The Fist King's Claim
Kang Nok-san relayed everything he had discussed with Na Yu-ran to Han Se-yeon and Shin Ji-min. The two women nodded in understanding.
"If it's Senior Yu-ran, that certainly sounds like her."
"That's right. I've never met anyone as honest about their own desires and pleasures as Na Yu-ran senior."
"If even the two of you say so, then it must be true."
In truth, Kang Nok-san knew Na Yu-ran far better than either of them, but he still shared his own experiences and asked for their impressions of her. By gathering as much information as possible, he was able to refine his plans for dealing with her. Not that he considered her a serious threat—she had already chosen to remain a bystander—but every detail helped.
"From now on, keep pushing the development of Endless Universe just as you have been. Help Na Yu-ran with it. That alone is enough. Modify the systems exactly as I order."
"Understood."
"We won't let you down."
After finishing their bath, Han Se-yeon and Shin Ji-min changed clothes and returned to their own homes. Kang Nok-san went upstairs, dressed, and began to rest.
Beep!
While resting with his eyes closed, an urgent notification sounded. Kang Nok-san checked his phone and immediately stood up. The device displayed that a specific access terminal's unique connection code had been activated.
He descended to the capsule room and climbed into his personal capsule. The machine had been specially built to accommodate his massive frame and was far larger than standard models. He closed his eyes, felt the brief sensation of floating in darkness, then opened them again to find himself inside Endless Universe.
"Time to begin again."
Kang Nok-san—or rather, An Rok-san—muttered to himself and set off to meet Cindy.
--------------------------------------------------
After logging out, Cindy went to work at the CIA. An unexpected overtime shift kept her late into the night. By the time she finally dragged her exhausted body home, she was completely drained.
"Welcome home, Cindy~"
"Welcome back."
"Yes... I'm home. Su-a, Hwa-ryun..."
The moment she arrived, Cindy collapsed onto the sofa where Su-a and Hwa-ryun were sitting, without even showering. She leaned against Su-a's soft body and let out a tired whine.
"Making me work overtime for four hours... That's a violation of Korean labor law... Hnnng..."
Squish, squish~
This time it was Cindy who acted spoiled, burying her face in Su-a's ample chest and kneading it while whining, the opposite of how Su-a usually behaved. Su-a gently stroked Cindy's soft blonde hair and tried to soothe her.
"Oh dear... Our poor Cindy~ You must have had a hard time...?"
"Honestly, the paperwork was bad enough, but there was this one guy who kept hitting on me. Haa... He behaves whenever he sees Kang-hyun picking me up, but since Kang-hyun hasn't been around for a year, he's started again lately."
"Well... it's you, after all~"
Cindy, like Su-a, Hwa-ryun, and even Yu-ran, had received countless advances from men. It was practically a natural phenomenon. Su-a smiled wryly and offered what comfort she could. There was no stopping it, only empathy.
"And Cindy, strictly speaking, making you work four hours of overtime isn't actually a violation of labor law."
"Hmph! Hwa-ryun! That's not the point! I wanted comfort! I'm exhausted~!"
"I was merely correcting inaccurate information."
"Pfft! Hwa-ryun, that's enough."
"Hwa-ryun is too cold... She's the Ice-Hearted Fairy in reality as well as in the game!"
At Hwa-ryun's blunt remark, Cindy raised her voice in protest and whined again. Su-a laughed, calming Cindy while gently chiding Hwa-ryun.
"By the way, Yu-ran still hasn't come home? She stayed out without saying anything yesterday, but I didn't expect her to still be gone..."
"Haa~ Don't even mention it, Cindy! She messaged me thirty minutes ago saying she'd be home today! She said she has too much work and will sleep at the company! Honestly... she really looks down on the legal wife."
"Hee~ She must be really busy."
"Considering the scale of Endless Universe, I can understand, but acting like this when her family is worried isn't right. Haa~ On top of Se-yeon and Ji-min being overseas, the house feels so empty..."
"Hey~ Don't be like that. You still have me and Hwa-ryun~ Hohoho!"
"Having just the three of us like this reminds me of before Yu-ran joined us."
They chatted pleasantly about everyday matters until Su-a noticed the late hour. She prepared a late dinner for Cindy while Hwa-ryun, claiming fatigue, went to bed first.
"Cindy, are you sure you don't need help? You're tired, so I can clean up..."
"Of course! It's fine. I'll eat and clean up myself, so you should go rest now, Su-a~"
Su-a had offered to prepare Cindy's meal, wait for her, and clean up since she must be exhausted, but Cindy firmly refused, insisting she would handle it herself. Su-a eventually gave in and went to bed.
After finishing her late dinner and showering, Cindy checked that Su-a and Hwa-ryun were asleep in their rooms. Instead of heading to the bedroom, she entered the room with the capsule and quietly apologized to them.
I'm sorry... Su-a, Hwa-ryun. But... I only endured today so I could see Master...
While connecting to Endless Universe, Cindy felt guilty toward Su-a and Hwa-ryun as a woman who loved Kang-hyun, yet she could no longer suppress her feelings for An Rok-san and Arpa. She knew her actions were wrong, but the thrill of doing something forbidden, combined with the fact that Kang-hyun had permitted her to stray, drove her forward.
Cindy reserved her time slot and logged into the capsule. Su-a and Hwa-ryun remained peacefully asleep, unaware of her infidelity.
--------------------------------------------------
"Huu~"
Standing before An Rok-san's office to report, Cindy hesitated at the door. Although it had been An Rok-san's order, guilt over embracing another man weighed on her. The pleasure she had received from Arpa had been so intense that it rivaled what she felt with An Rok-san, leaving her with an inexplicable sense of guilt and tension that kept her from entering.
Ding.
"Hm?"
While lingering outside the door, Cindy checked a message on her Bio Device and her face flushed crimson.
Stop wandering around like a needy puppy and come in already.
"....."
Now that I think about it... his senses are far sharper than mine. He must have known I was here the whole time... Ahaha...
Feeling embarrassed and awkward, Cindy finally entered the office. She greeted An Rok-san, who was watching her with an amused grin, her face burning red.
"I-I'm back, Master."
"You seem to have enjoyed yourself. Arpa sent word that he was very satisfied. Kukuku!!"
"W-Why are you bringing that up the moment I arrive?!"
"Haha, I know what you're worried about. Don't dwell on it. You were only following my orders, weren't you?"
"T-That's true..."
"I have no intention of being disappointed in you for faithfully carrying out my command. Rest easy."
An Rok-san's precise understanding of her concerns brought Cindy genuine relief. But the moment she let her guard down, he used telekinesis to pull her body into his arms. Startled by the sudden floating sensation, Cindy let out a scream.
Whoosh!
Thud!
"Kyaa?! M-Master?!"
An Rok-san drew her close and began roughly kneading her breasts over her clothes. Cindy gasped, her breathing turning sensual as she let out soft moans.
"Hnn...♥ M-Master...?"
"That said, as a man, my pride took a hit. Arpa claimed his tool was better than mine, didn't he?"
"?! T-That's...!! Hyaa♥!"
Kang Nok-san pressed his lips to the nape of her neck and sucked hard.
"Hah!?"
"I wasn't disappointed in you. But as a man, my pride was wounded. Men are delicate creatures too, just like women. Haha. So... I'll make sure you remember exactly who your master is."
"Wait..."
Before Cindy could finish, An Rok-san pulled her into a tight embrace, sucking and licking at her slender neck while tasting her body lasciviously. He held her firmly with his thick arms and ran his tongue over her porcelain-white, baby-soft skin.
"Suck... slurp..."
"Ahh...♥ Hnn...♥ Hnnng...♥"
"Suck, suck..."
The more he sucked on her neck and shoulders, the louder Cindy's moans grew. An Rok-san paid no heed and continued to toy with the golden-haired, blue-eyed beauty. He then took her ear into his mouth and began sucking on it as well.
Large kiss marks bloomed across Cindy's delicate skin. The sight made An Rok-san's manhood swell and harden.
"Lick... lick..."
"Ah... mm..."
When he placed his hand on her breast and sucked on her ear, Cindy twisted her waist in protest, trying to escape his embrace. But when An Rok-san firmly gripped her breast and tightened his hold on her waist, she failed to break free and could only moan helplessly.
"Hnng♥!!"
"Suck. Suck."
After licking her neck for a while, An Rok-san pulled his tongue away and looked down at her.
"Now then, who feels better?"
