The world was cruel..... 
Especially for those who had lost their chances to shine.

Aether was one of them....

Aether, an individual born with a silver spoon, found himself discarded like a defective product. He had longed for love and tenderness, but what others showed him was nothing but pain. 
Even in the face of that pain, he smiled not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. Despite the heartbreak, he entered into a hell called society with a beautiful smile.....

"Can't you do a single thing!!"
"..."

"You are fired!!!"
"....W-Wh.."

"I am sorry, Sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to enter our company!!"
"....I-I am..."

"I am sorry, Sir, but we cannot provide a loan for your ideas without reassurance!!"
"....W-Why?"

"I heard your father is a politician.... So, You know...."
"...."

After a long struggle, he finally got a job, but his brother's words rang in his ears:

"Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me, of course. So, don't ever contact me or even MY parents" his brother declared.
"...Heh..."

Just as he believed he had earned society's recognition, an unforeseen event claimed his pathetic, seemingly worthless life....

"HONK!! HONK!!"

Yet, amidst the cruelty of society, he defiantly cried,

“I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!”

Witnessing his heartfelt cry and desire to live in the hellish place called society, he was granted a second chance.

~Ding!~

However, even in this new life, his situation remained unchanged. He continued to struggle not only to live and eat but also..... seduction.

"HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE THE PRINCESS!!"
".....he..he... B-But I didn't seduce her!!"

"HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE MY MOTHER!!"
"...Hehe"

"YOU HAVE SOME NERVE TO SEDUCE MY WIFE, DON'T YOU?"
"HEHEHEHEHEE....."

Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

"Hmm?" Blake looked at Aether with a quizzical expression, his gaze probing. "Is something wrong?"

"O-Oh, no... It's just that I didn't hear about this before," Aether replied awkwardly, feeling slightly doubtful.

"Yes, even I didn't know that the Empress was conducting a tournament for her daughter's engagement," Stella added, her brow furrowing with doubt as she processed the unexpected revelation.

"Well, it's not announced to the public. Only a select few members were called for the tournament.... It's a test for the person chosen for her daughter's hand," Blake explained, shedding light on the clandestine nature of the event.

"I see..." Stella nodded thoughtfully, absorbing the new information. Meanwhile, Aether couldn't help but stifle a laugh inwardly, 'You've really gotten yourself into something, Kai. Your future mother-in-law is quite the character!... hehe' he mused silently, struggling to suppress a grin.
