Snap!
Luckily, maybe because the delinquent girls weren't that strong, the belt tying my hands came loose.
I hurriedly pulled up my underwear and Adidas shorts, untied the hoodie binding my legs, and put it back on.
"Kid! Are you okay?!"
The men running toward me with flashlights and whistles shone their lights on me and asked.
Judging by their concern for my safety, they didn't seem like thugs—thank goodness.
Calming my racing heart, I replied as steadily as I could.
"Oh, yeah. I'm fine."
"Really? Whew, that's a relief. Good."
The oldest-looking man among them, inspecting me closely with his flashlight, lectured me like a parent.
"What's a young guy like you doing alone on this secluded path so late? What if you ran into some shady women? There've been sexual assault cases around here lately. Seriously, young guys these days just don't know how to be careful."
Uh, I think I just met those shady women.
But admitting I got sexually assaulted by girls? Kind of embarrassing.
And honestly, I didn't really suffer any harm.
I'll just play dumb.
"Oh, yeah… I was walking and didn't realize… By the way, who are you guys?"
"Oh, us? We're a neighborhood watch group patrolling this area because it's been dangerous lately. Men have to protect our own bodies—we can't keep relying on women forever. Anyway, it's late, so we'll escort you to the Seokchon Lake entrance. Go home, kid. You could really get into trouble. And why are your clothes so short? Your pale skin's all exposed. A guy's gotta know how to value his body. Man, if you were my son, I'd break your legs before letting you wear short shorts out late like this."
What the—wearing shorts at night is a leg-breaking offense?
What a weird old guy.
I tried to refuse their help and go home alone, but they insisted, so I ended up walking to the lake entrance with them.
I'm not some elementary school kid—what is this?
But as we walked, I thought about it, and today had been weird all day.
Completely different from usual.
Even now, strolling by Seokchon Lake, I didn't see any guys out exercising at night.
The few men I spotted were all with their girlfriends.
But women out for night exercise? Too many to count.
Jogging, biking, walking dogs or cats.
Where'd all the guys go? All I've seen today are women.
Man, something's seriously off with the world. Weird.
Creak!
I got home and carefully opened the front door, slipping into my room.
Hearing over and over that guys need to be modest made me self-conscious.
If Mom caught me coming back this late, I'd probably get whacked with a spatula again, so I opened the door as quietly as possible.
Luckily, there was no sign of Mom—she must be asleep.
Click!
I pressed the button to start my desktop computer.
My parents bought it for me when I got into university to study hard, but now it's just for gaming.
The cool startup screen popped up with the password prompt.
978280
I typed in the password and opened the Google browser.
Then I went to Naver, Korea's top search site.
I used to stick to Microsoft Explorer, but at some point, Google became more convenient, and now I use it for everything. Habits are scary.
Once the Naver page loaded, I started typing the things I'd been thinking about.
Gender ratio in South Korea
Current situation in South Korea
Global gender ratio
Men in South Korea
Women in South Korea
I searched a few keywords.
But—
What the hell!
The insane info that kept popping up short-circuited my brain.
I couldn't think straight—it was that shocking.
I double-checked the date, but it definitely wasn't April Fool's Day.
Fuck!
What is this? What's wrong with the world?!
There's no way someone hacked Naver, Korea's top search engine.
I re-searched my keywords, but the results were the same.
According to what I found, the current world had an absurdly high ratio of women to men.
A 10-to-1 female-to-male ratio.
Ten women for every one man.
I dug into the reason for this.
It started exactly ten years ago in China.
A man who ate raw beef got infected with a bizarre disease that turned him into a woman.
The international health organization Whole dubbed it the Transformation (TS) Disease.
This insane disease, TS, started in China but was airborne.
So while it began there, it soon spread worldwide.
It became mandatory for all men to wear masks.
At the peak of TS, men couldn't even go to work or eat out, fearing infection.
Gatherings of five or more men were banned.
But despite these efforts, TS spread like wildfire.
It hit India especially hard because people there, overly faithful to their gods, held rallies by the Ganges River, shouting, "The gods will heal us!"
After that day, 300,000 new TS cases popped up daily.
Not just men, but women—unless they were lesbians—lived in fear of TS too. As the gender ratio tilted heavily toward women, men became rarer and rarer.
Unless a woman was celebrity-level gorgeous, dating a guy even once in her life became nearly impossible. Plus, with fewer men, women had to serve in the military too.
Actually, the military's core shifted from men to women.
Five years after TS emerged, the U.S.—true to its superpower status—developed vaccines to prevent it.
Pfizer and Moderna.
These two vaccines worked well enough that the world started escaping TS's terror. But they weren't perfect.
You had to get two doses within a month, and even then, they weren't 100% effective.
There was still a 10% chance of catching TS even after vaccination.
So TS became a disease the world just had to live with, like the common cold.
And the result?
South Korea now had a 10-to-1 female-to-male ratio—a gender-reversed world.
Even the few men left who retained their masculinity were weak and frail.
Most had dicks the size of a pinky finger and were as feeble as women.
Their sex drives had plummeted too.
Thanks to TS, even the men who stayed male were half-neutered.
Meanwhile, women had gotten stronger and bigger compared to the pre-TS world. They had to do the jobs men couldn't anymore.
And above all, their sex drives had skyrocketed.
Whether it was hormonal changes or a TS side effect, one thing was clear: most women in this world were horny as hell for men.
Sure, some modest women existed, but like 99% of men in the pre-TS world, most women here jerked off to porn.
If they didn't relieve their urges, their pussies took over their brains.
And when that happened, they turned into predators like the two delinquent girls I met at Seokchon Lake—eyes red, hunting for men to assault.
I dug into more info, but aside from the gender reversal, the world didn't seem that different from the one I knew.
Haah…
I let out a sigh.
And then it hit me—why I'd been able to fuck Hyung-joon's mom so easily.
Why women reacted to me the way they did.
In this world, to them, I was a damn tasty dick.
A sexy dick they desperately wanted to fuck.
That aside, how the hell did I end up in this gender-reversed world?
Well, how could I know what a god decided?
Anyway, my parents were still here, and it seemed only I'd been dropped into this parallel gender-reversed reality.
And thinking about it compared to the pre-reversal world—
This place was paradise.
No military service for men.
Easier to get jobs.
And best of all, I could fuck hot women whenever I wanted.
Fuck!…
Now that I think about it, isn't this like heaven for me?
Yeah, okay. I get how this world works now.
A gender-reversed world.
Living in a harem with a 10-to-1 female ratio—I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. Plus, since most guys here have tiny dicks, me—already well-endowed in the old world—I'm basically the king of the jungle here!
No wonder they all lost their minds once they tasted my big dick.
After screwing around with pinky-dick losers, they finally got a thick, massive one.
Of course they'd lose it.
Now I get why Hyung-joon's mom and that pure-looking, long-haired delinquent girl reacted like that during sex.
Katalk, katalk incoming!
I was lost in happy thoughts about what to do tomorrow when my phone buzzed.
I picked it up and opened the Katalk app.
The chat window popped up.
[Son Na-eun: Si-won-ah… Please reply. I can't sleep, I'm so worried. You're okay, right?]
Haah…
I chuckled to myself.
Hyung-joon's mom.
It's not that she's worried about me—she can't sleep because she misses the taste of my big, lively eel dick.
