The ugly boy held the thick rope in his trembling hands. Elias stared at the old wooden beam above him. The room was dark and small, just like his whole life. Dust floated in the thin ray of moonlight coming through the cracked window. Outside, the village was quiet. No one cared about him anyway.

He was twenty four years old but he had never lived. Born with a face so twisted and disgusting that even his father ran away the day he was born. His skin looked like melted wax on one side. His jaw was crooked. One eye sat lower than the other. People vomited when they saw him. Children cried. Adults threw rocks and called him monster.

For the last ten years he stayed inside this room. His mother left food at the door and whispered "sorry" before running away. No friends. No touch. No kind words. Just endless darkness and pain.

Tonight he decided it was enough.

Elias tied the rope into a strong loop. His hands shook but his heart felt strangely calm. He stood on the old wooden chair and put the rope around his neck. Tears fell from his ugly eyes.

"I just wanted to be seen," he whispered. "Even once."

Through the tiny window a bright shooting star flew across the sky. It was so beautiful it hurt. Elias looked at it with all his broken heart.

"If there is any god listening... please. In my next life, just let me be beautiful. I dont care about money or power. I just want to be beautiful."

He kicked the chair away.

Everything went white.

**

When he opened his eyes again, the world felt completely different.

Soft grass tickled his bare back. Warm sunlight kissed his skin. Fresh air filled his lungs with the smell of flowers and pine trees. Birds sang happily above him. Elias sat up slowly, confused.

"Am I... dead?"

He looked down at his hands. They were small, pale, and perfect. No scars. No twisted fingers. Body Smooth like porcelain. His heart started beating fast.

Elias touched his face with both hands. His cheeks were soft. His jaw was smooth and delicate. Long hair fell over his shoulders, shining like silver threads under the sun. He pulled a strand in front of his eyes. It was beautiful.

"What... what is happening?"

He stood up on shaky legs. His body felt light and graceful. Slim waist. Soft thighs. Gentle curves in all the right places. He was completely naked but for the first time in his life he did not feel shame. He felt... excited.

Elias ran to a small stream nearby. The water was clear like a mirror.

He looked at his reflection and froze.

A stunning person stared back. Delicate face with big beautiful eyes framed by long lashes. Small nose. Full pink lips. Flawless skin that glowed softly. Long silver hair reached down to his waist and moved gently in the wind. His body was androgynous and gorgeous. Narrow shoulders, slim build, but with soft hips and smooth legs that looked made for pretty clothes.

Tears filled his eyes.

"Is this me?" he whispered. "Am I... beautiful?"

[Welcome to your new life, darling~]

A smooth, elegant female voice suddenly spoke inside his head. It sounded playful and warm, like a big sister who loved teasing.

[Congratulations on your successful reincarnation, Star Denice. Your wish has been granted in full.]

"Star... Denice?" Elias said out loud, voice light and musical. Nothing like his old rough voice.

[Yes. Elias was far too rough and manly for this new you. From now on you are Star Denice. Doesnt it sound cute? Star because of the shooting star that answered your wish, and Denice because you were born to be admired.]

Star touched his face again. He smiled shyly at his reflection. For the first time he felt his own smile was pretty.

"Who are you?" he asked.

[You may call me Jezebel. I am your personal System. I will guide you through the world of Aetheria and help you grow stronger in the most delicious ways possible.]

"System? Like in those stories I read?"

[Exactly like that, but much more fun. Would you like to see your current status?]

"Yes please."

A blue screen appeared in front of his eyes.

Name: Star Denice

Race: Human (Divine Blessed)

Level: 1

Unique Skill: Divine Glamour (Awakened)

Star stared at the words. "Divine Glamour? What does that do?"

[You will discover it soon, darling. But first, let me explain this world a little. Aetheria is a land full of magic, monsters, dungeons, and powerful beings. Kings fight for land. Heroes fight for glory. But you... you have a special path.]

Star sat down on a smooth rock by the stream. The sunlight felt amazing on his bare skin. Every small breeze made him shiver in a good way.

"What special path?"

[The fastest way to power here is not swinging swords or chanting spells for hours. The strongest skills, the SSS rank ones, come from deep intimate encounters with powerful creatures and people. Dragons, ancient elves, demon lords, legendary warriors... the stronger they are, the better the skills you can harvest.]

Star felt his face heat up, no way she was talking about THAT. "Intimate... you mean..."

[Yes darling. Exactly what you are thinking. But dont worry. With your new body and my help, it will feel wonderful. And you have Divine Glamour to make everything even better.]

"But i feel like i have always been into women more than men" Star said, in his past life he had glanced through a good number of alternate porn to know the mechanics about that side and he even had a male crush for a while. But no matter he was determined to live his life to the fullest here. No restrictions.

[You will have enough opportunity to get intimate with any gender of your choice host!]

Before Star could ask more questions, a small green goblin stepped out from the bushes. It was weak, probably a beginner monster. Its yellow eyes looked at the naked silver haired beauty and it licked its lips, eyes widening. Star could see the exact moment it got a hard on.

"Ewww" he muttered

[Exactly]

"Goblin want pretty thing!" it growled and ran forward with a rusty knife.

Star panicked. He had no weapons and no clothes. He stepped back and almost fell.

Then something strange happened. A soft pink glow came from his body causing the goblin to somehow slow down, eyes becoming cloudy.

[Basic Allure activated. The weak creature is affected.]

Star didnt know what to do. He just raised his hand and the glow became stronger. The goblin dropped its knife and fell to its knees, breathing hard.

"I... I dont want to hurt you," Star said softly.

"Even though you are literally disgusting"

The goblin made a strange sound and then its body glowed. Something flew out of it and entered Star’s palms.

"Yuck! What was that?"

[Skill Harvest successful! You have obtained ’Goblin Tough Skin - F rank’]

[Divine Glamour activated.]

[Refining skill... Adding elegance and power... Success!]

[New Skill: ’Jeweled Soft Hide - D rank’ acquired. Your skin is now smoother, more beautiful, and can slightly deflect weak attacks. Pink silver glow added for extra charm.]

Star touched his arm. It felt even softer than before. A very faint pink silver pattern appeared for a second then disappeared.

"Wow..." he breathed.

The goblin shook its head and ran away into the forest, looking confused.

Star sat down again, heart racing. He had just defeated a monster without fighting. And the skill looked way better because of Divine Glamour.

[See? This is only the beginning. Imagine what you can gain from a dragon or an elf king.]

Star blushed deeply. Part of him felt shy and embarrassed. But another part, a part that had been starved for touch and beauty his whole previous life, felt curious. Excited even.

He stood up and looked around. Not far away he saw clothes folded neatly on a tree stump, probably left by some traveler or placed by the System. A white shirt that looked a bit short, black pants that seemed tight, and soft leather boots.

He put them on. The clothes fit his new body perfectly and even changed slightly. The shirt became more open at the chest, showing smooth skin. The pants hugged his thighs nicely. When he looked at his reflection again, he looked like a beautiful adventurer boy who could make hearts skip.

"This feels so good," he whispered, turning left and right. "I never knew clothes could feel this nice."

[You look adorable, Star Denice. But we should head to the nearest town. There you can find better equipment, information, and... opportunities for better harvests.]

Star nodded. He started walking along a small path that led out of the forest. His steps felt light. Every time the wind touched his silver hair he smiled.

Memories of his old life still hurt, but they felt farther away now. Like a bad dream.

"I was so ugly before," he said quietly. "People hated me. Now... I have a chance to be someone new."

[Not just someone new. Someone powerful and desired. I chose you because only someone who knew true ugliness can fully appreciate true beauty.]

Star thought about the System’s words. Maybe Jezebel was right.

After walking for almost an hour, he reached the edge of the forest. A wide road stretched ahead. In the distance he could see smoke rising from chimneys and stone walls. A town.

His heart beat faster. This would be his first time meeting people in this new body. What would they think? Would they scream like before? Or...

[Relax, darling. With your looks and Allure, they will love you. Just wait until you harvest your first real SSS rank skill. You will understand how sweet power can taste.]

Star took a deep breath and stepped onto the road. The sun was high in the sky. His silver hair shone brightly.

"I am Star Denice now," he said to himself with a small smile. "And I am beautiful."

He walked toward the town with nervous but hopeful steps. Behind him, the forest whispered with hidden dangers and promises. Ahead of him waited new friends, strong enemies, and countless opportunities to farm skills in the most pleasurable ways.
