The Reluctant Hero of the Flirt Dungeon
Ren Varga dies in the most embarrassing way, and wakes up in Lustra. A city where flirting is literal magic, and everyone needs a flirting license to exist safely.
He gets labeled a Reluctant Harem Hero. Meaning fate keeps throwing beautiful, shameless girls at him for plot reasons. But his power is the worst kind of power. He levels up only when he resists temptation, and if he gives in without the consent ritual, he gets a brutal debuff that ruins him.
On day one, he gets dragged into the Flirting License Office by Dame Elise von Hartmann, a strict paladin who acts cold and righteous, but keeps blushing every time she gets too close. The clerk, Yuki Tanaka, is basically a walking trap. She teases him like it’s her job, because it is her job.
Ren survives the practical test by refusing like a “good boy,” but the paperwork backstabs him. It forces Elise to be his chaperone for 30 days, because he is too teaseable, and too dangerous in public.
Now he is stuck with a paladin who should not want him, but does. A city that wants him to slip. And a system that rewards him for suffering.
It’s horny and goofy, but it hits. Because Ren isn’t just running from girls, he’s running from being seen. And when someone says his name like it matters, he almost breaks.
