Trevor McDonald, 26, self-professed loser

The cameras start rolling as they focus in on an **** man, his hair scruffy and unkempt with a light bit of beard hair darkening his lower jaw.

"Wait a minute, aww crap, who turned the cameras on!?" A voice cried out offscreen, the camera slowly panning and tilting away from the comatose body slumped in a chair.

Once it was sufficiently moved a young angelic figure took center stage in front of the cameras

"Umm, hello, welcome to Harem Hotel where, oh shit," The angel mumbled under his breath, placing a hand over their chest to calm themselves down.

"Hello, and welcome to this season of Harem Hotel, the reality dating show that pairs one lucky master," the angel gestured at the slumped body offscreen, "who will be joining us very shortly, with a bevy of bodacious beauties the blikes, the likes of which will amaze and astound... can we just cut that last bit, I swear when I figure out who started the cameras early, I'm knocking their ass back down to coffee runner!"

As the cameras were waved away, the angel could be ranting in the growing distance, "Honestly, 'bevy of bodacious beauties, and amazing and astounding, what is this amateur hour at the circus, I know some of the other hosts really go into the ringmaster motifs or stage magician, but do I look like one of those, and on my first assignment too."

A low groaning cut off the complaints spilling out.

Putting on their best smile, the angel fluttered over beside the man who blearily blinked awake.

"Aww God!" He shouted, suddenly finding himself awake in a blank white room, a small angelic figure hovering beside him. "Am-Am I dead... did I die?" He sounded saddened by the idea of dying, but not to worry, the angel was sure to help him.

"Hello Br- Trevor, my name is Chamuel, but you can call me Cam for short, not Champ though, or I will have to punish that." Cam laughed, but the mirth didn't seem to catch on.

Just acting as if nothing happened, Cam continued, "You've been selected for a very important role, to act as the Master of this season of Harem Hotel where we'll select several women from your life and have them compete for your heart. Think of it like the Bachelor, except we actually matter." Cam laughed again, Trevor still staring around.

"So, you'll just take them like me, and what if they don't want to join, is there like an NDA or some contracts we'd have to sign?" Trevor finally asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Excellent questions, I'll keep it brief since I'll probably have to explain when the girls arrive, in past seasons the Host, that's my role, had a tendency to get overbearing, tricking contestants, lashing out unprovoked, really playing up the fact that despite my appearance, this isn't Heaven, not even close, although I'm different, I'm going to do my best to help the process be smooth so you can go on to enjoying your future with your own personal Harem, just like all those anime and fanfictions you liked." Cam spoke with a calm tone, a soft smile alleviating some of Trevor's nerves as he kept looking off to the side.

"Is it really okay for me to be here though, I mean, aren't the guys supposed to be interesting or attractive, I mean I work part-time in a convivence store?" Trevor mumbled as Cam shook his head.

"No no no, none of that nonsense here, you were carefully selected by my completely biased decision-making process, and trust me when I say, even if the girls aren't happy to begin with, no relationship starts out perfectly, and besides, they get rewards out of it too."

That was the wrong thing to say as Trevor looked even more morose, "So they're getting paid to do this huh, figures." He looked up at a small but firm hand on his shoulder though, Cam's eyes burning into his, literally, the blues had been replaced by an iridescent light that only fed into the angelic look, his halo was even glowing brightly.

"Here's the thing Trevor, this show is going to be broadcast across the universe, possibly even further if the rating holds up, but to get those rating, I'm going to need you to work with me... and I'll work with you, like I said, I'm here to help you." Cam began to rise up, heading into the whiteness before a square opened up, revealing a stage past the door.

"Take some time to sort out your feelings, take as long as you need, I can keep the cameras busy for as long as you need, but once you walk through this door, it's showtime okay. But trust me when I say, these girls are going to be so happy to have you in their lives." Cam said as they walked through the door, shutting it behind them but Trevor could still make out the outline where it was.

HAREM HOTLE BROADCAST- NOTHING TO SEE HERE- HAREM HOTEL BROADCAST- NOTHING TO

An indeterminate amount of time passed before the door slowly opened, Trevor making his way on to the stage, hands in pockets, stiff and refusing to stare at the cameras set up around him. Following Cam directions, he was seated in a grand throne that looked like it was made out of gemstone.

"Hello people of the universe, welcome to another season of Harem Hotel, where we liven up your boring lives by allowing you to watch as a bunch of breath-taking babes, seductive sirens, and horny housewives fight for the chance to build a life with our Master, Trevor. Now I know you're just as eager as him to see the girls we've selected so I won't keep you waiting. But you should be aware that this season will be a little different than normal, as rather than the normal childhood best friends, school bullies, or work wife, we've went for something more... exotic. Welcome to Harem Hotel: Waifu Edition!"
