Synopsis
VOLUME001 Ethan's dying wish
I was left paralyzed with only a month to live, but that "9-inch" part of me was still hard as a rock. Even the sickly beautiful schoolgirl couldn't resist my "pecker," and to fulfill my dying wish, my sister even dressed up as a lady in black stockings to teach me how to "drill." What's more outrageous, the hospital nurses wanted to make a little movie with me, lining up with the head nurse at the front...
Just after coming out of the emergency room, I saw the system panel:
Name: Ethan Jones
Gender: Male
Length: 9 inches
Skill: Hard as a Rock LV1
Note: Peak human hardness
Dying Wish: To caress auntie's sheer black stockings
Task Reward Points: 1000 points
Despite my strength and stamina attributes being only at 1, and my agility at 0, only my "pecker" could lift the heavy blanket while doing squats. My face was full of question marks—what kind of bug is this system? Just because I like looking at auntie's legs, did it give me such a special skill?
Now, I have no choice. I must complete tasks to earn points and add attribute points.
However, the story actually begins 12 hours earlier...
VOLUME002 Ryan's death mission
Ryan had been diagnosed with late-stage heart disease, and as he neared the end of his life, he unexpectedly received a miracle drug from Ethan that brought him back from the brink.
But Death wasn’t ready to let him go just yet.
A year later, during a rescue mission at an orphanage fire, Ryan tragically lost his life.
But did he really die?
No, Ryan awakened a whole new system.
Wait, what? He has to be killed by five girls, one after the other?
The only way to come back to life is to die? What kind of twisted logic is that?!
But if that’s the only way to survive, then so be it...
Just, could you all not feel bad about killing me? And falling in love with me—what’s that about???
The gears of his fate quietly begin to turn...
VOLUME003Ethan's new body
Ethan has traveled back in time and gained the ability to swap bodies with a girl named Lila. What kind of story will unfold from here? Let’s wait and see...

It's the first novel that i have ever read online in my whole life specially in english language, also it's the first that i like that much. I don't have words to appreciate this novel because I think it is marvelous 🔥😍. I always craving to know what would happen next.

PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER ME Won't Ethan's story continue? How could it end like this? If there's nothing left after Ryan's end I'll stop reading.

At first, it was very interesting and new, but over time, his indecisiveness became irritating. He wants his aunt to see him as a man and not a child, yet he continues to act like a child himself.

This book is as addictive as it is fun to read. Action around every corner. As his powers grow only more mysteries are created. What's possible next!?
LV 1
Even though we are only at the beginner chapters of the novel, I can already see that this one is going to be better than Authors other novel. Can't wait how it will go. I'm willing to spend my FP's on this one
