Harem Overlord

"What are you doing?" Ayaka asked as she appeared back and saw Kai walking on water and skipping after every ten steps.

"Just seeing how good my control is. The moment I fall into the water is the moment I lose my control." Kai replied as Ayaka raised her eyebrows in surprise. It seemed like a fair thing to do if one was bored but Ayaka had other things to do.

She closed her eyes and felt the connection she had with her special realm. THz creator of a special realm could basically control any inanimate object inside the realm. 

Ayaka then focused on the water in the lake as she started pulling it downwards and suddenly heard a plopping sound. She opened her eyes with a smile as she saw Kai standing in front of her with an annoyed expression.

His clothes were completely drenched in water and his hair were flat against his head as his eyes gleamed dangerously.

"What was that for?!" He asked as Ayaka furrowed her eyebrows in confusion as she acted innocent.

"What do you mean what was that? You just fell in the water because you lost focus. Now quickly dry off and we have somethings to talk about then." She instructed with a small smile.

Kai just rolled his eyes and snapped his hands as his clothes suddenly changed. He had been wearing armor before but now he shifted to some plain purple robes. Ayaka raised her eyebrows in response when she saw Kai doing this.

"That's a useful trick. How did you do that?" She asked curiously as Kai raised his right hand? A space ring gleamed on his middle finger as his clothes changed again.

"You just need a space ring or something similar and use a little spiritual energy to instantly shift the clothes that you are wearing and the clothes that are in your storage." He explained as Ayaka nodded.

She then glanced down at the golden pendant that she was wearing and did what Kai had told her. Her clothes changed from the dress to purple fur robes

"Well, it isn't a world-changing thing but is a good thing for lazy people." Ayaka said as Kai raised his eyebrows.

"Do you qualify as a lazy person?" He then asked as Ayaka shrugged.

"You asking a harem overlord whether she is lazy or not?" She instead asked as Kai smiled.

"Being a harem overlord doesn't mean that one isn't lazy." He replied as Ayaka chuckled and nodded.

"I don't even brush my hair manually. I use spiritual energy and do my hair with its help. Guess I qualify as a lazy person." She said as Kai nodded.

"Why did you bring me here anyways?" Kai then asked as Ayaka smile and gestured for him to follow her.

They then walked towards the northeast as Kai saw the scenery changing. Further from the lake were oak trees and blue and red flowers growing all around.

"Do you know what made previous harem overlords powerful enough that everyone feared them?" Ayaka asked while walking as Kai immediately answered.

"They had the harem wish and harem curse. They could use those wish and curse to literally wish for anything or curse anyone when they were nearing their death." He answered as Ayaka nodded.

She then suddenly stopped as Kai stopped too. They had reached a white house as Ayaka turned back with curious eyes.

"Do you know how a new harem overlord is chosen?" She asked as Kai shook his head.

"My guess is that the previous harem overlord chooses his or her successor." He replied as Ayaka shook her head.

"The next harem overlord is chosen by two people that are not even alive, if that makes any sense. If you have heard about the next harem overlord competition that supposedly happens after a harem overlord dies, you know that the next harem overlord is chosen in such competitions.

But what you don't know is that the previous harem overlord is still alive and he or she carries two souls inside them who choose the next harem overlord. Those two souls are also the reason a harem overlord could use the wish and the curse." Ayaka explained as Kai's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Why are you telling me this?" He asked as Ayaka shrugged.

"Cause I don't have anything else to talk about." She replied with a small smile as Kai sighed.

"I can't believe that a harem overlord is free enough to chat with a normal person like this." Kai sighed as Ayaka raised her eyebrows.

"What's wrong in talking with an extremely handsome supposedly normal person who is abnormal?" Ayaka asked as Kai narrowed his eyes.

"I know that you have golden blood inside your body despite not being a mortal. You are a Nephilim but for someone who is a Nephilim, you sure do have a high level of demonic energy inside you." Ayaka said as Kai suddenly took a step back.

"You…" He started saying but trailed off as he didn't have anything else to say.

"What do you want?" He asked in a neutral tone as Ayaka shrugged.

"You know about the rumors right? About me having a two person harem? Well, those rumors are just rumors. I don't have a harem and I haven't lost my virginity. I wonder if that even makes me a harem overlord but who cares. I want you to pose as one of my lovers who participate in the tournament to fool people." She replied as Kai was confused.

"Can't you just use your powers and openly declare this instead of going through such a dramatical process?" Kai asked as Ayaka gave him a bittersweet smile.

"When you became a top level figure in the world, there will be many people who would try to scheme against you." She replied as Kai just sighed.

"You can literally have any other person do it so why me?" Kai asked as Ayaka smiled.

"It's cause many people saw you and you also disappeared for 500 years which is enough time to convince people about this. Don't worry, I will take good care of you. Top quality food and clothes with good cultivation resources if you want them." Ayaka replied as Kai thought about it before nodding.

Getting things for just posing as a fake lover was a pretty sweet deal and having nothing else to do, this was the best thing that could happen to Kai.

But maybe, he should have refused this.
