Harem Novel World

I felt sad for Lucrecia.

She did so much for humans and the world.

Spending her whole life spreading love and peace.

What did she get in return?

People loved her for centuries yes. But the nature of humans is filled with greed and aiming for the stars.

She was betrayed by people she loved and cared for so much.

Such a supreme being who could annihilate any foreign enemy was defeated by the greed of humans.

This is life, yes true real life. For power, some people will betray anyone.

People forget the love you give them and are easily manipulated.

Life was like that.

'Rest in peace for a long time Lucrecia, I hope you stay asleep because I don't want your foolishness and softness to make me silly instead.'

The reason is simple, even if you have the power you need to keep a firm grip on your subjects.

Lucrecia failed in that and this is the reason for her demise.

Her sister betrayed her for who knows what reasons. I don't believe that umbra will betray and fight her sister for power or domination.

Umbra was already the second strongest person. She most likely had other reasons.

Whatever those reasons were, I know that world is currently in massive trouble.

Unrefined echo is the major doomsday for humans if the purification layer vanishes.

Humans will die completely if that happens and now there is no one to maintain the security and control of the world.

'First I have to make sure that the protection layer stays active to protect the world. Aura burn forbidden technique is a disease that is still active according to my memories of this world. That means humans are exploiting the worst thing that could cause the apocalypse.'

Why did I have to be chosen for this stupid world?

Savior? Come on I am a guard dog and it is on hell difficulty.

Why I say hell is because the goddess of this world failed to stop the schemes completely of humans and who knows what races.

It has been more than 100 years since the goddess went into slumber after losing her world fragments.

World fragments were essential for the control of the world core and she no longer has control over them.

Not only that she is in slumber or weakened badly that she can not help me anyway.

"How am I supposed to fight people with world fragments? They are divine beings. No matter what, I do not belong to this world and might not get help from the world" Dante asked helplessly.

(A/n: Pearl is face to face with Dante so I will use double quotes for her as well, the hyphen will only be used when pearl is talking through their soul or mind)

"Everything needs to be done one step at a time. The world needs help and your main purpose is to do just that. Obviously, with your trusted system, you can do many things. I have made sure that system becomes an external part of the great me. Muahahaha."

"What do you mean by external, aren't you and the system the same thing? You are a conscious system right?" Dante asked

"Yes, but now the system can act independently and can be utilized even without notifying me."

"I guess that is going to save some time for me if I don't have to call you again and again for checking the status"

"Yes that is why I made it so that you can directly use the system while I sleep... ahem."

"Hey did you just say sleep, aren't you just lazy? No way did you get laziness from my memories. I was pretty lazy as well in my last life."

I was shocked to hear this little girl say that she did all that to save herself from talking and resting as well as enjoying her free time while I work like a horse to save the world.

Shocking shocking. No wonder you can not trust anyone nowadays.

Sadly Dante was in no position to demand answers for her doings. She is beyond his grasp.

'Wasn't she a god fragment as well? No wonder she is so relaxed, she is immortal in the universe. Even if I die she will most likely survive.' Dante thought with a notion of pride in himself for his intelligence as he discovered a secret.

Pearl looked at Dante in a silly and cute way like she is innocent and needed candy.

"Hey, why do you get to play around while I use my free time for planning things around? Besides what is so great about this system? I have no cheats and even I had this is not a cultivation world and is based on ranks that can not be overtaken by 'heaven defying battle power' bulshit." Dante said straightly.

(A/n: only legends know the reference I used right there.)

Pearl put her hand on her sides and said while raising her head in pride. "Don't worry about those little things, I am sure you can find a way or technique to save yourself when you are in danger. Besides, there is a starter pack to help you. Also, I need to talk about other things which are necessary for you to realize."

"Maybe you are tight about secret system techniques. What do you mean about things I don't realize yet? I know what I need to do in this world." Dante said and then stopped for a moment and then continued.

"I have to revive Lucrecia and give her world fragments to power her up and destroy cults that are experimenting with using 'Aura burn'. After that Light queen will do what she is expected to do and seal her sister Umbra again in the tomb. Then everything will be normal. Correct?"

"Wrong..." pearl said seriously.

Pearl made a face that made me feel chills. This was the first time that pearl was serious. Even during story time, she was having bored expressions. Now she was seriously like I was not accepting something? But what does she...

"What do you think about your situation right now, begin from the start, I mean the moment you died what happened since then?" Pearl stated straightly.

'Why is pearl acting like that and why do I feel a sense of danger not danger from others but from my sense'

Dante started stating what he remembered from the start. "I was transmigrated into the world of Utopia by Overlord who is also the guardian of the universe. I died in my last life due to a heart attack because of reasons that I don't want to discuss. I was in my inner mind, my soul roaming in the vast expanse of nothingness until the overlord summoned me and gave me a chance for a second life because I failed in achieving something in my first life.

I don't know what I was supposed to achieve in my last life but it was enough to have a luck value of negative.

Overlord gave me a system which I named pearl and then I rested until I was 5 years old to wake up and see that pearl had ruined everything" pearl looked at me like I ate her sweets but I continued the story.

"I asked you to tell me about the backstory of this world and you told me about how this was a gamelike story where the goddess was betrayed by people she cares about and adored. Such a finger-licking backstory and I'm lovin it... or not. Whatever the main purpose of my being summoned into this world is to use my second life to work my ass off to save the world from itself. See I explained everything". Dante said sarcastically.

Pearl looked at me like I was an idiot. I wondered if she was okay.

She never acted like that before maybe she is spoiled by my mother in this world.

"So you think you were transmigrated here? This is also your second life where you need to save the world?" Pearl asked in a questioning manner.

"2nd life of slavery begins now. So tell me what I need to do now to become strong."

"First, I need to tell you something," pearl said and came close to me.

"Yeah what is that?"

"This is not your second life brother."

"What are you saying..." before I could say further I was interrupted.

"This world is based on a novel that existed in your last world called earth. You are saying you don't remember that."

< POV Dante >

What was she saying? Novel world. Not my second life. I never read anything regarding this world. I read many novels including the shounen genre which were made for kids only. But there is no novel with the name Lucrecia or Umbra. I once played a game that has the goddess of light and darkness but that game was not based on utopia. That means this is not the same. Besides pearl said that this was a novel world.

Novel world story is always straightforward where there exists a protagonist and a Villain. There are many minor villains which are used for sharpening the character of the main character.

Since this is a harem novel that means either I am a mob character or a minor villain who dies in the early story.

"So since I don't remember the last life, does it means I didn't read it? So tell me am I a character who dies at the hands of the main character or dies to some enemy after being humiliated by the main character?" Dante asked pearl who was now in her play mode once again.

"My dear loving brother, you are wrong about everything. Sometimes being a genius who thinks 2 steps ahead is also a defect. You are someone who needs therapy and fast. Okay, enough joking around. I will ask you some questions and you must answer in one or two words. Okeiii?" Pearl asked smiling like an angel.

"Sure go ahead."

"What is your mother's name in first life?"

"Easy question, it is ...."

What was happening I couldn't remember my own mother's name she was the kindest person I knew and the person I loved and respected a lot.

"I can't remember, what is happening."

I asked frowning deeply.

"You have lost some memories after your 2nd life due to world core interference in judging you as a factor."

"What 2nd life? This is my 2nd life!"

"No this is your third life. You died in your first and then transmigrated here. You died again. Now you are reincarnated or a person sent back in time."

"How much time passed since I died in my 2nd life?"

"Give or take 1000 years."

"What happened during that time?"

"Novel plot is what happened. After you died at age of 5 due to poisoning and sacrificing your life to save your sisters. You went back to the world's pool of life. "World pool" keeps all souls inside it for future reincarnations, which might or might now happen for time eternal."

"What I died at the same age as now?"

< POV End >

Dante was shocked and shouted "system, show me my condition status"

[Condition: Healthy, broken meridians, strong soul]

He was happy that there was no anomaly in his status which meant the system helped him this time to remove the side effects of poison.

"What is there no poison effect even though I died in my last life due to that."

"I will explain to you everything now about your second life and what happened in the novel plot during the 1000-year gap that you were dead for," Pearl said smiling.

Dante was ready to get over the plot twist that had happened to him in this world.

He lost memories and a precious life ticket and he was not ready to give up on this life.
