Ryan is very satisfied after reading the system's prompts; he can pick up cute girls and buxom ladies in Sekirei World and has an easy start in building his future grand harem!
[Creating the Trial World…]
[A World as the basis for Trial World is found within the multiverse under Akashic Records…]
[Copying the World's Records to speed up the creation process…]
[Loading the process… 0.1%… 0.2%…]
Ryan's eyes bulge out as he hears a piece of information that piques his interest. "So, the anime-based world exists in that multiverse. I wonder if other anime- and manga-based worlds also exist in that multiverse too?" He mumbled aloud, his expression turning thoughtful.
[Affirmative.] Surprisingly, the system responded.
"Aren't you in the middle of creating the Trial World?"
[Worry not for the Supreme Harem System has parallel processing ability.]
"Aren't you too high-specs?!"
[Affirmative. Anyhow... as we are waiting until the Trial World's creation is completed, the system will start the tutorial to help you understand the System's Interfaces better. Would you like to start the Tutorial?]
Ryan doesn't waste his time. He replies the system with—"Yes"—quickly.
[Affirmative. Proceeding to the tutorial. First of all, think or say "Open System Menu" to access the System's Menu Interface!]
"I see. Open System Menu!"
Right after following the system's instruction, a new screen pops up in Ryan's field of vision. He sees,
———
STATUS
SKILLS
STORAGE
HAREM (LOCKED)
BASE (LOCKED)
SHOP (LOCKED)
LOTTERY (LOCKED)
GUILD (LOCKED)
WORLD (LOCKED)
PRIVILEGE (LOCKED)
———
A moment passes after the System's Menu Interface popped up in Ryan's field of vision; he hears the system's voice again.
[First of all, let's start with the Status Interface. You can directly access this interface by thinking or chanting the keyword: "Open Status Menu".]
Ryan follows the system instruction and finds a new screen popping up in his field of vision; the System's Menu Interface stays as it is. For the new screen, it displays his status, which looks like a Servant's status in Type-moon franchise with some extras.
"No," Ryan corrected himself quickly, "There are some differences."
He looks into his [Status] and finds the following information,
———
Name: Ryan Maxwell
System's Rank: Harem Starter
Upgrade Rank: 100 System Points
Parameter:
- STR: F
- END: F
- SPD: F
- SPC: F
- RES: F
Power Points: 10
System Points: 0
———
Right after he finished skimming his Status, he hears the system's voice. It has already become familiar in his ears.
[The system will initiate the concise yet comprehensive explanation about the System's Interfaces...]
Although the System said "concise", the explanation is actually very long; Ryan is a bit peeved by that, but he is silently memorizing the details of the System's Interface, which is displayed in a new screen.
The first one is his name. There is nothing to explain.
Afterward, it is System's Rank that displays his rank according to Supreme Harem System's rankings.
There are 10 rankings in total:
- Harem Starter
- Harem Novice
- Harem Junior
- Harem Senior
- Harem King
- Harem Emperor
- Harem Sovereign
- Harem God
- Harem God-King
- Harem Supreme
Each rank is split into 5 sub-ranks; 1★ is the lowest, and 5★ is the highest. However, Starter and Harem Supreme are the only ranks that don't have sub-ranks since it's the beginning and the pinnacle.
Ranking up will give him some benefits; the most important ones are obtaining a "point" to raise his "Parameter" and unlocking the system's locked Interfaces.
Parameters are a set of rules for representing the relative power of each attribute ranked by letters under different systems, translated into specific parameters.
There were 5 Parameter's Attributes, and each one of them was,
STR: Abbreviation of Strength. Display the rank of the maximum physical attack and overall physical strength.
END: Abbreviation of Endurance. Display the rank of the maximum physical defense, stamina, constitution, and endurance.
SPD: Abbreviation of Speed. Display the rank of the movement speed, thought speed, reflex, agility, dexterity, and other things related to speed.
SPC: Abbreviation of Special. Display the rank of the maximum special attack, aptitude for supernatural feats, and the amount of PP and its recovery rate.
RES: Abbreviation of Resistance. Display the rank of the maximum special defense against all types of nonphysical attack.
There were 10 ranks for Parameters. F → E → D → C → B → A → S → SS → SSS → EX. Each had a quantifiable number assigned for it. F was the lowest, which was equal to "one". And the value of "one" was equal to his base statistics. Then, E was equal to "ten" and it multiplies by ten incrementally until reaching "one billion" at SSS. EX had different rules in it because EX was the designation for one billion and one to ∞.
Surprisingly, Ryan finds that he can raise his base statistics manually. And each rank up will allow him in updating his Parameter's Attributes, multiplying his base statistics according the Parameter's Rank.
Additionally, there are other factors that weren't mentioned such as skills that increase his base stats.
Anyhow...
To rank up, Ryan must spend his System Points (abbreviated as SP). How much System Points required to rank up is displayed in the panel below the System's Rank. Moreover, System Points also work as a currency.
Ryan can exchange his System Points for resources in System's Shop Interface.
To earn System Points, he can clear some Mission the system gives him or by raising girl's 'Love Meter'.
As an aside, Love Meter has three stages, which have 100% gauge as the maximum limit. Those stages and the details are:
- Affection: it grants 100 System Points for every 1% up to 99%. When it's maxed out, there is a 10,000 System Points bonus.
- Devotion: it grants 10,000 System Points for every 1% up to 99%. When it's maxed out, there is 1,000,000 System Points bonus.
- Happiness: it is different from the two previous stages. Every time it is maxed out, the system will grant him 1,000 System Points. The gauge will return back to zero afterward.
From this, Ryan recognizes that he must treat his harem well to earn System Points. If he treats his future harem badly, he won't be able to obtain easy System Points. Not like he plans to treat them badly, though.
Afterward, the system explains about Power Points, abbreviated as PP. In short, it is the supernatural energy to fuel some skills. His PP is affected by SPC Parameter, multiplied by the value of his SPC Parameter Rank.
After the Status Interface is the Skills Interface, which is split into two categories: Active and Passive. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any skill as of now. However, the system explains how only unique skills, which is notable, are listed in the Skills Interface, meaning that a mundane skill such as the ability to wash dishes won't be displayed in the Skill Interface.
Skill's rankings are split into 7 ranks, designated with "★". Therefore, 1★ is the lowest, and 7★ is the highest.
Next, the Storage Interface, which has 1 cubic meter in dimension. It doesn't have a weight limit and can store anything even a living being (but in stasis). Its space can be expanded by spending some System Points. 1000 System Points for 1 cubic meter.
Next, Mission Interface, which displays his active Mission.
Other than those listed above, there are some inaccessible Interfaces such as Harem, Base, Shop, Lottery, Guild, World, and Privilege. According to the system's rules, ranking up will unlock a new interface. The details are like this,
- 1★ Harem Junior to unlock Harem
- 1★ Harem Senior to unlock Base
- 1★ Harem Lord to unlock Shop
- 1★ Harem King to unlock Lottery
- 1★ Harem Emperor to unlock Guild
- 1★ Harem Sovereign to unlock World
- 1★ Harem God to unlock Privilege
"Can you tell something about those locked Interfaces?"
[The level of clearance isn't enough.]
"Figures." Ryan pouts.
Afterward, Ryan checks the process of creating the Trial World. He discovers that it's almost completed. When finished, he hears the system's reports.
[The Trial World's Construction Process has completed. The Host shall be sent to The Trial World in... 5... 4...]
"Alright! It's my time to shine! I'm going to be the Harem Supreme that will make Issei Hyoudou die from overloading envy!"
Ryan declares while doing a gut pose. He knows that he's being a drama queen, but it can be helped. He's brimming with excitement and anticipation.
It's truly his time to shine, to make his dream become true, and to be something more!
[2... 1... The Host is transferred to the destination Good Luck!]
Right after that, Ryan blacks out.
