Great Hero Min-gyu
Great Hero Min-gyu
My dreams were always nightmares.
And that day was no different.
The statue of Goddess Lilia suddenly transformed into a female giant, came running at me, and snatched me up.
"No!! I normalized the temple for you!! I discovered the Elixir Spring for you!! I healed the sick for you!! I saved the empire for you!! I did everything!!"
Even as I screamed, Goddess Lilia answered with a thoroughly wicked smile.
"And what's this bullshit about faking sainthood? You bastard."
"Aaaagh!!"
I was lifted by the goddess and dropped into hell.
It was a recurring nightmare, so it wasn't even surprising anymore.
But that day, the dream's content was a little different.
While I was falling into hell like that.
A giant of tremendous size suddenly appeared and saved me.
The giant's appearance was really...
Brutish.
That figure.
Giga Chad?!
It was Giga Chad!!
"Seong-ppippi. What are you so afraid of?"
At Giga Chad's words, my sorrow exploded and I started crying.
"I'm so scared of going to hell! Giga Chad! I don't want to live like this! This isn't the otherworld life I imagined!!"
Giga Chad laughed at that.
"Then what kind of otherworld life do you like? Honestly spill it all out. Seong-ppippi."
The otherworld life I wished for.
"I wanted to become a Harem King. When you come to another world, it's all about the harem, isn't it!!"
"I agree. When you come to another world, it's a harem. It's the most manly course of action."
"I wanted to be really damn cool at fighting too, and... yeah! That's who I wanted to be!! Not someone living in fear of falling into hell!!"
I wanted to be like that one black-haired foreigner who also fell into another world like me.
I wanted to live happily with my wives while firing off a bang-bang Demonic Divine Art...
That's how I want to live!!
As I said that while sobbing, Giga Chad suddenly clicked his tongue.
"How stupid. Seong-ppippi. Then just live like that."
When Giga Chad gestured, three women rose up from the ground.
Iomene and Almene.
And Erpa.
Ah.
Erpa.
Every time I saw those four arms, it seriously turned me on.
There were so many different kinds of play you could do with those four arms.
And I looked at Iomene and Almene!
Those beautiful girls, and there were two of them!!
They were twins!!
I wanted to do it.
The thing I hated most in this world was a dense bastard.
Even when the heroine confessed to him, the guy who went 'Huh? What do you mean?'—that kind of deaf, dense-bastard development was what I hated most in the world!!
I fucking hated it the most!!
I wasn't a dense bastard.
I wanted to do it.
I wanted to do it with those three!!
"Then just do it! Seong-ppippi!"
"You don't understand. Giga Chad."
I shook my head, sobbing.
"The goddess said she'd throw me into hell. She said I'd die at the hands of those who love me. My ending is already set as a bad ending, so how... how can I accept their hearts? Should I suggest we all be unhappy together?"
When I muttered gloomily, Giga Chad's expression suddenly turned ferocious.
"You fucking stupid!! Hey, Seong-ppippi!!"
Giga Chad pulled me close to his face.
His voice changed.
It was exactly the voice I'd heard when the God of the Future, Lupiel, gave me the prophecy.
With the voice of a god, Giga Chad spoke to me.
[Go and make those women yours!! I'm telling you to seize them with your own hands!! Can't you see they're blatantly signaling that they like you!! If you just go for it, they'll become yours right away!!]
"That's not the problem!! I'm telling you, they'll become unhappy!!"
Giga Chad yelled even more roughly at those words.
[You fucking moronic Seong-ppippi!! She's the Goddess of Grace!! She's the goddess who wrote in the scriptures to heal people for free and take care of the weak!! You, who have lived according to her will more than anyone else—would the goddess throw you into hell? Does that make sense!!]
"B-But!..."
[Don't you think you might have misinterpreted the prophecy?! You cowardly scaredy-cat, maybe you just interpreted it in the worst possible way because you're a chicken!!]
That would have been the best.
But...
"But what if it's real! What if my interpretation is correct!!"
[Have you ever seen such a frustrating bastard!! Just ask the goddess then!! Ask her whether your interpretation is right or wrong!! Before you think about running away, ask first!! Seong-ppippi!!]
Ask the goddess directly.
It wasn't that I hadn't thought of that.
But there was a reason I hadn't done it until then.
My fist clenched tight.
"What if I ask the goddess and she officially confirms that my interpretation is correct? Giga Chad? Then I... I don't think I could go on. That's too terrifying."
To my question, Giga Chad gave a truly Giga Chad-like answer.
[Even if your interpretation is right! You should be thinking about overcoming it with your effort and grit, not just collapsing and whining like a pussy!! If you want a Harem King, then you have to put in the effort worthy of it! Seong-ppippi!!]
At those words, I let out a short laugh.
Yeah.
Giga Chad was right.
But effort.
It wasn't just anything—it was a divine being that was trying to screw me over. Could I overcome that with my effort?
No matter how much I thought about it...
It seemed impossible.
Effort and grit were for opponents where you could actually compete, not against divine beings.
Giga Chad.
"Thanks for the comfort. Giga Chad. But still... I think I was right not to accept their hearts. I really can't..."
[You frustrating son of a bitch. I knew you'd say that. You cowardly, overly kind, foolish, and stupid little sheep bastard. I prepared something in advance for you!!]
"No... what are you doing! Giga Chad!"
Giga Chad lifted me up.
He smiled at me.
[Don't worry. Seong-ppippi. It's all for your own good.]
"What are you going to do! Why are you doing this!!"
[You have a lot of work to do from now on. So now is the time to rest. You must ease your mind and be happy. Only then can you endure the even heavier trials to come.]
Giga Chad set me down in front of the three women.
Giga Chad's voice changed.
[So do as I say. Saint Amael.]
I felt it instinctively.
The one who had placed me before the women now was not Giga Chad.
From the voice to the atmosphere.
It was someone else.
It was giving me the creeps.
Who are you to appear in my dream?
"Wh-Who are you..."
[Put it in. Just put it in first and then think. For a coward like you to get your hands on a woman, that's the only answer.]
Giga Chad finished those words and disappeared.
And before I knew it, the three now-naked women clung to my body.
What the hell!
What was with this sudden rapid development!!
The twin imperial princesses were on both my arms.
And Erpa was on top of my body, preparing to dock.
Wow.
This was too vivid for a dream...
Wait a minute.
Was this really a dream?
Was this really a dream?
The sensations were way too realistic?
No.
This wasn't a dream!!
This was reality!!
[Skill Body Modification is activated!]
The alcoholic haze flew away.
The consciousness that had been wandering half-asleep between dream and reality instantly returned to the physical body.
And....
"W-Wait a minute! What the hell are you doing!!"
I shot up from the spot like a bullet.
The three women, their bodies precariously covered by the blanket, were watching my reaction.
I had my face buried in my hands and was letting out a dumbfounded laugh.
Wow.
Getting me drunk and sleeping with me?
A situation I'd only ever seen on a hentai site had become reality.
I couldn't really tell if I should be happy about that.
Or if I should be angry.
After carefully choosing and choosing my words internally.
I threw a question at the three women.
"I'll ask first. Why did you do that? What the hell?"
At my words, Erpa cautiously eyed my reaction and opened her mouth.
"Are... you angry?"
I wasn't sure.
First, I needed to hear an explanation.
"I want to hear an explanation first. Why did you do it?"
At my question, Iomene and Almene cautiously began their explanation.
The dream they had.
What they had discussed with Erpa.
And even the plan to get me drunk and do it while I was asleep.
After all the explanations were over, I was engulfed in intense deliberation.
Three women.
And not just any women, but the women I'd always had a crush on had already agreed to form a harem centered around me.
What kind of absurd situation was this?
As Giga Chad had shouted, I literally just needed to put it in.
On top of that, they'd even committed the crime of trying to have me while I was asleep, so I held the relational superiority.
It was just perfect.
It was perfect, but...
[You shall die at the hands of those who love you.]
What if they became unhappy?
That was my first worry.
"In the end, it's an ugly excuse... but we thought the saint would never accept us. Knowing your personality, you'd flat-out refuse, saying there's a high chance we'd get hurt."
Yeah. That was the right answer.
That was why I was hesitating even then.
"How can we open your heart? I thought about it, but this seemed like the only way."
"We thought that if we didn't do this, you, the saint, would eventually collapse under the weight of your heavy mission alone."
That was also accurate.
Honestly, I'd wondered how much longer I could hold out like this.
Someday, like in the princesses' dream, my mentality might have shattered and I might have collapsed.
Yeah.
Right.
That was all correct, but even so, getting me drunk and raping me wasn't okay, you guys.
"You know all of that is just a selfish excuse for your own sake, right? No matter what, you tried to get a person drunk and do it while he was asleep? That's too much. It's a crime."
At my words, the three bowed their heads.
They were fidgeting without a single word.
I could see a fork in the road laid out before my eyes.
If this were really an erotic game, two choices would have appeared.
Option 1.
"You disgusting, filthy rapist bitches! I saved you, and you try to rape me?! Get out of my sight right now! I don't want to see you ever again!!"
One line of that dialogue, and the story would immediately shift into regret, angst, and obsession.
Option 2, well.
Accept their feelings and become a Harem King.
A brief moment.
Many worries passed through my head.
More than my own happiness, would they be all right?
Those kinds of worries filled me.
I silently looked up at the goddess statue.
The goddess statue hanging on one side of the room, as always.
Was smiling benevolently.
The Goddess of Grace, Lilia.
The one I had only feared until then without ever trying to have a proper conversation.
Whether Giga Chad's words were right.
Or whether my words were right.
Nobody knew that.
I clenched my fist tight.
Yeah.
If I kept living in anxiety like that, I might collapse like in the princess's dream.
I would try it as Giga Chad had advised.
I would have a frank discussion with the goddess, and if she said my prophecy interpretation was correct...
I didn't know if it would be possible with grit and effort.
But I would try my best to change the prophesied future.
Having made up my mind, I turned my gaze back to the three women.
"You guys are truly, horrifyingly selfish."
At my words, the three women's faces fell apart.
"I'm sorry."
They apologized to me, sobbing.
With their fists clenched tight, they started to cry.
"I won't ask for forgiveness. I just... I just didn't want the saint to collapse."
"In the hope that the scene I saw in my dream wouldn't become reality..."
"I'm sorry. Saint."
It was a very standard beginning to an angst-obsession story.
But still, for me.
Rather than angst-obsession, I'd go with Great Hero Min-gyu.
When you came to another world, it was definitely!!
The harem route!!
"But do you know what? I'm also incredibly selfish."
At my words, the three women looked up with surprised faces.
I scratched the back of my head with a sigh.
"You'll regret it. If you love me, you might regret it."
The goddess might officially declare, 'Yep, your prophecy interpretation is correct. Scheduled for burning at the stake by my followers and then hell.'
Then I would have no choice but to run away as originally planned.
Then I'd end up being a guy who started a relationship and then ran away without any sense of responsibility.
"We don't care."
"It could be very hard."
In the worst-case scenario, the entire world would ostracize and despise me, trying to kill me.
It'd be fine if they betrayed me and went to find their own way, but if they chose to stay by my side till the end, they would become very unhappy.
Because they'd have to throw away everything they'd ever enjoyed up until then.
"We only need you."
"People might try to kill me."
I smiled bitterly.
I hoped this ending wouldn't come true either.
I sincerely hoped it wouldn't.
"The whole world might despise me. Because of that, you who are by my side might get hurt. Everything you've enjoyed until now. You might have to put it all down. In the worst case... you might die."
They had acted selfishly.
They tried to rape me without even asking for my consent.
But I was also selfish.
Even though I clearly knew there was a high chance they'd become unhappy.
I wanted to be happy with them.
"I like you guys too. But I'm scared you'll get hurt. Yet at the same time, I want you to love me."
I wished they would embrace me, comfort me, and build happy memories with me.
"Selfish, right? That's the kind of guy I am. The man you say you like."
Now it was my turn to watch their reactions.
"Do you still want to love me?"
The answer to my words didn't come verbally.
The three women threw themselves at me.
They hugged me tightly.
"No matter what happens from now on. I will never regret loving you."
"I love you."
"If there's anything hard or painful, tell us. Saint. We'll do our best to help. We will never let you meet an unhappy ending. Absolutely never."
My hands trembled.
Until the very last moment.
I had to hesitate for a long time.
But soon, my resolve was set.
Giga Chad.
Thank you.
I would do as you advised.
On top of that, with the board set up this perfectly, if I pussied out here, then fuck.
I'd have to cut my dick off.
I embraced the three women in return.
"I love you."
At my words, they pressed themselves even more tightly against my body.
My son asked me, [Dad!! It's your favorite situation, naked big-boob nipple-pressing time!! This is the right timing for me to get an erection, right? Huh?]
So I gave my son the OK command.
Yeah.
I wouldn't hesitate any longer.
I was going to have it out with the goddess.
I was going to be happy with the women I loved.
How long did I have to live anxious and afraid?
The Goddess of Grace statue hanging on the wall gave me the same benevolent smile it always wore.
I smiled back at her.
Faith?
I would have it.
Good deeds?
I would do them.
So please, let me be happy.
I was confident I could work even harder from then on, so please...
What I wished for was really simple.
Please let me live happily with the women I loved.
That day, for the first time, I got to spend time truly worthy of my skills.
Sense Sharing and four arms.
It was fucking amazing.
