Human World
4th October, 2002
The doctor handed the newborn infant to the Japanese woman. Unlike normal newborns, this little guy didn't cry, not even when the doctor hit his little butt. To the doctor's surprise, the strike felt less like hitting flesh and more like hitting solid metal.
The newborn infant stared back at him with a gaze so unnatural it felt predatory to him. A cold shiver ran down the doctor's spine, his instincts screamed that he had just provoked an entity far beyond his understanding.
His instincts were correct, he had just slapped the little butt of a transmigrate person, who was already having a very bad start for his new life.
Having spent nine months bored in the womb, constantly apologizing to the kami-sama, he had offended in his previous life.
The transmigrate person was finally ready to see the world but instead he was greeted with a slap on his little butt.
'Isn't this unreasonable?' He thought. 'Doesn't a infant have his rights?' having never suffered such an insult in his past life, he decided to punish the ignorant doctor.
He cast a 4th Tier Spell: Aura of Misfortune on the doctor. It was a small punishment for an ignorant person.
In his mother's arms, the little guy smirk. The staff in the room noticed the expression but brushed it off in the age of the internet, they had seen stranger things.
The doctor shook off his unease and turned to the exhausted woman. "Madam, he is a healthy boy. Have you decided on a name for your son?"
The exhausted woman barely looked at the child. "Iruma," she said flatly. "Suzuki, from my husband."
The doctor was taken aback by her casual manner of naming the child.
Upon hearing the name, the newborn now Iruma wore an expression of pure disgust at how nonchalantly the woman had name him. He felt the urge to control her mind to force her to change the name, but he suppressed the impulse.
A certain Kami-sama had whispered to him in the womb that accepting the name 'Iruma' can slightly change his bad luck effect due to the laws of this world.
The name would act as a buff against his bad luck which he have gained from kami-sama in his previous life which felt nothing more than useless plot in his opinion.
But he wasn't foolish enough to gamble his new life on such a small thing. So, he didn't control this woman to change his name.
"Honey, look. He already looks so mature," a hoarse voice sounded from his right side. It was a middle-aged man none other than Iruma's new father. "I bet he can start earning his own money by the time he's six months old."
'Is this man an idiot?' Iruma wondered, then, a realization dawned on him. In the original records of this world, the 'original' Iruma was forced to work by the age of one.
Given the curse of bad luck bestowed upon him by the God he had offended, his situation was unlikely to be better.
He felt a sense of relief, if these two 'good-for-nothing' parents had actually been decent people, he would have doubted he was in the right world.
Too lazy to be bothered by these fools any longer, Iruma closed his eyes and began to call his 'Cheats' the essential tools for any transmigrator.
[Ding!]
[Detected that host has been born Nazarick Harem System Activated.]
[Do you wish to bind with the System, Host?]
'Yes! Yes! Yes!' Iruma screamed in his mind but nothing happened, system didn't write anything which puzzled him.
[The System forgot that the Host is a newborn and was waiting for him to say 'Yes' out loud. My apologies, Host.]
Iruma was speechless. He wanted to curse the system, but his past life had taught him patience. He simply stared at the ceiling with lifeless, weary eyes.
[Are you there Host?]
'Yes' Iruma replied with a bitter smile in his mind, and thought why was he so unlucky to provoke kami-sama in trial village.
[So, do you want to bind or not? If you don't, please feel free to say so.]
Iruma immediately changed his tone, adopting the submissive posture of a politician begging for votes. 'Please, legendary System-sama, bind with this humble nobody. I desperately need your guidance in this dangerous world.'
[Then so be it. Kids nowadays are quite polite. Binding complete.]
'System-sama, could you please explain your functions to this insignificant being? I am far too dull to comprehend your depths alone,' Iruma pleaded while the mighty system just ignored him.
Left on his own, Iruma began to browse the interface. He quickly realized the functions were quite si... 'complex.'
The system featured a 'character sheet' where he could view his stats and a lucky spin draw. Each spin cost 1 kg of gold a price Iruma found very reasonable considering his strength.
Even if it were 100 kg per spin, he wouldn't have felt cheated, as the pool included 'YGGDRASIL' items and treasures from the 'New World.'
The rarity tiers ranged from World Class items down to Low Class items. The chance of obtaining a Low-class items had a 90% drop rate, while 100% offered nothing but a 'Better luck next time' message.
Additionally, the mighty system-sama had been generous enough to grant him a Newbie Gift Pack. He hadn't opened it yet, fearing his bad luck would cause him to pull something weird.
He decided he would wait and worship the Kami-sama for a few years before opening it.
However, the final function was what excited him the most 'Harem God'. This feature allowed him and his future wives to gain massive benefits through intimate contact.
It was limited to only 12 slots, and while the details were vague, Iruma firmly believed it was his most powerful function surpassing even the Lucky Spin. He had read enough cultivation novels to know that this specific type of 'cheat' usually made a protagonist unstoppable with 'hard' work.
"Why is he salivating? Is he hungry or something?" Iruma's mother asked with a frown, looking down at her drooling newborn.
"Honey, it's because he wants to grow up quickly so he can help his parents make money! What a good child," his father said, patting the his head.
'Shameless dogs,' Iruma thought, gritting the gums where his teeth had yet to grow. 'If I weren't afraid of ruining the original plot, believe me, your lives would already be worse than death.'
He made a silent vow. 'If I don't make their lives a living hell after I reach the Demon Realm, I will never use the System's strongest function for as long as I live.'
And just like that, the two future most wanted criminals of the Three Realms were marked for their very first crime at the hands of their own son.
