I glanced at Pomi's face as she sat beside me, listening to the story together.
Come to think of it, she'd lost her parents at a young age and was on the run from the Demon King's army with her twin sister. Right now, she was relying on me to rescue her captured sister.
As I looked at her with fresh eyes, she was busy wiping away tears with her sleeve.
"Sniff. So sad. I... I've been living too comfortably."
"You little punk, why are you talking like it's someone else's problem?"
"Huh? Sniffle."
"The Demon King's army is chasing you too. Your sister's been captured. To me, you seem pretty pitiful yourself."
"Huh? Oh, uh, yeah. I'm crying because... I miss my sister. Sob, ugh."
.. This kid, no way?
"Hey, you didn't lie about that too, did you? Come on, even if you're fibbing, that's too much, right?"
I'd thought maybe she wasn't close to her sister, but surely it wasn't that her sister didn't exist or something?
She rolled her eyes evasively, then suddenly raised a small fist.
".. What, so what."
She extended her pinky finger.
"I didn't lie! It's true! I have a twin, and we're being chased! Swear on Mom?"
"You crazy? Didn't you say your mom passed away? Swearing on your dead mom? Ugh, you brat."
"R-Right? Uh, never mind then.."
Her little hand slowly lowered again.
I glared at her peeking up at me.
"If it turns out to be a lie later, you're out. For real."
She flinched.
"A-Ah, nooo, Oppa~."
She suddenly clung to me with a whiny voice, but when my stern expression didn't soften, she trembled and asked,
".. A-Are you really gonna kick Mia out?"
"Yeah. Naked. I'll make you stand in the playground with your hands up while everyone watches."
"Eek! Oppaaaa. Sh-Should I suck your dick?"
"No.. I mean, get off. Hey, stop clinging. I'm serious right now."
I tried pushing Pomi's face away as she stuck to me, but even with her chubby cheeks puffed out, she kept rubbing against me.
"Nooo, Oppa. Don't kick Mia out~."
"You little shit. Begging like that means you admit you lied to me?"
"N-Nooo? No admission!"
"Be honest. You just made it up to seem pitiful."
"Y-You fell for it hook, line, and sinker!"
"Sigh, you're cute, so I'll keep you around for now, but just try me once. Seriously."
"Hehe."
"Don't laugh, it pisses me off."
"Yesss."
"Naked playground. Don't forget."
".."
I was enjoying our usual banter with Pomi when a throat-clearing cough interrupted.
"Ahem."
Oh, right. The pup was here.
"Alright. I get your situation now. It's tragic, and I feel bad. That's why I even healed you. You refused 119, so I spent my own points."
"Grr."
According to Byul-i, even after all that healing, Han Se-ri's remaining lifespan was less than a year. The 3,600 points she'd spent leveling her [Detection] skill had stolen nearly ten years from her life.
In that sense, meeting Pomi was lucky for me. 3,600 points? I could earn that in a week just by sleeping with girls I'd already conquered.
No, I didn't even need to go that far. With the 'First Ring' I got this time, doing it once a day with Yu-ra would net it in five days.
And last time with Na-young, I racked up nearly 9,000 points in one go.
Though that was because she was hard difficulty. Is this the difference between beast contractors and demon contractors?
No wonder my Luck stat was over 1,000, while Han Se-ri and the guy she was chasing—both contractors—had Luck under 100.
Byul-i said Han Se-ri couldn't even view others' stats, only her own.
Having contracted with an N-grade beast like Shadow Wolf, she couldn't learn R-grade skills like [Target Status Reveal], so no quests popped for her either.
She didn't even get gacha coupons, so no chance at R-grade skills through luck.
Apparently, her contract with the Shadow Wolf just let her burn her initial points, shaving years off her life to learn revenge skills.
As I pondered, Byul-i glanced nervously and cautiously spoke up.
"Grr. J-Jun-young nim. Please. J-Just 100 points—no, if possible, a bit more. 1,000 points for Se-ri? If you could.."
"W-Wait! What? Points can be transferred?"
".. You didn't know?"
"Hey, Pomi. Is this true?"
".. Huh? D-Didn't I tell you?"
"No! You punk, I told you to cook, to earn money. At least explain stuff like this.."
"I s-suck dick every day though."
"That's a given!"
"Eung?"
"Grr?"
I ignored their blank stares and forced myself to ask.
"Sigh, so how do you transfer points?"
"Just think of giving points, and if the other agrees, it works."
"Byul-i."
"Grr?"
"Does she know about this? That I can give points?"
"Se-ri doesn't know. She never imagined meeting a demon contractor in the human world, so I didn't tell her to avoid false hopes."
That's how it is, huh?
As I mulled it over, I noticed Byul-i keep glancing at Han Se-ri. Not just now, but even while recounting their past.
I pretended not to know and asked,
"What? Worried?"
Sure enough, the naive demon-world wolf bit the bait.
"J-Jun-young nim. Could you hold Se-ri one more time? She still can't open her eyes.."
"Ahem. W-Well. It's not right for an unconscious girl, but since her guardian asks.. no choice."
"Liar!"
"Shut up!"
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Han Se-ri awoke feeling a fullness deep in her lower belly.
"Hah!"
Her back arched like a bow.
Above her wide-open eyes, she saw a man panting over her.
".. You're awake."
"Ugh."
The man met her gaze, said that, and fell silent. Han Se-ri felt hands firmly supporting her lower back. They gently lowered her to the floor, and soon the hot thing filling her withdrew.
"Ah..?"
She stared blankly at his face for a moment, as if waking from a long dream. Then, memories before she passed out flooded her mind.
The elation of finally finding a clue.
The emptiness of watching a witness's throat pierced before she could speak.
The invisible enemy tied to her mother's death.
The moment she sacrificed her lifespan.
And after the long chase, seeing that man's fa.. face.
"Hup!"
Focus returned to her dazed eyes. Her right hand swung unconsciously.
Slap!
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ ".. You gotta fix that habit of swinging first."
Han Se-ri woke up trembling at the corners of her eyes right after I'd poured another load of [Life's Essence] into her. I hadn't expected her to wake so suddenly, and while thinking what to say to the just-conscious girl, I got slapped.
I tasted the metallic blood in my mouth and looked down at her indifferently.
".."
Lying on the floor, staring back at me. Her cold eyes seemed emotionless at first, but her faintly trembling shoulders betrayed the facade.
I'd felt pity hearing their story from the Shadow Wolf, but anger lingered from when she and Pomi threatened our lives.
I understood her shock waking up intertwined with a strange man, but getting slapped after healing the girl who tried to kill me? Irritation surged.
We glared for a moment.
Shooo.
Shadows rippled from her shoulders.
I hardened my expression and warned,
"Put that away. Your pup's washing up, so it'll explain everything when it comes out.."
"Die."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Life-threatening danger detected. Skill 'Invincibility' activated.] "This is ridiculous."
"Tch."
Seeing the barrier activate, she bit her lower lip and intensified the shadow attack.
Clang! Clang! Crack!
I'd used up today's free Invincibility, so no room for error. My remaining stamina dropped rapidly.
"Hey! Stop! Can't you hear me?!"
"Huff, huff. Die!"
Crack!
".. I warned you."
Crunch.
"Ugh!"
I grabbed her wrists mid-attack and slammed them to the floor. Black shadows rose from her arms, wrapping and slashing mine, but an Invincibility barrier that only same-level attacks could pierce wouldn't yield to an N-grade skill.
"Hoo. Hooo."
"Let go! Let me gooo!"
A brief standoff.
But this would just repeat the afternoon fiasco. I quickly aligned my cock with her folds and thrust deep inside.
Squelch.
The rigid shaft parted soft walls, reaching her depths.
"Haak!"
Invincibility faded, and her shadows wavered simultaneously. But like a candle about to go out, they reformed.
Not moving my hips might kill me—this awakened some primal instinct. With my hardest erection ever, I pistoned rapidly into her.
"Hng. Uh. Mmph.. Haak! Ugh."
She bit her lips to stifle moans, but when I slammed down with weight, she gasped open-mouthed.
Squelch, squish. Squish.
"Uh. Uh. Kugh."
Finally moaning, she angrily clamped her lips again. Glaring, she summoned shadows anew, but they dispersed before forming, just like before.
Squish, squish.
"Uh, hng. Uh. I'll kill.. you."
"Shut up."
Maintaining Invincibility was impossible, but I had stamina for [Essence Absorption]. I also activated [Pheromones], rarely used despite being learned.
Lv. 0 limited it to semen, but her pussy was already filled with my cum from "healing"!
"Hrgh. Uuugh!"
As the skill triggered, she shook her head and writhed, but didn't scream sweetly like the other girls I'd been with.
