Chapter 2 - A Scam.

Darius woke up feeling the cold wind caressing his butt. Annoyed, he covered his exposed butt and closed his eyes again.

However, that cold wind sneaked into the covers and harassed his butt again. He frowned, flopping around to close those gaps. It got warm again. His consciousness was slowly embracing the sleep.

"Fuck!" He cussed like a vampire, "My eyes."

A ray of sunlight hit his face this time. He glared at the window, "Why is the window open!?"

He strode towards the window, slamming them shut and drawing the curtains. Back on the bed, he tried to sleep. Again.

Suddenly, something clicked in him. There was something wrong. Very wrong. Very very wrogn.

He rushed to the window, opening it; expecting to see buildings and vehicles. Unfortunately, all he saw was a vast expanse of dry land and a tree line on the horizon.

The sun had just risen. The sky was orange and red with some yellow, the shine was brightening. It was a mixture of cold and warm.

He could not remember the last time he saw a sunrise. It was breathtaking.

Amidst the appreciation, a question emerged, "Where am I?"

He looked at the window sill, "This is not my window."

"These are not my curtains." The floor creaked under him, "I don't remember having a wooden floor."

"Not my roof too."

"Where am I!?" He shouted.

The room was dilapidated, not been repaired in years. He approached the only door in the room.

There was a small hallway, and another door right across him. A small drawer table on his right with a vase on it. Behind the table a round window.

On his left, a few steps away were the stairs leading below. He descended.

This entire floor only had a kitchen, a dining table, and a few wooden chairs facing the fireplace.

There was no one here. However, he did not think the house was abandoned as there were remains of fire in the fireplace.

On the table, there was a book. When his eyes landed on it, there was a strange attraction towards it. He followed that feeling instinctively.

The book was white. Untainted. Leather hardcover. Nothing was written on the cover. It seemed to call him, not through words but something spiritual.

His eyes; dazed, pinpoint focus on the book. His hand slowly approached it, as soon as he touched it. The book was dismantled in glowing particles and absorbed into him.

He flinched at the sudden reaction, quickly analyzing his body. Finding nothing weird except his lighter skin tone. He heaved in relief.

His day could not get any weirder. And as if to prove him wrong, before him was something totally out of fantasy.

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/No]

There it was floating, a panel, slightly translucent, asking him the most cliche line ever in recent years.

And like every protagonist, he was excited-- is that disgust on his face?

Anyways, like every other protagonist he chose--

"No."

What!?

Must be a mistake he made in "excitement".

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/No]

This time, he was a bit calm and made the correct choice of--

"No."

What!?

Mistakes can happen twice, mistakes should be forgiven so that people can learn from them.

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/No]

Darius, a smart man, had made many mistakes in his life and every time he learned from them and became a better person. As such he made the correct--

"No."

Why!?

[Why!?]

"What, why? I don't want this system, that's why." He shouted.

[Why!?]

"I just don't want this system."

[Yes. But, why!?]

"Don't you get it? Do you take me for a fool? Who would want an Ultimate Harem System?"

[A man who is not impotent.]

"Oh, you mean horny virgin men who masturbate to R-18 novels while fantasizing about fictional women." He looks towards you. Yes, the one reading this. And also the one writing this.

[So that means you are never horny which means you are impotent. Or gay.]

"Hey! Neither am I impotent nor gay."

[It's alright. We have the gay version of this system.]

"I'm not gay!"

[Denial is the first phase towards acceptance.]

"Are you even listening to me!? I'm not gay!"

[I see. Then...]

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/No]

"No."

[But why!? Are you impotent?]

"What do you not understand in 'I don't want it'?" He growled, infuriated, "I'm a smart man, one woman is enough to turn a man's life upside down, a harem will make it a washing machine."

[Understood.]

"Good."

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/No]

"No."

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/Yes]

Just as he was about to press [No] again, he saw that both options were [Yes].

"You're really adamant about me choosing [Yes], aren't you?"

[That is because without your consent the story cannot progress.]

"I don't care." He noticed a [x] option in the top corner of the panel and pressed it.

However, the system was even more stubborn. It reappeared.

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/No]

Darius scoffed. Rolling his eyes, his finger quickly approached [No], just as his finger was about to touch it. The [Yes] and [No] swapped places, but he predicted that and abruptly diverted the trajectory and still pressed [No].

"Heh." He smiled smugly.

[...Damn it...]

The panel then reappeared.

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/No]

"Why are you not giving up!?" He was seriously irritated now. Why was this happening to him? There were many horny perverts out there who would gladly kill for a chance like this. But it had to be him.

[I will not until you accept.]

Darius' eyebrow twitched, "Fine then, I'll just ignore you. You can't make me do what I don't want to do."

He hmph-ed like an angry housewife and walked away.

[Very well. You leave me no choice. O Author, the great creator of this world, would you please?]

Gladly.

Darius and the panel disappeared suddenly, leaving no trace of their existence in that room.

Suddenly, Darius found himself tied to a bed on his four. A shiver ran up his spine when he felt something hot and hard on his butt.

He slowly turned his head and saw something incredibly horrifying and disgusting. A black man, in his birthday suit, large and muscular in stature, smiling lecherously while rubbing his big black rooster up and down his ass.

His head was grabbed suddenly by large hands. Another black man, equally large and muscular with the same lecherous grin.

The beast between the black man's legs was hard and big, smelling strongly, assaulting the nose of Darius with full force.

The big black beast slowly came towards his mouth which opened automatically, against his will. He could feel the slight poke on his ass hole.

However, he could not resist it. He feel it all but he could not control his body as if something foreign was in control.

The poke got a little harder and the big black beast almost touched his lips.

'No. No, no, no. Please, no. Don't. Don't do this. Please, don't. PLEASE~.' He panicked. He was afraid, disgusted and felt like vomitting. He was almost violated by these monsters when everything froze.

A voice echoed in his mind, "You have three seconds. Choose [Yes] or become their plaything."

[Do you want to bind the Ultimate Harem System to yourself, Host?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes. Oh, God yes. Please take me away from here. Please, yes."

[Good choice.]

Darius was immediately teleported from there and back to that same room.

He slumped to the ground, scrunched up, tears hanging from his eyes. That moment will forever be engraved in his mind.

The system panel once again appeared in front of his face.

[Congratulations, you are now the owner of the Ultimate Harem System.]

[Heh.] A picture of a pink haired little girl smiling smugly appeared in the panel.

"Fuck you."

[Fuck you too, Host.]

As Darius was trying to bury the terrifying memory into the deepest depths of his mind, a creaking noise disturbed him.

"Hey, you." A sweet voice snatched his attention, "You're finally awake."

"Ralof?"
