Chapter: 51

Chapter Title: Hero's Daughter

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Leila, once one of the Transcendents of Baekun Nation and now hailed as a hero.

Her life had been smooth sailing.

Like the protagonists striding through the capital, she had earned the Wise Mother Good Wife qualification and even taken on the role of guarding a man.

If only love had blossomed in the process.

It would have been the picture of success.

But as every life has its twists and turns, her greatest crisis struck.

Void entities suddenly blanketed the city center.

"Luke, you must head to the shelter."

"No way! There'll be a ton of women there, right? Just imagining getting eye-raped is horrifying."

Shelters, designed for emergencies, offered virtually no accommodations for men.

Even as Luke whined like a child about not wanting to go, Leila showed no sign of displeasure. She knelt before him and bowed her head.

"Luke, it could be dangerous."

"No, you're an Aura Master at the third stage, aren't you? That means you're super strong! The other women are all Sword Masters too! I don't need to run, right?!"

"It's true that we're strong, but we don't know how powerful a Void Entity is if it can tear through the city's defensive barriers."

But despite Leila's earnest pleas, Luke kept sniveling like a spoiled brat.

This was the average man in this world.

Surrounded by women and fed whatever was handed to them, they'd ended up like this.

Only a rare few felt gratitude toward the women who cared for them.

"...Understood. Please forgive my rudeness."

In the end, Leila committed the crime of touching Luke's body without permission as he resisted.

"Let go! This is sexual harassment! Y-you're gonna eat me up!! Just like the other women!!"

With Luke on her back, Leila led his other guards, wives, and concubines toward the shelter.

Kwajijik-!

Mid-flight, the sky ripped open, and tentacle-like Void Entities emerged.

"Crazy..."

"Everyone... run... fast..."

Kwang!

The tentacles attacked Luke and his group relentlessly, as if determined not to let them escape.

Void Entities targeted men.

Because they needed men's semen to gain even greater power.

"Urk...!!"

Leila fought desperately to protect Luke, but the enemy was far too strong.

All the other guards and Luke's wives were already dead, save for Leila.

Leila herself had lost vision in one eye and the use of one arm due to the Void Entity's powerful curse.

'Am I going to die now?'

As Leila contemplated death.

Fortunately, one of the Ten Thousand Year Elders appeared and dispatched the Void Entity.

Thanks to that, Leila survived.

But.

"Ah... I couldn't even protect you properly! What the hell is this! I don't need a guard like you!!"

After that, she could never guard another man.

Rumors spread that she was a guard who had failed to protect her charge, making men wary of her. And the curse on her eye and arm was so potent that she couldn't serve anyway.

She was clearly a hero who had saved a man.

Yet the treatment she received from men was anything but heroic.

"You want me to impregnate her? No way!"

"Then we have no choice but to exclude her from all welfare benefits."

Still, because she had risked her life to protect Luke, she was able to get pregnant and give birth to Ninav.

That much was a blessing.

Geum Taeyang, browsing Ninav's wiki page alongside his viewers, grimaced.

It felt like he'd glimpsed the deep, dark underbelly of this world's men.

And the fact that it eerily mirrored the opening of that movie he'd watched on his date with Park Hana made it all the more horrifying.

A critically acclaimed film based on true events, not fiction.

"Whoa... this is for real? That's too much."

"...?"

The viewers' reactions clashed wildly with Geum Taeyang's.

"No, is getting someone pregnant really that big a deal?"

Through his viewers, Geum Taeyang learned just how rare pregnancy was.

In a world where most men recoiled at even skin contact with women, it wasn't easy.

If laws hadn't mandated how many times a month husbands had sex with their wives, no children would be born from wombs.

Most women had kids using semen collected by obligation from men and their own extracted eggs.

Not in their own bodies, but in external incubators.

That's why they said "have a child," not "get pregnant."

"Pregnancy" was reserved for natural conception via internal ejaculation and carrying to term in the womb.

Learning this, Geum Taeyang clutched his head.

"This is dizzying. For real."

The enforcers, spotting those repeatedly mentioning internal ejaculation at Geum Taeyang's word, asked.

Geum Taeyang waved them off and continued the broadcast.

"Aight, moving on. So Ninav's the kid born to Hero Leila."

"Ah... hasn't even finished elementary? Why?"

"Ninav was so proud of her hero mom that in kindergarten, she cussed out a little boy who called her mom a woman who couldn't protect her man properly. They deemed her 'yellow-bellied' and denied her entry to elite elementary."

Hmm... Fair enough.

Geum Taeyang kept that last ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠thought to himself.

"What...?!"

Geum Taeyang quickly scrolled down the wiki.

====

Once hailed as the hero's daughter with high expectations, she couldn't enter elite elementary and graduated public school instead, after which she started going astray.

That might've been when she turned to crime.

She's committed many heinous acts, but the worst target men: selling them booze over 5% proof at exorbitant prices or offloading unsellable commercial buildings to saddle them with loans.

Not illegal, but gray-area crimes all the same.

Rumor has it she's a man-hater.

She sets up blind dates with men on purpose.

Then repeats shit till they break down crying and flee the date.

====

Th... that's the crime? Not much there.

Selling booze? And offloading a slow-selling building is just legit real estate, right?

No procedural issues mentioned; seems the guy just bought blind.

"...Men can't drink over 5%?"

The more he read the wiki, the more he heard from viewers.

The more Geum Taeyang pitied Ninav.

To him, she was just a pioneer.

A child who grasped the world's truths too young.

Because of that, she'd faced endless discrimination and grown crooked.

When most men in this world were pigs who couldn't do shit without women.

'Poor girl.'

With just one decent man by her side, she might not have strayed.

Might not have become a man-hater pointed at by fingers.

Plus, her mom was a soldier's daughter who'd staked her life to protect someone.

This treatment felt wrong.

'If my parents died defending the nation and I got treated like this, I'd be pissed too.'

"So Ninav's gotta be a lesbian, right?"

Not a lesbian...

Geum Taeyang smirked faintly. Then maybe he could have a nice chat with her.

Not with words, but with his body.

"Good thing. We can talk it out at the blind date."

The viewers flooded the chat with worried donations, but Geum Taeyang brushed them off.

For some reason, he had baseless confidence he'd hold his own in front of Ninav.

Maybe from eating so many women since coming to this world.

Or some instinctual hunch.

Whatever it was, he was bold.

"That's it for today's stream. Oh, and streams might be irregular from now on 'cause I'm prepping something. See you next time~"

The chat exploded.

But regardless, Geum Taeyang ended the stream.
