On earth there was a young man who had an average life all things considered, his family wasn't rich, but they had enough to live well, he would sometimes get what he wanted, though not most of the time, and he had some friends, though not many.
One of these friends was Sasha, a girl he had known since they were kids, someone with whom he had a deep friendship.
If there was anything particular about him, it was the fact that he loved fictional stories to death, everyday, he would read, and or watch something new or continue something he started, from original works to fanfic, he didn't particularly discriminate, from slop to masterpiece, he always found at least one thing to enjoy about everyone of them, even the ones he hated.
Well that, and his hangout spot with Sasha was an abandoned convenience store building room, which they remodeled into a home base, since nobody did anything with it in years.
In there, a couch, two sofas, an old TV, a basic old console set up, and a repurposed mini fridge connected through an extension to the still functioning building next door. That combined with the multiple posters on the walls, made it feel oddly lived in.
As he went about a normal day in his life in home base, Sasha came to him with a wide smile, crawling in through the tunnel they used as a secret passage with a slight blush on her face, her eyes almost hiding behind her glasses as she avoided direct eye contact.
She was a 165cm tall young woman with black hair styled in ponytails, wearing a blue long sleeved sailor type crop top with a red lace tie, a black short skirt, with white thigh-highs socks, and brown loafer shoes.
Her hands behind her back as she approached.
"OC… Can… I… I… It's just I to… Huh…" She stuttered and squirmed as she words tripped themselves in her tongue, tying it up in a knot she didn't know how to break.
"Hahaha! Cat got your tongue? I haven't seen you this version since you had to present your Bot in that robotics International competition. Makes a general science guy like me feel inadequate, for real." He smirked at her, and sighed thinking about it, his right hand rubbing the back of his head.
"Hmph! Let me say it!… Plus, you're super smart, not everyone gets to enter our college with a full scholarship. You're only 19, and already in your masters, don't sell yourself short!" She frowned as the blush weakened, and her focus diverted to his words, her hands staying behind her back as she leaned in to say each word up close.
"Gee! I get it! No need to press me. You're 18, younger, yet you're in a robotics Ph.D. course already. A real prodigy, not a fake genius like me who failed pure mathematics, and ran away to general science when offered a spot in quantum physics or physical engineering. I'm just not that smart." He weakly chuckled as he shook his head, lightly shrugging his shoulders while his feet took some subconscious steps back to rebuild a safe distance.
"So what if your changed course? You're top of the class, and I'm sure you could do it if you tried. Remember who told me to go to programming and robotics when everyone was saying that's a guy thing, and I wouldn't be suited? You pushed me here, you used your wish paper for my dreams. So don't dare talk badly about yourself!" She got closer again, slowly cornering him against a wall of their empty home base.
"Sure, you got me. I won't say negative stuff anymore. You can say what you were thinking, hehehe." He lifted both hands in surrender, sounding almost tired of her persistence, yet the smile never left his face.
"Ah! Y-Yeah! That… I huh…This…" Sasha's face reddened up again, before going through multiple expressions, almost as I unsure of what to feel, or say at all.
"Hey, relax. Whatever it is, you know I got you. Like always." He hugged with a wide smile, then lifted her into being twirled around a few times before putting her down, then bopping her nose with his new free hand.
"Eeeeeehhhhh! Put me down! OC! OC! OC! Hehehehe! DOWN!" She yelled right before she was put down, then shuddered once he bopped her nose.
Her face was crimson as she took a deep breath breaths, her hands staying behind her back hidden the entire time.
"Hahaha! Sorry, didn't mean to scare you, thought it would ease you up a little… my bad." He smiled weakly with a slight blush as he avoided eye contact after that reaction.
"Well… I didn't hate it… Whatever! I will do it!" Sasha shook her head, then took very big breath, before. "Here! I LIKE YOU, OC!…" She yelled at him, as she finally revealed her right hand, keeping her left hand behind her as the shown hand carried a letter.
There was a moment of silence where they could only look at each other before they both turned away, they have known each other for ages, of course, there had been some tension, but this was new, a step towards something else.
"You… I… Sasha…" His eyes softened as the words now escaped him, not just tying his tongue but quickly sealing his mouth.
There was so much he wanted to say, so much he could say, yet, how would he do it? Would it sound right? What if he hurt her? Said the wrong thing? Even a small corner of his mind he wants to ignore whispered, what if it isn't real? It could all just be a test.
So much happened inside, while outwardly nothing at all.
"It's my love letter… I wrote it on the wish paper… It's silly, maybe even selfish, but I don't know. I guess I'm scared you'll say no, scared to break us." Sasha's eyes grow sober, as tears begin to well up, the overwhelming emotions saturating her senses beyond what she can help.
The wish paper, a paper each of them had one of, it was their jointly decided supreme degree, if you write something in the wish paper the other has to make it come true, each only had one.
"No, no! I would never, Sasha, I like you to-" He took a step to get closer to her, to hold her in his arms more as he accepted their new path forward to explore and discover something new, together.
However, fate had other plans.
Crueler plans.
Before he could reach her, Sasha reached him, her left hand coming to the front to reveal a knife.
Cold steel now lodged in his chest, he could feel it warm up into a burning frenzy while his white shirt was slowly overtaken by the red, the dripping liquid thicker than water was spreading and he froze, unable to process what just happened.
Cough! Cough!
Following the chest, his mouth let it out too, before he could react further, she pushed him to the ground then…
Stab…
Stab….
Stab…..
The blade plunged into him time and time again, piercing, and tearing his flesh, without mercy or a second thought, it doesn't even have time to be painful before it becomes deadly.
Glushing red splashed as it covered both victim and perpetrator, staining them in the moment, one he could not progress, one he could not fathom, how could he accept such a reality?
Yet it didn't stop.
Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab! Stab!
"You had to be mine! mine, and mine alone, yet you hesitated! You were thinking of some whore, weren't you? But don't worry, we'll try again, in another life, I'll make you mine for good. You'll start blank, and good, pure… I learned a ritual, I won't let you be tainted anymore. Never again, now sleep, nice and easy. It's over." Sasha caressed his face with a warm smile, the bloody knife pressed against her face as she thought of the possibilities.
__________________________________________
At the same time, his mind was a mess.
'She stabbed me… Multiple times, I was stabbed… Is it because she regretted liking me? Am I that unlovable? I wish I was the perfect guy instead of an average schmuck, I bet I would have not been stabbed if I were not such a mess. All the girls would love me, be nicer…' He could not move his mind was scrabbling, as nothing made sense.
[Request acknowledged. Acquiring a perfect male body for female mate acquisition…]
A voice began to ring in his head, mechanical and feminine as his vision blurred.
[Success!]
'Success? Mess? What's going on even?… Whatever! If I had the perfect body, I would get all the girls, have a massive harem, no stops or hesitation.' Thoughts overlapped and he lost sense of what was his mind, in such a state, primal instinctual wishes reigned.

"I will find you again, then we'll be together fore-" Sasha's voice faded away for good, as everyone came to a halt, even the voice of the world.
In the immense darkness of the void between worlds, folds began to appear as the endless emptiness trembled making way for something far greater.
Standing as a humanoid figure with its body obscured from head to toes in a dark cloak, a distorted idea of a human, far too tall, and moving in ways that should not be possible.
{OC, child. Finally, the time has come. These boons I have allowed you, will be necessary. You will find a clear answer in time, just know that the fate of the Omniverse, Totality, every verse, every timeline, every space-time continuum, every universe, every multiverse, and every reality, hangs in the balance. I made you for a reason, the time to fulfill your part has come. What you do in between matters not to me, collect as many fiction cores as you can. One for each verse. That's your job, fail three worlds in a row, and it's over. To die, it most be your soul, if your soul dies, there won't be a next verse. It's over. I have interfered enough, this is my last gift to you, do not fail.}
Those words rippled through the void, as the figure behind the curtains left, the nothingness to rest, once more it's natural state, to consume and corrode.
The voice of the world itself let out a breath, as a new notification appeared.
-Fictional Supremacy Harem System has been assigned to host 'OC'-
It was not the voice of the world, something else, had announced it.
[Notice: Due to an unknown element $@$@$)€£¥€?!… Error…. Reboot complete. Unique Skill: Harem has evolved into Unique Skill: Harem System.]
[Notice: Continuing reincarnation process...]
[Complete]
The empty darkness of the void swallowed itself with him in it, folding into nothing.
At the end, there was light.
__________________________________________
In what felt like a reset after a bad bug, he opened his eyes, only to be met with intense light, forcing him to close them again.
The feeling of the grassblades under him, the warmth of the sun, the soft breeze carrying the scent of dirt, all those factors told him one thing, in some way, he was alive.
Slowly but surely his eyes opened again to be met with long wild purple hair, on a much taller body, as he got up to look around, not too bad, as his physical body was toned and well defined even if not overly muscular, he was clearly powerful. All over his body there were markings like tattoos of some kind.

'Holy overpowered!…' He widened his eyes as he looked at the start of something great for him, and for so much more than he could ever imagine.
