After Marrying 5 Yandere Wives, I Obtained a 10,000x Return System Chapter 1: Forced Marriage
A woman who seed like a saintess, wearing holy attire and possessing golden hair, stood in front of the Goddess of Light’s statue with a pious expression.
Behind her stood two female priests in the sa holy attire.
"Begin the summoning."
The Saintess’s loud voice echoed throughout the hall. Then she kneeled in front of the statue, and all the priests available in the summoning hall followed her.
THUD.
Five people who radiated authority and power stood on a high platform, observing everything.
"What do you think? From which race will the hero co?"
said the red-haired woman with draconic eyes in a calm voice.
"Last ti, a Dragon Race person ca."
Another woman with green hair, brown eyes, and pointed ears said while giving the draconic woman a look. Then she added,
"So this ti, soone else will co."
The other two won and one man standing beside them didn’t say anything and simply looked calmly at the summoning circle, which was now complete.
Then everyone in the hall heard the Saintess’s voice.
"Oh, Hero who will save the world from the demons and bring light to Valtharion."
"...."
Nothing happened for two seconds.
Then—
The Goddess’s statue started glowing with intense light as the summoning circle also began to shine. A pillar of white light erupted upward and instantly passed through the roof as it headed toward the heavens themselves.
Everyone inside the hall gave a knowing look, as this ant the hero summoning was almost complete, while the priests’ expressions beca more fanatic.
Outside, the whole of Valtharion beca active as everyone looked toward the pillar of light. Then they started kneeling while so bowed with respect and reverence for the Goddess’s power.
SWHOOSH
The pillar of white light suddenly disappeared, and the glowing summoning circle slowly beca visible. Many people tried to look inside, but the light was still bright. Even the five rulers were unable to see inside.
After waiting for five minutes, the silhouette of a young man with black hair and blue eyes slowly beca visible. He was sitting there wearing normal white pants and a shirt, with a confused expression.
"Huh? A human."
From the crowd, a voice echoed through the hall.
Everyone beca surprised. Then the young man stood up and looked around in confusion. Seeing people staring at him as if he were sothing bizarre, he gathered his courage and asked,
"Where am I?"
"...."
Silence.
No one replied to him. Instead, they turned toward the only man present among the four won.
He also followed their gaze and noticed the five lavishly dressed people standing on a golden platform.
Then his eyes t the only man, who simply looked at him calmly.
Finally noticing the silence, the Saintess picked up a transparent crystal ball from a priest’s hands and started walking toward .
"So beautiful."
That was the only thought that ca into my mind as her blonde hair swayed gently and her eyes calmly looked at .
After she stood in front of , a bright smile appeared on her face.
"Young Hero, you have been summoned to Valtharion to save the world from the demons."
I beca confused.
"Demons? Hero?"
I muttered, upon which she nodded and held the transparent ball toward .
"Please touch this Awakening Crystal."
I first looked at her hand, which seed as white as snow, before focusing my gaze on the crystal.
My hand reached toward it.
I hesitated for a mont as everyone present urged with their eyes.
"Do it. It’s all about touching it."
That seed to be what all their eyes were saying.
"Huff."
I took a deep breath and, with a final push, touched it.
"Cold."
The crystal felt cold to the touch.
I waited and looked around, but everyone remained silent as they were also waiting.
For a mont, nothing happened.
A minute later, still nothing.
The Human Emperor’s face slowly started changing as anxiety grew with each passing mont.
Even after five minutes, nothing happened.
The Saintess shook her head regretfully and said,
"The Young Hero does not have any talent."
Silence.
Then—
"HAHAHA!"
Laughter erupted from the red-haired woman, while the other empresses also tried to control their laughter.
The Human Emperor’s face beca ugly, and he clenched his fists.
OHM!
Suddenly, a mysterious sound echoed throughout Valtharion.
The Saintess’s eyes turned white, filled with light, and an intense pressure descended upon everyone. Including the emperors and empresses, everyone kneeled before it.
Even I was forced face-first into the ground.
Then ca an ancient, majestic voice.
"All five of you have to marry at least one of your children to him."
Their faces changed.
They hurriedly tried to ask for forgiveness, but the Goddess was already gone, leaving only the Saintess behind as her eyes slowly returned to normal.
With a sigh, all of them gave a glaring look before exiting the place.
"What happened?"
I asked absentmindedly as I tried to get up.
Then a hand helped .
"Thank you,"
I muttered unconsciously before looking toward the person.
The Saintess still had a smile on her face.
But when I heard her next words, my mind went blank for a second.
"Young Hero, we have to hurry. You have a marriage within one hour."
"Huh?"
I muttered in confusion.
Everything was going out of control.
First demons, then marriage?
But she didn’t give more ti to think.
Two male priests appeared behind and dragged toward the preparation room.
"Wait, who is my bride?"
I asked while being dragged.
The Saintess replied with a gentle smile,
"A princess."
After that, they took to bathe and changed my clothes into a traditional white marriage gown.
"Huhu, you look good in this dress."
The two female priests combing my hair said while laughing.
My face turned red.
Finally, after thirty minutes, they took to the marriage hall and left after giving their blessing.
"Young Hero, you are very lucky to marry a princess."
I sighed and started moving through the corridor while looking around.
"The whole place seems wealthy."
I touched the golden wall and thought.
Then I looked back toward the gate, where a few knights stood in shining holy armor.
"Can I run if I want?"
I thought.
CLANG.
When their swords touched the ground and a heavy sound echoed, I shook my head.
"No chance."
As I moved toward the ceremony hall, I heard a loud argunt.
"Father, I was never ant to marry the Hero."
"Only the youngest son or daughter has always married the Hero."
I hid behind a pillar and peeked into the room through the slightly open door.
A very beautiful woman with raven-black hair and purple eyes spoke to the Human Emperor with an angry and desperate voice.
"Is it because I am of low birth and less talented than your youngest daughter?"
"That’s why you want to marry a no-talent Hero?"
SLAP!
The Human Emperor slapped her.
A red handprint imdiately appeared on her cheek.
"Ouch, that definitely will hurt."
I unconsciously touched my own cheek and muttered quietly.
Looking at her crying expression, I shook my head and started moving toward the ceremony hall.
"Poor girl."
After a few minutes, I finally reached the place.
I looked at the four holy knights guarding the door.
As I stepped forward, they opened it.
"Ah, thanks, I guess."
I said quietly.
They didn’t even look at .
"Yeah, so much respect for a so-called Hero."
I muttered.
Though they seed to hear it, they still didn’t react.
Inside, I saw a hall filled with people.
Every single one of them looked unbelievably rich.
Each of them is definitely wearing sothing made from gold.
I took one step, then another.
Slowly, I reached the front.
There stood the Saintess, still carrying the sa smile.
This ti, however, she held a holy book in her hands.
I nodded at her and stood beside her while waiting for my bride.
After waiting for several minutes while listening to the ridicule around , I thought,
"Seems like they also heard what happened."
CREEEKKK
The main gate opened with a loud sound, attracting everyone’s attention.
I leaned slightly to look.
Then my breath stopped for a mont.
From the entrance ca five beautiful won, each with distinctive features, wearing bridal gowns that covered their faces.
How did I know?
Because their figures seed perfect, and their gait is elegant.
"Gulp."
I swallowed unconsciously.
A small chuckle ca from beside , but I ignored it.
As they stopped in front of , the Saintess, who had remained quiet for so ti, finally spoke.
"Young Hero, what is your na?"
I paused slightly as his eyes remained fixed on the brides.
"Luke Voidheart."
I answered after a mont.
The Saintess smiled, opened the book, and started reading from it.
Everyone listened calmly, while the priests listened with pious expressions.
The emperors and empresses watched with emotionless eyes.
anwhile, the other princes and princesses looked toward with contempt, as though looking at a lowly lifeform.
I didn’t notice any of this.
My entire focus was on my soon-to-be wives.
Thinking about it made smile happily.
The five brides could see through their veils.
After seeing his smile, their expressions beca disgusted, and they clenched their fists.
Soon, a priest brought five holy cups filled with holy water and presented them to the brides.
All five paused for a mont before finally bringing the cups to their lips and drinking from them.
The priest then collected the cups and presented them to .
Looking at the cups that still carried their lip marks, I smiled and drank every cup completely.
GULP.
Many n beca jealous.
After all, the princesses they had dread of marrying would now beco the wives of a talentless Hero.
After I finished the final cup, a blinding light descended from above.
I closed my eyes.
A few monts later, when I opened them again, I saw five chains of holy light descending from the heavens.
Each chain slowly moved toward a heart.
CLICK.
The clicking sound echoed throughout the hall.
Each chain connected one bride to , while all five chains linked directly to my heart.
I slowly touched my heart and muttered while looking at my five wives.
"I am married."
"Marriage successful."
The Saintess’s voice echoed throughout the hall.
DING!
10,000 TIS RETURN SYSTEM ACTIVATED!
