Subduing the Knight Commander
To suppress a rebellion, one first needs the military force to do so. No matter how much of a mindless, brute-force piece of trash Grid might be, could he really quell a rebellion all by himself? Looking at Grid’s track record in the game, it seemed possible, but did he really do it that way? Even if it were possible, could he, Jung Kang-rim, actually pull it off like Grid?
In reality, he had never even been in a proper fight. Could he really take down those who had joined the rebellion all by himself? Could he do it while controlling his strength? Unlike Grid, could he avoid killing them all and instead corrupt them, making them his own?
To make the impossible possible, he needed to secure troops. Once he secured them, the game would effectively be over. The reason was simple.
Grid’s soldiers were all children born from the women he had ravished.
Every soldier currently serving under Grid was his own offspring. They were the bloodline of women he had forcibly raped, impregnated, and forced to give birth. Perhaps because he was the boss of a depraved, exploitative game, Grid possessed facilities that forced women to repeatedly undergo mass pregnancy and childbirth, and it was because of those facilities that his army was maintained.
The children were processed the moment they were born, raised into soldiers with suppressed emotions. The time it took to raise them was a mere two to three weeks.
No matter if they were his own flesh and blood, they were ultimately nothing more than dolls. As if to prove this, regardless of who birthed them, Grid stripped his children of their emotions and turned them into puppets that obeyed only him. Even if their biological mothers pleaded with them to come to their senses, none of the children-turned-puppets would ever respond to those pleas.
And,
Grid possessed a pendant to control the soldiers. That pendant was crafted by Talia and entrusted to Iris, one of his slaves.
Grid had handed over the control of his soldiers to Iris, a female knight who was completely subservient to him. Artria had explained that this control had now been given to the executives who had become the center of the rebellion. That meant Talia had prepared a new means to exercise control, and that Iris had ignored this while knowing full well what it meant—which in turn meant that both of them had joined the rebellion.
It was likely that because the means to control the soldiers would vanish if the pendant were taken, they had created a new tool. They wouldn't have split up the perfectly functional tool they already had.
If so, Kang-rim’s course of action was set. First, he would break Iris again. From the broken Iris, he would find out which executives held the control. Because Iris had hidden information about them, even the legendary Artria had found it difficult to track down the ringleaders of the rebellion. If he could break Iris, he could accomplish what the secretary could not.
Second, once he identified the executives, he would break them just the same. Once broken, the control of the soldiers would be in his hands. And finally, if he broke Talia as well, he would have secured the force needed to suppress the rebellion.
To this end, Kang-rim was currently:
"Don't you have anything to say to me, Iris?"
He was training Iris.
"N-no, I do not."
The silver-haired woman, whose hair reached her hips, was restrained on the bed. Her arms were pulled above her head and tied tightly with rope, the wrists connected to the headboard. Her legs were spread in a 'V' shape, her ankles firmly secured to the bedposts with rope.
The female knight, restrained without a single thread of clothing, was trembling. Her voluptuous breasts swayed with every tremor, much like a herbivore facing a predator.
Iris answered in a voice thick with tension. Her jade-colored eyes were filled with terror.
"More than that, why are you doing this? And in Artria’s room, of all places."
"Because this is a top-secret operation."
The room Kang-rim was currently using to train Iris was not his own. He had borrowed Artria’s room. He had intentionally borrowed it because there was a chance his plan would be discovered if he did it in his own room. One of the reasons was that, unlike his own room, this one was soundproofed.
In the room borrowed from his secretary, Kang-rim intended to torment Iris.
"I have no choice but to do this to bring a commander who joined the rebellion over to my side. It would be troublesome if this got out, so how could I use my own room?"
"...!"
At those words, Iris’s face turned pale. Soon, she asked in a trembling voice.
"How did you know that..."
"Artria told me. Ask Artria for the details. Well, she’s probably busy right now."
For reference, Artria was currently carrying out Kang-rim’s orders in the master’s room. He needed the sounds of women struggling through sex to be heard from the room so that others would mistake him for being inside.
"Train Sua until I finish my work." Artria had looked reluctant, but when Kang-rim promised to 'plow her hard' if things went well, she agreed to follow the mission. Thus, following orders, Artria was driving Sua into a corner, both mentally and physically, through deep, lingering kisses.
The reason he could do this was simple.
Artria’s saliva contained aphrodisiacs. Since it was identical to the aphrodisiac in Kang-rim’s semen, even a few minutes of kissing could easily break an opponent down. This was the reason Sua had collapsed so quickly, and it was also why Kang-rim had entrusted the training of Sua to Artria.
It was unclear how effective it would be, but when Kang-rim returned, she would likely be a little different from before. 'Artria will do well.' She was Grid’s true loyalist. In any case, he would leave the Sua matter to Artria. He would focus on bringing this female knight who had joined the rebellion back into the fold. Since he had already decided to do it, he had to be thorough.
Having resolved himself, Kang-rim climbed onto the bed.
"Anyway, since you betrayed me, I must mete out a punishment commensurate with that."
"M-Master, I..."
"Calling me 'Master' after betraying me is grating to the ears."
Kang-rim pretended to be angry as he took off his clothes. "Dropping your tail now that you think you're going to die? That title of 'Knight' is a joke."
"I, that is, some of the executives coaxed me..."
"Then you should have arrested them."
As he stripped off his pants, his muscular, naked body was revealed. His member was fully erect, as if he wanted to plunge it in right then and there. Kang-rim straddled Iris.
"Making excuses when you didn't even resist. Do you have any idea how pathetic that is? Just be honest. Tell me you joined the rebellion because you wanted to kill me."
"That's not it! I... hngh?"
"Your breasts are soft."
He gathered the large breasts of the female knight with both hands. His member, positioned between her cleavage, was buried in the mass of flesh. In that state, Kang-rim began to shake his hips.
"If only your thoughts were as deep as your breasts are large."
"Ugh?"
Every time Kang-rim thrust his hips forward and pulled back, the member buried in her chest repeated the motion of emerging and retreating. His member was so long that it even reached Iris’s mouth. Iris kept her mouth firmly shut, so it didn't enter, but—
"Open your mouth."
Kang-rim gave the order. "Do you intend to disobey my command even after everything has been exposed?"
"I..."
"If you don't, your family will suffer the consequences instead. Are you going to refuse?"
"Th-that, anything but that!"
When he brought her family into it, Iris answered immediately. "I'll do it, I'll do it! So, please, spare my family, please! I will never betray you again, so please, just spare my family!"
"..."
"I was short-sighted. I have committed a sin worthy of death. You can kill me, but please, spare my family!"
"...I haven't said I was going to kill you yet..."
Kang-rim hadn't expected her reaction to be this intense. 'Is it because it involves her family? I didn't think it would be to this extent.'
Iris, the female knight. Along with Artria, she was one of the commanders who obeyed Grid. On the surface, she could be seen as a loyalist serving Grid just like Artria. After all, in the actual game, she was one of the final enemies of Part 1 who stood in the way of the protagonist, Seol-hwa.
However, such behavior did not stem simply from loyalty. 'Just how harshly did Grid treat her for her to be this terrified?'
According to the lore, Iris was once a member of a noble family that resisted Grid. When Grid invaded the island her family ruled, she fought back immediately, but just as Fox Island had fallen, Iris had also been miserably defeated. After that, Iris suffered through unspeakable torture, and the resulting trauma turned her into a slave who obeyed Grid unconditionally.
It was never revealed exactly how he tortured her, but given Grid’s personality—killing people as easily as eating a meal—it must have been in a very cruel manner. That was why Iris couldn't help but be terrified at the mention of her family being harmed.
'Family... is it really that precious?'
Honestly, Kang-rim envied Iris. Seeing her worry like that meant the love between her and her family was deep. Kang-rim, whose own parents had treated him merely as a tool for their own life’s rewards, felt a sense of comparison. Of course, it just made him feel a bit gloomy; it didn't make him cry enough to stop the training. No, he had already decided to do it—how could he be swayed by something like this? Once he started, he had to push through ruthlessly.
'Get a grip, get a grip!'
He couldn't mess this up! Kang-rim steeled his resolve and opened his mouth.
"Iris, from now on, I am going to rape you."
Kang-rim declared. "Pay the price for your betrayal with your body. I will fuck you until I am sick of it, so be prepared. If you dare to spout any nonsense... you know what will happen, right?"
He didn't intend to kill her like Grid did, but he wasn't a fool who wouldn't use her. If her family was her weakness, he would use that weakness to break the female knight again. It was definitely possible.
"Ah, I understand. I'll do it, I'll do it! Auuugh!"
Without a moment’s hesitation, Iris swallowed Kang-rim’s cock into her mouth.
"Hey, that hurts."
She had been so flustered that she bit down too hard, causing Kang-rim to frown.
"Hiiik? I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Please, please forgive me!"
"Hey, hey, calm down, calm down."
Kang-rim had a hard time calming Iris down before he could resume the ravishing.
