Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

After a short grilling torture session, Katherine had finally finished cleaning Alex's entire body.

"You need to wash your underneath that skin more often, okay? No girls are going to like you if they see it."

Alex could only slowly nod in the face of Katherine, who was lecturing him on basic hygiene.

He couldn't really argue back directly, knowing all the things she was saying were true.

"And don't forget your girl's part too. How often do you wipe after going to the bathroom?"

"N-Not often."

"You have to wipe every time you use your female part to pee, okay? It's not the same as the men's one."

Alex silently nodded again.

"I'm going to check it again in the future. I better see you fully clean next time."

Seeing her not planning to give him an exact date for the checkup, Alex felt a chill travel down his spine.

"Mom... I can't really peel back myself."

Alex finally raised his concern, making Katherine blush a little as she removed his pad from his dirty panties.

"You'll get used to it... Just practice it more often."

After grabbing a fresh pair of panties and clothes for Alex, she quickly put them onto him.

"There you go... Now go to sleep for the night, okay?"

As Katherine gently carried Alex over to the bed, his stomach suddenly started growling.

"You hungry?"

Alex nodded a little.

"Let me go get you some food."

With Katherine gone from the room, Alex immediately started to attempt to sit back up.

However, the soreness quickly made him regret that idea, forcing him to lean back down on the bed.

Yet, the soreness itself also made it extremely uncomfortable to sleep, as every muscle on his body was aching.

"I'm never wearing that armor again, no matter what," Alex murmured as he tried to roll over.

But even rolling over was a little difficult, taking him way too much effort as he felt more awake than before.

Closing his eyes, all he wanted to do now was just to have the day to be over with.

"Alex, I got you something."

Katherine quickly supported Alex back up from the bed before she put a cup of milk against his mouth.

Within seconds, Alex could already tell what it was from the warm, buttery taste.

He didn't reject it as he drank it all down before she threw the cup into her pocket dimension.

"You feeling full now?"

Alex slowly nodded. He let out a small burp before she helped him lean back down onto the bed.

"Goodnight Alex... You're going to feel better tomorrow, okay?"

With the lights turned off, all Alex could do for the night was to close his eyes.

The next day...

When Alex woke up, he could feel his body completely normal.

It was almost as if all of the soreness had gone away, just as Katherine had promised.

"Finally, my period is done."

As Alex headed over to the suitcase to get out of his pajamas, he quickly noticed a little note on the table.

"We're at the blacksmith shop. We'll be back later at noon."

Looking over to the clock, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

"What are they doing over there for?"

Alex wondered as he grabbed his toothbrush and toothpaste before heading to the bathroom.

After freshening up, he went to his room to take out a book and then went down to the common area.

As he sat down at one of the tables, he quickly noticed no customer or anyone else besides the young waitress.

"You want a breakfast young man?" The young waitress asked as she approached Alex.

"That will be nice. Thank you."

As the young waitress returned to the counter with the order, Alex began reading his book.

After waiting for thirty minutes, the young waitress finally came back with a plate of food.

"Here's your pancake. Enjoy."

Putting the book back down, Alex picked up the metal knife and fork, cutting it into smaller pieces before eating it.

By the time he had finished eating, several dwarfs had entered the Inn, all buying a piece of bread before leaving.

Just as Alex was about to get a little bored reading the book, the four of them finally returned from their morning trip.

To his surprise, each of them was holding a piece of armor that looked much smaller and thinner than the one yesterday.

"Alex! We brought you new armor. It's so light that even we can wear it, and it's even harder."

As Mary rushed over with the helmet in hand, Alex got a little curious about her statement.

"All this for me?" Alex asked as he looked over to Katherine.

"Yep. All of it is for you—Custom-made by a professional blacksmith... Sorry about the armor yesterday.

I didn't realize how straining it was for your body. I should have realized that the dwarf's size and weight don't add up."

Seeing Katherine looking genuinely sorry, Alex felt a little guilty.

"It's not your fault. I was the one who probably shouldn't have tried to move so much in that armor in the first place."

---

When the six of them were all the way back in the dungeon again, Alex was already in his newly custom-made armor.

Compared to the old one, it was twice as light and covered much more angles than before.

Just tapping it with his finger, he could feel it was much more secure and tougher than the one before.

"Here's also your custom-made sword and shield."

As Katherine brought the two out from her pocket dimension, Alex was beyond blown away by the preparation she had done.

"Mom... This is too much." Alex murmured as he could feel the cost of the full set.

"Don't worry about money. You being happy is all I care about. Okay, let's finish this dungeon today."

"Finally!"

With the barrier blocking the hallway disappearing, Mary and Sophia quickly hurried Alex to move forward.

A minute later...

As the three of them walked in the dark hallway, Sophia's light spell was the only thing illuminating them.

"When is this walk going to end?" Mary complained as the hallway seemed to be just a super long straight line.

"I don't know. My mana can't even detect the end of the hallway at all. Probably just a few more minutes."

Hearing Sophia's answer only made Mary sigh, but she continued forward along with Alex in the front.

"Huh... It's not an endless loop either."

Alex murmured as he had been making markings on the floor, yet he hadn't run to a similar one at all.

"How about we stop for a bit first?" Sophia suddenly suggested.

"Sure."

The three of them quickly started examining their surroundings, trying to find a clue about the hallway they were walking on.

However, all four sides are just stone walls, with nothing particular that made it stand out.

Looking back, they could still see a dotted light on the horizon, the same place where they had come from.

"I think it really is just a long hallway," Sophia suggested.

"I guess you're right."

As the three of them resumed walking forward, the dotted light became smaller and smaller until it was completely gone.

At the same time, Alex quickly noticed that the path they were walking on had a slight downward decline.

"How long have we been walking for?" Alex curiously asked.

"No clue."

"I don't know."

Seeing both of them already losing track of time, Alex began counting inside his head as the three of them continued forward.

After counting almost over 1000 seconds, Alex suddenly stopped again.

"Wait, we have been walking at least for thirty minutes from beginning to end... Something is wrong."

"What is it, though? Should we start heading back then?" Mary asked, starting to look a little nervous.

"We can't go back. We'll just waste all our time walking this far." Sophia argued.

Seeing two conflicting arguments, the two of them turned over to Alex for a decision.

"Wait, let me test something first."

A small fireball suddenly appeared in Alex's hand, rapidly increasing in size before he threw it down the path.

Quickly, the entire hallway started to light up, traveling further down and down until it disappeared completely.

"Shit, I lost connect to it..."

Sophia immediately understood what Alex was trying to do, as she quickly cast a light spell and threw it down the hall.

Just like Alex, the spell flew down until it disappeared into the distance.

"That was like at least several miles... We're going to take forever walking this path."

Hearing Sophia's answer, Mary immediately started dragging both of their hands.

"We're going to go back! I'm not going to walk here for two hours in the dark."

The two of them looked at each other for a second but eventually agreed to Mary's argument.

They had no other answers for now other than to head back to where they came from and look for more clues.
