The Contract Bride of Mr. Reid - Chapter 206: The doubts

[Warning: r18, smut, MC does morally questionable things][Disclaimer: The Gods and Goddesses in the story's world have absolutely no relation to any Gods that are worshipped in the real world. The purpose they serve is also entirely different.]~Even if you're someone who typically doesn't enjoy works with smut, I request you to give this novel a chance (provided you're 18 or older of course). It would be awesome if you could at least read Volume 1 before deciding whether or not this is your cup of tea.~This is an action + kingdom-building story where the MC and his kingdom (Realm) are metaphorically powered by his lustful acts.The story begins with Hiro's (the MC) transmigration into a magical world. At first glance, this “World” might look quite similar to many other fantasy worlds that you've come across on your reading adventures. Status screens, levels, classes, gods, kingdoms, elves - all that good stuff.But it will soon become clear that this World has its own “Rules”. These (mostly) game-like Rules will bring out unique character interactions. They will be what differentiates the World in my story from other similar fantasy worlds.Now about the characters - specifically the main character.The MC (Hiro) will be thrust into the role of Ruler in the new World right off the bat. He starts with a bottom-tier, barebones realm and makes his way to the top.I'm going to say this right away - Hiro is a deeply flawed character at the start. Yes he might be overpowered and good at getting things he wants, but that does not make him flawless.Hiro has glaring emotional flaws at the beginning. He is intelligent but not in the emotional sense. He is lustful but not truly loving. He is apathetic towards death (both of himself and of others).The women who surround him will also have their own problems, both internal and external.As the story progresses, it won't just be the MC and his realm growing in power.Hiro and his harem will also mature emotionally. Hiro's character growth will be a slow, grueling burn. It isn't going to be a smooth straight line from point A to point B.But when it finally does happen, it will be worth it.That's all from me, your author. I hope you enjoy the ride.P.S - Power stones, golden tickets, gifts, adding this to library, reviews, comments, paragraph comments - all these things help immensely and are greatly appreciated.Thanks and Enjoy! :)

Yet again, Earthlings were summoned.A dying Time God, already half-corrupted, descended upon Earth with nothing but a single, blinking eye. No body. No mercy. Before he could explain why the other world was collapsing—or what happened—he died.The chosen were cursed.Each Earthling aged from 12 to 60 was reincarnated into another world.Each was trapped in an isolated time loop.Each was abandoned without answers.Ganesh chose to reincarnate as the weakest race imaginable: a slime.Not for survival—but because the system offered him a trait, very powerful:Eternal Mastery [Mythic].With every death, his body reset.With every loop, his masteries, learned techniques, and pain carried over.He awakened in a slime farm, where slimes were bred like cattle, harvested for food, and burned alive for amusement. He learned quickly.He died quickly.Again.And again.And again.Across loops, Ganesh experimented with his own existence—Fire Slime {Uncommon}. Water Slime {Uncommon}. Acid Slime {Uncommon}.Elemental Slime {Rare+}. Spirit Slime {Legendary}.Dragon Slime {Mythic}.Even Primordial Slime {Divine}.But strength revealed truth.Humans had erased their own history using sealed artifacts.Demons were branded as betrayers.Gods fought unholy beings elsewhere—leaving their failures behind.Beneath ruined cities and sealed fortresses, eldritch creatures waited—Rituals granted power along with a curse.Artifacts erased wills.Faith was devoured before it could bloom.And the deeper Ganesh went, the clearer it became:The world had lost hope and was corrupted with Eldritch.Even the sun and moon were taken over by Eldritch.Now, as gods fall, timelines fracture, and ancient wars resurface, Ganesh must decide—Will he save the worldOr will he follow the same path…and become something unholy himself?Dark Fantasy • Time Loop • Eldritch Horror • Progression FantasyDaily UpdatesA dark progression fantasy with time loops and psychological erosion (for readers who enjoyed the despair and repetition of Re:Zero).No one 17 and under admitted is due to gore and dark... And an important note, something happens near the end of Arc 3, this is for those who feel limitless loops have no tension....because he can still loop—but every reset tears his soul apart.The truth behind this wound is revealed near the end of Arc Three. {Read it to find out}
