Chapter 2 – Cursed Hero (2)
My name is Jinwoo Lee.
An ordinary salaryman living in Korea. He certainly was like that until a month ago.
Even now that I think about it, I couldn’t understand the English sentence.
As usual, the moment I clicked on the icon on the screen to play Pure Love Fantasy, everything became tangled up.
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared from the monitor, and I suddenly lost consciousness.
And when I opened my eyes again, I was possessed by the world of pure love fantasy.
And that too, in the body of ‘Ion Reyhard’, the main character who completed the harem ending.
“Ion, I’m ready.”
I turned my head to hear a voice as soft as the spring sunlight, and the sight of Demeter, fully prepared to go out, caught my eye.
The outstanding beauty that never goes away no matter where you put it,
Attractive brown hair, long enough to reach just above the hips;
A white mermaid dress that highlights the rich body lines and exposure of both shoulders.
She was truly a goddess.
“Let’s go.”
At the entrance, Demeter, wearing white shoes, smiled softly at me.
She made her heart flutter even when she saw it in low-quality graphics, but now that she was able to see her in person, her off-white color was more beautiful than any other woman in real life.
“Uh, okay…”
I gave a low answer and slowly moved my still leg.
When I came right next to her, Demeter casually held my hand as always.
The warmth of Demeter, felt from her beautiful hands, caressed my body warmly.
“Shall we go now?”
“Yes.”
The beautiful wife I had somehow found nodded her head politely.
So we left the cabin with our hands linked.
As the scent of the Goddess of Fertility spread through our closely pressed bodies, I naturally remembered the act of pleasure I had performed in bed last night.
Some time has passed since I became Ion.
At first I was very confused. I thought I was dreaming. But no matter how many days and nights passed, I never woke up from this lucid dream.
There is no means of returning to the original world. Now I have to live here as Ion.
It took quite some time to reach that inevitable conclusion.
The good news is that the background I was possessed in was the world after the ending.
This is a time when Aeon and the goddesses have defeated the Demon King and the world has become peaceful.
Maybe that’s why I haven’t had any dangerous battles or adventures during my time as Aeon.
It was a life where all he had to do was be quietly admired by everyone as a hero who saved the world.
Living in Ion’s body was surprisingly not difficult.
The memories of the real Ion remained intact in this body, and the various knowledge I gained while playing Pure Love Fantasy also helped me adapt.
Thanks to this, no one doubted my identity.
I felt like I could have a smooth second life as long as I behaved well.
If only you hadn’t said that a while ago…
“Hero! “Lord Demeter!”
When Demeter and I appeared at a private house, the residents who were doing their own thing looked at us with respect and admiration.
Several months had already passed since Demeter settled here, but their cheers still showed no signs of abating.
Demeter lightly waved her hand at the residents who looked up to her.
This is the Lepothesia Forest located in the northwest of the Crea continent.
As Demeter’s middle name refers to, it was a forest presided over by Demeter, the goddess of abundance.
Although it is now a peaceful world called the Holy Age, the scars left by the Great War of Seongak still remain in this world.
The goddesses who descended from heaven did not spare any effort they could to heal the wounded world even after the war ended.
Each of them ruled their respective areas and were still contributing to the prosperity and development of the world.
Because of that, after the honeymoon, her wives did not have much time to spend a proper honeymoon with me.
So, I moved around the jurisdictions of my wives and took turns living a married life with them.
“Demeter~!”
As we were walking side by side, attracting the attention of the forest residents, a girl approached us.
To be exact, it was not in front of us, but in front of Demeter.
“I made this to give to Demeter!”
The girl spread her porcelain hands and proudly showed off something of hers.
A cute hairpin that looked like it was made of real flowers was resting on the small palm.
“Hey, kid! Give something like that to the goddess… !”
“Thank you very much.”
As the woman, believed to be the girl’s mother, tried to restrain her daughter from her panic, Demeter expressed her gratitude and handed over the girl’s flower hairpin.
Then the girl’s mother looked surprised and dumbfounded.
“Are you doing it?!”
“You made it for me yourself, of course you should, right?”
When Demeter said this with her kind smile, the girl jumped up and down on the spot, unable to control her joy.
The girl’s mother, who did not know this, urged her to remain calm in front of her goddess.
“How about this… ?”
Demeter asked, looking in my direction rather than the girl, with her flower hairpin adorning her bangs.
“Matches well.”
“Is that so? Thank god…”
Demeter blushed slightly and avoided her gaze, looking slightly embarrassed.
She could not have been a woman who stimulated a man’s love from her appearance to her every gesture.
But still, why do I…
“Thank you so much for the wonderful gift.”
Demeter, who had received an unexpected gift, smiled like sunshine at her child.
Then the girl could not hide her proud face, and the girl’s mother could not lift her head from the overwhelming kindness of her goddess.
Demeter waved her hand in greeting to her girl and then she began her walk with me again.
It was no exaggeration to say that Demeter’s popularity here in the Lepothesia Forest surpassed that of her days as a warrior.
If it was natural, it was natural.
In the past, when the Great War was in full swing, this forest was invaded by the Demon King’s army and once became a sea of fire.
Everything turned to ashes, and many people who had lived in the forest for generations lost their homes.
At a time when no one thought that this forest could be revived, Demeter reached out in the midst of despair.
Demeter had no doubt that if everyone worked together, they could revive the forest.
And her belief soon came true.
As Demeter exercised her powers as the Goddess of Fertility, new, green leaves began to sprout in her dead forest.
And soon those leaves became the bushes that make up nature, richly coloring the once ruined land.
The forest has become a vast forest that is much more magnificent than before it was destroyed.
The forest’s inhabitants, having regained her homeland, gave the forest the name of Demeter, so as not to forget her grace.
This is how the name ‘Lepothesia Great Forest’ and the nickname of Demeter, ‘Guardian of Mother Nature’, were created.
“It’s been a while so I’m a little nervous.”
Demeter, who had arrived at her destination and was holding her favorite bow in her hand, suddenly said those words.
Now we have passed through a private house and arrived at an archery site in a quiet forest. It was a private archery area created just for the goddess Demeter.
Despite her slender appearance, Demeter was an excellent archer.
If you knew the exact location, you could accurately hit a target even 10 miles away.
During the vocal competition, he took full advantage of his incredible accuracy and showed off his outstanding performance alongside the hero Ion Reihard.
Piyung~!
The sound of a sharp arrowhead cutting through the wind was heard.
The arrow escaped Demeter’s fingertips and hit the exact center of the target in the distance.
It was an excellent workmanship that left no room for objection.
“As expected, it’s amazing.”
I clapped and praised Demeter, whose skills from the past had not rusted.
Then Demeter smiled happily, brushing her brown hair that sparkled in the sunlight.
“Why don’t we try Ion too?”
“Me too?”
“I wanted to practice together for the first time in a long time. “Just like the old days.”
I hesitated for a moment at Demeter’s unexpected invitation, but when I saw Demeter’s expectant face, it was difficult to refuse.
In the end, I suddenly stood next to Demeter with my bow and arrows.
Piyung~!
The arrow I shot landed quite far from the exact center of the target. As expected, archery was not easy.
Jinwoo Lee’s soul was contained in the body of the hero Ion Reyhard, so even if he knew how to shoot him in the head, it was difficult to put it into action.
“… Hmm, I guess my skills are a little rusty.”
“Never mind. Ion’s main weapon was originally a sword, right?”
As I scratched my head and smiled bitterly, Demeter immediately came to my aid.
Certainly, as Demeter said, Ion’s main weapon was a sword. However, with the spirit of a celebrity man named Jin-Woo Lee, even that would probably be difficult to handle.
In my future life as Aeon, I had no choice but to sincerely hope that I would not have to take up arms as much as possible.
Even after I gave up after shooting one shot, Demeter continued to focus on archery.
All of the arrows Demeter shot struck the center of the target.
Demeter’s skill with a bow was something he already knew through his memories and knowledge, but when he saw it in person, it was truly a skill that put one off.
It seemed like I now knew why the Demon King’s army was so defeated by Demeter’s long-distance shooting during the Battle of the Holy Music.
Demeter, who was shooting an arrow with a neat posture while staring at the target, had a different charm than usual.
The blue eyes, which had always been filled with kindness, took on a serious glow, making the person seem different for some reason.
It was difficult to take my eyes off the large breasts that reflexively shook each time the bow was fired and the innocent hips hidden by a thin dress.
“Ion.”
It was no use keeping an eye on Demeter with unhealthy eyes, so I grabbed the bow and arrow again and was aiming at the target when Demeter suddenly called my name.
“What’s the matter?”
“What Ion asked me to do last time… “It’s okay to do it.”
Piyut!
I was so startled for a moment that I accidentally let go of the bowstring.
The arrow left my hand and flew to the wrong place, but I didn’t pay any attention to it and immediately turned my head to check on Demeter.
“What did you just say… ?”
I thought I heard it wrong. It was definitely like that.
What I asked for last time… There was no way Demeter could have forgotten what it was.
But still, Demeter opened her mouth with a serious expression.
“Whatever you want me to do, I will do.”
Demeter slowly lowered her bow and spoke in a determined voice as if she had made up her mind.
My whole body trembled at the unexpected and shocking declaration.
