The Idiot Becomes a Muscular Macho!!!
Another bright and sunny morning.
Park Chiyou’s mornings always began with a call from her personal maid.
“My lady, it is time to wake.”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work.”
Normally this would have been the butler’s duty, but the previous head butler was now facing legal punishment thanks to all of Chiyou’s connections. On top of that, all four of his limbs had been crippled. For all intents and purposes, his life was over.
Some might wonder how she could treat a servant who had attended her for so long so cruelly.
But she had lived through the battlefield. She had clawed her way through every kind of hardship and adversity in that brutal environment. There were times when she had to make judgments so cold they bordered on heartless.
That was the kind of woman Park Chiyou was—someone who never let personal feelings cloud her decisions.
‘It is a shame to lose the head butler, but it couldn’t be helped.’
He had tried to take her son’s life not once, but twice. No matter how close they had once been, that single fact made it impossible for her, as a mother, to ever forgive him.
Well… she had been the one who treated him harshly all this time. If she suddenly started acting like a caring mother now, anyone watching would only see it as hypocrisy.
Still, Jinwoo had changed a great deal since then. He was sincerely reflecting on every wrong he had ever committed and working hard to become a better person.
‘As his mother, I want to help my son in his efforts.’
Her son, who had unfortunately been born a boy instead of the daughter she had always wanted. Even so, the desire to give him anything he wished for had, before she knew it, awakened a powerful maternal instinct in Park Chiyou.
“Has Jinwoo woken up yet?”
“Ah, a maid should be heading there shortly.”
“Hehe, never mind. Today, I want to wake him myself.”
“Understood, my lady.”
“I will bring him down personally, so please prepare breakfast in advance.”
“Yes, Mistress.”
With both hands neatly clasped, Park Chiyou walked down the hallway with graceful dignity. The maid watching her elegant figure was momentarily entranced.
Her body was so perfect it was hard to believe she was a married woman. The slim-fit dress she wore, as if proudly displaying her confidence, inspired not thoughts of decadence but pure admiration for her beauty.
Her snow-white skin and face that looked far younger than her actual age would not seem out of place even if someone claimed she was in her mid-twenties.
Click…!
The sound of her high heels echoed through the corridor.
Every servant she passed straightened their posture and greeted her respectfully.
“Good morning, my lady!”
“Yes, good morning to you too.”
It would have been easy to find it tiresome, yet Park Chiyou returned every single greeting. She never forgot to make eye contact with each of them.
This was precisely why so many servants stayed in her service for so long.
In this world, magical girls were essentially treated as nobility.
Especially for those who had survived the battlefield, retired, and then given birth to and raised children as mages—it was no exaggeration to call that a tremendous achievement.
That was why most magical girls—or mages, for that matter—tended to have incredibly strong personalities. Of course there were exceptions, but fundamentally they all possessed powerful pride.
“……”
Park Chiyou now stood in front of Jinwoo’s bedroom door.
Thinking of her two daughters, whom she hadn’t seen in a long while after they moved into the academy dorms, it had been quite some time since she last stood before her child’s door to wake them.
‘Why does this make me feel so excited?’
A small smile played on her lips as Park Chiyou carefully opened the door and stepped inside.
Then—
WHOOOOOOSH!!!!
“Eek!!”
A wave of scorching heat slammed into her through the open doorway.
* * *
“Huuuup…!!! Hooooooo!!”
The rough, beast-like breathing echoed throughout the room.
“Huuup! Urrrrgh!!!”
His bulging, vein-covered muscles, overflowing with raw masculinity, twitched and flexed as if they each had a will of their own.
“Urrrrgh! Delicious! Huuup…!!”
Push-ups 1000/100
Sit-ups 1000/100
Squats 1000/100
Running 100km/10km
The time limit was roughly one month.
In that short period, Jinwoo had trained his body like a madman.
Not only did he complete everything listed in the daily quests, he took the initiative to procure additional training equipment and hammered even greater strength into his body.
This world was one where angels and magical girls fought each other. With the fairies now joining the fray, a human-fairy alliance was currently resisting the angels’ invasion.
Above all else, with a body as frail as a parasitic pretty boy, he wouldn’t be able to do anything at all.
That was why he trained without rest, like a man possessed. Jinwoo figured the quest must have been designed with exactly that intention in mind.
However, no matter how diligently one trained for a month, it was biologically impossible for a human body to become this massively muscular in such a short time.
But Jinwoo had obtained the Level Boost skill not long ago.
Level Up!
LV. 23
Name: Park Jinwoo
Gender: Male (M)
Strength: 12
Agility: 8
Stamina: 11
Mana: 0
Charisma: 7
It was truly astonishing growth.
The Level Boost skill didn’t just grant him more experience toward leveling up—it even provided additional stats with every level gained.
‘To think that every level-up randomly grants 0.1 points in a random stat…’
Compared to the hundreds or thousands of points common in games, it might seem pathetic. But in this world, stats were extremely stingy.
0.1 stat per level-up.
To raise a single stat point, one had to level up ten times—an insane difficulty.
That was exactly why the human limit was said to be a maximum of 15 in any stat.
Stats that normal people might spend their entire lives trying and failing to obtain, Jinwoo had reached in just one month thanks to Level Boost.
At that moment, he heard his mother’s voice.
When Jinwoo answered, the closed door opened.
For a brief second, Park Chiyou seemed to frown at the thick masculine scent, but she soon stepped inside naturally.
LV. 100
Name: Park Chiyou
Gender: Female (F)
Strength: 87
Agility: 90
Stamina: 75
Mana: 100
Charisma: 44
Once someone awakened, they completely surpassed the limits of ordinary humanity.
This was practically human inflation.
‘Wait, more importantly—her Charisma went up too?’
It was surprising.
Even though she had essentially retired, she was still growing.
Of course, the stats shown in the status window could increase through daily life as well.
Besides leveling up, one could raise stats through exercise and training, but it required tremendous effort.
Among all stats, Charisma was by far the hardest and most demanding to raise.
“Huu…”
Jinwoo was sweating as if Niagara Falls were pouring from his entire body.
He set down the absurdly massive custom-made dumbbell that he had ordered through the maids and politely bowed his head.
“Good morning!!! Mother!!!”
Flex! Flex!!
“Y-yes, Jinwoo dear. You’re certainly full of energy first thing in the morning.”
Park Chiyou thought to herself.
Just a month ago, her son had looked like a pretty idol boy…
Now he had transformed into something resembling a bodybuilder, and even his facial structure had changed in a subtle but unmistakable way.
How should she put it?
Perhaps the excessive male hormones secreted in such a short period had made his face look far more rugged and mature than his actual age.
Of course, from her perspective, she had never liked the old slender, almost feminine version of him. A man shouldn’t look like a delicate girl.
Even so, she wondered if he really needed to change this extremely.
“Um… you should exercise in moderation. If you use up all your energy first thing in the morning, you won’t have any strength left to eat.”
“Hehe, do not worry, Mother!!”
Flex! Flex!
“The moment I exercise in moderation… is exactly when I have no strength at all!!!!”
Park Chiyou let out a deep sigh and rubbed her face.
Well, this wasn’t the first or second time this had happened, so she simply crossed her arms and spoke.
“By the way, please ventilate the room. The smell of sweat is overwhelming in here.”
“Ah, of course. I’m sorry, Mother!!”
He walked over with heavy steps and roughly threw open the windows.
Cool breeze rushed in from outside, and the sticky, pungent smell of sweat quickly flowed out through the open window.
It was already June…
It seemed the hot weather was finally arriving.
“You have to go back to school tomorrow. Looking at your physique, we’ll need to get you a new uniform.”
“Thank you, Mother!!!!”
“Well, that’s fine. Let’s eat first. Breakfast should be ready by now.”
“Yes!”
When he tried to leave the room still in his workout clothes, Park Chiyou raised her hand to stop him.
“Sh-shower first. You smell.”
“Ah… I’m sorry, Mother. I’ll wash up right away!!”
“I’ll tell the maid to prepare a change of clothes.”
“Yes!!”
Park Chiyou headed to the dining room first. Jinwoo returned to his room to take a shower and stepped into the bathroom.
Thud… thud… thud…
Before long, his exclusive maid Jiyeon arrived at the room carrying a set of fresh clothes. Since Jinwoo had never shown much interest in clothing, Park Chiyou had taken special care to prepare them for him.
“Excuse me.”
Jiyeon opened the door and entered.
WHOOOOSH!!
“Th-this is…!!!”
The moment she opened the door, an intense smell of sweat assaulted her.
Although the windows were open, not enough time had passed for the room to be fully ventilated.
“Ah… aah…”
Thump… thump…
Jiyeon’s heart began to pound violently.
For the past month, while recovering, he hadn’t gone to school and had instead trained like a man possessed.
Seeing him sweat while working out was already impressive, but the thick, heavy scent that lingered afterward was far too stimulating for her.
‘No matter how many times I smell it… I never get used to it.’
Thump… thump!
Her heart hammered in her chest.
She forgot all about putting down the clothes and simply stood there, dazed, inhaling the scent left in the room—
“There are no clothes…!”
Step!
“Hiiiiik!”
Jinwoo emerged from the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his lower half.
His sculpted, muscular body—almost completely naked except for that towel—was laid bare before her eyes.
‘M-m-m-muscles!!!!’
Inside her small pupils, the true wild world of masculinity unfolded.
The overwhelming visual information of an entire ecosystem of muscles was more than enough to throw her mind into chaos.
“Hawa wa…”
“Hm?! J-Jiyeon!”
Jiyeon’s legs suddenly gave out and she began to collapse. Jinwoo hurriedly rushed over and caught her lightly with his thick right arm.
Grab!
“You don’t look well at all! Are you okay?”
“Ah… aaaaaah!!”
Although his face had aged beyond his years due to all the training,
his original features had been incredibly handsome. Even though he now looked somewhat older, his impression was still that of a beautiful young man.
His sharply defined jawline added to his masculinity, and his husky, beast-like voice was enough to turn her eardrums into an erogenous zone.
“I-I brought… your clothes, Young Master…”
Thump thump…
She instinctively realized it.
She had to submit to this overwhelming male as a female.
Even she herself hadn’t known this.
She never imagined that she…
had a thing for muscular macho men…
“Hehe, thank you. You always work so hard for me.”
In that moment, his dazzling smile revealed perfect white teeth.
Catching the sunlight streaming through the window, his teeth seemed to shine even brighter.
‘I’m sorry, Mistress. For a second… I imagined married life with the Young Master.’
Hwang Jiyeon, a lifelong solo.
Having become a maid at a young age and never experienced a man before, this was the first time spring had ever come to her.
Time passed.
On the day his body had fully recovered and he was returning to school for the first time—
Quest: The Path to Becoming a Magical Girl
Today is D-Day—the day you can finally become a magical girl. Therefore, overcome the crisis you will face today.
A new opportunity appeared before his eyes.
