The Women's Dormitory
The apocalypse era.
Fighting zombies and surviving was naturally the top priority, but thinking long-term, growing strong in the early days was equally crucial. Growing well meant acquiring achievements, traits, and skills related to combat and survival—though there were other important areas too.
One such area had nothing to do with fighting or survival, yet was undeniably vital: food production.
"Dongwoo will handle that part."
Dongwoo, who possessed traits related to fishing and farming, would take responsibility for food production. And there was one more critical field.
"People."
To become the ruler of the apocalypse, the ability to command people was essential. There were many ways to manage people, but Kang Dohyun chose the easiest—and most pleasurable—method.
It was subjugating women through sex.
To earn achievements, Kang Dohyun began his preparations.
"First, clear out the zombies near the women's dormitory."
Eliminating the zombies came first. Before hunting, he wrapped his axe blade in cloth.
"Let's test this."
He now had two offensive passive skills: Strong Strike and Axe Mastery. If he could kill a zombie in one hit even with the blade wrapped like a blunt weapon, he could reduce noise while also preventing the axe from embedding in the zombie's body.
He approached a zombie that was separated from the others. And then—
"Thwack!"
"Gueeek..."
The cloth-wrapped axe struck, and the zombie dropped dead instantly.
"Works fine. Let's hunt like this."
Using the axe, Kang Dohyun went around killing the zombies around the women's dormitory one by one.
By the time the sun began to set, he had eliminated all thirty zombies surrounding the building. Thanks to the students holding the siege at the main building, the zombie numbers were low—so as long as he didn't make too much noise, no more would be drawn in.
Kang Dohyun entered the women's dormitory.
"No zombies on the first floor, but the problem is—no women either."
The first floor's layout allowed zombies to break in through windows, so no female students remained in those rooms. He headed upstairs to the second floor.
"Grrr..."
Zombies remained in the second-floor corridor. More than ten of them crowded the narrow hallway.
Kang Dohyun drew his crossbow. Bolts were precious, but wasting them was a risk to his life.
"Take them out one at a time."
He loaded a bolt and fired from the maximum distance.
"Thwump... thwack!"
The bolt pierced a zombie's head, and it collapsed.
"Gueeeek!"
The other zombies recognized him and immediately moved in.
"Thwump, thwack! Thwump, thwack!"
He eliminated two more zombies with the crossbow, then swung the axe at the ones that closed in.
"Thwack! Thwack! Thwump! Thwack!"
Controlling his distance carefully, he backed away while striking each zombie's head with the axe. A razor-thin action—almost like art—he dispatched eight zombies in succession.
He had reached level three.
With all the zombies on the second floor eliminated, he quickly checked the surroundings using Presence Detection.
"No zombies left on the second floor."
Fortunately, he detected no unusual movement from the zombies on the third floor either.
"For now, the second floor can be considered a safe zone."
Kang Dohyun immediately retrieved the bolt embedded in a zombie's head and quickly reorganized his combat gear. After taking a sip of water to finish up, he lightly knocked on the door of a room where someone was present.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Is anyone inside? I've come to help."
"......"
Someone was inside, but naturally there was no response. They were all terrified.
"Restless, huh."
Through Presence Detection, he could sense the woman inside growing anxious.
"Since you won't open up, I'll leave some food and water at the door and go."
He placed a small bread roll and a bottle of water in front of the entrance. He repeated this greeting and left bread and water at all seven rooms on the second floor where women were surviving.
He waited exactly thirty minutes in a corner of the second-floor corridor. When he checked again—
"As expected."
All the bread and water he'd left at the doors had disappeared.
They had been isolated in their rooms for a week. The tap water would have stopped running, and food would naturally have run out. In a situation like this, water and bread were hard to refuse—human instinct took over.
He waited ten more minutes. Checking with Presence Detection, most of the movement had stopped.
"That should be enough."
Kang Dohyun smashed the door lock with his axe and forced open the first woman's dorm room.
"Zzzzzzz"
Inside, the woman was asleep in her bed. The bread and water he'd given her contained sleeping drugs.
First, to prevent any unexpected intrusions, he closed the dorm door and used a crowbar to wedge it shut. Then he approached the woman and examined her face.
"Average."
Not a beauty, but not an ugly woman either—just an ordinary face.
After confirming she was deeply asleep, he began by removing her clothes.
"Her figure is decent too."
Not a well-toned body, but an ordinary one. Her breasts were somewhat large, but she had a fair amount of belly fat—a plain, unremarkable figure.
After checking her face and body, he pulled out a cable tie. He bound her ankles, then her wrists.
Then he stripped off his own pants, applied lubricant to his erect member, and inserted himself into her.
"Squelch."
"Haaah..."
And so Kang Dohyun began to rape the sleeping woman.
In the apocalypse, a woman's sexuality was one of the weapons available. It was only natural that women would sell or offer their bodies to capable men in exchange for survival.
But this was still the early stage of the apocalypse—a time when the concept of sex had not yet shifted. Moreover, with the value of food and supplies not yet established, the likelihood that she would engage in sex work simply because he gave her food or goods was slim.
But he didn't have much time, so he chose sleep rape to quickly have sex with as many women as possible.
Kang Dohyun swung his hips hard.
"Squelch, thwack! Squelch, thwack!"
"Ugh, ugh!.. Haaah!.. Ugh!"
The sound of two bodies colliding and the woman's soft moans in her sleep echoed through the room.
"Nice. It's been a while since I've had a woman."
As he swung his hips vigorously, the sensation of climax approached.
"Ah."
His hips finally stopped.
"Glug, glug, glug."
His semen filled the woman's womb.
"Haaah."
Feeling refreshed, he pulled his cock out of her.
"Drip, drip."
His semen flowed out of her.
He had sleep-raped a woman he'd never seen before. Even in the apocalypse, Kang Dohyun felt a slight sense of guilt.
So he took out the supplies he'd prepared and left them in her room: three cans of canned food, two small bottles of water, a pair of leather gloves, and a small hand axe.
These items made for a decent starter kit—and far more than enough payment for sex.
"If you can survive, then survive."
Thinking this, Kang Dohyun left her room and moved to the next dorm room on the second floor.
Three hours was enough. By the time Kang Dohyun had raped all seven women on the second floor and exited the women's dormitory—
He had violated every female student living on the second floor, left payment in each room, and left the dormitory.
The sun had already set.
Kang Dohyun returned to the large pension he had secured during the day.
He entered the cleanest room in the pension, set down the bag he was carrying, and stripped off his clothes.
"Ah, the smell."
After a full day of busy movement and combat, a terrible stench of sweat and blood clung to him.
Water still ran at the pension, so Kang Dohyun quickly showered and rinsed the outer surface of his leather clothes.
After finishing his wash, he began eating combat rations.
While eating his late dinner, he reviewed the day's events.
"About forty zombies killed, and seven women raped."
For a first day, it was a satisfying result. The number of zombies killed was low, but having taken seven women was deeply gratifying.
Right now, the women would curse and resent—no, condemn him for raping them. But if they survived the zombie apocalypse, they would eventually understand him.
One act of sex in exchange for food, water, and weapons—that was truly generous payment.
"You have to accept new ethics to survive. I just taught them a little roughly."
Convinced he was a kind rapist, Kang Dohyun finished his dinner and fell asleep.
The next day.
Kang Dohyun woke early and began preparing again.
He went to the boxes in the forest, refilled the bag he'd emptied by giving supplies to the women yesterday, and restocked the hand axes.
Then he immediately scouted the university campus.
"Same as before."
The standoff between the students at the main building and the zombies was unchanged. The students were taking turns using their bodies to block the zombies from entering, while the zombies continued pushing to break through the entrance.
A standoff between tiring humans and tireless zombies—eventually, the zombies would push their way in.
"They need to take those zombies down somehow, but they're not doing it."
It was frustrating to watch, but it wasn't his problem.
After finishing his scouting, Kang Dohyun headed back to the women's dormitory.
On the second floor—
"Everyone's gone."
The seven female students he had raped were no longer in the dormitory. They had all judged their rooms—with doors now open—as dangerous and moved elsewhere.
Some had taken all the items he'd given them, but others had left behind the canned food and water.
"They probably wondered what was inside and got suspicious. I understand that choice."
After checking the second floor, Kang Dohyun climbed to the third floor of the dormitory.
Six zombies were in the third-floor corridor, and nine female students were holding out in their rooms on the third floor.
"First, eliminate the zombies, then get to work on the third floor today."
And so Kang Dohyun began eliminating the zombies in the third-floor corridor.
