Man, talking about a shitty day to die. One minute, Zack was sprinting on the rain back to earth, heart was pounding as he was saving a child out of the way of the truck. Tires screech, lights go off, Then wham– game over,
yes, Game over.
Glitches were all over his eyes. It wasn't just a blur, it was like his own vision was broken.
Next thing he knows, he's blinking awake in a body that isn't his, while he is stuck at the table surrounded by a bunch of slick robed pricks who look at him like he's dog crap on their shoes, but really they are the idiot ones.
This ain't no dream. This is a full on, fucking nightmare,
The banquet hall was insane as fuck, Like something out those fantasy games he used to grind instead of studying.
Golden chandeliers were hanging above, crystals that flickered with light, the color blue on the wall, statues, dragon twisting, and why were there warriors here?, they were all in a line somehow. This let me feel like a temple and palace had a baby.
The table was filled with food that smelled like heaven, roasted chicken, they had juice and full meals. Fruits,soup with a weird spicy smell.
Zack was confused, where was he?, he thought. His noise was twitching, but he doesn't trust himself to eat anything at all.
He looked at the flyer on one of the tables, where he saw a picture of himself. Apparently he is in the body of a guy named Zack electro– same name, weirdly, the third son of some washed-up noble family in this place called the Waveflame kingdom.
The guy is eighteen, lanky, and pale like a ghost. With dark hair behind his eyes, which let him look like an emo. Zack pushes it back, feeling like he is wearing a custom that doesn't fit.
Memories, he saw many memories of that dude's life hit him really hard. Low-mortal tier cultivator. This is the bottom level, where people suck in qi magic energy or whatever to get strong. But that won't happen any time soon if this world is on the bottom tier.
Zack is bad at it. Always have been. The electro group? It was big, but is now a flop, now it's just a complete joke, they have not a long time anymore, to hold onto their fancy estate.
He looked across the table and scanned it. [SCANNING PROCESS] [SCANNING PROCESS] [TARGET FOUND NAME COUSIN MAX].
His cousin Max was smirking, his clothes were blue robes, with silver threads.''Alex men.'' he says in a smooth soft voice. ''You slept for a long time… let me guess you're still stuck at low mortal? huh, weakling. Don't worry maybe you get there, in a thousand year.''
He winked, and the table laughed. Kai knuckles go white while taking his spoon. Back on Earth. He was 21, a useless gamer who grinded every day. Worlds that felt eternity, and the classic late night raids. Staying up until 4 am so he gets everything he wants. Trash talking with his guild and friends.
But the child? He saved the child on instinct. He didn't think twice before saving the child. Now he is here in a weird body that isn't his, and the family punchbag. He looked around the room and scanned a person, [SCANNING PROCESS ACTIVATED] [SCANNING PROCESS] [TARGET FOUNDED FATHER NAME KING ELECTRO],
His dad, King Electro, sourfaced, didn't even look at him, He just sipped his wine.
His brothers, Mark and Liam were annoying him. '' Zack Zack is on low will never go on the top Zack Zack is so low he will never get on top.'' They sang.
The room laugh got louder, everyone pointing at Zack. Zack's face burned a shameless shade of red. Then his dad stands up. Rising a jade cup. To our future he shouted drunkenly.
''Zack will marry Brother Zhi's daughter. In three days, it's a necessary union.
Liam leans in and whispers, ''cousin she is perfect for you. well yeah she is a 10 and you are five but who cares about numbers?.''
Zack breaks his spoon. He stands up and walks away from his idiot brothers.
''Need air.'' he lied while storming out. The halls are light, the floors were cracked like the family pride.
He saw a garden overgrown, plants everywhere, and a fountain which spilled water. He thought about his day today. It was a shitty day, how could his family do that to him?.
He flopped on the bench and rubbed his face ''alright universe you got me in this fucked up world, you better give me something.A system, A cheat code anything.
Ding. A voice in his head said. Zack stood still and a blue panel popped up, flying really high as golden letters were big in the air. [Congratulations Zack Electro SSS Harem system activated!.]
''No fucking way,''. ''How am I- how i thought all my life i was a weak useless boy.''
Ding. '' You still are a weak useless boy, don't get your hopes up.''
He rolled his eyes and read fast. Objective: To get more power you need to bond with Talented, beautiful women. Grant skills, boosts, rewards. Rule: Your feelings gotta be real no fake feelings, no fake i love you, once you screw this rule over. There are punishments. Don't play these ladies.
Zack grinned ''Harem system me? tsk if ever a girl will love me, I could barely get girls back home. But damn, I might have a chance this time. Starters packet gift: star flame breathing technique. SSS RANK
Zack was confused. How is that gonna work? [activate qi to level up fast and fight better.]
He mentally said yes, but who said he is mentally stable?. He tries sitting while legs crossed.
Inhale he felt like it was fire in his throat. Exhale it pushed through. His body feels weird– not the good way but also not the bad way.
''Alright, I am not trash anymore.''
the voice in his head said [detect lie detect lie]
Game on.
