A family that ruled the North, a family of swordsmanship and mages: The Arcain Family. Or more precisely, the Arcain Clan.
The Arcain Clan was a demonic dragon clan composed solely of won. They began at the bottom of both the dragon and demon bloodlines but quickly ascended, becoming the third strongest of the five demon clans and the second strongest among the four dragon clans.
Even among the seven major races, the Arcain Clan was one of the strongest, one of the top twelve powers in the world.
They were renowned for their beauty and kind hearts, but also for being one of the most dangerous clans. Their mbers were born with imnse mana and force, with each generation becoming stronger than the last.
An ever-evolving clan that ruled the North through both Power and Love, guided by just three rules:
Combat, Conquer, and Control.
Arthur was the only son of this formidable clan. Born with unmatched talent, but a body that was unable to store mana or force.
This flaw would be revealed after his failed awakening ceremony, after which Arthur Arcain’s life would spiral downward.
At least, that’s what Beom-seok believed his fate would be... Get the elixirs, try to regain his Ultra Instinct trait, and perhaps save a few mbers of the clan.
But it seed like he still had so luck left.
Just as he had anticipated, his mother Alica Arcain gave him the elixir. What he didn’t expect after completing his first scenario...
Was this.
『 #Scenario 1: Talk With Your New Mom — Completed 』
『∞ Infinite Harem System Has Been Activated ∞』
Arthur blinked from his bed. He had dismissed the maids, leaving him alone to process his thoughts and plan his next steps.
『 Opening Status Window... 』

◆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━◆
Arthur focused on the next system notification that appeared beside him.
『 Note: You can form bonds with females of interest. Affection Bond ≥ 60% = Refined Mana or Force Conversion. 』
『 Complete next scenario to obtain more information. 』
"Wait... wait a second," he muttered, adjusting the transparency and size of the system screen.
Arthur didn’t need to think too hard to understand the aning behind the ssage, nor did he need extra information on the system.
A system that allowed him to refine mana from females with a high affection rate. That ant, even with his weak body, it was still possible for him to awaken and use mana, without the need for an elixir.
All he needed to do was form bonds with strong won, won who fought monsters, and he would gain a portion of that mana.
Not in its unrefined form, but refined.
The issue, however, was how much mana or force would he receive?
Would it be 5% of their mana, 10%, or relative to how much affection they had? And could he receive more than that?
He shook his head.
Thinking about the rewards before putting in the work was pointless.
For soone like him, the conditions were still difficult, but considering he was now in the body of Arthur Arcain, it might just be possible.
He just had to make the won around him, starting with his clan, fall for him. Their affection would fuel his power, even before his awakening.
Arthur collapsed onto the bed as another system notification appeared.
Ding
『 #Scenario 2: Raise Your Sister, Selena Arcain’s Affection To 80% 』
Arthur swallowed hard. ’The system doesn’t give any ti to rest.’
"And now I have to get my sister to 80% affection?" Arthur muttered.
Arthur lay silently, his eyes still focused on the dark golden system screen.
His mother was already at 99% affection. His sister’s affection was currently unknown.
He leaned back on the headrest, his gaze drifting to the window and the snowy hills beyond.
His sister.
She wasn’t just any clan mber. She was one of the strongest, a skilled warrior known across the North for her calm deanor and strategic brilliance.
Unlike most of the clan, she didn’t smile often, but when she did, it was genuine. Arthur could rember those rare monts from his inherited mories.
He focused on the system stats again, particularly the trait marked "Energy Incompatibility Syndro," a condition that made Arthur incapable of properly absorbing or storing unrefined mana or force.
His initial fears and problems seed irrelevant now, thanks to the system.
’Systems sure are convenient.’
Arthur closed his eyes, as bright light surrounded him.
This was the visual experience most unawakened people had to endure if they were ever going to awaken.
According to the original plot, Arthur Arcain wasn’t supposed to see these energies clearly.
But since Beom-seok could see them, he was certain the system didn’t follow the traditional thods of progression.
"This isn’t so bad," he muttered to himself.
Still, he couldn’t afford to beco complacent. The main plot hadn’t begun yet.
That ant there was much more to be done. But Arthur couldn’t help but feel a thrill at the thought.
Maybe it was because his life on Earth had been so dull, but experiencing these things, things that used to be re fiction, made him excited.
