The Game has begun.
My eyes snapped open.
I was no longer in a Chinese village battling an unknown white monster, but lying on a wide bed in a quiet, dark, and luxurious room.
Clear moonlight streamed through the window, and the plushness of the pillows beneath my head and back enveloped me. The atmosphere was so serene, it was hard to believe I had been fighting for my life just moments ago.
I turned my head to the side and saw Yuria sleeping peacefully. Perhaps it was the moonlight, but her cyan hair seemed to shimmer.
My gaze drifted lower, revealing her alabaster-white and flawless nude body. Full breasts, a perfectly toned abdomen, and a flawlessly shaved intimate area, completely devoid of hair.
Seeing Yuria's body, my lust surged instinctively.
The problem with that monster in the real world... well, I don't need to worry about it right now.
Since I'm currently in the Game World, time in the real world has stopped. Even if I spend a hundred years in this world, only a second will pass in reality.
I've escaped to this world.
At that point, I had no way to defeat the monster. I'd already used up my Momentary ability and Complete Recovery during the battle. The monster was growing stronger at an alarming rate, completely overwhelming my physical abilities. I could have escaped with a Space Transfer Scroll, but I couldn't abandon Han Harin and Ryu Jayoung, even if the villagers didn't matter. Ryu Jayoung, in particular, would never flee.
The reason I came to the Hundred-Transformation World...
It wasn't to become stronger.
Even if my character in this world grew stronger, it wouldn't affect my real-world self. Earning Points here to raise my Stats was an option, but it would take far too long.
The solution I had in mind was different.
Character Summon
One of the menus in the Pleasure World App.
Its meaning was obvious.
Let's bring Yuria to the real world.
As an Aura Master and Archmage, Yuria could easily defeat that white monster.
But how could I summon her to the real world? I didn't know. The Pleasure World App provided no further information about the [ Character Summon ] menu.
"It must be her Affinity Level. I'm almost certain. If her Affinity Level reaches 10, something will happen."
Currently, Yuria's Affinity Level is 8.
Since I have an Affinity Level Increase Ticket that can raise it by 1 point while it's below 10, I need to get Yuria's Affinity Level to 9.
"It's been quite a while, but her Affinity Level hasn't increased. There must be a condition. And that condition is..."
Yuria's Revenge.
As the illegitimate daughter of House Helbrit, she desires to personally deliver the House's destruction with her own hands.
"With her current abilities, Yuria could wipe out House Helbrit."
In the original work, Yuria assassinated the entire Helbrit family when she was an Aura Master.
I don't think for a moment that Yuria, who stands beside me now, is any weaker than the Yuria from the original work. After all, she is currently both an Aura Master and an Archmage.
I've been delaying the destruction of House Helbrit to maximize my gains... but I can't afford to wait any longer. I need to eliminate House Helbrit and make Yuria completely mine.
A sliver of anxiety lingers.
What if Yuria's Affinity Level doesn't increase even after her revenge is complete?
And what if, when her revenge is finally achieved, Yuria reacts differently than I expect and leaves me?
They say revenge is hollow. And revenge is the greatest purpose in Yuria's life. In the worst-case scenario...
Perhaps sensing my gaze, Yuria quietly opened her eyes. Those blue eyes, as always, seemed to draw me in, as if I could drown in their depths.
"Master, is something wrong? If you're thirsty..."
"No, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong."
"I see..."
Yuria shifted, reaching out to grip my shoulders before climbing onto me. Her breasts pressed against my chest, her pussy against my cock. As she slowly moved up and down, a wet, squelching sound came from her pussy.
"Yuria, do you want it again?"
"Yes, Master. I want your cock."
"Then I have no choice."
I pulled Yuria into a tight embrace. One hand gripped her buttocks while the other caressed her beautiful face.
I decided to put aside trivial matters like House Helbrit and the white monsters from reality, focusing instead on savoring the perfect maid before me.
"Ah, ahhh..."
The next day.
I gave instructions to the maids of the mansion.
Most of the mansion's food and daily necessities came from my trips to the real world. However, this time I intended to avoid returning there as much as possible. To reach the Vampire Detective world where I obtained supplies, I first had to go to the real world, where I was currently facing off against the White Monster.
Aside from the Korea Merchant Guild, there shouldn't be any major problems. The mansion has enough supplies to last at least a year.
The Korea Merchant Guild would likely adopt a passive and defensive stance for the time being. Their profits would take a hit, but their accumulated reserves should allow them to weather the storm.
"Master, I've completed all the tasks you assigned."
Yuria entered my room and spoke. I turned my gaze to the maid standing beside her. The maid's golden hair, reminiscent of a wheat field, was neatly styled into an updo a bun, I believe it's called. It's a hairstyle often worn by brides on their wedding day.
With her porcelain-white skin and amber eyes, she was undeniably beautiful. However, since all the maids working at the mansion were stunning beauties, her appearance wasn't particularly surprising.
What truly intrigued me was the air of refinement she exuded. It was a cultured grace rarely found in commoners who had lived ordinary lives. Moreover, she appeared incredibly young, as if she had just come of age.
"A new maid?"
"My name is Vanessa Nauroel. As of today, I will be working at Master Sung Yujin's mansion," Vanessa said clearly, bowing her head. I noticed her hand, gripping her skirt, trembling slightly. She was trying to act calm, but she was clearly very nervous.
I scanned her body.
Her breasts were a B-cup, but there was still room for growth. Her waist was slender. Her hips were obscured by her skirt; I'd need to see them bare to make a proper assessment.
"Welcome to the mansion, Vanessa."
I strode toward her, grasped her chin, and tilted her face upward. Up close, she looked even better. She passed the test. I touched her face, tracing the shape of her nose and caressing her soft lips. A familiar scent of shampoo wafted from her.
Yuria spoke from beside me.
"Vanessa is from an orphanage."
"An orphanage? That's unexpected."
"The orphanage director used to be a tutor. She praised Vanessa as the most intelligent of all the children."
"I see... So she's acting as a teacher for the children?"
"Yes. There are some areas where she's lacking, but I can teach her those myself."
Yuria had chosen her, so her background must be verified and there shouldn't be any problems. None of the maids she'd brought me before had ever disappointed me.
I released Vanessa's hand.
"...You're not going to embrace her?" Yuria asked, her tone puzzled. If I were my usual self, I would have stripped Vanessa naked immediately.
"In two days."
I am a noble with a title.
In the past, I used to make excuses to laze around and indulge in leisure. Since the other nobles paid me little attention, there were no problems.
But things have changed. Rumors spread that the Korea Merchant Guild was effectively mine, and the other nobles began to take notice. I now receive invitations to aristocratic gatherings: social parties, birthday celebrations, hunts, and more.
Following Yuria's advice that attending social events would help me secure the Count of Prucus title more easily, I've recently started attending these gatherings.
Tonight, I've been invited to dinner by a viscount from a nearby territory.
I'll come back in two days and claim her. Just like how beer tastes best after a hard day's work, a virgin will taste best after a hard day's work too. Heh heh heh.
I gently stroked my throbbing member, which was straining upward.
"I'll escort you," I offered.
"No, it's fine. It's not far. Floy will provide protection, and I'll take Amanda as my maid. I also have a Space Transfer Scroll, so there's no danger. Yuria, please take care of Vanessa."
Floy was a knightess and former professor whom I'd brought from the Academy, while Amanda was a sniper from the AM Unit.
"Understood," they replied.
If I had my way, I would have taken Yuria with me. But knowing how busy she was as Head Maid, I rarely tried to bring her along.
Before leaving, I kissed Yuria and Vanessa. Yuria accepted it as natural, but Vanessa's cheeks flushed crimson.
Two days from now... I can hardly wait. Heh heh heh.
"Haa..."
Vanessa Nauroel sighed.
She was an orphan. Abandoned at the Nauroel Orphanage in her infancy, she had grown up there. The Director, a former tutor, had cared for Vanessa and the other orphans with genuine affection. From him, she had learned to read, study history, and master proper etiquette.
Despite the hardships of orphanage life, Vanessa had found happiness in the sense of family she shared with the other children.
However, the recent death of the Guild Master who had sponsored the Nauroel Orphanage had brought a wave of despair. The Guild Master's son had ruthlessly cut off all funding, plunging the orphanage into a severe financial crisis. They were now struggling to provide even one meal a day for the children.
Having recently come of age, Vanessa was required to leave the orphanage. Yet she couldn't bear to abandon the struggling institution.
I wanted to enroll in the Academy and become a tutor like Director Nyang... But I can't just leave the orphanage like this. Would it be better to become a concubine for a wealthy merchant or noble instead...?
To be honest, she also feared the outside world. This world showed little kindness to women and children. Stories of women raped by bandits and entire families slaughtered by monsters were commonplace.
I heard the tavern is hiring... But working there would mean dealing with rough characters...
Vanessa was doing laundry in front of the orphanage when someone entered the grounds. It was a butler with an androgynous appearance, dressed in a crisp uniform, and a silver-haired maid whose refined bearing and striking beauty made her seem like a noblewoman.
Yuria approached Vanessa.
"Are you Miss Vanessa Nauroel?"
"Y-yes! I'm Vanessa... What can I do for you?"
Vanessa eyed them nervously. Their master must be a high-ranking noble. Had she somehow offended such a powerful figure?
"We're from Viscount Prucus's estate. We have a proposal for you."
"A proposal...?"
Vanessa listened carefully to Yuria's proposal and decided to accept it.
The maids at other mansions could only dream of the exceptional welfare and salaries offered here, and above all, the continued support for the Nauroel Orphanage while they worked at the mansion.
The intelligent Vanessa sensed that they were hiding something. She could guess what it was, and for such a reward, she could endure it without complaint.
"Vanessa! You don't have to abandon your dreams for the orphanage! Think about it again!"
The Director said, her wrinkled hands gripping Vanessa's shoulders. Vanessa smiled brightly at her mother-like figure.
"What I do is teach and care for the children. I'm not a formal tutor, but... there's not much difference between what I do and what a tutor does. I'm fine with it."
Three days later, Vanessa departed for Tebra Port City in Viscount Prucus's carriage, which had come to fetch her from the orphanage.
"Wow..."
As Vanessa entered the mansion's grounds, she couldn't help but gasp in awe.
Beyond the excessively high walls lay a meticulously manicured yet lavish garden and a five-story mansion so grand it could easily be mistaken for the residence of a Count. Having heard it was the Baron's mansion, she had imagined something akin to a wealthy merchant's estate, but this was far beyond her expectations.
What truly caught her eye, however, were the maids and butlers working at the mansion. Each one possessed striking beauty.
E-Elves?
An Elf in a maid's uniform was commanding a Water Spirit to sprinkle water across the garden.
