Harem System: From Bullied Loser to Overpowered Hero
Kang Juhyun has always been at the bottom of the high school social ladder. Overweight, bullied, and completely ignored, his life is a cycle of isolation and pain. The only light in his miserable existence is Yoon Jihee, his stunning classmate who seems kind and perfect—at least, that’s what he thought.
On Valentine’s Day, Juhyun decides to confess his feelings to Jihee. With chocolates, cookies, and a love letter in hand, he’s ready to finally tell her the truth. But when he overhears Jihee mocking him with the bullies, using him as a pawn in their cruel game, his world crashes down. The girl he trusted was just playing him, and the pain of betrayal cuts deeper than he could have imagined.
Heartbroken and lost, Juhyun retreats from the world, but fate has something else in store for him. A tragic fire consumes his home, taking the lives of his parents—and his own. As he’s about to give in to despair, an old man offers him a second chance. He can return to the past, armed with a powerful system that allows him to level up and grow stronger. But there’s a catch: the system doesn’t just want him to become stronger—it has special, forbidden tasks for him.
One of these tasks, a task that will grant him unimaginable power, is simple but shocking: he must sleep with women to gain special skills. The more women he encounters, the stronger he becomes. At first, Juhyun is disgusted by the idea. He respects women, and crossing that line feels wrong. But the system pushes him further, tempting him with the power he’s always dreamed of.
Back in his body, Juhyun uses his newfound strength to rewrite his story. He exposes Jihee’s deception, humiliates the bullies, and surprises everyone with his transformation. As he completes the system’s tasks, he grows more handsome, more confident, and more skilled—but the price of power is high. With every woman he sleeps with, a special skill is unlocked, and the temptation to use his power for his own desires grows stronger.
The path Juhyun walks becomes more dangerous as the system’s demands grow darker. He attracts the attention of a secret organization hunting down monster outbreaks and is forced to team up with them. The organization knows the truth behind the monsters—and they want him to help them stop the apocalypse.
But Juhyun is torn. The system’s tasks keep pushing him towards forbidden choices, and the more powerful he becomes, the more he questions his own morality. Will he use his new skills to save the world from the impending disaster, or will he succumb to the dark temptation of the system and risk everything, including his humanity?
In this thrilling tale of power, lust, betrayal, and redemption, Juhyun must decide how far he’s willing to go for strength—and what he’s willing to sacrifice to stop the monsters before it’s too late.
