Deep within the Sealed Cave, Veldora the Storm Dragon was bored out of his mind, waiting for a certain blind slime to accidentally bump into him. Yet, thanks to his [Universal Perception], he suddenly felt a sharp, intense spike of purified human energy erupting just outside his prison.
"Oh-ho?"
Veldora rumbled with amusement. A human was undergoing an 'Enlightened' evolution while simultaneously mingling auras in a highly intimate manner with the Dryad overseer of his forest. It was an incredibly curious phenomenon. While the dragon could easily project his aura outward to "prod" this strange human, he decided to sit back and watch. He was genuinely fascinated by human culture—or, at the very least, this highly unique evolution ritual.
Veldora wasn't the only one who noticed. The sudden energy spike acted like a massive flare to the highest-tier entities in the world, catching the immediate attention of Demon Lords Milim Nava and Clayman.
"What are they doing?"
Suzuki's evolution wasn't a discreet phenomenon; it was loud. While the vast majority of the world's population remained blissfully unaware, the absolute elite felt the shockwave.
Sitting in her domain, thoroughly bored, Demon Lord Milim activated her [Milim Eye], an innate ability that allowed her to measure magicules and peer into the hidden potential of anyone in the world. She immediately spotted a tiny, flashing blip on her map. It was a human who had just crossed over from another world, immediately triggered a forced evolution, and possessed a highly unusual, mathematically dense magical structure called [Etymologist].
"Hmm... what exactly is he doing with Treyni?" Milim tilted her head, intrigued. She wasn't entirely sure of the biological logistics, but she happily decided to observe their activity.
While Milim was merely curious, Demon Lord Clayman reacted with immediate, paranoid anxiety.
"What is happening?! What is hiding in that forest?!"
Clayman constantly monitored the Great Forest of Jura, patiently waiting for the perfect opportunity to exploit the region as Veldora's seal weakened. He had a grand, meticulous master plan, and he refused to let any unforeseen variables destroy it.
"If someone is trying to interfere with my stage..."
Clayman's aristocratic face contorted with dark killing intent. Using his vast spy network and magical surveillance, he had noticed a sudden A-Rank energy signature popping into existence. The fact that the signature was distinctly human—not a monster—threw a massive wrench into his calculations.
"A Sage?" Clayman frowned deeply. He absolutely despised variables he could not control. "Is he a scout from the Western Nations? Or perhaps a new Hero?"
It was the only logical explanation. Why else would a Sage—an Enlightened human—suddenly appear in the heart of the Jura Forest?
"Laplace. Yamza."
"Yes, Boss?"
"What's got you so worked up?"
"Go to the Jura Forest immediately. Find out exactly what is disrupting the magicules!"
"Huh?" the two Majin asked in unison, blinking in confusion.
Clayman didn't care about their doubts. He was too anxious. He didn't know if this Enlightened human was a spy, a rogue variable, or a vanguard for a larger army. By dispatching his elite subordinates, Laplace and Yamza, he intended to track this anomaly down and eliminate it if necessary. A mere Sage was nothing in the face of a Demon Lord's forces.
Yet, while Clayman was a brewing headache, Suzuki's evolution had triggered an infinitely larger threat.
The Western Holy Church.
"What a filthy, heretical pagan..."
The Western Holy Church operated under a strict, unyielding, and absolute dogma: Humans are the chosen children of God (Luminas), and all monsters are the enemies of mankind.
To the average person, a Dryad might be revered as a beautiful fairy, a forest goddess, or an ethereal elf. The Church did not care about biological technicalities. If you were not a human or a recognized holy spirit, you were a monster. Therefore, Suzuki's highly intimate connection with Treyni wasn't just viewed as a bizarre biological anomaly—it was prosecuted as the highest possible form of spiritual treason.
What Suzuki was doing was absolute, unforgivable heresy!
The situation was complicated by the fact that the Church was secretly ruled by Demon Lord Luminas Valentine, who strictly controlled the narrative of human supremacy. The Church closely monitored anyone approaching the level of an Enlightened or a Saint, deciding whether to recruit them as ultimate weapons or assassinate them to maintain control.
Naturally, Luminas Valentine's personal decision was simple:
"Search for him."
Luminas was genuinely curious. She wanted to know how a human could force an evolution into an Enlightened simply by having an intimate exchange with a Dryad.
However, her personal curiosity differed vastly from the fanaticism of the Church's magical division, who literally recorded his evolution as a dark, pagan ritual. Because Suzuki had evolved while intertwined with Treyni, the priests immediately assumed he had entered into a forbidden, demonic pact, sacrificing his human purity to draw power from a monster.
"Kill him! Sanction the pagan! We cannot let this heretic corrupt humanity!"
Their violent reaction might have seemed exaggerated, but they understood the terrifying potential of an Otherworlder. Japanese Otherworlders were highly prized by the Church as humanity's ultimate living weapons. For one to drop into the world and immediately bond with a monster general was seen as a devastating betrayal of his own race.
If he could evolve into a Sage by sleeping with a monster, he was too dangerous to be left alive. The Church's higher-ups quickly notified their most powerful executioner: Hinata Sakaguchi.
"How utterly disgusting..."
Despite her breathtakingly beautiful face, Hinata Sakaguchi's expression radiated absolute, freezing coldness. Her disgust wasn't driven by biological puritanism, but by ruthless pragmatism and her unyielding adherence to the Church's laws. Upon receiving the report, she didn't feel emotional horror; she felt cold, calculated anger.
She knew exactly how dangerous her fellow Japanese Otherworlders could be. Seeing one immediately fall into the "clutches" of a monster—in her eyes, she assumed Treyni had magically seduced and brainwashed him—made him a critically compromised threat.
While Luminas only wanted to find him out of curiosity, Hinata had already labeled him as [Corrupt]. To Hinata, he was a powerful human asset who had surrendered to the enemy.
She issued a quiet, immediate order to her elite Crusader squads.
"Locate the rogue Otherworlder in the Jura Forest. Execute him before he can share human knowledge with the monsters."
With that single command, the execution order was set. She no longer saw him as a person, but as a rabid dog that needed to be put down.
Meanwhile, completely oblivious to the fact that he had just kicked a global hornet's nest, Suzuki was happily enjoying himself in the depths of the forest.
His body felt incredibly liberated. The lingering stress of being transmigrated, nearly eaten by monsters, and forced to adapt to a new world fueled his primal urges, driving him to thoroughly conquer the beautiful Guardian of the Jura Forest!
Having her in his arms felt entirely different from any mortal woman. Her body was impossibly soft, and her natural scent—like sweet blooming flowers and morning dew—was intoxicating.
Her insides are literally otherworldly, he thought, panting heavily.
Fortunately, I evolved into an Enlightened...
If he were still a normal human, he was certain he would have been drained into an empty husk and died of exhaustion by now. Yet, Treyni was undeniably addicted to the feeling of having him inside her, refusing to let him go.
Without a doubt, Treyni was taking her job as the Guardian of the Forest incredibly seriously—she was bravely protecting everyone else in the world from this absolute demon of a man~!
"Hnh~!"
The forest was far from quiet, echoing with her breathy cries as she "fought" him with all of her might. And naturally, her younger Dryad sisters, sensing the massive magical fluctuations, had gathered in the canopy, curiously watching the two of them from nightfall straight through to the morning.
Suzuki was thoroughly enjoying his new life, never once expecting that the most powerful beings in the entire world were currently watching his every move.
And in that exact same moment, in a dark cave not too far away... a cute little ball of blue slime was quietly reincarnated into the world~!
