The Master's Command
Cindy felt a surge of feminine pride at An Rok-san's words, an indescribable emotion flooding from deep within her chest. Ironically, giving her heart to this man called An Rok-san had eased the sense of inferiority she once harbored toward Su-a. In this current situation, without her master Kang-hyun by her side, the existence of a man who acknowledged her over the superior woman that was Su-a brought Cindy an overwhelming sense of comfort.
Haah... To feel this happy being praised by a man who isn't Kang-hyun... This isn't like me at all... Still... I'm happy....♥
Cindy knew it was strange even to herself. The more time she spent with An Rok-san, the more her values and emotions warped in bizarre ways. Yet strangely, she didn't dislike the pleasure he gave her or the changes in her own feelings. If she logged out and thought about it coldly in reality, she could recognize that she was changing. She could even sense that it was probably the influence of the game system.
Even so, Cindy found herself looking forward more and more to the times she met An Rok-san.
I know I'm falling too deeply for Master... but for some reason, I can't stop...
Su-a's worries were something Cindy understood all too well. She had told Su-a it was just for fun, that it was only a game, but that wasn't the truth. She simply couldn't bring herself to tell Su-a the real story.
I'm sorry, Su-a... The truth is... I don't even understand my own heart... Haah~ ...What would happen if I told Kang-hyun something like this....
Thinking of the other person she loved made a corner of Cindy's chest begin to ache. She had told Su-a to enjoy herself, but the truth was that Cindy wasn't without feelings of guilt toward Kang-hyun. However, ever since she started Endless Universe and met An Rok-san, Cindy had been feeling her body and mind growing increasingly lewd.
That was why, even as fear and terror gripped her, Cindy found herself unable to reject the pleasure anymore. She agonized over whether she should consult Kang-hyun about her abnormality.
Back in the days of Changcheon Murim, Kang-hyun had told his women to freely enjoy their carnal desires. In the world of that game, since he himself claimed other female NPCs, he had granted his women the same freedom. At first, Su-a, Cindy, and Hwa-ryun had loved only Yoo Kang-hyun, but as they played Changcheon Murim, countless incidents and accidents occurred. They experienced situations they never wanted, and little by little their values began to change. Eventually, they ended up sharing their bodies with many men.
In particular, Cindy and Hwa-ryun had, of their own will and under the premise of using contraceptives with male NPCs, permitted insertion into their vaginas rather than their anuses. At the time, Kang-hyun had felt contradictory pleasure—fury mixed with arousal—and the women had felt the same. Kang-hyun's will had been that it was fine to create other men inside the game. Yet as she accepted that will, Cindy became terrified and confused about how far she herself might change.
.....Haah... Who the hell am I supposed to talk to about worries like this.... Ah, screw it! Thinking about it now won't change anything!
Slap! Cindy smacked her own cheek, ending her train of thought. As the heat in her face subsided a little, she lifted her head again and glanced at An Rok-san, who was kneading her breasts and ass, before speaking in a petulant tone.
"The same person who said all that ended up enjoying himself so much with Su-a?"
Though she spoke sulkily, there was no genuine discontent on Cindy's face. An Rok-san laughed and replied.
"We'll meet again anyway. I'm certain of it...."
"...You're very confident."
"A human's baseless intuition sometimes hits the mark better than any prediction."
"...Somehow that sounds strangely convincing."
"Hehe, indeed. How was your first space voyage? Were you satisfied?"
"...Yes. It was wonderful. Hehe~ I even want to go again."
"We must return to Earth first, as there is work to be done there. But... we should be able to head out again soon."
"Oh my, really?!"
"Of course. Have you ever seen me speak empty words?"
"No, I haven't. Hehe."
"Forget about Jung Su-a for now. What I possess at this moment is you. Cindy Macglen. Chuuup."
"....Hauum~ Churup... Jjoop... Lick lick♥"
Having finished speaking, An Rok-san pulled Cindy's face toward his own and began kissing her. Cindy's expression turned hazy as she naturally accepted his kiss. And so, on the spaceship returning from their journey on Pantera, Cindy—more aroused than usual by the sex while gazing at the vast and beautiful universe—craved An Rok-san even more intensely. He responded to her demands, savoring her body as they returned to Earth.
One month after returning to Earth from their trip to Pantera, Cindy spent her days busily. She trained under An Rok-san, leveled up through occasional hunting, and at the same time clung to him to gain both stats and pleasure, living fulfilling days.
Once she could contact Su-a again, the two spoke constantly with no room for boredom.
"Oh my god! You've already gotten that strong? Strong enough to take down a hydra by yourself??"
"Hoho, Su-a. It was my choice, so don't worry about it too much~ Well.... It's a bit embarrassing that the footage got sold to those in power, but it was quite an enjoyable experience in its own way. Plus, thanks to that, I was able to get close to Erill. Ahaha!"
"Wow! That's amazing, Su-a!"
"I'm curious too, but we only know she's in the Empire and nothing else.... Since we've decided not to talk much about the game in reality, there's nothing we can do."
When Su-a accidentally brought up Kang-hyun, Cindy gave a slightly awkward smile. Su-a, who had been talking while watching Cindy's video, realized her mistake.
"Su-a, it's not something for you to apologize for. Strictly speaking... the one at fault is me, who fell into pleasure."
"Honestly, I wanted to talk to Kang-hyun before I gave myself to Master... but there's no information about him in Endless Universe, so I couldn't. If I meet Kang-hyun... I'll apologize properly and explain my situation."
"Thank you for saying that. Ah, Su-a. Master just contacted me. I should get going now."
Ziiing. After ending her conversation with Su-a, Cindy moved to An Rok-san's office. A short while later, upon arriving at his office, she knocked politely and opened the door while greeting him in a respectful tone.
Ziiing.
"Master, excuse me for intruding."
When she entered the office, An Rok-san was in the middle of brewing tea and pouring it into Cindy's cup. As she arrived, he smiled and offered her a seat. Cindy sat down and they began to talk.
Pour...
"You've come, Cindy. First, take a seat."
"Yes, Master."
"I have a task for you. A guest will arrive soon. You are to 'entertain' that guest."
"Cough?!"
While listening to An Rok-san's words over her tea, Cindy accidentally spat it out. She wondered if she had misheard, but An Rok-san continued sipping his tea with a relaxed expression. Realizing she had heard correctly, Cindy began speaking in a panic.
"Are you saying... I should give myself to a man other than you, Master?"
"That's right."
"....Ha... But, Master..."
"Speak."
"I... don't want to give myself to any man other than you, Master."
Until now, Cindy had shown absolute obedience to An Rok-san's commands. The option of defying the superior 'beast' who 'dominated' her simply did not exist for her. But this time, even Cindy couldn't help but hesitate. No matter that it was An Rok-san's order.
"....Cindy. I know what you're worried about."
"...What do you mean?"
Suddenly standing up with a thud, An Rok-san strode right up to Cindy. Startled by his presence, she unconsciously rose as well and took a step back. But when her back hit the wall and she found herself trapped by his massive frame, An Rok-san grabbed her cheek, forcing her to look straight at him, and spoke.
"You are my possession. No matter what happens, I will never abandon what belongs to me."
"....Ah..."
"Even if you spread your legs for many men, your value will not diminish. I promise you. As long as you do not betray me first, I will never abandon you. Cindy Macglen."
".....M-Master...."
At An Rok-san's actions, Cindy felt her body growing hot. It was true that An Rok-san belonged to the same category of men as Jung Dae-woon and Yoo Kang-hyun. But while they were of the same type, he was by no means the same person. If it had been Kang-hyun or Jung Dae-woon, they would never have handed Cindy over to another man, even temporarily. But An Rok-san was different. He was a man who would never abandon her no matter which man she gave herself to. He was the one who acknowledged her worth, and Cindy realized it once again.
"....Yes. I'm sorry for doubting you, Master♥"
At the same time, love juices began to slowly soak Cindy's panties down below. Seeing the superior male who recognized her value and desired her, Cindy's—no, the female's—instinct had awakened.
However, An Rok-san's next words left Cindy in confusion.
"Good. Then... it is time for your punishment."
"....Yes?"
