To most, the idea of being reincarnated into another world was a mere fantasy.But to you...It was reality.Your name is John Doe, and a few months ago you got hit by a truck. After your death you met Herta, the beautiful (and perverted) Goddess of Artifice. She told you that you needed to pick a cheat skill before she could send you to one of the many generic isekai worlds available."Because that's heavenly policy!" She'd said.But instead of picking between those boring options, you took the Goddess Herself and brought her with you to a world of her own creation.This universe of hers was slapped together with 'tags' and generic fantasy themes. Some might scoff at the abundance of stale tropes and cliched genres, but things were just the way you liked them.Well, you were still getting used to the unfamiliar logic and morality of this brave new world. Beyond being mere ideas that were held by people, these conceits extended deep into cultural thought, sculpting history and even shaping the laws of physics.But that wasn't all this universe had in store: Soldiers, airships, mechs, clockwork robots, walking artillery units, all of these and more marched from their homeland's borders to fight in a neverending skirmish against their enemies.Yet these modern conflicts were petty when compared to the Demon Lord's invasion. So great was that war, that the scars from that era lingered like a thorn on the side. Corruption magic threatened to destroy everything if not purged whenever it was found, despite it being many millennia since the demons were vanquished. This evil magic will grow and fester if no precautions were taken. Thankfully there were many organizations in the world that dealt with these sorts of things.Today, gold poured from the coffers of nations as everyone clamored to get a slice of the goods and weapons available. In spite of the constant wars and battles, commerce flowed through the planet, giving and taking away fortunes in an instant.These realities gave testament to some of this universe's priorities - war, trade, and steampunk tech.And that didn't even mention what is blatantly the most important of this universe's conceits: Slavery. It was a fact of life. Everyone you'd met in this world approved of it and spoke about it like it was the most common thing in the world. Which, in this world's context, made perfect sense.As Freeborn Men are people, thus women and the lower classes are considered property. Although one could argue that slavery in this world was not the same type of chattel slavery that might pop into your mind whenever someone in your old world mentioned the word 'slave'. Providing evidence to support that theory, the Bondage Accords, which are a sort of international agreement most nations adhered to, granted certain protections to the enslaved despite their legal status as objects.
And as odd as it might sound to those unfamiliar with how this universe was run, most slaves found joy in their bonds. You'd go as far as to say that this system of slavery was one of the most important aspects of this world's stability. Slaves, especially slave-wives, are generally happy about their lot in life and would defend the structure of slavery against any that threatened it.You didn't doubt that Herta was to blame for the state of things. Especially since she gave the 'happiness in slavery' tag tons of weight.Apart from that, and apart from what you could expect, like catgirls and elves and giant mechs, this world had elements that weren't too common in most isekai. For example; the male to female ratio was skewed with women making an overwhelming part of the population. It was common practice for Freemen have harems. This was further encouraged by the droves of desperate women that wanted to be under a Master-husband.Again, you knew that a certain perverted goddess caused the world to be organized this way. And if the amount of perverted women you came across was any indication, then Herta's influence on her creation was stronger than she thought. Despite how ignorant she was about the very things she brought into existence, you could safely say that a large chunk of the global population of women looked up to her as an example to be followed.Not that you were complaining. All of these facts were conveniently to your ambitions of having a harem of consenting slave girls. But managing them, in addition to all the other stuff you had to do, could be draining. Sometimes literally.But having their unconditional love and seeing them happy made it all worth it. Not to mention how nice it felt to have a bunch of beauties devote themselves to you.Following classic reincarnation tropes, you decided to get a gaggle of beautiful women to pamper you. There were times, however, when you wondered if you were the one spoiling them instead of the other way around. It was obvious that your presence and attention boosted the morale of your wives, making you suspect that your domineering personality (which caused you problems in your past life) was considered attractive to the women of this world.Whatever the case, you loved all eight of your slave-wives.Being surrounded by people that truly cared about you helped soothe your soul. The constant and unwavering love Herta showered you with cured you of your fears of intimacy. She and the rest of your slaves' affections helped you open up your heart to others again. Even though you'd only been living in this world for a few months your past life felt like a distant memory.Anyway, you considered how far you've come since arriving here. Though you worked hard for this peaceful life, admittedly much of what you had was because of Lunacy Savantae and your status as a Savant.
Most everyone knew about Savants and Lunacy Savantae. Anyone could tell you that it was a rare condition which allowed those under it to understand divine engineering. Savants could build amazing machines, structures, and contraptions using the 'madness of creation' as a guide. It also granted superhuman strength, focus, and stamina while active, and opened up your ability to enchant items almost like an artificer. Since you were already decent at building stuff, it made sense that your Lunacy Savantae increased your talents to an exponential level. Everything created while under Lunacy Savantae's influence was usually difficult to put into words, even though you understood how it worked in your mind. For example, your clockwork soldiers, which you called clankers, were impossible to build with standard engineering. Then there was your pride and joy, the BoatMech, which was a massive mech that was your Bonded Vessel. It was also impossible to explain to non-Savants, although if one was smart enough it was possible to learn how to pilot it. And that didn't even touch the smaller household robots and countless magical artifacts that defied conventional logic. Even Herta's sewing robots proved hard to explain to the average person, despite not being too different from actual sewing machines.Savant or not, you didn't stop your tireless working. You'd make sure your home would be safe for the children you were gonna have.Thanks to your and your wives' efforts, your estate finally had a semblance of security. No longer did you have to worry about goblins, bandits, undead, or the golems that patrolled the dungeon beneath your manor. Even the high level Monster Rooms that gathered around the mountainous periphery of your territory were quashed.Not having anything urgent to worry about was a rare blessing. There wasn't much going on other than preparing to rescue your catgirl's dad, planning your wedding to an elvish princess (that also happened to be a Saintess), and getting rich using your modern day knowledge. So yeah, your secretary could clear your schedule for the time being. You were gonna take it easy.But these moments of peaceful laziness had an expiration date. You were currently scheming against the ugly bastard that forced your feline father in-law to work hard labor in the mines.Also no less relevant was your marriage to that elvish princess. While she was already your slave-wife, you needed her father's blessing. You'd hold your wedding with her once she finished her studies. A private ceremony, that the Goddess of Creation Herself would preside over, was being planned by you and your wives.The time for action was soon approaching, since next week you were gonna meet with your elf wife again in the Centrian City hopefully to clear everything up and bring her to your estate.
And you couldn't forget the meeting you scheduled with your other dad in-law, following up on the aluminum deal you made with the kitsune. Then there was the question of whether you wanted to counter Rostchilde's moves while he was in Centria. And you were also tempted to find out what the hell was going on with the Academy.Your next trip to the City of Merchants was gonna be a busy one, that was certain.Alright, that was enough thinking about the past and the future. Best to focus on the present. It was deep into fall, and the air was getting chilly... what were you doing right now?>Hanging out with Herta and Bertha. You three were chatting about the wedding you and Aila were gonna have. Bertha talked about all the food and pretty clothes she wanted to make for the occasion, while Herta considered a few different things as she thought about the event.>Discussing Continental civilization and magic with Ruby Rose and Yumi. There was some emphasis on Eastia and your findings with the Orb, especially since you and Ruby were scheming against Rostchilde. Yumi was surprisingly knowledgeable when it came to Eastia.>Overseeing the fighting techniques Cattleya and Ayane were working on. Both women even did a few mock battles against each other. They convinced you to referee a few of these fights.>Working with Mel and Gerty. While preparing to build the wall, Gerty used the construction clankers to assemble a temporary obstacle course for Mel. Your Holy Knight assured you that she was gonna consult you before she began building, though you three were talking about what the estate might look like in the future.>(Write-in).
