The ornate ceiling swam into Jake's vision, a dizzying array of gold leaf and intricate carvings. This wasn't his cramped, poster-laden bedroom back in… where exactly was back? His last coherent memory was thinking. "I need to get stronger to survive, and live how I want. And maybe , just maybe, a harem is possible in this world.
He pushed himself up in the ridiculously plush bed, the silk sheets whispering against his skin. This wasn't just a nice bed; it was the kind of bed kings probably complained about for being too comfortable. The room itself was vast, a miniature palace of polished wood, velvet drapes that blocked out the morning sun with impressive efficiency, and antique furniture that looked like it belonged in a museum, not a bedroom.
A nagging sense of déjà vu tickled the back of his mind. This opulence, the specific layout… it felt strangely familiar, like a half-remembered dream. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, his bare feet sinking into the thick, patterned carpet. As he stood, a translucent blue screen flickered into existence before his eyes.

A wave of disorientation washed over him, quickly followed by a surge of… excitement? This was real? He had a Gamer System for a sec he thought everything was just a dream? The stat distribution was depressingly average, except for that suspiciously high Luck and Cha stat.The "Multiverse Gacha"? Was this some kind of insane isekai scenario?
Then, the familiarity hit him like a rogue truck. The mansion, the opulent decor… it clicked. This was the Amagi estate from Princess Lover! And he was… Teppei Arima? No, the system clearly stated "Jake [Protagonist]." so Had he somehow replaced him?
He cautiously navigated the massive room, finding a walk-in closet filled with impeccably tailored suits and a bathroom that could rival his old apartment in size. As he stared at his reflection – a reasonably handsome young man with slightly messy black hair and sharp eyes – another menu popped up.

waving away the notifications,Kaito stared, dumbfounded. This was insane. He was in the world of Princess lover! Mixed with who knows what else in the hardest mode which is nightmare, with a gaming system cobbled together from Fate stay night/Grand Order, and a Taimanin gacha with other animes on top of it? His poor, otaku brain was struggling to keep up. One thing was clear: his life had just taken a dramatically weird turn.
A series of sharp knocking on his door which sounded both polite and precise jolted from his deep thoughts.
He needed to get a grasp of his surroundings. With a deep breath, engaging [Gamer's Mind] to quell the rising tide of panic, Jake decided to face his new reality. He needed to understand what was happening and, more importantly, figure out how to survive this bizarre situation.
Master Jake?" a stern voice called from beyond the door, the tone sounded both deferential and rough all at once.It was like one of the many butlers or maids currently present in the house.
Two more gentle raps on the door finally prompted him to reply shakingly yes im awake who is it he asked hoping that the nervous timber in his voice wasn't noticable?".
It's me ryuji young master jake,the firm voice replied" while entering his room followed promptly by two small children girls that looked to be roughly the same age as Jake.
Ahem! Good morning young master my name is ryujin ryosake", said the Butler with a low bow towards Jake and these these two girls right beside me are ;yuu fujikura and Anri,with both girls bowing slightly as they were introduced.
Starting today they are both your personal maids who will serve and complete every task u assign to them with total devotion young master he added" quickly gathering my courage I asked where my grandfather was?".
"With him replying that isshin-sama lives in another mansion in Tokyo Japan which is was apparently closer to where the headquarters of the arima congleramte was located.
I found it strange that I had to live alone on the outskirts of town with only the maid and Butler's as company but according to ryujin this was done intentionally by isshin Arima.. I mean my grandfather... Firstly it was to protect me from the public eyes for a little while something that I was honestly thankful for and secondly, so that I could build up my self and be independent for a little while before I would eventually success him, that was why apart from a few numbers of maids the rest were heading back to join my Gramps in Tokyo, he wanted me to build my force and minimal interference so that I could grow".
Jake ventured out of the mansion, the sheer size of the estate making him feel like an ant in a 12 acres long manicured garden. The sun was shining, the air was fresh, and the meticulously trimmed hedges seemed to mock his inner turmoil. According to the half-digested memories that seemed to be surfacing of princess lover and the– remnants of Teppei's life, perhaps? – he was now the heir to a significant fortune, thrust into a world of high society and, apparently, potential romance with several… well, princesses.
The thought was both ludicrous and, thanks to his Gamer System, oddly gamified. It felt like the setup for some ridiculously convoluted dating sim with permadeath if he chose the wrong dialogue option.
He decided a neutral, public space would be a good starting point to observe this world. Which turned out to be a nearby park, the memories suggested, was a popular spot. As he walked along the pristine paths leading away from the estate, he idly focused on his stat screen again.
Kaito [Protagonist]
Race:?????
0/100
Level: 1
He frowned for now there was no obvious way to level up. Maybe it was tied to actions he took in this world? Completing objectives, forming relationships… the possibilities were endless and overwhelming.
Reaching the park, Kaito was immediately struck by the vibrant atmosphere. Families were picnicking, children were laughing on the playground, and the gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers. It looked like any normal, peaceful park. Except…
Wait, was that… leaning against a tree, a girl with striking purple hair and Kaito's inner otaku perked up. She looked incredibly familiar.
As he got closer, another figure caught his eye near the swings. A petite girl with long, flowing blonde hair, looking slightly out of place in what seemed like rather formal attire, was watching the other children with a wistful expression. He could have sworn he'd seen her in… countless doujinshi?
His [Gamer's Mind] kicked in, overriding the initial fanboy excitement. This wasn't just a random gathering of anime tropes. He was in an anime world, or at least a world heavily influenced by them. And his Gamer System suggested he could interact with elements from other anime worlds as well.
Deciding on a low-risk approach, Kaito headed towards the playground. Children were always a good neutral ground, right? As he approached, he saw a small boy struggling to climb up a slide. another jolt of recognition.
This was surreal. He was surrounded by characters that had previously only existed on screens and pages. What was he supposed to do? Act normal? Pretend he didn't recognize them?
Taking a deep breath, Kaito approached the struggling boy. "Hey there," he said gently. "Need a hand?"
While using the first most skill that most gamers had and used in the beginning.
Observe lv1.
A skill used to view the details and information of objects ,skills ,people and place scales with the users levels inefficientive on higher lv individuals strong than the user.
Observe Jake thought.
The little boy looked up, his face red with effort. He nodded shyly. Kaito offered him a boost, and the boy scrambled up the slide with a giggle.
"Thank you, mister!" The boy say while running to join the other kids he exclaimed, beaming.
"No problem," Kaito replied, feeling a sliver of normalcy in this utterly bizarre situation. A blue screen had appeared in front of him immediately as he used his skill and it showed as; Haruta
Race:human
Rep:10/100, acquittance, nice
Before I could check anything else I was interrupted.
A chubby but cute green-haired girl approached, her large eyes filled with gratitude. "Oh, thank you so much! Haruta here can be a bit… adventurous." Her voice was bright and bubbly, just like he'd imagined. She looked familiarly and he recognized her from somewhere:Rio inami. What was she doing here?
"[Gamer's Mind]," Kaito reminded himself. Don't freak out. Act natural. "He seemed determined," he said with an awkward smile. "Kids have that spirit."
Rio giggled, a surprisingly high-pitched sound. "You're right about that! I'm Rio, by the way. That little rascal is my friend, he's a handful."
"Jake," he replied, offering a hand. Meiko's grip was surprisingly strong.
As they chatted, Kaito subtly scanned the playground. The blonde girl from before was still watching from a distance alone. The purple-haired one hadn't moved from her tree. It was like a bizarre crossover episode he'd never asked for.
Suddenly, a soccer ball rolled towards them, narrowly missing Haruta. A young man with messy brown hair and perpetually tired eyes jogged over. "Sorry about that!" he said, picking up the ball. He looked vaguely familiar, like a background character from… everything?
"No worries," Jake said.
The tired-looking man nodded and was about to leave when Rio chirped, "Ara, Sugisaki-san! Fancy meeting you here."
Sugisaki… Kei Sugisaki from Seitokai no Ichizon. Another one. This was getting ridiculous.
Sugisaki blinked, then offered a polite smile. "Inami-san. Enjoying the park with your friends he asked?".
Jake realized something crucial. These characters weren't just random cameos. They were living their lives here, in this world he'd somehow stumbled into. He wasn't an observer; he was now part of their reality.
He also noticed something else. As he interacted with these individuals he recognized, a faint notification flickered at the edge of his vision, too fleeting to read clearly. Was it some kind of relationship tracker?
The blonde girl near the swings finally seemed to gather her courage and slowly walked towards them alone with the other purple haired girl. Her elegant dress looked even more out of place up close. She had an almost ethereal beauty, with large, blue eyes that held a hint of sadness.
She stopped a few feet away, her gaze darting between Jake, Rio, and Sugisaki. She seemed hesitant to speak.
"[Gamer's Mind]," Kaito repeated internally. Approach carefully. "Hello," he said gently, offering a friendly smile. "It's a lovely day for the park, isn't it?"
The girl's eyes widened slightly. She clutched a small, worn teddy bear to her chest. "Y-yes," she whispered, her voice soft and melodic. "It is."
He felt another flicker of recognition, stronger this time. The blonde hair, the formal attire, the air of gentle melancholy… this had to be Charlotte Dunois from Infinite Stratos. What in the multiverse was going on?
Over the next hour, Kaito found himself in a surreal conversation with Rio, Sugisaki, and, eventually, the shy Charlotte and sakura. Rio's boisterous personality and Sugisaki's dry wit created an interesting dynamic, and Charlotte and sakura, though initially reserved, slowly started to open up, sharing her quiet observations about the park.
Jake played the part of the polite stranger, carefully avoiding any mention of his sudden appearance or the fact that he knew far more about them than he should. He focused on making normal conversation, playing games like kids their age were suppose to, while asking about their day, the weather, anything to establish a baseline of normalcy in this incredibly abnormal situation.
Each interaction seemed to trigger those fleeting notifications in his peripheral vision. He tried to focus, but they vanished too quickly. Was he gaining some kind of… affinity? Friendship points? It was all so game-like, yet undeniably real.
As the afternoon wore on, His inner fanboy was screaming, but [Gamer's Mind] kept him grounded..
Back at the mansion that evening, after a surprisingly awkward dinner with the seemingly few ever-present butlers and maids along with you fujikura and Anri who he barely remembered from the Princess Lover lore, Kaito found himself staring at his Gamer System again.
Kaito [Protagonist]
Level: 1
He still had no idea how to level up or gain any of the resources he desperately needed, like those elusive [Summoning Stones]. He scrolled through the Taimanin Gacha menu, the images of the alluring female ninjas mocking his zero currency.
Frustration gnawed at him. He was in this ridiculously opulent setting, surrounded by characters from all sorts of anime worlds, and he was completely powerless. He couldn't even summon a single unit to help him figure things out.
Suddenly, a thought struck him. What if… what if interacting with these characters in the real world had some kind of in-game effect? Those fleeting notifications…
He focused his intent, trying to access any information related to his interactions at the park. The blue screen flickered, and a new menu popped up:
Relationships:
* Rio inami: Acquaintance (Minor Positive Affinity)30/100
* Kei Sugisaki: Acquaintance (Neutral Affinity)9/100
* Charlotte Dunois: Acquaintance (Slight Positive Affinity)19/100
Sakura Tohsaka:Acquaintance(positive affinity)40
Below this list, a new notification blinked insistently:
New Quest Alert!
Quest: A Budding Friendship
Objective: Increase your Affinity with at least three individuals to "Friend" status.
Reward: 100 x Summoning Stone,1000 Saint quartez.
Jake stared at the screen, a grin slowly spreading across his face. So that was how it worked! His interactions in the real world were directly tied to his Gamer System. This was more than just being in an anime world; it was like playing a bizarre, high-stakes life sim.
He immediately thought back to Charlotte, the shy blonde girl. He had a feeling building a stronger connection with her wouldn't be too difficult. And Rio's boisterous nature made interaction easy. Sugisaki seemed more reserved, but a neutral affinity was a start.
As he contemplated his next move, another notification flashed on the screen, this one unexpected:
Congratulations! Due to unforeseen circumstances and the Protagonist's unique integration with the Multiverse Gacha system, you have received a one-time bonus!
Item Received: 100 x Summoning Stone and 2000 Saint quartez.
Jake's eyes widened. Unforeseen circumstances? His sudden replacement of Teppei, perhaps? Whatever the reason, he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
His heart pounded with anticipation. He had one shot. One chance to summon a unit from the Taimanin world. He navigated back to the Gacha menu, his finger hovering over the "Single Summon" button.
Sakura Igawa (Rate Up), Asagi igawa, Annerose, ingrid, miuzuki shiranui,Rinko akinyama, shizue, Rinko Kamijo. Kirara Himeki… which one would he get? Which one could potentially help him navigate this insane new reality?
Taking a deep breath, Kaito tapped the button. The screen flashed 10x, a swirling vortex of colors appearing before solidifying into a single image of three women. A woman with long, Brown hair falling between her eyes, warm brown eyes, and clad in… well, not much, stared back at him.
Unit Summoned: Mizuki shiranui (Taimanin World)
Followed by a figure of a woman with long black free flowing hair with hints of blue in it, dark eyes and a slender yet altheletic build.
And lastly but not least,
a young teens with a voluptuous and thick body with magenta hair styled in pigtails,with violet eyes.
Below her image, a brief description appeared: A powerful and enigmatic Taimanin with exceptional combat abilities.
Jake stared at the screen, his mind racing. He had summoned a unit. A real, live, (mostly) naked ninja from another universe. What in the world was he supposed to do now fuck....?
