I Died and Was Reincarnated as a Goth Femboy

The ride back to the Femboy Adventuring Guild was a noisy affair, mostly consisting of Ryo and Kaito teasing Kenjiro, with Gluteus Maximus adding booming, heartfelt compliments that were somehow even more embarrassing. Kenjiro spent the entire trip stewing in the corner, plotting his revenge and trying to ignore the constant commentary about his "S-Tier assets."

They arrived back at the guild late in the afternoon. After a quick, final debrief where Ryo praised everyone's performance (while winking at Kenjiro), the party disbanded for the day. As night fell and Kenjiro made his way to his luxury suite, a familiar, playful voice stopped him at his door.

"Going to sleep all alone, my dear Bombom?"

It was Ryo, leaning against the doorframe with a knowing smirk. He swayed his hips from left to right, his expression a perfect blend of innocence and suggestion.

Kenjiro's face went beet red. "OF COURSE I AM!" he yelled, fumbling with the doorknob and practically diving into his room, slamming the door shut right in Ryo's laughing face.

Alone at last, he let out a frustrated sigh. He scanned the opulent room, his eyes lingering on the ridiculous pile of cosplay outfits Ryo had left for him. But sleep wasn't on his mind. There's no way I'm letting this world shape my body, he thought with grim determination. He spent the next two hours going through a grueling workout, pushing himself until his muscles screamed and his body trembled with exhaustion. Only then did he collapse into bed.

He awoke to a strange, soft sensation tickling his nose. His eyes fluttered open to find Kaito, the fox femboy, perched on the edge of his bed, his giant, fluffy tail swaying gently right in front of Kenjiro's face.

"Oh, hey! I didn't want to wake you up," Kaito whispered, his amber eyes wide. "But... since you are awake..." With a swift movement, he dropped his clothes to the floor and leaped under the covers, snuggling up to a bewildered Kenjiro.

"Wha—get off me!" Kenjiro yelped, trying to scramble away as his mind short-circuited.

Just then, the door to his suite burst open. "Good morning my cutie Bomb—" Ryo began, then stopped dead, taking in the scene. Kaito, naked under the sheets, and Kenjiro, blushing and trying to escape. A wicked grin spread across Ryo's face.

"Oh, my dear Bombom," he purred, a teasing lilt in his voice. "You refused to stay with me, but a cute fox you accepted, huh?" he said, clearly knowing Kenjiro hadn't accepted a thing.

That was it. Kenjiro shot out of bed, stomping his feet in pure rage while Ryo roared with laughter, thoroughly enjoying the chaos he'd walked in on.

After things were sorted out (which involved Kenjiro chasing a giggling Kaito out of his room), they all met for breakfast in the guild's massive, luxurious kitchen. Kenjiro shoveled food into his mouth, ignoring the playful glances from his teammates, and went straight to the gym afterward.

Post-workout, he decided to check the guild shop, a high-tech room filled with gear and consumables. His eyes landed on a small, glowing vial labeled "Titan's Essence—Strength Enhancing Juice." The description promised a significant, permanent boost to the user's strength. Then he saw the price: 10,000 Femboy Coins or 25,000 Standard Coins. He deflated. He barely had a fraction of that.

With a heavy heart, he pulled out his phone and opened LilyPad. He took a deep breath, forced a shy, cute pose he'd seen another femboy do, and snapped the picture. It went viral almost instantly, flooding his notifications, but it only earned him another 1,000 FC. It wasn't nearly enough.

"Trying to buy some juice?" Ryo appeared behind him, holding his scanner. "Let's see if all that work is paying off." He scanned Kenjiro.

"Oh, our cutie leveled up again!" Ryo smiled.

Kenjiro grumbled, upset that his strength had increased, but there was still no visible change in his musculature. Annoyed, he snatched the scanner from Ryo's hand and pointed it at him.

Kenjiro's jaw dropped. "Woah! Why are you so strong?!"

Ryo laughed. "I haven't even done many side quests lately. I'm usually too busy being a cutie." He leaned in, his eyes sparkling. "But now... I'm much more interested in you."

Kenjiro shoved the scanner back into Ryo's hands, his face flushed. He didn't want to know. He didn't want to check Kaito's stats, or even Gluteus's. He had a very, very long way to go.
