The back row by the window is the king’s hometown.
This joking phrase, widely circulated in the 2D community, was currently coming true for Haruto, who was sitting in the very last row.
Haruto lay bored on his desk, his gaze wandering toward the female teacher, Katsuko-sensei, who was lecturing on the podium.
She had a graceful figure, and her long, glossy black hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall.
Her exquisite makeup paired with a perfectly fitted professional suit showcased the Charm of a mature woman to the fullest.
However, at this moment, Haruto had no heart to appreciate this beautiful scenery; his thoughts were trapped in a state of chaos.
Not long ago, his life had undergone an earth-shattering change—he had transmigrated and arrived in this absurd world.
Just a second ago, he was comfortably nestled in his cozy little home, fully concentrated on playing an eroge, his fingers tapping nimbly on the keyboard, immersed in the virtual happiness the game provided.
But the next second, after a dizzying spin, he regained his senses to find himself already inside this unfamiliar and eerie classroom.
The more Haruto looked at the female teacher, Katsuko-sensei, who was talking incessantly on the podium, the more familiar she seemed.
Memories flooded in like a tide, and he suddenly remembered—wasn’t this the classic character from the old hentai ‘Netorare Ochita Onnatachi – Female Teacher’?
That unique makeup and signature hairstyle perfectly overlapped with the images in his memory.
Besides Katsuko-sensei, among the female classmates in his class, he also spotted many ‘familiar’ faces at a glance.
For example, the female seatmate sitting to his right had long, deep purple hair that looked dreamlike, shimmering with a charming luster under the sunlight.
This was clearly Shinomiya Natsuha from ‘When the Hydrangeas Wither.’ With such a unique hair color, it was hard to mistake her.
Then there was the black-haired girl in the front row who always sat quietly in her seat, somewhat taciturn.
Haruto carefully scrutinized her profile and thought to himself: if he wasn’t mistaken, she should be Nonohara Yuzuka from ‘Nonohara Yuzuka’s Secret Live Stream.’
Not only that, but even more familiar faces surfaced in the classroom one by one.
The one always wearing a hint of a seductive smile was Nanao Akane from ‘Picking the Polluted Akane’; the one with eyes full of agility was Miyajima Sakura from ‘Hypnotic Guidance’; and that pair of inseparable sisters were naturally Chizuru and Chisato from ‘Development Diary.’
There were many other girls who looked very familiar, but Haruto couldn’t think of their names for the moment.
“Good God!” Haruto couldn’t help but wail in his heart.
“Is this world some kind of collection of hentai and doujinshi? How could so many characters from classic works be gathered here?”
Aside from these familiar doujinshi or hentai characters, there was another thing that was hard to ignore.
In Haruto’s line of sight, a mysterious icon was floating.
Actually, Haruto had noticed this peculiar icon earlier.
At that time, he was distracted by the sudden transmigration, and with an inadvertent glance, he saw this thing floating in the air.
Out of curiosity, he tried to focus his thoughts on the icon.
In an instant—
[Ding-dong!]
A crisp and pleasant sound rang in Haruto’s mind, and immediately after, the icon opened like a browser on a computer, and a complete panel appeared clearly before his eyes.
The information on the panel was clear at a glance:
Name: Haruto
Class: Harem King
Level: L.1
Equipment: None
Skills: None
Looking at the ‘1’ displayed in the level column, a strong sense of unease welled up in Haruto’s heart.
“Only level 1?”
Also, what did this ‘Harem King’ class mean?
It sounded quite impressive, but this level 1 status made him feel uncertain.
Haruto’s brow furrowed, his heart filled with doubt, and various thoughts flew through his mind.
No, wait…
Before transmigrating, the eroge he was playing at home seemed to be called ‘Harem King.’
That was a game aimed at collecting women and building a large harem.
In the game, he relied on various means to take many beauties into his possession, living an enviably happy life.
“As I thought!”
Haruto cried out in his heart, as if he suddenly understood something.
“Did I bring that game along as a cheat after transmigrating?”
While he was immersed in his thoughts, a series of prompt messages appeared on the panel again:
[Current Level L.1…]
[A Newbie Gift Pack has been issued for you…]
[Opening the Newbie Gift Pack can grant class skills. By taking women into your harem and raising your ‘Harem King’ level, you can obtain more skills…]
[Open the Newbie Gift Pack immediately?]
“Open!” Haruto made his choice decisively without any hesitation.
In his view, since he had already transmigrated to this strange world and possessed such a cheat, there was nothing to worry about.
Perhaps this was his chance to change his fate.
[Newbie Gift Pack opened!]
[You have obtained the skill: ‘Charm’]
[Note: The favorability of all female characters toward you will skyrocket; they will not feel ill will toward you, and their feelings of love will be significantly enhanced…]
[You have obtained the skill: ‘Sturdy’]
[Note: As a Harem King, you can’t do without a good body. Your various physical attributes have reached the peak level for an ordinary human…]
[You have obtained the skill: ‘Handsome’]
[Note: Surpassing Daniel Wu and Andy Lau, your handsomeness is at the peak of humanity. You are the man among men, the manliest of men…]
Looking at these skill descriptions, Haruto couldn’t help but feel a surge of wild joy.
Favorability, plus individual strength, plus a Handsome appearance—this was simply an invincible combination!
With these skills, wouldn’t he be able to walk tall in this world?
“Thud! Click—”
Before Haruto could recover from his ecstasy, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.
The sudden noise briefly calmed his joyful heart.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a blonde gyaru standing at the door, her body swaying.
She was wearing fashionable and sexy clothes, revealing her fair and slender legs, with a hint of a casual smile on her face.
“Sorry, Katsuko-sensei~” The blonde gyaru’s voice was sweet and seductive.
“It’s Kurashiki Reina. Today is the first day of school, and you’re already late!” Katsuko-sensei said with some displeasure, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.
“I’m so sorry, Katsuko-sensei, there was a traffic jam on the way!”
Kurashiki Reina put her hands together, making a pitiful appearance and speaking coquettishly.
“Go back to your seat quickly,” Katsuko-sensei patted the podium somewhat helplessly, then turned her gaze toward Haruto’s direction: “Speaking of which, an international student from China will be joining our class starting today. So, Sawamura-san, please come up and introduce yourself.”
