Prologue: The Loser’s Hidden Dominion
"Hey, Deka. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Go to the cafeteria and buy some drinks. Bring back ten silver in change."
...They only gave me five.
A single bill fluttered down onto the desk. The self-proclaimed elites of the academy snickered as they passed, clapping me on the shoulder with casual disdain.
I offered no argument. Beneath the shaggy bangs that hid my eyes, I let a faint smile tug at my lips, silently retrieved the money, and slipped it into my pocket.
Deka. At Raon Academy, where the continent's greatest talents gathered, that was the name they knew me by. My title was nothing more than "F-rank Defective" or "dropout loser."
Yet none of them knew the truth. None of them knew that the errand-running outcast they scorned by day was the world's strongest, the one who erased magic beasts from the rifts threatening the world with a single finger every night.
And there was one more secret they didn't know: if I wished it, I could completely captivate every proud goddess this haughty academy had to offer.
"Haa... Ah, Deka... Mmm..."
Late at night, in the deepest room of the abandoned old school building on the academy's eastern side—a place no one ever visited—Elysia had utterly collapsed into my arms, panting desperately.
By day she reigned over the entire student body as Student Council President, head held high in arrogant supremacy. Now that same woman trembled against me, her breath coming in broken gasps.
The only thing capable of saving her from the cruel curse of Mana Rampage was the overwhelming, warm mana that surged within my body.
I slipped my hand beneath her thin shirt and gently stroked the skin over her racing heart. Each time our flesh met, sublime mana flowed into her. Her purple eyes grew wet and hazy with pleasure and aching need.
"It's just treatment... isn't it? So why... why is my heart pounding like this...?"
"Who can say, President?" I whispered, my voice low and teasing as I cupped her damp cheek. "Could it be the Mana Sync... or perhaps something else entirely?"
During the day she was a noble lady who refused to even glance at a commoner loser like me. Yet the overwhelming power with which I had saved her in her moments of crisis, paired with these tender caresses, had long since shattered her heart beyond repair.
"Haaah...! You liar... You already know everything..."
Tears of resentment glistened in her eyes, yet Elysia only tightened her arms around my neck and pulled me closer, desperately seeking my lips with her own.
I had not subdued her by force. I had conquered both her body and mind so completely that she could no longer live without me.
By day, I was the lowest outcast, despised by everyone. But when night fell, the goddesses of this proud academy would cling to my chest and beg for my love.
Hiding my perfect strength, I became the ruler who devoured their hearts from the deepest depths. Turning the academy that had scorned me into my own personal harem was already nothing more than a game that had just begun.
