5. The first N*g*tfall...

"Are you going to get married? For real?" Athena's voice sounded like she still couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Maya was lying on the bed and putting the phone on the speaker. "Don't spread any rumors."

-Even if something leaks out, your grandfather will take care of it.

-True.

-Did you see him?

-No.

-Then why do you say yes?

-Because I have no reason to say no.

-You are kidding me, right? Who in the industry would dare say you are not successful? Is there any award you didn't win? All of your last five movies earned a profit. Two of them were even considered blockbusters.

-mmm.

-What 'mmm'? Why are you giving in to their pressure?

-I am not.

-Then?

-I want to get married.

-What? If you get married now…

-I won't mind retiring for the right person.

There was an understandable silence on the other side of the call. Athena asked again, "Are you in love?"

-Not yet.

-What do you mean by not yet?

-Stop it. Let me rest. I will talk to you later.

Maya didn't wait for Athena to respond. Instead, she ended the call and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she was standing in the free space. 

"Welcome, executive Maya."

That was the first thing she had heard. 

The person she saw had elongated ears with silver hair.

"An elf?"

"Yes, executive Maya. I am from world no. 7662. I was an intermediate worker under the senior executive Hilda."

Hilda was the name Maya was aware of. Hilda was the same person with whom she had signed the contract. 

The last time she talked to her was when Hilda took control of Athena's body. 

"Senior executive Hilda is on a mission. She had assigned a mission to guide you, executive Maya."

"I am going just to receive a mission and leave. Don't worry about me."

"Senior executive Hilda informed me that you might want to do that. That is why I am going to lead you to your domain."

"My domain?"

"Yes." As she was talking, she walked through the meta plane, saying, "Now that you are an executive, you won't be able to enter other executives' domains. Your domain would be available only to you and the people you are allowed."

Maya was slowly getting the gist of it.

The place she is at right now is called Metaplane. It was a long hall surrounded by an endless void. 

Previously, she needed to make her way to the end of the hall, where she could touch the stele, which would transport her into the city Hilda had control over. 

"Please touch the stele." 

As soon as Maya did, the void opened up, and she could see…

"Isn't that my penthouse?"

"No, executive Maya. That is the domain. It took the form of the place you are most comfortable with."

Before completing her sentence, Maya passed through the membrane and entered the space. Maya couldn't help but feel like it was her own home.

"So you are here?" 

Maya turned back to see a loli wearing a goth-style dress. 

"Hilda?"

"No, I am just the memory essence." Hilda stood up and walked towards the computer, continuing, "You are seeing this, which means you are here before I can complete my mission."

"This is my domain!"

"Yes. I will send your team members soon." The computer screen brightened up when Hilda touched it. "I know there are many things you want to know. I will tell you about it later. For now, look at this."

"Like the quest wall I had in my domain, you can access your quest from the computer. For now, I have selected a simple mission. The rewards aren't much, but they will help you get accustomed to the body's new parts and also get accustomed to the metality."

Even without looking down, Maya knew which part she was talking about.

"It is a simple mission. But the body you will possess isn't a futanari's. It's a man."

"Okay."

"Chh…" Hilda clicked her tongue, saying, "You are no fun."

"It is just another mission for me."

"Whatever. I will look for you when I return. Have fun."

And Hilda vanished.

Maya didn't go to the computer directly. Instead, she looked around. 

"It appears that everything is in its proper place." Maya walked around the entire floor before returning to the computer.

Sitting in front of the computer, she clicked on the mission icon. 

Only one mission appeared. 

[Character: Dereck Longhorn.

Mission: The Third son of Count Dovric Longhorn. The first son of Dovric Longhorn is Daniel Longhorn, who will inherit the title and is also his real brother. Daniel is secretly a cut-sleeve. Produce an heir for Daniel so he can inherit the title.

Condition: Dovric and his concubines should never know.

Reward: 10 astral coins.

Mission Initiator: Hilda [Senior Executive]

World Overseer: Theresa [Gurdian]]

Maya could understand why there was a minimal reward. After all, there was no challenge to the mission. 

Ultimately, his brother would have discovered alternative means of having a child if he had known about his homosexuality and truly desired to inherit the title.

That was the norm in those medieval worlds. It was also the fact that people weren't very friendly towards homosexuality. 

The nobility would often disown their children if they were found to have such a trait. It described the situation.

'So, she said it was an easy mission.' Maya understood. But the special mission attracted her attention.

[Special Mission: Trait of a Cuckoo.

Mission: Let others bring up your offspring. 

Condition: The fathers must not be aware of it.

Reward: 1 year of fertility per offspring.

Mission Initiator: Theresa [Gurdian]

World Overseer: Theresa [Gurdian]]

It wasn't the first time she had heard about Theresa. Theresa is a component guardian. She is known to have guardianship over four worlds.

Maya had done jobs for Theresa before. She is aware of what type of twisted personality they have. 

However, it was the reward she was interested in. She clicked on it.

[Fertility can be transferred to the astral body. It can be transferred to the main body.

Increase the chance of impregnation by 10%

Fertility [Astral Body]: 0

Fertility [Human Body]: 12 years, seven days]

'Theresa really knows how to entice someone.' Maya didn't hesitate any more and accepted the mission.

Everything in front of her went black, and the next thing she knew, she was struggling to breathe.

Maya had felt it many times—almost a thousand times, to be exact.

Unless it is a mission that someone still needs to complete or discard midway through, every mission starts at birth.

Spending time on the astral plane or in another dimension does not affect the timeline of her reality. Thus, it would seem as though hardly any time had elapsed upon her return.

The birth of a new child happened very normally. People were excited around him. People came and went. After some time, the surrounding area calmed down.

Maya, who is currently Dereck, was given his mother's milk and fell asleep.

Now was Maya's relaxing time. She had had to go through the regular time scale. However, a question appeared in front of her eyes.

[Do you want to fast forward to puberty?]

Maya was a little surprised. She could not tell if it was because her new role as an executive was influencing the system or if the quest itself had nothing to do with relationship building beyond sexual encounters.

'Then again, it isn't the first sex mission I have accepted. This must be executive perks.'

So, she decided to grow up. After all, there is no reason to do that. The following inquiry was subsequently made.

[Set the relationship status with people related to you.]

The list of people should have been shorter. And there were quite a few options.

Every one of the names had a little explanation about the future.

By the time she had completed it, two days had passed.

She kept a cordial relationship with every female. In the case of the male, who will be enemies in the future, she maintained a good relationship.

After all, it could be considered a way to exert revenge.

In the end, Dereck was a lovely child who was cordial with everyone he met. Then Dereck slept again.

Time started to accelerate. And the life of Dereck is displayed on the screens in front of Maya. Even though she tried, Maya could not keep herself awake.

{Author: From this point on, Maya will be Dereck. So, only he/him will be used.}

The next thing he knew, someone was tickling his nether. He didn't know who it was, but Dereck tightened his wrap around the pillow between his legs and rubbed himself against it.

The feeling didn't disappear. Instead, it increased more.

At least he stayed put this time. Pressing himself against the pillow, he hoped nothing would touch him there. But the feeling became unbearable. 

The more he rubbed, the more unbearable it became.

Fortunately, it did not linger for very long. His entire being was enveloped in a state of pure bliss, and he dozed off while beaming from ear to ear.
