“The sky summoned an elephant?”

“Suddenly I heard a crying sound and wondered what it was, but later found out it was an elephant. How surprised I was when I heard that… Fortunately, there were no casualties.”

The topic of conversation at the dinner table that evening was, of course, Yeon Ha-neul summoning an elephant.

Father burst into hearty laughter upon hearing the story while Mother, still feeling a bit uneasy, shook her head.

Meanwhile, Ye-eun’s response was predictable.

“Doing fun stuff when I’m not around again… I want to summon an animal too!”

I chuckled at my younger sister, her eyes sparkling.

“Next time the Witch of Iridescent Colors comes, I’ll ask her.”

“No. If you summon a dangerous animal like an elephant, what’s the point? The Witch of Iridescent Colors said that animals coming out of a hat have similarities to the person’s personality.”

“While personality does play a role, the impact is…”

“I’m confident I’d summon a kind and gentle animal like myself!”

“I hope our daughter isn’t lying.”

“I really am kind…”

“Good kids don’t be picky eaters.”

“Ugh, blame it on me being like you, Mom?”

“Why are you suddenly targeting me? What did I do?”

“Mom, you got worse after cutting your hair! You weren’t like this before!”

“It’s not that I got worse, I’ve become stronger. And was I not like this before?”

“hahahaha…”

A sign of harmony in the family, probably.

Today, there was no excessive quarreling between Mother and Ye-eun.

At times like this, it’s best to quietly focus on eating so as not to disturb the two.

Father seemed to have the same idea as me.

As our eyes met at the dining table, we felt a sense of camaraderie.

“Son, Dad actually thinks long hair is nice.”

“I do too, uh… Yes?”

“But sometimes, sacrifices are necessary to maintain the peace of the family.”

“….”

“Recognize the sacrifice I make for you.”

“Oh, yes….”

Why is it that a different intention is read in Father’s eyes?

It seemed like the communication between me and Father was not sufficient.

I gave up on conversing with eyes and spoke to Father.

“Dad, so, you know. Heaven has caught the eye of the Rainbow Witch.”

“I haven’t seen it myself but… Heaven’s talent must be remarkable. Not only did the Rainbow Witch, who was so strict when contacted by phone, offer to teach Heaven for free, but she also said she would accept her as a formal disciple…”

“Does that mean Heaven’s future is highly anticipated?”

“Of course.”

“Then, can the family sponsor her?”

Truth be told, I had been waiting for an opportunity to speak.

I had been holding back on speaking because Heaven hadn’t shown any talent worthy of sponsorship from the Yeon family.

But now, becoming a disciple of the Rainbow Witch, she had proven her worth.

A legitimate reason for sponsorship had been established, so there was no need to hold back anymore.

“Sponsorship… So that’s what you were aiming for.”

With that in mind, Father’s reaction wasn’t bad.

After a moment of thought, he showed a positive response.

“Now that she has become a disciple of the Rainbow Witch and with my recommendation, she can receive sponsorship from the Divine Arts Foundation. Even if not, since I heard the orphanage where she lives is in a poor financial state, I was thinking of ways to help. It’s good. If we support Heaven, both Heaven and the orphanage can receive assistance from the foundation.”

“Really?”

“You’ll only know when you try, but it should work out.”

Heaven, as well as the orphanage she lives in, will be able to receive sponsorship.

Heaven will be delighted to know.

Even I felt excited listening to Father’s words.

At that moment, Father brought up another topic.

“But we should also hear the story of the Rainbow Witch.”

“The Rainbow Witch? Why?”

“For a Hunter to formally take on a disciple means they are willing to become their guardian and generously support them. So, before the family sponsors Heaven, we should first ask the Rainbow Witch how far she intends to support.”

“Ah….”

“Given her personality, she might not want to be associated with our family and may choose to support Heaven entirely on her own. In that case, well… we’ll just have to sponsor the orphanage where Heaven lives.”

“Please ensure Heaven is not financially disadvantaged.”

“Right, I got it. Don’t worry. Whether it’s me, the Rainbow Witch, or that child, we all want to support their future generously.”

Rainbow Witch Hong Ye-na.

I hadn’t considered the possibility of her sponsoring Heaven.

But it wouldn’t be bad if she did.

Either way, I hoped Heaven would become a wizard in a rich environment.

That way, my power would increase.

“Heaven won’t turn dark.”

The young sky must not bring despair to life.

The catastrophic division of the young sky, engulfing and destroying the world, was out of the question.

I was determined not to let her evolve into a mid-level boss.

“By the way, you’ve also decided to learn magic?”

“Yes, that’s right. I plan to focus on magic that complements swordsmanship…”

“That means you’ve shown potential after all… I only heard that the heavens summoned an elephant, didn’t hear what you summoned.”

“…”

“Come to think of it, that’s right. Gyungwoo, what did you summon?”

“That’s right! What did you summon, brother!?”

“…A white lion.”

“Oh, not just a lion, but a white-furred white lion? Did you pick an albino? I might not know much about magic, but if you picked an albino, it must be remarkable. Maybe you’re more talented than the heavens? Maybe in the future, the Grand Magician will come out of the Divine Sword Guild because of you!”

“I did bear one good son.”

“If you learn magic, teach me too!”

“hahahaha….”

I held my words back as much as possible.

***

Thus, as I began to learn magic from the iridescent witch.

Time flowed busily.

At the age of twelve.

Father gathered the family and made a shocking announcement.

“The official announcement is scheduled for a week from now, but it’s confirmed that I’ll be inaugurated as the Sub Lord of the Regulus Clan. I met the Lord at the main house today and received his blessing on the way back.”

“Congratulations. You’re finally becoming a Sub Lord.”

“It’s all thanks to you for taking care of things behind the scenes. If it weren’t for you, I would have collapsed midway. I’m really grateful, there’s no one else like you.”

“What? Sub Lord? Dad, what does that mean?”

“I don’t know what it means, but congratulations, Dad!”

Since Father’s visit to the main house during the family’s moon, he seemed to be returning home late more often.

It turned out it was because he was busy filling his achievements to become a Sub Lord.

I couldn’t help but be bewildered.

It was something that didn’t exist in the game.

‘How did this happen?’

In the game, there was only a brief mention of it.

Father was depicted as someone who didn’t seek the Lord’s position, avoiding competition with his siblings, sticking to his position as the head of the branch, and dedicating himself to the family.

It was hard to believe that such a father became a Sub Lord.

‘Could it be because of me?’

It seemed like my realization of my past life had brought about a change in Father’s mindset.

I was worried.

Father becoming a Sub Lord meant that he wouldn’t hesitate to compete with his siblings to take the Lord’s position.

However, contrary to my worries, my father showed a cheerful demeanor.

“Everyone back at the house has been down because of me, right? From now on, stand tall and walk with strength. You can even make mistakes like Gyeonwoo! I’ll cover for you.”

“But I haven’t made any mistakes.”

“That’s your perspective.”

It felt unjust to be seen as a problem child by my father.

But if it was a decision my father had made after careful consideration, I had no intention of opposing it.

In a way, it was a fortunate turn of events for me.

‘As long as Dad aims to be the head of the family, I might as well benefit from it. Whether in the family or the academic city.’

So, I congratulated my father.

If my father aimed to be the patriarch, I was willing to support him.

—

What adorned my twelve-year-old majesty was none other than circumcision.

In medical terms, it was called a circumcision procedure.

A circumcision is a surgery that involves cutting off the foreskin covering the glans of the penis…

‘…Is it really necessary?’

Just imagining the detailed process made me shudder involuntarily.

I regretted being born a male for no reason, feeling resentful.

As someone who had once hunted whales in a past life, the reality of having to experience it again made my head spin.

‘But if I become a hunter, at least I won’t have to go to the military twice… should I comfort myself with that…’

Of course, whale hunting was a choice, not an obligation.

It could be done or left undone.

In reality, my father did not force me into it, despite my unease.

―Circumcision? Well, it’s probably better to do it than not.

Perhaps my father empathized with my feelings as a fellow man.

He said so.

But my mother had a different opinion.

―No, you must do it. You absolutely must.

―Mom, most of the kids in my class haven’t done it yet, these days….

―Just because the others haven’t done it, you won’t either? Since when did you start following others?

―….

―I understand your feelings perfectly well. It’s probably scary and unpleasant for you right now. But when you grow up and become an adult, there will come a day when you’ll be grateful to me. So, let’s go to the hospital, okay?

―…You say you understand even though you’re a woman?

―As someone who gave birth to you and Eunyi, enduring the pain of childbirth twice, can’t I understand that much?

―….

“Kyungwoo, trust your mother. It might be uncomfortable later on. Nowadays, they say there are no hygiene issues… But if you don’t do it, it will be bothersome to maintain cleanliness.”

“Okay…”

“Also, it’s good to become popular with women.”

“Kyungwoo, that’s a lie…”

“Keep quiet.”

“Yes, Madam.”

“At least your mother has a preference. Even if you may think you’re clean, women might not.”

“…Alright, I got it. I’ll do it.”

Mother’s will was firm.

I, who had been hesitating in my choice, ultimately had no choice but to make a decision.

It was never my intention to gain popularity.

Having experienced whaling in my past life, I was not swayed by my mother’s persuasion.

It was also because it was undeniably easier to manage.

And there was Yeonhaneul’s opinion as well.

[Me]: What do you think?

[Yeonhaneul]: So men do that kind of thing… I never knew (@ㅡ@;)

[Yeonhaneul]: Wait! I’ll ask the headmaster and come back!

(A moment later)…

[Yeonhaneul]: You don’t have to, but it’s better to do it!

[Yeonhaneul]: It might be painful and scary, but stay strong…

[Me]: Sigh… Alright…

In any case, thus it was.

That day, I found myself riding in the car my mother drove, heading to the urology department.

“It’s okay, Kyungwoo. It won’t hurt at all once you’re under anesthesia, and it’ll only take 30 minutes. After it’s done, let’s go eat something delicious together.”

“Okay…”

In a world where magic and science had advanced.

Strangely enough, when it came to vasectomy surgery, this world was similar in standards to the past world.

It seemed not entirely implausible.

The only difference from the past was that the vasectomy surgery in this world approached a 0% chance of side effects.

So the perception of vasectomy surgery in this world was quite positive…

Having researched information on the internet beforehand, I involuntarily sighed.

“Mr. Dogyeonwoo, please come in.”

But now there was no turning back.

I bid farewell to my mother, walked confidently into the operating room, undressed, lay on the bed, and waited for the surgery.

Eventually, the surgery commenced.

“Wow, this is serious.”

…Teacher, that’s s*xual harassment.

Today, I had to endure the embarrassment of being stripped by men I had never seen before and undergo surgery.

“I will make you into a man today.”

“Young man, become a legend.”

“When you leave this operating room, you will feel like you’ve been reborn.”

“…”

Numb below due to anesthesia.

I blankly stared at the ceiling, simply hoping for this time to pass quickly.

And so.

Snip snip…

Reborn in this world, twelve years later.

My member truly saw the outside world.

“The sound is quite eerie….”

—

It is said that Doh Yeonwoo is going to catch a whale.

According to the headmaster’s story, he is going to become a man.

Yeonnuel, who still doesn’t quite grasp the meaning, is once again only aware of the difference between men and women.

“So that’s what comes off….”

Having grown up in an orphanage.

Yeonnuel helped the orphanage teachers wash the bodies of younger children than herself.

Every time, she naturally encountered ‘it’.

Taking on a protruding shape unlike that of a woman, ‘it’ sometimes made her think it was cute.

She also found it fascinating.

But the fact that ‘it’ would be ‘that way’ was too shocking.

“Goodness, they cut it….”

Even as a woman herself, she shuddered at the mere thought.

Wondering how Doh Yeonwoo, who had to undergo circumcision, must be feeling.

Yeonnuel couldn’t help but worry deeply about him undergoing the surgery.

They said there was no chance of anything going wrong with the surgery, but she couldn’t shake off her anxiety.

So, she lit an incense stick and prayed.

“Please….”

Keep Yeonwoo’s manhood safe and sound.

Please let Yeonwoo become a man.

Fortunately, the surgery was successful.

The tumor that had been hiding inside the shell finally revealed itself to the world.

I… was no longer afraid.

Hmm…

‘Once the anesthesia wears off, it’s going to hurt….’

Just the thought of it was frightening.

It seemed best not to engage in too strenuous activity until my condition improved.

I decided to pause my training for a while and focus solely on resting.

I gently touched my pants with my hand, checked the paper cup protecting my penis, and slowly took a step.

Walking was quite uncomfortable.

My mother, upon seeing me in that state, chuckled as if finding it amusing.

“Our son, you endured it without crying. Well done. Shall we go have a delicious lunch together?”

“Yes….”

Today, I found my mother annoying.

Following my mother, who was paying attention to my gait, I went to have lunch.

Afterward, we spent some time at a café, sipping drinks.

When we returned home, Yeeun and Yeonha were waiting for us.

“Big brother! Did the neutering go well!?”

“Are you okay, Gyunwoo?”

“It’s not neutering, it’s a vasectomy. But Yeonha, what’s wrong with you?”

“I came to see how you were doing. So, how did the surgery go? What happened?”

“See for yourself.”

To satisfy the curiosity of Yeeun and Yeonha easily.

I protruded the pants area that rose like a mountain due to the paper cup.

Yeeun found it fascinating, while Yeonha seemed to sympathize as if feeling sorry.

“Big brother, cool! It’s like a lion living in your pants! It looks like laser beams might shoot out from there!”

“That’s right, I’m raising a lion. It’s Lion King Gao Gaiger.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, it’s not here….”

“What nonsense are you talking about? How long are you going to keep this up?”

“Until the wound heals. They said to wear it for about 2 weeks.”

“It must be tough and uncomfortable until then. Does it hurt? Are you okay? Did you take your medicine?”

“…I had some pain, so I took it on the way here. It’s bearable for now.”

“But don’t push yourself too hard. Remember to take your medicine properly from now on. Is there anything I can do to help?”

“Then… can you support me?”

“Got it.”

“Big brother! I’ll help too!”

Yeonha willingly lent her shoulder.

I put my arm around her shoulder and staggered towards home.

Meanwhile, Yeeun also offered to assist and hung onto my waist.

The height difference between Yaeun and me didn’t offer much support, but I was grateful for her consideration nonetheless.

“If someone saw her… they might think she had survived a war.”

I heard my mother mumbling from behind, sounding bewildered.

Supported by the two, I entered the house.

And so.

“Hmph.”

I became a man.
