The Strange Laws of Another World

This world is bizarre.

It was vastly different from the one I knew.

A two-wheeled vehicle raced forward at breakneck speed. I sat behind her, arms wrapped tightly around her waist, hurtling ahead faster than any carriage.

The wind whipping past felt refreshingly cool against my body.

The sensation of my tail swaying behind me felt strangely unfamiliar today. Until now, I had always appeared before people in the form of a massive beast. But right now… well, I was dressed up to look as cute as possible for others. No wonder it felt so odd.

Come to think of it, I haven’t gone outside much, have I?

I let out a soft sigh and rested my head against her back. A peculiar, tingling sensation began to creep over me.

Damn… this is seriously incredible!

To be honest, it felt way too good.

I’ve always had a serious weakness for women. No matter what anyone says, clinging to the back of a beauty like this was nothing short of the ultimate reward for me.

What? I’m a Calamity God, so isn’t it only natural I should be able to have a beauty like her?

Ah, I did once tell them to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠offer me a sacrifice, but… how should I put it…

It just didn’t quite work out.

The world I came from was filled with people who were all skin and bones. It couldn’t be helped. The cult that worshipped me only ever wanted one thing: for the world to fall into chaos. And back then, I mindlessly granted that chaos simply because they asked.

Naturally, in a world drowning in chaos and ruin, beautiful women simply didn’t exist.

When everyone was struggling just to eat and drink properly, how could any beauties appear? Of course, there were the occasional women born with natural beauty by sheer luck, but they weren’t what I considered true beauties. They were just…

Skinny, extremely slender, with literally no flesh on their bodies—women whose only redeeming feature was a decent face.

But the woman in front of me right now was exactly my type. She had a voluptuous figure that would have been unimaginable in my previous world.

On top of that, she had the perfect size to hold, and her face was breathtakingly beautiful!

She was on a completely different level from the insane cultist women who could only pray for the world to be destroyed. I never thought I’d see such a healthy, vibrant body in my lifetime.

It seemed those bastards really had sent me to another world. Well, I didn’t particularly have any fond memories of my old one anyway, so I didn’t mind.

“U-um… Big sis? Where are we going, exactly?”

I breathed out softly and kept my face buried against her back as I asked. The feeling of her soft flesh pressing against me through the skin-tight full-body stockings was so amazing that I almost lost myself in it.

Pretending to act cute and clueless like this was surprisingly fun. These people seemed to think I was some naive little fool. It was a huge relief that they had no idea I was actually much older than I looked.

If they knew… I wonder if they’d be disgusted.

“For now, we’re heading to the Hunter Department. We need to report what happened to you.”

“My situation?”

“Yeah… it looks like you got caught up in a Descent Ritual.”

A Descent Ritual? I had a rough idea of what it meant just from the name.

It literally referred to a ceremony that summoned a god into a human body. It usually wasn’t a good thing. The humans who underwent it often lost their minds completely.

In my case, they hadn’t actually performed the ritual on me. Forcing a Calamity God—one capable of destroying the world the moment he descended—into a human vessel was closer to a seal than anything else.

“To think they’d try to drag an innocent boy like you into a Descent Ritual. These people are the worst of the worst.”

I heard her lightly grit her teeth as she spoke.

Something felt… off. It was less like she was angry that a young boy had nearly been sacrificed, and more like she was furious that a man had been offered as tribute.

Whoosh—whoosh—

The wind rushed past from behind, and I instinctively let out a small “Hik!” before clinging to her with all my strength.

There were simply too many things in this world I was seeing for the first time. A city overflowing with dazzling lights. Tools that emitted strange glows—nothing like moonlight, starlight, or even natural fire.

Every building had flashing rectangular panels attached to it, and the streets were lined with white poles that drove away the darkness with their artificial light. Darkness had always been the domain of monsters, beasts, evil gods, and demons. That light seemed to be relentlessly erasing such shadows.

It was as if civilization was forcibly wiping out the territory of beings like me.

Not that light like that could actually do anything to me. It just looked incredibly strange and fascinating.

I had no idea how long we rode that two-wheeled steel horse. I was starting to doze off, nodding my head, when suddenly I heard a loud screech as the vehicle came to a stop.

“Ugh—”

I think I might have drooled a little. That should be fine, right?

I stretched with a big yawn and rubbed my eyes. At some point she had gotten off the vehicle and was now lifting me down onto the ground.

“You must’ve had a good nap. Maybe the descent wasn’t that bad after all.”

“Mmm… thank you, big sis.”

I gave her a small bow and looked up at her with a bright, innocent smile.

Should I call it playing harmless? To be blunt, I was planning to latch onto this foolish woman in front of me like a leech from now on.

Heh. So of course I had to provide some basic service. Even back when I was a Calamity God, I gave far more fan service than this. This was practically a bargain.

“Eep…”

Her cheeks flushed bright red as she turned her head away. Honestly, wasn’t she reacting a bit too strongly to such a simple gesture?

Anyone watching would think she’d never seen a man before. Sure, I’d put a lot of effort into crafting this body, but wasn’t she liking it a little too much?

Humming a light tune, she gently took my hand as if she trusted me completely. Then she looked at me with those big, sparkling eyes.

“Seriously… latching onto me so quickly. In this day and age, that kind of behavior can get you in serious trouble, so be careful!”

Even though I’d clung to her like that, instead of being happy about it, she actually warned me that it was dangerous.

But… why did it sound so strange? It was as if she wasn’t talking about a man clinging to a woman, but rather a defenseless woman latching onto a man.

Hmm… am I overthinking it? It probably isn’t anything serious.

Even if something did happen, my power would be more than enough to handle it, so it didn’t matter.

By the way, what should I say about this place… there are so many women here.

As I looked around, and after riding on Suyeon’s two-wheeled steel horse, I realized one thing.

It wasn’t anything complicated. There were strangely, overwhelmingly many women in this world.

It was as if the male species itself was extremely rare. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠No, I genuinely hadn’t seen a single man yet. It was all women! What the hell was this?

Could it really make sense that there were almost no men? Or was there some circumstance I didn’t know about?

Since I had fallen into an entirely different world, maybe there were strange laws here that I wasn’t aware of.

In that case, maybe the bizarre outfit the woman in front of me was wearing was part of those laws too.

She was completely wrapped in black stockings, but there was no fabric at all covering her lower half.

That outrageous sight, fully exposing her lower body, was honestly enough to make even me—who had once ruined entire nations—feel awkward just looking at it.

I didn’t even know where to direct my eyes.

And yet, the only thing covering her chest was a thin white cloth. I had no idea what to call that.

At first I thought the extreme lewdness was actually pretty great, but the longer I looked, the more I started wondering if this could possibly make any sense.

Still, feeling her body heat and scent directly through the thin stockings was nice. The warmth seeping into me felt absolutely amazing.

I was trying my best to pretend I didn’t notice Suyeon’s outfit as I followed her inside, when—

“Ah, Suyeon? Did you clear this dungeon—?”

A woman waiting by the door, dressed in a similarly outrageous outfit, frowned as she spoke.

“Suyeon…? Who is that man? Wait, you brought a man? You did?”

“Uh, senior…?”

“You’re not telling me you did something insane, are you? No matter what, kidnapping is a serious crime. You should turn yourself in while you still can.”

“Senior…?”

The atmosphere suddenly turned icy cold. Watching two women in completely insane outfits pressing their chests together while talking about turning herself in, I genuinely couldn’t even laugh.

Weren’t they the ones wearing even crazier clothes? Had everyone here gone mad?

“To think you’d kidnap a man as rare as him and bring him here. Even if you’re an A-class hunter, you know this is going to cause massive trouble. So just turn yourself in now, okay?”

“S-senior! It’s not like that! This is—”

Her hesitant stuttering only made the surrounding atmosphere even stranger. At some point, a crowd had gathered and was now whispering while staring at Suyeon.

“Even if she’s a hunter, a man…? Does that even make sense?”

“Isn’t this a serious crime?”

“Tsk… oh my god. And look at those ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠ears and tail on his head… Don’t tell me she has that kind of fetish?”

Thanks to all the whispering, she was suddenly on the verge of being treated like a ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠criminal.

Wait, was this really such a serious matter? I genuinely couldn’t tell if this was normal here.
