Chapter 1The Pervert Perk

Before transmigrating, the System let us pick skills. I sneezed, and between 'Might' and 'Beauty,' I chose 'Mutate'.

Just because I said the Demon Lord's feet were white and soft, he stopped going barefoot.

And I... I built my career on being a pervert.

* * *

I was chosen by the System along with two other girls. Before transmigrating, the System let us pick skills. Rosie picked 'Beauty,' Lily picked 'Might.' I was still hesitating when I accidentally sneezed and picked 'Mutate'.

Me: "...Can I reroll?"

System: "Rest assured, Host. Every skill is extremely practical. Do the Hosts have any other questions?"

Me: "First of all, I didn't do anything to any of you..."

Before I could finish, we were kicked into the book.

After a wave of dizziness, I slowly woke up.

Can anyone tell me why we're being strung up from the ceiling of a great hall?!!

A man, cold as frost and radiating evil, sat on the throne. Red robes, black hair unbound.

He looks just like the book's main villain, the Demon Lord Kaelen. Which means we're... we must be in Chapter 23. The Demon Lord picks his handmaidens, and we, as spies from the number one righteous sect, the Skyguard Sect, snuck in, got caught, and are being interrogated.

Mamma mia!! I remember this chapter. Everyone dies.

Rosie and Lily, hanging next to me, hadn't processed the plot yet. Kaelen gestured to his guards, and a guy with a bull's face stepped up and cracked a whip at us.

Rosie burst into tears: "Waaaaah."

Lily was defiant: "If you've got the guts, let me down and we'll fight one-on-one!"

Me: "Ahhh~ That's the stuff~"

Rosie: "..."

Lily: "..."

Bull-Face: "..."

Bull-Face silently took a step back.

I wanted to cry. I didn't mean to! But my skill is 'Mutate,' which sounds a lot like 'Pervert'!

Maybe Lily's challenge worked. Kaelen had us cut down. He walked toward us, his feet bare.

His voice was rough: "Since you dared to sneak into my Demon Palace, you must be prepared. The Skyguard Sect sent me three gifts. I'll be sure to kill you beautifully and send you back."

Lily whispered, "We have skills, right? Use them!"

Rosie went first. She "stumbled" and fell delicately into the Demon Lord's arms, ready to conquer him with 'Beauty'.

Kaelen just tossed her aside. "Feed her to the fish demons."

Lily charged, trying 'Might.' The next second, Kaelen had her by the throat. "Fertilizer."

I quietly asked the System: "What happens if I die?"

System: "You are already dead in the real world. If you die in the book, you will just... disappear. But if you complete the mission, reform the Demon Lord, and save the world, you will get a chance at rebirth."

Seeing me frozen, Kaelen looked down at me.

"Hmph. And what are you thinking?"

I trembled: "D-do I really have to say?"

"Say it, or I'll kill you right now."

"Your feet are... really white... and soft." I couldn't stop myself. "Sss... haah."
