I Died and Was Reincarnated as a Goth Femboy

Kenjiro walked out of the wyrm's cavern, brushing the sand from his silky white outfit. He was unharmed, triumphant, and holding a new, powerful sense of influence he hadn't realized he possessed. He made his way back to the caravan, which was waiting nervously, his party ready to charge in and rescue him at a moment's notice.

"BOMBOM!" Lyrielle cried out in relief as he approached.

"My lady! You are safe!" Gluteus boomed, lowering his shield. "We were prepared to lay siege to the very sands to ensure your safe return!"

Kenjiro waved a dismissive hand, trying to look cool and unfazed, even as a light blush touched his cheeks from the attention. "It's fine. I handled it." He explained the situation—the Wyrm Queen's loneliness, the mockery she faced online, and how he'd used his platform to turn her into an overnight sensation. "Basically, I'm a matchmaker now," he finished with a shrug.

His party stared at him, a mixture of awe and bewilderment on their faces.

He then leaned in close to Gluteus, whispering conspiratorially. "Hey, you know that one comment from the stream? About throwing the nerd into the sand for 1,000 Femboy Coins?"

A wide, delighted grin spread across the giant knight's face. "It would be my pleasure to assist you, my lady."

Without another word, Gluteus marched over to the rear skiff, where Matsui was still peering out from behind a crate. With one massive hand, he plucked the wannabe waifu from the skiff, lifted him high into the air, and, with a gentle but firm toss, sent him flying into a nearby sand dune. Matsui landed with a soft poof, disappearing into the sand up to his waist.

The entire caravan, from the party to the merchants, burst into laughter. The livestream chat, which Kenjiro had kept running, exploded with cheering emotes and a flood of Femboy Coin donations.

Matsui struggled for a moment before wriggling himself free, covered head to toe in sand. He stood up, brushed himself off, and struck a pose of pure, unadulterated ecstasy.

"THIS IS AN HONOR!" he screamed, his voice filled with a terrifying joy. "TO BE THROWN AROUND BY BOMBOM'S PARTY! I LOVE YOU, BOMBOM!"

Kenjiro just stared, a deadpan expression on his face. This guy really has some problems, he thought to himself as the chat continued to laugh and comment on the bizarre spectacle.

With the wyrm threat neutralized and their stalker temporarily... discharged... the rest of the journey was surprisingly peaceful. They traveled for another day, the endless dunes finally giving way to the lush, green paradise of the Oasis of Al'Khem.

The lead merchant, Omar, paid them their staggering reward, his face full of gratitude. "We could not have done it without you, Sir Bombom," he said, bowing deeply. "You are a credit to your guild."

As the party prepared to find lodging in the oasis city, Kenjiro looked out toward the horizon, in the direction of the black pyramid he had seen in his vision.

The party found comfortable lodging in a lavish inn at the heart of the Oasis of Al'Khem, a welcome respite after the scorching journey. But Kenjiro couldn't rest. The image of the man chained in the pyramid was a constant, nagging presence in his mind. He gathered his party in the inn's common room.

"Alright, new plan," he announced, trying to sound casual. "We're going to that black pyramid I saw in the vision."

Kaito raised an eyebrow. "But didn't pretty-boy-03 say he'd already been there and found nothing?"

"Yeah, well, he's probably just trying to keep us away," Kenjiro lied, thinking fast. "A place that important, that well-hidden? It has to be filled with treasure. Ancient artifacts, gold... loot."

DragonSlayer69's eyes, which had been glazed over with boredom, suddenly sparkled with a greedy light. "LOOT?" he exclaimed, before quickly composing himself and clearing his throat. "Y-you know," he added wistfully, "we could have had some nice worm girls..."

"It is not about the girls, but about the job," Gluteus Maximus stated firmly. Lyrielle nodded in quiet agreement.

"Oh~ I don't care about girls," Kaito purred, zipping over and wrapping his arms around Kenjiro. "I have Bombom."

Kenjiro's face went crimson as he pushed the fox femboy away. "S-stop! No hugging! Let's go to the pyramid!"

They set off the next day, trekking deeper into the Great Sand Sea. As the colossal black pyramid loomed on the horizon, a figure wrapped in desert robes seemed to materialize from the shimmering heat before them.

"You seek the Pyramid of the Sun," the mysterious man said, his voice a dry whisper. "Be warned. What hides inside is a guardian of immense power. A beast of judgment they call Anubis, a dog of war that can easily destroy all who trespass." He paused, a strange glint in his hidden eyes. "At least, that's what the legend says." And with that, the man turned and walked away, vanishing into the heat haze as if he were never there.

The party exchanged uneasy glances, but Kenjiro's resolve was firm. "Ignore him," he commanded. "Let's go."

They entered the pyramid through a massive stone archway. The air inside was cool and still. Kenjiro, ever the content creator, had his hover-drone active, the livestream already broadcasting their every move. The initial corridors were filled with weak, skittering spiders and large, hissing snakes, which the party dispatched with ease.

Then they entered a large, flooded chamber. From the murky water, the heads of giant crocodiles emerged, their eyes cold and ancient. Kenjiro let out a yelp of pure terror and immediately scrambled behind Gluteus, peeking out from behind the giant's back.

"You guys handle this!" he squeaked.

His party sighed in unison and waded into battle. Gluteus's shield took the brunt of the crocodiles' powerful jaws, DragonSlayer's sword found purchase in their softer underbellies, and Kaito's fireballs boiled the water around them.

The livestream chat, meanwhile, was having a wonderful time.

LMAO HE'S SO SCARED!

Look at him hiding! So cute!

Aww, our brave leader is afraid of some little lizards.

Here's 500 Femboy Coins for your bravery, Bombom!

Kenjiro blushed furiously, hiding his face behind Gluteus's massive frame as his party finished off the last of the giant reptiles.
