[What it Means to Become an Adult (3)]

A transitional period in which the regime of the Fairy Goddess Im Gaeul was about to be handed over to Ha Baek-ryeon.

It was also a time when the powerful organization, Guma, which had been spreading its influence across the country to create a world for the new humans, was collapsing.

So, the fact that youve all come this far means that Agares is no longer in this world.

That foolish woman If she had just made up her mind, it wouldnt have been so difficult to destroy this country

Guma Lilith released a deep sigh.

After causing several months of terror in Seoul and Incheon, she had descended to Dongdaegu, where she had created her dungeon and waited for the players.

As any guma would do, she was overwhelmed by omnipresence and transformed into a demon, enabling her to exert a power equivalent to natural disasters.

But what should I do? I have no intention of dying to you like Belzebuth or Agares.

You should have waited for me to leave the nest instead of coming down to the Dongdaegu. Look, some of you are already entering heat.

Guma Belzebuth had the ability to cause plagues and infect creatures into monsters.

Guma Agares possessed the power to obliterate entire areas with a single wave of her hand.

And Guma Lilith had the ability to stir all living beings into a frenzy of lust with her mere presence.

This is my nest. No matter how much you raise your mana resistance, the longer you stay here, the harder it will be to maintain your sanity due to the overwhelming sexual desire.

Liliths terrorist attacks in Seoul and Incheon were also linked to her traits.

She had occupied cultural facilities, including department stores and YH department store, and cast a spell that aroused sexual desire in the people there.

When the players found the locations where terror had occurred, they witnessed scenes of people, stripped naked, forgetting their human dignity, engaging in relationships like animals.

Those affected by her magic had to satisfy their desires for a minimum of three days and up to a maximum of seven days. In severe cases, it could take about a month for their desires to subside.

Why are you so surprised? Dont you think youll be the same? This will be your future. So, its best to find a comfortable place.

Youll have to shake your hips for days; its better to choose a place where your knees wont hurt, right?

The words of the survivors were grim.

There were women with unwanted children, some of them with husbands.

The child they were forced to give birth to was Ain, a child they could not bring themselves to kill.

To be said to have fallen under Liliths spell was to have been affected by her omnipresence.

The Ain born this way were mostly abandoned, and most women chose to end their lives.

There was no hope for them in this world.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Women were forced to despise themselves for being in relationships like dogs in heat, driven by uncontrollable lust.

Moreover, spouses, family, and society looked at these women who had inappropriate relationships with disdain, as if looking at garbage.

In the end, the children born last were Ain, as society says that there is no sin in life that is being born.

Men should stay with the women they desire. You wouldnt want them taken away by someone else, would you? Be thankful to me. Even if I cause chaos, you wont be punished as criminals, right?

It wasnt just women.

Men were also waiting for their turn for unpleasant words.

They had to shake their hips for several dayss, often ended up knocked unconscious, crippled, or worse, dead.

Even those who managed to survive felt a sense of alienation and despair at being completely transformed into beings who had lost their human dignity due to the contamination of their minds by magic.

As such, the Mana Management Organization had to be prepared to select players to defeat Lilith.

The players selected were those who had the strength to defeat third-rank monsters, had high mana resistance, could resist temptation magic if possible, and in the case of women, players who were not in their fertile period.

Interesting. Its the first time Ive seen someone completely immune to my magic.

The party members chosen from the Mist Flower Party were Eunha and Yoo jung.

Eunha was able to counter Liliths magic with his Gift <Berserk>, and Yoo jung, who happened not to be in her fertile period, could block her magic as a supporter.

Thus, the players were able to minimize the damage and defeat Lilith in her nest in Dongdaegu.

The problem was Yoo Jung.

Ah, please Dont come. Please, if you come, I I!

It wasnt a violent battle, but it was mentally draining.

Yoo jung, who had to assist Eunha in confronting Lilith up close, was unavoidably exposed to her magic.

She had fallen victim to Liliths magic just before she died.

Please Dont come. Please, please, please, dont come.

Even the players who had gone through harrowing experiences felt a sense of discord within themselves, overwhelmed by their own engulfing desires, and they were often in a state of despair.

Yoo jung was no exception.

She tried to restrain herself somehow, not wanting to show him her vulnerable state of being consumed by lust.

Stop I said, stopstop

But those who were exposed to Liliths magic had no choice but to somehow release their explosive desires.

Otherwise, they would end up unable to contain the boiling lust within them and might eventually choose the path of self-destruction, which was all too common.

When they were forcibly restrained until the magics effect wore off, their minds were often left in shambles.

I cantI cantplease.

Tears streaming down her face, Yoo jung pleaded for him not to come, but the moment he pressed his lips against hers, she lost her sanity.

The kiss never ended, as he explored her mouth with such fervor that she barely had time to breathe.

He stayed by her side for three days and nights until her rationality returned.

Sorry, its because of me

Whats there to be sorry about?

Because of me you

I dont regret it.

They were more than friends, less than lovers.

Perhaps it couldnt be defined by any label.

Nevertheless, neither of them confessed their feelings for the other.

Or, more accurately, they didnt take the chance.

Because he was scared.

He was afraid to find hope in a hopeless world, to find a reason to live.

He was content with the unchanging relationship they had.

He didnt wish for anything more than their relationship as friends, colleagues, partners, and equal companions.

Huh?

The bathroom light came on.

Eunha?

Frozen with his hand inside the sink, Eunha faced his mother who had just opened the door.

What were you doing without even turning on the bathroom light?

His mother asked, rubbing her eyes as if she was still half asleep.

She clearly hadnt fully woken up.

It was evident from her posture, leaning against the door pillar.

What, Mom What were you doing?

Eunha stuttered in surprise at his mothers sudden appearance.

Thankfully, his mother didnt seem to care.

Yawning, she answered, I came to drink water and heard strange noises from the bathroom.

Ahh, I see.

But what about these boxers?

Th-this?

Eunha felt embarrassed. His mother was pointing to the boxers inside the sink with the hands she had just wiped her eyes with.

Eunha awkwardly explained, Uh, I, I had an accident I wet myself earlier

In that case, put it in the laundry basket and change into a new one. Also, go to bed quickly.

Uhhh, yes, okay!

He thought he was in big trouble. Eunha, holding the dripping boxers as discreetly as possible, came out of the bathroom.

As soon as he came out, his mother turned off the bathroom light.

Ill do the laundry tomorrow.

Uh, okay.

You have to go to school later. What if you oversleep? Go in and sleep quickly.

You should rest too, Mom.

Alright, Eunha, you too.

Eunha, putting the boxers in the laundry basket, walked back to his room with uncertain steps.

Lying down on the bed, he stared at the ceiling.

Mom didnt notice, right?

She hadnt noticed.

Eunha answered his own question in his mind.

Ugh, why did I do something I hadnt done before I regressed!

Eunha pulled the blanket over himself.

Tonight, he was in big trouble.

Ugh

He needed to take a shower in the morning.

He only thought about taking off his boxers.

Eunha writhed uncomfortably with a lingering feeling of unease.

The next morning.

Yawning, Eunha sat down at the dining table.

Did you sleep well?

A little.

His father, who was watching the morning news, spoke.

Just then, his mother brought toast to the table.

Both of them reached for the toast simultaneously. Their gestures of spreading jam were perfectly synchronized.

Oh, Eunha, whats wrong? You ate all the peanut butter. You didnt want to eat it because it was hard before.

Just. I felt like having it today.

Eunha casually replied to his fathers question.

Seeming drowsy, Eunae was eating yogurt beside him.

Yeah, you shouldnt be picky. Youre not a little kid anymore, Eunha.

Im not picky! I just dont eat peanut butter that much

Eunha, youre an adult now.

An adult~

What was he talking about?

Eunha frowned, and Eunae giggled.

He didnt understand what his father was finding so amusing and ended up spewing out the toast that was in his mouth.

Are you a kid? Come on, really.

N-no, its just that our son becoming an adult makes me so happy hehe But why are you laughing!

Im laughing? When?

.

His father chuckled while covering his mouth with his hand.

His mother, too, tried to hold back her laughter.

Eunha, who had stopped eating the toast, stared blankly at his parents on the other side of the table.

My oppa is an adult now! Fantastic! I want to become an adult too!

Awoken from her nap, Eunae cheered.

Then their parents burst into laughter, unable to hold it in.

I want to die.

For the first time in his life, other than when he was born, Eunha realized that he wanted to die.
