Isekai Tensei Harem

"I will now show you something interesting. And when I see it, I will change your mind."

Together with the Emperor's words, my sight was covered with a very colorful flash.

"Ugh...."

She thinned her eyes to the extent of her eyelids.

And in the next moment, several images appeared in the back of the brain at the same time.

"This is...!?"

A vast flow of information ─ ─.

Too much information to keep up with brain processing.

Just vague images come into me one after the other.

There are so many skyscrapers that it seems like it could reach the sky.

The earth filled with men.

And war.

Flying flames and thunder.

The scream disappeared into the blast of light.

Many corpses.

"Maybe this is...."

When you combine fragmented images, you can understand the meaning of each one.

A super ancient civilization once destroyed... is this it?

"Exactly. This is the great civilization that once flourished - what you call the super ancient civilization. It's fragmented information."

The voice of the emperor echoed.

"You lived at the beginning of the twenty-first century. A super ancient civilization is its far distant future."

"Far... the future?

For example, the 22nd and 23rd centuries, or the 30th and 40th centuries, or earlier?

"It is a world where science has surpassed magic and developed to the extreme."

Ignoring my confusion, the Emperor continues to explain.

"Everyone can use spells by directly connecting (accessing) the magic database. In your world, it's like downloading apps from the Internet.

But the super ancient civilization was destroyed by its too powerful magical power. Seeking wealth, penetrating lust, fighting for power, and people despising people ─ ─ The spark of innumerable strife eventually called for the runaway of too powerful a force, and soon civilization perished.

Only a few people survived. Thirteen mighty wizards - the "Thirteen Sages of Arkasha" - became leaders, and they vowed to rebuild. Now it's impossible to live without relying on magic ─ ─ No, it's impossible to live without it at all, so use magic with moderation and narrow the range of power ─ ─.

At that time, the direct link was sealed, and human beings born after that were directly connected to the database of superancient civilizations. In other words, the spells of that era -- the spells of origin -- became impossible to use. "

Speaking of which, I've heard of it.

Human magic in this world uses what is depicted in the book of magic excavated from the ruins of super ancient civilizations.

However, I can't reproduce the complete original, so I think it is in a state of using a spell like a degraded copy.

"The magic that exists in this world is a deterioration that does not reach the foot of the original. I'm not weak. Such a force cannot bring back the great power that mankind once possessed."

I can't believe this guy's purpose ─ ─.

Ah, one hunch made my spine squirm.

"I used to belong to the 'Thirteen Sages of Arkasha'. What the rest aims for is the rebuilding of the super ancient world. However, the other twelve people did not agree with this idea ─ ─ eventually we understood. After they died with their lives, the rest lived. I stayed alive in this state. And the war that went on for the sake of purpose was its final act. It's about sorting people out in a new world."

"Sorting...?

"The super ancient world used force in the wrong way. So I perished. That's why only the right person can handle the power this time ─ ─ that is, the chosen wizard."

The emperor speaks out loudly.

"As I said earlier, magic in this world is just a degraded copy. Because the super ancient man decided that 'the original magic is in the hands of mankind'. But I can't believe I'm stupid enough to say it. I didn't want to let myself rot with a force comparable to God ─ ─.

Original magic ─ ─ This wonderful power is once again revived and travels to every corner of the world. Then let's rebuild the super ancient world - no, let's create a world that goes beyond the super ancient world. Yes, the magic empire will eventually become the only absolute empire that governs people with the same power as God ─ ─.

Without drowning in power, without drowning in lust, without drowning in affection ─ ─ In a perfect world, only the perfect human being is allowed to live ─ ─ "

That's right, it's...

I finally understand.

Machine possessed by the fantasy of sorting humans.

That's the magic emperor.

The opponent in front of me is already crazy.

It's like a machine program.

The pathetic ghost left behind by the super ancient civilization ─ ─.

"But the rest of the body was already at its limit. Even with the technology of the super ancient world, it will not be possible to create an immortal body. The rest was afraid that it would disappear before the ideal was realized. And I finally discovered it.

How to leave your soul even if your body is destroyed. "

That's what it looks like.

A technique that preserves only the brain and lives thousands of years.

"I wanted the rest. A body that can move instead. Move your body with the rest of your will."

I mean, puppets.

"Origin spells can only be manipulated by those who were born before the demise of the super ancient civilization. That's why I summoned you. The soul. It takes the form of reincarnation, into this era."

"... wait, that's..."

I groan with a dry voice.

So, when did I reincarnate?

This is it.

"The rest brought several souls to this world from a long past. Thou art also one of them. All that was carved into the stone tablets that thou hast seen are the ones whom the rest have reincarnated. Have you noticed that your name was also inscribed?

"... ahh"

"From time to time, it is the influence of your dreams that predicts the future. The ability to touch a phenomenon that rarely occurs to a person who has reborn over time ─ ─ and to glimpse the time. I can't control it the most."

I see...

So what I've seen so far is a predictive dream.

But I can't control it myself.

"And I chose the most talented of the resurrected as the rest of the flesh. That's the Merchior you fought with earlier."

The Emperor went on.

"But thou hast defeated him. Excellent talent. Admit that you possess the greatest and greatest magical talent in the world."

"It's an honor to pay tribute to the magic emperor."

I gave it back lightly.

"Let's ask that question again. Thou shalt not be a puppet for the rest of thy new flesh."

"Who will be?"

I answered immediately.

I don't think that's a bad story.

The Emperor does not move.

"If the rest of your magic knowledge and your talent are combined, there will be no enemies in this world. And soon the whole world will be under the control of the Magic Empire. As a surrogate, you will be the king at the top of the world ─ ─"

Is this it?

You're inviting me to work for you because I'm going to raise the world?
