The White Suit's Blade
Jung Su-a darted through the battlefield like a white comet, her movements a whirlwind of lethal grace. Dozens of lizard-like monsters swarmed around her, but she carved through them without hesitation.
"Kyaaaaah!!!"
"Kreeee!!"
"Kiyooooook!!!"
Clad in a pristine white full-body suit, she wielded two glowing energy blades in her hands. Every swing severed limbs or split bodies cleanly in two, sending the massive reptilian horrors crashing to the ground. Two mechanical units hovered protectively around her, unleashing a relentless barrage of live ammunition and laser fire. Even though she fought alone, they guarded her flanks perfectly, preventing any encirclement and allowing her to maintain fluid, deadly mobility through the horde.
The firepower from both her energy swords and the mechanical units was devastating.
Slash! Crunch!
The neck of a lizard monster fell away in a perfectly clean cut, the severed surface as smooth and straight as if measured by a laser. A moment later, blood gushed from the wound as the creature collapsed.
Ratatatatat!! Ping! Pew!
The mechanical units zipped through the air, each bullet packing the punch of a high-caliber sniper round. Monsters struck by the rounds had holes punched through them larger than the bullets themselves—literal wind tunnels torn through their bodies. The laser-firing unit was just as merciless; each beam pierced straight through multiple targets, leaving a trail of devastation. In less than ten minutes from the start of combat, the countless monsters were completely annihilated.
"Kreeee..."
Thud!
After confirming the last monster had fallen, Su-a removed her pure white visor. With her face now exposed, she scanned her surroundings and issued a command to the units circling her. At the same time, a status message linked to her bio device appeared.
> Minor equipment damage detected.
> Switching to self-repair mode.
"Omega, Gamma. Please handle item retrieval."
With a soft whirring sound, the two mechanical units that had been ruthlessly slaughtering monsters with bullets and lasers transformed their configurations. They began methodically circling the battlefield, collecting the items left behind from the dissolving monster corpses.
Watching her units automatically handle both hunting and loot collection, Su-a spoke in a relaxed tone.
"...I guess games really are all about the gear, huh? This is way too convenient."
After meeting Cindy and An Rok-san, hunting the Wood Hydra, and even encountering Pantera's leadership, Su-a had received full support from Erill—no, from An Rok-san and Cindy. As her rank increased, equipment that would have been impossible for an ordinary adventurer to purchase became available. She even acquired rare items not found on the market. Her strength had grown exponentially.
With improved levels, stats, and gear, Su-a naturally became far more powerful. Best of all, her constant money problems had finally been resolved.
"Self-repairing equipment that doesn't even need repair costs... It's basically cheating~ I love this suit so much!"
The pure white suit Su-a wore was a top-tier piece made from shape-memory alloy. Beyond its excellent base performance, its greatest advantage was the ability to self-repair. As long as its durability didn't hit zero, it would restore itself over time. On top of that, its sleek sci-fi design and performance perfectly captured the atmosphere of Endless Universe, enough to make even a casual player like Su-a feel her heart race with excitement.
Ding!
Just as she finished collecting the items and was about to return to the city, a notification chimed from her bio device. Su-a's face brightened instantly as she answered.
"Cindy! It's been so long!"
-Hello~ Su-a! Have you been well?-
When she activated the bio device, Cindy's face appeared on a translucent window, allowing them to video call. They had exchanged unique IDs back when Cindy visited Pantera, making this possible.
Seeing Cindy after several weeks, Su-a felt overwhelming joy and began chatting. After exchanging simple greetings and catching up, Su-a heard an unexpected name from Cindy that made the conversation even more delightful.
"Really?! Hwa-ryeon?!"
-YES! I didn't meet her in person, but it seems she's doing well. I wanted to tell you about Hwa-ryeon, so I called~-
"Thank you for letting me know. I hadn't heard anything from my little sister, so I was actually getting a bit worried."
-I was curious how she was doing too. I wanted to go see her myself, but... Master gave me orders, so I have work to do on Earth.-
At the mention of An Rok-san, Su-a unconsciously flinched. At the same time, she felt a tiny trickle of arousal leak from her rear. She didn't show it outwardly, though her face grew slightly flushed as she continued the conversation.
-Su-a, someone will be coming to see you soon. He's an acquaintance of Master and serves as Hwa-ryeon's superior.-
"...Wait, Cindy? Isn't Hwa-ryeon in the Empire right now? And isn't the Empire hostile toward Earth... or rather, the space federation Earth belongs to—the D.C.U.?"
-That's true, but... it seems they have some personal connections. You don't need to worry about that part. They kept the fact that he's from the Empire hidden, and there haven't been any major issues so far.-
"Well... if you say so, Cindy, I won't worry about it. Did you call just to tell me about Hwa-ryeon?"
-That's part of it... but actually, the person I just mentioned—Hwa-ryeon's superior—will be coming to see you. Su-a, would you be willing to meet him?-
"Huh? Why would he want to see me...?"
-Well... it seems Master told him about you. And Hwa-ryeon... also seems interested in you. In more ways than one.-
The moment she saw Cindy's slightly blushing, embarrassed expression, Su-a immediately understood what had happened between Cindy and this superior of Hwa-ryeon's. Su-a's own face reddened as she replied awkwardly.
"Ah... I... I think I understand what you mean. Haha..."
-I'm sorry... Su-a. I spoke without asking your permission first...-
"It wasn't you who said it, it was Hwa-ryeon and An Rok-san. You don't need to apologize, Cindy."
Su's words made something sting in Cindy's chest, filling her with guilt. While An Rok-san and Hwa-ryeon had shared information about Su-a, Cindy had also spoken about her to some extent. But what was done was done, so she stayed quiet. Su-a continued.
"So, Cindy. What kind of person is this superior of Hwa-ryeon's?"
-Ah, he's apparently a staff officer and vice-commander of one of the Empire's legions. His name is Arpa...-
As Cindy explained who Arpa was and what kind of person he seemed to be, Su-a realized once again just how vastly larger the world of Endless Universe was compared to Changcheon Murim. She learned that Arpa was a genetically enhanced human, that Cindy had accepted the procedure as well and was now in a state of genetic reinforcement—making her already sensitive body even more responsive and dramatically increasing her combat ability. Hearing about what Hwa-ryeon had gone through made Su-a worried for her sister and eager to meet her. They talked about many things, but what Cindy said at the very end shocked Su-a the most.
"It... it was that amazing?"
-Honestly... I'm only telling you this, Su-a. It felt just as good as when I'm with Master... And the sensation of a man's member changing shape inside me... Honestly, it was a feeling and pleasure I had never experienced even in Changcheon Murim.-
'To be more precise, it felt even better than with Master... but I can't tell Master that. Or Su-a... or Hwa-ryeon... or anyone!!'
As Cindy described her night with Arpa, both women blushed deeply while exchanging lewd stories. Su-a became completely absorbed in Cindy's tale. The situations Cindy described were beyond anything Su-a could have imagined, and hearing them described so vividly stirred Su-a's lust and curiosity without restraint.
Both Su-a and Cindy recalled memories from their time in Changcheon Murim—times when they had given their bodies to men other than Kang Hyun. As those memories and the strange, erotic feelings resurfaced, the two women blushed while sharing stories only women could share, growing excited and engrossed without even realizing it.
-And... Arpa asked me to tell you that he's coming to see you. He said he wants to propose a deal.-
"A deal? What kind of deal?"
-...Well, it seems... in exchange for letting you meet Hwa-ryeon... he wants to embrace you... HAHA...-
Cindy's awkward laugh as she spoke so bluntly made Su-a's face burn even hotter.
"...So, would this Arpa person... demand my body the same way he did with you, Cindy...?"
-...Probably... No, I'm certain he will.-
"......"
-Don't worry too much. He's not the type to take a woman by force. At first, I certainly slept with him on Master's orders, but... later, I chose it myself and willingly gave myself to him.-
"Sigh~ Since it's a decision you made, Cindy, I won't say whether it's right or wrong... but honestly, hearing that something like that might happen to me too... it makes me hesitate..."
-The choice is entirely yours, Su-a. I was simply asked to pass on the proposal. Why don't you meet him first and decide? You want to know about Hwa-ryeon too, don't you?-
While Su-a pondered Cindy's words, Omega and Gamma returned after finishing item retrieval. She asked Cindy to hold on for a moment, paused their conversation, and decided to head back. After all, staying in a hunting ground like this could be dangerous.
