It couldn't be a coincidence.
Yet, a part of me wondered if it might be. After all, the world sometimes defies common sense. Take, for instance, the moment I awakened the Pleasure World App's abilities.
Stay calm. Just verify it again.
Jura rose from her seat, her face flushed, and smoothed her skirt.
"Ugh... I didn't expect to trip like that."
"Jura, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Argen's expression remained calm. Standing in front of Jura, he hadn't seen beneath her skirt.
As Jura began walking again, I stared intently at her, thinking:
Trip, trip, trip!
Jura stumbled and fell forward, her skirt riding up to reveal her shapely hips.
"Jura?!"
"Ugh... I suddenly felt dizzy..."
Jura quickly pulled her skirt down with both hands and stood up.
"Jura, if you're not feeling well, why don't you rest a bit longer before we go?"
"No, I'm fine. I'm better now," Jura said firmly.
Thanks to her, I was now certain that my imagination was manifesting into reality.
...Not yet. This could still be a coincidence. I'll believe it if a pigeon suddenly appears in the sky.
A snow-white pigeon flapped its wings and appeared in the sky. It circled overhead before disappearing beyond the horizon.
A pigeon suddenly appeared on the prairie? And at the exact moment I imagined it?
Now I had no choice but to admit it.
My imagination is influencing this world.
Why?
I didn't know the reason, and frankly, I wasn't particularly interested in finding out. That wasn't what mattered right now.
I glanced at Priscilla. She was tilting her head, studying Jura with a puzzled expression.
"Lady Priscilla, is something wrong?"
"...Nothing."
Priscilla began walking, heading in the opposite direction from Argen and Jura. I followed her, imagining:
Fall! Fall awkwardly and spread your legs wide! Show me your pussy!
I imagined this for three minutes, but Priscilla didn't fall.
"..."
I held out my palm.
"Water."
Water pooled in the center of my palm. My imagination was becoming reality, except for Priscilla.
Could it be because Priscilla entered this world from the outside, just like me?
Perhaps Priscilla simply hadn't realized it yet, but she might also possess the ability to materialize her imagination, just like me.
Damn it. I thought I could finally fuck Priscilla...
Disappointed, I trudged after her.
Wait a minute. If I imagine a door leading out of this world, I wouldn't need to wander around searching for an exit, would I?
I imagined a door. A steel door materialized beside me. When I tugged it open, a pitch-black void yawned beyond. Instinctively, I knew: stepping through this door into that darkness would lead me back to the outside world.
I closed the door again.
It would be a waste to leave right now. Since I've come to a world that conforms to my imagination, I should enjoy it a little, right?
Besides, this was a chance to get closer to Priscilla. Would I ever have another opportunity to befriend such an arrogant and terrifying being as a Dragon?
Probably not. I should seize this special opportunity.
The door vanished. I hurried toward Priscilla.
Priscilla doesn't realize I created the door behind her. She should have noticed immediately... It seems that in this world, just as Mana is unusable, a Dragon's Qi sense is also sealed.
Here, Priscilla wasn't a great being. Apart from her transcendent physical abilities, she was no different from an ordinary human.
What should I do?
I started racking my brain.
The scenery shifted.
From a meadow to a lakeside.
In the vast, beautiful lake, an Elf was bathing naked. With her blue hair and tall, slender figure, she resembled Priscilla. Crucially, like Priscilla, this Elf's pussy was hairless.
"...Is that Lady Priscilla?"
"Yes. I used to Polymorph into an Elf."
"Was there a specific reason for that?"
"At the time, I was curious about Spirits and researching them. An Elf's body was simply more suitable than a human's."
I glanced sideways, comparing the figures of Elf Priscilla and human Priscilla. The most noticeable differences were her elongated ears and bust size. The Elf had D-cups, while the human Priscilla had F-cups. Since their faces were nearly identical, I preferred the larger bust size.
"You're human now..."
"It's much easier to move around as a human than as an Elf, in many ways."
I understood. This world was centered around humans. If Priscilla were to operate as an Elf, she would inevitably face various inconveniences.
Leaving the lakeside, we entered the forest. I called out to Priscilla, who was walking ahead of me.
"Lady Priscilla! Just a moment! Could you wait ten minutes for me?!"
"What is it?"
"I urgently need to use the restroom!"
"..."
Priscilla paused, lost in thought. She was likely considering me.
"Very well. Exactly ten minutes."
Fortunately, she seemed to have decided it was better to keep me around.
"Thank you!"
I immediately turned and disappeared from her sight.
If this world works as I imagine, Space Displacement should be possible...!
I imagined myself using Space Displacement to reach the lakeside. Instantly, my vision shifted, and I was standing by the water's edge.
I rushed toward Priscilla, the Elf, who was bathing in the lake. As I drew closer, she noticed me.
Her eyes fell on my rigid erection, and she spoke coldly, "You're a man with impure intentions. Die."
Over thirty ice spears materialized around her, hurtling toward me.
"Shatter," I murmured.
The ice spears shattered into fragments, splashing into the lake.
"What?!"
"Wait."
She hesitated, startled.
"Your power is no different from that of an ordinary human woman. And you can't use magic either."
I stopped within arm's reach, my rigid erection plain to see.
"Who are you...!"
"Someone who wants you. But only if you want me too. Refuse me and I'll leave."
Her eyes flicked from my face to my cock, then back again. After a brief silence, she placed a hand on my shoulder and gave a slow, deliberate nod.
"...Then be gentle."
Only after hearing her answer did I lift her and slowly press my cock into her pussy.
"Aaaah!"
Blood flowed from her crotch. I tilted my head in confusion.
A dragon who's lived for ages, yet she's a virgin? Wait, did I even enter her pussy? It feels like I'm just thrusting into empty air...
Sensing something was off, I looked at her body again. It was gradually becoming transparent and fading away.
"No! Don't disappear!"
I desperately focused on visualizing her body, and it became clear again. But the sensation of her pussy remained unchanged.
If she were a virgin, she should be tighter... Damn it.
I clicked my tongue. As I imagined it, the tightness of her pussy increased. In other words, it was tightening exactly as I imagined it.
The tension in my cock relaxed. My arousal faded. This was no different from masturbation.
...Still, since I've come this far, I might as well finish.
"Aaaah! Slow down a little, you bastard! Why can't I use magic?!"
Yuria, swallowed by the Grimoire, lost consciousness instantly. Her physical condition was at its worst, ravaged by internal injuries. Had she been in her normal state, she would have used Space Displacement to evade the Grimoire's grasp.
"..."
When Yuria regained consciousness, she slowly opened her eyes.
She saw nothing. The place was utterly dark, devoid of even a single ray of light.
Calmly, Yuria began assessing her condition.
Her arms and legs were immobile. Even tilting her head was impossible. All she could do was blink her eyes. To be precise, she felt nothing at all.
She couldn't tell if she was lying down or standing.
Without sensation, she felt no pain from her internal injuries.
She couldn't even hear her own heartbeat. Her eyes were open, but she doubted if her body was even truly there. Could it be that I'm actually bodiless right now?
Am I dead...?
That was the only explanation she could come up with.
If this was death, it was the worst kind. To be bodiless yet retain full consciousness... It might not be a problem now, but as time passed, she was certain she would descend into madness.
No. It's too soon to accept death.
Yuria began analyzing the situation.
She had been swallowed by a Grimoire. This was the very Grimoire Yujin had sought. He had mentioned its special abilities. Combining Yujin's expression, tone, and overall demeanor at the time, she deduced that the Grimoire must possess beneficial effects.
"...A Forbidden Grimoire."
If it grants beneficial effects, why is it forbidden and kept under special guard underground? There are three main reasons:
First, the Grimoire itself is cursed. Second, the knowledge contained within is inherently evil. Third, the creator of the Grimoire was a notorious criminal.
In this case, the third reason is most likely.
However, the exact effects of the Grimoire remain unknown.
Yuria closed her eyes.
This wasn't surrender. She couldn't afford to give up.
She had duties to fulfill: serving her Master and completing her own personal revenge a vengeance she couldn't even share with him.
Yuria began to focus inward.
The sensation of opening and closing her eyes meant her physical body still existed.
First, Yuria focused on the area closest to her eyes. The eyes are directly connected to the brain via the optic nerve, which transmits visual information gathered by the retina to the brain.
The brain, connected by the optic nerve, can be broadly divided into three parts:
Cerebrum Cerebellum * Brainstem
Yuria possessed a relatively detailed understanding of the human body, having absorbed various modern knowledge through Yujin. The encyclopedia he had given her also included information on human anatomy.
Strangely, Yuria could sense the presence of her own brain.
It was a remarkably alien sensation, likely due to the unique nature of this space.
Spinal Cord.
After becoming aware of her brain, Yuria focused on her spinal cord. As she recognized the spinal cord, her body's entire nervous system naturally came into focus.
"Visceral System."
Yuria felt her heart pounding vigorously, as it always did.
Other internal organs were also detected. She found it slightly odd that the organs showed no signs of injury, since internal injuries typically damage not only the Qi and Blood but also the organs themselves. In severe cases, internal bleeding from the organs is a serious concern.
"Skeletal System."
The human body is said to have 206 bones. Without them, humans wouldn't even be able to stand.
"Circulatory System."
This was the area Yuria worried about most, as it includes the Qi and Blood. Damage to the Qi and Blood meant that part of the circulatory system had been compromised.
Contrary to her worries, the circulatory system was recognized as normal.
Muscular system.
Bones and muscles were her area of expertise.
When moving her body and training, bones and muscles were paramount. The difference between moving with knowledge of these systems and moving without it was vast.
Moreover, when teaching the maids at the mansion, muscle tears and bone fractures were commonplace, making knowledge of these systems essential for treatment.
Having reached this point, her bodily sensations became distinctly clearer than before. Yet she still felt a sense of incompleteness.
Sensation...
-Impressive.
The old man's voice echoed in her mind.
Yuria opened her eyes, simultaneously searching for the source of the voice and becoming aware of her physical body. As time passed, her senses gradually awakened.
I am Palek Proxin.
The moment Yuria heard the name, a figure flashed through her mind:
Palek Proxin, the black mage.
In the world, he was known as a notorious criminal specializing in Human Modification Magic.
He had lived approximately 500 years ago, before being captured and executed by the knights of the Cobalt Kingdom.
I don't know who you are. I don't care if you're good or evil.
Yuria quickly realized he was merely a sentient entity bound to the Grimoire. There was no other possibility.
-All I ask of you is one thing.
Flick.
The tip of her finger twitched.
-That you remember me.
Moving her entire hand was still too difficult.
-That you prove I, Palek Proxin, was not wrong!
Her toes wiggled.
She could even feel the tickle of hair brushing against her forehead.
-Of course, I wouldn't simply ask you to remember me. I'm not a shameless Magician.
Yuria parted her lips, but regrettably, no sound came out.
-Have you ever considered the difference between humans and Dragons?
