Naked
“Aaaaaaah!!!”
Sudden screams rang out from the women.
The sound jolted me upright on instinct.
And there they were, right in front of me.
Naked women, no less...
But they weren’t the only ones here.
Three men.
No—four men, if I counted myself.
Everyone stared at one another with dazed, bewildered expressions.
The women were trembling, covering their bodies, while the men just looked on in a stupor.
I quickly scanned my surroundings to make sense of the situation.
Blue sky, dense forest, a Status Window, and strangers standing there naked.
And the mission that had been given to me.
This was...
Some kind of otherworld summoning straight out of a web novel?
Then—
One of the men got to his feet and stepped forward.
The naked man covered his penis with his hand and spoke.
“Everyone, please pay attention. It seems we’ve found ourselves in a very difficult situation.”
There probably wasn’t a single person here who didn’t already know that, but he went on regardless.
“As an expert in web novels, I know exactly what kind of situation this is.”
An expert in web novels? That was a thing?
At his words, everyone looked at him with hopeful eyes.
“We’ve been summoned to another world. And it looks like we’ve been given a mission. From now on, you need to listen to me carefully.”
The people around him blinked stupidly.
Then one of the women spoke up.
She had snow-white skin and long straight hair.
She was seated, covering her chest, but even through the curtain of hair falling around her face, she was so beautiful it was almost blinding.
“Another world? A mission? What does that even mean?”
The man, still covering his dick, stared at her.
For a second, he froze like an idiot and couldn’t get the words out.
His hand slowly started to lower.
And with it, his erect cock began to show.
It was thrust up toward the sky.
“Aaaaaaah!!! What do you think you’re doing?!”
That insane bastard had stared at a woman’s face, spaced out, and then practically shoved his dick in front of her.
“Ah! I’m sorry. My hand slipped...”
He hurriedly covered himself again.
“Forget that! Continue what you were saying just now!”
“Ah, yes. Understood.”
For a moment, the man’s eyes flashed as he looked at the woman’s face.
Something in his expression seemed to shift.
Then he let out a faint, sly smile and opened his mouth again.
“This kind of situation is a common setup in web novels. It’s where some mysterious force summons people to a world that isn’t Earth.”
“Another world? Why are we being summoned?”
“Usually, it’s because they need help.”
“So we were summoned because our help is needed? Is that it?”
“Probably.”
He wasn’t entirely wrong, but this didn’t feel like we’d been called here simply because someone needed help.
The mission given to me.
Plant your seed in a woman’s womb.
Earn points on success. Lose your memory on failure.
If they needed help, there was no way they’d slap on a mission and a penalty like that.
Then what kind of memory was the punishment referring to?
As I was lost in thought, the woman’s voice rang out again.
“Then what about the mission? What is the mission?”
At the word mission, the man looked momentarily flustered.
But he quickly masked his expression and tossed the question back at her.
“What mission?”
“...Excuse me?”
“The mission. What exactly does it say?”
“........”
At his question, the woman pressed her lips together and said nothing.
What about the missions the others had received?
Were they the same as mine?
The man kept pressing her.
“What’s your name?”
“Jihye... Lee Jihye.”
“Ah, yes. Jihye. My name is Kang Deukgu. Could you tell me what your mission says, Jihye?”
“.........”
Lee Jihye closed her mouth again.
Not only her, but another woman as well lowered her head and avoided his gaze.
And as Kang Deukgu watched their reactions, a smile spread across his lips.
“Then I’ll reveal my mission first. Mine is survival.”
“Survival?”
“Yes. A mission to survive in this place. Now, tell me yours, Jihye.”
“Ah... yes. Mine... mine is similar... It says, ‘Survive in this place’...”
“I see. Understood. Then let’s all survive together.”
Grin.
Kang Deukgu looked at Lee Jihye and smiled in a way that made my skin crawl.
Why the hell did looking at this bastard make me feel so disgusted?
Everything about him irritated me on some instinctive level.
“Yes...”
Lee Jihye answered awkwardly and looked away.
Then for a moment, our eyes met.
Damn it.
She really was unbelievably pretty.
My dick started to react when I looked at her naked body.
The mission I’d been given.
And the time left: 24 hours.
How the hell was I supposed to fuck her pussy in that amount of time...
I wasn’t a virgin, but I’d never actually dated anyone before.
That damn bastard...
The man’s voice cut through the silence.
“All right, everyone. I’ll assign each of you a role, so please introduce yourselves.”
A role assignment, all of a sudden?
He was acting completely naturally, like he was the leader or something.
Kang Deukgu looked at me.
“You there. Your age and name.”
This motherfucker.
So I really did look like the easiest target, huh?
“Twenty-eight. My name’s Kanghae.”
My answer made Kang Deukgu hesitate.
“Pardon?”
The look on his face was full of confusion.
“My surname is Na. My name is Ganghae.”
“Ah... ha, ha, ha... I see. Ha, ha, ha...”
Kang Deukgu gave an empty laugh.
“Twenty-eight? Then I’m a year older. I’m twenty-nine.”
“So?”
“No, I just mean... I’m your older brother by a year...”
I couldn’t exactly check his ID, but by appearance alone, he did look older.
“Ah, okay.”
When I gave him a halfhearted acknowledgment, he immediately pointed at another man.
“I’m... twenty-two, and my name is Kim Sinjo...”
Once the timid, student-like guy had introduced himself, Deukgu moved on to the next man.
The last one was a big guy.
He was mostly fat, but his size was no joke.
Kang Deukgu glanced at the big man.
The two of them spoke quietly, low enough that no one else could hear.
When they were done, Deukgu turned back to me.
“Then you and Sinjo go check the area.”
Just like that, he ordered me to scout the surroundings.
This bastard was unbelievable.
I was pissed, but I was also curious about what kind of place this was, so I said nothing and walked over to Sinjo.
“Let’s go.”
“Huh? Y-yes...”
Just as I was about to head toward the forest with Sinjo, I met Lee Jihye’s eyes again.
Slowly, her hands lowered.
And with agonizing clarity, her pink nipples came into view.
She was looking at me with a pitiful expression, baring her chest.
And I could only stare blankly back.
“Hyung!”
At Sinjo’s voice, she quickly covered herself again.
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you coming?”
“Oh... right. Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Avoiding her trembling figure as best I could, I quietly headed into the forest.
***
“Um... hyung.”
“Yeah? What is it?”
“Is it really okay to just go like this? It feels way too dangerous...”
“I know. That’s why we’re not going far. First, let’s find something to cover our dicks with and anything that might work as a weapon.”
“Yes... hyung.”
Rustle... rustle...
For the time being, we used vines and leaves to cover ourselves.
“Hyung, but this is rubbing my dick way too much.”
“Yeah, I know. I saw them doing this in a movie, so I tried it, but it’s uncomfortable.”
“Yeah...”
Covering our bodies with leaves was a lot harder than it looked.
We tied ourselves up with vines, but it was obvious our cocks were still stinging and hanging there.
“Let’s just make do.”
“Yes, hyung.”
We kept searching for something that might pass as a weapon while mostly just winging it.
Which meant sticks, at best.
“Hyung, why did we end up going through something like this?”
“Hell if I know. I don’t get it either. But Sinjo, what’s your mission?”
“Huh? My mission...?”
At the word mission, Kim Sinjo looked flustered.
“Yeah, your mission.”
“Well... I...”
His face turned red, and he couldn’t continue.
“Why? Is it because it says to fuck a woman’s pussy?”
“Huh? H-how did hyung...”
If Sinjo had the same mission...
Then did all the men have the same one?
“Sinjo, have you ever done it with a woman?”
“Huh? No... I haven’t.”
“Never once?”
“No...”
Yep. This guy was a virgin too.
“You’re twenty-two, so you’re a college student?”
“Yes...”
“Damn, I heard girls are easy these days. And you’ve never done it even once?”
“It’s just... it feels like everyone but me is getting laid...”
Well, it wasn’t just you. I’d never slept with a normal woman either.
Though I had, at least, had some experience. Because I’d paid for it.
I wanted to comfort the guy, but I couldn’t exactly tell him what was on my mind.
It somehow felt embarrassing.
“What about the army?”
“Not yet... I was planning to go after graduation.”
“Why? If you go when you’re older, it’s only going to be tougher.”
“My mom said it’d be better to go after I graduate...”
Jesus, he was a complete softie.
At this rate, pushing forward any further would be too risky.
“Sinjo, hide over there and keep an eye on that side.”
“Yes, hyung.”
We hid ourselves and quietly surveyed the area.
And every now and then, I watched that obnoxious bastard Kang Deukgu back in the clearing.
He was talking with the big guy, a little ways away from the women.
A while later...
“H-Hyung!!!”
Sinjo called me over in a small, urgent voice.
“What?”
“From the forest... I think I heard something...”
“What? Where?”
“Over there...”
I strained my ears and focused in the direction he pointed.
Some strange, unpleasant sound drifted toward us from far away.
That wasn’t the cry of some ordinary animal.
Heeheeheehee! Kekeke! Gobl! Gobl!
Short, hunched figures.
Green, wrinkled skin.
Huge red eyes.
Rotten teeth bared in grinning laughter, drool hanging from their mouths every time they went, “Heeheeheehee,” it was unmistakably the goblins described in web novels.
Fuck.
So monsters really did exist in this world.
The only weapon I had right now was a stick.
On the other hand, those bastards were armed with blowguns like blowdart launchers and even daggers.
Could I actually take them on with a stick?
Still, goblins were small, so maybe it was doable.
“Sinjo, you trust me, right?”
“Huh? Hyung... what are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“Just run straight back to the clearing.”
“Really? Is that okay?”
At my order to run back to the others, the idiot grinned so broadly his face nearly split in two.
“Yeah. I’ll handle things here, so you go tell the others.”
“Yes! Hyung! I’m off, then.”
The moment I finished speaking, he sprinted for the clearing.
Seeing him run like that, I didn’t really feel the need to be sorry.
Heehee-kekeke, gobl!!!
The goblins reacted to Sinjo’s movement.
They chased after him and bit down on their blowguns.
Phyu! Phyu! Phyu!
Then they started firing their poisonous darts.
Their aim was terrible, but they kept shooting anyway.
And then...
My stick came down.
Thwack!!!
I smashed the goblin’s head with all my strength.
Its skull burst apart in an instant.
Hot liquid splattered across my chest and arms.
“Ugh... fuck...”
Most of the goblin’s remains sprayed forward, but some of it rebounded from the impact and splattered all over me.
It was disgusting, but I quickly swung at the rest of them.
Thwack! Thwack!
Thankfully, the goblins’ heads burst pretty easily.
And soon, three goblins lay sprawled on the ground.
I hurriedly checked the Status Window.
Grade: F
What the hell was this?
The Status Window hadn’t changed at all.
Was this not a system where you leveled up by killing monsters?
There wasn’t even an indication that experience had gone up.
Damn it.
With no choice, I gathered the spoils from the bastards.
The blowguns and the daggers.
And the scraps of leather they’d been wearing.
The leather stank, but it was a hell of a lot softer and more comfortable than leaves.
I roughly covered myself and looked over the weapons as well.
The blowguns looked simple enough, but I had no idea how to use them properly, so I kept only one dagger and buried the rest of the weapons in the ground.
After taking the remaining leather scraps, I headed back to where Sinjo was lying collapsed.
***
Kim Sinjo was on the ground after getting hit by a goblin’s poison dart.
I pulled the dart out of his leg and laid him flat on his back.
He forced his eyes open and looked at me with a teary gaze.
“Ugh... hyung...”
Thankfully, he was still alive.
“Yeah. How’re you feeling?”
“Ugh... my body... won’t move... ugh...”
“Your arms too?”
“Ugh... yes... at first it felt like only my legs were numb, but now I think my arms are going too... Ugh... am I going to die, hyung?”
I checked his body, but nothing seemed especially serious.
He’d gone a little pale, and his breathing was rough, but his heart was beating properly.
“You still look conscious, so I don’t think this is full-body paralysis.”
“Ugh... really?”
“Yeah. If it were a full paralysis poison or a lethal venom, you’d already be dead. You’re still able to talk, aren’t you?”
“Ah... I guess so? Then I’m not going to die?”
It was obvious he’d already scared himself half to death and was tying himself up in knots all on his own.
“That’s right, idiot. So calm down. The paralysis’ll wear off soon enough.”
“Yes! Hyung!”
As time passed, the color returned to his face.
And soon his arms and legs were moving normally again.
“Hyung! My legs move again!”
“Then wear this instead of leaves.”
I held out the scraps of leather I’d taken from the goblins.
“Ugh... this smells... though?”
“Then keep covering yourself with leaves.”
He hurriedly wrapped the leather around himself.
“No, it’s fine!”
“Enough. Let’s go.”
“Yes! Hyung!”
After confirming he was properly covered, I headed back toward the others.
But then—
A naked woman ran toward us.
“Hyung...”
Sinjo’s voice sounded beside me, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the beautiful sight of Lee Jihye running toward us naked.
