My CEO Harem Cultivation System

It happened during the absorption of the Beast Cores—maybe he had overestimated himself and thought it would work fine. Li Yang might have also blamed the System or the Patch Update, or even a certain Peach when a glaring nonsensical error flashed in his vision.

// System Running Program

// run-time error

#include<harem.c>

void main()

{

    int c = 89, abs = n/a;

    // wrong logic

    // cores is absorbed by n/a,

    // so this program abnormally terminates

    abs = c / n/a;

    printf("resut = %", abs);

}

[ Searching for a Solution… ]

[ Calculating Solution Rejection Possibility ]

[ Possibility of rejection is at 0.005% ]

[ Loss of State & Consciousness In 5… 4... 3… 2— ]

Li Yang blinked once and then lost consciousness for a second—but quickly recovered from the System's overload and frowned. 

That was until he realized that the light filtering through the window was now already fading away. And what felt like less than a second to him was actually more than what he expected.

He groaned for once and finally summoned the status screen for the results.

[ Congratulations You Have Absorbed All Eighty Nine Beast Cores! ]

[ Host Was Temporarily Placed In Unconscious State During Absorption ]

[ Spiritual Roots Condition Discovery Advancements ]

[ System Transformed Ao Energy to Innate Energy for World Warper ]

Li Yang rubbed his forehead and sighed. If he had attempted to absorb that many Beast Cores around other individuals then it would have become a liability. Regardless, at least things turned out good if he truly had absorbed all of the Beast Cores.

He then checked the amount of energy he needed and hoped it was enough.

"Great, just a little more." Li Yang muttered to himself. It made him regret that he gave away the five Beast Cores earlier even when they were all small ones—but it seemed like he only needed a couple of more.

It then reminded him of Setsuko's promise.

There was a tournament or rather a small competition she spoke of amongst those in the Inner Court of Mashiro Temple's Priestesses. While Li Yang initially wanted to let her keep it for herself—even though it might have been overkill considering her bloodline—it was now a necessity unless he were to try and return to the Frostborne Mountain Peaks.

"I could just attempt to get one of those grown in the Sacred Forest's beasts… it wouldn't matter much once I'm gone anyway," Li Yang said.

But even saying those words made him feel displeased at himself. It was a logical decision that benefited him the most without any concern for those around him—and he made those, but sometimes, or perhaps more often than not… he also made irrational choices.

And he was thinking about Setsuko. 

The actuality of him leaving this world was now becoming a reality, and yet did he ever consider what might happen to Setsuko? He'd have to leave her behind. As far as he could tell, the Patched System only took him away and not Taiga when he first accepted it at the rooftop that night.

Thus it was more natural to accept the idea that this World Warper was for only one person to use…

He sighed and summoned the main screen of his System.

And then he moved on to one of the interfaces.

[ Companion Interface ]

No man is an island! Sometimes the power of friendship and bonds can help the Host move mountains rather than being alone. The System helps create this power through the chance to make your companions stronger, or have them empower you. Choose Companions wisely.

The way that the System phrased it was not lost upon him, but he shifted his attention to the small list of people in his harem.

Host: Li Yang aka CEO

Companionship Type: Harem-based

Individuals:

Narissa (Harem Member) (3 Important Unread Notifications!)

Setsuko (Energy Bonding - Awakened)

Before he could look at Setsuko—the glaring red color shaped seashell similar to alert notifications on apps made him stare at Narissa's name. Though the Mermaid introduced herself as Bai Minghua, a twenty-three year old idol in their world… her true Name was provided upon by the System.

And she found a way to contact him? 

Li Yang quickly checked it first.

A blurry image of a blue-haired woman alone in her jacuzzi first came up and was quickly followed by two text messages—

Narissa: What the hell—it had a camera?

[ Narissa Has Consumed Maximum Energy Points To Contact You ]

The CEO blinked for a moment before shaking his head and stifling an amused chuckle. While the fact that an Official Harem Member seemed to have gained access to a System like him—the specifics of which he did not know—it was a sudden breath of fresh air… or bubble? To see a message back from earth.

But it didn't actually change his situation much did it?

The sound of a door swinging open quickly made him look up in surprise. "Setsuko?"

It wasn't her who welcomed herself in the room.

Approximately Sixteen to Nineteen Hours Prior

Tremendous energies blown once across the entire continent and roused sleeping individuals awake. Now more subtle energies coming from the same source (Setsuko) dispersed once again, serving as a catalyst.

A sleeping beauty tore her fist through solid ice.

The crystal bier scattered around the precipitous slope, a rain of hail and fractal that poured down on creatures of the peak. The woman's mere presence cast an unmagnanimous aura that pervaded around the entire peak of the mountain.

And yet instead of a Goddess that loved her world and was overjoyed at her return.

She sounded unhappy. 

"Fuckin—" 

Well, it didn't wake in the most pleasant of circumstances.

The Individual grabbed at her face once, but then started grabbing at her lustrous hair. "Bitch!"

While Bao hadn't managed to kick Aurora into another millennium of sleep, the two of them both grabbed the vessel for power and were now sharing it.
