I pressed the small button on the top face of the cube firmly. The top part of the cube opened like wings unfurling. A blue light poured out from inside the cube, illuminating the surroundings. At the cube's core, two silver rings spun facing each other.
The Mana Cube, when activated, boosted the mana density in a three-meter radius to 100%.
"Suuuuup~ Ha!"
I deeply inhaled the refreshing mana. It felt several times cooler than chugging ice-cold water under the scorching summer sun.
The blue, glowing mana became visible to the naked eye.
With my current mana reserves, I shouldn't have been able to maintain it for even ten seconds under normal conditions—but this mana-rich space was the exception.
I pulled out my smartphone and checked the screen. Activating Spirit Eye had turned my pupils golden, and they now gleamed brightly.
'Oh. That's odd.'
The real issue wasn't the change in my eyes.
'Just staying put here would raise my mana stat, but if I use Ascendant Qigong, I can level it up even faster.'
I couldn't dive too deeply into Ascendant Qigong. I was practicing it in secret from Seong Ha-ri right now. Getting caught would make excuses tough, so I had to keep it moderate and quit while ahead.
'...Is it because this is a kid's body? Or the Mana Cube's influence? The effects of Ascendant Qigong are way better than I expected.'
Every inhale filled me with mana. It felt like everything in the world was abundant.
'Reinforcing it with Radiant Ascension Path would make it even better, right? Heh heh.'
I closed my eyes and focused on Ascendant Qigong.
The deeper my concentration, the more stray thoughts melted away.
At some point, I felt like I was floating high in the sky. My breathing slowed bit by bit.
'Whoa! Danger!'
I snapped my eyes open and immediately deactivated the Mana Cube. It reverted to its original cubic form.
'Nearly drowned in mana there.'
Mana density too high could intoxicate you to death. It was called mana poisoning—a phenomenon that rarely ever happened.
'This is far enough for now. My young body makes it hard to focus. And pushing a kid's frame too hard isn't smart.'
For mana training, steady daily sessions beat marathon ones every time.
I stowed the Mana Cube in my inventory and headed back to the bedroom. Grunting with effort, I clambered onto the bed and buried my face in Seong Ha-ri's massive breasts, kneading them with my hands.
'...Huh?'
No soft snores. Sensing something off, I lifted my head and locked eyes with a wide-awake Seong Ha-ri.
"Aww~! Whose kid are you, being this adorable?!"
Seong Ha-ri pulled me into a tight hug.
"Mama!"
"Yes, baby~ Mama's here."
Maybe from the mana training, drowsiness hit me fast. I was a kid now—no need to fight sleep. I shut my eyes, and consciousness faded.
???
"Yu-jin-ah. Close your eyes. Don't open them until Mama says it's okay."
"Okay."
I squeezed my eyes shut like Seong Ha-ri instructed.
Water cascaded over my head, and Seong Ha-ri's shampoo-lathered hands ruffled my hair. I cracked my eyes open just a sliver. In the mirror straight ahead, I saw her—naked—washing my hair from behind.
My gaze got stolen by her large, beautiful breasts. Even after childbirth, her nipples stayed that pretty virgin pink.
Her body probably wouldn't change even after ten years. S-rank-plus heroes aged at a snail's pace. Weakened by the Spirit King's binding or not, she was still SS-rank.
"Yu-jin-ah. Bubbles in your eyes will sting. Close them quick."
"Okay."
I shut them again as warm shower water rinsed my head.
"All done! Yu-jin-ah. Eyes open now."
"We're finished?"
"Nope~ Gotta wash the body next."
"......"
I made a show of trying to bolt, but Seong Ha-ri—who was ready for it—nabbed me. She scrubbed me down with a shower towel.
"Son. Hop in the tub first and play with the ducky."
"Okay."
Splash splash.
In the tub, I splashed around with the rubber duck toy.
'Pretending to be a toddler is exhausting in its own way.'
After messing around enough, I poked my head out and eyed Seong Ha-ri as she washed. Her ass matched her huge tits in size. No doubt her hips had widened post-birth.
'Damn. Killer figure. Wanna slam her down and dick her straight.'
But my dick stayed limp.
Sadness hit quick.
I couldn't control erections yet. Chance hard-ons were a pain to jerk, and no ejaculation anyway.
Sex was doable IRL too... but having this ripe body flaunt itself without being able to rail it? Gut-wrenching.
"Ahh. So refreshing. Yu-jin-ah. Mama's getting in."
Seong Ha-ri slipped into the tub. Our eyes met. I ogled her body openly.
"Yu-jin-ah. What's up?"
"How come Mama doesn't have a pee-pee?"
"Uh, u-um? Mama's a girl, sweetie."
"Girls got no pee-pees? Why?"
"B-Because girls just don't."
Seong Ha-ri stammered through her fluster. I peeked at her submerged crotch. No bath bomb, so the water stayed clear. Thick black bush hid her pussy.
Playing innocent, I reached out and palmed her pussy, fingering her clit with a press.
"Eek! Yu-jin-ah! Don't touch there!"
"Why? You touch mine."
"M-Mama won't anymore. You can't touch there either. Not other people. Promise?"
"Promise."
I brushed it off. Like hell I'd heed Seong Ha-ri. Chance hits, I'd maul that pussy.
"Why's Mama got hair down there?"
"Mama's a grown-up. Yu-jin'll get pee-pee hair when you're big."
Classic kid act here. Tub escape attempt two. Caught by Seong Ha-ri's arm, naturally.
"Yu-jin-ah~ Little longer, 'kay?"
"......'Kay."
She scooped me close with one arm. I scanned her erogenous zones.
None. Total insensitive.
Not a shock. I'd bedded no-spot women before.
Seong Ha-ri likely had zilch sex drive. No easy arousal, quick fade-outs—no orgasms ever.
'All dopey grins with me now, but she's no warm fuzzy to outsiders. SS-rank keeps dudes at bay.'
I knew the playbook for insensitive chicks.
Sensitivity Boost did the trick.
Most cases? Just no arousal. Spark one, force an orgasm—they tumble into sex bliss fast.
Erogenous zones? I'd develop 'em.
I groped her tit. Casual-like, but hit it with Sensitivity Boost nipple tease. Nip hardened right up.
"Y-Yu-jin-ah. Stop."
"Hurts?"
"Not hurt... just..."
"No touchy?"
I whined, eyes welling instant tears. Acting Lv. 6 perks.
"Ngh.... N-No, it's okay.... Just not other people's. Mama's only. Got it?"
"Got it."
Seong Ha-ri spoiled her boy rotten. Most begs? Granted.
Greenlit, I went ham on her rack. Nada at first, but soon flush crept in—breaths picked up a tad.
Mouth agape, I latched a nipple. She startled, then beamed and hugged me.
"Brings back the day. Missed Mama's milk, huh? No more though."
"......"
Too busy suckling.
Then a tingle down south—I peeled off her.
"Ma-Mama!"
"Hm?"
"Pee-pee hurts."
"......"
My dick stood rigid. Seong Ha-ri? No suck-off.
???
Kid life dragged. Adult brain made faking it brutal. Good thing: auto-mode.
No big events? Auto-progress ate the days.
Hit four years old. Thought struck:
'This ain't cutting it.'
Just dodging Seong Ha-ri for mana grinds. Key stat, sure—but timewasting sucked.
'Gotta bag Seong Ha-ri too... stalled hard.... Status!'
My stats now. Mana aside, zilch progress. Four years old—too toddler for other grinds.
'Spirit Eye for spirit pacts is viable... but zero sightings.'
Blame Seong Ha-ri. Her Spirit Predator (S) spooked 'em off. Park outing once netted a low wind spirit by fluke.
High-affinity pull drew it close—till it spotted Seong Ha-ri and bolted skyward.
"Yu-jin-ah~ Mama's off to work quick. Be good for So-hee noona."
"Okay."
"Muah for my boy."
"Mwah."
'Tongue out? Nah—save for prime shot later.'
Weekly 1-2 gigs took Seong Ha-ri out.
Prime spirit wrangling window. Catch: house never solo.
"So-hee-ya. He's all yours."
"Got it. Yu-jin'll be fine—worry not."
A-rank hero Han So-hee. Bobbed brown hair, A-rank babysitter gig on Seong Ha-ri's workdays.
Bodyguard, plain.
"Noona!"
Clung to Han So-hee's leg. Pantyhose thigh? Shape supreme, scent divine.
"Hm? Yu-jin-ah?"
"Yard play!"
"Yard again today? Sure."
Barriers blanketed yard-house full. Unauthorized in/out? Tall order.
'Spirits? Loophole.'
Exist but intangible. Non-special barriers couldn't nix 'em.
Faked yard frolic, fired Spirit Eye. Eyes goldened.
'Spirit Eye explodes affinity. Plus...'
Crackle. Zap zap.
Skyward finger sparked blue lightning. Spirit-summon flair. Fire draws fire sprites; wind, winders.
'Thunder spirit hookup? Future cakewalk.'
Dodged Han So-hee's gaze, darted yard spots firing Spirit Eye + bolts.
'Bust again. 30th dud?'
Sigh incoming—
Sky dropped snowy white thing. Perched on utility pole.
"......Bird?"
Squinted. No normie—white owl. Pure snow body, black eyes only.
'Thunder Owl!'
Low thunder spirit breed.
Unpacted sightings need prep usually—but Spirit Eye hooked me up.
Hand-waved Thunder Owl.
'Pact time! C'mere, fledgling!'
No shout—Han So-hee'd clock it. Frustrating.
Thunder Owl head-tilted my siren call. Stayed put. Seong Ha-ri scent lingering, probs. Norm affinty? Instant headbutt swarm.
Anxiety spiked. Spirit Eye clock: under a minute.
'Gotta be a play... Ah! This?'
Inventory: blue gemlet out.
Spirit Gem. Gacha haul. Shop price: fat 20 points.
"Gkuuk!"
Thunder Owl spied it—zipped front, ground-planted.
Fist-clenched over gem. Whispered tight:
"Show up? Headbutt greet proper, you manners-missing bird punk."
