This world was so bizarre that it wouldn't be strange if it originated from some web novel or game somewhere. I thought that as I gazed at the building right in front of me.
The existence of a place called Dungeon City felt like something straight out of a light novel I'd read somewhere, and the Academy I'd only just learned about didn't help matters.
'No way this world actually has an original story, right?'
I doubted it. If it did, I would've at least seen some shitty god handing out crap items when I first got dropped here.
No regretful angel or goddess yelling "Daga!" while slamming down a Heavenly Spirit Strike on my crown.
I just got into a car accident, blacked out, and when I opened my eyes, there I was, standing smack in the middle of Dungeon City.
My ability, which I'd roughly named 'Regeneration,' came to light when I was dazedly standing in the middle of the road and some passerby shoved my shoulder, sending me tumbling to the ground.
There just happened to be a sharp rock where I fell, slicing open my palm. That's how I discovered it.
'The pain I felt then convinced me it wasn't a dream, but watching the wound heal right before my eyes made me think it was a dream after all.'
I even wondered if I was just walking down the street. No, fuck, I shouldn't even joke about uttering the word "light" like that. Damn you, you demon!
Anyway, back to the point—this world had an Academy dedicated to training talent to hunt monsters in dungeons and fields.
From what I'd gathered, dungeons started appearing ages ago when some guy called the Demon God got sealed. Back then, it was a freakish phenomenon on the continent.
There were monsters, sure, but no dungeons.
So, people worried about the future and founded the Academy to nurture talent with all their might.
Honestly, I couldn't care less about all that trivia.
'Isekai! And... an Academy! I can't resist this.'
I could almost hear a voice in my head saying, "You hold back on everything else just fine, so why can't you with this?" But this was romance I truly couldn't pass up.
Plus, I was 25 in this world, and the Academy's age limit was exactly up to 25. I applied right as the door was closing.
I had some experience dungeon crawling, and fearing Ria might track me down and rip my precious parts to shreds, I'd been training harder than before. The entrance exam should be a breeze.
Especially those two years with Lili—mostly shut-in life, barely leaving the house, but I trained a ton.
'...It's been about three years, so it should be safe now, right?'
Thinking about how fast Ria got stronger made me proud yet wistful.
Still, after three years, she'd probably shoved me to a corner of her mind and gone off to live her own life.
Come to think of it, I left without knowing how to undo the Slave Seal. They must've figured it out and destroyed it themselves.
Sometimes those thoughts crept in.
Especially since things were cozy with Lili, I wondered if I'd jumped to conclusions assuming Ria or Mimi wanted me dead.
But I shook my head, denying it.
Even if they didn't hate me, there was plenty of chance they'd send me off on a nice boat.
I'd been with Ria for two years.
And during those two years, her luscious body was so damn good I pounded her relentlessly, anytime, anywhere.
What Ria thought of me? Jake's case was a reminder not to let my guard down.
Mimi and I were together only a year. And considering her actions back then tied to that ghost story, she might've fucked me over too.
'In that sense, Lili...'
She cooks well, cleans well, and her behavior is sharp as a tack.
I just keep thinking I scored big with Lili. She gets clumsy sometimes, but that's cute too.
'Pink hair aside, her face is fucking gorgeous, tits too big for one hand, ass perfectly shaped.'
For a top-tier beauty like that to go unsold just because of pink hair—what the hell was wrong with this fantasy world's tastes?
Thank you, isekai!
I'll cherish and love her forever. Hell yeah!
Speaking of faces, Ria suddenly popped into my head.
Was I cursed? Thinking of Ria's horribly twisted face made my heart ache. With looks like that, people would avoid her, but she'd probably cover up and get by...
Still, Ria, you were fucking delicious!
Fuck, I actually want to taste you again...
Her pussy clenched just right, like it remembered my cock's shape. Perfection.
"Master."
"Yeah?"
I was lost in thought staring at the Academy when a familiar voice called from behind. I turned to see Lili standing primly in her maid outfit.
Even in a safe neighborhood like this, why'd she come all the way here alone? So risky.
Doesn't she know how pretty she is?
"I told you not to wander alone. It's dangerous."
"Hehe. What's there to be dangerous about, Master?"
"You're so pretty, if something happened, I'd cry."
A beautiful pink-haired girl walking alone and getting assaulted is just 'common sense.' Well, the path from our house to the Academy is all main roads, so probably not.
I'll protect my pinkie!
...Probably?
"You're making that weird face again, Master."
"Just... you're mine, so be careful."
"Oh my."
I'm not weak, but not a powerhouse either. To emphasize she was mine, I wrapped my arm around Lili's waist, gently pulling her into my embrace.
Savoring the feel of her ample breasts against my side, I gazed back at the Academy, anticipating tomorrow's entrance exam.
Ah, wanna tease Lili's nipples, twirl them around.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
My name is Kim Min-su.
A healthy Korean guy who got possessed into the protagonist of 'Adapting to the Isekai Academy,' a game pretty popular among niche crowds.
Decent difficulty except for the final boss and a few others—I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Never dreamed I'd get isekai'd into it. As the protagonist, no less.
Luckily, possession happened before the tutorial entrance exam, so I snagged some hidden pieces before the main story kicked off.
Things started off not bad.
Until I heard that news.
"Hey, you hear? That 'Sword Saint' and 'Beast' clashed?"
"For real?"
"Yeah. Sword Saint lured the charging Beast deep into the Great Plains and vanished."
In 'Adapting to the Isekai Academy,' incidents inside the Academy were surprisingly rare.
The Academy felt more like a stat-training hub, a respite. Major events happened outside.
Most bosses and hunting grounds were external.
The game's easy mode had few hellish sections.
Some skippable entirely without affecting the ending.
Among skippable bosses, three were insanely tough.
'Blood Sword Saint, Beast, and Vampire Queen Liliss.'
No names in lore except Liliss, but hellish in difficulty and canon strength.
Conditional spawns not appearing without specific triggers—even till endgame—so I'd shelved thoughts of them.
'Can't recruit as allies anyway, so best not to poke. But...'
The Blood Sword Saint should've been powering up in a desert colosseum, seething with human hatred by now.
Beast, quietly building strength in the east for a massacre—her being nearby was shocking intel.
Distinct appearances, no mistaking them.
'Damn. Did my possession screw the story?'
What'd I even do? Tutorial hasn't started, and plot's derailed already.
Dark thoughts, but digging deeper, situation wasn't that bad.
'Living among humans?'
Not buddy-buddy, but not massacring on sight? Astonishing.
Easter egg bosses for hardcore players.
'Maybe...'
What if I turned humanity's enemies into allies till the finale?
Undeniable powerhouses—could be good news.
But I witnessed a scene that trashed that hope.
"Hup!"
Too late to stifle the gasp.
Lucky she didn't notice I freaked seeing her?
'Fuck, why's Liliss in the middle of the city with the Academy?'
Blood Sword Saint has low stamina from a childhood curse—tough but has standard counters.
Beast skippable via story raid party.
Poor management? Unbeatable.
Liliss? Different.
Ancient being in the frozen northern wastes.
Only appears for whims rarely; otherwise, chills solo in her ice castle. Worst field boss.
Sealed Demon God? Story-powered humanity unites against ultimate boss.
Liliss? Epilogue super-party invades her turf. Grind builds, stack every buff—barely winnable.
Not for nothing users joked she was the true final boss.
'Any record of her playing near the Academy?'
Longtime player, but no memory.
She debuts in 'Mysterious Mummy Corpse Unsolved Murder' quest during external Academy activities.
That was two years ago, probably.
Too late for clues now.
Quest's just flavor to reveal her—nutrient-poor.
Liliss lore always sparse. Side boss, minimal story.
But seeing a gray-haired guy hugging her waist, maid outfit? Guessed her play-acting role.
'Liliss hates being touched, though.'
In-game, accidental touch during her outing? Instant bad end.
Her whims truly random—post-quest, encounter unpredictable.
Made digging info a nightmare.
Game lore: no other pink hair, so no mix-ups.
'Fuck if I know.'
Game's game, reality's reality.
Canon twisted. My conclusion.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
"Hmm~"
"What's up?"
"Nothing. Just felt like someone was staring."
"Probably 'cause my Lili's so pretty."
I brushed it off casually, but hugging her tighter, shielding her with my body—Liliss just felt pleased.
'That human seemed startled seeing me...'
Why?
She started extending her senses toward Min-su's location but stopped.
Yuha was hugging her, slyly groping her breasts.
First time he showed such possessiveness outdoors. Surprised her.
Some staring human? Whatever.
Liliss subtly shifted for easier access, emptying her mind.
'Whatever. I'll check it out. Can always erase him if needed.'
Good mood made her generous.
Ahh. Not there. Hnng♥
