Seo A-jeong: Technologies of 2021?
The setting of this novel is Earth in a parallel universe.
The front door seemed to open with a keypad lock. The yard connected to this eight-hundred-pyeong estate was vast in its own right, complete with a small mini pool.
"Wow… the taxes on this place…"
"A-jeong. Just don't think about it. The Constellation gave it to us, so…"
Through institutional reform, Korea's real estate tax code has also been adjusted. To be classified as a villa or mansion, the first-floor building area must be at least 201 pyeong.
"This is just a house. Two hundred pyeong means it's a house."
"Ah… honey. It's so unreal. This building alone is four stories…"
"The first floor is a warehouse. Four floors… and wow, even an elevator."
Well, at two hundred pyeong, an elevator hardly seemed extravagant. And since the memory that my living quarters were on the fourth floor had already settled into my head, I stepped into the elevator and pressed four.
"If we bought this normally… how much would it cost?"
"No idea. A two-hundred-pyeong house in Seoul is hard to even imagine."
Probably something on the scale of what a chaebol chairman would live in. Of course, if the taxes weren't a concern, it could easily be even larger.
I smirked, and before long we arrived at the fourth floor. The elevator opened directly into a foyer with a shoe cabinet.
Looks like you could install an extra door if you wanted.
A pillar structure between the elevator and the entrance suggested a door could be fitted there without trouble. Hangang Jium's foyer had been impressive enough, but here the ceiling height must have been a full three meters, making everything feel even more grand.
"Holy shit — is this all marble?"
Not fake patterned stuff, either. Real marble, layered thick everywhere. And the shoes… I hadn't bought a single pair, yet the cabinet held what looked like a hundred pairs.
A gift from the Constellation. For each woman, clothing, shoes, and even underwear have been stocked throughout her designated building according to her tastes. Should her measurements change, the clothes will change with them — so wear them freely.
Thank you.
So Jeong-mi hadn't brought any of this over. This house was already full of my things. Which meant the third floor for Hye-yun and the second for A-jeong would be packed with their clothes as well.
"A-jeong. Before you head to school tomorrow, stop by your place on the second floor. The Constellation gifted you clothes and shoes and everything."
"What? …Oh, I'm really grateful, but… where am I supposed to say thank you?"
A-jeong's eyes lit up as she gazed at my shoes. Every dress shoe looked refined, crafted from luxurious leather, and the sneakers were all the latest models, every style you could want.
"Into the air. Just say it — She'll hear you."
"Thank you, Constellation."
"And Jini is the one who helps us."
"Ah. Thank you, Jini."
Yes. Please tell her the greeting was well received.
"She says she received your greeting. Jini did."
"Ah… is She always watching over us?"
"Over me."
Proof that a god existed. Once you knew a god was real, something about it felt reassuring — solid. I felt that every single day.
"Honey. We're living here. Got it?"
"Yeah… it's a waste, but we probably should. Ugh… the apartment's already being filled with furniture and electronics… such a waste. Overconsumption…"
"Then just leave it. Instead of renting it out, we can bounce around living in different places. Sell it around the end of next year."
"Should we?"
Jeong-mi's villa. The house I'd lived in at Hyeon-ju's place. Hangang Jium. And this Suseo-dong mansion. Those were the ones we'd hold onto for now. Next year we could dispose of whatever needed disposing.
Should I tell Jeong-mi to stop taking in more students at the villa?
I smirked and shook my head.
"Look around for now. You know where the master bedroom is, right? The layout matches the one in your head, so go rest in the master bedroom. Or do you want to grab some clothes first?"
"Yes… I'll go down to the second floor."
Flushed pink, she walked back toward the elevator. I continued down the long corridor.
Damn. Two hundred pyeong is insanely big…
When I reached what I guessed was the living room near the center of the house, a space that alone must have been fifty or sixty pyeong unfolded before me.
Whoa… what the hell is that TV?
A 2021-model AMOLED TV from another dimension. Every electronic device here was brought from that world's 2021. Do not take them outside, and do not bring anyone in.
"Got it…"
It looked at least a hundred inches. A massive screen — and yet so thin I could only stare blankly at the TV hanging on the wall.
I sank into the sofa and looked around the living room. All sorts of paintings, and a parade of electronic devices I'd never seen before. I couldn't tell what half of them were, so I just stared.
So this is what life in the future looks like.
I snorted.
Six bedrooms, seven bathrooms. Same room count as the Hangang Jium penthouse, except every single one was twice the size. Each bedroom had its own bath, and the main bathroom's tub was supposedly big enough for five adults with room to spare.
I picked up the phone and called Jeong-mi.
"Yes, Master."
"Have you been here?"
"Yes. One moment."
"Is it better to live here or there?"
"Obviously there. The devices are clearly from the future, it's more comfortable to live in, and if we're preparing for the future, that place is better."
"But we already bought furniture and electronics when we moved into the other place. What are we supposed to do about the waste?"
"We'll donate some to the less fortunate. A few orphanages would be thrilled."
"You want to live here?"
"Yes…"
"Then… sell the houses once the prices go up a bit, or rent them out. Keep just the two penthouses. Donate what we can donate, bring over what we can bring. And tell the women to dispose of any real estate they need to dispose of, quickly."
"Yes. A few of the rooms there don't have assigned purposes yet, so they're empty. We can bring all the furniture. As for the electronics… we won't need them at all…"
"Right… after looking at this stuff, I don't know how anyone could go back to watching those."
I picked up the remote and turned on the TV. The picture quality looked worse than expected, so I shut it right back off.
Of course. The broadcast quality sent by the networks is inferior… Once you view footage shot with the cameras provided to you, you will understand their true worth.
Got it…
"Where are you planning to live? Unit One is owned by Hye-yun, me, and A-jeong — the three of us."
"Eun-hee unnie, Hyeon-ju unnie, and I are Unit Three. The one to the right of Master's place. We'll just leave it empty and live at Hye-yun unnie's."
"Fine. Do that."
"When should we move in?"
"Hmm… everyone come in tomorrow."
"Thank you."
My throat was dry. Once the call ended, I walked to the kitchen. Speaking of which — LG? The TV earlier had been Samsung, and now this. Not LD Electronics either — an unfamiliar name that made me hesitate to touch it. I stared blankly at the refrigerator.
When I opened the door, it was packed with beer and bottled water. I grabbed a water bottle and gulped it down.
And what the hell is Evian?
When I closed the door, it briefly turned transparent, revealing the contents inside — then went opaque again.
"Whoa…"
I headed toward the master bedroom at the very back. Across from it, a door labeled Pet Room caught my eye, so I opened it.
Inside was a fairly large room — about the size of Hyeon-jin's penthouse master bedroom — with ten doghouses lined up. There was a cat tower, and metal poles fixed in the air that looked like pathways for cats to travel along.
I approached one of the houses.
"You reflected this too?"
Bora
I stared blankly at the doghouse of Lee Yu-ra, who had voluntarily demoted herself from wife to bitch. Peering inside, it looked enormously spacious and comfortable.
"What's that?"
A rectangular object, like a miniature TV, was mounted inside. I was curious what it was.
That is a smart pad. Think of it as a laptop you operate by touch.
"Ah…"
There are several in your room and study as well — use them. The golden pad in your study is linked to every pad in this mansion. Use it when issuing commands.
Boyeon
Poppy
Three doghouses stood side by side. The rest were completely empty.
"Hmm…"
I left that room and entered the master bedroom. A simple interior greeted me. A small terrace was visible, along with a large bed, a desk, and a laptop. Stepping further in, I saw a dressing room leading to the bathroom, and a massive built-in wardrobe set into the wall.
"Ah…"
A chandelier hung overhead like something out of a movie. I snorted, pulled off my top, and set it on the desk. Spotting a chair, I approached — and found a sheet of A4 paper stuck beside it.
Massage Chair
Operating Instructions
Holy…
I snorted again and just flopped onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. It felt like I'd been possessed by a ghost.
Every room in this building is fitted with dozens of high-resolution CCTV cameras.
"What? …Why CCTV?"
They are superior to any camera currently in existence. You can view the CCTV feeds directly on the wall-mounted TVs, and Googol's AI will activate the camera at the most suitable angle during sex, storing the footage on the main server installed deep underground beneath this residential complex.
Googol? So Google is called Googol over there, I guess?
Which meant video recording happened automatically. No need to set up cameras yourself. I just… stared.
Come to think of it, those hundred-inch TVs from that unfamiliar brand called Samsung were mounted on two of the walls. I'd just assumed they were picture frames and moved on.
Insane…
This wasn't a survival bunker. It felt more like a porn studio. I was so floored I could only gaze blankly into empty air.
I must have lain there for quite a while before I heard the door open. A-jeong came in.
A black dress I hadn't seen before. The distinctive Hermès pattern was visible on it.
"The clothes for tomorrow?"
"I left them in the living room. If I put them here, they might get stained with… fluids."
"Good thinking. But you changed your stockings too?"
"Yes…"
Something about A-jeong stood out — beneath her dress, she'd swapped her ordinary stockings for fishnet ones. Curious, I sat up abruptly to look, and she simply grabbed the hem of her dress and lifted it.
Holy shit… full-body fishnet stockings? Those exist? And no bra, no panties?
She was far too bold. The dress fluttered as it fell, and the world's time seemed to slow. Her C-cup breasts were fully erect, nipples poking through the fishnet mesh, and her pale white pussy glistened wet, catching the chandelier light and shining.
I stared, dumbstruck.
"I was going to put on a garter belt, but tonight I want to spend our first night wearing this."
"Huh… nice. Those holes look pretty big too… shouldn't get in the way."
From beneath her shoulder straps, the fishnet stockings covered her from under her breasts all the way down her legs. The crotch was cut wide open.
"I'll make my formal slave declaration now. Master."
"Hm? …Alright."
A completely different atmosphere from earlier, when she'd mumbled so shyly under her breath. She stood before me without covering herself, bold and resolved, saying she would declare herself a slave.
"Please… take your clothes off too, Master."
"Uh… isn't this a bit too bold?"
A flush of red flooded her face. She lowered her head slightly.
"I heard Jini's voice. And she told me. To receive love, I must submit more and more. The more embarrassed I am, the more Master likes it, because he's a pervert…"
"Ah… you heard that?"
I stared blankly into empty air, but no reply came.
"Did she say anything else?"
"The Constellation gave me a mission. Through Jini. To offer you my body and heart completely. Then… She'll let me glimpse a fragment of the future. A fragment of my future…"
"Ah… and how does She judge success?"
"Just… She knows, apparently?"
Do I get anything? I'm curious about the future too.
Perfect Domination
This is a freebie mission, for the record. Completely subjugate the Seo A-jeong before your eyes. In return, you will receive several hours of randomly selected memories from the future.
Got it… and by "completely," you mean?
This was it. When I'd fretted over my sadistic impulses toward Bit-na, She was offering a solution. Check the future memories and purge the unconscious influence, apparently.
Train her. Seo A-jeong has a strong female-exclusive S-tendency. Success is achieved when her M-tendency manifests. With your abilities, it should be easy enough. Also, I recommend laying a mana concentration array on the bed right now. The bed has an auto-cleaning enchantment for everything except semen, so finish as much as you like. Semen is cleaned after remaining for more than eight hours as well.
Ah… train her?
I recommend being forceful about it. Seo A-jeong was loyal to you, but she reigned as a queen over other women. She will inevitably clash with Jeong Hye-yun someday. Hye-yun at least has an M-tendency, so that is less of a problem, but…
Ah… then I need to do this properly. If I want the two of them to get along. Got it.
Focus less on submission and more on awakening her perversion. In America, you will encounter a woman with an even stronger S-tendency than Seo A-jeong.
What…?
The mention of a woman with a stronger S-tendency than A-jeong left me unsettled. But A-jeong was staring right at me, so I shook off the thought and looked at her.
"A-jeong, I got a mission too. I have to completely tame you. It's going to be forceful — is that okay?"
"Yes… please do it that way."
I stripped off my clothes one by one. And when I stood fully naked, I saw her eyes tremble rapidly.
Fear.
The moment I saw that fear, I smirked and stepped toward her.
"Do the submission declaration properly."
Grrrr!!!
She flinched…
And the elastic threads of her fishnet stockings grew visibly, damply wet.
