4: Crossroads

And as Maimoun headed towards the luxurious room, followed by the girl to extract whatever information he could from her, suddenly a window, much like the windows in role-playing games, appeared before his face unexpectedly and without warning.

[Congratulations on achieving your deep desire; God has always watched over His servants and their secrets, and He has seen your patience through the ordeal you've been in. Thus, He has bestowed upon you the dream that was deep in your heart, which is to live in another world.]

"Whaaaaaat!!!?"

The girl was startled by Mu'mun's scream without any apparent reason, even taking a few steps back.

"Is... Is there something wrong, young master?". She asked, worried that something had happened to him.

"Hah? No, nothing happened... Go now, I just remembered something I need to do, and when I'm done, I'll make sure to call you."

The girl knew that something had happened with Mu'mun, otherwise he wouldn't scream like that out of the blue. She also realized she couldn't ask him what was wrong; if he wanted to talk about it, he would, and if he didn't, her insistence would only anger him, and that would worsen their relationship, which had finally shown signs of improvement. So, she couldn't give in to her curiosity to satisfy it.

"As you wish, yong master."

Maimoun noticed the sadness and anxiety clearly evident on her enchanting beauty face , which made him feel guilty, so he wanted to reassure her a little.

"Don't worry, I'm really fine, and I really want to get to know you. So when I'm done with this urgent matter, I'll make sure to call you."

"Really, young sir!"

Maimoun gently took the cold, small girl's hand and said, "Believe me, I don't want to miss the chance to get to know someone like you, but there's something urgent I must attend to right away."

Maimoun wasn't lying to her at all. The first time he asked her to come with him to the room where he woke up was not only to gather information from her but also to get to know her. After all, if someone saw such enchanting beauty and didn't try to get close to her, they would simply be blind.

"Uh... Alright, young sir."

The girl fair face, already now displayed a hint of a gentle blush due to shyness and embarrassment, enhancing her beauty even more.

'What beauty she possesses, unlike any I've seen in my life... Damn, how could I fall for a girl to this extent in less than a quarter of an hour? Am I so easily swayed?... No, no, only the blind would be immune to such a beautiful and gentle girl.'"

"Alright then, go now."

The girl nodded shyly with a blush on her face, unable to even look directly into his eyes before she turned and fled.

"Lucky me to have the chance with such a girl," Maimoun couldn't contain his joy.

"Anyway, there's something more important than thinking about my love life and my lower parts."

Maimoun lowered his head to look between his legs and sighed, wondering about himself.

"I can't believe this is happening to me now, in this situation I find myself in... at least I won't fear being a failure with my future wife."

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

Then he went to the place where he felt safest in this world, the room where he found himself for the first time.

Upon entering, he closed the door behind him and went to one of the chairs there to sit down and continue reading the manuscript that had appeared before him and continue from where he left off.

[This is the world you always dreamed of in your pink dreams, a vast world filled with various natural landscapes that captivate the eyes without pollution from factories or cars or anything of the civilization you knew, because there are alternative energies here waiting for you to discover them. It's not a place for humans only...]

"Not a place for humans only?!" Maimoun couldn't help but swallow his saliva, anticipating what he would read next.

[There are many other races like elves, dwarves, half-beasts, mermaids, and majins...]

Maimoun couldn't help but jump out of his chair with excitement to experience this life, thinking only of the novels he read about the description of the enchanting beauty and extreme femininity of the elves, not to mention the half-beast clan with their sleek, smooth fur, or the cat clan with their graceful bodies, or the mermaids who rival the elves in beauty... then he noticed, once again, his mistake. He had given his lower part a wrong warning that it was time for its duty.

"Damn me and my perverted mind, even though I told myself not to start thinking about my lower parts... but who am I lying to? It's every man's dream from novels to meet his dream girl from the elves and make her submit to him."

.....

"It's okay, it's just my mistake. Just go back to sleep, it's a false alarm."

.....

"I know I have to find a wife, but you know my financial situation."

.....

"What? How can you say that? I know you're tired of bachelor life, but marriage takes a lot of money."

.....

"I know a lot of my energy is wasted because of that, and I also know that I must make use of that wasted energy for better things. I'll try instead of wasting my effort to find a solution as soon as possible."

Maimoun soon noticed what he was doing, which made him cough to hide the absurdity of his action.

"Ahem.. Ahem... I have to stop imagining such scenarios even if they're somewhat entertaining... Damn the hospital for making me do this." Maimoun smiled with little cunning as he remembered the ridiculous things he did to avoid boredom while alone in the hospital room.

"But speaking of beauty, will the elves be as beautiful as the gentle girl, or even more so!!!? Anyway, it seems I'll enjoy my time here and won't be afraid to indulge because it's simply a dream, and I won't be held accountable for my actions in dreams, right? Well, let's continue reading."

[And other races are all present in this world, it's a world full of turmoil, wars, and opportunities, so do well to not die and end the dream, and enjoy it as much as you can.]

"Hurrah!" The young man couldn't help but rise from his chair again after reading the last words. He understood their meaning, as they lifted a heavy burden from him since he read he had transitioned to another world.

"This means that unless I die in this world, this dream will never end. And more importantly, it means I haven't died in the real world, meaning I haven't left my family behind. Once I finish this dream, I'll return to them. It's simply a perfect dream that didn't burden me with anything heavy. Thank God."

Maimoun couldn't help but prostrate in thanks to God, then he rose and continued reading to find it ended there. He felt like something was missing, still unread, and he tried to swipe his finger on the window upward as he does when browsing his phone, and to his surprise, it actually worked. He found a warning still at the bottom of the screen, and below the warning were two options.

[Warning: You have been given this opportunity from the Lord, and you can choose a system to assist you in this experience, but this does not mean it can do as you please. Even if it's a gift, it's not without risks. Misusing it will turn it into a curse, and the choice is yours in your actions.]. And beneath it were two buttons, one to accept the grant and the other to reject it.

After reading this warning, Maimoun couldn't sit still until he thought deeply before pressing one of the buttons.

"Sigh, what was I thinking? Surely there's no free ride without responsibility. It's certain that what's happening now is something I never expected except in my wildest dreams, but it won't be as I imagined; playing and having fun however I want without considering the consequences?"

"What one desires and reality rarely align. I'll have the freedom to do and choose what I want if I agree to this experiment, but I must realize there will be consequences in the end, and none of my actions will go in vain, whether for good or evil. Therefore, I must be honest with myself now so as not to fall into a dilemma later because of my reckless actions, because if I am truly extravagant in satisfying my whims... then what awaits me won't be pleasant at all."

"And the question that will determine whether I agree or return to my world is: can I control my desires within the limits allowed in this world?

"What I noticed during the short time I've been here is that the first dangerous problem that came to mind when staying in this place is women. Honestly, the first two women I saw when I stepped out of the room could only be described as fantastical creatures. If one of them were in the real world, she would be the world's beauty queen without any dispute. With her appearance as a maid whose goal is to clean the house and not to seduce her master, just by looking at her enchanting beauty and her delicate body, there would be no shortage of suitors and admirers."

"As for the second... Well, I couldn't believe that a girl like her existed in reality. If I saw her on TV or the internet, I would say she's computer-generated. And this isn't just because of her icy hair color, which doesn't necessarily indicate age, or her violet eyes that look like rare jewels. It's also because of her flawless facial features, from her neither sharp nor flat nose to her perfectly sized face with its small size, to her small red lips without any lipstick, to the ivory-white skin that looks silky smooth, especially when I touched it, I was sure it was really smooth."

"Surely, I shouldn't apply what I know about humans in the original world and project it onto this world. Just by looking at this girl, I know there's a difference between the two worlds. A girl aged 12 or 13 has the skin of a newborn baby, despite doing household chores like cleaning the palace and washing clothes, which usually affect women's skin and make it deteriorate if not taken care of. Even mature women don't stray far from the girl... I wonder, how do these people sweat with such skin?"

"But wait a minute, if women in this world are like this, how will men be? And more importantly, how will I be?... And by mentioning that, undoubtedly I am now in a different world, but did I come here with my body or just my spirit?"

Maimoun hurriedly rose to search for a mirror to see how he looked in this stage, only to notice that the room's windows were still closed and darkness had enveloped the place, with barely enough light to see what was in the room.
