My Succubus Harem System In The Reverse World

I sat in the car beside Jenna, watching the city blur past the window.

The hover vehicle moved smoothly through the upper traffic lanes, but my leg still bounced against the seat.

I hadn’t slept well. The headache from last night was gone, but the weight of the simulation sat heavy in my chest.

Jenna glanced at me, then reached over and patted my knee once.

"You scared?"

I kept my eyes on the glass.

"And if I am?"

"Then nothing." Her voice was steady, almost casual.

"This is nothing but a test. No one’s going to expel you for failing a first simulation. The board wants to see how you move under pressure, not whether you clear the floor perfectly."

She was surprisingly good at comforting.

The same woman who had looked at me last night and told me I couldn’t belong to just one person was now speaking like a calm instructor.

"You said the gates are unstable."

"They were never stable."

Jenna’s tone didn’t change.

"Nobody expects a miracle to suddenly appear and solve everything. You are just one of the few males left in a world that needs them. That alone makes you special. But being special by name and actually doing something to fulfill that name are two different things."

Before I could answer, she reached across the seat, caught the front of my shirt, and pulled me toward her. Her mouth met mine in a short, firm kiss.

It wasn’t soft. It wasn’t long. It was deliberate.

When she pulled back, her eyes stayed on mine.

"Don’t forget," she said.

"Even if you lose, I’m not letting you go."

I stared at her for a second, dumbfounded. The words settled deeper than I expected.

"Okay," I finally said. "Let’s do this."

Jenna smiled, small and sharp, as the car descended toward the guild building.

We entered through a side entrance and took a private elevator to the upper floors. Mira was already waiting in the observation corridor, tablet in hand, glasses reflecting the soft blue light of the displays.

"How many teams?" Jenna asked.

"Competing today? Five."

Mira didn’t look up from the screen.

"All first-time groups. Two from sector 3, one from a mid-tier guild, and two independent. Your boy is in Team Four."

Jenna turned to me.

"Go change. The simulation happens in this room."

I was led to a small prep room. The suit waiting for me was black, form-fitting, and denser than regular combat gear. It covered every major joint and vital point, with a metallic plate that settled against my chest once I sealed it.

A soft pulse ran through the material as it synced with my core. It felt like wearing a second skin that breathed with me.

When I stepped back into the main chamber, the scale of the place hit me. The room was large and dimly lit, closer to a small theater than a training hall.

A massive curved screen dominated the far wall.

Four reinforced seats sat in a row facing it, each equipped with a neural helmet and restraint harness. Three of the seats were already occupied.

The girls wore the same black simulation suits. All three had their helmets on and were already jacked into the system, bodies relaxed in the kind of stillness that meant their minds were elsewhere.

I couldn’t see their faces clearly through the visors, but the outlines were sharp, one tall and broad-shouldered, one lean and compact, one somewhere in between.

Jenna stepped up beside me and spoke in a low voice only I could hear.

"They’re your teammates."

I didn’t answer.

"Prettier than Gianna?"

Still no answer.

I didn’t know how she could ask that so casually right before I stepped into a combat simulation.

The question sat in the air between us like a test of its own.

I moved to the empty seat and sat down. The restraints locked softly around my wrists and ankles. A technician checked the seals, then lowered the helmet over my head.

[Initialising Simulation...]

[Obtaining Neurological Status...]

The world went dark for half a second.

Jenna’s voice came through the internal comm, clear and close.

"Remember, Rev. No dying."

"Of course."

The helmet sealed with a click. The darkness peeled away.

Rough stone pressed against my boots.

The air was damp and carried a faint mineral smell.

Greenish water trickled down the cave walls in thin streams, glowing faintly under some unseen light source.

The ceiling was low in places, forcing me to keep my head slightly ducked. Distant drips echoed through the tunnels.

It felt real. Too real.

The suit translated every sensation with ruthless accuracy: the chill of the air, the uneven ground, the faint vibration of something moving deeper in the cave system.

A voice called from behind me, sharp and slightly annoyed.

"It’s you."

I turned around.

Three women stood a few meters away, already geared and waiting like they had been there the whole time.

The first one caught my eye immediately.

Silver hair, cropped short and uneven, almost white under the simulation lights.

Pale skin, lean and compact body, wiry rather than soft. Every line of her posture looked economical, like she never wasted a single movement.

Her eyes were the strangest part.

Completely white. No iris, no pupil, just pure, milky white. She wasn’t wearing any cover or bandages.

She just stood there with them open, staring in my general direction without actually seeing me.

A scar ran from her left temple down to her jaw, pale and deliberate, the kind of mark that didn’t come from a random fight.

Is she fucking blind?

The second one stood slightly apart.

Tall, all coiled muscle and sharp angles. Jet-black hair pulled into a severe braid that looked like it never came loose even mid-fight.

Dark, narrow eyes that gave away nothing. Faint burn-scarring ran along one forearm, and she didn’t bother covering it.

She wore minimal, practical combat leathers, no ornamentation, nothing that could be grabbed. She looked like she was already three steps ahead of the room and didn’t care if anyone noticed.

The third was different.

Warm brown skin, dark curls pulled loosely back with a few strands escaping around her face. Soft amber eyes that already held a permanent hint of amusement.

Not lean-athletic like the others, softer, more lived-in, comfortable in her own skin.

Freckles scattered across her nose and shoulders.

She dressed a little more casually, sleeves pushed up as if she had just finished doing something with her hands.

What a mess of a team.
