Harem of the final villain in an ERO MMO!!! I just need to survive

Amelia did not have much to pack. Since she was a gladiator slave, she did not have many personal possessions. And what little she did have, she kept in her secure pouch at all times.

So when Keith asked her how much time she needed to pack, Amelia told him she was ready to head out.

Amelia had no idea where they were going. She had never been out of the gladiator village in her life and her excitement bubbled up.

The view of tall skyscrapers covering the sky and cars running everywhere was weird and exciting to Amelis. She had never even imagined a world like this outside of the TV.

She especially did not expect Keith to lead her to a huge mansion that spanned thousands of miles all across. She felt like she had stepped into a new and unique world.

'Just who in the world is Keith? He cannot be a simple man to have all this luxury. And why did such a person help me out? Just because Keith felt a passing fancy to me?'

Amelia's head hurt from thinking too much. She looked at Keith who had taken his disguise off. His hair was green again and his eyes shined red. He looked exactly like how people described the grandmaster to look like.

'Don't be absurd Amelia. If Keith was the grandmaster then he would not have stayed calm when he was insulted openly. He would surely have yelled out loud and clear that he was the grandmaster.'

Amelia's brain reminded her of this fact but her confidence wavered as soon as she remembered Shimi's weird obsession with the grandmaster.

In the end, Amelia decided not to think too much about it. Even if Keith was the grandmaster, he was also Amelia's benefactor and saved her life.

Besides, nothing that happened to Amelia was the grandmaster's fault. It was a scam for the really bad people to hide behind.

"Young master, we are here. Do you want to go in and rest first-"

Clair leaned ahead when she opened the door. Her display showed inside her shirt and gave a full view of her vulturous breasts.

Amelia decided not to notice such an open display of lewdness but it was difficult. Keith, however, did not seem to notice Shimi's massive rack. He had tensed up and was looking at the far corner of the road.

Where Keith was looking stood a dashing young man with burning red hair and shining golden eyes. The presence that person gave off was filled with power and his body language screamed trouble.

Amelia was instantly wary of this man and she positioned herself in front of Keith to protect him.

"Keith, look out-"

"Grandmaster, you are finally back. Things were so lonely without you but I made sure everything was up and running. Oh, and I also arranged the documents you asked me to-"

The redhead continued speaking with an excited voice. He did not even pay attention to Amelia and her awkward self.

Meanwhile, Amelia was frozen in shock at what she just heard. She had not expected Keith's real identity to be revealed like this.

Even if Amelia had managed to guess who Keith was, she wanted to hear it from his own mouth. But since this had not happened, Amelia was somewhat shocked.

"Master Shinzou, you need to be more aware of your surroundings when you talk. Look, you completely ignored the grandmaster's guest and made her feel awkward now."

Clair complained to the redhead man, making the elder grin sheepishly.

Master Shinzou, Clair had heard that name as well. He was someone who was just as famous as the grandmaster had been. But it was a given since Master Shinzou was known as the grandmaster's right-hand man.

"Grandmaster's guest? Where? How did I miss someone so impressive? Surely I would not have-"

Shinzour looked around and finally noticed Amelia. It was humiliating for her to be completely ignored like this.

"Anyway, Shimi, I will hand over Amelia to you for the time being. Get her settled in and get her registered. Shinzou, I think we have some things to discuss."

Keith, no, the grandmaster ordered this. Amelia felt foolish to not have noticed this before but the grandmaster sure commanded a powerful presence. No one could go against him and his poker face.

......…..

Keith breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Amelia agreed to go in with Shimi. He was afraid that she would feel betrayed and run away.

In retrospect, he should have broken this news to her gently and before coming here.

"Grandmaster, I made sure to gather every piece of news I could about the mother pearl. I also went through Long Dong's file and summarized it for you to look through."

Clair breathed a sigh of relief as her workload lessened. Keith was thankful for all the work Shinzou had out in.

"Alright, hand it all over to Clair and she will brief me about it later. You did a good job."

Shinzou peaked up like a puppy being praised by his master. He was a loyal mutt, ready to do anything Keith asked of him.

"Also, I have some special news you might be interested in grandmaster. Do you remember the cave of wonders you asked me to look into a few months back? The rumor has that it is about to open soon."

Keith had not been here for a few months for him to be the one to ask this. So that meant the 'real' grandmaster was the one who asked Shinzour to look into this 'cave of wonders'.

Shinzou looked eager to be praised again and Keith decided to indulge him this time.

"Marvelously done, Shinzou. You were a great help to me this time so let me know what you want as a reward."

"No, I don't want anything. It was a pleasure being useful to you, grandmaster."

Shinzou instantly denied the reward and Keith sighed in relief. He was not sure how he would have been able to fulfill Shinzou's wish if he had asked for something.

"Then, since I'm done here, I should go and finish my training for today. Do let me know if there is anything else I can do for you."

The man left just as quickly as he had arrived. Keith's heart breathed a sigh of relief as soon as Shinzou was out of his sight.

Once he was sure he was alone, he turned toward Clair to ask her what she knew about the cave of wonders.

"Let's go to your room first and then I will tell you what I know about the cave of wonders. And just for the record, I did not know that you were looking into the cave of wonders or I would have told you to anticipate this topic."

Clair did sound sorry for Keith but he was not too worried.

As he was posing as someone else, topics such as these were bound to come up once or twice. There was no need for him to panic every time that happened to him.

"Sure, I will listen to you once we reach back home. But before. I think looking into the mother pearl and Olivia's intentions is much more important.

Olivia was a villainess-turned-love interest who was explained in detail. Her storyline was not only fleshed out but also time-stamped in the story. If there was anyone who could tell Keith the time frame of the current story, it would be Olivia.

Clair's expression said that she did not agree with Keith's decision to deal with Olivia over the talk about the 'cave of wonders' but it was a decision Keith remained adamant about.

Clair did not understand how important it was for Keith to know where the story was. He would need to plan three steps if he wanted to destroy the plot armor the protagonists had in this game.

That night, Clair read the reports the whole night but she was finally done by the time Keith work up. He had a neat stack of reports on his table when he woke up and Keith decided to glance them over.

According to the information, lady Olivia was about to hold a tournament with a grand prize but no one knew what the prize for winning was.

Keith knew he could not participate in this tournament as he was and he needed some kind of power or protection.

'Thankfully, I do know some cheats in this game that even a mana-less person like myself can use.'

Just because Keith had no mana did not mean he could not weird it. As long as the object he was holding had mana, Keith could activate any skill he desired.

And there was one thing Keith could acquire at his current level - the cursed ring of power lvl1. It had been a trashy artifact in the game, only giving mana+1 to the main characters but for Keith, it was his saving grace.

Luckily, it was fairly easy to obtain.
