Scattered toilet paper.
It's either pure white… or carrying the proud mark of a menstrual sacrifice.
"Damn this body."
He stepped into a bathroom so luxurious it could host a small banquet.
And there she was.
A girl with long, flowing blue hair that looked like it belonged on a fashion runway.
Her violet eyes matched perfectly, a painter's dream of symmetry…
If only her flushed face and the spiderweb cracks spreading across the walls didn't ruin the picture.
You can already imagine the variety of expressions on a man's face—
Too bad he's stuck in a woman's body, experiencing her first period.
"Give me back my body!"
Sorry, kid. Too late for that. Now you get to enjoy the full starter pack of advertisements and trials for the finest sanitary pads on the market.
"Impossible…"
If it's impossible, then why is it happening right now?
Inside one of those ridiculously luxurious bathrooms—you know, the kind where you could actually host a dinner party—we return to the basics.
Toilet paper: either blindingly white…
Or proudly carrying a fresh coat of blood, like an unpaid ad screaming, "This body is ready for fertilization."
"Noooooo!"
Lauren Phillip..once a proud man...was now tormented by exactly five recurring nightmares: naked men chasing him down.
He could either choose not to sleep,
or sleep only to dream of himself in maid outfits, nurse uniforms, and—God help him—cat ears and bunny ears at the same time.
The alternative? Stay awake until exhaustion knocks him out… only to fall into even worse dreams.
For twenty whole days, Lorian endured this nightmare-fueled hell aboard a military airship headed toward the Imperial Magic Guardian Academy.
Soaring a full kilometer above the ground, complete with turbulence, altitude sickness, and his own paralyzing fear of heights, the journey was… let's just say, vomit-inducing.
And now, the final nail in the coffin of his manly pride...
the humiliating destruction dealt by his very first period, despite having lived his entire past life as a respectable man.
Lauren Phillip had now, without a shadow of doubt, become a full-fledged girl—
after spending twenty miserable days in this exhausting torment.
"When will this suffering end…"
You could see him looking sick, tired, regretful of his very existence.
But now?
Now he was holding a bag of sanitary pads… high-quality ones, too.
Perfectly branded. Marketed for teenagers.
Inside the walls of that luxurious bathroom, you can feel the pain of your lower body.
and with it, you can feel miserable.
Lorien Philip carefully placed the sanitary pad exactly according to the instructions on the box, his face burning with shame. Every step felt like a tiny public execution.
Making his way back to his room, he tried to act normal—but normal was a very relative term right now.
As he passed other students in the hallway, they greeted him warmly… but not as Lorien Philip, the former man. No, they were smiling at him as Elinor.
"Good morning, Eleanor!"
He waved awkwardly, mumbling something that probably sounded like a mix between "good morning" and "why me?"
Each greeting made his cheeks flush hotter than the midday sun. He couldn't decide whether to be embarrassed, furious, or just laugh at the absurdity of it all.
Somehow, despite his humiliation, he kept walking. One step at a time, bag in hand,
Twenty full days spent on a warship airship, equipped with every conceivable type of living arrangement. The girls' dorm was the largest and most luxurious, while the boys' dorm lagged far behind in every single standard.
If you calculated it purely as Eleanor, without emotions, the advantages of being a girl here were enormous. She could easily make up for the emotional deficiencies… but…
"He's gone… he's gone."
Yes, the younger brother had left, taking the rest with him.
On a more personal, emotional level, the situation had become intensely private. Lorien found himself thinking: if he were still a man, living with dignity might have been easier than enduring this…
Now, unable to walk properly due to the hellish pain of his first period, every step was a fresh reminder of the inferno raging inside him.
They were just an hour away from landing in one of the most conspiracy-heavy places in life…
The academy was finally in sight, and they had arrived.
On the very first day, Lorien woke up on his luxurious bed after his laptop had exploded, feeling closer to mental incineration than anything else.
"Password, please."
"Damn the editor."
At least the newly reassigned password allowed him to keep saying this until sunset…
As soon as he entered his room, he tossed the old sanitary pad straight into the trash. Definitely not back in the bathroom where the other girls could see it. Some shred of pride as a former man still remained.
"Cursed period."
He had already been transferred here, and he would have to adapt… but after surviving the nightmares, this was by far the hardest challenge.
{System Message: Heroine's System detected. You are approaching the Academy. Activating system…}
{Name: Eleanor Mathioth}
{Gender: Female}
{Class: Magical Combat Fairy}
{Mental State: Angry}
{Abilities: Deadly Flower Cannon}
{Dark Status: Active}
Opening the status page floating in front of him, he squinted at the official-looking details:
{Eleanor Mathioth | Female | Magical Combat Fairy | Angry | Deadly Flower Cannon | Dark Status: Active}
"Fantastic," he muttered. "From a calm, normal guy to a furious, magical teenage girl… what a smooth transition."
Elinor Mathioth was the extremely favored heroine of his college roommate, Milosh, who had caused his death with the laptop explosion.
Far from all the delirium you could imagine left and right, Elinor is a heroine who carries strength, talent, family, and beauty—all of them exceptional.
Her mother was a strict war general who decided to send her only daughter to the nest of rising talents… the Guardians Academy… the academy where the main events of his novel take place over the course of three full years.
It tells of traditional tropes such as demons invading the human world, but humans, on the brink of extinction, discovered magical power and mana…
To launch a counterattack and restore balance to the world.
In this world, chaos naturally gives girls a higher and stronger affinity than ordinary boys.
This gives these girls greater and stronger authority, yet there were still many truly powerful men…
But they certainly do not outshine people.
All of this, precisely…
Let us write:
"Let us write here… important note… never fall for the hero of the story."
The hero is served by all the heroines…
"Isn't it natural for girls to be attracted to strong men?"
But he is a man, and even if in his heart he is not affected, even if he is, he would rather die… that is the better fate.
He does not want to ever end up in the hero's bed.
"And do not attract attention…"
Even though, as a heroine, it is expected that you will receive a high rank, especially Elinor, who got second place after the hero, who was certainly first…
And then the rest of the harem members…
So things can continue as expected, but you will remain low-profile, and when life ends, despite the world's destruction, the hero, although broken, is strong and can save humanity.
The reason for Elinor's death is that she sacrificed herself for the hero… If only he could become strong enough to crush all dangers, he could live a quiet, unmarried life.
"And in the end… this is my story's world, so let's enjoy life in a fantasy realm."
A thought in the goal…
I was called to war and chose to fight under the blanket in bed—truly the greatest of all wars.
An hour passed like a fog…
The gates opened, and all the students lined up in rows under the command of a lady wearing a short skirt and a tight military uniform.
"My dear cubs, please check your belongings before departure… You have fifteen minutes before the station doors open. Good luck!"
"Damn, this is boring. Why do girls need all this stuff…"
he muttered to himself.
He had woken up in the morning to find these heavy loads…
"A full bag of makeup… Should I even read about pore opening now… this container looks decent."
For the entire hour, he tried to convince himself to wait while carrying it.
The bags would be collected and delivered to the rooms at the massive gates of the academy.
After a few minutes, the station opened, and everyone began filing out in rows… On the other sides, you could see other stations releasing their students as well.
"I need to hurry… don't want to be stuck in the long baggage line,"
he muttered to himself.
"Life is really tough."
Following the instructions on the signs… but because the lines were so strict, he had to wait until everyone was gathered at the academy gate for entry.
{Female Hero System activated…
Update received}
{Solo Female Hero System}
{Main Objective: Prevent the male protagonist from claiming the other heroines; he must be satisfied with only one heroine…}
{Reward: Return to your male body… plus enough money for the rest of your life}
{Failure: Your soul will shatter into the void…}
Suddenly, the protagonist passed right in front of her. Their eyes met for a split second.
