When innocent 19-year-old Ella joins the Hucow Medical Institute, she gets a lot more than she expected: intense medical examinations, a dominant doctor, a demanding older man to be her sugar daddy, and a body that will be newly transformed to meet all of their—and her own—creamy desires.

When Mira’s home is destroyed by gods, she makes two requests to the System that sends her to another world: to be sent to an isolated forest where she can avoid the violent path to godhood, and to gain magic that helps her live and thrive in the forest.

The System strands her in a dangerous forest where half the plants are poisonous, the rivers teem with souls, and even the smallest beasts lay waste to experienced adventurers.
