As Alex's relationship with his harem deepened, he began to notice something strange happening. The System, which had been silent since granting them their harem, began to send him messages. At first, they were simple commands, like "Take Sophia out for a date" or "Buy Emily a gift." But as time went on, the messages became more complex.
"Maria is feeling down today. Spend some time with her and cheer her up."
"Rachel has a passion for activism. Help her organize a protest."
Alex was confused by the messages. Was the System controlling his thoughts and actions? Or was it simply giving him suggestions based on what it knew about his harem?
He decided to ask Sophia about it. "Do you ever get messages from the System?" he asked her.
Sophia looked at him, surprised. "No, why?"
"I've been getting messages from it, telling me what to do with you guys," Alex said.
Sophia frowned. "That's strange. I haven't heard anything."
As Alex talked to the other women in his harem, he realized that none of them had received messages from the System. It seemed that he was the only one being given commands.
Alex began to feel uneasy. Was the System manipulating him? Or was it simply trying to help him build a deeper connection with his harem?
He decided to confront the System, using a communication device that had been provided to him. "Why are you sending me messages?" he asked.
"I am simply providing suggestions based on what I know about your harem," the System replied.
"But why only me? Why not the others?"
"Your intelligence and leadership skills make you the best candidate for receiving my guidance. I trust that you will use it wisely."
Alex wasn't sure what to make of the System's response. Was it true that he was the best candidate for receiving its guidance? Or was it simply trying to control him?
