The Virgin Auction
While waiting in the dressing room, I grew curious about what was happening outside and called out to Maria. ‘Maria.’
‘What?’
‘What are you doing right now?’
‘Eating cake.’
‘Again?’
Ever since Maria had become a dairy cow, her appetite had grown enormous. She had exercised hard to lose weight and regain her abs, only to find herself even hungrier, which made her eat even more. Once she discovered the pleasure of eating, she developed a hobby of seeking out all kinds of food. She ate large meals and snacked constantly, exercising just enough to keep the weight off.
‘You should try enjoying food too, Elisha. It’s all turned into breast milk anyway, so it’s fine.’
‘When you put it like that, you really do sound like a dairy cow.’
Maria showed no particular reaction to being called a dairy cow. Ugh, something about her had changed. The always-rational Maria had discovered the joy of eating and grown a little more emotional.
‘Maria, you seem different somehow. Before, you would have said learning about human society wasn’t worth wasting time on food.’
‘Food culture is one of humanity’s finest achievements. It’s the best human culture I’ve experienced so far.’
‘Mmm.’
Hmm. Maria was already so fixated on eating that talking to her about it seemed pointless. She enjoyed it so much that scolding her felt wrong… and somehow, she felt more and more human.
After chatting with Maria for a while, Venus entered the room.
“Everything’s ready. Follow me.”
“Yes.”
I stood and followed her into a dimly lit room where masked men had gathered. They all wore expensive-looking clothes, as if trying to flaunt their wealth. Their gazes shifted from Venus to me, and gasps of admiration escaped them.
“Oh my. Venus recommended her so highly that I had high expectations, but she’s even more stunning than I imagined.”
“A captivating female you’d never see where I live.”
The men exchanged comments while appraising Maria’s body. Venus positioned me in the center of the group and spoke.
“This is Elisha, a new prostitute who recently started working at our establishment. Her body is completely realistic, and remarkably, she is still a virgin.”
“How has no one claimed such a female yet?”
“I’d love to know her name and face, but that would violate the rules. What a shame.”
“I’m going to have to spend some money.”
Ah, so they didn’t treat nicknames as real names. Still, watching the men discuss me like merchandise sent a chill down my spine. Haa…
“Venus, shouldn’t we verify her virginity?”
“I can personally guarantee it, but…”
“It’s not that we don’t trust you. We just want to enjoy the show.”
“Exactly. Besides, she’s the kind of female who enjoys selling her body, right? The more we torment her, the more she’ll like it.”
Venus smiled awkwardly at their words, then whispered in my ear.
“Do you still have your hymen?”
“Yes.”
“Spread your legs and show them your pussy.”
At her firm command, a thrilling sense of pleasure coursed through me. I spread my legs and parted my folds with my fingers, presenting myself. The perverse thrill of exposing my hymen to these men only heightened my arousal.
The man at the front examined me and spoke.
“Hmm. She does have a hymen. That said, dripping like this while showing off her pussy… prostitutes really are all vulgar.”
“Haha, they’re the type who choose to play prostitutes in the game. Of course they’re depraved.”
“That’s exactly why this game is so good. With enough money, you can have your way with women who pretend to be prim and proper in real life.”
Their degrading remarks only excited me further. Haa… being verbally humiliated felt good. Maybe I should ask Kate to try it sometime.
“Gentlemen, shall we begin the auction?”
“Let’s save the simple entertainment for later and start the bidding.”
“I made quite a bit of money this time. You’d better be prepared.”
“I really like her.”
Venus began calling out bids, and the auction commenced. A message window above my head displayed the amounts, rising with each new offer.
“80,000.”
“90,000.”
“100,000.”
The bids quickly surpassed 100,000, and fewer men continued as some dropped out.
“Damn it, 120,000!”
“Already at your limit? 140,000.”
“You small-timers should drop out. 200,000.”
When the large man who had been calling me “female” bid 200,000, the room fell briefly silent. Then a tall man in a suit who had been quiet until now spoke.
“300,000.”
“Hey, with that kind of money you could just buy a sex bot!”
“Manner violation. Chat disabled.”
The outburst earned the man a chat ban, leaving only the large man and the suited man in competition.
“Hmph, 400,000.”
“500,000.”
Their gazes clashed sharply. I couldn’t believe it. Was that 500,000 tunes? That was the price of a decent android. They were spending that much just to take a virgin’s first time—in a game? While I stood dumbfounded, Venus’s face was lit with a broad smile. She leaned in and whispered.
“See? Your value is quite high. You can stop spreading yourself now.”
“Ah, yes.”
I finally released my folds and straightened up. The bidding between the two men grew increasingly frenzied.
“700,000.”
“You’ve got guts. 800,000.”
“900,000.”
“1,000,000!”
One million? Were these men insane? The other men in the room stared at them in stunned silence. Venus looked ready to split her face from smiling so hard.
“1,100,000.”
“So you want to go all the way? 1,200,000.”
“1,300,000.”
I wasn’t sure if this was okay. What exactly were they planning to do that required spending this much on my virginity?
“1,800,000!”
“1,900,000.”
“2,000,000!”
Even Venus, who had been enjoying herself, began to look uneasy. Right—this wasn’t normal. Shouldn’t someone stop it?
“2,300,000.”
“2,400,000!”
“2,500,000.”
“You crazy bastard! 2,600,000!”
Both men seemed deranged. I whispered to the frozen Venus.
“Is this really okay?”
“Uh… well, it’s a legitimate auction, so it’s legal, but…”
What should I do? Should I just log out and run?
“Just in case you’re thinking about it—logging out and fleeing could get you sued, so don’t.”
“Yes…”
The insane auction had already surpassed 3,000,000.
“3,400,000!”
“3,500,000.”
“Damn it! 3,600,000!”
At 3,600,000, the suited man who had been steadily raising the bid turned his eyes toward the large man. After a brief silence, the large man spoke.
“Hahaha! So you’re admitting defeat? At 3,600,000, no one can blame you for losing—”
“5,000,000.”
“Wh-what?”
The suited man’s single bid left the large man frozen. He had jumped 1,400,000 in one go. Five million… I couldn’t even imagine what that kind of money meant. While the large man trembled in silence, the suited man spoke again.
“Venus, proceed with the auction.”
“Y-yes. Any bids above 5,100,000?”
The room had gone completely silent; even breathing seemed to have stopped. The absurdity appeared to have left everyone speechless.
“Ah… if there are no further bids, the item is sold for 5,000,000.”
At Venus’s words, the suited man stood and headed for the door.
“Prepare her and send her up.”
“Yes, Lord Teo.”
Once the man called Teo left, the silence broke into commotion.
“Who the hell is that Teo guy? Is he some kind of chaebol?”
“What would a chaebol need to do in a game to get a woman?”
“Well, if he has to hide his identity, maybe.”
“Damn it, to lose a chance at a beauty like that whose virginity is still intact…”
Venus approached me as I stood dazed, grabbed my arm, and pulled me along.
“Hurry. We can’t afford to offend Lord Teo.”
“Who is he?”
Venus seemed to know the man called Teo. Her face was rigid with tension.
“I don’t know the details. He’s a big spender who occasionally visits the brothel and pays handsomely. He never sees the same prostitute twice. The girls he’s been with say he seems like someone high up in Xenuma.”
“Someone high up in Xenuma…”
“He hates being defied. He follows the rules when they exist, but otherwise he’s merciless. There was a rumor that someone who picked a fight with him outside disappeared.”
“That’s terrifying.”
Why would someone like that spend five million on a virgin? Venus dragged me to a room filled with various potions and clothing. She sat me in front of a vanity, pulled out several bottles, and set them down.
“This is a pain-relief potion, this one heightens skin sensitivity, this is a sustained stamina recovery agent, and this…”
“Why do I need all this?”
“If you’re going to handle Lord Teo as a virgin, these are essential. He’s… rough.”
“What? Rough?”
“He’s quite violent. So if you want to feel pleasure, you’ll need reduced pain and heightened sensitivity. Stamina recovery is necessary too…”
Hmm. Teo seemed to enjoy extremely rough sex. Then again, considering my own kinks, maybe it would be fine…
“Drink all the potions, get dressed, and come out.”
“Yes.”
After Venus left, I looked at the potions and drank them all. Better safe than sorry. Ah, I should let Maria know.
‘Maria.’
‘Hm?’
‘Are you eating again?’
‘Mmm.’
Maria was eating again. I really needed to exercise more.
‘I just got auctioned off as a virgin in the game. First time having sex.’
‘Pfft—what?’
I explained everything that had happened. After listening, Maria spoke incredulously.
‘Wait, that game was that kind of game? And selling your body through a virginity auction? Honestly.’
‘If you don’t like it, I won’t do it.’
‘It’s just a game, so it doesn’t matter. You should enjoy it too, Elisha. That said, you really are vulgar.’
‘Eek.’
At her scolding, my womb trembled slightly. Ahh… being insulted felt good.
‘How does it feel? Good?’
‘Mmm.’
‘Getting turned on while being called vulgar… you really are a hopeless masochistic slave.’
‘Ahh, I like it. Insult me more.’
Every time she degraded me, my stomach clenched and my womb quivered in ecstasy. What was I supposed to do? I felt like I was becoming more and more of a pervert.
‘You’re turning into even more of a masochistic slave by the day. Sigh… well, this is who you are, so I’ll just have to accept it. From now on, I’ll try to treat you like a slave.’
‘Ah, okay.’
Maria’s tone suggested a shift in her feelings. She was both my symbiote and my master, but we had mostly lived as friends, and aside from the taming period, she had never tried to dominate me. I hadn’t thought she had that kind of inclination.
‘From now on, speak formally. Call me Master.’
‘Yes, Master.’
Addressing her as Master sent a thrill of submission through me. Eek… this really was what I liked.
‘Like this? Good?’
‘Yes, it’s good.’
‘Hmm, it feels strange actually doing it. I never liked being dominated, so I didn’t understand you, but thinking about dominating you myself feels… nice. And since you like it, that makes it even better.’
It seemed my master had awakened to the pleasure of domination. If she became the perfect master, would we become the perfect pair?
‘Report to me after you have sex. Oh, and you said you’d be working as a prostitute? Report every time you do. Understood?’
‘Yes, Master.’
‘Good. Somehow, this is getting more fun. Let me know when it’s over.’
Master ended the conversation, sounding pleased with her commands. Whew… both of us enjoying this symbiotic master-slave relationship was far better than when I had been Isabel’s slave. Still, I felt grateful to Isabel for leading me to my master. Imagining an ideal life with her, I dressed and stepped out. Venus guided me to the top floor.
The top-floor room was enormous, split into large spaces on either side of a central staircase. Venus opened a lavishly decorated door and spoke.
“Lord Teo will be waiting inside. Treat him with respect.”
“Yes, Guildmaster.”
“I’ll reduce the commission on the money you’re receiving depending on his reaction. Do your best.”
“Yes.”
The door closed behind me. I walked through the dark room; the plush mat on the floor made no sound. Deeper inside, I saw him pouring liquor into a glass on the table. As I approached, he spoke.
“Take off all your clothes and sit in front of me.”
“Yes.”
I removed the clothes I had just put on, placed them on the floor, and sat on the antique chair, looking at him. He poured liquor into the glass in front of me and raised his own, nodding. I lifted mine in response. He clinked our glasses together and downed his in one gulp. I supposed I should do the same.
“Kgh, cough, cough.”
“Huhu.”
The liquor was far stronger than expected, and I coughed. He chuckled quietly at the sight. As I covered my mouth and cleared my throat, he spoke.
“You should drink more. It’ll be hard to endure with a clear head.”
He refilled my glass. He knew his own kinks and was being considerate. Fundamentally a gentleman, yet with such preferences. Humans really couldn’t be judged by appearances alone.
After a few more drinks, a pleasant buzz rose and my mind began to haze. Oh… this might be the first time I’d ever gotten drunk. I had to avoid making mistakes.
“You seem appropriately intoxicated. Shall we begin?”
Leaning on the table to steady my spinning head, I watched as he stood and began removing his clothes. Through my slightly blurred vision, his body was far more muscular than it had appeared. So he really was a soldier, given his high position in Xenuma. He lifted me and laid me on the bed.
“I’ll warn you in advance—once we start, I won’t be able to control myself easily. If you feel like you’re going to die, kick me or do whatever it takes to stop me.”
“Yes.”
The moment I answered, a slap struck my cheek, whipping my head to the side. Huh? Smack! Smack! His palm swung repeatedly, sending my face jerking left and right. Whoa… without the pain-relief potion, that would have really hurt. Was this man named Teo also a sadist like Kate? The mask was an equipped item with only invisible functions, so there was nothing obstructing his hands as he struck my cheeks. After continuing to slap me, he soon began punching my entire body.
