"Huh..."
Alex fell asleep quite fast—not even two minutes, and he was sound asleep.
But as soon as he thought that he was about to enter the dream world, he found himself lying on the cold floor of a completely white room.
Not a thing was discernible as he stared at the surroundings. All he saw was white, but he just kept staring at the surroundings without a hint of panic on his face.
*Rustle*
He got up slowly, moving toward one of the walls of this space, staring closely at it but not touching it.
He kept staring at it for a while, frowning and mussing along with it, but soon he spoke.
"So? Where are we, love?"
His expression remained the same, and his eyes kept staring at the wall in front of him, sure that he could feel something from the other side of the wall calling for him.
His question, however, was for someone only he could tell was here.
"H-Huh? How did you know??"
Then, as if proving his words right, a woman's shocked voice was heard before one part of the white wall broke into pieces, revealing the complete room.
There was a throne—a black throne at the end of the room—and over that throne was Sophie, shocked, unable to comprehend how she got discovered.
She was planning to surprise Alex by using the fact that it was his first time here and that he would be a bit shaken by all the white in the surroundings, but who would've thought that he would calmly call out to her?
He wasn't yet supposed to know about this place!
"That's a secret, love."
Alex, however, just made a hushing gesture as he finally turned around, looking straight into Sophie's eyes with a playful smile on his face.
From the time he opened his eyes, finding himself in this all-white space, he could feel Sophie's feelings like he could for a while. She seemed excited and gleeful. It was as if she had planned this for a while.
That alone was enough to calm Alex. He was 100% sure that Sophie wouldn't be thrilled to see something bad happening to him, so he let go of the unease he should be feeling and focused more on the curiosity he felt.
"Mouu... come on, tell me. How did you know I was here?"
Sophie, on the other hand, hurriedly jumped down the throne, moving toward Alex with her cheeks puffed, pretending to be annoyed.
"I will tell you, but can I know where we are before that?"
Alex, hearing Sophie's question, just chuckled, shaking his head, and inquired about the thing that Sophie was supposed to tell him and also something he was really interested in.
"Ah, yeah. About that..."
As soon as his words fell, Sophie's eyes went large in realization. She was delaying the real thing! She hurriedly started to explain what was happening, causing Alex to sigh inwardly.
'Just how easy are you?'
He wanted to change the subject, and it happened so fast that Sophie didn't even notice that she was eagerly waiting for his answer a second ago.
It was not that he didn't want to tell Sophie about the fact that he could feel her emotions. He just wasn't sure how she would react to it. No one would like to have themselves seen through.
One part of his mind did tell him that she would be fine; she was the girl who decided to become a system, someone who didn't even have a corporeal body, so why would she care about something like having her emotions seen through by him?
But there was this small part in his mind that told him that he shouldn't reveal it to her... yet.
It was due to the same reason as above; he didn't want the girl who could go to such lengths for him to feel sad because of something he could just hide from her.
'Wait—!'
It was then that he noticed something; his arms moved towards his face in a hurry.
"Hm?"
Even Sophie, who was about to begin her explanation, paused as she noticed Alex inspecting his body, touching his own muscles and face, his turmoil clear on his face; it was as if he was trying to confirm something, and the more he did it, the more his confusion seemed to grow.
"Is this...?"
With a frown, he finally looked up at Sophie, frowning in perplexity.
"Oh, that. Yeah—"
Sophie, looking at all this, didn't take long to understand what Alex was trying to ask, so she stepped closer to him, looking up into his eyes with a smile. Her royal blue eyes reflected not his cute yet handsome face but his mature and majestic contour, which Alex could see clearly now.
"—you're in your old body right now."
Yes, Alex's body, unlike his younger and more delicate self, was now the mature one. His features were colder and rougher than his younger self, but unlike his younger self, he was wilder than refined.
Those features, however, were the sole reason that he was called an incubus by many of his female subordinates.
"Why? And how?"
Alex, on the other hand, was still confused. It was not like he hated his past self or something like that. Both of them were him, and he was the one and only Alex. Alex was sure that his body right now, once grown up, would look just like this.
The weird thing was that Alex's penis size remained the same in both of his lives as well.
There was this birthmark on his back, just above his hips. it was the same in his new body as well. It was as if he had just turned younger.
*Tip**Top*...
As Alex was still in his thoughts, Sophie stepped closer to him, patting his shoulders and answering his question.
"This is the system space, a place where you can be whatever you want. And the old you is what you think of yourself as, so you have that body right now, exactly in the same state that you last remember it to be."
Alex's confusion got elevated a bit as things seemed a bit clearer, along with the fact that he slowly realized that the one who had made it all possible—that unknown goddess—was far more powerful than he had thought her to be.
But well, it was not his problem for now.
The most glaring problem—something he found out just a second ago—right now was that he had a boner!
He gritted his teeth as he recalled that the last thing he could remember about this body was the time with Sophie before he blacked out. At that time, he was hard... he was aroused...
