Chapter 1
The dark-haired young man opened his eyes, and saw the face of a beautiful Japanese woman in front of him, looking straight at him.
- You awake? How do you feel? What's your name? - The pretty Japanese woman asked excitedly.
- W-water..." he wheezed quietly, holding out a hand that refused to obey.
The girl brought a small glass of water to the mouth of the handsome young man, but as soon as the life-giving moisture got into his throat, he immediately coughed and splashed all over the bed.
- I'm sorry..." he muttered less hoarsely, and took another sip, but this time holding the glass in his hand.
- It's okay, it'll dry out. - The Japanese woman replied with a smile. "And she is very beautiful... This is the first time I see a brunette with blue eyes" - thought the young man, enjoying the beauty of the gorgeous Asian woman.
- Where am I?" he mumbled in a normal voice, and stared at the girl. She was embarrassed by the young man's gaze, and averted her eyes.
- You're in Shinto. I found you last night in the backyard. Don't you remember how you got here? - Asked the beautiful girl.
- Shinto? What's Shinto? Are we in Japan? - He interjected, ignoring her question completely.
- Shinto is a small village that is part of the Land of Fire, under the rule of the Great Daima, located 300 kilometres from the hidden leaf village! What is Japan? - The beautiful girl asked innocently, her eyes fluttering.
Hearing her proud speech, the young man almost spat out another mouthful of water. "It can't be! I couldn't have gone into a painted and invented world, could I?" - The boy thought with shock.
- W-who is the Hokage now? - After a few seconds of thought, the young man asked in a shaky voice, afraid to hear the answer.
- Sarutobi Hiruzen of course! - Once again, the Japanese woman replied proudly.
"Shit, shit, shit! How did I end up in Naruto's world?! I wasn't even a fan, I watched it when I was a teenager and that's it! Why me?!" - But there was no answer to the shocked young man's mental tirade. "Looks like I'm screwed, really screwed... Finding myself in a world completely steeped in violence was not part of my life plans. Just yesterday I was celebrating the successful defence of my diploma with friends, and I was planning to look for a job in a week, but it looks like McDonald's is not going to get a promising cashier... Yeah, jokes are the only thing that helps the brain in stressful situations." - Still recovering from the shock, the young man thought.
Absorbed in his own thoughts, in the corner of his eye, he noticed some obscure detail, like an exclamation mark. Focusing his attention on the sign, a canvas of text popped up in front of him:

"What? The system?! Nakayama Kenshin?! Patriarch?! Harem ruler?!" - He thought with shock, unable to digest the incoming information.
- Are you all right? What's your name? - A beautiful Japanese woman made herself known.
- Looks like Nakayama Kenshin... - The boy replied with a chuckle. - What about you?
- Nice to meet you, Nakayama Kenshin, my name is Aya! - With a cheerful tone, she showed courtesy.
Kenshin wasn't in the mood to continue this conversation, being preoccupied with more important things, namely looking at the "status" window. Aya saw that he was silent and decided not to bother him, so she left the room, saying she'd get to cooking.
Kenshin, for his part, began to scrutinise his abilities, trying to figure out what kind of class the Patriarch was. After a few minutes, he was horrified to realise that he was destined to become a baby-making machine!
"Damn, what have I gotten myself into?!" - Kenshin thought irritably, and began examining each item of interest in the "status" window in more detail.
Class: Patriarch - [Patriarchs are the heads of huge clans that consist mostly of their descendants. The patriarch himself may be weak, but his children will not let their father be wronged, and will destroy anyone who dares harm him. In the great universe, skilful patriarchs strike terror into whole galaxies, take into their huge harems the proud daughters of the greatest emperors, without asking anyone's permission. An inept patriarch can be killed in a drunken brawl by an unremarkable mortal. And a skilful patriarch cannot be killed even by a god]
After reading the class description, the young man wanted to be indignant, but he noticed several subparagraphs, and began to read them intently.
Accelerated Birth: - Accelerates fetal maturation and reduces the length of pregnancy. The duration of pregnancy is reduced by 20 times.
Accelerated Maturation: - Accelerates the maturation of the offspring into an adult. Adulthood speed x500 for human cubs.
Talent Accumulation: - The talent of the Patriarch's children cannot be less than the mother's talent. The offspring born are more likely to inherit their mother's rare positive traits, and are directly affected by the [Talented Offspring] skill
- So that's it..." Kenshin said thoughtfully. - What am I supposed to do, fuck like a field mouse until I die of fatigue? And where am I supposed to put a bunch of kids? And who am I supposed to have them with?! - Muttered the young man, unable to contain his irritation at such a useless system. Having calmed down a bit, he returned to further viewing of the "status"
Patriarch's Charm: - Causes all females to treat the Patriarch with initial friendliness. Passively has an effect on nearby females, eventually causing them to fall in love with the Patriarch.
- Hmm, that's better. I guess that's why Aya's being so nice to me... I guess the question of "With whom" has gone away..." Kenshin murmured thoughtfully, assessing the prospects as he quickly accepted the role of the "insemination bull".
Ruler of the Harem: - All women who have sexual contact with the Patriarch - fall in love with him, and become infinitely devoted.
Patriarch's Will: - Patriarch's words become law for his offspring and harem. Allows communicating with descendants by telepathy at a distance of up to 20 metres.
Talented Offspring: - Allows any offspring to train the homeworld's power system. Each level of the ability increases the offspring's talent by 5% over the mother, and by 2% chance of awakening rare and useful mutations.
Creating a Sanctuary: - Just as any dragon needs a lair, any Patriarch needs a safe haven that is the Patriarch's last bulwark of defence. Allows you to create a hidden sanctuary to live in. Ability level improves shelter, increases stealth, and allows you to stay safe.
Creating Formations: - Allows you to create a variety of support and defence formations. Unlocks increasingly strong formations as ability level increases.

When he had finished familiarising himself with the "system", Kenshin began to think. He thought about many things, about his past life, which he could never get back, about his present situation, which was very unpleasant, and about his future, which was very vague and uncertain. About half an hour passed in thought, and Aya appeared in the doorway. She smiled affectionately at him, and called him to the table.
