----------------------------------------
I was a bottom-tier hero.
I was one of countless hero candidates summoned to this shitty other world, and after clawing my way up, I somehow managed to become a hero.
But that was my limit.
No matter how hard I tried, my talent only got me to C-rank hero. I couldn't go beyond that.
Getting summoned to another world right after discharge from the army was bad enough, but to not even be a main character and just an extra? Fuck.
Cursing that damned goddess and this rotten world was only natural.
But maybe that was the cause.
In the end, humanity and the heroes were defeated. And brutally, at that.
Of course, I died too.
Yeah, I definitely died, but...
"Greetings, candidates."
"...Huh?"
The blinding white light cleared, and with a gentle voice, a woman came into view.
A voice and face I knew.
Beautiful wavy golden hair that shimmered like threads of spun gold. A flashy dress that seemed deliberately designed to accentuate her voluptuous figure. A glimpse of her fair upper chest. A gentle face so kind it looked saintly.
The name of this beauty that made my eyes pop out of my head:
'Queen Sharperia.'
"You must have been surprised by the sudden summoning. To put it simply, you have been chosen by the Goddess and called here as hero candidates for this world."
"Whoa... heroes? Like from movies or games?"
At the voice from beside me, I turned my head.
There was a guy whose appearance made the words 'Geum Tae-yang' instantly pop into my head. I knew this guy too. Unlike me, he had talent and safely climbed to B-rank hero—a punk named Kim Jung-kyung.
'What the hell is this?'
I'm bewildered.
I clearly died in the final battle. So how did this suddenly happen?
There was one possibility that came to mind, but I couldn't easily accept it.
Could it be... regression?
'Other world summoning and now regression... This is fucking ridiculous.'
I accepted the situation quickly. I mean, I'd already experienced the absurdity of being summoned to another world and becoming a hero candidate the first time.
Compared to that, even if I'm past my prime, other world summoning is an element that rivals the elixir of life, so why wouldn't regression be possible too?
But there was one strange thing.
'Why me?'
Among the heroes, there were S-rank heroes, and even limiting it to this other world, there were plenty of people who could change history if they knew the future. So why the hell was it me, who barely managed to become a C-rank hero? I couldn't understand it at all.
'Well, since it's come to this, let's make the most of the future knowledge and information I have.'
Even with regression buffs, it'd be impossible for me to become an S-rank hero, but at least by the final battle, I might reach A-rank. If I work to ensure humanity's victory, I should be able to spend a comfortable retirement, right?
After finishing my thoughts, I looked at Queen Sharperia again.
'...Huh?'
Thinking about it, there was one more strange thing.
When I was first summoned, the first person me and the other three candidates saw wasn't the queen, but the king. Not a beautiful woman like the queen, but a typical middle-aged, hairy man. There's no way I could forget the first scene after being summoned to another world.
That's when it happened.
"Ah, I was late with my introduction. I am Sharperia Palania, Queen of the Palania Kingdom."
"...Queen?"
Her shocking words made me unconsciously ask back.
"Hehe, yes. I am the queen."
I'd barely calmed down and now I'm confused again.
What the hell. What on earth is going on?
Why did the woman who was queen become... the queen? What about the king? What happened to that bastard?
While I was flustered, another candidate besides Geum Tae-yang spoke up.
It was Lee Hee-sung with glasses and an slicked-back hairstyle.
"Then, do we have to learn swordsmanship or magic and fight monsters or demons?"
He asked, scrunching up his nose.
Back in the first round, Lee Hee-sung had asked the king the exact same question.
Even though it was over ten years ago and a trivial question, it remained vividly in my memory. Because Lee Hee-sung was the most elite among the three summoned candidates. A genius who achieved S-rank hero and became renowned as a sage.
'Kind of bittersweet.'
While some people might hope for A-rank after regressing, there's also a talent freak who reached S-rank in less than ten years.
But the queen's answer was different from what I knew.
"No, that is not the case."
"...What?"
Not just me, but slicked-back Lee Hee-sung and Geum Tae-yang were shocked.
Because when you think of heroes, you naturally picture someone wielding weapons and fighting on the front lines with comrades. That's what the heroes I knew did too. I just struggled because I had no talent for weapons or magic.
But the queen's following words were even more shocking.
"Heroes, no—men do not fight. That is women's job."
"Wait, what the hell..."
"How can a man stand behind a woman?"
The queen gave a sweet smile to the men objecting on either side of me.
"I forgot to mention this. This world is different from where you lived. One hero from the previous batch said it seemed like a complete gender-reversed world."
'The fuck?'
No, if you're gonna make me regress, do it normally. A gender-reversed world? This isn't regression, it's parallel world travel or something. Then the knowledge I have is pretty much useless...
"Then what is the man's role?"
All-back Lee Hee-sung asked the core question.
Even if it's gender-reversed, it's clearly strange for only women to fight. In the first round, there was mana, a superhuman power, and both men and women stood on the battlefield.
But the queen's answer was:
"That's obvious, isn't it? You must provide your seed."
"What?"
"Th-that... seed? How can a woman speak such lewd words..."
I was more surprised by Lee Hee-sung's words than the queen's and turned my head.
What did he just say? Lewd words? You, from a woman? What's wrong with you?
Thinking about it, in the first round, even after becoming an S-rank hero, Lee Hee-sung apparently didn't get involved with women much. There were even rumors he was gay. Could it be he's not that, but just a prude?
"My, to call seed lewd. What a precious and sacred elixir."
Saying that, the queen made a circle with her gloved hand and shook it in the air.
That obscene hand gesture that any man—and most women—would recognize. She even licked her lips with a suggestive smile. Fuck, shit. This is insane. Even in a gender-reversed world, she's a married woman with a husband.
...Ah, fuck.
My body right now is that of a young man freshly discharged from the army. And my mind is that of a starving 30-something who hasn't touched a woman in years. At the slightest stimulation, my third leg started acting like it was its turn.
"...?"
This is really fucked.
The queen saw the bulge in my pants.
B-but it's a gender-reversed world, so it should be fine, right? Plus she's a woman who says stuff like that openly...
I don't know if my guess was right or wrong, but the queen blushed and coughed a few times. Fuck, it's definitely because of me. She rolled her eyes to check the disgusting other two men, but those bastards are fine.
No, am I the weird one? Do they not get turned on by that?
"Ahem, hem. A-anyway, the role of male hero candidates is simple. Provide your seed to your selected female comrades."
"Surely the method of providing..."
"The womb is preferable, but oral is fine for those who find it difficult. It can be effective enough through oral intake. In fact, that's more common."
W-womb, what the fuck... Wait? It's effective through oral intake? Could it be...
At that sudden thought, I cautiously raised my hand and asked a question. Since I might already be marked, I tried to be as polite and good-mannered as possible.
"If a woman receives seed, does she get stronger or... something like that?"
Geum Tae-yang looked at me like I was an idiot, and slicked-back Lee Hee-sung looked at me like I was trash. What the hell? It's other world fantasy and a gender-reversed world—it's totally possible! Why are you looking at me like that?!
But I was right.
"Ah, correct. I hadn't explained that yet, but you figured it out first."
Their expressions changed to shock.
Fucking bastards. Annoying me from the start. You're not even worth calling by name. All-back and Geum Tae-yang is enough.
"Please. To protect this world from darkness, I beg you—give us your seed."
The queen slightly bowed at the waist. Honestly, it was fucking arousing. A beautiful queen asking for seed with her cleavage showing. Thanks to that, I had to stand slightly hunched over. My pants were too uncomfortable.
A situation where a man couldn't refuse.
I, and Geum Tae-yang too, readily said okay, thank you.
But there was one bastard who wasn't a man.
"I refuse."
"What?"
"How could I give my... seed to some random woman... ugh... I-I could never do that, whether it's the womb or the mouth."
"...Why?"
"Didn't I just say? How can a proper man give his... seed to a woman he doesn't love! I, Lee Hee-sung, swear that I can only form beautiful relationships with those I love. I refuse to become a hero."
"..."
All-back must be some kind of pre-marital chastity nutjob.
Hearing his words, the queen's expression gradually turned cold. Fuck, that's dangerous.
"Is Lee Hee-sung candidate's oath... a magical binding oath?"
"It's a promise to myself!"
"I see. Very well."
Click.
The queen snapped her fingers, and soldiers appeared behind her, approaching us. Specifically, slicked-back. Wow, even the soldiers are women in this gender-reversed world. And stronger than slicked-back.
"Wh-what is the meaning of this!"
"I'm sorry, but we have no way to send you back."
"Wh-what?!"
"Only the Goddess who summoned you knows that method. And there are only two choices. Become a candidate, or..."
Scared by the queen's menacing gaze, slicked-back gulped.
"O-or...?"
"As a rare man from another world, you must contribute by providing seed."
"Wh-what? No, what...! W-wait... where are you taking me!! Uwaaah!!!"
"..."
With a scream, slicked-back—Lee Hee-sung—disappeared.
In the first round, a genius mage who became an S-rank hero with outstanding talent and upright character, loved by all, was probably dragged away to become a male semen dispenser.
At this moment, I realized it clearly.
The future had already been twisted, and my regression knowledge was fucking useless here... but this is fucking easy mode, isn't it?
