Fuahh!
The Harem System inhaled a breath of fresh air as its Mental Energy body collapsed. The energy was consumed to generate a fleshly body, a gigantic form six metres tall, built robustly. The data within the Mental Energy was absorbed into the genetics of the creature, transforming into its memory reserve—instincts, muscle memory, habits, genetic traits, etc.
A tower shaped like a spider, but with dozens of legs, each like whips, coiled around the bodies of people, men and women of various ages and races. It was the Harem System's original appearance. And now, once it collapsed, taking its place was a flesh and blood body of a Haggon.
It had been reborn as a member of Secret Society through transmigration.
The Harem System was already a member. But it still maintained its race as a System. When Truck-Kun transmigrated it, the Harem System passed through Mascot's domain. Secret Society acted as a cheat and absorbed its Core Skill.
Its own Coordinate served to increase the volume of its Darble Dungeon while all its data, especially the function of its Core Skill was converted into its life experiences. As a result, it gained many Transcendent Skills.
As Mascot wasn't there in her domain at the moment, the Harem System automatically fell into one of her worlds, all thanks to Truck-Kun's cooperation.
When Compass Carburettor targeted the Grade 1 Systems, he used most of them to reinforce the worlds of Magister and Mascot, for they had lost a lot of power to the Systems, especially Magister.
Doing this would allow them to return to their peak and give a tougher time to the Systems. Their actions would help him invariably.
But he left behind some Grade 1 Systems, for they were way too valuable to be just used to reinforce some worlds. The Harem System was one of them, especially since its Core Skill was the strongest and most potent among the Harem Genre.
The Harem System's Haggon form landed within a forest adjacent to a village as it observed itself. Darlac began to form in its body, causing it to feel hungry. It walked through the forest and casually grabbed some trees and stuffed them in its mouth.
Crunching sounds resounded as the tree was crushed into pulp and swallowed into the stomach. The Haggon digested them within an hour as its Darlac reserves increased.
Following that, Harem roamed through the place before it sensed a System Host nearby. With a snap of its finger, it created a beautiful butterfly—Puppet—that flew towards the village and landed on the shoulder of the System Host.
"What a beautiful butterfly!" The System Host was just eight years old, a naïve village child. He had yet to experience the harsh reality of life after which his System would show itself and transform his life. He was still unaware of its existence.
The butterfly fluttered and took flight. Mesmerised, the boy ran after it, keeping pace easily with its slow flight. The butterfly eventually entered the forest and landed on a rock.
The System Host was panting lightly by now, taking in deep breaths as he stared at the butterfly. Right at this moment, rustling sounds resounded from behind. The System Host peeked over the rock and stared at a gorgeous woman walking out of a pool of crystal clear water, her every part a work of wonder.
The boy couldn't revert his eyes away. Even though his age meant he couldn't appreciate women, he could still marvel at beauty. His heart thumped as he observed the woman approaching him, for her clothes had been placed on the rock, right next to the butterfly. She hadn't noticed him yet.
The boy wasn't alert. Moreover, since no Mental Energy was generated from the gorgeous woman, for she hadn't noticed him or was aware of his existence, the System within him too didn't sense anything amiss.
The boy didn't even react when an energy blade layered his body, rigid, preventing him from moving even the slightest.
Before the System in his body could react and do something, or even return to the System World, the walls of the energy blade thickened towards its inside and crushed the System Host.
Harem threw the energy blade object into her Darble Dungeon and closed its entrance. It had taken the form of a woman.
Since the System Host died, the System within the boy's corpse floated out, intending to return to the System World. It had barely saved enough for the return journey. It didn't wish to use such an exorbitant amount, but there was no other choice if it wished to return.
But, when it intended to connect to the Astral Network and return to the System World, the System was stunned. After all, within the Darble Dungeon, there was no Astral Network. Without it, the System couldn't leave.
When exposed to the external environment, its body began to vaporise little by little. It activated its Skills and even its Core Skill, intending to destroy the Darble Dungeon and break free. But, Harem expertly encased it with energy blade barriers, tanking its attacks.
While doing so, Harem reverted to its Haggon form and continued to eat trees and replenish its expended Darlac reserves. Time passed and a few minutes later, the System vaporised fully. Everything that was part of its body had been absorbed by the Darble Dungeon, including its Cordinate.
"My foundation has improved tremendously." Harem smiled as it roamed the place, travelling from one continent to another before eventually sensing another System Host. It was a female this time.
Without a skip in beat, Harem consumed 100 Darlac and took on a human form, this time that of a male. Harem existed in both genders. So, it had all the necessary data.
Therefore, when it took on a human form, it used the relevant data to condense the necessary muscles and organs. Thereby, it was able to change its gender as pleased. Down to the genetic level, it was a perfect disguise.
As it was the Harem System before, the forms it took were captivating to the opposite gender, enough to be a potent Skill of its own. As an unrealistically handsome man, Harem approached the female System Host, succeeding in turning the System Host into a member of his harem.
After all, collecting the opposite gender like Pokemon was the essence of the Harem Genre. Harem was simply extending that to the System Hosts too. And once the System Host became a braindead member of his harem, he hoodwinked her and brought her to his Darble Dungeon.
Following that was a defensive war as the System was eventually consumed by the Darble Dungeon. Since Harem was a System once, almost at the top of Grade 1, it had a plethora of experience. And once it shed its status as a System, it was able to grow freely like a flesh-and-blood organism and use all its experience freely, no longer limited by its Core Skill's influence.
As a result, it became a terrifying entity that devoured Systems like crazy. Similar, valuable existences among Grade 1 Systems were retained as members of Secret Society. And unsurprisingly, their efficiency in killing and consuming Systems vastly outperformed the other Secret Society members.
