Chapter 48: Queen Medusa? No, Small Medusa!
--- Chapter 47 ---
Baek Ain releases a sigh of relief while looking at his lovers. They had a blissful look on their beautiful faces, making one question what kind of experience they went through.
He shook his head helplessly because Nirvana Touch is an overpowered skill against the opposite gender. Yafei and Lan Rou literally howled in happiness every time he used it.
Unfortunately, Baek Ain could control himself. Having this kind of power would corrupt anyone with a weak will.
[You're still a pervert, host] Alicia suddenly commented.
[Holding yourself back doesn't mean you were a saint or something]
"Tch, just when I started to feel good about myself."
"Anyway, I miss you, Alicia."
"You don't forget to Sign In the area around me when I am unconscious, right?"
[...]
"Right??"
[...] Alicia cannot respond.
After Baek Ain fainted out of extreme shock, the system entered standby mode until he awakened again.
[You haven't issued any order regarding that...]
"Oh? I thought my lovely Alicia would assist me the best she could from now on. It seems that was an empty promise, after all." Baek Ain commented lightly.
"I don't know that the assist is limited to sorting inventory and maps."
[...]
[Ding! The system has concluded a compensation for loss Sign In's chances]
[The host is entitled to do Ultimate Sign In once]
[Ultimate Sign-In will pull guaranteed rare rewards above A Grade and won't be reset until the host decide to use it]
"Just once? How long have I been bedridden?"
[Two months...]
"Give me more then."
[T-That's a little bit too much...]
"Aww... I guess those 62 daily Sign-In were "sadly." wasted."
[Fine, since this is your 1st Transmigration, I'll make an exception]
[The host granted the chance to do Ultimate Sign In twice]
[Please use them wisely, host] Alicia's monotonous voice sounds defeated.
"I will, hehe." Baek Ain smiled as he walked to the shower. He cleaned his body briefly before noticing his white hair becoming longer and reaching the chest area.
He looked in the mirror and saw his facial features became fairer but not losing their masculine quality. He pondered for a moment and discovered the reason behind this sudden transformation.
[Name: Pure Sun-Swallowing Serpent Physique]
[Type: Blessed Physique]
[Grade: S+]
[Description: The host experienced an extreme change and mutated "Pure Yang Physique." after sucking Queen Medusa's Life Energy and Blood. It created a body that possessed Pure Yang Energy and the Innate Charm of Snake Men]
[Your charm rivaled that of Queen Medusa, so bewitching weak female hearts will become as easy as breathing for you]
"..." Baek Ain didn't know if he should be happy with this absurd mutation.
He was decently handsome in the past.
However, now?
Even world-class actors would be jealous of Baek Ain's appearance and physique. Every fiber of his muscles seem full of powers and an invisible purple aura, having a slender but compact quality. His face is fair without any blemishes, with sharp eyebrows, a defined jawline, and a button nose.
Baek Ain clenched his hand and felt weird because the physical strength he used to have doubled when he woke up. At first, he thought only his cultivation and skills got upgraded after the fight.
'What the fuck happened with my body?' Baek Ain frowned deeply.
"Alicia, open status."

"Holy shit..." Baek Ain stared at his status in shock.
How could he upgrade so many skills into S Grade?
Especially vague skills like Sixth Sense and Lightning Impulse are hard to train, taking Baek Ain weeks to make micro progress. He knew a life-and-death experience would polish his raw potential, but this was too much.
And it feels unreal.
"No, this is still not enough. Don't be surprised with this small increase of power, Ain." Beak Ain breathed in and slapped his face a few times.
"There are hundreds if not thousands of Dou Ancestors and Dou Venerate out there. They are much stronger and cruel than Queen Medusa, so this small achievement and improvement is nothing."
"I'm still severely lacking..." He added firmly.
"Wait, Queen Medusa?"
Baek Ain has forgotten one piece in his sudden improvement, which is Queen Medusa herself. Without her, he wouldn't be able to become this strong quickly.
The last thing he saw before blacking out was Queen Medusa staring at him solemnly. Her red eyes approached him and disappeared a second later.
"Oh no..."
"Don't tell me?" A small white thing moved between the curtains of the shower room.
Baek Ain's Sixth Sense and Lightning Impulse flared out as he turned around, catching the creature behind the curtain. It was an adorable white snake with red eyes, having a small body around the size of a toddler's arm.
Hiss!
The snake hissed softly at Baek Ain, licking his face.
"..." Baek Ain also forgot Queen Medusa evolved into a small snake in the original story. He expected something different since this world is an alternative universe, but a few things stayed the same.
[Name: Queen Medusa(Passive)]
[Race: Magical Beast/Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python]
[Description: This magical beast is the shell of Queen Medusa, who has gone through Race Evolution. As Queen Medusa hibernated because of exhaustion, her instinct as newborn Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python surfaced and birthed a new personality akin to a young child]
[Ding! Queen Medusa has formed the "Soul Symbiotic Ritual." before hibernating, forming a somewhat shallow but firm connection between the host and herself]
[It's shallow and not harming the host spiritually, so Innate Skill: Soul Protection(Unknown) isn't activated]
[Simply put, she wanted to use the host as her guardian while recovering her strength]
"Are you kidding me? How can you be this petty, Queen Medusa?" Baek Ain was speechless.
"Also, what's Soul Symbiotic Ritual? It's the first time I heard something like this..."
[The "Soul Symbiotic Ritual." is inherently similar to a one-sided marriage contract]
"..." Baek Ain.
[You were the one who boldly proposed to Queen Medusa first. Bear the responsibility, host]
[...Good Luck]
Even though Alicia didn't laugh, Baek Ain could hear it in her monotonous voice.
Baek Ain sighed in defeat and mumbled, "I didn't choose the harem path... The harem path chose me."
