1 Chapter 1: Summoned as a harem master.

On an afternoon like any other, seated on a chair next to the window am I Kral Ishtar, looking at the outside instead of paying attention to whatever my teacher is saying.

As someone who sits in the back, I don't have any attention to myself and often get lost in my thoughts and fantasies. That only being possible because of my plus 40 students' big class, which makes it very hard for the teacher to keep up with all of the students.

After what felt like an eternity the lecture was finally over and I could finally go home, it's my last year in high school and soon I'll go to college, the pressure of having to choose a university and knowing what I want for myself has been killing me! The only thing I've ever known I want for sure is a fantasy life with a harem, but that kind of thing doesn't go beyond it, simply a fantasy.

I got up from my seat as the bell rang and walked towards the exit of the classroom.

"Hum... Kral! Can you wait a moment?"

I was unexpectedly called by my teacher, Miss Sherry Lazu, who has relatively good looking for her age but is so strict and cold that not even the horny teenagers lust over her, at least not most. I was part of the prior group.

"Yes, Miss Lazu?"

"I've noticed that lately, you've been losing focus even more often than you used to, so I would like you to be careful and remember that as much as this is your last year and no teacher wants to drag you down, if you don't change that attitude, you'll definitely regret it. Oh, and in case you have problems at home or there's anything that's affecting your performance you can tell me, I'm your homeroom teacher, you can tell me anything." She said with what I assume is supposed to be a sweet tone, but knowing her it's nothing more than a threat saying that I have high chances of failing if I don't get my sh*t together.

This school seems to care a lot about students' marks since it affects their reputation, some teachers being more extreme than others, but none of them actually fail students for this, though they do try to scare us and it often works.

"Miss Lazu, thank you for your advice, I'll keep it in mind. Bye, see you tomorrow." I forced a smile and answered before leaving quickly enough to not have to continue this conversation.

That woman likes to act like she cares when she doesn't even know that I live alone or that my parents already passed away. I can only internally roll my eyes every time she threatens to call my parents if I don't put more effort in.

I walk through the corridors of the school and eventually get out of the school with a soft breeze waiting for me outside while I think about what I'll do with myself in the future.

I'm in a science and technology course but I like art way more and only ended up here because I didn't know what I wanted back then and my school at the time didn't have arts, so I only realized what I wanted when it was already too late, and since I came this far might as well finish it and change from here to Uni, but I also still have this feeling holding me back because I still remember how much my parents wanted me to follow medicine and a part of me wants to do it just to honor their memory.

While I'm lost in my thoughts, I end up in the alley I normally use as a shortcut to my apartment. Some people don't recommend but I've never had anything happen to me here, so I'm not worried but I always get a little nervous with the thought "Something might still happen if I don't pay attention to my surroundings.", I end up looking paranoid since nothing ever happens but that ominous feeling is there every single time.

It's just a normal alley with some trash around, brick walls on each side while relatively tighter than the usual, with pretty bad lighting. The slight sh*t smell and the dirty concrete floor don't bother me anymore at this point and I just pass by all of it.

Once I'm at the end of the alley and felling relieved nothing happened, I look around just one more time, only to see that there's nothing and I'm safe.

I then step forward to continue my way home.

*Crack!!*

Am immense weight falls over my head and before I know it I'm on the ground struggling to move or keep my eyes open, as my vision slowly fades away.

"H- He.... LP...." I try to cry for help but my strength already left and I can't utter a proper word.

I feel some kind of weight on my head and there's some dirt all over and I think some even entered my eyes, but I can't tell and the last thing I see is orange pieces of something shattered as blood covered my eyes and my vision completely faded.

-Fastio Castle-

I opened my eyes and I was feeling dizzy, even nauseated.

It was very dark and my eyes couldn't seem to focus, my breathing was heavy, and I felt very tired and hungry. Everything feels like some sort of fever dream, where nothing makes sense. Was I drugged and kidnapped?

The question came as natural as my heart started hurting.

"Arrergghh..." I felt a strong pain in my head, until I remembered something.

"Wasn't I bleeding from my head?"

Even in my current state, I touched my head and discovered I wasn't wounded in my head, there's not even a scratch. Was it all a dream? But then where am I?

More questions would pop up as I tried to figure out what was going on, until nausea I was feeling overwhelmed me and I vomited all I had in my stomach.

A black substance came out of my mouth and made a medium-sized paddle and I immediately backed away from it, as not only is the smell horrible, as it also looks disgusting.

After that, I was feeling a little better and my senses started to slowly stabilize, so I took the chance to look at my surroundings.

It was a very dark room, with little to no lighting, and looking at the walls it seems to be a circular room but I can't tell because of the bad lighting, and the ceiling is very high as the bit of light that comes in seems to enter from there.

I try to get up and look at the floor finally finding a clue to what's going on here, and I don't know if I like it or not.

"So, that whole be careful with what you wish thing wasn't just another annoying saying? Huh?" I couldn't help but question myself as what I'm seeing seems too crazy to be true.

Below my foot is a circular engraving with various weird symbols and an odd shine to it, and if I wasn't feeling terrible when I woke up I would have noticed, but I still can't believe that this thing below me right now, might actually be a magic circle.

These things are one of the big isekai cliches and appear in like 80 to 90% of them, and they are usually made to summon something or someone. In most basic stories the main characters are summoned with the use of these and get some cheat abilities to defeat some demon lord or something unreasonable like that.

I didn't expect to ever find myself in a situation like this one... Maybe, if this really is an in another world situation, I could finally make my harem!... Wait a second... If I'm in another world, did I die or was I just summoned?.... Whatever the truth of my situations is, I have to find a way out, I can't let my weeb side take over in a moment like this.

Just as I gained focus and decided to look around to try and find an exit, I heard an unexpected sound.

*Creak!*

As a big metal door opened, I was blinded by the sudden increase in light and closed my eyes while I raised my hands to protect my face by reflex.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked through the gaps in between my fingers.

And I saw something I somewhat hoped and didn't really expect would come true, a girl in a dress was walking towards me, but something was off, it wasn't a princess like I expected after all the isekai I read and watched. It was actually a dress that was hard to see in a room like this, a typical black and white maid dress, a normal one not the mini skirt version.

But I can't see much of her, only that's she's wearing a maid dress, and headband or something like that, with what seems to be long hair, but I can't tell her facial features while we're in a room like this. Even so, judging from how things are going, it's likely I've been summoned to another world.

For now, I'll just try to understand what's going on and avoid getting in trouble.

"Greetings O' summoned one, I'm Zelina and I'm a maid here at the Fastio castle. I would like to ask you to follow me and please do not make this harder than it has to be." She said as she bowed to me elegantly with a very calm voice and since I can't see her face very well, I discern her expression, but her eyes have a yellowish and dark look to them that made me feel uncomfortable.

"I will follow you." I answer almost immediately, as I have no idea what will happen to me if I try to rebel.

Her eyes that seems to almost glow in the dark narrowed as I answered but she didn't say anything and just turned around and then said.

"Please follow me."

I do as she said and follow her, and as soon as I get closer to the light, I notice something that I didn't really think of until now... I'm naked! Not only that... I just confirmed one thing, this body I'm in command of right now isn't my body... Or at least what hangs between my legs isn't. When did it grow this much?! And importantly even, why is it up?!

Even I was surprised I didn't notice up until now, but it seems my senses still aren't working at full power, since even while I look at it I can't feel it. Is it gay if I touch it? No, it's attached to me after all. I act out of curiosity and touch it, but I still don't feel it, it's like it's dead even though it looks more alive than ever.

While I was lost in my thoughts trying to understand what was wrong with my 'little brother', I was once again hit with a wave of light and closed my eyes in reflex, then when I opened them, I saw my surroundings and things don't look too good.

Around me and Zelina right now are standing 8 other maids but with a slightly different dress from the one Zelina is wearing, it might mean she's a higher rank than them or lower, but the first option is more likely since the others are bowing as we walk by, but what worries me are the horns in the heads of each one of them, they look like demons... Or are they maybe some kind of beast people, like a catgirl or something....

Also, walking by them naked with my shaft standing tall like this is kinda embarrassing. Especially when all of them are looking at us.

There are two columns of maids girls 4 on each side, like some kind of welcoming ceremony for some important figure. I don't mind it, I just wish I had clothes while it happened.

*low chuckles*

I think I just heard one of them chuckle... I don't know how to feel, considering this is already much bigger than my usual junk.

Contrary to what I thought, once Zelina and I passed by everyone they got up and started following us with the same formation but this time surrounding me, while Zelina walks in the front.

I guess my embarrassment will last longer than I thought.

The trip was very awkward for me and multiple times I felt like they were glancing at me and my stiff partner and at some point, I could almost hear whispers but Zelina told them to shut up immediately.

While I was trying to distract myself from the moment, I noticed that all these women are really tall and muscular. Not muscular enough to be considered buff, but muscular enough for you to know not to fight them, if I had to use a single word to describe it, I would say these women are toned.

Actually, I feel envious of them, even though my body is slim I don't really have much in the muscle department.

Finally, after a long walk, we reached a big door and all the 8 maids besides Zelina moved away while she opened the door.

Inside there was a huge room with big pillars and various decorations, like pairings, vases, sculptures, and so on, with two thrones at the end of the room with a big painting of what seems to be a family of three on it, right behind the thrones on the wall.

The room was full of people or more specifically what I assume are demons and hope are beast people, dressed in fancy clothes with noble like air around them, while there are some armored ones I assume are guards.

"Is this little child going to be the heir?!"

"How could the sacrifices made give such poor results?!?!"

"Don't jump to conclusions, we haven't seen his status yet."

"If this kid isn't worth it, I myself will behead him!"

"Look at the size of his... Despite his small stature..."

"Oh my, will the princess be alight with something that size?"

"Ara Ara, I almost which I could trade places with the princess."

Multiple comments flew right and left, to the point where I started having trouble discerning what to hear. There doesn't seem to be any children here, thankfully or I would crumble to dust.

Zelina stopped as we now stood in front of the thrones and seated on the throne to my right is a young woman with who looks to be about the same age as me.

She has sharp fully dark eyes with a pink iris glowing similarly to how Zelina was, thin eyebrows, with a small soft nose, pointy ears that make me think of elves, rose pink hair that shines with life, a beautiful face that even though intimidating duo to her current monotonous expression still has it's own cuteness, thin lips, very soft looking dark skin, and a fair looking chest, even though it's hard to tell with her armor. She's also wearing Silver plated armor with a blue skirt and armored leggings.

She looks like some kind of warrior princess, a beautiful warrior princess.

Zelina kneeled to her and so did everyone else, and seeing this I did the same since I didn't want to seem rude or rebellious, after all, I'm still trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

"Preposterous!"

"Unbelievable, how can someone who kneels down so easily lead us."

"I was thinking he's kind of cute, but he's actually disgusting."

"I would like to raise opposition to the ascension of such a weak-minded individual to the throne."

"That's it! I'm totally beheading this kid!"

"Not Ara Ara... I'm disappointed."

"He's just looks, no substance."

The comments got worse as even Zelina is looking at me with disgust and even worse is the absolute look of discontent on the face of the young woman sitting on the throne.

How would I know that it's an offense to kneel before the apparent ruler of the place when everyone else is doing it?! My luck is just terrible.

*Clap*

With a single clap of hands, the young silenced everyone in the room and began speaking.

"I understand that everyone is exalted, desperate, sad, angry, depressed, disappointed, or hopeful, but we are in a dire situation right and we don't have the luxury to jump into conclusions duo to our feelings, so, my fellow demons, just how any other candidate to the throne would, this young man will have one year to prepare before the ascension day. You must remember he comes from the sacrifice of many including our great ex-rulers and my beloved parents, so more than any of you I would like to end his life this instant but he's our last hope, and we must do our best to make it work for the good of Fastio! For the GLORY OF FASTIO! FOR THE RISE OF FASTIO and most importantly FOR THE PEOPLE OF FASTIO!! I Claire Lucy Fastio The 5th DEMON QUEEN promise to work even at the cost of my life for a better Fastio!!!!"

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

*Cheer* *Cheer* *Cheer* *Cheer*

The cheers and clapping rose as the atmosphere of the room completely changed because of Claire. While I took this opportunity to stand since kneeling is the wrong answer... It can't get that much worse, can it? Please don't...

Also, she said a lot, this country is apparently called Fastio, and they seem to have sacrificed people to summon me here... Even the ex-rulers, such extreme methods are truly frightening. Also, it seems they really are demons, my new life might end before it gets to start, what terrible luck. The part that scares me the most is that she called me their last hope and I don't like how that sounds.

The fact they want to kill me just because I kneeled is already concerning.

*Clap*

Once again Claire silenced the room with a single clap.

"You, as you heard before I'm Claire Lucy Fastio The 5th Demon Queen of this great Fastio Kingdom, and I'm sure you have doubts, but as you might have guessed from what I said earlier, we made a big sacrifice to bring you here from the land of the dead." Her voice carried rather than the unpleasantness present in her expression, seriousness, and a calm tone.

"Yes, I understand. But I would like to know why." Despite my surprise at the fact that I was dead before coming here, I still preferred to ask about the more pressing matters.

They all seem less hostile now I'm standing and nobody seems bothered by my dong, which is what surprises me the most, is it really ok to meet royalty naked? Wouldn't it have been better to give me clothes before doing this?

"Very simply because all the countries under the Great Gods have summoned heroes from another world to aid them and we are at a great disadvantage, it would not be very long before they decided to get rid of us. So we must nurture our own otherwolder, but as beings that exists outside the influence of the great Gods, we must pay a much greater price to summon an otherworldly being." She sounded somewhat dissatisfied and distant while explaining and I can imagine why.

As someone who read isekai, I can imagine something like that, and I already have an idea of why they summon otherwolders but I have to make sure.

"Why otherwolders? Is there anything special about us?"

"Yes, of course. No country would use its precious resources and in our case make extreme sacrifices if otherworlders weren't innately more powerful. It is theorized that it's because otherwolders have their souls reconstructed and reinforced when they cross this world, being able to immediately gain benefits that would take years to decades of work for someone to normally achieve, things like rare or unique jobs and skills as well as naturally stronger bodies than the normal, not forgetting that they usually get high affinity to magic or even unique magic... So, they are an invaluable asset to have especially at a time like this."

I already had an idea that it would be something like this, but otherwolders really hit the jackpot here.

"What are these Unique skills and jobs you talked about, also this world has magic?" I already have an idea of this but I have to confirm it before I make some dumb mistake and almost die or something like that.

"You will learn of those, but now we must complete your summoning ceremony, before you start dying."

Before I start what?

"Pardon?"

"If we don't properly complete the summoning ceremony you die, because your soul doesn't completely adjust to the new world. Have you not felt weird, dizzy, or vomited? Those and you're overexcited third leg are signs of ineptitude, if you don't wish to you joins us you can simply die in an extremely painful way and float in the limbo forever."

They really set me up huh? It's completely expected that they had something planned considering how much they sacrificed and I would complain if I didn't know that will lead to my second death.

"I'll help and serve Fastio, all I ask for is freedom to adventure and build my harem." I'll agree with helping them at least until I have a better understanding of this world, I know too little to rebel.

"Granted, since it is required that you travel anyway, and as for the harem it's quite common for a Demon King to have many wives and combines, my father was an exception."

"Wait? Did you just say for a Demon King?"

"Yes, we summoned you here to make you into the greatest Demon King of all time. To lead Fastio to glory!"

Oh perfect... It just gets better and better.... Why is my luck so off?!

"Now enough of this, you may ask your questions later. Come here, so that the summoning ceremony may be completed."

I didn't waste more time internally whining and went straight to Claire and once I got close enough, I could see a small blush on her as she got up from the throne and once she was right in front of me she leaned her face in saying.

"A kiss is the last step, also, since you need both our blood, I would like to ask you to bite your tongue now."

A part of me was excited hearing this while the other was just confused about this method, but it's not like what I feel will change this situation, so might as well make the most out of it.

I did as Claire asked and bit myself for blood as she seemed to have done the same on her end, both of us lean in for the kiss.

Heat rose from my stomach to my chest and my heart definitely skipped a beat as Claire's lips were closing in, it had been very long since I was this nervous, as I didn't expect something like this to happen but as it was happening I couldn't contain my virgin heart. The smell filled my nostrils to the point I even forget the crowded room and my predicament.

She was so close. That was it... at that very moment her lips brushed over mine like a wave of warmth and all my body reacted to hers instinctively, it felt like I would be sucked in by her at any instant as my breath was hard to keep and even the taste of the blood was nowhere to be seen, I was completely immersed. My toes curled, my eyes zeroed in on her, her smell even more hypnotic. The taste of her. It silenced my thoughts and made me want more.

[Connection has been formed with a target- "Fake marriage" has been started. Individual Claire Lucy Fastio, the 5th Demon Queen, has reached 10% subordination. 1 possible harem member acquired, 1/5]

I was too distracted to have noticed this message at the time.

*Huff* *Huff*

Both of us were out of breath and now I feel completely different from before, it's as if after I woke up my body and mind were not completely in line, but now I feel like myself for the first time since I woke up.

Not only did my little friend finally rest, but I also noticed that I'm shorter than before I woke up, I just thought demons were tall, but now that my body feels like home again, I'm obviously the short one.

"Now, Zelina bring the status evaluation stone." Claire ordered.

Zelina walked next to me with a spherical stone in her hands and turned towards me.

"Please, put your hand on the stone, it's so we can see your status and what kind of abilities you have."

I got slightly nervous as she said that, but didn't have much of a choice and put my hand on the stone.

And immediately after a floating window popped up.
