The sound of brakes screeching was the last thing Kim Joon-ho remembered. A blinding flash, a weightless tumble, and then—darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, he wasn’t lying on asphalt. He wasn’t in a hospital either. He was sprawled across cold stone, staring at a silver mirror propped against the wall.
At first, he thought it was some kind of hallucination. The face in the reflection was... wrong. Way too smooth. The jawline wasn’t square; it was delicate. The eyes were large and glittering, framed by ridiculously long lashes. His lips had a natural gloss that girls on social media would kill for.
"...The hell is this?" he croaked.
Joon-ho blinked. The face in the mirror blinked back.
"...Nope," he muttered. "No way that’s me."
The voice was higher. Softer. Pretty, even. His hands shot to his throat, then down to his chest—flat, thank God, but his shoulders were still narrow, his skin unnaturally fair.
Ding!
A glowing blue panel popped up in the air, startling him.
[ Welcome, Host! ]
[ You have awakened the Femboy System ]
[ Congratulations on your rebirth!]
[ Warning: Masculinity stat reduced to zero. ]
Joon-ho’s eye twitched. "Excuse me?"
Another message appeared.
[ Tutorial Quest: Apply lip gloss to gain your first stat boost. ]
[ Reward: +5 Agility, +10 Charm. ]
On cue, a small pouch appeared at his feet. Inside was a stick of glittery pink gloss.
He stared at it for a long moment.
"...You’ve got to be kidding me."
Before he could decide whether to throw the pouch into a fire, the heavy clang of armoured boots echoed down the hallway. Joon-ho turned— the very same moment, an entire squad of knights charged in, their swords drawn.
"There she is!" one of them shouted. "The runaway noble girl—capture her alive!"
"She!?" Joon-ho yelped. "I’m a dude!"
Nobody listened. The knights thundered closer, blades gleaming. His body moved on instinct, scrambling back—only to trip on the pouch and nearly fall flat.
Ding!
[ Tutorial Hint: Applying lip gloss will unlock combat evasion skills. ]
"Are you serious right now!?"
The knights closed in. With no options left, he reluctantly snatched the gloss, smearing it across his lips in a panic. The system chimed.
[ Agility +5! Charm +10! ]
[New Skill Acquired: Catwalk Step (Evasion Boost). ]
Suddenly his body felt lighter, quicker. As a sword swung toward him, his legs twisted on their own, slipping out of reach with a dancer’s grace. Another strike came, but his body twirled aside, skirt—wait, skirt!?—fluttering as he moved.
The knight captain’s blade froze mid-swing. His scarred face flushed bright red as Joon-ho stumbled back, lip gloss glittering under the torchlight.
"She’s... beautiful..." the man whispered.
"What!?" Joon-ho barked, but the words came out in a breathy, melodic tone. The knights froze, some red-faced, others fumbling their swords
Ding!
[ Passive Skill Activated: Femboy Aura. ]
[ All nearby targets suffer confusion... and attraction. ]
The other knights shuffled awkwardly, cheeks heating as their swords lowered.
Joon-ho’s heart sank. Not only was the system humiliating him—now it was trying to turn this squad of murder-happy knights into his fan club.
"...I’m doomed," he muttered..
Ding!
[ Passive Effect Activated: Allure. ]
[ Enemies suffer -20% combat effectiveness while staring at you. ]
Joon-ho’s eye twitched. This wasn’t just humiliation. This was survival—via femboy buffs.
Dodging another clumsy swing, he darted down the corridor, system panels flashing around him.
[ Quest : Survive for 5 minutes using Femboy Skills. ]
[ Reward: Unlock Character Class. ]
Joon-ho didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or throw himself out the nearest window. But one thing was painfully clear:
If he wanted to live in this insane world... he had to embrace being the prettiest "boy" alive.
