The Blonde Foreigner
People were summoned naked.
This time, there were eight men.
Two women.
The number of men had doubled compared to the first summoning.
As I was still taking stock of the situation around me, a man’s voice rang out.
“All right, listen up!”
A huge man had stood up and was bellowing at the top of his lungs.
He was enormous—so big he looked well over six and a half feet tall.
The others just stared at him blankly.
“I’m sure all of you are confused right now. But don’t worry. I’ve been through this before. So just do what I say. Understand?”
For a moment, silence hung in the air.
So he’s trying to seize control from the start?
Then another man stepped forward.
He was over six feet tall, with a well-proportioned build and lean muscle that stood out sharply.
He looked exactly like a martial artist.
He snorted when he saw the giant and said, “What bullshit. Acting all big and important on your own.”
The two men glared at each other.
The giant’s face twisted as he asked, “Who the hell are you?”
“Who am I? I’m the strongest man here.”
“What? Hah, hah, hah. You’ve got to be kidding me. With a scrawny body like that?”
The two of them kept trading barbs.
Two women watched them, trembling.
And then…
Bright gold hair.
Pale, white skin.
One of the women was, astonishingly, a blonde foreigner.
A foreigner…
And beside her was another woman.
She was a typical Korean woman.
The two of them kept themselves covered as they watched the men in silence.
Even while my gaze was on the women, the two men were still fighting with nothing but their mouths.
I sat on a rock and watched them quietly.
The giant spoke first again.
“You know why I bought something with my points?”
“How the hell would I know?”
“Steel Skin. Haha. I invested all two of my points in it. Come on, then. Bring it.”
Steel Skin…
I searched for Steel Skin in the shop.
Steel Skin
Strengthens the skin to the next level.
The description was simple.
Literally skin enhancement.
“Pathetic bastard. Acting all high and mighty on your own. You think you’re the only one who bought something?”
“And what did you buy?”
“Are you stupid? You think I’d tell you that?”
“You son of a bitch!!!”
The giant, losing his temper, strode toward the martial artist.
Then he threw a punch at him.
But it was a complete miss.
The martial artist easily dodged the giant’s fist.
His movements were remarkably fast.
What’s more, as he slipped the punch, he kicked.
Thwack!!!
His foot landed squarely in the giant’s side.
But the giant merely brushed the dust off his ribs, looking as though he hadn’t taken any damage at all.
“That tickles.”
The giant smirked, completely at ease.
In that instant, one of the men who had been sitting and watching quietly slipped away into the forest.
Then another one followed.
Two had already abandoned the scene.
Even so, the rest were too focused on each other to notice.
The two men reset their stances.
But this time, they only circled and probed, unable to rush in as easily as before.
This time, it was the martial artist who spoke first.
“Come on, you big bear. Try again.”
He grinned and taunted the giant.
This time, the giant didn’t charge in recklessly.
“You come at me first, scrawny bastard.”
He held up his middle finger and provoked the martial artist.
They kept baiting each other, but neither one made the first move.
At this rate, there was no reason to keep watching.
So I took my black combat uniform out of the Inventory and put it on.
Then I slipped on my combat boots.
And my gloves.
Finally—
Thud.
I drove a jungle machete into the ground.
Only then did the men finally notice me.
They turned and started muttering among themselves.
“What the hell? Who is that guy? He’s wearing clothes?!”
“Shit, he’s got a knife too!”
All the bladed weapons handled at the Logistics Center were decorative pieces.
But this machete was a real killing blade.
A jungle knife.
I pulled another one out of the Inventory.
“Holy shit! Is that bastard using an Inventory right now?”
Only then did they realize what they were seeing.
I slowly rose to my feet.
“All right, then. Time to sort out the pecking order.”
Snick.
I gripped a machete in each hand and walked toward them.
“What the hell! That insane bastard’s coming at us with a knife!!!”
The men panicked at the sight of me armed like that.
They just rolled their eyes around, not knowing what to do.
They were all built better than average.
The moment I’d noticed that every one of them had a large frame, I’d already guessed.
The kind of men who’d cleared the first mission purely through strength.
I could also make a decent guess at what they’d bought with their points.
Step. Step. Step.
As I closed the distance, their reaction came immediately.
“I-I surrender. I’ll forfeit the mission…”
“Me too…”
“Me too…”
The men who had been sitting and watching nervously were already scared out of their wits, dropping to their knees and surrendering.
But the two who had been fighting were still glaring at me, weighing their timing.
One had probably bought Steel Skin; the other, some kind of Agility stat.
As I slowly approached them,
the giant with Steel Skin widened his eyes and his face flushed red.
Then, unable to hold back his excitement any longer, he rushed me first.
“You fucking bastard! You think I’m scared just because you’ve got a knife?!”
He charged straight at me.
I watched his movements closely.
For a man that big, even the motion of throwing a punch was clumsy and slow.
Ever since I was young, I’d done every kind of exercise I could think of to overcome my slight build.
Kendo hadn’t been an exception.
Dodging his sluggish fist, I tightened my grip on the machete.
And then…
Slash!
“Aaaagh!!!”
He’d trusted Steel Skin and charged in blindly, but against a steel weapon, it was useless.
My leg-cutting strike sent him collapsing to the ground on the spot.
The wound was deep enough that he wouldn’t be moving again anytime soon.
Now for the next one.
“You next? The agility stat?”
I left the fallen Steel Skin behind and walked toward him.
“You… coward…”
“And?”
He didn’t rush at me like the giant had.
“You… bastard… using a weapon like a coward…”
“Then should I do this bare-handed?”
“Yeah! You son of a bitch!”
“Fine. Come at me.”
I put the machete back into the Inventory.
Then I raised both hands toward him.
The moment the blade disappeared, the agility-type man sprang forward.
“You’re dead! You son of a bitch!”
He came at me with incredible speed.
But no matter how fast he was, he couldn’t be faster than an arrow.
By then, I already had a loaded crossbow in my hands.
Whump!
“Aaaagh!!!”
The arrow pierced his leg, and he collapsed on the spot.
“Ghh… you dirty bastard!!!”
“Come to think of it, people really do need to know how to use weapons.”
“Ugh... you son of a bitch…”
“Don’t be so dramatic. One arrow won’t kill you.”
The agility-type man clutched his leg and glared at me.
“Ugh... you… fucking bastard…”
Whump!
“Aaaagh!”
Since he still had some fight left in him, I planted another arrow in his other leg.
“How’s that? Want me to keep going?”
Clack.
“Ghhh… n-no… I surrender… absolutely… I surrender… please spare me… ugh…”
The moment I aimed the crossbow at him again, the agility-type man immediately tucked his tail between his legs.
That took care of the second summoning as well.
No—
The two who had fled into the forest.
I’d have to track them down.
But for now, finishing things here came first.
***
The men were kneeling on the ground.
I pointed to the one who looked the weakest.
“You.”
“Huh? Me?”
“Yeah. What’s your name?”
“My name is Kang Daeman…”
Kang Daeman blinked stupidly after being singled out.
“Kang Daeman, tell me what you bought with your points.”
“I… bought the lottery and… a stamina boost…”
Just as I’d expected.
“Kang Daeman, from now on you’re in charge of the men.”
“Huh? What do you mean…?”
“Make sure they stay alive until time runs out.”
“……”
I tossed a bundle of cable ties at the dazed Kang Daeman.
Thud.
“First, bind the men’s hands and feet with those.”
“Y-yes… understood…”
“Make sure they’re tight. If they come loose, you’re the one who’ll suffer.”
“Ah… yes.”
Kang Daeman moved around, tying up the men’s hands and feet.
But when he got to the giant and the martial artist, he hesitated.
“Um… sir, these two… what should I do…?”
“What do you mean what should you do? Tie them up the same way.”
“B-but… I think there’s a lot of blood coming from their wounds…”
Thud.
I threw him a first-aid bag.
“If you’re worried, treat them yourself.”
“Huh? I… I don’t know how to treat injuries…”
“They’re not going to die anyway. Just stop the bleeding as best you can.”
“Ah… yes.”
Kang Daeman sprayed disinfectant and clotting agent on them and even wrapped them in bandages.
“Done, sir.”
“Good work. Now hold out your hands.”
“Huh?”
The bastard looked startled when he saw the cable ties in my hand.
“Sir… I thought you wanted me to manage them…”
“Right. But I’m not going to tie your feet. Good enough? Hurry up and give me your hands.”
“……”
He scowled and slowly held out his hands.
Riiip.
I bound them tightly.
I couldn’t trust whatever intentions he might be hiding.
Still, only tying his hands was already more considerate than he deserved.
At least his legs were free, so he could run if things got dangerous.
I handed the sullen Kang Daeman a bundle of bottled water and said, “Only feed the ones who are on the verge of dying.”
“Yes… but sir, I… food…”
“You won’t die from not eating for forty-eight hours.”
“What?”
He looked like he’d just bitten into a turd.
Taking pity on him, I tossed him three chocolate bars.
Thud.
“Huh! Sir!”
“Those are yours alone.”
“Understood! Sir! I’ll manage these bastards thoroughly!”
He grabbed the chocolate bars and bowed ninety degrees.
After everything was settled…
I quietly looked over the men.
They were trembling with their hands and feet bound.
I pointed to one of them.
“What did you buy with your points?”
“I… bought the lottery and… penis enlargement…”
When I looked at another one, he answered immediately.
“I… bought stamina…”
“And the other one?”
“I only had one point…”
One point?
Men got one point per woman.
That meant they should have had two points total.
“Why did you only have one point?”
“Well… we just agreed to split the women one each…”
“So the last two guys decided to take one each?”
“Yes…”
“Then the women won’t be able to complete their mission.”
“My woman said that too and told me to take care of another man… but we just ignored her…”
Well, unlike the women’s mission, the men only had to finish inside, so…
I’d forgotten that men had multiple options.
“What’s this mission, then?”
When I asked the men, they all gave the same answer.
Plant seeds in a woman’s womb.
Every man had the same mission as the first batch.
With their heads lowered, they just stared at the ground.
They’d already lost the will to fight.
Leaving those men behind, I walked toward the women.
As I approached them, the Korean woman shrank back in fear.
But the blonde woman…
She didn’t avoid my eyes.
Instead, she smiled at me.
And she did it…
with her nipples and her snow-white pussy fully exposed.
