I Transmigrated into the 19+ Adult RPG "Path of the Superhuman" and Cleared the Normal Ending After a Decade
The game that had started so casually for me, simply because the character illustrations were beautiful, had now become a full-blown life gamble after ten years.
At first I thought, “This is exactly my type of adult game—characters with the perfect looks for my taste. How do I even endure this?”
I started it with such a light heart. But then came the scream that shattered everything:
“Uwaaaaaaaa!!! Die already, please!!!”
Ten years later, my entire life had been rewritten into this game world. I had poured every drop of blood, sweat, and tears into it, and now the final boss was finally gone.
I stared at the screen, panting heavily. “Ha… ha… ha…”
With a final, echoing cry of [Kkiiiiiiiiek—!!!], the ultimate boss collapsed.
I had spent years grinding through that brutal final section alone—no guides, no help, just raw determination. It had felt like smashing an egg against a rock, yet somehow I had cracked it.
“There were so many hardships… it was truly exhausting.”
The memory of every painful moment flashed before my eyes, but it was over now. The game was reaching its end.
I thought back to the final route, the one where all my allies would be slaughtered. I had grinded desperately to save Ray, only to realize it was a forced death event. After defeating the final boss, the heroes were supposed to revive, right? That was the rule in every superhero game.
“Hmph.”
I waited eagerly for their resurrection, but the screen suddenly darkened.
[THE END]
Game over. I blinked and stared again.
[THE END]
No change. The screen stayed blank.
“It’s really over?”
Confusion flooded me. “Is this the ending? Just the protagonist survives while everyone else dies and the world collapses?”
“No way!!!”
This was the ending after grinding like a dog for a decade. There was supposed to be at least a post-credits scene, right?
“This bastard must have thought no one could beat it and skipped the normal ending entirely!”
Reasonable suspicion rose in me. At the same time, ten years of bottled-up rage began to boil over.
“You insane…!”
Just then, new text appeared on the black screen.
[You have reached the normal ending for the first time across all dimensions.]
[Heroes are simply too weak.]
[They can never even reach the normal ending. Only bad endings have been allowed to them.]
[But you are the only player who has led them to a normal ending.]
[The only player who has somehow strengthened their insufficient powers to reach the normal ending.]
[This world needs your strength.]
[Please lend me your power.]
A notification popped up right after:
[Normal Ending Clear Reward – Playable Character Creation Ticket]
“…Oh!!!”
I had believed it. My fury instantly vanished.
[Do you wish to use the Playable Character Creation Ticket?]
[Y/N]
“What the hell are you talking about? Use it now!”
Click.
[Playable character creation in progress…]
The character creation window appeared on screen. All the abilities I had seen over ten years of playing Path of the Superhuman were listed.
[Choose one ability to create a playable character.]
“Oh.”
They were basically begging me for help. This was me creating my second protagonist character. I had only one choice.
[Ability – “Superstar of the Machinery” to select?]
“Yes! Of course!”
Superstar of the Machinery — the ability originally belonging to the major villain, the Machine Doctor, in the story. It allowed creation, control, and enhancement of mechanical devices. A highly versatile power I had always wanted to use.
I selected it without hesitation.
[Selection confirmed.]
[Playable character Baek Woojin has been granted the “Superstar of the Machinery” ability.]
My name appeared at the top of the character window.
“……?”
Why was my name there? Had I used it when the game started? It felt too unfamiliar after ten years.
Before I could even process it, the window closed.
[Character creation complete]
[Test simulation ending]
[The paused world is beginning to move again.]
Strange text flooded the screen.
[Player Baek Woojin, please save the world.]
A blinding white light burst forth.
Whoosh—!
“Wah!”
I instinctively closed my eyes. When I opened them, I was staring at the cold, dead-end alley wall right in front of me. Murky puddles of water lay on the ground, surrounded by green moss. The corner of the world.
“……”
Creating the character had sent me through a portal of light. I had been unconscious, and now I was here. A back-alley dead end—completely familiar to the shut-in who only played games. This was transmigration.
“Game transmigration…”
Scuffling footsteps echoed from the end of the alley.
“Catch that brat!”
“Stop you bastard!”
“Wait up!!!”
The voices were male and vicious. At least three men were chasing one woman, and they were heading straight for my corner.
“Okay.”
I surveyed my surroundings. No escape routes. The alley was completely blocked by building walls.
“Ha… ha… Whoa? A person?!”
I had no time to move. They had already spotted me.
A woman with messy brown hair, face and neck drenched in sweat, was breathing heavily. She looked exactly like the one being chased.
“You knew I would come here and drove me into this dead end? You’re really calculating…”
“No, that’s—”
I tried to correct her, but she was cut off by the men bursting into the alley. Three of them, matching the voices I had heard.
“What now? Can’t run anymore? You should have just stopped willingly… Hm? Who the hell is this guy? A comrade?”
One man chuckled, then froze when he saw me. His expression hardened.
“Eh?”
The woman panicked for a split second, then switched to a completely different tone.
“Yes! He’s my comrade! A terrifying mercenary who can wipe out those annoying bastards in one go!”
?? What?
She suddenly clung to my side and blurted out in a desperate whisper so the men wouldn’t hear.
“This is fate that we met like this. Just help me once. Take this first.”
She pressed something into my palm while speaking in a low voice.
“This is a Spider Bomb. The power isn’t that strong, but it’ll surprise them enough. When I signal, throw it at them. Got it?”
It seemed she wanted to use me to escape the crisis. But her words barely registered.
Due to my player authority, item information appeared in front of me.
[Spider Bomb (N)]
[A small mechanical bomb shaped like a spider. The gunpowder isn’t fully charged, so it only causes minor burns on the skin.]
The Spider Bomb looked exactly like the ones I remembered from the game. But the most important detail was right below it.
[You can enhance the target using the “Superstar of the Machinery” ability.]
[Target: Spider Bomb (N)]
[Do you wish to enhance the target?]
“Okay, three… two… one… enhance.”
“Wait—”
With a flick of my wrist, the Spider Bomb left my hand in a perfect arc and flew straight at the three men.
Before the woman could even react, the explosion roared.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-boom!
The entire alley shook. The three men slammed into the wall and passed out cold.
“Eh… eh?”
The woman stared at me with her mouth wide open. I asked her calmly, “Right now, what year, month, and day is it?”
“Uh… February 8, 2039…”
It felt colder than it should have been for February. Everything suddenly clicked into place.
I had been sucked into the world of Path of the Superhuman.
“……”
Is this real?
