Lee Chaerin (Sakura Mizuki)
The woman who had been forcibly transported on the drone Kang Dohyun was riding.
Lee Chaerin — her real name Sakura Mizuki — her mind was in turmoil.
Why? Why did he spare me?
All her comrades had died by his hand. Yet she alone remained alive, taken as his prisoner.
Does he know about my clan? Or... is there another purpose? Does he know about the trait I possess? That can't be possible.
She knew her appearance was fairly pretty, but the other women on the 12th floor possessed beauty far surpassing her own.
More than anything — he knew my name.
Adding the fact that Kang Dohyun had known her name, Lee Chaerin found the current situation too complex to understand.
Kang Dohyun, carrying Lee Chaerin as he moved, was also thinking several things.
A rose steeped in deadly poison. But worth it.
Lee Chaerin was half-Korean, half-Japanese, and dangerous — trained in ninja arts, capable of various espionage operations.
But she had multiple kinds of value.
First, her brother becomes a prominent ability user representing Japan, right?
Her brother would become a truly famous warrior in Japan. And then —
And I heard she has a special trait... if my memory is correct.
He couldn't remember her trait precisely, but if she possessed a special one, she was a woman worth keeping.
The drone Kang Dohyun had been riding arrived at the rooftop of the building where they had departed from Busan.
Thud.
Kang Dohyun landed on the rooftop holding Lee Chaerin, dismissed the drone back to its inventory, and looked up at the sky.
Still daytime.
Plenty of time remaining. Kang Dohyun set Lee Chaerin down and even removed the gag he had placed in her mouth.
With the gag removed, Lee Chaerin's mouth was free, but she still remained silent.
From her perspective, Kang Dohyun was an extremely dangerous enemy. The man who had massacred her comrades — she guarded herself against him as she would against a mortal foe, yet maintained a smile on her face.
"Miss Lee Chaerin, I have a lot to ask you."
"But... if I answer your questions, you'll kill me, won't you?"
Kang Dohyun had promised to spare their lives when urging surrender, yet killed everyone the moment they surrendered. So when she said this —
"I like people who have value. So if you show me your worth, I'll let you live."
At those words, Lee Chaerin smiled, but inside she thought:
He's crazy — and a liar to boot.
That was what she thought.
The conversation between Kang Dohyun and Lee Chaerin flowed in strange directions.
"What's your name?"
"Lee Chaerin."
"The NC Department Store group you belonged to — it's connected to Japan, isn't it?"
"Connected to Japan? We have connections, but nothing special. A few people who had studied abroad in Japan were part of the group, that's all."
"Don't speak in circles. Tell me straight — you're Japanese intelligence agents, aren't you?"
"No. We're ordinary citizens of the Republic of Korea. There were a few Japanese exchange students, but that was it."
Though Lee Chaerin was beautiful, she was a hardened spy who had been brainwashed from childhood. Moreover, she was an elite who had received additional ninja training.
She mixed lies with truth, weaving cunning answers to Kang Dohyun's questions. All of it laced with her feminine wiles.
Kang Dohyun, continuing this strange conversation with Lee Chaerin, reached a conclusion.
There's no point in continuing to talk with a viper like this.
He judged that further conversation would yield nothing good. So —
"Well... first things first."
He muttered to himself, then pulled a sleeping bag from his bag. He spread it on the rooftop and laid Lee Chaerin on top of it.
"Uh... what, what are you trying to do?"
She asked, her expression flustered for the first time.
"I'm going to satisfy my sexual urges. With your body."
Seeing Kang Dohyun calmly announce that he was going to rape her, Lee Chaerin spoke with an even more flustered expression.
"D-don't touch me! If you maintain a good relationship with me, you'll gain a lot. My brother is a soldier in the Japan Self-Defense Forces. He's quite strong. So! Don't you dare touch me!"
She mixed in some truth, trying to persuade him, but his hands mercilessly stripped off her clothes.
"Oh! Nice body too."
A well-maintained figure matching her outstanding appearance was revealed. The size and shape of her breasts were good, but what pleased Kang Dohyun most was the curve of her hip line.
"Please! Don't do this! Hey!"
As Lee Chaerin's voice started to rise, Kang Dohyun pulled off her panties —
Mmph!
— stuffed them into her mouth, then put the gag back in so she couldn't speak.
"Loud moans wouldn't be good, so let me shut your mouth for now."
And now, with most of her clothes removed — no, torn away — Lee Chaerin was naked. He touched her pussy, but it wasn't wet yet.
"I can't be bothered to foreplay with you."
He took lube from his bag, slathered it thickly on his cock, and immediately inserted it into her pussy.
Thrust.
"Ughhhh!!!"
As his not-insignificant-sized cock invaded her cunt, Lee Chaerin let out a pained moan. And then —
"Oh?"
Red blood flowed from her pussy. Lee Chaerin had been a virgin.
"A virgin? I didn't expect that. Still, that's good."
Even after discovering she was a virgin, Kang Dohyun moved his hips roughly.
Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!
"Mmph! Mmph! Hrrngh!"
Lee Chaerin was in agony, but Kang Dohyun showed no consideration, brutally raping her.
After about twenty minutes of fucking —
"Ngh!"
Kang Dohyun's hip movements stopped. And then —
Gush, gush, gush.
White liquid poured through his urethra, beginning to fill the inside of Lee Chaerin's pussy.
After he finished ejaculating to his satisfaction, he pulled his cock out of her cunt.
Drip, drip.
White semen tinged with red flowed from Lee Chaerin's pussy.
After the sex was over, Lee Chaerin — who had been raped — was crying. Seeing her weep, Kang Dohyun felt satisfied.
"Now you look a bit more like an ordinary woman."
And at that moment —
— Lee Chaerin's trait, 'Skill Transferrer', has activated, awakening a new skill.
Acquired by taking Lee Chaerin's virginity.
"Oh!"
There had been information that the trait Lee Chaerin possessed was remarkable, but he hadn't known what kind of trait it was. Fortunately, he had confirmed it through sex.
So Kang Dohyun checked the new skill he had obtained.
'One-Strike Support'... It's a skill that complements my 'One-Strike' trait.
It was a trait that doubled the activation probability of One-Strike — which dealt 10x damage — and it was no exaggeration to say it also doubled the power of One-Strike. An incredible skill had appeared.
Kang Dohyun confirmed his new skill and spoke to Lee Chaerin with a smile.
"Really, this is good. So you had a trait like this."
Wanting to hear her answer, he removed the gag from her mouth and took out the panties.
"..."
The venomous Lee Chaerin wept quietly, bitterly, shooting a gaze of hatred at Kang Dohyun.
Lee Chaerin was heartbroken and sorrowful. The special trait she possessed — she had been saving it for her half-brother.
Born a half-Korean, half-Japanese hybrid, never properly acknowledged by her clan — that was her life.
Because she possessed a special trait, she had wanted to offer her virginity to her brother, make him strong, gain recognition from the clan, and live as a true Japanese.
But Kang Dohyun had destroyed everything.
However, she didn't have much time to grieve.
The deliberation in Kang Dohyun's mind vanished.
I got what I needed through rape.
The fact that Lee Chaerin was the younger sister of a Japanese ability user still held value, but it was too troublesome to keep a viperous ninja woman like her by his side. So he picked up his axe.
"Why?... Are you going to kill me?"
"Yes. I've already gotten what I needed from you, haven't I?"
As he answered casually that he would kill her, Lee Chaerin panicked.
"I'm grateful for the skill I got from your trait. So I'll kill you painlessly."
"W-wait! My trait is still active! My trait is one that gives a skill every year!"
Wanting to live, Lee Chaerin spoke in detail about her trait.
"Oh? Really?"
At Lee Chaerin's words, Kang Dohyun's expression shifted. Seeing this, she spoke further to survive.
"It's true. If you keep me alive, you can gain more skills."
"Hmm?"
As Kang Dohyun hesitated slightly, she pressed further.
"Don't you have allies around you? Even other men — if they sleep with me, they'll gain skills too."
Desperate to live, she even said it would be fine for other men to sleep with her, trying to persuade Kang Dohyun. Yet when he still looked at her with suspicion, she finally —
"Look at my status window yourself."
— revealed her own status window, showing him her trait.
Kang Dohyun confirmed the trait in the status window Lee Chaerin had disclosed.
It's true?
The trait she possessed, 'Skill Transferrer', was the ability to awaken a new skill in any man she had sex with — and it activated once per year.
For now, Kang Dohyun put down the axe he had been holding. And he fell into thought again.
She's a woman of high value.
Killing her would be too wasteful. If he kept her alive, he could gain a skill every year, and other men — including Dohun — could also obtain skills.
I need to keep her with me, though.
He fell into thought about how to manage Lee Chaerin.
