Step 1: Inherit a creepy old mansion.
Step 2: Unlock a cursed system that makes girls fall dangerously in love with you… just by saying “hi.”
Step 3: Learn that if you don’t reject them within 10 texts, something terrible happens.

My name’s Ren.
And apparently, I’m the “Catalyst for Affection-Based Catastrophes.”
(Yeah. That’s literally what it said.)

My peaceful new life? Over.
Now I’m stuck in a house full of magically unstable girls:

A sword-swinging elf.

A fire mage with zero personal boundaries.

A strict class rep who faints if I so much as look at her.

And a witch who cursed the bathroom mirror to spy on me.


They’re beautiful.
They’re powerful.
They’re dangerously obsessed.
And if I mess this up, someone’s going to get hurt—maybe me.

Reject them too late? Game over.
Fall for one of them? Even worse.

This isn’t a dating sim.
It’s survival of the cutest.

Welcome to my life. It's not just a harem. It's a hostage situation.

⚠️ Emotional balance remains critically unstable.


🧾 New System Directive: Bond Restoration Protocol


Due to the unintended emotional spike caused by [Sora's Sleep Proximity Event], other members now require compensatory intimacy to stabilize harem balance.


🎯 Mission Issued: Equalized Affection Rounds


Engage each bonded member in one (1) night of uninterrupted proximity to re-establish emotional sync.


Details vary by member, and may include personalized mini-objectives.


I stared at the glowing set of new objectives like they were written in a foreign language. The System had officially lost it.


"You've got to be kidding me..." I muttered.


Sora, still comfortably lounging in my oversized hoodie, tilted her head innocently. "What?" she said sweetly. "I was cold. And lonely. And his bed's huge."
