My face was so grimy it was hard to tell if my hair was black or white.
Under the coat, my calves peeked out, and their smooth, sleek shape naturally drew attention. Most of my body was covered, but my build seemed to confuse people man or woman, they couldn't quite tell.
With my sharp elven hearing, I caught the whispers around me as I turned to Sohye.
"First things first, I need to buy some clothes that actually fit me."
I hated being a freeloader, but what choice did I have? I was practically a newborn in this world. And I couldn't keep wandering around in this oversized coat forever, could I?
"Hmm… Honestly, oppa, I don't think men's clothes in this world will suit you. We might need to look at women's clothes instead. Is that okay?"
Women's clothes? In my head, I figured even a simple white shirt and black pants would do the trick.
"Yeah, that's fine. Just make sure they're as masculine as possible."
"Hehe, leave it to me!"
Sohye's mischievous giggle made me a little uneasy, but I followed her lead anyway.
We walked for a few minutes until Sohye and Sojin stopped at a certain spot. I looked up at the building in front of us.
(How many floors is that?)
It was a towering structure, so tall I had to crane my neck to see the top.
As I stood there, gawking, Sohye and Sojin chuckled beside me.
"Don't just stare come on, this way!"
I followed them like I was under a spell.
A few more steps, and I was taking in the sights around me when suddenly, Sohye and Sojin slipped into a small, enclosed space. A dead end.
"Uh… come on in!"
Sojin noticed my hesitation and gave me a puzzled look.
"Wait, isn't that just an empty space? Why are we going in there?"
An *elevator*.
I'd never seen one, not in elven society, not even in the human cities I'd glimpsed beyond my village. Naturally, I had no idea what it was.
"Oh…"
Sohye and Sojin burst into giggles before each grabbed one of my arms and yanked me inside.
"Hey!"
I was startled, but what came next was even more shocking.
*Vrrrr—*
A strange sensation, like my body was floating.
I'd never felt anything like it. Wide-eyed, I glanced at Sojin for an explanation.
"If you're going to live here, you'd better get used to this. It's called an elevator a machine that takes you to high floors when stairs are too much of a hassle."
"Hehe, oppa, you're only allowed to look this clueless around us, okay?"
I half-listened to their teasing, still dazed by the sensation of rising.
*Ding*
A chime rang out, and the doors slid open automatically. I followed the sisters out, watching as they stopped at a door and placed a hand on what looked like a doorknob. Instead of turning it, Sojin just rested her hand there.
*Click*
A sound came from inside, like something unlocking.
"Welcome! This is our home."
Sohye and Sojin greeted me warmly as we stepped inside. For the first time in this world, I was entering someone else's house.
_____
"Sohye, I'm going to my room to pick out some clothes for Silian. Can you give him a tour of the place?"
"Got it! Okay, oppa, this is the living room… that's my room over there, and that's Sojin unnie's room."
"There's a storage room we don't really use, so we can clear it out for you to stay in. Don't worry, we'll handle the cleaning."
I followed Sohye's cheerful pointing as she showed me around. There was a balcony with a view of the city, and standing there, I really felt how high up we were.
The spacious living room led to a kitchen, a bathroom, Sohye's room, Sojin's room, and the storage room that would be mine. It was the perfect size for two women living together.
Looking around, I asked Sohye, "Do you live here alone, without your parents?"
"Yeah, our parents are famous hunters, so they're super busy."
*Got it.*
That meant it was just me, Sohye, and Sojin in this house.
*Not a bad setup at all.*
As I nodded in satisfaction, Sohye spoke up again.
"Okay, oppa, the bathroom's over there. You can wash up there. Oh, wait… you probably don't know how to use a bathroom, do you?"
She nodded to herself a few times, then said with determination, "Alright, oppa, I'll show you how it works. Watch and learn!"
With a stiff, almost formal posture, she marched into the bathroom connected to the living room. Turning back to me, she said, "First, can you take off your coat? It'll get wet otherwise."
Her head was bowed shyly, but I could see the spark of curiosity maybe even desire in her eyes.
(So, this world really does reverse gender roles and desires. That reaction… it's not something you'd see from a typical woman. It's more like a guy's response.)
Noticing my brief silence, Sohye quickly added, "Oh! If I offended you, I'm sorry! It's just that in our world, we prefer to teach things hands-on…"
"No, it's fine. I wasn't offended. Just lost in thought for a second."
With that, I shrugged off the coat in one smooth motion.
And then I saw it.
The flicker of lust in her eyes.
I'd always trusted my eyes, especially when it came to spotting desire. Back in elven society, I'd noticed it between two elves who claimed to be "just friends." The way their eyes lit up with subtle longing gave them away, and sure enough, they were a couple by the next time I saw them.
Sohye was trying not to stare, but her gaze lingered far longer than it avoided me.
"Sohye?"
I called her name, hiding my amusement as I snapped her out of her trance.
"Oh! Uh, yes, oppa, right…"
Still stammering, she clearly hadn't recovered. I opened the bathroom door, stepping inside.
"Whoa…"
White tiles, white walls, soft lighting, and some kind of chair-like thing I'd never seen before, plus something mounted on the wall. Above it, a mirror reflected my image.
My upper body was a mix of pale skin and dark grime, my face mostly hidden by a mess of grayish hair and a beard.
(This is me right now?)
Elven mirrors existed, but they were nowhere near this clear. This was the first time I'd seen myself so vividly.
As I stared, Sohye began explaining, "Okay, oppa, this is the toilet… and that's the sink…"
She patiently pointed out each fixture, but I was only half-listening, my attention drawn to her instead.
Being Sojin's younger sister, she had a strikingly pretty face with a soft, puppy-like charm that made you want to protect her. Her brown hair fell to her waist, but it couldn't hide her curves. Her slim waist flared out into wide hips, and below that… a perfectly rounded backside.
Every time she bent forward slightly, sticking her hips out, it was like she was begging for attention. I couldn't help but notice she was the proud owner of an impressive rear.
(Sojin's got the chest, and Sohye's got the hips, huh?)
As I stole glances at her, I felt a familiar stirring below, my body clearly protesting its confinement.
"And this is… uh, oppa, are you listening?"
"Oh, yeah, I'm listening. That's the shower, right?"
To hide my growing excitement, I stepped a little closer to her.
"Eek!"
Sohye flinched at the slight contact, her face flushing red as she hurriedly shut the door and bolted out.
I chuckled to myself, then stripped off the rest of my clothes, including my underwear.
*Pop!*
My manhood sprang free, stretching as if celebrating its freedom. I looked at it with pride. (You're gonna see a lot of action in this world, buddy. Time to step up your game.)
I turned on the shower, following Sohye's instructions.
*Click—*
At first, cold water poured out, but it gradually warmed.
"Oh…!"
Back in my world, I'd always washed with cold water scooped from a bucket. Hot or cold, it never mattered much, but now, standing under this warm stream, I let my thoughts wander.
(I'm still far from adjusting to this world… but why was I brought here?)
That blue gate had appeared out of nowhere, pulling me from the brink of death into this world.
(No one here has mentioned traveling to other worlds through dungeons, so I'm probably safe for now…)
But who knew when that gate might reappear and drag me back to a world where Half-Elves were slaves, toiling with pickaxes? Compared to that, standing here under hot water, washing away the grime this was paradise.
As I scrubbed, the water running off me turned black. But with every rinse, my skin grew paler, revealing the smooth, fair complexion beneath.
After about twenty minutes of scrubbing, I was a new man. My skin gleamed, my hair nce a mix of black and white now shone pure white, like an angel resting on a cloud.
Using the razor Sohye had left, I faced the mirror and began shaving my beard.
*Scrape, scrape*
As the white whiskers fell away, my jawline emerged, sharp and defined. I trimmed the last bits of stubble from my upper lip, then ran a hand through my hair, pushing it back.
A perfect face stared back at me.
My once-soft eyes now had a sharper edge, giving me a more captivating presence. My high cheekbones and red lips hidden for so long under that beard were striking. Even I could tell I'd gotten a lot better-looking since childhood.
Like any modern person, I ran a hand along my jaw, admiring the clean lines in the mirror.
"Well, damn, you're a handsome one," I said with a satisfied nod.
Still, my reflection felt unfamiliar. I shook my head, letting a few strands of hair fall naturally, adding a touch of effortless charm.
Confirming I was truly clean, I wondered what to do next when—
"Oppa, are you done?"
Sohye's voice came just as the shower's noise stopped, like she'd been waiting.
"Yeah, all done."
"Here, use this to dry off."
*Creak*
A hand slipped through a small crack in the door, holding a towel. Feeling a playful urge, I reached out, lightly brushing her hand as I took it.
"Thanks."
She flinched, yanking her hand back and slamming the door shut. *Adorable.*
She probably couldn't help imagining the naked guy on the other side of the door.
Then I heard her voice from outside.
"Unnie! I'm heading out!"
The sound of the front door closing followed.
(Did Sohye just leave?)
I dried off quickly, wrapping the towel around my waist before stepping out of the bathroom. The cool air of the living room hit me as I glanced around. Sohye was gone.
But I sensed movement from Sojin's room.
(Probably picking out clothes for me.)
I could've just lounged on the couch, but… this was a gender-reversed world.
Right now, I was standing in the living room with nothing but a towel covering my privates. In my old world, this would be like a stunning woman lounging around in just a bra and a towel.
The thought sent a surge of confidence through me. (Time for a little special service.)
I crept toward Sojin's room and—
*Click*
Yanked the door open.
"Sojin, about the clothes"
"…"
We both froze.
Sojin dropped the clothes she was holding, her eyes locking onto my face. They darted downward briefly before snapping back up.
She looked like she wanted to ask, "Who are you?" My transformation was that drastic. But it wasn't just my face her gaze lingered on my chiseled muscles, a rarity in this world.
I was just as speechless.
Below her neck, there was… nothing. Well, almost nothing. Just an E-cup bra barely containing an impressive valley.
Her pale skin and those impossibly large assets held my gaze, even though I knew it was rude.
*Gulp*
The loud sound of swallowing echoed.
We both did it.
Staring at her swaying curves, I stepped into her room without waiting for permission.
