Days on the Uninhabited Island
The moment October 1st arrived.
"Begin!"
At Kim Harin's command, everyone living on the uninhabited island simultaneously began searching the shop window for items.
Kim Harin had received a shopping list from Kang Dohyun via text message and shared it with the others, so after three minutes had passed—
"I found one healing potion!"
Lee Dongwoo, who had done this many times before, was the first to announce good news.
"Four strength buff potions!"
Lee Gaeun spoke next.
"I found stamina buff potions too!"
Kim Daeun, one of the three slaves, had also found a buff potion. And finally—
"Here, at the far right of the 4/5 checkpoint, there's an Ancient Blessing Scroll! Everyone, buy as many of these as you can!"
With Kim Harin's discovery of the Ancient Blessing Scroll, the people on the island used all their remaining coins to stock up on scrolls.
After completing the Q3 settlement purchases, Kim Harin said—
"Please place everything you bought on the table."
Everyone set their purchased items on the table.
"One healing potion, four strength buff potions, five stamina buff potions, and thirty-three Ancient Blessing Scrolls."
After tallying up what they'd bought, she sent a message:
She sent the report, and a reply came back from Kang Dohyun praising her work.
"Dohyun-ssi says we all worked hard and did a great job."
At his praise, Dongwoo and the slave girls beamed with joy.
Receiving further instructions from Kang Dohyun, Kim Harin acted immediately.
"Dongwoo-ssi, please take care of the Ancient Blessing Scrolls."
It was only natural for Lee Dongwoo, who managed the farming, to handle the Ancient Blessing Scrolls.
"I'll store all the other items in the special vault in the underground bunker."
Kim Harin placed the remaining items into the special vault—a container that allowed items to be stored but could only be opened by Kang Dohyun—wrapping up the organization neatly.
After exchanging thanks for everyone's hard work, they each retired to their rooms.
Kim Harin was satisfied with the day's accomplishments.
'Dohyun-nim praised me for doing well.'
As she felt proud of herself—
"Ahh… haaang!"
"Dongwoo-ssi, I love you! Haaah!"
Moans from Lee Dongwoo and the women on the second floor drifted down. Hearing those sounds almost every day…
'I'm envious.'
Kim Harin felt envious. Still, her man wasn't here right now.
'Let me just fall asleep quickly.'
She tried to sleep, but her body began to heat up. In the end, she—
"Ah… ugh… ah… haaah…"
She finally managed to fall asleep after using the sex toy kept in Kang Dohyun's room to comfort herself.
The next morning, breakfast was always prepared by Lee Dongwoo and his women. But during the process—
"Hohoho! Dongwoo-ssi, you're so funny."
"That's not how you prep the ingredients, you know?"
"Hehe, yesterday was great too."
"Dongwoo-ssi, stop. I'll do it."
The strange relationship between the three women and Dongwoo was truly warm and harmonious. The way the women kept each other in check while working to maintain good relations with Dongwoo was quite unique.
Anyway, when the time came, breakfast was ready, and all five of them ate together.
After breakfast, Kim Harin did some light exercise in the front yard of the house.
"Haaah… haaah… haaah…"
Lee Gaeun, who had come out first to exercise, was already sweating profusely and working out with real intensity.
'She's working so hard today too.'
Since arriving on the island, Lee Gaeun had devoted most of her time to exercise. Beside her, Kim Harin did her prescribed morning routine at her own pace.
After finishing her morning exercise, Kim Harin went back to her room. She opened her status window and logged into the community.
On the 'KOREA' board that Kim Harin managed, more than a hundred posts had been written since the previous night, and comments were flooding in.
'What kind of incidents happened today?'
The board Kim Harin managed was the first one that appeared when anyone logged into the community, so naturally, all sorts of incidents and accidents were bound to occur.
With so many people using the board, there were all kinds of people—including some strange and crazy ones.
The good news was that posting cost one coin, which limited how fast posts could appear.
Still, there was plenty of troublemaking, especially in the free comment sections where incidents erupted daily.
'This person gets a first warning, this person gets a second warning, and this person gets a third warning!'
She had clearly stated the warning penalties in the announcements. A first warning meant a 7-day ban on posting and commenting, a second warning meant a 30-day ban, and a third warning meant a permanent ban on both.
Even so, there were far too many people causing trouble.
'And this post needs its comments disabled, and this one needs to be hidden.'
When a post itself was problematic, she had to disable comments or hide it from public view.
Many people expressed dissatisfaction with Kim Harin's board management, but since the announcements had firmly stated that all judgment criteria were at the administrator's discretion, she didn't accept any complaints.
By the time she finished managing the board, lunchtime was already approaching.
When Kim Harin went down to the kitchen, Lee Gaeun had arrived earlier than the scheduled time and was already prepping ingredients.
"You arrived early."
"Yes, today we're making spicy stir-fried pork, so I was prepping the vegetables."
Lee Gaeun treated Kim Harin with great respect. Even though Kim Harin was younger, she was the older brother's woman and Lee Gaeun was the younger brother's woman, so she gave her the deference due to an elder sister-in-law.
"Do you think this seasoning is right?"
"Yes, this amount should be good."
The two women were polite with each other, yet friendly enough to chat casually.
"Yesterday, during the Q3 settlement, I finally earned the Exercise Fanatic achievement."
"Congratulations!"
Lee Gaeun had finally earned the exercise achievement she had wanted so badly.
"Now I can stand tall in front of Dohun-ssi."
Kang Dohun had even given Lee Gaeun his 'Bracelet of Training (U)' before leaving, so she had worked out incredibly hard.
She had always felt grateful and apologetic toward him, so it was a relief to finally earn an exercise-related achievement during this quarter's settlement.
"That's great. I need to become a more useful woman for Dohyun-ssi too…"
The two women chatted about various things while preparing lunch.
Lunch was eaten together by all five, and once the meal was over, everyone put on work clothes and rubber boots and headed to the fields.
For two hours after lunch, all six residents of the uninhabited island worked the farm simultaneously.
"Harin-ssi and Gaeun-ssi, you don't have to do this."
Lee Dongwoo said, but the two women went to the fields anyway and helped with miscellaneous tasks. No one forced them to farm, but it had naturally become farming time.
At 3 PM, Kim Harin and Lee Gaeun stopped farming and returned home. Lee Gaeun went to her room to start indoor exercise, and Kim Harin—
"Let's work hard on cooking today too."
Her afternoon routine was creating preserved foods with powerful buffs by combining her skills with the special-effect crops Lee Dongwoo had grown.
"If I make beet jam with a stamina buff…"
She researched and created preserved foods that could be stored and eaten for as long as possible.
Dinner had been agreed to be handled individually, so Kim Harin made a light meal with basic side dishes and went to her room. Then—
'More troublemakers have been causing chaos again.'
After about an hour of community management—
'I need to do my evening exercise.'
She did a light evening workout on the treadmill. During breaks, she exchanged text messages with Kang Dohyun, chatting about various things and gathering necessary information.
Lately, Kang Dohyun had been asking a lot of questions about Lee Gaeun.
'Why? Should I ask?'
She was curious, but she didn't ask any deeper questions—she just told him she was continuing to exercise and live her life as usual.
That was actually all there was to it. From morning until evening, aside from eating, sleeping, and farming, she spent all her time exercising.
After checking on the preserved dishes she'd made during the day and verifying that the stored foods in the underground warehouse were in good condition—
'It's already 10 PM.'
Bedtime was approaching. After a quick evening shower, she came out.
'Oppa sent another message.'
A message from her older brother, Kim Jihun, had arrived.
He had sent three messages in a row. Kim Harin didn't reply every time her brother messaged her, citing that she had no zombie coins, but—
'I should reply at least once a week.'
It had been a week since her last reply, so she wrote one and sent it.
The first line was always the same, because Kim Jihun always sent messages saying he would rescue her.
She also shared a little of the information she'd been permitted to give by Kang Dohyun with Kim Jihun.
At 11 PM, Kim Harin put on her pajamas and lay down in bed.
'It was an ordinary day.'
At first, she had thought the time spent managing the community was a waste, but since Kang Dohyun had said it was important, she was fine with it.
Farming was a communal labor shared by everyone living on the uninhabited island.
And the remaining time was spent on exercise and cooking—exercise was essential for maintaining her physical condition, and cooking was increasing her value as her 'Buff Cooking Semi-Expert' achievement strengthened the buff effects.
She was about to fall asleep, satisfied with the day's routine, when—
"Haaah… haaang! Haaahaaang!"
Once again, moans from Lee Dongwoo and the women on the second floor drifted down.
'Haa…'
Kim Harin tried to endure it and sleep, but a short while later—
"Ugh… ugh… huuugh…"
Today, even the moans from Lee Gaeun's room next door could be heard. She sometimes masturbated too, and since this house was a hastily assembled prefab building, the sounds carried all the way to Kim Harin's room.
"……"
In the end, Kim Harin couldn't hold back anymore. She took out her own sex toy, stifled her moans, and indulged herself thoroughly before finally falling asleep.
