NOVEL SIMPLE Master.*
'What the hell happened?'
Who is this woman washing me and smiling like a fool? Did that beautiful woman who brought me here hand me off to a maid, or is she some kind of nobility?
“Are you awake, little Ash?”
'What is she saying?'

[Host has received basic language understanding]
'Who the hell is this woman calling me "little Ash"?'
“You’re so cute, little Ash. I’m going to clean you up so you can meet your new master. Lady Velynn will be happy to see how adorable you are under all that dirt and snow.”
The maid scrubbed and washed his black hair, surprisingly thick for someone so young. She slipped a small shirt and trousers onto him, drying him off with a gust of wind from her hand.
'She can use magic too?' Asher thought. He had seen the other woman use magic earlier, but the reality of his situation was starting to settle in.
'Can you show her status?'

'...'
Her stats are a thousand times higher than mine. And seriously? A dragon princess working as a maid? That must be common around here, right? I’m guessing this Velynn is the woman who picked me up. No, I’m sure of it—she must be someone special to have a dragon princess as a maid.
Soon, a butler entered the room, carrying a tray with water and finely chopped meat. It seemed that babies in this world didn’t rely on milk.
'A butler too?'

'...'
These people’s stats are off the charts. Is this Ascendant Realm the peak? I really want to see that woman again.
Asher was spoon-fed by Luna, and despite his inability to control his body the way he wanted, the food tasted good. He was still adjusting to his new reality when a knock echoed through the room. Without delay, the door opened, and the woman he had been thinking about entered. Her beauty transcended anything a mere mortal could even hope to comprehend.

[Inheritor of the Rune God, Youngest Sovereign Realm]
Asher’s mind raced, overwhelmed by the new world and these strange numbers that seemed to measure a person’s strength. Everyone he had encountered so far had stats leagues beyond his own. She walked into the room, patting him gently on the head.
A strange letter materialized in the air before Asher.
“[Language]”
“[Protection]”
The runes glowed before merging with Asher, sending a surge of energy through him. This time, however, he didn’t pass out.

“You should understand me now, Asher. Welcome to my humble abode. I’ve decided to train you, starting today.”
"I am your master."
Time flew by as Velynn trained Asher. At the age of three, Asher could walk and began basic body training. By the age of four, he had broken through to the Beginner Realm, something unheard of for a child so young—most didn’t enter their first realm until they were seven. He learned about the realms and their hierarchy:
Beginner Realm
Apprentice Realm
Adept Realm
Expert Realm
Master Realm
Elite Realm
Grandmaster Realm
Ascendant Realm
Exalted Realm
Sovereign Realm
Transcendent Realm
Master mentioned there were more realms beyond, but they were too far for him to even consider right now. By the age of seven, Asher was officially named Velynn’s heir, adopting her surname and becoming Asher Nii Raven. Eight grueling years of training and world knowledge passed. Now, at 15, Asher had reached the Master Realm—no doubt the youngest in existence. He learned that there were seven empires, each ruled by a different race:
Eldorath Empire: Humans
Drakoria Empire: Dragons
Velanthor Empire: Elves
Zyrean Empire: Dwarves
Astraval Empire: Vampires
Crimsonspire Empire: Giants
Solinthar Empire: Beastfolk
He was in the Astraval Empire. Master never disclosed her position here, but everywhere they went, people looked at her with a mix of fear, respect, and awe. When he asked, she always dodged the question or distracted him. Over the years, he had grown close to her, and even closer to Clive and especially Luna—perhaps too close to Luna.
“Little Ash~”
“Let me give you a bath, little Ash~”
'This woman has lost her mind,' Asher thought, trying to wriggle away from her, but she caught him this time.
Deja vu hit him hard as he found himself in the bath with Luna. Normally, this was no big deal, but today was different. Both of them were naked, and Luna’s voluptuous chest pressed firmly against his back. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she rubbed his now-defined abs.
“Little Ash, you never play with me anymore. It hurts my feelings, you know~. I basically raised you, and you won’t do your loyal servant this little favor?”
She pressed her chest against him more firmly, her erect nipples grazing his back, her hands moving sensually across his abs.
'Damnit. Think about fighting… think about fighting…'
Asher wasn’t inexperienced in these matters, having had several relationships in his past life. But in this life, his focus was on becoming strong enough to stand next to his master. That was his ultimate goal. He didn’t understand why his system was called the "Destroying Paradise System," but that was the least of his concerns right now. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, Luna had been with him most of his life and always teased him, making his body react against his will.
“Little Ash~ Let big sis take care of that for you~”
'This woman… there’s no way she’s a dragon.'
