Chapter 1The not-so-"Well" encounter

"Use the rain and bow to welcome, even from a distance the door opened for you." Page 34 of Keeping Records 16982. uttered by thin pinkish lips like a raspberry. Her ash mauve eyes scanned the book aside from a single white feather ascending on the center surface of the yellowish cover, it look plain. Her cute button nose smelled the old ink from the book. Yes this girl walking on her way to the oprhanage where ahe volunteered, look like a maniac by sniffing a bound of paper as her coal-ash long wavy hair swayed as she continue to make her way to Hope orphanage.

Lehi Lorelei it sounds like a small riddle isn't it? After the short stop shopping, the young lady arrived to the said orpahnage, it is built like a bungalow in a triangular structure with huge historal tower in the middle with an old bell on top, that is loud enough to be heared by the people within the district. The incarnation garden at the backyard is well taken care of, so is the fountain with a torch like cross enveloped by a infinity symbol. This is my favorite place, Yes this is Lehi Lorelei talking to herself, after being left alone by her friend who is on the clinic right now because a certain friend sprain her ankle and it got swollen.

This part of the orphanage is simply tranquil, my parents used to tell me that this is where they first met and fell in love with each other. That is why it is special to me, I am not expecting the same thing will happen on my romantic area but, okay crossed finger honestly yes, I hope this same thing will happen to me infront of this fountain. I remember the book that I got a while ago, I should start reading it. I am about to flip it open when a drop of something wet land on my left cheek, I look up to check if it's about to rain but fireflies are gathering on top of the fountain and the drop came from this fountain. Suddenly a huge wave consumed me, this is suffocating, I screamed for help but I only heared the tower bell respond to me.

This is beyond hilarious, my white lace long sleeve blouse with emerald linings got soaked that it stick to my skin, my long lavender skirt prevents my feet from moving and most of all this is not what I hope for infront of this fountain, I want something romantic not to get drowned by a fountain in broad daylight. I saw my white sandal float, as i raised my voice and hand for help but again only the loud sounding bell responded.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

There it is the sounding echo of the bell from the other side of the mountain. My name is Ophir Glockenspiel, Yes ladies and gentlemen it sound strange and I won't deny it. My parents name me after a lousy carving from an abandon well where they first met and fell inlove. It sound romantic and sentimental but yeah, I guess it's special. By the way my mother is a story teller, she would cross canals, lakes, valleys, streams and rivers, just to tell stories and you know what? I don't hate it, I honestly love it.

I got amused by how people react about my eyes that seems to be spiral because when your far from me it's color is brown but as you get near it blackens, some commented it's abnormal but most are fascinated. I get giddy whenever they complement my curly black and white hair that shaped my face and emphasized my nose line and jaw line that perfectly highlights my small lips.

Enough about me, right now we are in the middle of a mountain gathering sticks for preparing dinner, because tomorrow we will go down at the foot of this mountain to tell stories. And here it is my mother interrupted my brief monologue and introduction. I was about to head back when a strong gust of wind whispered gently

"Use the bow and rain to welcome even from a distance the door opened for you."

Suddenly my eyes caught a small and old well at my left side. Fireflies are gathering on top of it. My feet moved on their own as I got closer i felt my heart throb in a terrified rhythm. I am scared what if a white lady suddenly pop out from there? I did my best to peek inside and my vision captured something white and black.

My knees shake uncontrollably and then a chill went down my spine because an erie female voice came from within the well. It's confirmed this is the famous horror white lady from the well, I have to run, I steadied my feet and about to run to where my mother is, when my ears caught the echo of sounding bell.

The next thing I know I am screaming like a girl as i descend in the depth of this well.

I kept screaming because there is someone in front of me, A lady with messy long black hair wearing a long sleeve white blouse, I bowed and pleaded to spare me but her cold hand reach out to my mouth and said,

" Shut up, Your being noisy. "

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his womenβ€”free or enslavedβ€”with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.
