"I want to fight too!"
Luceris voiced her thoughts with determination.
Leanne and Selene exchanged glances, their expressions filled with surprise.
But then, realization dawned.
After all, Luceris was a boy—or so they thought—who had only just awakened his profession. It was natural for him to be eager to test his strength. [Need to note that they thought it just an Equipment, not entirely change the gender etc]
Selene asked with curiosity, "Did you already synthesize your Dimensional Divine Gear?"
Luceris nodded. "Yes. I want to test my combat power."
Hearing this, both women grew intrigued.
Leanne spoke seriously, "I'll weaken the next group of monsters until they're hanging by a thread. Then it's your turn."
"Thanks, Sister Leanne," Luceris said gratefully.
Truthfully, going up against monsters fifty or sixty levels above you—no matter how low their HP—was extremely dangerous.
But with these two standing guard, Luceris felt safe enough to take the risk.
Soon, after passing through a field of endless blossoms and teleporting from the colossal sacred tree, they arrived in a much darker space.
The air here was still and lifeless. A crescent moon hung overhead, partially obscured by a fractured crystal sky.
"We've entered the second space…" Leanne said, leading the way with Selene guarding the rear, keeping Luceris protected between them.
Unlike the radiant sea of flowers and shimmering crystal dome from earlier, this space felt truly forgotten—bleak and broken.
And yet, the shattered sky hinted that it too had once been beautiful.
About ten minutes in, a green glow shimmered in the jungle.
"Owwoo…"
One pair of glowing eyes blinked in the darkness—then dozens more lit up.
Before their features were even visible, Luceris's interface displayed the threat:
[Netherworld Cat Demon]
Level: 60
Skill: Curse Bite
Being hit causes a cursed state. Defense drops by 80% for 30 seconds.
[Cat Demon Lord]
Level: 77
Skills: Poison Mist, Nether Poison Blade
A pack of cat demons surrounded the area, poised to strike.
Their fur was black and gray, their bodies massive, like wild beasts. Their faces resembled those of human infants, but twisted and grotesque.
Even a single glance stirred deep disgust and fear.
"Ugh, no matter how many times I see them, these things make my skin crawl," Leanne muttered, clearly repulsed.
Without hesitation, Selene froze the surroundings, locking the cat demons in a frost prison.
"Dragon's Breath!"
Leanne raised her sacred sword, red magic spiraling up the blade. In the air above, the fiery visage of a dragon formed, its breath roaring downward.
This was her first time using a full skill—before, she had relied solely on sword techniques.
"Meowwwww!!"
The cat demons howled as the flames devoured them, their fur sizzling.
Against two top-tier warriors, even monsters near level 70 couldn't put up a fight.
Leanne turned her head toward Luceris. "That was my weakest skill. Their HP is just about gone. Your turn."
"My magic is laced through the frost field," Selene added. "If anything goes wrong, I'll handle it."
With that, she dissolved the icy walls.
The scene that greeted them was chaos—injured cat demons snarling and staggering, their health nearly depleted. Yet their eyes still gleamed with bloodlust as they locked onto Luceris.
Step—
Luceris stepped forward and exhaled deeply.
He hadn't expected his first battle after awakening to be against monsters of this caliber.
The level difference was massive—one mistake could mean instant death.
He reached inward, linking to the system space. A divine glow erupted around his body.
He began to float, wrapped in brilliant pink light.
Leanne and Selene stared in stunned silence.
They could both feel it—Luceris's magic surged, far beyond what a level 20 should possess.
"Is this…?"
The next moment, Luceris transformed.
Elysia's Dimensional Divine Outfit manifested with a dazzling gleam. In that radiant pink aura, Luceris's body changed.
When the light faded, a pink-haired fairy-like girl stood where Luceris had been—graceful, radiant, divine.
"It feels... good," Luceris murmured, her voice softer now.
Her hair had turned a shimmering rose, her ears now pointed.
She glanced down—her chest felt heavier, the outfit tighter than expected.
But along with the changes, her magic power had soared exponentially.
So this is what a cheat feels like.
When she tried transforming at home yesterday, it hadn't felt nearly this intense.
But here, in a dungeon she had created, she could feel power continuously rising within her.
It felt as though everything here—every blade of grass, every particle of light—existed for her.
A world under her control.
"Luceris… you… you you you!?" Leanne stammered, eyes wide.
Neither of them had expected this.
They had thought Dimensional Divine Equipment was just powerful armor.
But this—this was a full transformation.
Luceris wasn't just stronger—she was someone else entirely.
And not just anyone.
She had transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful girl, exuding an aura both mysterious and divine.
She was stunning before—but now, she was spellbinding.
Selene blinked in disbelief, then glanced down at her own modest chest.
"…Sister Leanne, this is weird. Luceris's… hers don't look fake at all…"
Leanne, too, was caught off guard. It was hard to not notice.
"Wait... is she actually a real girl?" she murmured.
Selene's shoulders slumped. "I'm gonna cry. Are kids these days just... this well-nourished?"
