Chapter Title: Machine Gun Test and Burning Desires
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"J-Jaehwan... What the hell was that?"
Ha Dongseok, who had nearly been riddled with bullets out of nowhere, stared at me with a dazed expression as he spoke.
I couldn't really blame him for making that face.
One moment I'd told him to stand still for a bit, and the next he was almost turned into Swiss cheese by a machine gun.
He must have been wondering what the hell was going on.
And it wasn't just Ha Dongseok, the test subject. All his subordinates wandering around nearby felt the same way.
"It was nothing much. I just unlocked a new feature recently and wanted to test it out."
As I answered Ha Dongseok, I redesignated him as a resident.
"From now on, if anyone not registered as a resident tries to break in, they'll end up just like that—full of holes from the machine gun. Make sure you and your men know that."
"Ah, so it's like a defense system. I got a real scare when the guns suddenly opened fire."
No wonder he was startled—I'd attacked out of the blue without any explanation.
"Is there just the one machine gun like that?"
"Nah, I've got three more installed besides this one. For the time being, no zombies or people will be getting in here easily."
Sure, way off in the distant future, enemies might show up that could shrug off machine guns, but I figured these would hold the line for at least six months.
Looking at how fast other Awakeners were growing, it might take a full year before anyone could punch through them easily.
Of course, I wouldn't just sit on my hands in the meantime—I'd definitely come up with something else by then.
One regrettable thing was that this outpost wasn't the only place I had to defend right now.
Besides the outpost, there were several additional zones I'd designated, and none of them were places where intruders would be welcome.
Starting with the solar panel factory I'd set up for power generation, all the way to the water supply station near the Han River.
There weren't people stationed there, but no guarantee whoever found them would leave them alone nicely, so part of me wanted to install today's defense features there too...
"But damn, it's too expensive. Moderately pricey would be one thing."
3,000 Coins per installation, and one wasn't enough to cover everywhere, so I couldn't justify putting them up lightly.
The outpost made sense—it had people I needed to protect, so I'd shelled out the Coins. But pouring that much into those other spots wasn't so simple.
Maybe it was time to recruit people to guard them instead.
That might end up cheaper in the long run?
Gather folks under me, form hunting squads to take down zombies and defense squads to protect key facilities.
I didn't have enough manpower yet to organize that many groups, so it'd be a future plan, but yeah, sinking Coins into defenses nonstop was a burden.
For now, I'd stick with this approach and figure out the details step by step.
"Let's see... That means today's spending alone... Ugh! Over 20,000 Coins gone?"
Reinforcing Miyoung's skill plus the machine gun installations had burned through more than 20,000 Coins in one go.
Just when I thought I'd made a decent haul of Coins, they'd vanish, and the cycle repeated.
It felt like running down an endless road sometimes.
If this was life, well, it was life.
To survive, you had to keep pushing forward, endlessly gathering and spending resources—money, food, whatever.
Any living creature had to go through that, right?
Honestly, I'd love to ignore all this crap and live easy without lifting a finger, but that was still a long way off.
"Such is my fate. My damn fate. If only that bitch Mir hadn't..."
If it weren't for the zombie apocalypse, I'd be living large right now, no money worries, kicking back.
Wealth in the bank, steadily building Demonic Energy for power too—a perfect life.
But no, she'd shoved a massive lump of shit right in my face, something I never saw coming...
At first, she threw a fit about not sending me back with my requests, then suddenly changed her tune. Bet it was because she knew the money would be useless anyway, so why not?
If she'd warned me this would happen, I could've asked for something else useful. But nah, pointless, so just yeet me here?
Next time I see her, I'm smashing her to pieces.
Oh yeah, come to think of it, those guys from Guro Apartment who called Mir their goddess had shown up, right?
Wonder what that's about.
I'd spread a con around Guro Apartment that Mir, the evil god, unleashed the zombie apocalypse to destroy the world, but I never imagined her name popping up elsewhere.
Definitely need to dig into what that's all about.
Who knows?
The Mir those guys worship might be the same goddess I know.
If she is... I'll have my revenge.
Double—no, triple what she did to me, until I'm satisfied.
I didn't know exactly where Mir's followers were yet, but I had a feeling time would bring us together.
They couldn't hide forever calling themselves apostles of god.
Bound to cross paths somehow.
Keep that in mind—Mir and her apostles lurking out there.
Alright, time to head out and grind some Coins today too?
Might not match today's haul, but stock up as much as I can—something always comes up to spend them on.
Should swing by that level 3 dungeon Sohee and Ha Dongseok mentioned last time, check out the first-clear rewards.
Right after Kim Jaehwan left to farm Coins,
"H-Hngh! Haa, haa..."
Lee Seoyoon, alone in her room, lay on the bed fingering her pussy furiously as she masturbated.
"Ah! C-Coming! I'm cumming!"
She jammed her fingers into her pussy like a madwoman while twisting her erect nipples hard with her other hand. The pleasure surged up her spine from her core and slammed into her brain.
At the same moment, she squirted her juices, her back arching like a bow as ecstasy washed over her.
"Haa... No, it's not enough yet..."
Ignoring the orgasm she'd just had, Lee Seoyoon reached aside, groping around until she found the dildo Jaehwan had given her. She snatched it up and shoved it deep into her pussy.
"Hngh! Haaang! Haaang! H-Harder! Fuck me harder, Master!"
Pounding it in so fast she didn't care if her pussy broke, Lee Seoyoon naturally pictured Kim Jaehwan in her mind as she pleasured herself.
Until recently, she'd barely even masturbated properly, but after sex with Kim Jaehwan, her life had flipped 180 degrees.
Knowing no one came to her room much, she'd started touching herself whenever she had time.
Thanks to sex with Jaehwan, she'd become addicted to the bliss of orgasm.
No matter how many times she came, Lee Seoyoon kept going without tiring...
"No, still not enough... Master's cock... Not enough Demonic Energy..."
That first day he'd taken her virginity, when he'd pumped Demonic Energy straight into her dantian—the sensation was unlike anything she'd felt before, a aching pleasure she could never reach alone.
Even masturbating this hard now, she couldn't hit the highs of that sex.
So every time she saw Kim Jaehwan, she wanted to beg him to fuck her.
To stimulate her dantian with Demonic Energy like before and ravage her.
But when she faced him, the words wouldn't come out.
Living with him alongside Han Yejin, she compared herself and figured he'd prefer Yejin's company over hers.
She, with her hideous, scarred body and dark demeanor, versus the pretty, bubbly, affectionate girl—he'd be happier with Yejin.
She told herself helping her get revenge on Joo Hyeri was enough.
That alone was a massive debt of gratitude to Jaehwan.
So aside from masturbation breaks, she'd thrown herself into mastering Demonic Energy control, earning his praise.
When he said she'd soon wield true black magic, she'd been overjoyed.
But deep down, she craved his touch. Wanted him to pound her fiercely like before.
Even with her body covered in scars.
"Haaang... Master..."
She came from the dildo too, but let out a sigh of longing for Jaehwan as she got up to clean up.
"Seoyoon~ What're you up to~? Came to hang out... Huh?"
Suddenly the door swung open, and Han Yejin stepped in.
Lee Seoyoon, fresh from masturbating, and Han Yejin stared at each other in silence for several seconds, blinking.
"Ahaha, shoulda knocked... "
Realizing she'd barged in, Han Yejin slowly closed the door and tried to back out carefully.
Lee Seoyoon frantically covered her body with her hands.
She didn't want anyone seeing her scarred form.
Seeing that, Han Yejin stopped and didn't leave.
Instead, she stepped inside and approached Lee Seoyoon.
Panicking as Yejin entered instead of leaving, Seoyoon jumped up to dive under the covers, but Yejin grabbed her arm and held her back.
"Wait! Let's talk."
"W-What? N-No!"
"Hiding because of your scars, right?"
Han Yejin nailed her thoughts on the head, startling Lee Seoyoon into freezing mid-motion to pull the blanket over, slowly turning her head.
Seeing her reaction confirmed it for Yejin, who grinned widely.
"Knew it. No need to be that embarrassed. I don't mind at all?"
Seeing Yejin's smile, Lee Seoyoon flushed red and quickly put on some clothes.
The two sat facing each other on the floor.
"Were you just masturbating thinking about my oppa?"
Seoyoon clamped her mouth shut and nodded at the blunt question.
"Yeah? Then tell him. Bet he'd do it right away."
"B-But... You saw my body... I don't think Master would like it..."
"Oppa wouldn't care. Hmm... The scars make it hard to ask him, huh?"
Lee Seoyoon nodded in agreement.
Pondering solutions, Han Yejin suddenly recalled a manga character with tattoos covering their body.
"How about this? Get tattoos to cover the scars. Then they won't show at all—sound good?"
"T-Tattoos?"
Lee Seoyoon jolted at the unexpected idea.
And imagined it.
Herself having sex with Kim Jaehwan, a tattoo over her womb.
