled with satisfaction looking at his complete work.

"You mortals never change." The woman there with him commented.

"Did a mortal do something to you?" Alaric couldn't help but ask seeing her attitude.

"Mortals are mostly ungrateful and rude, so after interacting with trillions of them, I've grown tired of everything. Honestly, this makes me wonder if becoming a Celestial was worth it at all." She responded to Alaric's surprise.

"Can't you just quit and let another Divine take the task?" He asked.

"... I would get mad at that suggestion if you weren't an unaware mortal, but no, I can't just do the most obvious thing.

"It is a requirement that I do this for a few more thousands of years before I can apply to go beyond it, or I could just waste all my work until this point and become a mortal again. So yeah, I have no choice but to wait." She answered after rolling her eyes.

"That sucks... Not even your followers can do anything to help you?" Alaric asked remembering the conversation with Revisia earlier.

"... I don't have any followers, the most I interact with mortals is telling them to make their new bodies... Actually, can I have followers?...

"Because my function is so basic, I ended up forgetting one of the basics of being a Celestial... Maybe I do deserve to be treated like an idiot by a mortal. This level of idiocy is unacceptable!... Or maybe just maybe... No mortal wants to be my follower!

"Honestly, at this point, I don't know what to tell you, someone wouldn't gain much by becoming my follower anyway. I can't give you powerful items or some powerful blessing. The most I can so give you the unique ability." She went back to being sarcastic, before explaining.

"What does do?" He got curious again.

"It gives you a hard time. Every 10 levels, you get locked and can't level up until you complete a challenge tailored to your level.

"On the only positive side of it, if you manage to complete it, you get various bonuses like more attribute points, and maybe a skill.

"Unfortunately of the mortals who bothered to listen to me, none wanted to make their own lives a lot harder for a few extra attribute points and the possibility of getting another skill. Especially when other Celestials offered much more." She expressed.

[Quest 2#

Cresia's Predicament

Description: The Divine Of Lesser Creation seems to be in a tough spot, and unable to get anyone stupid enough to put themselves in danger for her, basically for nothing... In the short term that is.

Objective: Become Cresia Hârk's follower and make at least 2 great accomplishments in her name.

Rewards: Cresia Hârk's affection +60, Mirth Influence +10, 200 Gold coins

Failure conditions: Alaric's Death, Cresia Hârk's Banishment(Ruined Reputation), Giving Up On Being A Follower Of Cresia Hârk or Failing To Complete The Objective Of The Quest In 3 Years.

[Will you take this quest?]

[Yes] or [No]

(Her domain is creation... Shouldn't she be overpowered?... The system wouldn't offer me mission if it wasn't conducive to my gain... Right?...

(I'm making a big assumption since I haven't really gained much from trusting the system yet... But how bad can it be?... I'm putting my trust in the system and I hope to not regret it.) Alaric came to his own conclusion.

[Quest 2#, has been taken and will be in effect as soon as Master becomes Cresia Hârk's follower, otherwise, it will be considered a rejected quest.]

"I'm willing to become your follower." He declared.

"Of course! Like I said from the moment i saw you. Mortals like you are rare! Just shake my hand. I don't want to have you waiting for too long." She immediately smiled a extended her hand to Alaric.

(Again... This feels like a scam...) He commented in his mind as he shook her hand.

"From this day on, under the gaze of the vast infinity of space, I Cresia Hârk, declare that Alaric Nyx Trexus, became my first and only follower, believer, and apostle candidate.

"May my grace always be with you and remember, you're always creating even with the simplest of thoughts." She spoke similarly to Revisia.

[Master, you have become a follower of Cresia Hârk, The Divinity of Lesser Creation of Mirth, and as such Quest 2# has been successfully accepted and activated. Good luck.]

(I better not regret this...) Alaric commented in his thoughts.

"Thank you... I know I was rude to you, and it's honestly nothing personal. You going out of your way to help me this much, it means a lot." Cresia made clear how she felt.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Anyway, what now?" Alaric questioned as he was more so worried about knowing if he'd actually get to live or stay dead.

"It's time for you to go. Be careful, and don't go dying before you do your part." Cresia warned, before snapping her fingers, which resulted in Alaric disappearing once again.
