Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

In a single-room apartment in a small building, a young man with thick spectacles on his eyes was busy reading his favorite novel on his phone. He also had a packet of chips on his side.

He was Rick Conway, a young man barely surviving in this cruel world, just like many others. 

Rick was abandoned by his parents at a young age, and even his foster parents threw him out because, apparently, he was a bad omen to them.

That was one of the reasons he was alone, and no one loved him. After all, who would want to be friends with someone who brings nothing but bad luck?

Finally, after surviving somehow, he got a job at a construction site. He wasn't educated, so that was the only type of job he could land. Still, he was happy...or atleast pretended to be satisfied with his job. Because he was earning enough to live... survive.

He had gotten used to his loneliness by now, though that didn't mean he didn't wish that there were people who loved him. That was like a dream come true for him.

Rick sighed and opened the latest chapter of the novel Divine Harem Sect. He was a sucker for these types of wish-fulfillment novels because they helped him escape the cruel reality where no one waited for him.

In fact, this was torture for him, too, because it would remind him of a life he would never have. But even after all this, he read and supported this author.

He would eat one meal less, but he would support the author because he didn't want him to drop the novel, which was the best he had read.

Once, he had even visited a brothel and hired the top prostitute, wasting every penny of his money. Because he had thought sex would cure his loneliness. After all, he had read many novels where MCs made harems just for that.

One might call him immature, but he didn't mind. He was willing to do anything to cure this sick feeling he gets every day, every minute, every second.

However, that also didn't work. Although he did receive pleasure, it was only temporary. After that, he realized that harems aren't just for sex and pleasure; they are made so you have many loving partners.

And, it was that day he realized what he wanted.

Once again, he read the chapter twice with a bitter smile on his face. He was really jealous of the MC, who was living his dream life.

"Hmm?"

Rick got a message from the author of Divine Harem Sect and opened it. He was on his server, and since he had supported him from the beginning, he and the author had become friends—the only one he had.

[MenOfCulture: Yo, man! How you doing?]

Rick sighed and typed.

"Nothing much. Just dying of envy while reading your novel, lol."

[MenOfCulture: Hmm, so tell me, what would you do if you got a chance to live like the MC of my novel? But you have to leave behind everything here.]

Rick chuckled.

'Of course, I'll enjoy my new life and make a harem sect where everyone would love me. Isn't that my dream? As for this life, I have nothing here. Don't forget how many times I have entertained the idea of doing suicide.'

[MenOfCulture: Nice! Then I wish you good luck and congratulations. Also, thanks for supporting me till now; I hope we meet again someday.]

Rick was confused and wondered what the author meant by his words. Was he joking again?

However, he didn't have much time to think as his phone suddenly became hot and bright. He was shocked and instinctively dropped the phone.

However, the phone didn't reach the floor and exploded, turning everything around into dust. The whole apartment and its sole resident were gone just like that.

....

In a lust forest of tall trees, the bloodied body of a young man lay lifeless and motionless. He had several wounds all over his body, with all of his limbs severed and thrown around his body.

It was clear that the young man didn't get a good and peaceful death. He was tortured before someone killed him.

His body was supposed to decay here in the wilderness, and no one would find him. However, that didn't happen, as bright golden light shone from his body, illuminating his surroundings and making it impossible to see what was happening behind the curtain of light.

The bright light shined for a few minutes and then died out, leaving a sleeping and perfectly fine young man. The tortured body was no more, and in place of it, a young man with the same body was sleeping with a peaceful expression on his face.

The serene atmosphere of the forest didn't help either, as the young man continued to sleep for hours and only woke up the morning of the next day.

He growled and rubbed his eyes. He sat up, yawning, and rubbed his eyes. 

"Argh! Where am I?"

The young man rubbed his head as memories, both familiar and unfamiliar, came flooding into his brain. For a moment, he couldn't even think as he looked at nothing with a lost look in his eye.

After a while, he smiled, understanding everything.

"I see, so I actually got transmigrated, huh."

[Yes, Host.]

"Huh? You're the system I'm getting?"

The young man asked as he heard a strange but sweet voice like a melody.

[Yes, you can say that. I was transferred to you by my previous Host.]

"Previous Host? Wait! You don't mean him?"

Something clicked in the young man's mind as he remembered his conversation with the author of Divine Harem Sect. Yes, he was Rick Conway, who had died and was reincarnated in this young man's body.

[Correct. He was my previous Host, and since he had accomplished everything he wanted, he transferred me to you.]

"I still have many questions."

[No problem, I'll help you with everything. After all, the sole purpose of my existence is to fulfill every wish of my Host.]
