Possession
Possession
'Ugh... my head....'
A headache crushed me, accompanied by the regret of whether I'd drunk too much last night.
'Why is it so noisy around here....'
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and opened them.
However, the scene reflected in my eyes was quite different from my room.
It was none other than the fact that I had woken up in a place that looked like an entrance ceremony.
I couldn't believe the scene my eyes were seeing and pinched my cheek.
'Am I actually crazy?'
It's been over 8 years since I graduated high school, so what the hell is this situation?
Even the students around me weren't normal.
Instead of the black hair that would be visible on an average Korean, there were pink, yellow, white... and other brilliantly colored hair spread out.
Meanwhile, a person who looked like a principal? standing on the auditorium stage held a microphone and continued speaking.
"Then, we will now proceed with the entrance oath to decorate the end of the entrance ceremony.... Representative of the new students... please come forward...."
Then, a beauty with snow-white hair who had been sitting in the front row stood up and went up toward the auditorium stage.
On her face, I felt a strange impression.
A feeling like I had seen her somewhere.
Soon, I realized that my feeling wasn't wrong.
'That's... Baek Seolyoon...?'
She was none other than the heroine who appeared in the trendy romantic comedy manga I had been watching until last night.
If this is reality.
If I had done something like possessing the world of that romantic comedy manga, one problem arises.
Namely....
'That manga is 19+!!'
That's right.
It's not just any 19+.
It was a work famous for being a manga where all the readers who read it immediately realized why the work became 19+ due to its suggestiveness.
In the first place, the author was a famous 19+ specialized underground artist, and even the readers worshipped such an author as a 'man of culture'.
I never thought I'd end up paying for adult manga in my life, but... the memory of last night, when I binged it because the story was more fun than I thought, is still vivid.
Above all, the reason this manga was treated as 'underground' by people.
The reason lies in the setting.
It's a world where the low birth rate is so serious that they implement all sorts of pro-sex policies to increase the birth rate.
Then I can guess where I am to some extent.
International Sex Education Institute. A.k.a. 'Academy'.
As it's a 19+ manga setting, it's no exaggeration to say it's a place where all the shameless things in the world happen.
The so-and-so acts of the protagonist and heroines also all happen at this Academy.
Around the time I was deeply buried in my own thoughts. Before I knew it, Baek Seolyoon, who had finished the entrance oath, was showing off her elegant white hair as she came down from the podium and was also coming down from the auditorium stage.
When she came down from the auditorium stage. I accidentally made eye contact with her.
Although it was a time of only 1 second, when I was feeling for myself that her eyes and mine had definitely met.
─Ding!
'...What is this again?'
A blue square window was floating in front of me.
'Ah, right. This was a modern fantasy.'
I was able to review the manga genre that I had binged for over 200 chapters.
After the entrance ceremony, behind the empty auditorium building.
Fortunately, as seen in the manga, since a little free time was given after the entrance ceremony, I was able to come here quietly without raising any suspicion.
For now, I need to figure out the identity of this blue window.
I immediately touched and poked the blue window here and there.
Then, the square window grew in size on its own and soon became the appearance of a 'Status Window' that you might see in a game, with various boxes and letters visible.
"...Is this really a Status Window?"
I immediately looked at the letters written on the square window that I named this Status Window.
[Kwon Daesung]
[17 years old (29 years old)]
[Affiliation: Academy]
The square window was displaying information about me, truly proving that it was a Status Window.
And....
[Penis length:...]
[Penis thickness:...]
Even information that is embarrassing to say.
For a moment, I had forgotten that this world was a 19+ sex manga.
While I was making the Status Window do this and that, I was able to find a box labeled [Quest].
When I clicked it.
Numerous quests popped out like mushrooms.
Even among them, there were quests that had already been cleared.
[Tutorial Quest: First Meeting]
-Condition: Encounter one of the random heroines
-Reward: Status Window Unlocked
'It really was a Status Window.'
The identity of this square window was also revealed before long.
More than that... that word 'heroine'.
'As expected, Baek Seolyoon must be a heroine.'
There is a heroine of the manga that centers on this world.
That means.
'Protagonist' will also exist.
And there is one important point.
The Status Window, one of the many settings of this manga.
The protagonist guy also has this Status Window.
Even the same one as me.
To be precise, it's correct to see that I have the same thing as his.
I was so distracted during the entrance ceremony that I couldn't even properly see who was around, but as long as Baek Seolyoon exists. He must exist too.
Then the answer is decided.
'I should survive by appropriately sucking honey next to the protagonist.'
My survival information about this world is close to 0.
To live normally in a world like this, it's important to ride the line well.
And the protagonist?
A lifeline where success is guaranteed. More than that.
Even if I just play the role of his right-hand man next to him, there won't be any trouble making a living.
'The problem is the Academy....'
I looked at the quest in the Status Window floating in front of me.
That quest was none other than.
[Main Quest: Academy]
-Condition: Graduate from the Academy.
-Reward: ???
-Failure: Death
Unlike the tutorial quest earlier, it was a quest with a heinous penalty of death upon failure.
'The protagonist didn't have a quest like this?'
The guy was full of quests that made it seem like the whole world was forcing him to succeed.
Because he enjoyed all sorts of lucky ecchi events while taking all the rewards from the quests.
Then even more so, I must secure the spot next to the protagonist.
That is the best way to graduate safely from this chaotic Academy where you don't know what will happen when and where.
With this, what I need to do is decided.
'Let's find the protagonist first.'
I moved my feet quickly.
And now.
"...Ha."
I was dragged in front of the infirmary where a huge line was formed without being able to do anything, let alone find the protagonist.
The time was about 30 minutes ago.
After the entrance ceremony, while heading to where the protagonist would be to find him, who was exploring the Academy grounds in the manga....
"Hey, new student there! There will be a 'Measurement Test' for class placement, so come to the infirmary!"
I was caught by an Academy teacher passing by and was dragged to the building where the infirmary is, unable to do anything.
Even if I try to finish as quickly as possible and go find him.
I don't have the guts to cut through that loooong line and get the 'test' quickly, so I quietly walked to the back of the line.
The back of the line I was heading to... I was able to find the end of the line after a long journey of a whopping 5 minutes.
'...Even our upperclassmen are all here.'
The Academy is a 4-year system, and every year, class placement is newly implemented through a 'Measurement Test'.
The better the record in the test, the higher the class you are assigned to, and the less so, the lower the class you are assigned to.
If you can't even be assigned to the lowest class....
─It's expulsion.
─P-please, if you give me one more chance!
─The Academy has already given you many chances.
─A, ah...."
Expulsion immediately.
A simple and clear but scary rule.
At that moment.
Someone lined up behind me.
I turned my head to see who it was, and after a quick glance, I opened my eyes wide.
Because on the name tag attached to his Academy uniform top, the name [Gong Inju] was attached.
That's right. That guy is the protagonist of this world.
It is Gong Inju.
I immediately pretended to be nonchalant and casually spoke to him.
"Um, by any chance, are you also a new student at the Academy?"
"...Yes."
The guy answered my question with a blunt face while lightly nodding his head.
His height, which seemed to be more than 10cm shorter than me, who is 180cm, was especially noticeable.
'It's really something that a guy like this later becomes an alpha male who seduces all the women....'
As I said, the guy has a Status Window just like me.
As the story progresses, he clears quests and obtains all sorts of rewards to 'grow'.
Like that, around 100 chapters later. This guy grows into a chick magnet.
'That's when the full-scale sex scenes start coming out.'
To be honest, the artist drew so well that I was also drawn into a racy mood and almost brought my hand to my crotch.
I immediately followed up on his answer and made a proposal that wasn't really a proposal.
"I'm a new student too, and I don't have any friends. If it's not rude, would you like to be friends with me?"
Gong Inju continued his short silence once again, and eventually, he reluctantly nodded his heavy head slightly and accepted my friend request.
"...Sure."
Between his grumpy and blank face, I could see his short stature and a cute face that girls would like.
For your information, I am not gay.
I'm just stating the facts.
Anyway, the important point is that by this world's standards, Gong Inju's height is not absolutely small.
If the average height of adult males in my original world was in the 173cm range.
In this world.
It's in the early 160cm range.
