Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

##Extreme Smut and Kink warning## As a child, I did not have any known relatives. Getting into college was a significant goal of mine. I came into this world at the exact moment that I started to see a thin line of hope. Before I could make sense of what was going on, the individuals who had summoned me were murdered. I was caught and sold as a slave for the war. It was nice that the "Oh! Great System" helped me get stronger and learn some new skills. Only after winning 50 times in a row in the Colosseum was the emperor granted me a gift. I believe freedom would have been the best gift. However, I got the second-best one. I became a slave bull. Slave traders, nobility, and even the emperor himself sent slaves to my chamber in order to procreate. Finally, after 30 years of doing nothing, I felt the rush of action. For three days straight, and... "System, why am I back? I thought I was getting to the best part of the story." {{This planet needs the help of the returnee, like the host. Please take care of it.}} "Fuck the planet. I HAVE to get my harem back." Schedule: Every other day. (3-4 Chapters/week)

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.

Malik is a 16-year old boy who escaped the war in Syria when he was 8, and with the help of a charity company got to meet his adoptive mother, Frederique. She was a single psychologist in her late twenties who specialized in war-time trauma and was deemed qualified to mother the orphan, Malik. When he was born, both of Malik's parents, whose marriage was an arranged one, were violent with each other and had grown incessantly tired of each other. This meant they didn't properly raise him, but it also meant he was subject to their constant bickering which often escalated in front of him. Regardless, they did both love him in their own way, but refused to cooperate in his upbringing which meant a lot was missing from his childhood. Later, the Syrian war had reached their city and the family was forced to evacuate. When confronted by militias, his father opted to stay behind with other men to make time for the women and children to escape. Then his father died. His mother, in her grief and the chaos, got separated from Malik. Later they reunited at a ship helping refugees escape the country, but the ship sank and Malik emerged the sole survivor when a touristic ship crossing the Red Sea found him. He was brought to England as a refugee and gained citizenship by being adopted by Frederique. At first, he was mute and refused to ask for anything more than was given to him, due to his many psychological boundaries, but with support from Frederique and his therapist, Dr. Miriam, he learned to start speaking without fear of repercussion and demand things of Frederique. Their relationship was still somewhat distant, since Malik remained a boy of few words and little expressions. But Frederique made up for it with a bubbly but consistent and trustworthy personality. It was still difficult for him, however, to form interpersonal relationships and he was shunned by schoolmates until 9th grade. In the tenth grade, Malik met a boy named Liam who became very interested in him and in being his friend. The two developed a dynamic of Liam constantly seeking Malik out and following him around everywhere. Liam found Malik cool and wanted to become close to him. Malik slowly got used to his presence and began to trust him and enjoy his company. After a year, the two became inseperable and found many shared interests. But one day Liam is hit by a car and dies. Malik succumbs to coping mechanisms he had long shunned and experiences one panic attack after another in his re-elapsing episodes of complex PTSD. This story aims to draw light to the forgotten victims of the foreign US-funded wars that traumatize and impact generations of people for their entire lives.

Warning: Not all girls will be integrated into the main harem and will keep their relevance to the story. You'll know if a girl is important or not by how much I explore her feelings and history.
