The Fist King's Disciple
The next day after becoming An Rok-san's disciple, Cindy Macglen accompanied him to the Martial Alliance's forge. There, An Rok-san introduced her to an elderly man.
“Nice to meet you, miss. I am Baek Do-un, the exclusive blacksmith of the Martial Alliance. I oversee all of the Alliance's weapons and lead the blacksmiths under its command.”
“Nice to meet you, Mister Baek Do-un.”
“Call me Elder. This friend here also holds the position of Martial Alliance Elder.”
“Understood, Master.”
“Haha. You've really gained quite the enviable disciple. My own disciples are all just ugly lumps of muscle... haa.”
“Heh heh. Isn't that a compliment for a blacksmith? Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, I need a gun and gauntlets suited for my disciple.”
“I've already prepared them. Come, see for yourself first.”
Following Baek Do-un and An Rok-san, Cindy descended a staircase leading underground within the forge building. Along the way, she noticed the heavy presence of guards and security measures, which puzzled her. But once they reached their destination, her questions were answered.
> Registered personnel confirmed.
> Elder An Rok-san and Elder Baek Do-un authorized for entry.
> Unregistered individual detected.
“She is our guest. By the authority of a Martial Alliance Elder, I grant her temporary access.”
> Command acknowledged. Access granted.
As the countless locking mechanisms on the massive vault—larger than a person—unlocked, an array of weapons appeared before Cindy's eyes.
“...Wow...”
Even in Changcheon Murim, she had seen the Martial Alliance's armory and the treasure vaults of countless factions. Yet the weapons vault in this transformed world felt unimaginably novel to her. There were not only traditional Murim weapons like swords, spears, blades, and gauntlets, but also guns, exotic weapons from the Western Regions, fantasy-style blades that looked like they belonged in another world, and even staves that mages might wield. Every piece gleamed in vibrant, mysterious colors that delighted her eyes.
Baek Do-un led Cindy and An Rok-san to one side of the room, where gauntlets were displayed.
“Choose from here first. Each one has its own distinct performance.”
“...Master. This is a bit awkward to say, but... I don't have any money? Hehe.”
“Haha. No need to worry. This is support for a talent recognized by the Martial Alliance. Money isn't required.”
“Thank you. May I check their specs first?”
Beep.
Baek Do-un manipulated a panel near the gauntlet display and spoke to her.
“Press your Bio Device against this. The information will transfer over.”
Following his instructions, a message appeared on Cindy's device indicating that the data had been updated. When she accessed her Bio Device, windows containing information on each item popped up. Fascinated, she began reading through them one by one.
As she examined the items, Cindy noticed that most of their stats were fairly similar. In the end, she chose the gauntlets that provided the greatest boost to agility.
White Lightning Gauntlets
Strength +30, Stamina +30, Agility +90
Not the best gear, but still way better than what the Dokgo Family gave me.
After putting on the gauntlets and receiving a similarly performing gun, Cindy left the forge building and headed to the training grounds. At An Rok-san's private training area, she received an internal energy cultivation manual and a medicinal pill from him. She learned the technique, consumed the pill, and began practicing the Chiu Cheonhwangmu.
Chiu Cheonhwangmu — Attack Power increased by 300.
Yukgyeol Mind Method — Stamina and internal energy significantly increased.
Hae-ryong's Inner Core — Internal energy increased by 2 cycles (gapja).
“Good. The basics are done. Cindy, from now on, you will spar with me.”
“With you, Master? But... won't our skill levels be too far apart?”
“I am aware of that. First, I need to accurately gauge your current realm. Right now, you're roughly at the first-rate level, but that's not precise. Above all, you've just learned Chiu Cheonhwangmu and taken the inner core, so we must assess you properly from here on.”
“Understood.”
“Set aside your manners as a disciple for now and come at me with everything you've got. This is an order from your master.”
“...Yes♥”
The moment An Rok-san emphasized the word “order,” a shiver ran down Cindy's spine and her body trembled. Yet she faithfully carried out his command. Using every means at her disposal, she charged at An Rok-san and came to truly understand just how powerful he was.
The principles of using internal energy were identical to those in Changcheon Murim, and having consumed the inner core, she attacked him with considerable speed and power—though not at the level she had reached during her time in that previous world. However, An Rok-san remained completely still in one spot, dodging or blocking every punch, kick, and even her gunfire. He even had the leisure to point out her weaknesses as he observed her movements.
After more than an hour of relentlessly attacking him, Cindy finally collapsed from exhaustion, drenched in sweat. As she fell, An Rok-san praised her and handed her some water.
Panting heavily, Cindy drank while her sweat-soaked clothes clung to her body, accentuating the rise and fall of her massive breasts. She listened to An Rok-san's words.
“Truly impressive. Cindy, you've learned not only the basic martial arts of the Dokgo Family but other styles as well. Am I right?”
“Haa... haa... Yes. As you saw, Master... I learned Korean—no, Joseon martial arts... hek... and also styles from the Western Regions and even Wa (Japan)...”
“The gap between us in pure internal energy and realm is simply too vast. That's why the result was like this. Your style of combining guns and fists is certainly unorthodox. At the very least, I doubt there's a late-stage junior in this world as skilled in irregular techniques as you.”
“Thank you, Master. But... haa... I now understand just how strong you really are...”
“Heh heh. After all, there's more than a thirty-year difference between us.”
“Hehe. Let's stop here for today. Starting tomorrow, use the public training grounds. There's a dedicated training area for fist practitioners there. Practice Chiu Cheonhwangmu in that section, and there's a virtual reality room in the gunners' area for practicing marksmanship.”
“Understood.”
It's so strange hearing modern terms like that in the Murim world...
“That concludes today's training.”
“Understood.”
As Cindy finished training and headed toward the bathhouse, she thought to herself.
...I was actually looking forward to it a little... Master...
Recalling the heated memories from the carriage ride to the Martial Alliance, Cindy felt a rush of heated excitement spread through her body as she went to wash.
Three weeks had passed since Cindy began learning Chiu Cheonhwangmu from An Rok-san. At first, she had been constantly thinking about what happened between them and assumed he was targeting her as a woman. But over those three weeks, for some strange reason, An Rok-san never laid a hand on her. In reality, he was busy with his duties as an Elder, and more than anything, he had been diligently guiding her, raising both her martial prowess and combat ability.
At first Cindy found it suspicious, but she soon immersed herself in making Chiu Cheonhwangmu her own again while honing her marksmanship. She leveled up by hunting in the areas near the Martial Alliance. Unbeknownst to her, among all the players currently in the game, Cindy had grown stronger the fastest.
Boom!
“Kyaang!”
Cindy was hunting monsters in a field near the Martial Alliance. A two-headed wolf had one of its heads drooping limply after being struck by her fist, blood pouring from the wound. The other head lunged at her with its fangs bared, but she immediately drove her elbow upward, shattering its jaw and ending the fight.
Shhhk.
As the monster collapsed, its corpse vanished, dropping what looked like wolf pelts and a small amount of money. Cindy picked them up and checked her status window to confirm her growth.
Equipped:
— Martial Alliance Warrior Uniform
— White Lightning Gauntlets
— Ethereal Gun
— Earth-made Standard Bio Device
“Three weeks of hard work really paid off...”
She didn't know how much the others had grown, but with the support she'd received, Cindy had become quite strong. Still, she had a strange feeling that An Rok-san was only giving her half-hearted support—especially when it came to equipment.
My stats have gone up a lot through sparring and combat experience... but after that day, he hasn't asked for anything like that again... How strange... Master...
She was having fun mindlessly raising her character, but the events of that day still hadn't left her mind. Apart from that, she was thoroughly enjoying the game itself.
Because Yoo Kang-hyun was so busy, the women who had naturally distanced themselves from gaming and lived in reality were now enjoying Endless Universe more than anyone else. Cindy, too, was passionately developing her character, savoring the joy of a virtual reality game where she could grow stronger, explore the unknown, and experience new things.
“Oh my, it's already time.”
Noticing that the real-world alarm she had set had gone off, she logged out and exited the game.
“Honey! Welcome back!”
“I missed you so much, Kang-hyun!”
“Welcome home, Brother-in-law.”
“I'm back, everyone!”
Kang-hyun, who had just returned home after an overseas business trip, was warmly greeted by them all. He handed out gifts, hugged them tightly, and felt happy as he breathed in their scents.
“Haa... Only when I'm holding all of you like this does it finally feel like I'm really home...”
“Hehe. That's such a cheesy line, but it still makes me happy! Honey, go wash your hands and come back quickly. We've been waiting to have dinner together.”
“Got it.”
And so, Kang-hyun, Su-a, Cindy, and Hwa-ryun had a late dinner. The table was filled with foods said to be good for stamina. Kang-hyun looked slightly embarrassed by the obvious menu, but after finishing the meal and washing up, the women immediately dragged him to the bedroom as if they had been waiting for this moment.
Although they talked every day, they were so far apart in the game that they could only hear each other's voices. Their pent-up sexual desires had reached the boiling point.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
“Haaung! Honey! Yes! Harder♥!!”
“Huk! Huk! Su-a, I'm going to cum inside!!”
“Cum! Fill Su-a's baby room with your seed... Haat♥! Pour it in deep...!”
Splurt! Spluuurt!
“...Heuuung!”
Thud...
“Haa... Haa...”
“Huk... Huk...”
After releasing heavily inside Su-a, Kang-hyun immediately collapsed onto the bed. Su-a also fell forward, completely spent. Beside her, Cindy and Hwa-ryun were already lying there, his semen leaking from between their legs.
A little while later, after resting, Cindy got up and climbed on top of Kang-hyun. But he apologized to her and said,
“Um... Cindy... I'm really too tired... Hek... Can we stop here for today?”
“Slurp... Chup... Haa... That's too bad. Even after I serviced you with my mouth like this, it's still not getting up... You must be really exhausted, Kang-hyun... But I'm still not satisfied... Hng...”
Each of them had made him cum twice, meaning he had climaxed six times in total. Yet their lewd bodies and insatiable lust still weren't satisfied. However, Kang-hyun had truly reached his limit, so they had no choice but to stop there, no matter how disappointing it was.
After the storm of ecstasy had passed, Kang-hyun enjoyed some afterplay with his three women and asked,
“Is Yu-ran still busy?”
“Yeah, honey. We barely see her these days either. She says she has a lot of work. She also mentioned she's having fun with it.”
“Well... Even the prototype we're working on is massive in scale. If they're adding even more on top of that...”
“...Now that I think about it, have Se-yeon and Ji-min been busy lately? I haven't been able to reach them.”
“I heard a little from Yu-ran... It seems they're pretty busy too. She said it's hard to contact them as well.”
Han Se-yeon and Shin Ji-min had been living in Kang-hyun's house ever since the time he had supposedly suffered from Matrix Syndrome (though it had been an act). Eventually, they too had become his women. But after he won the bet against Jung Dae-woon and started spending more time away from home, they had returned to their own places for the time being. They had said they would persuade their parents and finish the work they had been doing. Since Kang-hyun came home even less frequently, Su-a had allowed it. Whenever he did return, the two would come back to the house and spend time with Su-a and the others.
However, at some point, their contact became infrequent, and the number of their visits began to decrease.
“Still, don't worry too much. From what Yu-ran says, they're doing well. Plus, both of them got scouted by National One, right?”
“Ah, so Se-yeon and Ji-min are both transferring to National One?”
“No way. If that were the case, I, the president, would have told you myself. Think of it as something like a long-term dispatch. It's just that the dispatch period is quite extended...”
“...Sigh... I thought winning the bet against my father-in-law would solve everything... Now there's a new problem. I'll try contacting them soon.”
With that, the conversation came to an end, and Kang-hyun, Su-a, Cindy, and Hwa-ryun fell asleep. They had decided that each woman would sleep with him one by one throughout the night. So only Su-a remained with him that night, while Cindy and Hwa-ryun returned to their own rooms, washed up, and went to sleep.
