Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero

Proofreader: DreaMing

A small town situated in the Kingdom of Prona.

There was a little girl who used to live there.

Since the girl's grandfather was the village chief, her family was one of the wealthy families in the village.

But the girl's home was not peaceful.

Flying dishes and obscene swear words were pretty normal, even a day to day occurrence.

The parents' affection towards the girl was nil, they only had burning hatred for her and even more towards each other.

The girl hated her home environment.

What the girl liked the most was staying outside her home.

– Neria, how are you?

—with a red-haired boy.

– Oh honey, Neria is here.

– Did she have dinner? Honey, ask her if she would like to eat together with us.

—and his family.

They always greeted the girl with a bright smile.

In fact, economically, the boy's family was not quite well-off. The boy's father made and sold chopped firewood or figurines he made, and that didn't exactly make a lot of money.

But the boy's family was the warmest one in whole village.

So the girl liked to spend time with the boy's family.

It was because it felt like a warm and secure blanket was enveloping her.

It was one fine day.

The boy's father, who went to the city to sell figurines, didn't return. The boy's mother left in search of her husband, only to never return either.

In an instant, the boy was all alone.

– Her husband must have cheated on her. Seeing that she still hasn't returned, she must be feeling ashamed to return.

– Maybe. I mean, just maybe, she has already found a new husband? So, she left this kid to die here.

– Oh man, come on. Do you even know how much the kid's mom loved that kid and his dad? The kid's mother must've fought her husband when she saw him cheating on her. Seeing that she hasn't come back, the result seems obvious.

The villagers didn't have deep pockets or a kind heart to help the orphaned boy.

Rather, envying the boy's previous happy family, they poured out their vicious sense of envy and jealousy towards the boy who had lost his blanket.

Even knowing that it would hurt the boy a lot.

Then one day, just like his parents, the boy disappeared from the village.

The girl frantically searched for the boy.

Because she didn't want to lose even that last solace that she had left. After searching throughout the forest for hours, the girl was finally able to find the boy.

The boy was sitting on the edge of a cliff.

The boy was looking at the stars and crying.

The boy was crying for his missing father and mother.

The girl hugged the boy.

Looking at the boy weeping in her arms, the girl vowed to herself.

She vowed that from then onwards she'll be the boy's blanket.

– Bang!

The sound of the stridently closed door echoed.

Neria's mind went blank.

‘W, What just happened..?'

The Angel looked bewildered and almost slipped in the air in an unusual way. Cloud, too, was suddenly floating in the air, and then, the two were thrown into a room that suddenly appeared out of thin air.

Before Neria could even react, all that she was left with was a tightly closed stone door.

She reacted and pushed the stone door with a grunt.

It didn't work.

No matter how hard she tried, it just didn't move.

Has it to be pulled instead?

But…the door had no handle.

Only then, her gaze turned to the stone door again.

It had inscriptions engraved on it.

♡~The room you cannot leave without having sex~♡

[Pending!]

As she stared blankly at the words, a single word caught her eye.

‘Sex..?'

That sex…?

“Aghhh…!”

It was then that Neria realized the seriousness of the situation. She heavily banged on the doors and bellowed.

"Cloud! Cloud! Can you hear me?! Cloud!!!"

It was useless.

Because Goddess Iris had enchanted the room to block out external noise.

No matter how earnestly she shouted or cried, her voice wouldn't reach the room.

But, Neria didn't know that.

She believed her voice could reach him through the crack in between the doors.

"Hang in there! I'll get you out of there somehow! You got it?! Wait a minute… just wait a minute!”

She didn't know how to get him out of there.

Those were words she uttered to reassure Cloud, to keep him from getting intimate with Ramiel.

Neria drew out her sword.

She aggressively swung her sword towards the stone door.

[Cross Sever]-!

[Bash]-!

[Crescent Screech]-!

She used every attack skill available in her arsenal. However, the toughness of the stone door reached her through the vibrations and passed on to her aching wrists, she couldn't even leave a single small scratch on the resilient stone door.

“Why is it so hard!”

Neria changed her strategy, with a maniacal expression on her face, she started bashing the her shield against the stone doors.

Even with her attack skills, she couldn't leave a single scratch. Much less to say about a shield—the poor thing being used in a wrong manner.

After bashing the shield a few dozen times, Neria threw the shield on the floor.

“Ophelia! Can't you ask the Goddess to open this door? You’re a saintess candidate!”

“Even if you say that, I’m not a real saintess yet… Moreover, this is something the Goddess did by her own will…”

Neria bit her lips tightly.

She turned her head away from Ophelia and looked at Eri. Eri was still on her knees, staring blankly at the floor with dead-fish eyes.

“Eri, calm down. Alright?"

"Ah..? But, big root..?”

“Eri… please…!!”

Neria grabbed Eri by her shoulder and shook her wildly. The light began to gradually return back inside Eri's eyes, who had fallen in the bleak abyss.

“Uh… uh…? Neria? W, What happened? Why are you looking so tensed? Ah? Where did Cloud go?”

“Cloud is locked in that room with the Angel!”

"Room?"

Eri turned her gaze to the room Neria pointed out for her.

Her eyes narrowed.

“The room you cannot leave without having sex…? What kind of room is this..?”

“It doesn’t matter now. The problem is that the damn doors just won't open! Eri, can you open this door? Please?"

Seeing Neria's desperate expression, Eri sighed deeply.

“Wait a minute. I will try.”

She placed her hands on the stone door and let her mana flow. Pure mana scanned the structure of the stone door. Indeed, there was magic present inside, outside and within this door.

…it possessed a magic so sophisticated that she dare not analyze.

Eri's expression hardened and she slowly retracted her hands away from the stone door.

“It can’t be done. This magic just feels out of the world, it's hard to analyze even a bit of it. Who the hell made this?”

“Goddess.”

“Ah, that's good. I almost doubted my standard.”

Eri's expression softened as she felt relieved.

Just when she was wondering how to console Neria, the inscription on the stone door changed.

♡~The room you cannot leave without having sex~♡

[Preparing!]

"Uh…?"

Preparing for…that?

Neria's expression turned pale.

Her body stilled for a moment, before she quickly rushed to the stone door and rammed on the door frantically.

"Cloud?! Is it because it feels suppressive being trapped inside!? I'm sorry! I'll quickly find a way somehow! So stop for a moment. Cloud?! Please… Cloud!!”
