Chapter 7: 07. Dragon Monarch Evolution Harem System.
'Goodbye, Orion. We'll leave a letter behind telling you how sorry we are for what my jealous sister did.'
That was the last thing Orion heard before everything around him turned black and he drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, on a continent occupied by humans, there was a kingdom called Hearthstone kingdom, and It was located in the southern region of the continent.
Although the kingdom was pretty large, it was still the smallest kingdom when compared to the other three kingdoms on the continent.
The human continent was made up of the Azure Empire, which was also divided into four kingdoms, and the emperor currently ruled the largest kingdom.
The largest, which was the northern kingdom, was called the Apex Kingdom while the remaining three were given the name Eastern, Western, and Southern Kingdoms respectively.
Each of these three kingdoms was ruled by a regional king, and although they each had their own local governance structure, ultimately, they all answered to the emperor.
The Southern Kingdom was also called Hearthstone Kingdom, and it was currently troubled with both internal and external problems.
In the Kingdom of Hearthstone's castle, Orion could be seen sleeping in his bedchambers when a system notification suddenly surfaced in his mind.
[Transmigration of Host's soul has successfully been finalized.]
[The Dragon Monarch Evolution Harem System will now bind with the host.]
[Commence Binding..... 1%]
[Binding.... 50%]
[Binding.....95%]
[Binding Complete.]
[Merging Host's Previous Life Memories With Host's Current Memories.]
[Merging.....50%]
[Merging Complete.]
Hearing a foreign female voice in his head, Orion groaned as he woke up with a throbbing headache.
"Ugh!! My head," He raised his hand and placed his palms on his forehead with a bit of pressure, hoping they would lessen the pain in his head.
Once the pain subsided, Orion opened his eyes and noticed the unfamiliar bedroom he was in.
"What happened?"
"Where am I?"
[Welcome, Host, to Hearthstone Kingdom.]
"Huh? Hearthstone Kingdom ?" Orion repeated.
[Yes, It's the name of the kingdom the Goddess Of Love transmigrated your soul to.]
The mention of Astarte's title brought back memories of Orion's encounter with the two goddesses.
'I guess what happened in the temple and my bedroom wasn't really a dream,' Orion thought to himself before replaying his final moments with Astarte and Anastasia.
Before falling asleep, he recalled Anastasia mentioning something to him.
It was something he had to take a look at upon arriving in this world.
"A letter?"
"Yes!! That's right. Anastasia made mention of a letter."
"Do you have the letter with you?" He directed his question to the system.
[Yes, The Letters Are One Of The Five Beginner's Gift Packages Available To You.]
[Would You Like To Take A Look At Your First Beginner's Gift Package?]
Although he was surprised to find out that he had been given five different gift packages, he was eager to find out what each package contained.
And so, he replied, "Yes".
[Opening the host's first Beginner's Gift Package.]
[You have received two letters from the goddess of love and warfare and you stand the chance to receive three blessings each from the two goddesses as well.]
'Woah!! Three blessings?' Orion was taken aback. That meant he could receive six blessings in total.
He never expected to receive so many blessings from Astarte and Anastasia but if they were willing to give him so much, then it must mean they really cared about him.
Putting that thought aside, Orion decided to focus on what really mattered to him right now and that was to find out why his body suddenly felt heavy and exhausted the moment he kissed Anastasia, and the fastest way to find out why this happened was to read the letters.
"Open the first letter."
The system acknowledged his order and a transparent blue screen appeared before him with a string of words displayed on the screen.
[Letter from Anastasia 'The Goddess Of Warfare, Wealth, And Evolution.]
[I'm sorry, Orion. We weren't able to give you a proper farewell due to a certain someone's childish act of jealousy. Sister offered you her blessing right after I offered you mine and it almost made your body explode. So we had to take a different approach. The blessings were supposed to be given to you at different time intervals, but since it wasn't, we decided to use Aria.
All your abilities are currently lying dormant within you and only after you have gone through proper training, and improved your physical attributes, will you be able to slowly unlock your abilities through Aria.
Your journey has just begun, but the future will surely be filled with surprises, so you shouldn't lose sight of what you really want. I'll be here, waiting to hear all the wonderful stories you have to tell when we meet again. Hopefully, you won't forget about me.
Till our paths cross again, Anastasia.]
Reading the letter in front of him, a smile appeared on Orion's face. He finally understood why his body had felt so heavy right after he'd kissed Anastasia.
It turned out that while he had been kissing Anastasia, the initial glow of his body had been due to the blessing he'd received from her.
However, due to Astarte's jealousy, she decided to break their kiss by bestowing her blessing upon him at the exact same moment, knowing that it would not only weaken his nerves but also prevent them from kissing further.
It also seemed that Anastasia was referring to the system as Aria.
As for seeing Anastasia again in the future, Orion was also looking forward to that, and there was no way he could ever forget someone as beautiful as the goddess of war.
With that out of the way, Orion was interested in seeing what Astarte had to say about what she did to him.
[Letter from Astarte 'The Goddess Of Love, Pleasure And Fertility,]
[Hmph, It's your fault for making me act so childish. I feel like you cheated on me. I was supposed to be the one to have your first kiss. Now I can't get the image of the two of you kissing out of my head.
Once you return, you'd better make it up to me by showering me with a lot of love, or else you won't be forgiven.
If you fail to do this, then I'll make sure to wring you dry in ways you can't even begin to imagine.
Oh, and if you ever wish to see us, try to find the golden temple of the Ra tribe. We have a stronger link to the mortal realm through that temple. Remember to have fun as you experience a new life in a new world, but try not to have too much fun so you won't forget about me. See you soon, dearest.]
