Seven Seas' Ghost Ship imprint is releasing World’s End Harem: Fantasia in English, and it describes the story:

Arc, heir to the throne of Nagara, and his harem of beautiful women may be the only thing standing against the end of everything. The world has been corroded by darkness and debauchery, but the mysterious and sensual Dark Elf Lati offers Arc the power he has long yearned for to change his fate!

The manga is a fantasy spinoff of the main World’s End Harem manga.
