Chapter 736

〈 Chapter 736 〉 Part 2, Chapter 6, Scene 01

“It’s inadequate.”

The bald man sat in his chair, stroking his chin.

“With this, I can’t be satisfied.”

He muttered to himself while scanning the monitors before him.

There, women with blue hair lived their various lives in different ways.

“What I wanted was something like this… but still…something…”

The bald man licked his lips and zoomed in on one screen.

There, a blond youth writhed in the embrace of several women without pause.

How delightful is the sight of a single man engaging with multiple women?

“Hmm…”

But the bald man seemed far from pleased.

“Harems are good, but still insufficient.”

The bald man made a call on his smartphone.

A young man in a yellow hoodie appeared on the screen.

[What is it?]

“Yo. Thinking of doing an update.”

[What kind of update?]

“Take a look at this. The sea crew came up with a new idea recently. Check it out.”

The bald man sent a link.

The yellow-hooded youth scrunched his face as soon as he saw its contents.

[Isn’t this too much? President, you’re thinking of turning this into a show?]

“You caught me. But hear me out. If people only want one thing, isn’t more always better? More is merrier, right?”

[That’s true, but…]

“Let them choose freely, and they’ll figure it out themselves.”

[Then how do we implement this in the game?]

“Simple.”

The bald man stroked his head and grinned widely.

“We’ll deploy TS beams.”

[…President.]

“No, listen. There are so many monsters in the world; why wouldn’t there be one that changes someone’s gender?”

[A brilliant decision indeed.]

The yellow-hooded youth clapped and whistled.

[Definitely no problem if it appears mid-game. Afterward, it’s up to them what they do, and all we need to do is watch their actions, correct?]

“Exactly. And there’s another request.”

The bald man turned his head toward the large screen to his right.

“Send it off as soon as it’s ready.”

Inside the screen, a giant capsule glimmered, containing a naked woman with pale skin submerged in green nutrient liquid.

[Won’t that cause chaos?]

“So what? Isn’t it better if everyone likes it? If the parties involved are happy, what can they do about it?”

The bald man chuckled mischievously and licked his lips.

“Kid, stop clinging to just one person. In virtual reality, you could play around without any burden, right? Now, try messing around with multiple people in real life and see how long you last!”

The bald man stared out the window and shouted.

“Grand Unification! From now on, let’s go all out! Hahahaha!!”

Following the bald man’s orders, a new pinpoint update began.

* * *

“DLC 2.1?”

I felt perplexed looking at the newly updated content.

“What’s so special about calling it 2.1?”

“Why? Did something new happen?”

Shin-ra, who was cooking in the kitchen, put down her utensils and approached me.

“2.1 update?”

“You’ve been busy lately, haven’t you? You barely logged in.”

“That’s true. I only went in when I had some free time. Hmm…where were we again?”

“We finished Kim Penril’s route. It’s time for Chapter 4.”

“Azidahaka.”

Shin-ra snapped her fingers and tilted her head.

“Even with a quick run, we can finish easily, or we could collect everything and move forward.”

“I’m not playing; you are.”

Shin-ra plays, and I relay.

“So, what’s in this 2.1 update?”

“There’s nothing.”

“…This feels unsettling.”

As I felt uneasy, Shin-ra also sensed unease.

“If they update without telling us what it is, what does that mean? Are they going to take us back?”

“No way. That will never happen.”

Even if the sky splits in half, such a thing will never occur. I reached for the update button.

“Are you doing it?”

“Well, it doesn’t seem bad…”

Shin-ra intertwined her finger with mine.

We pressed the update progress button simultaneously and were shocked by the developer’s prepared update content.

“What the hell…”

“Wow…”

Shin-ra looked at the single line of the activated update content and…

“Oh my gosh!”

“Is this really worth getting excited over?”

“Of course! Oh, no one can stop this update now. Puhehe, let’s jump in right away!”

Shin-ra clung to me.

“No. We’re busy these days.”

“Please, come on. This is a great opportunity. Besides, we moved to a new house, making things more convenient, didn’t we?”

“……”

That’s right. We moved to a new house.

From my original home, we relocated to a newly developed city.

Adapting to a new environment can be challenging, but humans are creatures of adaptation.

We will adapt to this environment once again.

“There’s no reason not to update, right?”

“Then what about gameplay?”

“Uh, well…”

Shin-ra gently touched my shoulder and smiled faintly.

“To be honest, my goal in playing is to interact with the heroines.”

“I get it. Sexual interaction, right?”

“Yes, exactly. I don’t care much about the process leading up to the bed, but I’m highly interested in what happens on top of it.”

“That goes for me too.”

I wrapped my arms around Shin-ra’s waist. However, she shook her head and placed her finger on my lips.

“I suddenly want to view.”

“Where did you learn such words?”

“On the internet, you pick up all sorts of things. If we update and end up in bed, and if this update is real—”

“Go ahead and enjoy.”

Shin-ra widened her eyes in surprise. I patted her back.

“Do what you want. I’ll always support you.”

“You…”

Shin-ra embraced my face.

“If only I were born as a girl, it would have been nice. Reality is sad because we can’t ‘view.'”

“At least you can enjoy it with me through role-playing.”

“That’s different. Anyway, thank you for allowing me. Alright, let’s update then…”

“……”

Click.

Together with Shin-ra, I pressed the button.

A brief silence fell, followed by the connection device flickering as our consciousness flowed into the virtual world.

Sssshh.

Our consciousness entered the world.

I returned to the world I had neglected for a long time.

“…….”

The first thing I saw upon opening my eyes was evidence of a wild orgy.

On the extra-wide double king-sized (custom-made) bed lay Yuinah, Park Ra-on, and Kim Nori, all naked.

‘This smell…’

It was clear how much they’d done before logging out; the odor was intense.

I opened the window for ventilation and tried to switch places with Chang-yeom.

‘But there doesn’t seem to be anything changed due to the update?’

I entered with some anxiety, but there wasn’t anything particularly different. I was still fully myself as the protagonist, Baek Cheonghwa, and the golden-haired Western male appearance remained unchanged.

‘Is this even the update?’

Just as I thought that,

“……Damn.”

My body started to boil from within. A strange sensation hit me, and my heart began pounding.

‘Could this be…’

Flap.

A woman with blue wings appeared before me. Without warning, as if she had been waiting for me all along, she flapped her wings and winked at me.

“Hello there? Hehe.”

[That woman!]

The Shin-ra inside me became enraged upon seeing Phoenix mimicking her exact appearance while performing a finger kiss.

“What did you do? Why Korea all of a sudden?”

“Well, I thought this might work nicely. They say revelations come from heaven; isn’t this somewhat similar?”

Phoenix pulled something from her bosom, causing the hairs on my body to stand up.

“A Cube?!”

[Something I got recently from South America. Thought I’d give you a nice present.]

I wondered. What could possibly make Phoenix suddenly appear and use a Cube?

If there was any reason, it had to be one:

Update 2.1.

Nothing else.

In the middle of Seoul guarded by Light Blade, surrounded by SS+ grade heroes like Kim Penril, and without any prior signs or warnings, it’s impossible for Blazing Phoenix to fly in!

“Heavenly revelation, you said? Well, if you want to break this seal, you’ll have to defeat me. Hehe.”

[Don’t fight her! Run!]

“Receive this, Nang Ik Cheon Hwa (Girl Drowning Heaven Fire)!”

[Yesss! Go for it! Wow! That’s me!]

‘Ahh, she’s trolling.’

As soon as Shin-ra realized what the flames Blazing Phoenix was throwing meant, she froze me in place.

Screech.

Right before I could remove the connection headset, she stopped me by taking my member into her mouth—

Whoosh.

And then I was entirely consumed by the flames of the Cube launched by Blazing Phoenix.

When I opened my eyes again, everything had changed.

“Damn it.”

I had become a woman.

* * *

Flap.

Blazing Phoenix soared into the sky.

On top of the 63 Building stood a green cat-eared maid girl, Penril of Gale, bound by fiery barriers, growling.

“You…!”

“Don’t worry, I didn’t kill her.”

Blazing Phoenix brought Penril of Gale to Seoul and subdued her.

Penril fought back with full strength, but against Phoenix wielding the power of the Cube, she had no chance.

Nature. Magic Power.

“How can you use the Cube so freely?”

To wield the transcendent power of the Cube with such ease?

There’s no hope for victory for the commander or humanity.

“Not a big deal. Hehe.”

The Cube burned with blue flames and vanished.

It wasn’t disappearing but completing its task as a disposable item, which gave Penril goosebumps.

“The will of those who wished to use this Cube, combined with my own intentions, and the wishes of countless others. Moreover…”

Flap!

Behind Blazing Phoenix, yellow wings unfolded.

“Since we’re in a new land, God revealed that we should soar even more fiercely. The commander will transform into a new form.”

“What?! What did you do to the commander?!”

“Nothing major. If something looks good, shouldn’t it taste good too? Just made them more beautiful and pretty.”

Blazing Phoenix pointed to the magical gear on her wrist and the sun hanging in the sky.

“DayViewNightJewel.”

“What does that even mean…?”

“In short, the famous Xi-an ½? Hehe. Upon reflection, while being penetrated deeply is great, there’s demand for viewing too, isn’t there?”

Blazing Phoenix proudly spread her arms wide and smiled broadly.

“From now on, it’s mutual viewing. Hehe.”
