[TS] Became a Peach Saint – Chapter 25

After pondering over the three skills, I finally made a choice.

“Let’s target a strategic stronghold that can move in both directions.”

[Nose]: The appearance of the nose becomes more beautiful. The skill level increases with each purchase.

[Price: 100,000 won]

My fingers danced elegantly through the air.

In just a few days, my fingers had become so skilled that even a sewing machine would be jealous.

“Let’s get high on this drug!”

[Ding!][Ding!][Ding!][Ding!][Ding!]

“Damn, I just spent 3.1 million won in one second.”

[Nose Lv.5]: The nose’s appearance becomes beautifully harmonious with the body.

[Max Lv]

This time, the description changed from “becoming beautiful” to “becoming beautifully harmonious with the body.”

Touching my nose, I felt something different and rushed to the bathroom to look in the mirror.

“Wow, damn… This is definitely the drug.”

The transformed nose was really pretty and cute.

It wasn’t uncomfortably high or unattractively low.

It had a perfect height and shape.

It was the ideal nose for a perfect beauty.

While I was mesmerized by the beautiful nose, I turned my gaze from the strategic stronghold to look up and down. Above, my eyes were filled with gunk, and below, it looked like it had been split by a direct hit from a ballistic missile.

“Damn… This is really messed up.”

“What’s next? Eyes? Mouth? What should I do first?”

Seeing my face, which had gone crazy on both sides despite the pretty nose, I fell into deep thought.

“Oh, right. Damn, the status window!”

[Ding!]

[Remaining Amount: 17.69 million won]

From the 19.05 million won I received in sponsorship, plus the 1.74 million won I already had, totaling 20.79 million won, after spending 3.1 million won on the nose level-up, I was left with 17.69 million won.

“I can afford to max out both. I’m rich.”

[Mouth]: The mouth becomes more beautiful. The skill level increases with each purchase.

[Price: 200,000 won]

“Let’s get high on this drug!”

[Ding!][Ding!][Ding!][Ding!][Ding!]

Once again, my fingers danced.

As my fingers moved, smoke began to seep from the cracked lips reflected in the mirror.

Finally, with the sound of the system, a glowing pink light began to scatter like flower petals.

The chaotic, dazzling petals of light soon started to emit a sweet fragrance.

The fragrance, which had spread throughout the surroundings in an instant, began to gather back together, forming into a fruit-like shape before disappearing into my mouth.

[Peach flesh melts into your lips and tongue.]

[Ding!]

[The fruit fragments react to the peach flesh in your lips and tongue, beginning to digest.]

[Your lips and tongue are imbued with the scent of peach.]

[Your lips and tongue become even sweeter.]

─[Your lips have become Heavenly Peach (天桃).]

[Sweet marks are carved]─

[The mouth where the flesh has melted]

The lips and tongue, where the sweet peach flesh has melted, transform even the exhaled breath into the sweetness of fruit.

[Price: Conditional Transcendence]

The lips reflected in the mirror were not too big, giving off a cute vibe, but the lower lip was just plump enough to exude a certain allure.

The lips were moist as if tinted, with a transparent gloss as if coated in honey.

The wrinkles on the lips were barely visible, resembling a beautiful fruit soaked in honey, a mix of pink and red like a heavenly peach.

It was the kind of lips that even a makeup artist spending hours couldn’t make prettier.

“Damn, what is this…”

“Looks so damn suckable.”

As I puckered and unpuckered my lips, staring at the mirror, I felt something strange.

Rolling my tongue in my mouth, I sensed a sweet and tangy flavor.

“Huh…?”

I checked the skill level-up prompt and, just in case, licked my lips with my tongue. It was confirmed.

“Crazy. Did they seriously plan to turn people into peaches?”

Every time I exhaled, a sweet and tangy fragrance escaped my lips.

Feeling like something was seriously wrong, I grabbed a cigarette and rushed to the yard.

─Click,

Fumbling, I lit a cigarette and took a drag.

“Inhale… exhale─…”

The cigarette smoke swirled in my mouth, passing through those pretty lips before dispersing into the air.

“Oh! Thank goodness.”

“Thought I couldn’t have sex for a second.”

At that moment, the lingering cigarette taste in my mouth completely vanished.

“Damn… feels so refreshing. Is this an auto-cleaner or something?”

The more I smoked, the more it felt like peach-flavored smoke was flowing into my mouth from the cigarette filter.

“Oh right, I switched to fruit-flavored cigarettes.”

“Phew, almost forgot.”

Facing the risk of becoming impotent, my brain automatically started self-hypnosis.

“Whew─ a cigarette that keeps refreshing me is nice. Damn it.”

After putting out the cigarette that had burned down to the filter, I headed back inside.

Passing the kitchen on the way to my room, I suddenly thought of cup noodles.

“Ooh, I could totally devour some refreshing peach ramen now.”

“…Hell no, that’s not happening.”

If I ate peach ramen, I’d probably lose my mind, so I quickly filled a pot with water and placed it on the stove.

While waiting for the water to boil, I stared blankly at the pot and muttered a prayer.

“My body’s turning into a peach, and now even my food has to be peach-flavored?”

Once the water boiled, I poured it into the cup noodles and carried it to my room.

While waiting for the noodles to cook, I couldn’t resist and took a bite of the undercooked ramen.

Picked up the chopsticks.

─Slurp, slurp.

It seems the desire to feel even a slightly stronger taste translated into action, as the sound of slurping noodles echoed loudly through the room.

“Phew… Damn, at least that’s a relief.”

After putting the noodles in my mouth and blowing on the broth before gulping it down, I could feel the rich flavor of the ramen.

After swallowing the noodles, my mouth was momentarily filled with the scent of peaches, but the stronger the food’s flavor, the longer it seemed to linger in my mouth.

As I ate, I started to feel hungry, so I thought this much was fine and even finished the broth.

“Phew… It’s like taking a bite of ramen and then a piece of peach, over and over.”

After cleaning up the finished cup ramen, I headed to the bathroom.

Looking at my eyes reflected in the bathroom mirror, they looked like rotten fish eyes.

It was like looking at a sky full of dark, gloomy clouds.

“Everything except my eyes looks pretty, but these eyes just ruin it all.”

It was like dropping a single drop of black ink on a pure white canvas, completely ruining it.

My eyes, with their strong impression, looked like they belonged to someone who had been stranded on a deserted island for about ten years and gone completely insane.

“Hmm…”

I hesitated for a while, looking at my nearly dead eyes.

“Can I really keep taking pictures like this…”

I closed my eyes gently and thought about it.

“I’ll probably end up screaming at the status window again.”

[Ding!]

In my imagination, the system sound rang out.

“I’ll probably find another skill with a crappy description.”

An unnamed skill popped into my head.

[Skill]

“I’ll be like a drug addict, unable to resist and frantically waving my fingers.”

[Ding!] [Ding!] ····

“Damn, then the price will be…”

[Your butt becomes sweet]

“Ahhh, damn it! This is really messed up.”

[Your anus becomes sweet]

“Damn, won’t it go away?”

“Sigh…”

Looking at the mirror, I saw my eyes still filled with dark clouds, indistinguishable between blue and sewage water, blinking like Ping-Pong balls.

Staring blankly at the mirror, my eyes looked like they belonged to a mental patient, but I decided to proceed, thinking even having a peach seed stuck in my eye would be better than this.

“Damn status window!”

[Ding!]

“Ding, my ass.”

In front of me, I saw the last remaining skill I had chosen.

[Eyes]: Your eyes become beautiful. The skill level increases with each purchase.

[Price: 200,000 won]

[Remaining balance: 11,490,000 won]

Without hesitation, I moved my hand and swung it towards the purchase button.

[Ding!]

[The dark clouds over your eyes begin to clear.]

“What the hell.”

This was the first time I saw such a message from a level 1 skill, so I was taken aback.

I was scared.

When I looked in the mirror, I noticed that the dark clouds in my eyes had slightly cleared.

I started moving my hands again.

[The looming dark clouds begin to disperse.]

As I raised my skill level, I saw a phrase pop up and quickly moved my hands.

[Ding!] [Ding!] [Ding!]

A message appeared, saying the clouds in front of me were clearing, followed by a burst of light.

The light scattered.

A clear pink beam of light erupted in the air, wildly swirling around the room before gradually gathering in one spot.

The beams of light gathered and shone as brightly as the sun.

I squinted my eyes, afraid I might go blind if I kept staring.

The glowing orb, too bright to look at, gathered toward my eyes and disappeared as if absorbed.

[The Saint’s eyes reclaim the sun.]

[Ding!]

[The fallen fruit fragments begin to react and digest in response to the reclaimed sun.]

[The Saint’s sun is imbued with the scent of peaches.]

[The Saint’s sun becomes even sweeter.]

─[Your sun clears the dark clouds of Heavenly Peach (天桃).]─

[The Saint’s eyes, holding the sun.]

The Saint’s sun, regaining its warmth, shines brightly, illuminating the Heavenly Peach (天桃).

[Price: Conditional Transcendence (超越).]

I slowly opened my eyes, which had been blinded by the blazing mass of light.

The woman in the mirror blinked her large eyes, staring back at me.

Her eyes, like gemstones named “sun,” glowed with a radiant pink light.

Her large eyes and charming features exuded cuteness and beauty, but the translucent, subtle glow in her eyes gave off a mischievous aura.

A perfect embodiment of beauty that would make anyone drool in awe.

Her pretty pink hair tried its best to radiate cuteness, but the exaggerated sway of her large chest and the mischievous glint in her eyes interfered.

Even after staring at the mirror for a long time, I didn’t get tired of it.

Perhaps because I had been staring at the mirror for too long, exhaustion crept in, and I entered the room in a daze, falling into a deep sleep.
