Primordial Villain With A Slave Harem

Despite having a 'good' job and a decent life, there's something missing. Everything feels like it's on repeat, a loop of similar experiences. I need something more, a challenge, a change, a break from the routine. I've tried to find it in various ways, but nothing seems to stick.

I've tried dating. I was quite successful at it, at least compared to my two friends. I've been on more than two dozen dates after chatting up a few ladies.

After a while I realized that each conversation is a regurgitation of the same themes, just voiced by different faces: complaints about work, frustrations with family, plot of the newest N*tflix show, and vague plans for the future that sound strikingly similar to everyone else's. It's like I'm stuck in a loop, where each interaction blurs into the next, lacking any real spark or depth.

I don't really blame my dating partners, though; it's not like I can offer anything more interesting. The real culprit is the world itself, which is just so overwhelmingly boring.

Career? A 9-to-5 grind that eats away at my soul.

Every day, I'm shackled to a desk in a beige-walled office, surrounded by the clatter of keyboards and the hum of fluorescent lights. The monotony is suffocating. My power tripping boss is a constant presence, perpetually breathing down my neck to make sure I don't forget my place in the pecking order. I utterly detest every second of it.

Sure, it pays the bills, but at what cost? My time, energy, individuality and joy- my life.

I want to be my own boss. I want to explore and go on adventures. I want to meet unique, interesting women. I want power, personal might.

I've always been drawn to stories where personal strength leads to something more than just a routine existence. Worlds where people can change their destinies through sheer determination and skill.

And I don't mean it like Ainz, getting straight-up teleported into a level 100 avatar with a devoted cast of servants. I don't need that. Or rather, I don't want that. I want to achieve everything with my own strength. Even if it has a high possibility of me dying in a ditch, I would still jump at the chance to try myself.

Oh, there's a puddle in front of me. I have to go around it, or my Kobe 'Black Mamba' edition sneakers will get wet. Eh, fuck it. I'm very moody at the moment anyways.

I step into it, expecting a splash. Instead, the ground gives way beneath my feet, and I fall.

I keep falling.

Why am I falling?! It was a small puddle made of rainwater! How is this possible?!

Wait! This is just too much of a coincidence. I just wished to be taken to a different world, and immediately afterward, this illogical shit happens? There's no way you can convince me that this isn't related!

My excitement subsides as I start drowning. I'm in a puddle of water, after all. Well, I say water, but is it really water? It's black, and now that I think about it, the texture is way different. Slimy and a lot less liquidy, almost solid.

[Quest: survive through the agonizing pain for a minute.]

[Reward: ???]

System! Is this really happening?!

All I asked for was a chance, and albeit very random and dangerous, I did receive it. I will not fumble it.

One minute?

Easy.

As soon as I say that, I puke blood. My organs are bleeding. My bones are breaking. My skin is tearing.

So the quest wasn't as simple as I had thought. Fuck me. This pain is agonizing. I'm just a normal guy; throwing such a challenge at me without warning is just plain cruel.

I try to scream, but nothing comes out.

I can't move any of my limbs because all my bones are getting pulverized.

I can't see because my eyes literally melted.

I can't even feel the slimy texture because my skin peeled off from my muscles.

Speaking of muscles, they are also getting torn to shreds.

Something is wrong with my brain too; it feels all mushy. Let's not even mention my heart; it's like a thousand needles are piercing it.

How am I still conscious? How am I still alive?

I don't know. I don't understand. All I can do is try to survive.

I grit my now nonexistent teeth and bear with it all. I asked for this. Well, something like this. I asked for a world of the supernatural. I'm clearly getting it, albeit in a very twisted way.

Visions flash through my mind, glimpses of a world far beyond my imagination. Towering mountains crowned with ice, dense forests teeming with life, and ancient ruins whispering secrets long forgotten. A world ripe for exploration, brimming with potential and peril.

Amidst the chaos, memories surface unbidden. My parents' faces, their kind smiles and words of encouragement. I hope no one will capitalize on their warm hearts to scam them. I hope my two nerdy friends will finally get some puss. God knows they need it.

Unknown amount of time passes. Seconds, minutes, hours? I can't tell. The pain is finally subsiding. I no longer hear tearing and breaking anywhere. I can move my arm around.

I can feel my legs. My feet are planted on solid ground.

The darkness begins to recede, replaced by a dim light that grows steadily brighter. Shapes take form, and I find myself standing in a vast, open space, the air crisp and clear. The sky above is a deep, endless blue, dotted with unfamiliar constellations.

[You've succeeded in completing the quest.]

[You've been reborn as a primordial]
