I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World

▶[You have (1) unchecked notification!]

The notification window flickered persistently before me as though beckoning me to engage with it.

Click─!

I clicked on the notification window with slight reluctance, and a new message materialized.

▶[Sextaterus has been unlocked!!]

▶[You may now view the Sextaterus of individuals with whom you've had sexual relations among the gallery users!!]

Whoosh─!

Suddenly, the world around me vanished.

“….?”

It was no joke; as I briefly closed and reopened my eyes, the room I had occupied moments earlier had disappeared, replaced by an infinite black void.

Yet it was not chilling, perhaps due to the Milky Way sprawled across it or because the void itself radiated a comforting warmth.

Despite the bewildering occurrence, I felt no fear.

On the contrary, when I first beheld this stellar ocean, I found this expanse breathtakingly beautiful.

Tap-tap─

While absorbed in the vista, I detected the sound of footsteps approaching from behind.

I turned to see a woman with her hands resting on her abdomen, inclining her head in a gentle salutation.

“Welcome, Ian-nim!”

She did not disclose her identity, but the divine aura she exuded and her vaguely familiar visage allowed me to infer who she might be.

“I’ve been awaiting your arrival for a long time.♪”

Thump-thump—!

As the goddess leisurely raised her head to reveal her countenance, my heart thrummed intensely.

It was evident to me that the goddess statues enshrined in churches failed to capture even a fraction of her splendor.

Throughout my time at the academy, I had encountered numerous beautiful women, including Evelyn, but the deity before me was in a league of her own.

Her immaculate white skin, obsidian eyes that seemed to house entire galaxies, and cherry blossom-tinted tresses cascaded down to her waist.

True to her title as the goddess of love, she possessed a beauty that could ensnare any heart.

And it wasn’t just her beauty…

Her figure was also…..

“….!!”

Thankfully, I regained my composure before my thoughts could transgress any further.

Swish─

Feeling that disrespectful thoughts might arise if I continued to look at her, I naturally bowed my head to avoid her gaze.

“…Greetings, Goddess.”

“Oh? Ian-nim, you don’t need to bow to me. I’d rather you looked at me proudly!”

Honestly, I wasn’t sure I could avoid looking at her if I lifted my head…

But I lacked the audacity to defy the words of the goddess.

“…Understood.”

As I lifted my head, I sensed a sacredness, not of holiness (聖) but of sexuality (性), emanating from the body parts I tried to ignore.

…I really couldn’t help it.

My gaze roamed uncontrollably, especially since the goddess was clad in thin clothes that nearly revealed her skin.

But, fortunately, or unfortunately, crucial areas like her nipples or genitals were just barely concealed.

“Hehehe! As expected, my eyes were not mistaken. It’s amazing how you can look at my body like this from the very beginning!”

“I’m sorry!!”

I immediately bowed again and apologized.

Damn.

Despite my best efforts to look away, it seemed she had noticed.

“Hehehe. I told you you don’t need to bow. I dressed like this for you to see. Do you like it?”

“…Yes?”

Before I could even grasp the meaning of her words, the goddess went on with a somewhat suggestive smile.

“Let’s start with an introduction. I am Elise Whitefranc, the goddess who rules over this world.”

I had been almost certain, but hearing it directly from the goddess herself stirred an indescribable emotion within me.

To meet the goddess whom even the saintess could only hear the voice of!

“I have invited you, Ian-nim, to this place because you are the only one who can save this world!”

At that moment, I clenched my fist and inwardly exclaimed.

‘Fuck yeah!’

I could surmise the rest of the story without needing to hear it.

After all, I had read plenty of novels of this kind!

An utterly ordinary man was chosen by a goddess, gained incredible abilities, defeated villains, and became a hero.

“At this moment, a great threat exists in this world. The name of this threat is ‘Fragment of the End’. A long time ago, the great father defeated the End, but the ‘Fragment of the End’, born simultaneously, still wanders various worlds, trying to regain its power.”

As expected, a typical introduction flowed from the goddess’s mouth.

Unable to resist such a development, I confidently spoke to the goddess.

“Understood. Leave it to me! I will… defeat the Fragment of the End!”

“…Huh? Defeat it? No, no! There’s no need for you, Ian-nim, to fight. You see, I, Elise, am a rather strong goddess who has inherited the blood of the great father. I can handle the ‘Fragment of the End’, or even the ‘End’ itself!”

“…?”

I suddenly could no longer understand.

If she could solve everything by herself, why had she called me?

“Hehe, saving the world doesn’t always have to be through fighting, right? You are absolutely necessary to me, Ian-nim.”

“To you, Goddess?”

“Yes! As I said, I’m a strong goddess, so I can defeat the ‘Fragment of the End’ without a problem! But to completely defeat it, I need to use at least half of my power.”

The goddess then sighed briefly and continued.

“…The problem is, right now, I’m using most of my power to recover myself.”

“Understood… So, I should help you, Goddess, with your recovery.”

“Wow! As expected of Ian-nim! The man I chose! You understand even without me having to say anything!”

I nodded slightly at the goddess’s words.

I had slightly misunderstood the genre.

‘…It’s not a hero story, but a party story.’

The goddess also seemed to know the current trends, preferring me to be a party member who would assist the hero rather than a hero who defeated the enemy directly.

“So, Goddess, how do you recover?”

Should I find the legendary elixir?

Or collect the holy relics of the goddess scattered around the world?

‘Or maybe…’

As all sorts of simulations ran through my head, the goddess said something completely unexpected.

“It’s simple! You just have to have sex with me, Ian-nim!”

“…What?”

I genuinely couldn’t understand what she was saying.

Sex?

Had I heard that correctly?

“Goddess, I’m really sorry, but I don’t understand what you mean…”

“Um… It’s too formal to keep calling me goddess. Just call me Elise comfortably!”

“How can I call the Goddess by her name…”

“It’s okay. Hurry up. Call me Elise!”

While smiling brightly, the goddess fixed her gaze on my face with pressure.

Feeling like the conversation wouldn’t proceed unless I called her by name, I reluctantly opened my mouth.

“El…ise-nim.”

“Hehe! It feels good to be called by my name by Ian-nim. Actually, I’d prefer it without the ‘nim’, but… it might be fun to see how our titles change over time, so let’s move on for now.♪”

“…Thank you, Elise-nim.”

“Okay! So, what would you like to know, Ian-nim?”

“Why do you and I, Elise-nim, have to…se…ah…”

I just couldn’t bring myself to say the word ‘sex’ in front of the goddess.

“Ah! Why do we need to have sex, right?”

Fortunately, the goddess said what I wanted to say.

“…Yes.”

“It’s simple! If you don’t have sex with me, Ian-nim, the world will be destroyed!”

“…What?”

This was strange.

I had heard her answer, but it was becoming less and less comprehensible.

“As you see, I am a goddess, but I carry the blood of the demon race. And the demon race weakens if not periodically supplied with energy. I’ve been managing this by using my divine power for recovery, but now with the appearance of the ‘Fragment of the End’, my divine power is being used to counter the End, not for recovery.”

“So… you need energy equivalent to a lack of divine power.”

“Exactly right! It’s like you can read my mind, Ian-nim! Is this what they call a match made in heaven!!”

Clap, clap, clap─!

The goddess clapped her hands joyfully at my conclusion.

“Just one question… Why me?”

Countless men with better abilities than mine existed in the world, so why choose me?

“Hehe! There are three reasons for that. First and foremost, your appearance is to my liking, Ian-nim. Love at first sight, you could say? Eek! How embarrassing!”

“….”

Perhaps because Evelyn had told me I wasn’t good-looking, a compliment on my appearance from the goddess made me smile unwittingly.

“The second reason is your monstrous energy. Masturbating at least five times a day! Even up to sixteen times on your peak days! This is truly incredible!”

Then, my smile froze at her next words.

“….”

Why did the goddess know about my masturbation frequency?

Has she been watching me?

Suddenly, I felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment.

“Look now! An ordinary person would reach their limit just by being near me, but you, Ian-nim, you look at me and remain unaffected.”

“….”

“Ah, from your expression, it seems you don’t believe me! Shall I slightly release the pressure I’ve been holding back?”

“No… it’s not that I don’t believe… Uhk!!”

Drip─

The moment Elise-nim’s eyes twinkled, I almost erupted like a fountain.

“Hehe…! You see? This is what happens to an ordinary person near me. But Ian-nim, you managed to resist even after looking into my eyes! This alone shows how incredible your energy is, right?”

“Of course.”

I nodded quickly, fearing that denying it might trigger that horrifying experience again.

“Great! The last reason is simple. It’s because of a special ability you possess, Ian-nim!”

“…A special ability?”

“Yes! Ian-nim, you have the ability to turn the destiny power of the women you have sex with into your own!”

The goddess Elise said with a bright smile.
