After putting on clothes that were now mostly baggy—too big because Dennis's body had shrunk, even though he appeared proportional, muscular, and solid—Dennis sat on the sofa. He planned to skip school on the pretext that his head still hurt, even though it actually didn't. Daisy, who was already dressed, sat next to Dennis and immediately clung to him. Dennis was a bit confused seeing that Daisy was still wearing casual loungewear.
"You're not going to school?" Dennis asked.
"No, you're still sick, right? I'm going to stay with you today. I already messaged a few people at school to let them know I'm taking care of you," Daisy answered.
The two of them fell silent again, simply huddling together and holding one another. There was no television, no distracting noise—only the sound of two smartphones vibrating on the table and the distant hum of the refrigerator. Dennis continued to process what was happening. He actually wanted to ask about Daisy Number 4, who had just been intimate with him, but it would be weird if he asked since he was supposed to already know about that.
Suddenly, a hand gripped his. Dennis's eyes widened because the arm holding him was green. He immediately turned and saw Daisy transforming; her clothes were tearing slightly because her body was now becoming incredibly muscular with visible abs, her skin was turning green, and of course—just like in the game—Daisy's form was also one of the character races that could be chosen. Now, Daisy had changed into a half-orc.
Before Dennis could even process any of it, the half-orc Daisy kissed him passionately until he fell back onto the sofa with her on top of him.
"You must have forgotten about me, right? Number 1 said you have a bit of amnesia, so that's why I came out to remind you. I'm Daisy Number 6," Daisy said, smiling until two tusks from her lower jaw peeked out slightly.
And of course, one thing led to another without Dennis being able to say a word—events that simply cannot be told to keep this story under a PG-13 rating. While looking at Daisy Number 6 on top of him, Dennis once again saw the face of a girl who was truly happy and clearly loved him deeply, as heart icons appeared in her eyes, which had turned yellow.
After 30 minutes, they were finished and sat upright on the sofa again, holding hands with their chests heaving as they panted for breath. Daisy returned to her original form and looked very satisfied as she put on her glasses. She then turned to look at Dennis, who had also changed, his long hair now a complete mess.
"You've finally had your awakening. Should we just go to the hunter guild today to check out your new powers?" Daisy asked.
"Hmm... I don't think that's necessary. Besides, it wouldn't look good if I took a sick day but went out wandering around," Dennis replied.
"Okay, I'll just follow your lead. Either way, until you're recovered, I'm staying right by your side," Daisy said, hugging Dennis's arm and resting her head on his shoulder.
Dennis brushed Daisy's hair away from her face, but suddenly her eyes turned red, fangs peeked out from her smiling mouth, and her skin grew slightly pale. "Chomp," Daisy suddenly bit and sucked Dennis's blood from his muscular arm while staring at him. Dennis was completely shocked but tried not to flinch and stayed calm, because he knew exactly what kind of Daisy had appeared next to him—a half-vampire, half-human race called a Dhampir, which, of course, was also in the game.
Ultimately, conversation became brief as Daisy kept changing: Dhampir, Half-Dragon, Half-Orc, Elf, Beastman Cat, and Half-Angel—every single race that existed in the VRMMORPG Eclipse Saga.

Alright, to keep it brief—and because every personality that came out wanted to pounce on me for some intimacy thanks to my new body—let me explain exactly what Daisy is. You see, my beautiful, out-of-my-league wife, who looks so smart and elegant, with her own life and strong will, actually has seven personalities inside her little body.
And not only that, when her personalities emerge, her body changes into something no longer human. Now, here are the seven personalities of my beloved wife from the memories that have surfaced as they came out one by one to meet me—it's like I'm remembering my life in this world, and honestly, I can't even remember my old life before the "plane-kun" incident.
First, Daisy Number 1: High Human race, Sport and Sword talent, Samurai class, Student job. She's the one who always came out when I hadn't changed into this form yet, and she truly loves me for who I am.
Second, Daisy Number 2: Dhampir race, Sharp Mind talent, Detective/PI job. She's the Daisy who is incredibly good at reading people and knows exactly what to do when she finds a problem. She just declared her deep love for me with those heart icons in her eyes.
Third, Daisy Number 3: Elf race, Eagle Eye talent, Sniper job. Now, this one was totally unexpected. Same face, same body, but different ears. She can see from a massive distance and shoot with precision without even blinking. And of course, she loves me, even though she doesn't seem to like talking much—though she does love kissing me.
Fourth, Daisy Number 4: Beastman Cat race, Low Presence talent, Scout/Thief job. She's the cat-girl who appeared this morning. She's agile, can slip past and defuse alarms easily, and oh—she's also a hacker and a coding genius. She loves me, just like she said this morning.
Fifth, Daisy Number 5: Half-Dragon race, Fire Element talent, Alchemist/Scientist job. Now, if there's a mad researcher who spends her time experimenting on anyone until she's dubbed a mad scientist, it's her. She loves researching as if she's curious about everything in the world. Of course, right now she's riding me wildly and making me lose my mind; she says she loves me deeply and is ready to do anything for me, even if it means becoming a criminal.
Sixth, Daisy Number 6: Half-Orc race, Iron Body talent, Fighter job (MMA or underground). This one seems brutal; she's incredibly muscular and seriously strong. She's not too wild, she's really attentive and loves listening to others talk—especially me, because she says, just like the others, she loves me with all her heart.
And finally, the seventh, Daisy Number 7: Half-Angel race, Float talent, Exorcist job. This one is both the most terrifying and the most beautiful of them all. She deals with the mystical, having one white wing and one black wing because she exists between heaven and hell—on Earth. But besides the mystical stuff, she can also heal illnesses; not through magic, but through prayer. Of course, she loves me, and our intimacy lasted nearly an hour—the longest record yet.
So, those are all my wives packed into one body. After they came out one by one to meet me, I remembered them all, and of course, I realized I truly love Daisy, from one through seven. But right now, my feelings are a complete mess. The insecurity, inferiority, and awkwardness from my previous life are still inside me, and it's hard to let go, even though literally seven people have told me they love me and plan to be with me forever.
Beyond that, I just remembered what is actually happening in this world. Currently in Emerald City, children from age 15 up to young adults of 30 must get married. The goal? To breed. In other words, this city is an IVF Center, though the fertilization isn't done in a lab or via test tubes; instead, they marry off teenagers and young adults to prolong the human race. After that, they work in this city to sustain life here and live with their children.
My parents and Daisy's parents are in Ruby City for work—the hub of economy and business, which is also a mobile dome city that orbits the planet. We can only move between cities when they meet, but we can still communicate with them through satellite.
The state of the world? Naturally, there is nothing outside the dome cities. Everything is covered in darkness, like being in a shadow realm, and there are many monsters out there. I don't know what they look like, because in the game, the monsters were just your standard fantasy game, novel, or isekai manga types.
But according to what's taught in school—which focuses on training hunters, the city's military force—those monsters are the result of leaking nuclear radiation mixed with biological viruses from the shadow realm that mutated with Earth's living creatures, like humans, animals, insects, and plants.
When you think about it, it's truly terrifying, even if it has become the new normal for the remaining human race. But this is my reality now. And without even asking for it, I now have a wife who is way out of my league, with a bonus of six other people inside her body.

After everyone had their turn and felt satisfied, Dennis sat there, weak and helpless on the sofa, unable to move. Daisy stood up, intending to shower once more since her body was covered in sweat. She pulled Dennis along, who was also sweating buckets. Once they were both back in the bathroom washing each other off, Dennis spoke up.
"I remember everything now... honey," Dennis said.
"Thank God. I was really scared you'd forgotten me," Daisy replied, looking relieved as she immediately hugged him.
"Yeah, thanks to the others," Dennis said, holding his wife close.
"Oh, right... one thing. Can I get rid of Bella? Since she's your childhood friend, I figured I'd ask you first," Daisy said.
"Huh? Why would you do that?" Dennis asked, shocked.
"Because she likes to talk to you and is sometimes cruel to you. I don't like seeing it," Daisy answered.
"There's no need for that. Besides, she has her own family, right?" Dennis replied.
"Alright, if you say so," Daisy answered cheerfully, smiling as she hugged him.
Suddenly, the hair on the back of Dennis's neck stood up, and a chill crawled from his toes to the top of his head, even though he was standing under a warm shower. He slowly looked at Daisy, for some reason and for a split second, she looked absolutely terrifying to him. The reason was that for a fleeting moment, Daisy's eyes looked like those of a cold-blooded killer.
