Chapter 1: I Got a Body Swap Ability

“Nee! Tanuki, can I ask for your help?!” called Sakura Yuuki, the princess of Seiso Gakuen. She clapped her hands together in a pleading pose, her voluptuous breast bounced through her unbuttoned shirt. Was that intentional?

“Yes. It’s about cleaning duty, right? I’ll do it.” I had nothing better to do, anyway. After this, I’d just head home and fap to my favorite hentai collection. A thirty-minute class chore was nothing to fuss about.

Besides, getting a glimpse of those massive melons was a reward in itself. Was she aware? Did she flash me on purpose as a thank-you? I could only wonder as she darted off to join her friends. That reward felt too short.

“Thank you! I’ll leave it to you. I promised to go to the theme park this evening, so I can’t stay. See ya!”

“See ya,” I replied, waving her off. Silence returned to the gloomy classroom. While I mopped the blackboard, arranged the desks, and swept the floor, I found myself imagining how soft and huggable Sakura might be. She was ranked in the top ten most beautiful girls at school.

She looked innocent, but she had modeled for some tabloid. Her reputation, voluptuous body, and those sexy hips put her firmly in my personal top three fap materials. I wasn’t sociable enough to talk to most people, but I’d overheard plenty of classmates naming her as their number one.

“Hah…” I knew it was impossible. But I couldn’t help dreaming of resting my head on those thick thighs and seeing her bust up close. Her bright, cheerful eyes could soothe anyone’s soul.

She was the prima donna of Seiso Academy, after all.

An hour later, I finished the cleaning duty they had dumped on me. Why was I alone, you ask? I like being alone. Besides, no one else was going to help, even though it was their turn. This academy had definitely lost its seiso status. The uniform rules had gotten way too lax if they were letting Sakura dress like that. All that was left now were lazy students.

That included me, too. If no one told me to do it, I wouldn’t lift a finger either.

“Hah… What should I do after school? Homework? Nah, an AI can handle that. Most games these days are trash—too much grind. I should just scroll through some R18 novels I’ve saved on my phone.” I muttered toward the sky while browsing through some free adult novels posted by random authors I didn’t know. Hentai was fine, but it got boring fast when the story sucked. The heroine always fell to dick too quickly.

[Congratulations, you have been chosen to receive a system! Will you accept? Y/N]

“Huh? Wait… Was my phone hacked? What is this? A virus?”
A pop-up claiming to offer me some kind of power flashed across my screen. I was about to close it, but curiosity about the scammer’s trick made me hit ‘Yes.’

“The moment they ask for a credit card, I’m out,” I said with a smirk as I tapped the button. I had nothing better to do, so I figured I might as well play along with the scammer. My parents are rich—I can always get a new phone. I thought whatever con they were running might at least be entertaining.

I had no idea that supernatural forces were already at work.

A glowing text box floated in front of my eyes. I stared, wide-eyed, at the impossible sight.

[Congratulations! You have gained the system.
Enhance your power by using the system and completing missions.
Patron God Aphrodite has chosen you to be her herald.]

The box expanded, revealing several listed options.

[Stats]

INT: +0
Stamina: +0
Target: None

Power: None (!)

The system didn’t respond to my voice, but it did react when I hovered my fingers near it.
Alas, a classmate interrupted me.

“Hey, Tanuki! What are you doing there? Losing your mind from having no friends?” Sonoda, the soccer team ace, smirked as I stared into the system menu. I tried to ignore the floating interface in front of me, and it soon resized itself into a small icon at the corner of my vision.

Without saying a word to him—or anyone—I rushed home.
As usual, my parents weren’t there. They rarely are.

I collapsed onto the sofa in my empty apartment.

Now free from classmates and distractions, I opened the system again.
When I tapped on “Stats,” it expanded and displayed detailed descriptions.

“Does this mean it upgrades my real-world stats? That’s… impossible,” I muttered.
Yet I couldn’t deny it. These floating boxes in front of me were undeniable proof.

[Welcome to Power Roulette]
Spin the wheel to gain your first power:

• Body Swap

• Hypnosis

• Slave Mark

• Aphrodisiac Eye

• Tentacle Limb

A roulette wheel displayed several powers. It spun on its own and stopped on one: Body Swap.

I had no idea what was happening.

[You have been blessed by the goddess Aphrodite.
You have gained the Body Swap ability.
With this power, you may swap your consciousness to one target.
You cannot change your target.
You may add more targets after purchasing upgrades from the Shop.

Please select a target to receive missions.]

“So… I can swap into anyone I know? Wait—why are they all female?”
I clicked on the [Target] option. It showed a list of people I knew—classmates, relatives, even my parents.

My eyes instinctively locked onto the classmate who ditched me during cleaning duty today: Sakura Yuuki.
I clicked her name.

[Target has been selected.
Missions have been issued.
Complete them to gain Essence Shards.]

[Name: Sakura Yuuki
Bond: 0

Missions:

• Make the target orgasm for the first time (50 Essence Shards)

• Make the target orgasm via breasts (50 Essence Shards)

• Make the target orgasm via anal (50 Essence Shards)

• Consensual sex (Unlocks Dreamworld)

• Make the target orgasm via vaginal sex (100 Essence Shards)

• Increase Bond to 30+ (50 Essence Shards)]

I nearly choked when I saw the mission list.
I’ve never even talked to a girl, and now the gods want me to have sex with the prima donna of the school?

And why are they all lewd missions anyway?
Oh… right. Aphrodite. Goddess of love and sex. Of course her powers would be lewd as hell.

“I wonder what I could’ve done with Hypnosis… Wait.”
My mind wandered. If I’d gotten Hypnosis, I could’ve just made Sakura fall in love with me instantly.
But alas, the power was random.

Out of all the pervy powers, I ended up with Body Swap.
What the hell am I supposed to do with that?
Swap into Sakura’s body and… molest myself?

…Actually, that might not be a bad idea.

The system displayed another message.

[To swap with your target, double-tap on their name. A confirmation window will appear.
If you press Yes, your soul will be swapped with the target’s for 30 minutes.
Cooldown: 2 hours.]

[Warning: You have 0 Essence Shards.
If you do not pay a maintenance fee of 10 Essence Shards per week, the system will be revoked.]

“What?”
My eyes snapped to the yellow warning flashing in front of me.
As expected—there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. It was just like those login bonuses in gacha games.
How nefarious.

How the hell was I supposed to fulfill those conditions?

The system wanted me to get close to Sakura within a week and sleep with her.
Something I hadn’t even come close to doing in the three years I’d known her at school.

The only thing that came to mind was trapping her inside a mansion and... no.
But the mission said “consensual sex.”

Wait—did that mean it had to be consensual to her too? Not just the system?

“Oh well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll just drop it once I get bored,” I muttered.
I wasn’t about to commit a crime just for some power.
Besides, I could only swap with Sakura, anyway.

“Well, let’s try it!” I smirked and tapped her name twice.

Suddenly, my vision was swallowed by darkness.
It felt like some invisible force had yanked my consciousness out of my body.

“Eh? Where am I? Did the skill activate? Wait... this voice?”

My voice wasn’t mine.
I looked around—and realized I definitely wasn’t in my room.

The walls were pink, covered in teddy bear wallpaper.
A pile of plushies rested on the bed.
A study desk sat in one corner, a pink plastic wardrobe in the other.
The pink curtains swayed gently, hiding the bustling city beyond.

I looked down.
The blue shorts and white tank top definitely weren’t mine.
My height, my voice, the soft bulge on my chest—everything felt alien.

“Could it be…?”
I rushed to the bathroom mirror.

What stared back at me wasn’t the skinny, nerdy body I knew so well.
It was the prima donna of the school—Sakura Yuuki.

My hands flew to my chest.
Soft. Bouncy. Like marshmallows.
I grinned wide, before realization hit.

“Wait—Status!”

[Stats]
STR: +0
DEX: +0
INT: +0
Stamina: +0
Target: Sakura Yuuki
Missions: 6 available
Dreamscape: Locked
Shop: Tier 1
Power: Body Swap

“Good. That means the power is mine.”
I grinned and struck a pose in front of the mirror.
I was no longer the loser Makoto Tanaka.
I was Sakura Yuuki now.

Look at this beautiful blonde hair! These soft, seductive boobs—the very same that tempted me this afternoon.
This breedable hip.
All mine. All on display.

“Hm… What time is it? Five o’clock? Was she napping? Bit late for that, isn’t it?”
I wondered aloud.

Wait—if I’m in her body, does that mean she’s in mine?

Well, even if she is, there’s nothing in my room she can mess with.
All my important stuff is locked behind passwords.
Mom and Dad aren’t home either.

I looked back at Sakura’s bed.

Her house was empty.
And right now, that wasn’t my problem.

There was something far more important.

Time for a thorough physical examination.
Hehehe...
