System at One End and Harem at the Other End



The completion of the Sex and Death quest marked a significant milestone for David. The lifeless body of the succubus lay before him, and it was now the opportune moment for him to utilize the Key he had acquired, granting him passage back to Earth.

During a meeting with the vice guild leader of the adventurers guild, David learned that high-level dungeons like the one he had just cleared would remain for approximately 4-5 hours after the monster's elimination.

The residual mana in the air kept the dungeon intact until it dissipated completely. This provided an opportunity for other teams to venture inside and gather valuable minerals and items.

Approaching the succubus's motionless form, David noticed a mana stone that had dropped from her body before her demise. It shimmered with magical energy. Additionally, he discovered a book of forbidden charm, a coveted item sought after by adventurers specializing in charm-based abilities.

Carefully, he stowed the succubus's body within his storage space, erasing any visible traces of their previous Sex. Through the use of magic, he manipulated the scene to appear as if she had fallen in battle.

Gathering the loot, including the precious blue mana crystals and various minerals scattered throughout the dungeon, David made sure everything was securely stored away.

With a sense of accomplishment and relief washing over him, David exhaled deeply and spoke, "Finally."

"Use the Key and return me back to my house,"

David uttered, his voice filled with determination. As his words resonated in the dimly lit dungeon, a small interdimensional portal materialized before him. The portal emitted a soft blue glow, casting an ethereal light across the surrounding darkness. Its swirling, spiral shape seemed to defy the laws of space and time.

With a resolute step, David ventured into the portal. The moment his foot crossed the threshold, a surreal sensation washed over him. He felt his body being pulled and stretched through a cosmic void, a sensation both exhilarating and unsettling. And just as quickly as it began, the disorienting journey came to an end, his other foot finding solid ground.

The room that greeted him on the other side was familiar, comforting in its familiarity. But as David emerged fully from the portal, his head lingering in the realm beyond, he noticed a disturbance.

The once serene system interface now flickered with red hues, a stark contrast to its usual calmness. An incessant chorus of beeps and warnings filled the air, indicating an impending messages.

[ System Warning ] [ System Warning ] [ System Warning ] [ System Warning ] [ System Warning ]

[ One Unread Message ] [ One Unread Message ] [ One Unread Message ] [ One Unread Message ]

[ System Warning ] [ System Warning ] [ System Warning ] [ System Warning ] [ System Warning ]

As he stepped into his room, hoping for a moment of respite, David's anticipation was abruptly shattered by the persistent buzzing of the system's warning messages. The room was awash in a disconcerting red glow, casting an ominous shadow over his surroundings.

Frowning in concern, David's eyes darted across the interface of his status screen, which was now completely engulfed in the alarming hue. Determined to uncover the cause of this disturbance, he muttered under his breath,

"What is this warning? Show me the unread message."

With a mere utterance, another message materialized before him, illuminating the screen with its contents. It read:

[ Your Harem Sarah has been removed from your collection [ View Details] ]

A jolt of disbelief coursed through David's veins. His mind raced to comprehend the unexpected revelation.

"Why has she been removed from my collection?" he wondered aloud.

"I completed all the harem extension quests for each member before I embarked on my journey to the goddess realm. There were still over 40 days remaining!"

A sinking feeling overwhelmed him as the truth dawned upon him. "Oh no, did I leave Earth for more than 40 days?" he muttered, his heart heavy with regret.

As he thought he had been absent from Earth for an extended period of time, unknowingly leaving behind the life he had built, including his cherished harem.

David's mind raced with questions, his heart heavy with the weight of the situation.

"What will I do now? How will I explain my disappearance to everyone?" he muttered, his voice filled with concern.

Determined to find answers, he uttered the command "View details" in a somber tone, hoping to uncover the truth.

╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗

[System Notification]

Your harem member Sarah has entered into a new relationship, leading to her removal from your harem collection.

You will no longer be able to engage in intimate Sex with Sarah using the system.

To prevent such situations in the future, consider marrying the members in your collection or adding them as girlfriends.

╚════════════════════════════════════════════╝

In an instant, another screen materialized before his eyes, displaying the unsettling message from the system. As David read through the notification, his heart sank further.

Sarah, a cherished member of his harem and the one with whom he had shared a significant connection, had started dating someone new. The system had removed her from his collection, denying him the ability to engage in any further intimate encounters with her.

The realization hit him hard, causing a pang of sadness in his chest. Sarah's absence symbolized the loss of a special bond, one that held sentimental value to him, as she was the first with whom David had shared an intimate experience, losing his virginity. Now, she was no longer a part of his collection.

Glancing at his harem list in the status bar, he saw that only Emily, Lily, Jessica, and Sophia remained.

Taking a few moments to compose himself and let go of his emotions, David took a deep breath. He knew he couldn't dwell on this for long. His primary concern now was determining the duration of his absence from Earth.

He needed to gather the details as soon as possible, bracing himself for the potential consequences that awaited him.

As he read through the messages, David's mind gradually settled, allowing him to focus on his surroundings. Taking a deliberate glance around the room, he observed each detail, noting that everything remained unchanged since his departure to the Goddess realm.

His mind raced with calculations, estimating the duration of his absence. He recalled spending nearly a day in the Goddess realm before being transported to the mysterious dimensional world, where he had stayed for what felt like four or five days.

Based on these calculations, he presumed that approximately five or six days should have passed on Earth.

Curiosity piqued, he reached for his phone and powered it on, only to be greeted by a surprising sight—a battery level still at 80 percent, indicating minimal power consumption.

"This is unusual. The phone should have been completely drained by now,"

David muttered, his gaze fixed on the device. Seeking confirmation, he glanced at the calendar, revealing the date as June 20, 2023, at 5:30 PM.

His bewilderment grew as he realized the time anomaly. According to his recollection, he had left Earth on June 20 at 12 PM when he was abruptly summoned to the Goddess realm.

However, upon his return, only five hours and thirty minutes had seemingly passed. The fact that he had spent over five days in the unknown world while Earth experienced a mere fraction of that time left him astonished.

Relief washed over him, dissolving the previous tension of extended absence from Earth.

"That's a relief " David let out a huge sigh

Relief flooded through David, the weight of worry lifting from his shoulders as he glanced at the time. Realizing he had been absent from Earth for a mere six hours, a smile of contentment spread across his face.

It seemed that the passage of time in the fantasy world he inhabited was vastly different from that of Earth. One hour on Earth equating to approximately one day on the other side, he reasoned. With this newfound understanding, he saw endless possibilities.

Excitement brimmed within him as he whispered to himself, "This is going to be so much fun!"

It was as if a game had been unlocked, allowing him to venture into the other world for leisure and return to Earth within a matter of hours. The prospect of living a fulfilling life on both sides filled him with elation.

A mischievous glint sparkled in David's eyes as a devious smirk adorned his face. An evil chuckle escaped his lips, resonating with anticipation.

"Hehehe, this means I'll have more time to gather harems," he mused, relishing the thought of expanding his collection.

With his affairs on Earth momentarily settled, David made up his mind to return to the fantasy world for another hour, which would translate into approximately one day there. During this time, he planned to swiftly accomplish the necessary procedures for obtaining his guild license.

Additionally, he needed to devise a plausible excuse to justify his unavailability, as he couldn't disclose the truth about how he arrived in the fantasy world. Since he had already obtained an additional return key to Earth, it was only a matter of a few hours before he would make his way back.
