Fair Game — Kang Daehyuk Detective Agency

Jeon Sihyun slowly began to push his shaft inside Tatiana. Midway through, he felt a tight, solid barrier blocking his path. Pulling back just a fraction, he slowly wedged himself forward again. Her inner muscles yielded, allowing him to slide all the way inside.

"Ah..." A soft, tearing sound echoed, like a thin sheet of taut rubber splitting open. With a faint, wet trickle, a small stream of blood began to flow.

"Wow," Sihyun let out a soft exclamation of surprise. Tatiana was a virgin. Now fully stretched around him, her core offered an incredibly soft, velvety texture. It felt slick and thoroughly drenched inside. Sihyun slowly began to thrust.

"Haa... nnh... ah...! Ah..." Gasp after gasp escaped Tatiana's lips. Sihyun felt a surge of exhilaration, a strange sense of deep satisfaction washing over him even before reaching his climax. Yet, he did not stop. Flailing her hands blindly, Tatiana tried to grasp at nearby objects for support, only to knock them over. Clatter! Pens and papers swept off the desk, sent flying by her desperate grip.

Sihyun grabbed her right wrist and pulled it behind her back. Her spine arched gracefully at the motion. "Ahhh-hnnh!" She climaxed for the first time. Shuddering violently, her walls clamped down on his shaft with an incredibly tight grip, pinning him in place for a moment. Sihyun paused briefly before resuming his rhythm. It felt fantastic. A refreshing wave of pure dominance washed over him. The urge to release began to build.

"Pfft, hahaha!" A laugh that bordered on a sneer escaped Sihyun's lips, but Tatiana seemed completely oblivious to it.

He ejaculated about five times, and he stopped counting after Tatiana reached her seventh climax. While their stamina was certainly impressive, it wasn't entirely unbelievable considering they were an Absolute Proxy and a Dimension Observer of the S.Y.S. Dimension Bureau. In any case, once they finished, they regained some semblance of composure. Tatiana busied herself with cleaning up the mess they had made. Sihyun, of course, simply watched her from the comfort of the bed.

"Ah, it's dripping over there."

"Be quiet..." Tatiana muttered, her face flushed red as she pulled down her skirt. Even so, she couldn't hide the semen leaking from her core.

"Why did you have to rip my panties in the first place..." The panties, sliced cleanly in two, had been reduced to useless scraps of black fabric. They were completely beyond saving. Tossing them carelessly into the trash can, Tatiana looked at the desk, which was now somewhat organized, and sat down in her ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠chair to face Sihyun.

Sihyun propped himself up slightly on the bed. "What? Want another round?"

"Let's talk business now."

"Is this about being deployed to a world? To stop its collapse?"

"Yes. I will explain the worlds on the brink of destruction that I've prepared, so pick one that looks good and save it."

"What was it again... If I save them, it makes it easier for the Dimension Bureau to extract energy?"

"Exactly."

The S.Y.S. Dimension Bureau required the energy harvested from various worlds to sustain itself. If too many worlds collapsed, the bureau would face an energy deficit, putting its very existence at risk. To prevent this, employees would directly intervene in these worlds, assuming the roles of characters within them. That duty had now fallen upon Jeon Sihyun, the Absolute Proxy, and Tatiana's role was to assist him.

Tatiana spoke up. "The first world is a zombie apocalypse setting."

"Sounds interesting."

"The world's title is [The Only EX-Class Mage in the Zombie Apocalypse]."

"..." It sounded suspiciously like a web novel. Sihyun sighed and shook his head. Were all world titles like this? "What's the story there?"

"The protagonist is an EX-class mage. The premise is that he returned to modern Earth after being summoned to another world, only to find Earth transformed by a zombie apocalypse. The main plot revolves around him flexing his overpowered magic and dominating everyone. The clear condition for this world is to slay the ultimate zombie, Death."

"Sounds generic enough. So why is it on the brink of destruction?"

"The mage is too weak. There is a ninety-nine percent chance he'll fail to kill Death."

"Sucks to be him."

"So, are you interested?"

"Nope."

"..."

Sihyun scoffed in disbelief. "Hey, are you fucking kidding me? I literally just learned one basic-ass skill, and you want me to hunt down the ultimate zombie, Death? Make it make sense."

"...Fair point." Tatiana sighed, picking up the next document. "The next world is... [Reincarnated as a Transcendent Baby]. The clear condition is for the transcendent baby to defeat the Demon King."

"And? Is the baby weak? Well, babies are supposed to be weak."

"The protagonist got into an accident as an infant and is currently comatose in a hospital. Meanwhile, the Demon King has returned right on schedule. With no protagonist to stop him, the world is doomed."

"..." Sihyun frowned, staring at Tatiana. She simply stared back, her mouth forming a flat, unimpressed line. Silence stretched between them. While the sickly, platinum-blonde woman's cold, haughty gaze was quite appealing, the sheer absurdity of the situation took precedence.

"Isn't there a lower-stakes world? Somewhere a weakling like me can actually run wild?"

"As it happens, the last world on my list fits that description perfectly."

"Oh? What kind of world is it?"

"Listen closely..." Tatiana began to explain the third world.

After finishing her explanation, Tatiana cleared away some junk piled in the corner of the office. She dusted off her hands and flipped the power switch on a dilapidated piece of machinery. "Alright, get in. This is the Worldview Warp Portal."

"Wasn't that thrown away? It looks like literal garbage."

"Just get in. The Worldview Warp Portal is a device that transports you to other worlds. It automatically adjusts your identity to fit the narrative."

"I asked if it was garbage. The power light is literally flickering. Isn't it broken?"

"Just get in. The Worldview Warp Portal is extremely expensive, so we must handle it with care."

"You're fucking forcing me to use broken equipment because the company is too cheap to repair it, aren't you?!"

"...Correct."

"Ugh."

The S.Y.S. Dimension Bureau's uncanny resemblance to a toxic Korean corporation made Sihyun want to foam at the mouth. However, seeing the portal hum to life and hover in the air with a strange whirring sound, it seemed the machine wasn't completely broken.

"Don't worry. It's been running for about five thousand years. It's gotten a bit temperamental, but it still works."

"...This place is a total sweatshop."

"We may manage billions of worlds, but a corporation is still a corporation."

"...Fine. No choice, then." Sihyun sighed. "Do I just step inside?" Tatiana nodded. He slowly stepped forward. In that instant, whoosh! His body was violently sucked into the portal.

In the now-empty office, Tatiana sat down and monitored the PC screen. Sihyun's status appeared on the monitor, formatted exactly like lines from a web novel...

Naturally, any terms related to the Dimension Bureau that might disrupt the world's narrative settings were automatically censored.

'Tatiana, where the hell did that crazy bitch send me? Is this really the world of the Kang Daehyuk Detective Agency?'

First of all, he couldn't see. His hands also seemed to be bound. However, escaping a bind like this was child's play for someone who had awakened even a fraction of his power as an Absolute Proxy.

Snap! With a slight flex of his wrists, the restraints snapped completely. Now that his arms were free, he reached up to touch his head. A thick cloth sack ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠was covering his face. He pulled it off, and his surroundings came into focus. Standing before him were two men holding guns, staring at him in sheer panic. Glaring at Sihyun, they screamed:

"How the fuck did he break those?!"

"Shoot him! Kill him now!"

"We need him alive to get the ransom, you idiot! We can't kill him!"

"Fuck!"

It seemed Sihyun had assumed the role of a kidnap victim. He quickly focused his senses. Gradually, a faint white line appeared in his vision, and the flow of time slowed to a crawl. He effortlessly aligned his body with the trajectory of the line. In that instant, One Flash activated.

Cr-cr-crack! Thud! Thud! Having knocked out the three kidnappers in the blink of an eye, Sihyun quickly stood up and surveyed his surroundings. He appeared to be inside an abandoned building. Brushing the dust off his clothes amidst the crumbling debris, he scanned the area. There didn't seem to be anything useful nearby.

'For now... it's probably best to meet Kang Daehyuk.'

Kang Daehyuk, the protagonist of the Kang Daehyuk Detective Agency world. He was supposed to be a brilliant detective with exceptional deductive skills, but a childhood head injury had rendered him incompetent. As a result, he was completely incapable of capturing Black Mask, the target required to clear this world. Sihyun would have to handle it himself.

'Let's head out.' Sihyun slowly pushed the door open and stepped outside. Blinding light flooded his vision, revealing a crowd of police officers staring in his direction. As a former serial killer back on Earth, being surrounded by cops was a deeply unpleasant sensation. However...

"The hostage escaped on his own!"

"Protect him, quickly!"

Seeing the officers rush over to wrap a blanket around his shoulders and hand him a warm cup of tea, Sihyun decided this wasn't so bad after all. He sipped the tea, listening to the officers chatter.

"Chairman Jeon Sihyun, thank goodness you're safe."

"That was a close call. It could have ended terribly."

"Still... thanks to Detective Kang Daehyuk's assistance, we were able to rescue you safely!"

'Ah, right. Tatiana mentioned that the people in this world have an extreme, forced bias toward praising Detective Kang Daehyuk.' It seemed to be a fundamental law of this world's narrative. Sihyun smirked. "Well, it's all thanks to him," he chimed in, playing along with the world's forced narrative bias.

Just as Sihyun finished his tea and was about to go introduce himself to Kang Daehyuk, a man came pushing through the crowd of police officers, panting heavily as he approached. He had a scruffy, stubbly beard along his jaw and upper lip, and his eyes were half-lidded. His messy, unkempt hair gave him a rather rugged look, but his eyes danced with mischief, and he carried a naturally sly, easygoing grin. Smiling from ear to ear, the young man spoke.

"What a relief! A total relief. I really thought you were a goner, Chairman Jeon Sihyun. Haha!" Hearing the man laugh playfully, Sihyun immediately knew who he was.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Kang Daehyuk."

"The pleasure is mine. After all, having my client die on me would be absolutely dreadful."

Just then, a woman standing beside him caught Sihyun's eye. Dressed in casual clothes that subtly resembled a uniform, she roughly ruffled Daehyuk's messy hair and leaned against him. "Seriously, old man, this is no time to be laughing."

"...Haha! Sorry, sorry." Sihyun asked, "Excuse me... but who is the lady next to you?"

"Ah, where are my manners?" Daehyuk looked at the woman with affectionate eyes. "This is my precious assistant, Han Heejin."

"Oh." Fair game.
