Overluck MC

Rena's PoV

I'm Rena Kirisaki. I was formerly a technical staff working for United Women or UW for short. I'm one of the personnel in charge of monitoring the five men in cryostasis who are immune to the Male-killer Virus, or also called as MK Virus.

Despite the drastic change caused by MK Virus, I was able to adapt and preserve my livelihood. When UW was searching for people with medical knowledge, technical knowledge, and experience, I quickly applied. My first job is to take care of the cryostasis of the men who are inflicted with the MK Virus to preserve their lives.

It goes without saying that the job is hard. I have been manipulating machines all day long. My only sleep was for only thirty minutes a day. Patients kept coming in so fast that I've lost count of them. Personnel like me are also in charge to monitor patients in shifts, which gave me a breather.

Sometimes, there are patients reaching critical condition, so we will treat the symptoms as we wait for the doctors. There are times that I'm handling multiple patients as I wait for doctors. All I do is my job in order to live. There's no enthusiasm on me. It's more like I'm a machine performing the algorithm programmed to me. Am I truly struggling to survive, to live?

I don't know anymore. Do my job, that's the only thing in my mind.

During my work, I stumble on information that I thought was just random. As I dig upon the information, I discovered something horrible. MK Virus is not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster. What I call it is of no matter, MK Virus is indeed a disaster that currently endangers mankind since it killed off the males who are needed for the population.

As soon as someone detected me, they sent people to chase after me. One of the people I remember chasing me was Chloe Mansfield. To shake off my pursuers, I lured them into an abandoned house which I rigged with my improvised explosives. I was planning to take them down as I escape, but I was also caught up in the explosion.

I barely survived. Flames from the explosion burnt some parts of my body and my clothes are in tatters. I discarded my clothes since it was my uniform at work which makes me easy to identify. I used a ragged cloth as a cloak or something to cover myself.

And it's been three days after shaking my pursuers. I just noticed that not only my body parts that are burnt, I also have serious internal injuries. It's a coincidence that I lasted this long. But I noticed this too late. I cannot move, I'm starving, thirsty, and hallucinating. My vision is blurred and I can't even speak.

Perhaps, I will die any time soon. No, am I living in the first place? If I wasn't, then death will be nothing be the cease function of my body. It's no different from a robot shutting down.

But I wish to experience the feeling of living. That is my regret.

"Ah, about the ugly or old women. Perfect timing since I just saw a woman with deformed face that's on the verge of death. Shigure, pick up that woman over there and follow us."

I just heard someone speaking nearby. Their voice was a little low in tone but very light to the ears. You can from their voice alone that this person is very soothing, gentle, comfortable to be with.

Right after that, I could feel that someone is carrying me and laid me down somewhere. By the texture, it must be a hospital bed used decades ago.

(Author's note: The setting of World's End Harem has advancement in technology, while the Earth where Sai lived was on the same level as our world.)

I cannot use my eyes since my vision is blurred. What's this? Someone's hand is on my face. And string-like things are coming out from that hand and are enveloping me.

What's happening to me? There's nothing but darkness after those string-like things enveloped me.

It's as if I'm disappearing little by little. My memories, knowledge, emotions, instinct, and afterwards, it's my sense of self that was gone.

And everything that vanished returned all of a sudden. But I feel that I changed fundamentally after that. I can't point my finger at it, but I feel that I'm no longer the same person as before.

Dressed in school uniform I never seen before while wearing eyeglasses. Despite their pale skin, I could tell that it's flawless without even the slightest trace of impurity. Long black hair that waves slightly due to the passing wind. That sight alone makes me think that the night sky is pale in comparison to it. And when I gazed at their eyes, one could feel like they are staring at the darkest and deepest of the abyss. Those pair of pitch-black eyes feel like they are inviting me to jump down to that abyss and it makes me willing to accept its invitation.

This being is something that shouldn't even exist in this world. I could that this being in front of me has exceeded everything in existence. A being that gives off the feeling that it is beyond the perfection that humanity is instinctually seeking. A concept of such being should be fictional but is in front of me, existing.

A contradiction. This being is a contradiction. They shouldn't exist but broke that fact and exists opposing it.

That speaking to me. "Good morning. You are on the verge of death when I found you so I took the liberty of making you into a servant of mine. I'm Sai Kaiku. The girl behind me with the katana is Shigure Kosaka. The lady behind you is Qin Shi Huang, someone who ruled China. And the girl beside me is Kyoko Kirigiri. How about you, what's your name?"

Sai Kaiku…when I heard that name, the sensation of being electrified coursed throughout my body and mind. It's as if hearing His name is a trigger for me, a trigger for imprinting.

Just like how some animals imprint that the first organism they see is their parents. For me, Sai Kaiku-sama is my absolute Lord who I pledged to serve for eternity. Obeying him is natural and normal.

Before I knew it, my body moved and performed a seiza and I introduced myself. "My name is Rena Kirisaki, my Lord. I am overflowing with my gratitude for saving my life and making me reborn better than my previous self. Please allow this insignificant servant to devote her entire being to you, my Lord."

Sai Kaiku-sama, he is my Lord and I am his servant. If it was me several days ago, I would have been repulsed and reject at the idea of serving someone like a slave. However, the only thing in my mind is serving and dedicating myself to my Lord.

"Let's get a move on. Raise your head, Rena Kirisaki. This might be sudden, but I'll have you participate in this experiment that I will perform." My Lord issued His orders to me.

"Yes, please make use of me to your heart's content, my Lord," I answered with haste as to save my Lord's precious time.

After that, my Lord instructed me to sit on His l.a.p. I did as I told, but I could barely maintain my composure. His relaxing cold body temperature and bewitching fragrance.

My Lord begun his experiment on me and I felt sudden attack of pain. My body feels like it was being torn and healed alternately. While brain feels like it was stabbed with thousand of needles due to the massive amount of information and experience being sent to my brain.

I wasn't able to take it anymore and scream are leaking out from my mouth.

I don't know how much time has passed, but the thing my Lord called inscribing was finished.

My Lord asked my condition and I replied that I am okay and can still continue. When He praised me, a warm feeling filled inside me. He indeed caused me pain for experiment, strangely enough, there's no negative emotion like resentment or anger was surfacing. But His praise alone is enough to make me feel happy and fulfilled.

I endured the next experiment with the best I can. The pain I experienced is far intense than the first one.

Not good, I can't keep my posture. I fell to my Lord. Oh no. I must stand up or else I will end up burdening my Lord with my mass. I don't want to incur my Lord's wrath!

But my Lord merely smiled at me and let my head rest at his shoulders. Despite the difference in our builds, my Lord supported me and let me lean on him.

During my life in the past months, it's nothing but mechanical and monotonous. Despite enjoying my privileges and rights as a human, I feel nothing but emptiness.

After my rebirth, happiness and fulfilment is constantly filling me in my life as one of my Lord's subject and servant. My regret of not feeling what it means to live has been granted to me. Right now, I, Rena Kirisaki is alive!
