18 Chapter 17: A Healthy Young Man
▯Ezra | Ra | Day 9 | Former Orcs Mine, Unnamed Settlement
Fingers. Hands. Arms. Legs. Feet.
It's a gloomy day. Yet here I am giving myself a medical examination. Yet here I am giving myself a medical masturbation. Turns out I have a porn addiction. There's a lot to be surprised about, but what's most surprising is the fact that I wasn't surprised.
It's an odd day to be examining myself so closely. Trust me, I'd know.
You gotta do what you gotta do. It's that simple grain of logic that keeps my brain functioning everyday.
Ha. I need a damn drink.
I lifted myself off the ground. The first thing that came into view were two hands and thankfully ten fingers. They were longer, but so were my arms and legs.
Should I check my cock?
I didn't want to mention the sharp, black fingernails on both of my hands, but dammit, I just did.
Don't worry, it's just puberty. We'll all grow out of it at some point.
Ah, how tall am I now?
The distance between my face and the ground has increased by quite a bit. I almost forgot what it felt like to be tall. I've gotten rid of my child-like height and became an adult.
Oh how I missed it. This, this incredible height. The height of an adult, I missed it so much that I don't even remember missing it.
I grabbed my right arm. It was a bit sudden but this hand that had grabbed it immediately felt the refined muscles of a bicep. Two words: Refined and Muscles. My back almost split open to make room for my spasming spine. Those words are just too succulent. I probably shouldn't say them anymore.
Look at this. Come, no, just come look...…
And I really did turn to look. There I spotted black markings that resembled tattoos trailing down both of my arms until they reached my hands. They didn't seem to have any meaning. They sure as hell looked nice though. Aha. I'm sUch a baDass, maN.
It's a weird feeling. Overall, just imagine it. The entire thing. Just imagine your muscles suddenly becoming more defined—Your eyesight, hearing, and smell becoming more enhanced. Hell, I can hear the rain outside as if I'm actually out there getting soaked to death.
Not to mention the strength. My senses. It's wild, I'm going crazy, I'm gonna cum.
You'd have no choice but to call it insane.
If you were to try and process it by shoving it directly into your brain, then your mind would orgasm all over the place.
Orgasm. Yes. That's another word for exploding. All of that grayish-white liquid inside your head would explode everywhere. Things would get messy. Blegh. You're gonna have a rough time cleaning that up.
Be positive though. If wiping a bit of semen killed you, I'd be dead ten times over.
Then, a clear system notification popped up.
[The System <<Subclass >> Function Has Now Been Unlocked!]
[By Opening Up Your <<Personal >> Status, You Now Have The Option To Select A Subclass!]
By getting hit by truck-kun, I also have the option of getting isekaied. There's a lot of options but surprisingly few to choose from. It can't be helped with limitations. Might as well just resign yourself to wearing panties for the rest of your life.
Right. I can get a subclass now. It's become a wonderful situation, but I'll save that for later. For now though, there's a troubling issue I need to address as soon as possible.
My thoughts...….
Yes mommy. My thoughts. One thought at a time. The world was moving slowly. My body couldn't keep up with the speed of my thoughts. It's like an on and off situation where I can move perfectly fine but then the world suddenly slows down when I think too deeply.
I don't remember taking any drugs...…
I'll try to speak. Let's see what happens when I speak—
"Fuuuuuuuuck Meeeeeeeeeeee~"
I see. I understand. It's understandable.
Moving on now. I don't want to deal with this anymore, so I'll let whatever this is straighten itself out. If it doesn't straighten itself out, you owe this king a make-out session.
Status.
I struck a pose. Whenever you say this word, it's a rule that you have to strike a pose for the sake of all the protagonists out there. If you don't it's disrespectful. Go cosplay as the elf queen in Kuroinu and see what I'll do to you.

Ah. That's some good shit right there.
I became a Hobgoblin. Apparently a rare species, and—Oh…..!
Oh my. Oh dear. Is that me...….?
On a large panel in my system interface, an image of myself in real time was standing there.
What a handsome fellow. Even if I'm not into men, I must admit that that's a handsome fellow right there.
I was tempted to lick the screen.
So I became level 1 again, huh. That's nice. My stats have risen so high that my eyes might bulge out of their sockets. I need someone to help keep my eyes in their sockets. I'll pay you back never.
...…I see.
So that's how it is. I think I see where the problem is now. The issue with my speed of thought. I see it. The new skills I've gotten as a Hobgoblin, plus the intelligence stat that has risen by that much in such a short time.
If my thoughts were comparable to an old dial-up computer when I was a goblin, then now, it'd have to be a windows 11 pro desktop. Not only that, but the amount of creases on my brain has multiplied so much that I can now recall vivid memories of my childhood.
Is this really a thing? I don't remember something like this being a thing...…
The enhancements to my mental capabilities are really shocking me to the prostate.
What's next...
Level 25 Shadow Lord class. I didn't even know there was a level. If it's level 25 now, then it might go up by increments of 25 upon each evolution into the next rank. If that's the case, then.....right. The only new personal skill I've received. Dominators Touch.
So if I keep ranking up, then I'll eventually reach perfection at level 100. What comes after Shadow Lord, I don't know. If I were to guess, this is probably a class that some anime character has. It's plenty powerful already. That's for damn sure.
Hm. Now I wanna test it out.
I lifted my hand. The information on how to use the skill was ingrained automatically. And without saying a word, a large rock that sat not too far from me began to tremble.
Then, surrendering to my extremely divine and undefiable will, the strangely shaped rock rose into the air. It was a sudden movement. Like a baseball thrown by the greatest pitcher—it zipped toward my hand.
—Tak
I caught it. No, it caught me. You couldn't describe it in any other way. The palm of my hand was the only place in the world for that rock to be. At least, that's how it felt.
"Mm. Good boy."
"Uh…...Ezra…..I-Is that you....?"
A cautious voice came from behind. Or more specifically, Kanami-tan's voice but it sounded different. I had already felt her presence beforehand, so no surprise butt-sex this time.
Sorry fellas.
"You're up, Kanami. Of course it's me. Oh my, don't tell me. Were you expecting someone else?"
"No, I just wasn't sure if it was you...! I mean, you've changed so much—Ah, you're face, there's no way I could forget it..... You've become a lot taller too, wow~ I knew something felt weird yesterday. It was strange. Then I woke up and also changed a lot too, see...?"
"Mm. Your appearance has indeed changed. In a lot of areas, yup. There's a lot I like about those changes. I didn't think you'd look so different after evolving, but you've blown me away. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself. I can't wait to eat you."
She stared at me with widened eyes as her face flushed a deep red.
"W-what, you…..E-eat…..?"
"Correct, beloved. This is what happens when man and woman are both attractive species. It's only natural to partake in each other. Now listen closely because this is important. It's just like a meal. You get served appetizers to stimulate your pallet, then you move on to the main course. Desert is only consumed after your cravings have been satisfied. You can enjoy that much at your leisure. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
".....Uh, I'm not sure, but I think you've just said something completely obscene without any embarrassment?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, so why should I drop to the ground and cover my face in embarrassment. That feeling only arises in one's chest when they have something to feel ashamed of. That primitive feeling doesn't erupt inside noble creatures like myself."
"So you really don't have any shame..."
She sighed. She went from being flustered to merely staring blankly at me.
Ha….. Such a short span of time. It's saddening that only I was blessed with the ability to direct people's emotions. Am I really cursed?
I looked at her and spoke.
"What about the others? You were sleeping next to them, right? Have they evolved as well?"
"Come to think of it….yea, I saw a few of the girls before I rushed over here to find you. Like you said, I'm guessing they also 'evolved', or something….….."
"That's great news. I'm delighted that you all managed to—"
Someone appeared before I could finish. No, there were seven other bodies walking out from the back of the cave.
"...And here they are. Wow. Everyone really did evolve, huh. The changes in your appearances are, hm, how should I put it...really unexpected....."
I'm not lying. I can hardly believe my royal eyes. As far as I'm aware, the changes weren't supposed to be this drastic.
Did something happen? Did I change something?
Well, if I were to pinpoint the cause of this perverted situation, then I'd have to link it to my [Domination] skill that I possessed as a goblin and still possess even now. It allows me to affect those who have been subordinated or those who freely submit to me.
Now the range of those 'affects', I can't say for sure. But from what I'm seeing at the moment, it can only be beneficial.
—It's not my fault that boner-kun has a mind of his own.
The now evolved Rin came up and lowered her back to greet me before steadily meeting my gaze. Her eyes were sharp. She spoke in an airy tone that had a bit of coldness backing it.
"Greetings, sir. Are you doing well today? I see that you've become different as well."
Her skin was pale. Not just any ordinary pale either, but white as printer paper.
She is a Hobgoblin, right?
I guess she's a variant of some kind. Hm, hm. Good for you.
"Nice to see you, Rin-chan. You've evolved splendidly."
As a matter of fact, each of them did. I admired their appearances while greeting every one of them. The difference was too vast.
I know that Hobgoblins look significantly better than goblins, but this isn't how I remember it at all. Hell, even when they were goblins, they still didn't look half as bad as I thought they would.
Damn. It's either my perception has become severely fucked, or I gradually started 'affecting' them with my skill the moment they became my subordinates. I haven't seen the other goblin females back at the original cave in a while, so I can't say much.
Based on my memories though, there definitely is a difference.
Well, I'm now surrounded by beautiful girls of various shapes and sizes who look to be in their mid-late teens.
If this isn't the dream of a healthy, ordinary lad, I don't know what is.
If you deny this fact, I'll have no choice but to inspect your rear hole.
I dare you to deny it.
