The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world

The gate closed in front of Yohan and the green light on the scanner turned red. His window to pass through the gate had ended.

"Hey man, are you alright? We all saw what you went through but don't take ot to heart. As soon as you settle down, go to the police station and report what happened. They will solve your issues for you if you lost your magi-craft. You should be thankful that you have you were born in the city and not an outsider like most people."

A friendly hand was extended toward Yohan by a passerby who had seen everything that happened. He was a local who had gotten used to seeing such sights for the past few years.

In reality, Yohan knew that this world looked technically advanced from the outside but not everyone had equal rights in this world. In reality, there was a lot of marginalization and inequality in this society.

There were 'governed' sectors and then there were 'chaos' sectors in this world. The governed sectors had all the power and authority. It was a utopia of this world only 10% of the population had access to it.

Compared to it, 90% of the population who made up the rest of this world held no right or way to use magic. Magic or magi-craft was a regulated art only the elite of the governed sector could use.

To gain access to these 'governed' sectors, one needed to prove their potential by passing the test to enroll in the academy. Only then would one be awarded a conductor for being able to use magic.

And only people born inside the 'governed' sectors had their data directly recorded by the scanners.

There were also the only people allied access to the city without a conductor at hand. And hence, they were also the prime target for stealing access.

"Let's just hope that scanning again doesn't cause any problem for me."

Yohan's voice was soft and he stood in front of the scanner again. The machine beeped as it scanned him again but this time it took considerably less time for him to scan.

He also did not have anyone else divert their eyes away from him, realizing that he was blue blood and tangling with him could cause you big trouble.

"Just go straight to the city and you will see the police headquarters. They will tell you how to get your conductor back and also punish the bad guys who tried to steal from you."

The kind gentleman yelled as he waved Yohan off. It was the first time he had seen a person who had been robbed but had kept their composure.

His heart went out to the poor boy for his loss and he also wished the kid the best of luck. There would be many hurdles he would have to face in the future, that was the feeling the old man got from Yohan.

Meanwhile, Yohan was not too worried about getting robbed. After all, the robbers had not managed to snag anything of importance from him.

But he could not help but think about how lucky (or unlucky) his robbers had gotten by stealing from him of all people. He was the only person who would not alert the police about his thing being stolen.

And it was all because he had snuck into the city without permission as well. He was not that much different from that gang that had robbed him.

Speaking of the gang that had robbed him, he could feel their energy signatures nearby and it made Yohan curious. So he followed his feeling and ended up entering a dark side ally.

"Boss, are you sure this is a conductor? I cannot feel any spark when I touch it. How are we going to do this without a conductor?"

The speaker was the man Yohan had dubbed as follower 1 inside his mind. He held the small empty bottle-like device Yohan had been carrying around on him.

The man turned it around with curious looks, trying to see if he would be able to make any sense of it and somehow activate it. But no matter what he did, the device did not respond.

And how could it respond when it had no battery inside?

In reality, the small bottle-like device was just something Yohan had found discarded on his way to the gate and had picked up. He had wanted to tinker with it later but he had no time to do so now.

The thing Yohan had accidentally picked up had been a conductor which was highly priced in the market. Had he known it before, he would have taken better care of it and then sold it on the black market.

"Stop questioning me so much. You fools might not be able to see it but I can see it very clearly. This is the same device the government issued to me when I used to study here. I would never mistake a conductor for anything else."

The blond leader assured, her voice angry and annoyed at being questioned so much.

"But boss, did you not mistake a vibrator for a conductor last week? I remember that you sang a lot about it at the party as well and-"

"Shut up. I was drunk back then so I had an excuse. And anyway, it is not like I am asking you to try this conductor out. We will have to get it repaired before we can use it and you are in luck because I know a place we can check out."

Yohan could have chosen this time to come out and announce his presence. He would have taken everyone by surprise and also managed to get away with the conductor in hand if he had wanted to.

But he let these people be for the time being.

Their talk from before had attracted Yohan's attention and he felt like he would be able to find decent spots in this city if he kept on following the group.

So this was what he did that day. He followed that blond, dark-skinned leader and her group around. Just like he had thought, they had excellent connections and knew how to get around this place undetected.

As much as Yohan hated to admit it (mainly because he was still pissed off about what happened earlier) he needed to make use of these people.

'Now then, which one shall I choose as my first minion in this world? Which one looks meek enough to agree to be a living corpse?'

There was only one downside of Yohan having a controlling skills and that was the type of contact and consent he needed to make the other into a subordinate of his.

He could always use sex to convert a person in this group into his minion but Yohan would rather not use that method for now. Mainly because he was not desperate enough to get his hands on such minions.

The only people worth his seal were the ones he knew would not die. And this minion he needed right now would be disposable to him. And Yohan was also bound by the time restriction.

He needed to be out of this main city and back into the temple since he had the Head Priest waiting for him back there.

'Well, let's choose one at random for now and be done with it. I guess that timid guy in the back would do the trick.
