Chapter 81: When I Opened the Quest Progress, My Life Turned Out to Be a Shit Game
I wandered around the garden aimlessly.
Well, I used to stay up past midnight browsing adult sites back in my old life, so a "go to bed when it gets dark" lifestyle just didn’t suit me.
Even if I lay down, I couldn’t fall asleep and would just waste time.
Looking up, the stars and the moon felt incredibly close.
Maybe because there were no lights around.
Or maybe because the air was so clean.
It felt like I could reach out and touch them.
Ahhh...
It felt like a familiar starry sky.
But I didn’t recognize any of the constellations.
I lightly jumped and landed on the roof of the cathedral.
It was a bit chilly, but I lay down and stared at the sky.
I wasn’t particularly knowledgeable about constellations to begin with, and since this was another world, there was no way the same stars would be visible.
Still... why did it feel this way?
Whether it was déjà vu or nostalgia, it reminded me of the night sky I used to look up at as a child.
A planet surrounded by space, with shining stars...
Maybe this so-called "another world" was actually just another planet in the same universe.
Perhaps I got sucked into a black hole, white hole, or onahole-like thing by some coincidence and ended up on a planet inhabited by extraterrestrial lifeforms light-years away.
While I was thinking about that, the side door of the cathedral opened and Lucia came out.
She looked in a pretty good mood.
She must have sensed my gaze or presence, because she immediately looked up at the roof without hesitation.
Our eyes met. With a movement that was closer to floating than jumping, she came over and lay down beside me.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the capybaras..."
"Good for you. ...Hm?"
"...Hm?"
"You smell like capybara, Lucia..."
"Ehehe..."
"That’s not something to be embarrassed about. I said earlier that it’s not good for you to be too clean and odorless, but smelling like a beast is different..."
"Is it?"
"It smells nice when it comes from the kemololi girls, but when it’s coming from you, Lucia... it’s kinda... um..."
"Uuu... This is difficult..."
I pulled Lucia’s arm so I could use her as a meat blanket and made her lie on top of me.
I immediately realized it was a failure. Her occiput hit my nose and it hurt, plus the strong smell of capybara girl soaked into her silver hair was overwhelming.
I shifted her body a little lower.
This time my dick got pressed under her ass, which felt lewd. My cock grew hard under my long robe. Her head was tucked under my chin. This was the best position.
"What were you doing up here?"
"I was just feeling sentimental, thinking ’so this really is another world.’"
"Do you want to go back to your original world?"
"I wonder. I got to meet you, Lucia, and life here is pretty fun. The food is decent and I haven’t been too inconvenienced so far, but not having the internet is tough..."
"Internet?"
"It’s a system where girls who want to show their naked bodies to others can show their naked bodies to men all over the world."
"What the heck, that’s amazing. How does it work?"
"Um... In the world I came from—Earth—there’s no magic, but science is more advanced than here, and we can send images far away."
"I don’t really get it."
"Humans will invent it eventually."
"Hmm."
Unlike me, Lucia was a goddess, so she probably wouldn’t die easily. If she lived long enough, the internet would probably be created in this world too. Then novel posting sites would appear, anyone could freely publish their works, and eventually comments like "There are no potatoes in this era’s Nalropa!" would show up. Though most authors would probably get depressed from receiving zero comments. If it were me, I’d at least want people to write their favorite oden ingredients if they couldn’t think of anything else.
It was so far into the future that I couldn’t even imagine it.
More than that, I was more curious about tomorrow and onward.
"Do you have any plans for tomorrow or long-term goals, Lucia?"
"Nope."
"Really? Aren’t there things a goddess is supposed to do?"
"Gods don’t have long-term goals."
"Eh?"
"If I feel like increasing the number of capybara girls, I can just do it. I could wipe out any creatures that try to attack capybara girls. But if I did that, it would be a nuisance to the world. The balance would be ruined. That’s why gods don’t hold long-term goals. We just follow our desires at the moment and live freely as we please."
"Ahh. So you’re not the only one who lives however you want, Lucia."
"Hmm. Actually, it’s probably harder to live when you’re worshipped like Lalum and expected to bring world peace."
"Her followers would probably faint if they heard that."
"Are you worried about the future, Masaharu?"
"Not really. It’s not that big of a deal. It’s just... a lot has happened since I came to this world. There are several things I need to do, but I don’t know what order I should do them in. It’d be nice if I could check quest progress like opening my status screen."
"Want me to open it?"
...Open it?
Eh?
In the flow of the conversation, she meant the quest progress, right?
She wasn’t suddenly inviting me to have sex with "Want to do it?" right?
"You can do that?"
"Yeah. I can borrow the power of a god who governs fate."
"You really can..."
In web novels, opening your status is a classic trope, but is it really okay to be able to see quest progress too?
Actually, if there’s a game-like system like status open, then being able to open quest progress isn’t that strange, is it?
Lucia wiggled around on top of me and we ended up facing each other in an embrace.
"Hug me tight and say ’Quest Progress Open.’"
"G-got it."
I was still wearing my long robe, but when Lucia moved, the fabric shifted and my dick popped out completely.
The tip of my erect cock was probably touching Lucia’s pussy. I wanted to pierce this pussy someday, but right now I didn’t have the power to break a goddess’s hymen...
Feeling a bit nervous, I wrapped my arms around Lucia’s waist and chanted:
"Quest Progress Open. ...Whoa."
Letters floated in front of me like a holographic display.
It even had a very game-window-like frame.
Main Quest (Completion Rate 3%)
Sub Quests (Completion Rate 8%)
I see.
When did the main quest even start? When does it end?
My life?
I’ve only been reincarnated for a few days and I’ve already completed 3% of my life?
It looked tappable, so I tapped the text in front of me.
The screen changed.
Main Quest: Have Sex with Lucia (Completion Rate 3%)
・Help Lucia masturbate: Completed
・Help Lucia with anal: Completed
・Have Lucia praise my dick: Completed
・Have Lucia step on my dick
・Have Lucia lick my dick
...
And so on. So the completion rate goes up by doing erotic things with Lucia.
Still, "Pierce Lucia’s hymen" was probably the final boss. I’d either have to become stronger myself or obtain some legendary genital equipment.
I tapped the air to return to the main screen, then tapped the Sub Quests.

My life really was a shit game.
There were so many things to retort to that I didn’t even know where to start. Especially the latter half—it was completely insane. Where the hell was I supposed to accept these available sub quests from?
