Chapter 1Summoning

Sometimes I wonder if I should be thankful. Sometimes I wonder if I'm secretly in hell, atoning for some grave sin I've done. I've already done so much, what more can you ask from me? I'm starting to lose hope and I've long forgotten the reason I am fighting. Whatever is happening, I'm just so tired. When will this end?

.

.

.

Oh god... what just happened. There was a violent spinning, yet everything felt as though it were empty, in complete darkness. Once this sensation stopped there was a light whip on my head, it was as if somebody sent a slap straight through me. Coming to, my eyes were blinded by the sunlight.

My mind felt dizzy and befuddled, my hands tried to cover my eyes, but I had no spatial recognition so my limbs ended up flailing aimlessly. There was someone that cleared their throat, my eyes adjusted to the light, making me realize my body was on cold marble ground.

As my vision cleared, it was met with a stunning woman. She had glamorous blond hair and a white suit that was studded with various expensive-looking gems. She was looking at me strangely.

"Um, why are you here?"

My mind sobered up and took in my surroundings. It seemed to be a rather luxurious hall, next to the blonde-haired lady was another woman. She seemed a bit coquettish and was in a fairly frilly maid outfit. She leaned over to the blonde-haired lady and whispered by covering her mouth, though my ears could still pick it up fairly clearly.

"Miss, I think the summon went funky."

To my left, there was a grand platform. It had a few dazed people that standing there in modern clothes, like the ones on me. There was a guy and two girls, they were wearing casual clothes. After a few blinks, he was looking at me curiously, which was a bit embarrassing given my strange position. He seemed quite concerned.

"Are you ok?"

As he said that, the two pretty girls were looking at me as if my existence was a joke, though I couldn't blame them for that. It felt strange to be surrounded by various pretty girls yet only feel welcomed by this random guy. If this was a game his charm would probably be max.

After standing up my face turned to the blond-haired girl, she was whispering with the woman beside her and then turned back to face us.

"Alright, I would like to welcome everyone here, I understand you are confused about what is happening right now, but I hope you realize this is not a dream."

The boy on the platform was quick to respond, he seems to adapt quickly.

"Were we summoned to another world? Will we have to fight the Demon King?"

The blonde-haired girl looked at him with a neutral look as he asked.

"Yes and no. You were summoned but there is no need to fight the Demon King, regardless, I will go into more depth later. We should introduce ourselves, I am known as Ela of the house Enberos."

Wait, what?... Why were we summoned then? The maid perked up and had a friendly smile.

"My name is Mildred Aryana, may I know your names?"

The guy on the platform was a bit flustered, but he quickly straightened up and replied.

"Hi, my name is Ned."

The two girls had black hair, one was a bit taller than the other and they seemed quite close.

"My... my name is Alyx"

"Um, um..."

The smaller girl was nervous, avoiding eye contact, and held Alyx's hand tightly, Alyx spoke up for her.

"She is my friend, Erin."

Everybody turned to look at me. Seeing my lack of a response, Ned spoke up.

"What's your name?"

My name? Ah, that's simple it's… what was it again? I...

"I don't know."

Ned seemed a bit confused and was at a loss for how he could salvage this awkward situation.

"You... don't remember your name?..."

The corner of Ned's lips twitched.

"How about we just call you Jay?"

Ah, well a name does seem necessary.

"Alright, please call me Jay."

It seemed most people did not care about me, while Ela seemed a bit irked from my actions, but she moved on.

"Follow me, everyone, we will have a banquet and you may ask me about your concerns."

Ela left and Mildred followed behind her after winking at us.

Ned, Alyx, and Erin came off the grandiose platform and walked down the steps. After they got off, my steps hurried on behind them. My lungs forced in a deep breath, the air was particularly refreshing and even slightly sweet to breathe in. As we were led down a hall that had a nice red carpet, Ela started to explain the situation to us.

"Firstly, the Demon King was dealt with by a hero 3 centuries ago and in the end, the hero was able to set up a peace treaty among the demons and so today we coexist with them."

The world... is at peace? Ned said what was on my mind.

"So... why were we summoned?"

Ela opened her mouth, but Mildred energetically piped up first.

"It is because every decade we have a celebration in the honor of the hero that saved humankind."

Erin had tugged the sleeve of Alyx, Alyx promptly crouched down next to her. Erin whispered something to her. After which, Alyx asked Mildred a question.

"So after the celebration, we will go back to our own world? How long will this celebration be? I hope we can limit it to a few days, we have things we need to do back in the real world after all."

Mildred looked back with an awkward smile on her face.

"Well... you will be here for a year."

She quickly followed up seeing most of our jaws drop.

"Don't worry, not much time in your world should pass, at most a few hours. This is the best we can do since the summoning circle needs at least a year to be ready to send you back. In reality, the actual celebration will be in your last month, for the first eleven months we will accommodate you, providing you with what you need to live comfortably."

Alyx let out a sigh of relief and expressed her appreciation.

"Thank you, it seems like we will be in your care."

Ah, well that seems to be more reasonable.

Upon pondering it a question formed in my mind. Although I've heard of stories of heroes and such, if you think about it realistically humans are naturally weak creatures that were never made for combat in the first place.

"Say, how did the first hero defeat the Demon King?"

Ela proudly spoke of her knowledge in history.

"As all summons do, they inherited natural powers contained within the place from which they were summoned that allowed them to naturally manifest upon being summoned. The first hero had powers that allowed her to create objects out of thin air. It is known that she gave a gift that convinced the Demon King to step down and make peace."

Wow, sounds like the hero did something legendary.

Wait, more importantly... doesn't that mean we all have powers?

"Does this apply to us as well? How do we know what powers we get?"

Ela hesitated to respond.

"Theoretically yes, however, something went wrong with the summon so I cannot assure you. For the summon only one person should have been summoned, that person is sir Ned."

Wait... how did she know it was supposed to be Ned?

Ned was surprised, he patted his chest.

"I suppose I am lucky then, it sounds quite lonely to be the only person in a new world. There wouldn't be anybody that could understand what you were going through or how much you missed life from your original world."

Ela was silent, but we had soon arrived at a hall that looked quite extravagant and had a long table with a wide variety of foods like bread, cheese, cabbages, and many different foods that were unrecognizable. Mildred gestured towards us.

"Please take a seat."

There were five total seats, four along the long sides and one at the far end. Hmm... there are six people so someone will have to stand. Normally with one summon, there should've been plenty of food and seats. Ela realized this as she told Mildred to stand beside her after she took the seat at the far end. Mildred was a little unhappy but was understanding.

After my hand used the fork to put some food in my mouth, it gradually kept going faster and faster. My hand suddenly froze, the other three were not really eating.

Sweat started to form on my forehead.

Were they not eating because of me?

Ela furrowed her brows.

"Is the food not to your liking?"

Ned spoke up on behalf of us.

"Well, we are used to foods that have various seasonings, oils, and spices."

Ela raised an eyebrow.

"These were all finely made with salt and pepper. What is lacking?"

Ned shook his head.

"It's not that these foods are poorly made, they are great but we are used to eating other things. I can recognize these foods are from what we would call the Asian parts of our world, however, we are not used to eating these types of foods."

Ela nodded.

"I see, apologies for the poor service, what do you prefer out of these foods?"

Ned pointed his hand at various foods.

"Personally, I am fine with eating the bread, cheese, vegetables, and ham."

Ned then looked at me and the two girls.

"What about you guys?"

Alyx just dismissively responded.

"Same as Ned."

Alyx nodded after she had said that. To me all the foods were fine but for whatever reason, my mouth could not form those words.

"Uh yeah, same as everyone else."

Mildred raised her hand and brought attention to herself.

"I will see to it so your meals are properly taken care of."

Ned stood up from the table and bowed.

"Thank you, Mildred."

Mildred blushed just a bit.

"It is simply what I am obligated to do."

We were taken outside, the sky was a bright blue and the sun was shining softly. The air was clear and refreshing. Perhaps the village filled with nature was what caused it. There was a cobblestone road and a decently big carriage waiting for us. Ela got into the carriage and turned to us.

"We will take this carriage to my palace, where you will be living from this point forth."

Mildred came on the carriage after the rest of us got on. The inside had nice seats that were cushioned with red velvet pillows. Ela motioned to the carriage driver and we started to move. Mildred clapped lightly to bring attention towards herself.

"When we get to the Enberoes palace, you can do what you wish outside. Please, make sure to get back before nightfall and cause little trouble."

We nodded and expressed our thanks.

My eyes drifted outside the carriage and there was a breeze that went past my face.

It seemed like it was going to be quite a relaxing time, a world in peace, free food, and being able to live free of charge in a palace!

Demons terrorized the world ever since the Gehenna Realm descended over 300 years ago. but along with them, came mana, giving birth to witches to combat these demons. Since then, the world of men was dominated by witches, establishing the seven witch kingdoms, which safeguards at the forefront of the demon invasion. In order to survive in the matriarchal society of the witch kingdoms, Vaan, like all other men who cannot use magic, had to learn how to service the witches to survive. Nevertheless, it did not come without its own benefits. Years of research have led the world to the discovery of intimacy between men and women could increase the witches' mana absorption. But at the same time, men could absorb some of this mana to improve their physique and lifespan. Thus, since then, an intricate relationship was formed between men and witches in the red-light districts. Love became casual, and dual cultivation is common. As a prodigy in the art of pleasing women, Vaan lived a smooth two years since his transmigration as an orphan. However, everything came crashing down in a heartbeat one day when his life was nearly taken, and Lady Eniwse whom he served went berserk. Even so, that was not the end. With the awakening of the Witch Hunter System, watch how Vaan takes on the world and becomes the lord of witches. ===== Genre: [Mature Content] [R-18] [Smut] [Magic] [Witches] [Demons] [Spirits] [Dragons] [Beasts] [Reincarnation] [Adventure] [Action] [Mystery] [Academy] [Weak-to-Strong] [Scheming MC] [Harem] [System] [Servants] [Slaves] [Smart MC] [Alchemy] [Forging] [Misunderstandings] [Game Elements] [Kingdom-Building] [Overpowered MC] ===== Note: Contains lemons.

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 women—free or enslaved—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!

TL;DR : This book has a unique setting and sticks with it, which makes me interested in other unique worlds. The world feels alive and full. The main character grows a lot, and the book allows room for the mc to grow even more. The elements of the book are balanced and everything has a nice flow to it so that you can read at a comfortable pace if you so choose, or binge read if you get hooked. After having caught up to the story at ch 74, I can definitely say I am in love with this novel. The pacing, character development, character interactions, and world setting are all fantastic. The story is set in a snowy environment, something the author commits to, and something I have never seen before. Some may say I haven’t read enough, but this is truly something I didn’t know I needed, much less wanted. Usually, I would think a snowy world would be bland and dreary, not much life or uniqueness, but the author gives this story a lot of life. The mc has no memories of himself or anything else and is trapped in a repeating cycle of death and rebirth, similar to a rouge-lite. Just like a player exploring a new game on hardcore, the only thing the mc keeps are his memories of the previous “run” and he tries to survive on his search for an answer. He may be clueless in the sense that he is naive, but he definitely isn’t dumb. He learns from his actions, and he grows from his experiences as he learns more about the world. You adventure into the world just like him and see him try to make the best of himself. The mc seems like a real person through all of this, he faces problems, sometimes trying to fight, sometimes running away, but you always get to know what he’s thinking and why he does what he does. He cries, he feels pain, he feels weak, but what I love most of all, and what I wish I could feel more of, is he has an overwhelming determination to get through everything. He always gets back up to keep fighting and living. I love how this no sense of plot armor, at leasts compared to many of the novels on this site, and the only “plot armor” I would say he has is his ability to restart. He shows determination and grit and never takes the easy way out just so he can start all over from the beginning. He trudges through the snow, trying to figure out where he stands in the world, befriending people where he can, and always trying to be nice. He isn’t a ruthless protagonist, nor is he cunning, he just keeps moving forward doing what he thinks is right. I am in love with his character, the world, and every other character that gets intorduced. Each character has a purpose, whether to make the world feel more full or to help the mc grow. There is no defined strongest so far in the book, no cultivation or any other tropes that always say “you killed the biggest guy? Well there will be a bigger guy hidden in the shadows that you didn’t even know about.” The world, for what it is, is very realistic, and so are the characters. No young masters or families one must not upset, only people trying to survive. Overall, after a long review many might not read, this book made me feel something special. The balance of every aspect of this book is so good, its almost unbelievable, and I for one can’t believe how the author manages to do it. The author doesn’t force anything and the story takes a natural flow. I can’t imagine how hard ot must be to write a book this solid, nor can I wait to read more from this book and see what else is in store (no pressure on the author).

TL;DR : A great book that might not be fast paced, but definitely isn’t slow paced. A lot of focus on character interaction and growth with a by no means a small amount of action in there. I think the author balances many of the elements really well, which gives it a very refreshing feel. I’m on ch 19 and i have to say, this novel as got me excited. It’s not fast paced, and when i originally heard that, I wasn’t expecting much, but after reading how in depth some of the conversations go and how real the main character seems, I was blown away. Tbh, some things don’t make sense to me, I don’t know if it’s just me or it wasn’t explained well enough, but after enough re-reading, I always ended up getting it, but i had to think about it. Some of the stuff in here isn’t a “skim your way through and you’ll get the gist of it” especially in regards to magic, at least for me. However, visualizing everything is incredible. The author is very descriptive when it comes to the surroundings of the MC and makes you feel like you could be right next to him. If there was something I could say to the author, it would be that I’m not sure how the MC learns so fast, whether it be magical skills or physical skills. From what I have read so far, 19 chapters, he seems like he got the short end of the stick in just about everything, so I don’t know if he has great intelligence or if it is explained in later chapters, but I’m loving the novel so far. Honestly, this novel is awesome and I would totally recommend this to anyone who is interested in a bard’s tale. I’ve been seeing some similarities being drawn in video game novels where multiplayer games are more for players who are all about being the best or like fast paced stuff, while people who play offline games are about the story and taking their time. I wouldn’t say this is a slow paced novel, it knows when to focus on things and slow down, and when to speed up.
