Chapter 4:
Reborn: How To Win Against SSS-Ranked Skill Users!
And then, just when I thought I was about to be turned into river paste—I stopped.
Not by hitting a rock. Not by a miracle bounce.
No. I hovered. Inches from the river, and another deadly drop below it.
It was as if magic had caught me mid-fall.
I couldn’t move. My entire body was frozen. But I turned my head—and saw her.
An angel?
No… an elf.
A gorgeous elf with silver hair and piercing purple eyes. She stood above me, calm and collected, like this was just another Tuesday.
“Hello there. Are you lost or something, hm?”
What in the name of Buddha's last enlightenment path was this?!
I stood there, dumbfounded—no, transcended—as my vision dropped the kind of landscape that makes you question whether reality was ever real to begin with.
This wasn’t just a beautiful girl standing before me.
No.
This was an epoch. A moment in time so breathtaking that even the gods would fumble their sketchpads trying to capture it.
A female elf. Long, lustrous ears that flirted with the breeze. Her silver hair—no, moonlight spun into silk—billowed behind her, as if the wind itself had become a painter, highlighting each strand with the soft touch of eternity.
Her neck? A marvel of architecture. A slender pillar sculpted by the gods to display grace.
Her eyes? Gemstones dipped in twilight—amethysts that saw through you, into you, and past you, deciding you weren’t even worth judging.
And yet.
Despite her divinity, I found myself unable to look away from her mortal sins—those thighs. Those thighs that could cradle the hopes of a generation. Those thighs that looked like they could solve climate change just by existing.
She wore a white ensemble. Virgin white. Sacred white. The kind of white that makes you feel unworthy for looking at it. Accented by gentle purples—the color of royalty, mystique, and whatever else anime thinks purple means.
Her skirt was short. Criminally short. Geneva Convention short.
And her boots?
White. Long. Heroic. The kind that says, “I will trample evil, but I will do it gracefully.”
But none of that mattered. Because above all else—beyond the wind, beyond the clothes, beyond the divine aura—were the assets.
Oh, the assets.
Her chest. Her bosom. Her glorious, gravity-defying monuments to the miracle of digital character modeling. Premium in size, pristine in texture, they jiggled with a divine authority that said, “These are not just for show. These are the embodiment of what mankind has yearned for since Eve took a bite of that fateful fruit.”
They were so symmetrical, so perfectly calibrated to the male gaze, that I nearly filed a complaint with the universe for being born too early, too mortal, too pathetic to ever deserve them.
And don’t even get me started on her skin.
Smooth. Hairless. Not just shaved—preordained by fate to be this flawless. Like the gods themselves held a board meeting and unanimously voted: “Yes. Let her pores be invisible. Let her radiate with enough light to qualify as a secondary sun.”
And those thighs? I know I already mentioned them. But I must again.
It was in that precise moment—yes, that very fleeting, irreversible second—that I lost something fundamental to my being.
She had walked out from behind the curtain, completely oblivious to the fact that she was about to alter the very metaphysical composition of the room. The floor, the walls, the air—they all bent to accommodate her entrance.
And I? I merely stood there, an unworthy mortal watching a goddess descend without ceremony.
The sunlight struck her from behind, casting her silhouette into a divine tapestry of curves and holiness. Her hair, golden and ethereal, billowed slightly as though the laws of physics had taken a short break to admire her. Each strand was not so much hair as it was an invocation—a hymn composed in keratin.
And then—oh, gods above—then I saw them.
Her thighs.
No warning. No mental preparation. No time to steel my heart. The skirt she wore, traitorous in its brevity, danced just enough to offer a glimpse. A glimpse!
That moment could have been a blink in a hummingbird’s lifetime, yet to me, it stretched on like a war-torn saga of desire.
Her thighs weren’t merely “well-shaped”—no, that would be too crude, too insufficient. They were sculpted by the elven gods in collaboration with whatever divine force governed the lost art of seduction. Smooth, toned, and glimmering faintly with the sweat of physical exertion, they bore the expression of a woman not only born to conquer, but to enthrall.
The skin? Unblemished. A cream so pure it could humble clouds. I felt as though even gazing upon them without weeping was some manner of cosmic felony.
Her gait, too—do not get me started on that gait. Every step she took was a subtle rebellion against gravity, and her thighs—ah yes, those sacred instruments—flexed in rhythm with the beating of my increasingly ungovernable heart.
And as she stood, brushing back her hair with the careless grace of someone completely unaware of their devastating impact on the male psyche, I witnessed it again. That skirt—still short. That wind—still loyal to no one. And there, just for a second, I saw the forbidden zone once more.
I should have looked away.
Of course, I understand—the gentlemanly thing to do in this kind of situation is to avert your eyes. I understand that fully. I’m no beast, no feral gremlin driven solely by instinct.
In most cases, I probably would have done so. I even try my best to look down at my feet the entire while if a girl happens to be in front of me when I climb the stairs.
But at that moment in time, I was not so polished a man that I could promptly behave in said manner, utterly unprepared, upon being visited by such a blessing out of the blue.
It was like that image of her—those divine thighs—was being burned into my retinas.
If I were to die that instant, and if my eyes were to be transplanted to another soul, I fear they would live out their days plagued with visions of her—the thighs of an elf heroine.
The last testament of my mortal existence.
That’s how shocking it was.
The very concept of chastity suffered an existential crisis in that moment.
Hold on.
How long have I been going on about an elf heroine’s thighs?
...
...
Don’t answer that.
