···
I slowly turned my head back.
Soon, the smoke began to clear.
“No way…”
There wasn’t a single ‘man’ there.
[We repeat the instructions.]
[You may move while the doll is saying “Red Light, Green Light.”]
[If you move after the doll turns around, you will be eliminated.]
My body froze at the announcement.
I couldn’t move.
···
The ‘eliminated’ people behind me began to stand up one by one.
“Wh-What’s going on…”
“Wh-Who are you?!”
“Hey… are you Yun-seok?”
“My body… did I become a woman…?”
It was an incomprehensible situation.
The green tracksuit and white patch were the same.
Only the gender had changed.
And into quite the pretty girl…
“My chest is swelling… Could it be?!”
[Rustle… Rustle…]
“It’s gone… my pride…”
Number 164, now a woman, trailed off and collapsed.
‘Could it be… that’s what happens when you’re eliminated…’
My body began to tremble with fear.
There’s no way this kind of technology exists in modern times…
In the first place, it’s a technology that shouldn’t exist in modern times…
Then, the announcement started again.
[Those who have been eliminated will be transported to the doors on both sides.]
[Click-]
Then, doors began to open in what I thought was a wall…
And those ‘masks’ began to appear.
“W-Wait a minute…! I’ve never heard of becoming a woman when you’re eliminated!”
“Who the hell are you people…?”
[Thud-!]
“Wh-What are you doing? Let go! Let me go!”
The masks began to indiscriminately drag away the eliminated.
[Thump!]
“Please let me go!!”
“What the hell is this!!”
The sounds of the eliminated resisting echoed everywhere.
Sounds of falling… sounds of throwing punches…
But before long, all the eliminated were taken away.
Once all the eliminated were transported, the stuffy feeling disappeared.
But I still couldn’t move.
···
It seemed that at least half had been eliminated.
[Whir-]
The timer, which had stopped at some point, started to run again, and the doll began to turn its head again.
[Red Light, Green Light]
Not a single one of the remaining participants could move.
[Whir-]
[Red Light, Green Light]
No one moved.
My heart was pounding…
[Whir-]
[Red Light, Green Light]
··· I couldn’t move this time either.
Then, I saw Seong-ho in front of me move slightly.
Seong-ho, who was covering his mouth, began to speak.
“You’ll be eliminated if you don’t go anyway…”
[Whir-]
People began to move one by one.
I have to move too.
[Red Light, Green Light]
‘Hoo…’
I started to take a deep breath in my mind.
There are 1 minute and 57 seconds left…
If I don’t go now, I’ll be eliminated.
Elimination means my dick will be cut off.
I wanted to protect mine at least…
[Whir-]
I barely managed to get up.
[Red Light, Green Light]
[Bang-!, Bang-!]
“Heuk!?”
The man in front of me was castrated.
Every time an eliminated person appeared, they were transported away by the masks.
[Whir-]
[Tap… Tap…]
I started running even faster.
···
[Red Light, Green Light]
[Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang-!]
“Haa… Haa…”
A groan escaped involuntarily.
My body trembled every time I heard the gunshot.
There are 42 seconds left…
There was still some distance to the finish line.
At this rate…
‘No… if I go a little further…’
I barely managed to hold on.
[Whir-]
I have to run as fast as I can this time!
I could see people crossing the finish line one by one.
I started running at full speed at this opportunity.
···
[Whir-]
[Red Light, Green Light]
[Bang-!, Bang-!]
I looked at the timer.
[22… 21…]
About two more turns is the limit.
The good thing is that there’s not much left to the finish line.
It was close, but it seemed possible.
[Whir-]
I ran while looking at the timer with an anxious mind.
At this speed, I’ll definitely pass.
[Thud-!]
My body collided and fell down in an instant.
“Wh-Who…”
There was a rather large man in front of me.
[Red Light, Green Light]
[Bang-!, Bang-!]
“No way…”
[10… 9…]
At this rate, I’ll definitely be eliminated.
Of all times, I had to fall.
Even if I get up and go again, it’ll be too late.
Above all, there’s someone in front of me.
[8… 7…]
“Haa… Haa…”
Cold sweat is flowing.
[6… 5…]
I want to think, but I seem too nervous.
I can’t think at all.
[Whir-]
[Thump… Thump…]
“Haa… Haa…”
[4… 3…]
I’ll be eliminated if this continues…
That thought made me anxious…
The man was also sweating.
Perhaps he wasn’t confident in running, the man had already been caught up to.
I wanted to run, but I was blocked by the man in front.
His shoulders are unnecessarily broad, so it’ll be too late to go around.
[2… 1…]
[Thud-!]
“What!?”
It’s now or never.
I pushed the man over and ran at full speed.
“I’m sorry…!”
The finish line is right in front of me.
[Tap…! Tap]
But at this rate, it’ll be too late.
“Here!”
Looking at the white patch, it was number 107… Seong-ho.
[Swish!]
Without hesitation, I grabbed his hand.
[0]
“Haa… Haa…”
I barely managed to cross the finish line.
[Thud]
As soon as I crossed the finish line, I collapsed, relieved of the tension.
“I’ve never even heard of a game where you get your dick cut off…”
As Seong-ho said, I smiled a little.
A strange sense of elation arose as I crossed the finish line.
[Step… Step…]
“Hey! I’m going to kill you for sure!”
Then, the man I had pushed over started approaching me.
Looking at the white patch… it was number 269.
“Ah… I was sorry about that…”
Number 269 started approaching me without paying attention.
He seemed quite angry.
Looking closely at his appearance, he had black hair, a large build… a muscular body…
Especially his shoulders were broad.
His nose was also prominent and his eyes were fierce.
He had the feeling of a common street thug.
[Snap… Snap…]
Number 269 cracked his knuckles and ran towards me.
Overwhelmed by the pressure, I instinctively cowered.
[Bang-!]
“Aaaaaaah-!!”
What covered me was not a fist, but smoke.
[Crackle… Sizzle…]
After a brief electrical sound inside, the smoke began to clear.
“What!? My body…!”
He couldn’t avoid becoming a woman either.
His height seemed to have decreased by 10 centimeters.
He had long black hair and very large breasts…
Especially his shoulders were narrower.
His face also had a pure and cute feeling.
… Personally, it was my style.
[Rustle… Rustle…]
“Hwaaa!? It’s gone!!”
People who have become women keep showing that reaction since earlier.
I understand, but…
I’d appreciate it if you refrained from putting your hands in your pants in front of others.
[Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang-!, Bang-!… ]
Smoke rose around the men who failed to cross the finish line in succession.
After that, those men also became women and began to be taken away.
“At least let me hit that bastard before you take me away!”
Number 269’s delicate voice echoed in the playground.
Number 269 tried to resist, but his strength had weakened, and he disappeared into the door before I knew it.
It was a situation I couldn’t understand at all.
The people who crossed the finish line were also silent.
[Thoom-]
As the surroundings darkened, I looked up at the ceiling.
“What… is that…”
Gradually, the sky was covered and it began to get completely dark.
[Thud!]
···
Before I knew it, we had arrived at the auditorium.
“What… what is going on…”
“I don’t know…”
I didn’t understand.
I didn’t want to understand in the first place.
The technology to change a person’s gender in an instant…
Above all, it was on a scale beyond imagination.
The auditorium was silent for the time being.
[Thoom-]
[Thud!]
Then those ‘masks’ entered the stage again.
I could also see the eliminated people who had been taken away.
[Thud-!]
The eliminated people were thrown into the auditorium as they were.
The eliminated people were all pretty girls.
Instead of green tracksuits, they were wearing yellow skirts of appropriate length.
The tops were also changed to yellow.
The white patch and number remained the same.
While I was staring with a dumbfounded expression, the mask in the center of the stage began to speak.
“To the participants who passed the first game.”
“Congratulations from the bottom of our hearts.”
“First, we will show you the results of the first game.”
The green numbers on the left side of the monitor began to decrease.
Soon, yellow numbers were added to the right and began to rise.
[121 : 335]
“Out of 456 participants, 335 were eliminated in the first round…”
“The total number of survivors is 121.”
“You become like that when you’re eliminated…? Who the hell are you people?”
Number 382 next to me opened his mouth in excitement.
“As I said before, we cannot provide information due to security matters.”
“P-Please let us go… Please…”
“Please… turn me back into a man…!”
“I never even heard that this would happen!”
People began to protest one by one.
“That’s right…! Please… let us go…”
Gradually, the entire auditorium was filled with the voices of the participants.
[Bang-!]
One of the masks fired a uniquely shaped gun at the ceiling.
I momentarily crouched down as the gunshot echoed.
Looking up at the ceiling, smoke was rising.
‘P-Please, just spare my life…’
Hearing the gunshot up close…
I thought it was fortunate just to keep my life.
Then, the mask in the center began to speak.
“Article 2.”
“Participants who refuse the game will be treated as eliminated.”
Silence echoed in the auditorium for a moment.
Strictly speaking, this was our fault.
If we hadn’t written our names on that contract…
Some participants were sobbing.
I wanted to cry my eyes out too.
26 years since I was born as a man…
I didn’t want to have my dick cut off here like this.
Then, Seong-ho slowly started to come forward.
“Article 3 of the agreement…!”
“The game can be stopped if a majority of the participants agree…”
The mask was silent for a moment at Seong-ho’s words, then continued.
“That’s right, then we will start the vote tomorrow.”
[Thoom-]
[Thud!]
This time too, the masks suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared.
I felt relieved that I had survived for now.
Then, a pretty girl started approaching me.
I felt like I had seen her somewhere before.
She had a cute and innocent appearance that was to my liking.
“What is it…?”
“It’s me, you son of a bitch.”
“Ah…”
The thug I pushed in the first game…
It was number 269.
Now she was just a pitiful woman.
“More than that, you’ve become cuter.”
“Wh-What…? Should I fuck you up this time?”
“You’ve already lost your dick.”
“Hey, should we fight today?”
It started to get heated.
But since the other person is now a pretty girl, it was fun to tease her.
“Okay, okay… calm down, and you guys, stop teasing him…”
Another pretty girl approached and began to mediate.
Yellow long hair… Number 164.
The thug blushed when he saw Number 164 and obediently went back.
Doesn’t he know she’s a girl too…?
“More importantly, I’m not an old man. I’m only 26 in international age.”
After my advice, I went to an empty bed and lay down.
Honestly, I didn’t understand why they were doing this.
Why bother using such technology to turn men into women…?
Maybe the manager here has a peculiar taste.
‘Anyway, everything will be over tomorrow.’
I slowly began to close my eyes.
I didn’t know yet.
I never imagined such a thing would happen…
