'…Was Eugene Pruckus' setting supposed to be 15 years old? But his hands are way too small for that.'
There happened to be a mirror hanging on the wall next to the bed. I got off the bed and looked into the mirror.
There I was, younger. My appearance was exactly the same as when I was a child in reality, except for the fact that my skin was unnaturally pale.
'Since I chose three years ago… I guess I've become younger by that much. Was the avatar's age set to match the original story's starting point?'
Still, my body felt too small. In reality, my childhood body was of average build.
'For some reason, my body feels heavy.'
I swung my arms and legs around.
"…Huh?!"
Pain shot through my chest.
I collapsed to the floor, caught off guard by the sudden, intense pain. My breath hitched, and my vision blurred.
'Congenital heart disease!'
It was part of Eugene Pruckus' setting. I hadn't paid much attention to it, thinking that the avatar's body would be influenced by my stats. I didn't think much of a mere heart disease.
And most importantly…
'Complete Recovery!'
The heart disease was cured. The color of my skin improved instantly. A healthy flush spread across my face. My heavy body felt lighter. I swung my arms and legs around again, just like before. No issues. I tried assuming a stance from the Yeongcheon Style.
'The Yeongcheon Style works fine too. Even though my body is smaller, I can still use my skills and traits properly.'
This time, I realized that the settings were properly affecting me.
'The genius hacker setting from the Vampire Detective didn't affect me.'
I think that's unavoidable. I'm not influenced by the avatar's knowledge, experiences, memories, or personality. The only exception is the language knowledge the avatar primarily uses.
'The knowledge of the continent's common language is properly embedded.'
It was fascinating since it was a language that didn't exist in reality.
'Oh, wait. If my body has become smaller… that means my dick has shrunk too, right?!'
Startled, I hurriedly pulled down my pants.
A clean, hairless dick appeared. It was a smaller version of my real-life dick. In other words, it was circumcised.
And it was quite big. If fully erect, it would be larger than that of the average Korean adult male.
"Heh!"
I chuckled and fiddled with my dick. I know two ways to calm myself down. One is fiddling with my smartphone, and the other is fiddling with my dick. My genitals began to stiffen. I let go of my dick and grabbed my smartphone.
"I'll check my sexual functions later. First, let's check the inventory…"
[Growth penalty applied. Stats are decreasing.]
[The growth penalty reduces stats based on growth progress.]
=====
[Name: Seong Eugene]
[Level: 30]
[Stats]
[Strength: 6(21)]
[Stamina: 7(21)]
[Agility: 7(22)]
[Intelligence: 12]
[Vitality: 30]
=====
'Strength, Stamina, and Agility have dropped. Intelligence and Vitality remain the same. It's because my body has become smaller.'
It was fine. I didn't plan on pushing my body too hard in this world anyway.
'Intelligence aside, as long as Vitality is properly applied, it's fine.'
I could also use points to forcibly grow or shrink my body. I resisted the urge to use points to enlarge my genitals.
'Hold back. Hold back. Even at this size, I can still enjoy sex. And I have the Sexual Arousal skill…'
I pulled up my pants and took out an item I had prepared in my inventory.
A small mana generator.
It uses the mana from processed magic stones as fuel to generate electricity. It costs 700,000 won. I didn't even need to go to a hunter shop; I could buy it online.
'Despite its small size, its specs are impressive. It has an output of 30 kW.'
The downside is that it uses magic stones as fuel. The basic magic stone alone costs over 300,000 won.
'I've invested in a high-purity magic stone worth 5 million won, so it should last for several months.'
Next, I took out a box from my inventory.
It contained electronic devices, including a laptop.
'There's no need for me to endure the inconveniences of a fantasy world, right?'
I placed the wiretaps and miniature cameras I brought from the Vampire Detective world on the table and chuckled.
'These primitive people have no idea about cameras, so I can install them openly without them noticing.'
Of course, I didn't actually plan to install cameras openly.
'If I'm going to take over the Count's family, I need to do at least this much… Kehahaha!'
I installed cameras in my room first.
***
A month had passed since I entered the 'Baekhwan' play world.
During that time, I quietly focused on gathering information. The information I knew from the original story was ultimately just a glimpse of a distant future that hadn't arrived yet.
'There's so much to learn about this world's culture, noble etiquette, and more.'
First, I learned about my position, Eugene Pruckus.
Having a congenital heart disease, I received consideration from most people. This was quite convenient because even if I did something strange, I wouldn't be scolded too harshly.
'However, there are restrictions on my actions.'
If I tried to exercise or leave the mansion, the servants or knights would stop me.
'It's a good thing that the Illusiter lasts for 30 minutes in this world.'
I have two Illusiters. That gives me a total of one hour to move around freely. However, I had to be careful around knights and mages. Their keen senses could detect my presence.
'At one point, a camera was discovered, but I passed it off as a toy I made, and they let it slide. The sickly setting is quite convenient. I should use it often in the future.'
I glanced at the laptop on the table. Through the installed cameras, I could monitor the mansion in real-time.
'Over the past month, nothing special has happened. It's just pure peace. Damn it, I'm so bored.'
If I wasn't reading books, there was almost nothing to do.
At least I could sneak peeks at the maids working in the mansion. Lately, I've been checking the cameras just to see them.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Young Master Eugene! I've brought you some tea!"
"Come in."
The door opened, and Lexi, dressed in a maid outfit, entered. She was a maiden with brown hair and freckles on her face. Her name was Lexi Elvis.
'I can't look down on her just because she's a servant.'
Some servants working in the mansion were commoners, but half of them were children of the Pruckus family's vassals.
A personal servant of a noble like me would usually be a noble themselves. Lexi was the daughter of the knight commander.
Lexi placed a teapot, teacup, and some snacks on the table.
"Wow~ Young Master's room is always so cool."
Lexi glanced at the air conditioner working hard. Even though she had seen it several times over the past month, she still acted like this every time. She must really want an air conditioner.
"Young Master, could you make one for me too? Of course, I'll pay the proper price!"
I lied, saying that I made all the electronic devices like the air conditioner myself. After spinning a detailed lie about ancient ruins and books, I managed to convince them. Well, even if they were suspicious, what could they do? I'm the one who made it.
In this world, status was everything, and there were only two people in this mansion with a higher status than me.
"No. I don't have the materials."
"If I get the materials, will you make one for me?"
"Why don't you just buy a magic tool? It'll be cheaper."
"Ice magic tools require constant replacement of magic stones, so they're too expensive."
I drank the tea. I didn't think it tasted particularly good. Tea time was supposed to be about a noble's dignity or something.
"Lexi, you're 22 this year, right?"
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
Lexi had already positioned herself right in front of the air conditioner.
"Not married yet?"
"…No suitable proposals have come my way."
Lexi awkwardly smiled as she spoke.
In this world, people married quickly.
"What about my second brother?"
"Oh, come on. How could I marry Young Master Kyle? I'm just a simple maid, and Young Master Kyle is a direct descendant of the Pruckus family."
She was right.
Pruckus County, located in the eastern border of the Rapherry Kingdom, was nominally a county but wielded power greater than a marquis. Even the king and dukes couldn't treat the Pruckus County lightly.
Lexi's father was the knight commander, a local noble. In other words, Lexi was a commoner. A commoner woman marrying the child of a great lord? Under normal circumstances, it was impossible.
"I was just asking. But is it really that hot?"
"Yes. It's so hot. If I stand outside for just 10 minutes, sweat pours down my neck."
Lexi fluttered her large skirt.
I slightly opened my mouth as I looked at her white legs.
'Does she even realize she's my personal maid?'
I can understand her being comfortable around me. I've never treated her with authority. Plus, my appearance is that of a child. With my illness, it's natural for her to look down on me.
'…Her father being the knight commander probably plays a part too.'
Just now, I caught a glimpse of her white panties.
'I have to hold back. I have to hold back. I have to hold back.'
When she tempts me so openly, even if she's not my type, I can't help but feel aroused.
I can't pounce on her here. She's the daughter of a vassal. I haven't even started my proper plans yet, so I can't afford to make an enemy of the knight commander.
"Ahhh... It feels so good, Young Master."
Lexi, with her back to the air conditioner, shivered as she spoke.
"...."
I felt a seductive aura from her. My dick twitched slightly. I stood up from the chair. I needed to calm my sexual urges somewhere out of sight.
"Young Master?"
"Ah, I'm just going to the bathroom for a moment."
My room had a private bathroom attached. It had a proper toilet, and the water flowed well. In the medieval times of reality, this would have been a dream, but here, everything was possible thanks to magic.
"Really? Oh! Young Master! Wait a moment. Your clothes are disheveled."
Before I could stop her, she approached me. The alluring scent of a woman hit me.
"It's not like I'm going outside, so it doesn't matter."
"No, Young Master. You're a direct descendant of the Pruckus family, so you should always be mindful of your appearance. Besides, this is my job."
"...."
Lexi bent over and used both hands to adjust my disheveled clothes.
Her chest was right in front of my eyes. The maid outfit in this world, perhaps due to the author's taste, exposed the upper part of the chest, collarbone, and part of the shoulders.
'A firm B-cup.'
Instinctively measuring her size, I deliberately let out a deep sigh.
"There, Young Master."
"…Ah, thank you."
I slightly bent my waist and pushed my hips back. I didn't want her to notice my erect dick. I'm a noble. I need to manage my image.
I tried to walk past Lexi, but she moved to the side, and our legs got tangled. In my lustful state, I made a mistake I wouldn't have normally.
"Kyaaak?!"
Lexi and I tumbled to the floor together. I deliberately put weight on my body. It was an unconscious instinct.
My face buried into her firm chest. I inhaled, taking in her milky scent. Strangely, every woman's scent is similar yet slightly different. But they all excite me the same.
'Ah, fuck. I can't hold back. Knight Commander? Ogre Expert? Screw that. If he gets in my way, I'll just assassinate him with poison.'
I slipped my left hand into Lexi's cleavage and lifted her skirt with my right hand. Her white panties came into view.
"Y-Young Master?!"
I immediately pulled down my pants and took out my fully erect penis. I pressed it against her white panties. Through the thin fabric, I could feel the softness of her vulva.
"I can't hold back, Lexi. If you're my personal maid, you should take care of my dick too."
Regardless of preferences, Lexi was still a beautiful woman. Having such a woman in a maid outfit serve me for a month. How could I not be turned on?
'In reality, I've fast-forwarded a lot, so it's only been about four real-life days.'
Anyway, I've held back for a long time.
I pulled out her perky breasts from her clothes. Her nipples were pink. They weren't erect yet, but that's fine. I have the Sexual Arousal skill.
[Lexi Elvis's erogenous zones: Clitoris, Calves.]
I already knew her erogenous zones. I felt a bit sorry for Lexi, but I had no intention of foreplay. I wanted to insert myself right away.
I reached for her panties. With the tip of my finger, I pulled her white panties to the side and aimed my glans. Precum was flowing, so even if she wasn't wet, it would be fine.
"I'm putting it in."
"Kyaaaaaaah!"
Lexi screamed and pushed me away. My body floated in the air and fell onto the bed.
"Huh?"
I couldn't understand what had just happened.
Since when did women have such strength? Even though my stats had dropped due to the growth penalty, I was still stronger and more durable than an average person.
"Kyaaaaaaah!"
Thud!
Lexi opened the door, screamed, and ran away.
"...Tch!"
I realized things had gone wrong.
"I didn't get to put it in. Damn it. I should've just shoved it in without hesitation."
Then things wouldn't have gone wrong.
