[Ding! The Harem Paradise System is bound to the host.]
[1%... 10%... 50%..... 75%... 99%...]
[Binding successfully!]
[Unlocking the Function of the Harem Paradise System: Success!]
[Unlocked successfully: System Administrator (Spirit)]
[Ding! Host now can directly interact with the system spirit! All system-host interactions will take place via the system spirit, including questions and answers, requests, and other forms of communication.]
[Ding! Message from the Goddess!]
[Reading: You have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to ask me a question via the system, and I, your Goddess, will do my utmost to respond! But take note—it can only happen once per month!]
[Ding! Message terminated!]
Pyris's mind buzzed with excitement as the notifications flashed before his eyes, each one confirming that the system was now operational.
The thought of being able to communicate directly with the Goddess filled him with both awe and anticipation. He carefully read through the notifications again, making sure he didn't miss anything important.
"Wow," Pyris whispered to himself, his heart racing with exhilaration. Not only was the system functional, but it also came with a system spirit—a being that would assist him directly in his journey.
The idea of having such a powerful entity guiding him made him feel both privileged and eager to explore what lay ahead.
[Ding! For appropriate interactions, does the host want to give the system spirit unrestricted access to his thoughts and mind?
Note: it's safe, and the spirit can't tamper with your mind or have access to thoughts you don't wish to share!]
"No problem, allow access!" Pyris responded without hesitation. The instant he granted permission, he felt a warm, soothing sensation spread through his mind, like a gentle caress of light that made him feel secure.
[Good morning, host. I am Lia, the system spirit. Glad to meet the Champion of the Goddess!] A sweet, heavenly voice echoed in his mind. The tone was so comforting and serene that Pyris's guard dropped immediately, any lingering anxiety melting away in the face of such kindness.
'It feels like being in a mother's embrace,' Pyris thought, a soft smile forming on his lips. 'Then again, I've never experienced one, but that's the feeling, I guess!'
"Lia, huh? It's nice to meet you too. Please don't be so formal; you can just call me Pyris."
[Pyris it is, then!] Lia replied, her voice carrying a lightness that felt like a breath of fresh air.
"So, Lia, what are the system functions? What's the use of the system exactly?" Pyris asked, his curiosity piqued. He wasn't going to act like an all-knowing protagonist just because he had read countless system-based novels. He understood that knowing and experiencing were two entirely different things.
[First, before we delve into the system functions, Pyris, I suggest retrieving your body's old memories. This will help you better understand the system, the world you now inhabit, and the Goddess's blessings. It will also teach you more about yourself.] Lia recommended, her tone gentle but firm.
Pyris paused for a moment, realizing the wisdom in Lia's suggestion. She wasn't just a typical system spirit—she seemed to possess a depth of understanding that made her more than just a guide.
"Excellent, aid this youthful maestro in retrieving 'his' memories!" Pyris said, his tone playfully arrogant, trying to lighten the situation despite the serious nature of the task.
[Young master, prepare yourself!] Lia warned, and no sooner had she finished speaking than a sharp pain seared through Pyris's mind. The intensity of it caught him off guard, and he cried out in pain.
"Aaahhhh! It hurts!" Pyris groaned, clutching his head as he collapsed onto the bed. Fresh memories and information flooded his mind, overwhelming him as they fused with his consciousness.
Memories of this new world, the intricacies of its society, the system of power and magic, all became clear to him. He learned about the ruling entities, the various races, and the complex structures that governed life here.
Everything that the previous owner of this body had known was now his.
Most importantly, he gained knowledge about himself—who he was, where he came from, and the life he was about to continue. The previous owner of this body was also named Pyris, specifically Pyris Obsidian, the third child of Duchess Emberly Obsidian, a powerful noble dragon.
Pyris's mother was a Duchess, a title signifying immense power and influence in this world. His family was one of high noble dragons, a race known for its immense strength and pride.
His oldest sister, Anastasia Obsidian, was the Dragon of Resurrection and Life, a formidable figure in her late twenties, already brushing the threshold of her thirties. His other sister, Aurelia Obsidian, was the Dragon of Destruction and Death, a fierce young woman just eighteen years old.
Pyris himself was the youngest of the three siblings, just sixteen years old, and was on the cusp of his awakening—a significant event in a anyone's life.
However, despite their noble lineage, there was a conspicuous absence of a father figure in their lives, a mystery that Pyris knew would need to be unraveled later.
[Congratulations, Pyris, on acquiring your memories!] Lia's voice echoed softly in his mind, pulling him back to the present.
"I see," Pyris murmured, a smile playing on his lips as the memories settled within him. "This is going to be interesting! I think it's time now, Lia."
[Yes, Pyris! The system has a variety of functions. The first one is 'Status,' which allows you to view your attributes in numerical form, your skills, and more. Simply say the word 'Status.'] Lia explained.
"Status!" Pyris called out, and immediately, a holographic display appeared before his eyes, filled with detailed information about himself.

"Woah!" Pyris exclaimed, his eyes widening in awe as he took in his status. Even though he was unawakened, his basic stats were already higher than those of many other races, even those at Rank 2. His Charm, in particular, was off the charts.
He knew from the memories that only a few races could compare to the natural advantages of dragons—the Fallen Angels, Chaos Demons, High Elves, and Original Vampires from the Royal family were among them.
"This is incredible!" Pyris whispered, the excitement in his voice unmistakable. Everything about this world, about his new life, was far beyond what he had ever imagined.
With a grin, he thought to himself, "This is just the beginning."
