I Wanted a 2D Harem Isekai, Got a Rule-Horror Game

Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair! .... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.

SYSTEM AWENKENING:THE OMNIVERSE SYSTEM

In a world where superpowers lurk in the shadows, Kai Harlan is just a tired warehouse worker scraping by in the bustling city of Nexus Prime. At 22, his life is ordinary—until a mysterious prompt changes everything: "DO YOU WANT TO BIND WITH THE OMNIVERSE SYSTEM? YES/NO?" Kai says yes, binding his soul to a multiverse-level framework that only he can access. No one else sees the glowing notifications, stats, or quests. With boosted intelligence, perception, and abilities like Interface Manipulation and Rule Bending, he gains an edge. But power comes with secrets. The System offers a Shop for infinite boosts, purchasable with Points earned from quests, USD exchanges, or rare Essence Stones—mysterious crystals monopolized by a hidden elite society called The Veil Syndicate. As Kai levels up, he uses his gifts to turn luck into wealth. Trading stocks, fixing anomalies, and bending rules, he builds a business empire from scratch. Along the way, he meets Lena, his first love, and two more girlfriends who become his pillars of support. Together, they face betrayals, form alliances, and start a family—Kai's child with Lena born during his rise, followed by more after he marries his wives post-empire. But the world hides dangers. Superpower users like Awakeners, Cultivators, Mutants, Hackers, and Shamans control the Syndicate, erasing traces and blending into high society. Rumors of "Illuminati-like" elites circulate, but normals know nothing. Kai encounters them as he climbs, disrupting their monopoly and sparking conflicts. An energy breakout shatters reality, awakening masses and plunging the world into chaos. Seizing the moment, Kai—now the unchallenged #1—forges an empire with advanced tech and loyal subordinates. He conquers his planet, battling rebellions and Syndicate remnants. Then, the galaxy calls, with star systems and alien threats. Finally, the universe itself, hinting at multiverse-level entities.
