"Shit, I'm late! I'll have to run to the office!" a disheveled black-haired man muttered to himself, quickening his pace despite the heavy rain. His eyes were sunken, with dark circles underneath, and his legs moved mechanically, driven by sheer willpower.
"Tomorrow's the weekend, I'll finally rest," he whispered, trying to muster up the motivation to keep going. As he waited at the side of the road, he took a deep breath and darted into the busy street, weaving between cars and earning a chorus of angry honks and shouts.
"Dickhead!"
"What the fuck, you crazy hobo!"
"Get off the road, bastard!" drivers yelled, slamming on their brakes to avoid hitting him. But one truck, its tires hydroplaning on the wet asphalt, kept barreling forward, its driver oblivious to the man's desperate dash.
The black-haired man didn't see it coming. One moment, he was running; the next, he was weightless, lifted off the ground by the truck's deadly impact. Time froze, and an unsettling silence enveloped him.
"What the..." the man mumbled, his voice barely audible as his consciousness began to slip away. Everything around him blurred into a hazy mess, and his attempts to stand only ended in miserable failure.
"I guess this is it..." he whispered, his body sliding back onto the wet pavement with a faint splat. He didn't try to get up again, instead letting his head thud against the ground.
"I can finally rest..." he breathed, his voice fading into a soft whisper as his consciousness slipped away, consumed by the darkness.
Drip. Drip. The sound echoed through the air as the man with long, wavy black hair lay on the lush green grass, a cold liquid trickling onto his face. He moaned, his eyes creaking open to blurry slits as he struggled to take in his surroundings.
"Hmm...?" A soft, feminine voice pierced the air, prompting the man's attention. He gazed toward the sound, his blurry eyesight slowly sharpening.
"Are you okay?" the voice asked, laced with concern. As the man's vision cleared, he found himself staring at an breathtakingly beautiful woman with lush, long blonde hair cascading down her back like a river of gold.
"Yeah, I am," the boy muttered, his voice laced with a mix of confusion and discomfort as he struggled to sit up. His eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the lush green grass and the towering trees that seemed to stretch up to the sky.
"Where am I?" he asked, his gaze drifting back to the blonde beauty.
"Lunar Forest," she replied promptly, her voice melodious and soothing.
The boy's eyes widened in shock, his mind racing with the implications. Lunar Forest?! He thought to himself, but he kept his expression neutral, not wanting to reveal his surprise.
Just then, a sudden ding pierced the air, and a holographic screen flickered to life before the boy's eyes.
[System Activated! Soul of host has been successfully summoned!]
The boy's eyes grew wide with shock as he stared at the screen, his mind reeling with questions. What is this? A system?! He thought to himself, trying to wrap his head around the sudden revelation.
The blonde-haired woman watched him with a soft gaze, she seemed to he worried about him.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to take you to my home so you can rest a bit," the blonde-haired woman said, her voice gentle and soothing.
The boy stared at her in shock, his mind racing with excitement. Was she joking? Of course, he'd follow her! Who wouldn't want to follow such a stunningly beautiful woman to her home?
"Thanks..." he said with a nod, still trying to process his luck. She helped him stand up, her touch sending a spark of electricity through his body.
"Could I get your name?" she asked, looking at him with a soft, enchanting gaze.
"I'm Ethan... You?" he replied, his voice a little shaky.
"I'm Lilith, nice to meet you, Ethan," she said, her smile radiant. As they began walking together, Ethan couldn't help but steal glances at Lilith, his heart racing with excitement.
As Ethan accompanied Lilith to her home, he learned several crucial things that left him reeling. Firstly, he discovered that he was dead and had been transported to a fantasy world. Secondly, he found out that he had been transmigrated to this world with a system that would serve as his guide, helping him become stronger.
However, the third revelation left him stunned – males were extremely rare in this world. From goblins to humans, they were scarce, and as a result, many were taken as slaves in the capital. The situation was so dire that villagers resorted to kidnapping male goblins for their own twisted desires.
Ethan's mind struggled to wrap around the implications of this discovery. What kind of world was this, where males were a commodity to be exploited? He glanced at Lilith, wondering what her plan was.
"We're here," Lilith said, gently removing the scarf that had covered Ethan's head. She had taken the precaution to conceal his identity from the other villagers, protecting him from potential kidnappers or opportunists.
"Thanks again," Ethan said, expressing his gratitude as Lilith waved it off with a warm smile.
"It's okay, make yourself at home," she said. "Let me prepare a bath for you." With that, she left Ethan alone, giving him space to take in his new surroundings.
Ethan's gaze wandered around the cozy interior of Lilith's home, taking in the classic furnishings and warm ambiance. "This house seems pretty... classic," he murmured, feeling an inexplicable sense of comfort.
"System," he whispered, and the holographic window from earlier popped up, displaying his stats:

"Nice!" Ethan said in excitement as he gazed at his stats he still couldn't believe what was happening, even though he was really weak couldn't help but be happy.
"Ethan your bathe is ready~" Lilith called out in an alluring tone, as he stood up a notification sounded and the screen appeared.
