Prologue: The Boy Who Saw Numbers and Stars
---
The world, to most people, is a chaos of emotions.
Love. Hate. Joy. Sorrow. Jealousy. Longing.
But to Kenta Morik, the world was something else entirely.
Numbers. Equations. Problems with solutions.
From the moment he could hold a pencil, Kenta saw patterns where others saw noise. He solved equations that made teachers cry. He memorized textbooks like others memorized song lyrics. While children his age played in parks, he sat in libraries, chasing the quiet satisfaction of a problem solved.
His family had nothing. A tiny house. Empty wallets. Dreams that seemed too big for their small world.
So Kenta learned early: emotions were inefficient. Love didn't pay bills. Friendship didn't put food on the table. Only knowledge. Only hard work. Only the cold, clean logic of mathematics.
He came to the city alone. A scholarship student with worn shoes and empty pockets. He lived in a tiny hostel room with barely space for a bed and desk. He studied until his eyes burned. He answered every question faster than anyone else.
The teachers called him a genius.
The students called him untouchable.
The girls whispered his name in hallways, wrote letters they never sent, dreamed dreams he never noticed.
Because Kenta didn't notice.
He didn't notice the blushes. The stolen glances. The way hearts raced when he walked past.
He saw only numbers.
But numbers, as it turns out, cannot explain everything.
There are things in this world that no equation can capture. The warmth of a hand reaching for yours. The sound of laughter that feels like home. The way certain people make the stars seem brighter simply by standing beside you.
Kenta Morik had spent his entire life looking at numbers.
He was about to discover the stars.
Two girls from his past. Two childhood friends who never forgot him. And a harem life that would turn his orderly world into beautiful, chaotic, wonderful madness.
This is the story of how a boy who only saw numbers learned to see stars.
This is the story of how life ended up with an extraordinary being.
This is A Harem Life sets it covered: From the Scratch through an Intellectual.
