Shattered (2)

"Umm… is that all of it? Or… is there something under it?"

Mikey blinked, puzzled for a moment .

'Huh?'

For a second, he didn't even register what she meant. His brain tried to process her words, but the insult just didn't click.

Then, as he raised his head, looking at her with a puzzled expression, it hit him.

'What did she...Wait… did she just diss my…?'

His confusion deepened as Gina let out a small, amused giggle—one of those short, soft laughs that weren't full-on mocking but carried just enough embarrassment for him.

It was like she was laughing for his sake, as if she was the one embarrassed on his behalf.

'What's so funny...did I do something funny?'

Before he could even come up with a response, she turned away, fixing her lingerie back into place. She didn't even look at him again—just gave a short scoff, spat at the ground near his feet, and said.

"Didn't they tell you? No boys allowed. Get out of here and don't come back until you've actually grown a bunch down there."

Mikey felt his soul leave his body. It was one thing to insult a man, it was another to insult his jewels. That level of jest was simply unforgivable.

"Wh-"

But before he could even protest, the world around him shifted.

The once-bright lights from before—the very ones that had blinded him when he first entered the novel—flared to life again. Soon, the entire room was swallowed in that blinding glow, erasing everything in an instant.

And in due time— The world snapped away.

A few moments passed before, Mikey's body jolted as he opened his eyes.

His surroundings had changed. The luxurious medieval novel-world bedroom was gone. Instead, he found himself back where he had started—standing on the same old school field. The sounds of distant chatter and rustling trees returned, grounding him in reality.

For a second, he stood there, stunned as his mind was clouded by several thoughts.

'Huh…? What just happened?'

Then he felt it—the weight in his hand. His phone.

He glanced down at the screen, which still displayed the novel, and atop the book's information, a message hovered over it in bold text.

[Objective Failed. Please select a lower difficulty for efficient use of the model.]

Mikey stared at it, for quite a while actually.

Then, slowly, he exhaled and muttered.

"...What the hell?"

His eyes flicked to the novel app on his phone. The novel was still there, but— The 'Read Now' button was gone.

His brows furrowed.

"Wait… where's the 'read now' button? No fair. Does that mean I can't try again?"

He scratched his head, frowning.

'Well, that sucks.'

Still, the insult he had just received echoed in his mind. He had never been roasted like that before.

Well, he was eighteen, for crying out loud! He was confident in his size! Who the hell was she to say he wasn't packing?!

But… putting his bruised ego aside, at least now he knew how things worked. He had completely underestimated the difficulty. If he couldn't even handle 'Normal Mode' then what would the harder levels be like? For example, the difficult level.

He wanted to try again, atleast for the sake of his pride, but… maybe he did need to restrategise .

His mind started working.

First things first, he needed to get better at harem, and to do that, he needed experience. Viz, he had to ask himself these questions.

'who would be the easiest person to satisfy and complete the objective?'

He returned back to the bench, and leaned back on it, tapping his chin. A short moment filled with critical thinking passed, and then, a thought struck him.

'...A virgin.'

The moment the idea formed, he knew it was brilliant. A virgin had no real experience. Maybe she had seen things or heard about them, but she wouldn't have any real expectations.

That meant—

'Size didn't matter...well, as long as I'm not tiny… right?'

Also, She wouldn't have anything real expectations for him. So he could act like a pro even if he wasn't.

And, he could experiment on her, and she wouldn't know if he was doing it wrong or right.

A virgin was the perfect target.

Mikey smirked.

'Perfect.'

Now the question was—where the hell was he supposed to find a virgin on webnovel?

Surely writers didn't go around naming their books about virgins...or did they?

He pulled out his phone,and tapped on the search bar.

With a smirk, he typed-

"Virgin."

The results loaded instantly, and—

"...WHAT THE HELL?!"

Mikey's eyes widened as he scrolled.

The sheer amount of insane novel titles was beyond anything he had expected.

"My Innocent Virgin co-worker is a werewolf."

"Training My Virgin Fiancée."

"The Billionaire's Naive Virgin is a hottie."

It was so bizarre to him. He loved harem, but those novel names sounded more like adult movie titles to him than webnovels.

'Authors were really out here naming novels anything.'

He scrolled further, both horrified and amazed.

But then—he saw it.

A title that stood out among the rest.

"My Virgin Step-Sister Wants Me Bad."

Mikey froze.

"...Ain't this just straight-up porn?"

For a moment, he just stared at the screen.

But then… a slow realization crept in.

This novel… fit all the criteria.

It had an 18+ tag. The synopsis was exactly what he needed. The MC's goal? His stepsister wanted him, and he had to resist… or not.

Mikey's lips curled into a grin. This was perfect.

The cover photo even sealed the deal—it was of a hot girl with just the right amount of curves. Slender, but with busty bosoms and a nicely curved posterior.

She wore a tight, short dress, something that screamed "forbidden temptation."

He tapped on the novel, ready to jump in.

But then—he hesitated.

Because another thought crossed his mind.

'Wait… why am I rushing in?'

Regardless of everything, he still had peeping hours to enjoy.

Mabel.

That's right—he still had his original goal. The girl he had been obsessed with seeing naked for ages.

Why rush into a novel when he could still enjoy some real-life eye candy?

The virgin novel wasn't going anywhere. But Mabel? His window of opportunity was limited.

Mikey leaned back, weighing his options once one.

'Hmm...so basically, I could either enter the novel and get it over with...sex included, or...Sneak into the girls changing room for peeping hours and then enter the novel later.'

He rubbed his chin. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't do both at once, so he was left with a decision to make.

However, it wasn't a question worth thinking. In no time, he muttered his decision softly.

"I choose...sex...obviously!"

A slow, mischievous grin spread across his face as he turned to his phone.

"Well...Here we go."

With a light tap, he clicked on the "read now" button. And in no time, the same bright flicker of light glowed afront of him blinding his gaze in a swift manner. And then, he was gone.

"What the hell are you looking at?" A feminine voice called out.
