113 – S2.5. The Girl Magician Will Not Submit! -1
Beyond the mirror, an unfamiliar girl was making a bewildered expression. Her jaw was dropped and her mouth was wide open, as if she couldn’t believe her eyes.
Her crimson white hair was gone, replaced by long hair that was neatly trimmed into a hime cut and reached her waist. Red eyes blinked beneath long eyelashes, and her chest was plump and swollen, creating a gentle slope.
Her fingers and wrists were thin. She didn’t look emaciated, but she was definitely thinner, and the solid muscles she had built up from years of training had evaporated.
The calluses on her palms had completely disappeared, leaving them soft and fluffy. When she lightly brushed her skin, the tickling sensation felt delicate and stimulating. She couldn’t help but shudder.
Her skin was sensitive. Every time her loose clothing rustled and brushed against her skin, she got goosebumps. If it was brushed any harder, it would hurt.
“…”
She thought that if she was tortured in this state, she would scream involuntarily. It wasn’t even torture, but just gently rubbing her would make her cry out.
Unless some evil wizard had tampered with the mirror, this was. reality.
“What the hell!”
Her voice was annoyingly clear. It was a voice that was both cool and slightly cute, and it pierced her ears.
As that nice voice came out of her own vocal cords, her anger flared up and then subsided.
What happened. What happened to me.
Roderus, who had been a healthy man just yesterday, desperately tried to recall his memories. The beginning of all this was definitely the commotion that happened in the mountains last night. And.
Jingle-♬
As if on cue, the 『Transformation Device (Dreaming Mirror)』 was placed on the table. It had a large crack in the middle.
I definitely returned this. Why is it here.
Bang!
Roderus picked up the transformation device with both hands and glared at it, gritting his teeth. Last night, he had used this damn artifact to transform into a girl. It was because there were unavoidable circumstances.
But surely… I heard that the transformation would wear off after a while!
“Damn furball, come out right now! Why am I still in girl form-!!”
In an instant, the scream of a man who had lost his manhood echoed through the air.
The time goes back a few days.
—- —-
It is only natural that those who fail are punished.
Roderus Redburn was imprisoned in the dungeon as punishment for failing his mission. The interior of the prison was poorly managed and in a state of disrepair, with dampness seeing into the walls and mold blooming.
There were no windows, no lights, not even a single torch, making it extremely dark. There was nothing to indicate the passage of time, so he had no idea how many days he had been imprisoned.
He was not given any food. If he needed moisture, he had to lick the moldy walls, and if he could catch a passing cockroach, he was lucky.
Before he was thrown into prison, he had been whipped so hard that his whole body was in pain. Some of the wounds had not healed properly and were still bleeding.
‘You are useless.’
The voice of Duke Redburn kept ringing in his head. His head throbbed and washed guilt over him. He should have completed the mission somehow. I am worthless if I cannot carry out my mission.
Having been raised as a blade for his master since childhood, he had no place to turn. In a world where there were no memories, no friends, no love or friendship, all that remained was the blind faith of being the ‘Duke’s right- hand man’.
Once upon a time, there seemed to be a small star in his empty heart that was a great comfort to him… but now he had forgotten. He couldn’t even remember what it was.
So, he had always held on to his meager pride.
“Damn… Just because of a commoner…!”
Noble blood.
Noble blood that is naturally superior.
Next time will be different. Next time I will show my true colors. If I had not let my guard down, I would have won. After all, my blade missed by a hair’s breadth.
In other words, if I had done just a little better, I would have won. So, I was not wrong.
Roderus huddled in a corner of the dungeon. And he begged for sleep.
The moment he fell asleep, he could escape from the pain and be free. In his dreams, no one would persecute him. So he closed his eyes tightly and tried to turn away from the throbbing pain.
However.
“aaa──!!”
Now even his dreams were not his own. Roderus woke up screaming, roughly wiping away the tears that were streaming down his face like a broken faucet. In his dream, he had lost his family once again.
“Abraham, no… It’s a stranger. I’ve never seen such an old man before…!”
It’s an illusion. It’s all an illusion.
Ever since he had been struck by the black arrow known as the ‘Heart-Shattering Profound Arrow’, he had been having nightmares every night. In his dreams, Roderus was sometimes a man and sometimes a woman, but he always woke up having lost something precious.
It’s a nightmare.
It’s dark and black. It’s a darkness so deep that he couldn’t tell if his eyes were open or closed. So he couldn’t tell the difference between reality and dreams. Either way, it was horrible.
“I am, I am Roderus… Roderus Redburn, that is. I…”
In both dreams and reality, he could only cling to the crumbling shell that was himself.
It was on the seventh day of his imprisonment that strange things began to happen to him. At some point, he started having very strange dreams…
—- —-
A meteor.
Roderus was a meteor.
He could see the twinkling night sky. And he could see the ground approaching at a rapid speed. But something was very different.
The world he was looking down on as he fell was very strange. The shape of the continent he had learned about was completely different, and the buildings that were built on it were also strangely shaped.
There were countless buildings that were taller than the Imperial Palace or the Golden Pagoda. There were so many of them that they looked like a forest made of bricks.
The ground was getting closer.
The people wore clothes of various fashions and had strange rectangular devices attached to their ears. The roads were neatly paved with some kind of black material, and horseless carriages passed by at high speeds.

Roderus realized that this was literally another world. There were so many things that he had never experienced or seen before.
And then, Roderus crashed into a deserted mountain.
—- —-
He should have died, having fallen from a height that allowed him to see the entire shape of the continent, but for some reason, Roderus’s limbs were still intact.
“…What?”
His voice came out properly. When he put his feet on the ground, he could feel the rough texture of the dirt on his bare feet. His fingers moved as well.
Is this a dream?
It couldn’t be. He could feel the wind blowing through his hair. When he took a deep breath, he could feel the coldness of the air filling his lungs.
He felt no pain. The wounds from the whipping had all healed.
Then how did he end up like this?
Had Duke Redburn decided to dispose of him? Had he thrown him into a rift in the unstable space while he was asleep?
If that was the case… What was he supposed to do?
For a moment, Roderus’s mind went blank. If he had no orders or goals. What was he supposed to do…?
“……….”
Rustle. Rustle.
As Roderus hesitated, unable to come up with an answer, he heard a rustling sound and a magical reaction. He reflexively tried to draw his rapier, but his waist was empty.
The ragged prisoner’s uniform was all that Roderus had.
Thud.
A furry creature jumped out from behind the bushes. And then a girl, who was overall yellow in color.
“This way! There’s a huge amount of pure energy over here…! A man?!”
“A meteor fell, so a new mascot appeared… A man?!”
The girl and the furry creature froze at the sight of Roderus. Roderus quickly scanned the unfamiliar creatures.
A four-legged furry creature. It seemed to be a kind of spirit.
A girl wearing a dress that was lavishly decorated with ribbons and frills. She also held a wand adorned with jewels in her right hand. She had a moderate amount of magical power.
I can win if I fight them.
Even though I’m unarmed, I have the advantage in terms of the amount of magical power I have.
His talent was the materialization of magical power. By invoking magical power and solidifying it, he could create a magical rapier even when he was unarmed.
Like this, if I move my magical power…
If I move it…?
“……….?”
There was no magical power.
He looked everywhere for the magical power that should have been circulating through his body, but it was nowhere to be found. As Roderus panicked and broke out in a cold sweat, the girl looked around and said. “Hey, brother. Have you ever seen a strange-looking animal similar to this around here? It looks like a soft steamed bun.”
“I don’t look strange mong-!”
In honor, brother?
And judging from the lightness of the vocabulary he used, he did not appear to be a high-ranking nobleman. In Roderus’ head his, a switch to despise commoners was turned on.
“… It’s a farce. Keep unproductive skits among yourselves, you lowlifes.”
“…!!”
The female looked as if she had been struck by lightning.
“Wow, cheesy Wang Jae-su is a character that only appears in the 00’s.”
“….”
Although he did not know exactly what the list of sentences meant, the nuance showed no hint of respect for nobles, which made Roderus cry. And he scolded the low-ranking bastards.
“I am Roderus Redburn. Be polite to nobles!”
“…Do you think this person was “Yuseong”?”
“…It seems like that.”
The female said, hmm, after adjusting her voice.
“Earth is not a class-based society, right? Nobles and kings have all been beaten to death for a long time, so don’t think about how you will be treated well… I am Oh Hye-in.”
“Oh… “What?”
“Are you from another world? Here, there are many things that cannot be done with magic, so please follow me obediently. I will even take care of your food, sleep, and clothing.”
Another world. “Meteor”. Magic.
They knew that Roderus had fallen from the sky and that he was from another world. If so, he might know why he ended up here or how to get back.
But how far can you trust an unfamiliar person? Roderus said, glaring at the female with suspicion.
“…What do you mean I trust and follow you, lowlife?”
“Ah, don’t like it.”
“….”
“Don’t skip it and follow along. Koreans only recommend it three times.”
The female snapped her fingers and started going down her hill. Her tangled bundle of fur glanced at Roderus and ran through the bushes.
…Okay.
Although he was a rude lowlife, Roderus knew nothing about this place. It would be better for him than being left alone in the mountains.
And there is no reason for him to decline when he says he will provide clothes, housing, food, and information on his own.
Roderus walked with long strides and chased after the female Oh Hye-in.
—- —- —- — —-
Roderus and Oh Hye-in talked while walking through the dark mountain. Roderus was mainly the one asking questions, and Hyein was the one answering.
“What country’s capital is this?”
“South Korea. This is not the capital. You have to take the KTX all the way up to find the capital. “It’s called Seoul.”
“Don’t lie, you low life. There are so many tall buildings that can be seen even in the mountains… ”
“Believe it or not. But are you really going to keep talking so bluntly? Aren’t I the boss now?”
Hyein crossed her arms and tilted her head crookedly. Roderus said confidently as she crossed her arms.
“I don’t know what superiority is, but it roughly means that you have the upper hand, right? Bloodline is something that doesn’t change under any circumstances. No matter how wealthy you are, if you have the blood of a low -class person, you are a low-class person.”
“This guy is really… AC, I can’t call him ‘Mister’ even though he’s so handsome. Hey, oppa, it’s been over a hundred years since the caste system was ruined?”
“Don’t force other countries’ laws, Cheongeo.”
“When you go to Rome, don’t you know that you have to follow the Roman laws?! No, just say one more word. And from that moment on, we’ll be bapa… Wait.”
Oh Hye-in raised her wand and stopped her steps.
Roderus also stopped her steps and looked across the western sky. Although magic power does not move, it seems that magic power detection can be performed normally. I felt it.
A huge, evil magic power flying quickly from far away.
“Oh, I think I’m here, dream! This level of impure energy is probably the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’!! Hyein, let’s run away!”
“But, I can’t abandon my brother!”
“Don’t make a fuss, it’s already too late. Lowborn… No, commoner. Get ready to fight.”
“If you do a thousand things, they said you’d be a bastard, so they upgraded you to a commoner and called you now… ?!”
Shuuu everyone!!
While Oh Hye-in was astonished by Roderus ‘unwavering ego her her her, something fell vertically, leaving a crater on her ground.
“Ugh… !!”Dust flew, and a pure white female rose from the center of the crater. Her skin and hair were erily white. And decorating that innocent white color was a gothic dress with half black and half.
The pure white female was engulfed in her fearsome magical power. Her skin her her tingles her. Both Roderus and Oh Hye-in nervously swallowed their dry saliva.
The apex predator in front of her muttered softly to himself.
“…Are you really doing this? No, I said I was cooperating, I knew that…! But still, my face is, ah, okay, okay, you crazy bastard…! Don’t put the setting for peeing …!”
She mumbles like a crazy person, expresses her anger towards someone, and then goes crazy. She struck an exaggerated pose and acted.
“This body is a tip of the ‘Four Heavenly Kings’, ‘Bringer of the Abyss and Darkness’, ‘Espoir de Eternal Dark’, worship!”
“….”
“….”
After silence, Roderus opened his mouth.
“…Is it a mental attack?”
“…If I look like I’m going to die due to my empathy level, I guess I’m being attacked?”
“I’ll kill you, magic female-!!”
The 7% foreign media hastily launched an attack on Goth-Lori, I Love Humans So Much.
