1. A Lucky Day

Those who get possessed all have their own sins.

The sin of writing comments like trash.

The sin of sucking up to works too excessively.

The sin of sending protest emails to authors.

The sin of posting glorified hate comments disguised as reviews on community boards.

Well, anyway, I didn’t have much to say about the part where I got possessed.

You could say it was a case of reaping what you sow.

Yeah. Even I have to admit I went a bit overboard with the comments.

“But still, this is too much…”

Possessing me into a woman’s body is going too far, don’t you think?

No matter how trashy my comments were, just randomly possessing me into some unidentified woman’s body-not even an extra character-is a bit much. Not even an academy student, just a plain civilian.

And on top of that, shoving me into the body of a white woman who just came to Korea to study, not even a Korean.

“Fuck. It’s even more annoying because she’s pretty.”

A blonde, blue-eyed beauty.

The name written on the alien registration card was Elena Filgrin.

Twenty-three years old, from Germany, and apparently came to Korea for studies and a clothing modeling offer.

“Alright. Up to this point, I can still accept it…”

Yeah, even if I conceded a hundred times, if it was just possessing me into a woman’s body, I could’ve gritted my teeth and moved on.

Honestly, with looks like this, I could probably make a ton of money just by streaming and dancing a little.

However, whatever being-whether author or god-that possessed me plastered me with all sorts of bizarre traits.

As if cursing me for complaining that there were too many heroines making the story messy.

[Trait List]

—-

[Trait: Protect Your Virtue]

[Effect: While maintaining virginity, all physical abilities are doubled.]

[Warning: Losing virginity will drastically reduce all physical abilities.]

—-

[Trait: Time Alone]

[Effect: All types of recovery rates increase when meditating alone.]

[Warning: Fatigue accumulates rapidly when with others.]

—-

[Trait: Lonely Wanderer]

[Effect: Can use inventory when alone.]

[Warning: Inventory locks when accompanied by others.]

—-

[Trait: Reclusive Loner]

[Effect: Can use the general store when alone.]

[Warning: Misfortune increases when with others.]

“This is basically telling me to go solo…”

Every single trait makes it hard to benefit when with others.

And there was even one trait that could disappear due to others’ malice.

Well, it’s not all bad. Yeah, up to this point, it’s still manageable.

It might get a bit lonely, but with heightened physical abilities, better recovery rates, and access to an inventory and some kind of general store, I could probably make a living.

But my misfortune didn’t end there.

-KEEEEEEEK!!!!

-KYAAAAAA!!! HELP ME!!!!!

-UUUUAAAAHHH!!!!!

The chaotic scene outside.

Smoke rising and screams of people everywhere.

Stores being looted by survivors turned armed robbers, pedestrians collapsing dead.

And all sorts of monsters and bizarre creatures openly running around the streets.

Wait, looking closely, flowers bloomed on a fallen corpse… and now it’s getting back up?

This is chaos on another level. Is this a monster apocalypse, an alien apocalypse? Maybe even a zombie apocalypse.

It was a complete mess.

‘No, the original was supposed to be a normal academy hunter story… Why did it suddenly turn into an apocalypse?’

It seems the being that possessed me really didn’t want to see me monopolizing all the opportunities and living well as the protagonist.

Well, that makes sense. Until now, the possession stories I’ve seen were strangely kind to the possessed for some reason.

That never made sense to me.

If you’re going to forcibly possess someone who wrote trash comments, why leave all the opportunities intact? Why let them rise to power without hindrance?

Possessing someone is a form of revenge, so shouldn’t you make them suffer endlessly instead of letting them build a harem? Does that make sense? I always thought that.

‘But now that I’m the one possessed… the future looks fucking bleak.’

No answer. The world has collapsed, forget about opportunities or whatever.

And on top of that, this body is a petite woman with a disgustingly pretty face.

If I go outside looking like this… I’m sure I’ll get surrounded by weirdos or awakened who’ve turned into robbers and become their plaything.

‘And most of all… the protagonist of this world is the most dangerous.’

The protagonist of this 19+ erotic novel wouldn’t just leave a virgin with this appearance alone.

And it’s a world where all kinds of sexual predators roam freely. It’s not just the protagonist-this fucked-up world is overflowing with ridiculously powerful perverts.

‘This face is dangerous… Too attractive and deadly. If I get caught, I might end up kidnapped, imprisoned, and forced to keep getting pregnant…’

Countless scenarios flashed through my mind.

Every single one was the worst-case scenario.

I absolutely refuse such a dark and horrifying future. I need to get stronger.

Since I’ve entered a 19+ erotic novel, I need to survive against all kinds of male appendages.

‘I need to properly assess my abilities.’

The being that possessed me, perhaps to prevent me from immediately committing suicide, filled me with oddly good abilities.

If I don’t die and keep struggling miserably, they can get their revenge and have some fun, so they’re telling me not to kill myself and to hold onto hope.

‘How vicious…’

Anyway, looking at the traits, “Protect Your Virtue” and “Time Alone” are my lifelines.

Even starting from scratch, these two alone could probably sustain me.

‘The unusual ones are… the inventory and general store.’

First, checking the inventory, I could store items up to the weight I could lift. Taking them out felt like tossing them out through my palm.

I’m not sure about the maximum capacity, but it doesn’t seem huge. Still, better than nothing.

“General store…”

After checking the inventory, I opened the general store. It opened when called.

[Purchase]

[Sell]

[Quest]

[Credit Rating: F]

“What’s this now…”

The general store allowed not just purchases but also sales.

Meaning I could earn currency by selling things.

And the quest section probably asks for specific items or materials.

First, I checked the purchase section.

[Available Items]

[1. Status Window Display]

[Details: Allows you to check your status window upon purchase.]

[Price: 100P]

[2. Book of Mana – Basic]

[Details: Increases understanding of mana and allows learning of Magic Sensitivity.]

[Price: 150P]

[3. Locked]

[Insufficient credit rating.]

[4. Locked]

[Not yet unlocked.]

[Resets in 6 days]

[Instant reset now – 100P]

There were four items available for purchase, but two were locked. It seems the credit rating needs to be raised to unlock them, probably by completing quests or frequent purchases.

‘Items reset every 7 days, and spending 100 points resets them immediately.’

Meaning with enough points, I could infinitely reroll.

‘Checking the phone earlier… today’s Monday…’

So the items probably reset every Monday.

And points are likely earned by killing things or selling monster parts in the sales section.

This seems pretty manageable. Yeah, of course they wouldn’t just try to kill me outright.

They need to plant some hope so the possessed doesn’t commit suicide and keeps struggling.

It feels like I’ve fallen into a terrifying trap… but now that I see a way to survive, I feel a bit happier.

‘Sales are straightforward, just selling items… and the quest is…’

[Quest: Hunt hostile creatures.]

[Reward: 100P, credit score increase]

Kill hostile creatures.

It doesn’t distinguish between monsters or people.

Just says to kill hostile creatures.

-BANG BANG BANG!

Suddenly, someone started banging on the front door.

The timing was perfect. Like someone sent them on purpose.

‘Fuck…’

Checking, there was someone standing outside. A man with a very bulky impression.

Who the hell is this guy? A family member or friend of this body?

-It’s your neighbor!! Are you in there!! Please open the door!! It’s easier to survive together than alone! Yes!

A voice that sounded desperate, with slightly reddened, bloodshot eyes. And drool dripping from his slightly parted lips.

The man claiming to be my neighbor, seen through the peephole… looked off.

Most of all, the mushroom slightly growing on his forehead was the weirdest. But that… could it be…?

“Lust Mushroom…”

It’s from the novel. A strange lifeform that parasitizes monsters, induces lust, and makes them rape their own kind to spread spores.

Yeah, this bastard is being toyed with by the mushroom and came to rape the ridiculously pretty neighbor girl he’s had his eye on.

‘The mushroom must’ve tempted him to fuck me…’

The reason doesn’t matter. If a sentient being can be manipulated by that mushroom, it means this bastard already had lustful thoughts about the neighbor girl.

The pig outside is currently threatening my “Protect Your Virtue” trait.

‘A weapon…’

I grabbed the only kitchen knife in the house.

Right from the start, I have someone to kill. This is insane. I’m not mentally prepared to kill yet…

‘I guess… first experiences always come unprepared.’

My grip on the knife tightened.

Right now, my physical abilities are doubled.

I’m not sure exactly how strong that is, but it feels like I have the physical capabilities of an adult male.

In this soft, untrained woman’s body.

‘If we fight, I should win since I have a knife, but I won’t know until we actually fight.’

If it’s a rapist manipulated by a mushroom, I probably won’t feel any guilt stabbing him to death.

-BANG! BANG! BANG!!

-OPEN THE DOOR!!! HURRY!! IT’S URGENT!!!!

The neighbor pig started shaking the door violently, as if he’d break it down.

I carefully approached the door and swung it wide open at the moment he pulled.

“Uwaaahk!!”

CRASH!!

The neighbor pig fell backward, lost his balance, and tumbled down the stairs.

This worked better than I thought. He seemed to have a concussion or something, groaning and flailing to get up.

Yeah, now’s the perfect time to kill him. Plus, he looks disgusting, and the lustful gaze he’s giving me is creepy.

Keeping him alive would only bring me trouble.

“Die!”

I rushed at him before he could get up.

Half-jumping down the stairs, I landed in front of him and kicked his face.

THWACK-!!!

“Guhhk!! Y-you fucking bitch!!!”

The neighbor pig fell back again, nose bleeding.

Thanks to my heightened physical abilities, I could really feel the power behind my movements.

“You damn bitch.! Come here, you slut!!! Strip!!!”

He swung his arms to grab me, but I was faster.

STAB–!!!

“Guhhk….”

I grabbed his hair, twisted his neck to expose it, and stabbed the knife in. No hesitation. If I hesitated, I’d get caught and raped to death.

“Tch…”

Thanks to my enhanced abilities, I managed to stab him, but my lack of skill made my hand get cut.

“Ghhak….”

The neighbor pig looked up at me with hollow eyes, bleeding out.

I took his banging on the door as a threat.

I interpreted his gaze as potential hostility.

So I killed him. That’s all. What else could I do? He was banging on the door like a madman-of course I’d kill him.

It’s his fault for letting some mushroom take over his body.

He reaped what he sowed.

[15 Points Acquired]

“Oh.”

A human life is worth a measly 15 points.

‘This is awesome..!’

For some reason, I wasn’t shocked by the murder-I just wanted to get the status window quickly.

For a first kill, I’m pretty numb. It wasn’t that shocking.

In movies and other media, people take huge mental damage from killing… but not me?

“First…”

I plucked the Lust Mushroom from the pig man’s head as he bled out on the landing. I’ll sell this at the general store.

This was a lucky start.
