Heroine Netori-Chapter 107: 18+

He had spent {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} a considerable amount of points on increasing his Vitality stat in the game of Heroic Sagas. The exponential cost of points had led to significant expenses. So, he saw this as an opportunity to test out some challenges and earn points. Although there were many difficult challenges, there were also many feasible ones, and he felt confident.

"What, you have to pre-select and then complete the achievements?"

Challenges had to be selected before entering 'Heroine Netori,' with a maximum of two choices. Achievements not pre-selected wouldn't earn any points even if completed. Although this felt slightly unfair, there was no other option but to comply. Fortunately, it wasn’t limited to choosing just one.

To save on points, he first chose the 'Achieve Mission All-Random' challenge, a task he had successfully completed several times before and seemed manageable. Alongside it, he selected the 'Achieve Mission Without Tips' challenge. Each challenge was worth 50,000 points, so completing them would grant an additional 100,000 points on top of the basic rewards.

"This is really sweet."

At this rate, he'd become rich in points soon.

"Shall we get started?"

Imagining accumulating points, he initiated 'Heroine Netori.' Suddenly, everything went dark.

"?"

Something was wrong. He wasn’t supposed to see that text. Was this a prank? A hidden camera show? This had never happened before... Please tell me it's just a joke.

He passed out at the sight of the dreadful word that starts with B and ends with L.

****

It was a terrible dream. Surrounded by handsome men fighting over another handsome man, all adorned with flowers or stars around their faces, each moment was excruciating. He felt like vomiting every time he saw them. Thankfully, it was just a dream.

"Dirk! Are you awake?"

"?!"

Am I still dreaming? Why is the guy from my dream right in front of me? Maybe I'm still asleep. He closed his eyes, denying reality, and fell back asleep.

"Dirk! Are you really awake this time?"

"?!"

Why is it still the same? What's going on?

****

After fainting again and eventually regaining consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes to see Siu, his childhood friend, asleep with his face buried in his bed. It seemed he had been taking care of him and had fallen asleep in the process. He wasn't particularly fond of a man's care, especially not after a fluttering care event with Siu, which made curses climb up his throat.

"Damn it..."

The terrible dream was actually the memory of the body he had absorbed starting 'Heroine Netori.' The guy in front of him was the protagonist, and true to the BL genre, he was surrounded by men showing interest in him. His mission was to seduce these men.

"Fucking hell..."

What a predicament. He was stuck in the challenge, as quitting midway was not an option during a challenge. A 50,000-point challenge? Ridiculous. If humanity were the price, he'd expect ten million points. A genre like this should never be chosen.

He thought about smashing Siu's head in while he slept, but according to his memories, the guy wouldn't die. Surprisingly, Siu possessed a protagonist-like ability called 'Death Regression,' meaning he wouldn’t stay dead. Killing him wouldn’t end 'Heroine Netori.'

He considered suicide, but he, too, was unable to die. Or more precisely, he was already dead. Siu had revived him using a resurrection artifact, and only Siu could decide his life or death. Killing himself would just lead Siu to revive him again.

So, the only solution... kill all the male leads. If all the male leads are gone, the mission would fail.

"Sigh..."

This was a medieval fantasy world where BL was the norm.

Even if an emperor cheated with a knight, people would praise the knight's beauty over a woman's and condemn the empress as a jealous woman. Men proudly married other men, and most women ended up as surrogate mothers for gay couples, raising children they never wanted.

It was truly a mad world.

If he did nothing, he would end up just another seed bearer. This damned mission was forcing him to choose between NTR-ing the male leads or being impregnated by them.

So, he had to kill all the male leads. That was the only way to escape this hellish dilemma.

"This is seriously messed up."

Although he had become a woman, he could still use the swordsmanship that Louise had used. That shouldn't be a problem.

****

“Dirk... you dare, as a woman... Argh!”

Firstly, I killed one person: an arrogant duke’s son. He had come to visit Siu under the guise of visiting the sick, and I lured him aside and punctured his solar plexus. He wasn’t a weak opponent, but killing someone off-guard was not difficult.

The Klein sword technique was nobility’s martial art, yet it was incredibly practical in actual combat, relentlessly targeting and mauling the opponent to death. It truly suited my taste.

“Ma, master? What the, ack! You?!”

Now two: I killed the duke’s son’s lackey. He froze seeing his master’s corpse, so I snuck up behind him and stabbed him in the heart. He died without managing a single counterattack.

He had been protecting himself with magic, but now that I too could infuse my sword with magic, I could easily penetrate his defenses. All thanks to Klein swordsmanship.

“Damn, that bastard’s warning was true... cough! I should have been more wary of you...”

Thirdly, I killed a mage lord behind a funeral home. I was severely wounded, but I managed to finish him off. He didn’t die immediately even as his waist was bisected by a blue flash, but when I used a purification spell to deflect his curse, the shock killed him.

The blue flash was a magic-based skill, but I could use it as holy power, being a paladin. It emitted white light instead of blue, but the power seemed unaffected.

“It was you... You killed them all. Do you think you can monopolize Siu by doing this, you woman?”

Thus four: I killed Siu’s work colleague who had been pressuring me. It was easy to kill him, a mere civilian who also held a ridiculous misunderstanding. I silenced him for spewing nonsense.

“If I knew you were this crazy, I would’ve dealt with you sooner... I kept you around to use his close ones as surrogates, and you pull this? Thanks for eliminating the competition, but this is crossing the line!”

Enraged, I mutilated him even further until the last of the male leads, the crown prince, found me.

****

Up to now, I had managed to kill them all, but I was worried about whether I could actually kill the crown prince. In this world, the crown prince is practically a god and invincible. It was convenient to think the world revolved around him.

But I couldn’t give up.

“Do you think doing this will earn his love? Really, a woman blinded by jealousy is too hideous. The woman who bore me was the same, you women are all cowardly and disgusting. Isn’t that right, Siu!”

The crown prince spewed even worse nonsense and then yelled at Siu, who was hiding behind him. Siu, realizing I had killed the male leads, was so shocked that he collapsed then and there. The crown prince then held Siu like a damsel in distress.

He’s really full of it.

“Dirk... why... we were just friends! Why!”

But I’m a woman now, why am I still called Dirk? It didn’t make sense, but I let it slide for now. Dealing with them was the priority.

“Why? Because it's... fun.”

Watching these gays die out was amusing. Of course, I’d rather not be misunderstood as trash. So, it was time to leave. I was sick of seeing gays!

I threw my sword to the ground and began to gather energy in my right arm using the internal power stored in my dantian. Using internal power was dangerous, but it was the only way to beat the crown prince. Unaware of what I was doing, the crown prince simply stared until he finally realized too late and charged at me.

But it was already too late.

The internal power accumulating in my fist exploded, sending a massive shockwave towards him. The crown prince, in horror, tried to deploy a defensive spell, but before it could activate, my attack engulfed him.

“Sccccrreeeeaaaaaach!”

As a result, the crown prince lay battered on the ground. Of course, my arm was destroyed too, but I didn’t feel the pain amidst the catharsis of it being finally over.

-Thud, thud

I approached him to finish the job, but someone blocked my way. It was Siu.

“Dirk... even if you loved me, you can’t win love this way!”

“Fuck off, shithead.”

Siu was still deluded. He was clearly insane.

Ignoring Siu, I stood over the fallen crown prince and placed my foot on his neck, intending to crush it. I channeled all my internal power into my rising foot.
