002 : A Special Privilege as an Apology
Truth be told, I had no experience with it myself. My roommate never asked me, but they would blabber on and on, so I only had a superficial understanding of it.
In any case, they were someone who enjoyed talking. After listening to all of their excessive information, I had only one thought regarding the game:
'It'll probably have great marketing team.'
My roommate, a lazy fool who had poured their life into the online community, would channel their inner critic and obsessively ruminate on the same topic for days if they found something they disliked.
To a certain extent, I could understand why the Goddess was infuriated. I could see the tearful (actually, nauseating) determination of my friend, who persistently tried to apply the "Nocol" framework.
I was startled when I was suddenly summoned to another world, but it seemed like the misunderstanding had been cleared up.
"Can you please send me back now?"
"…"
*Flinch.* The goddess's shoulders trembled.
"I have work tomorrow."
"I'm so sorry. Truly, I am… I've committed an unforgivable sin. Waaah…!"
"…Why are you apologizing so much? You can just send me back to where I was, right?"
"Well, about that…"
The goddess, kneeling with tears streaming down her face, spoke.
"I can't…"
"…"
"In a fit of anger… *sob*… I used too much power… and now I can't…"
"What?"
"*Sniff!* I'm sorry!!"
Realizing the gravity of her mistake, the goddess prostrated herself once more.
Suddenly, as if struck by a revelation, she lifted her head.
"Ah!"
"Did you think of any solution?"
[<*Goddess of the Erotic Game*> bestows her blessing upon you!]
"Special privilege! I'll grant you a special privilege! This world isn't so bad. There are many beautiful women, and…!"
"No…!! Didn't I ask you to send me back?"
[<*Goddess of the Erotic Game*> raises your charm to its utmost limit]
[Acquire the Mythic Ability: 『Divine Physique』!]
[Maximum capacity for Mythic Abilities reached]
[I have lifted the limit on the number of Mythical Powers possessed!]
[Acquire Mythic Power "Temptation of Blood"! Acquire Mythic Power "Lucky Lecher"!]
"I'll give you this too! And this! And this as well!"
"Hold on, just a minute… This is madness!"
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!! Waaah!"
[Acquire Mythic Power "Personality Expulsion"! Acquire Mythic Power "Saint's Protection"! Acquire Mythic Power "Immortal Discipline"!]
[Acquire Mythic Skill "Penetrating Gaze (Crimson)"!]
One could tell without even thinking that she was bestowing a myriad of rare skills, the kind one couldn't obtain through normal means.
I was genuinely sorry. That's why I managed to calm down before my anger reached its peak.
In the end, I saw the goddess's nape as she lay prostrate, as if she would accept any words from me.
*Sigh*…
"Since I've completely eliminated the difficulty of capturing, why not think of it as enjoying a harem?"
"I'm only interested in pure love."
"…"
"This erotic game is more to my friend's taste. Honestly, I don't like harems."
Sex is the fruit of love.
Content that seeks violent intercourse as if in a bestial frenzy is not to my liking.
Today, as usual, I simply fell asleep while immersing myself in my pure love collection.
I am utterly, unequivocally unrelated to this adult game.
Upon clarifying my preferences, the goddess's complexion turned ashen.
"…It may be a difficult request, but…"
"A difficult request?"
"Starting today, could you change your taste to a harem… No, alter the course… Please… can't you… Oh…?"
The blond goddess sobbed.
"…"
Sigh.
Should I give it a try? The diminutive goddess, who seems on the verge of vanishing under the burden of guilt, looks even more pitiable.
"In a fit of anger," she had recklessly endowed an enormous power capable of abducting a single human from another world, so much so that it demonstrated the depth of her love for her own creation and the pain she felt from the harsh criticism.
She appears to have a cute side as well.
"I think that guy was a bit too harsh with his words."
"…Yes?"
"I, too, appreciate beautiful women."
Building a harem was simply bothersome? That's simply not to my taste.
But living under the same roof with a lovely girl is a delightfully ordinary situation.
Ah, if it's a game, then she's not my real sister, right?
"Well, then…"
"I'll give it a try."
"I'll try."
I uttered these words, fully aware that this was a game. The goddess appeared immensely pleased.
"Uh, uh heh… In a way, Kim Sang-hyuk… you're the only player who will evaluate my genuine game without any preconceptions…!"
"…"
When did she even find out my name? It sends shivers down my spine.
"Is there anything I should know? I suddenly have an unknown family member… If there's a manual, let me know."
"There's no problem for the current Sang-hyuk, even if you don't know!! Experience it firsthand! Ehehe!"
Now, her reddened eyes well up with tears as she grins broadly.
…Right. What manual? It's best to learn a game by diving in headfirst.
Once the goddess vanished, I began my investigation with the room.
'Student ID.'
It seems to be an ID card proving that I am a student at Ethol Academy.
Stella appears to be a grade higher than her younger sibling.
The comprehensive evaluation is marked as "D-grade."
'Well, that's hardly commendable.'
Not knowing the original protagonist's background,
it's hard to say, but a second-year student with a D-grade overall evaluation might be considered a failure.
'The clock.'
7:30 AM.
Should I go out first, for the sake of my sibling who woke me up? We should get along if we're a new family.
I could feel my body tense up slightly before opening the door.
A new world. A new family. A new life.
Who could have known that such a significant change would come into my life, where each day was just like the one before?
"Ugh! This is so irritating. Why do we have to look after that jerk?"
"Stella, lower your voice…! It can be heard all the way up on the second floor."
"Let him hear. I can't even bring friends home because I'm embarrassed by that idiot."
Are they talking about me? It's tough right from the start.
I nearly gave up on going down the stairs.
Hearing my sibling call me an 'idiot'… I don't know much about it since I'm an only child, but is this how siblings usually interact?
"You were eavesdropping while hiding? Come out! It's so damn creepy."
"Stella…"
"Starting today, mom is on a business trip too. Why don't we establish a rule that idiots shouldn't even breathe in the same place as us?"
Descending the stairs, I formally confronted my two sisters.
Upon seeing her again, Serena truly is… exceptionally beautiful.
And her figure is astonishing.
With her cute black bobbed hair and mysterious purple eyes, her gentle and adorable face seems to convey a story. She appears to be the type who can't bring herself to say anything unpleasant to others, but…
…simply standing there, she exudes sensuality.
This is what an ideal seductive younger sister looks like.
'…Her breasts are large too.'
Afraid that staring openly would be inappropriate, I merely stole a quick glance, but even through her clothing, her ample bosom was undeniably evident.
"…"
Stella, wide-eyed and surprised, stares at me intensely.
Despite her barrage of verbal abuse resulting in the worst first impression possible, she too is as beautiful as Serena. Even her hostile demeanor, arms crossed in defiance, has a certain charm.
Serena's radiant blonde hair cascaded down in a side ponytail, her confident red eyes contrasting sharply with Serena's own appearance.
'Could it be just a coincidence…?'
If word got out that two women with such striking looks were living under the same roof, they would undoubtedly be approached by scouts every other day – whether they were looking for members of a girl group or cheerleaders.
"…Brother?"
Serena's eyes widened as she called out to me. Yet, out of all the times I had heard her say 'brother,' this instance felt the most filled with curiosity and interest. Just as I was surprised to see them, my sisters seemed equally astonished to see their new brother.
What should I answer when they ask who I am? A goddess, perhaps? Had I handled this situation correctly?
"Serena."
I decided to ask once more.
"Yes…"
I moved closer. Serena straightened her back and looked up at me, her eyes wide and full of wonder. Her slightly open mouth and blinking eyes exuded an air of innocent admiration.
"I'm your brother… right?"
"Yes… Yes… That's right… You're my brother…"
So Stella must be my sister as well.
As she turned around, the blonde girl flinched.
"Stella is also my sister."
"…"
"You shouldn't speak so harshly to your brother."
"What…"
Stella seemed to be experiencing confusion in her memories.
Maybe it's because my appearance now is so different from the older brother she remembers.
Regardless, she tightly closed her mouth and turned her head away, as if her new and updated brother's first impression was not an easy target.
"I'll go ahead."
"What about food?"
"I'm not eating breakfast!"
Stella stormed off coldly.
Left alone, Serena placed her hands in front of her stomach, fiddled with her fingers, and kept stealing glances at my face.
"Serena?"
"…Ah, um… Yes, brother…"
"Sorry for sounding weird… Where was the bathroom again?"
Serena guided me with hurried steps.
The height difference between us was quite significant.
"How tall are you?"
"One hundred and fifty… No! One hundred and sixty centimeters."
That means my height is close to 190 centimeters. 186? 187?
I've grown almost 15 centimeters…
No wonder the air around me felt a little different.
"Alright. Thank you."
Closing the bathroom door, I stand in front of the mirror.
'…What's this? A face so handsome it's genius.'
I laugh incredulously at the incredible situation.
Now I understand why my siblings stuttered so much upon seeing me.
Any woman would be at a loss if approached by a man who looks like this. It's akin to having my mind go blank when a really beautiful woman suddenly appears before me.
At least I know that I'm inside a game with an unrealistic setting.
"Ugh!"
I grimace at the sight of the filthy, yellowed white T-shirt, which resembles a dirty mop, and immediately strip it off.
Why did I wear something like this?
Once the T-shirt is removed, a chiseled body is revealed. I had guessed from the broad shoulders, but the physique is astonishingly attractive.
'Wow.'
This is the first time I've lost track of time while admiring a man's body.
Is this the "Divine Body"?
Face is handsome , body is handsome … and even a dick is handsome.
This incredibly handsome figure, including the dick, seemed to be my limited edition skin within the game.
"Status window."

"Hmm."
The goddess had mentioned that she completely eliminated the conquest difficulty. If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to raise the level to 9999? I pondered why my stats were set at 5 and why the perks don't even have explanations.
'She said the goddess created this world, right?'
In other words, the desires of a game developer. There must have been a yearning—despite easy mode—for those who play this game to fully enjoy it. Thus, instead of providing a true cheat from the beginning, enabling a one-second takedown of the final boss, it would be more fitting to offer convenience, allowing players to relish the planned events.
'It seemed like she just scattered them, but she actually distributed them thoughtfully.'
…Such a dark-hearted, perverted goddess.
Nonetheless, I have no interest in harems. My desire is to earn a substantial income through respectable work, marry a beautiful woman who loves me, raise three children, and live a harmonious life. The sinister powers are unlikely to be of any use.
'However…'
What is the Character Discharge?
Could it be a defensive attack skill? I shall give it a try later on.
