Battle Harem of the Heavenly Sword



The electrifying atmosphere went around the four corners of the city. Thousands of people grew excited as the BHR could be considered a festival of sorts.

Throughout the past, it was an event that showcased the might and power of the Dominii empire. Even more so right now as the Dominii intended to rebrand as the new Valorius empire.

"STATUS! RICHES! HONOR! ALL IS POSSIBLE IN THIS YEARS BATTLE HAREM ROYALE!!!!" Lola's voice continued to hype up the people.

Cheers rang out in every shop, diner, and street. Many raced to one of the ten arena's that will hold the matches. Hiro and his battle harem all walked towards their own arenas. As the butcher saw the excited and rushing crowds inwardly he couldn't help but chuckle.

'It was not long ago that the city almost got demolished, and yet here are the people excited and happy. I guess everyone just wants to forget the problems they all have even for just a day.'

Even back on Earth, entertainment served as one of the biggest industries. Most people needed a release and to enjoy themselves. Concerts, parties, watching sports games, participating in matches themselves, and even e-sports. The number of activities one could partake in naturally became the money sinks for their hard-earned cash.

In Valorious, the number of things one can do is limited by a lot of factors. Aside from the usual indoor activities such as eating, fucking, and drinking, there was hardly anything else to do. Outside, they either worked jobs around the city or risked going out of the walls.

The only exceptions to the rule are system users. Becoming a system user is not something everyone is blessed with. Even if one is a system user, only those that are able to rise up the ranks gain the benefits. If one adds the courage needed to level up then almost 90% of system users rarely leave the initial [Novice] ranks.

To level up one needed to take another life after all. This truth prevented most from raising their livelihoods. In the presence of the system users, the efforts of common people seemed useless. The world belongs to the bold as the old saying goes. An added problem of the current setup was that entertainment could be considered extremely lacking.

Card games and a few ball games plagiarized by the Saviors became the favorite past times. However as cities could hardly guarantee 100% safe passage between them, most lived and died in the city they were born in.

Hiro used his AGI to sense the ecstatic energy of the entire city. The BHR represented a time when the world of system users and regular people intersected.

Powerful, beautiful, and living the lives most dream of, the battle harem dominants and their submissives became the idols and movie stars of Valorious.

Once again the BHR announcer's voice continued. "Right, I'm sure everyone is eager to begin, I am too. But first a word from our patron. The guardian of Partisan, the crown prince Dylan Lancea Dominii! Give this handsome man a round of applause everybody! "

The butcher wondered as he heard the informal introduction. "Ho? Even the announcer treats him casually. I wonder if that was his intent." Dylan's voice then echoed in the skies, crisp, clear and heroic he became the man most women desired and figure every man aspired to be.

"Greetings citizens of Partisan. You have all worked hard over these past few months, rebuilding our city was a monumental task and tested not only our will but also our determination. This city is special to my heart so thank you all for your hard work.

"For the duration of the BHR, every shop and restaurant will have their good's subsidized by me. Please enjoy the festivities and hold your held up high! This celebration is made possible because of all our efforts. Long live Partisan! The Lance never bends!"

At his rallying call, the entire city quaked from thousands of voices all roaring to the skies. "LONG LIVE PARTISAN! LONG LIVE THE CROWN PRINCE! THE LANCE NEVER BENDS!" Hiro who heard the mighty shout felt emotional.

Even as an orphan, he could relate to the feeling of being proud of his roots. Relishing the feeling he drew secondhand pride from the resiliency of the people of Partisan.

Dylan never abandoned them, even when it would have been easiest to do so he stayed. Thus when the city was in ruins the citizenry helped with all their might. Even with just regular people, their loyalty to Dylan was unquestioned.

In his mind, Hiro remembered the age-old quote from his father figure. "A true leader is someone who is visible in times of trials and is silent in times of peace."I think you should take a look at

The image of the crown prince going around reconstructing the City must have struck a chord with them. Hiro praised his ally. "Right, if this is like this he deserves to be the next emperor of the Dominii empire. I am glad I don't need to find a new ruler."

"Prince Dylan, Gae-bolg is one of the seeded battle harems, but are there any battle harems that managed to get catch your interest? Are there any specific dominants you wish to be able to join the finals?" Lola asked in an excited voice.

Dylan then answered in a similarly joyful manner. "Hmm, there are a few but right now I am most excited for my friend's performance."

"WOW? The BHR has been going on for decades and this is the first time I heard your highness use the term friend! Could you share this esteemed individual's name so that we can go see him ourselves? Why is he such a good friend, your highness? Is he someone from your childhood? Or maybe a foreign ally? Please share the juicy gossip!"

"Ah! Sorry Lola, I don't believe he wishes me to share his details but know that his battle harem would be this year's strongest contender. He is a perverted bastard that loves nothing but his women.

"However in battle, he is a demon that invokes fear as an enemy. Luckily he is one of my strongest supporters." Dylan commented.

"HAHA! The more I hear about him the more interesting he sounds! I look forward to seeing his performance! Which battle zone would he be entering then your Highness? Please just tell us just that!"

As Dylan and Lola had their interaction broadcasted Hiro found his messaging system blowing up.

[Raylene]: This bastard is too cunning, not only is he telling others to fuck off but he intends to use us as a promotion!

[Vanessa]: Lene, he is desperate, what can you expect? The number of people that would approach our people would be a lot. By announcing that we are his he is also helping us in refusing.

[Jade]: Unnecessary though. I intend to show them how we fight. This is my first message to the Bish.

[Tsugumi]: Onee-sama's please keep R, V, and G under wraps. The public doesn't need to see such brutality.

[Ryuuka]: Tsugumi-Nee-chan [One with Sword] is not better though? Please don't use that move again here!

[Tsugumi]: Ryuuka, how many times did I say that the last time was an accident?

[Lars]: Tsugu love, blowing up a mountain is an accident we cannot afford here.

[Geo]: Will it be really okay to murder anyone here in the capital though?

[Aurum]: Yeah it should be fine, public executions are a pastime here. When you are bored, even such things become interesting.

[Geo]: But there are children? Shouldn't we at least save them from the trauma?

[Ryuuka]: Geo-nii-san I think you are asking the wrong group. Valorious children are aware of how brutal life is. They will be fine. Daddy said it, didn't he? Fight so tyrannical no one wants to join afterward.
