The Nature of Cheat Mode

I knelt down between Hanna's legs, settling into position. Avoiding my gaze, she parted her thighs of her own accord.

The pink flesh beneath was laid bare. Her entrance was already glistening with arousal, pitifully puckered and trembling.

With a wet, sticky sound, the head of my cock pried its way into her narrow opening. And then a sensation of something tearing traveled vividly up through my shaft.

"Ah—!"

A cry burst from Hanna's lips. Her slender white legs shook as if in convulsion. Her hands instinctively pushed at my shoulders, but they had no strength in them—they only quivered.

Status Analysis.

I stopped moving for a moment, waiting for her to grow accustomed to the pain. Her pussy gripped my cock ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠with not a fraction of space to spare. It was a suffocating tightness.

I whispered into her ear.

"It's all right, Hanna. It'll feel good soon."

"Haah…! Y-yes… yes…!"

Perhaps my words became her comfort—gradually, the tension drained from Hanna's body. I pushed my hips deep inside her once more.

Thwack!

"Nngh…!"

At last my cock buried itself to the root. I began to move my hips, very slowly. As the initial pain slowly faded, Hanna's pussy began to loosen little by little to match my rhythm. Her arousal flowed freely, making wet, lewd sounds, and her inner walls writhed like a living creature, wrapping around my shaft.

Squelch, squelch!

"Nnnh... ah, ahh...♡"

Hanna's moans quickly turned sweet. She no longer pushed me away—instead, she clung to my neck.

I spread her thighs, hooked them around my waist, and drove myself in even deeper. When the head of my cock crushed against her innermost place, the mouth of her womb, Hanna's body arched like ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠a drawn bow.

"Haang! Nnh…! Something's— wrong... my body's, so hot...♡"

Her mana-refined body was helpless against pleasure it had never known, and her tight inner walls convulsed, greedily sucking me in. That intense stimulation made my hips move faster without my even realizing it. The wet, filthy sounds filled the cavern.

"I-I'm going to—! First Lieutenant... haang♡!"

Hanna screamed and reached her climax first. Her pussy contracted as if in seizure, clamping down on my cock. In that instant, I too spilled hot semen deep into her womb.

"Ngh…!"

For a long while we held each other, gasping for breath. My cock was still buried inside her. I could feel her hot inner walls pulsing rhythmically, milking out the last of my seed.

I slowly raised myself above Hanna's heaving body. As my cock slipped out with a wet sound, hot semen mixed with her arousal trickled down from between her legs. Her damped pubic hair and the white streaks smeared across her thighs looked obscenely vivid beneath the blue glow of the mana crystal.

Hanna lay utterly spent, eyes closed. A red flush bloomed on her cheeks; her expression was a tangle of satisfaction and exhaustion. Without a word, I gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of my hand. Even at that small touch, her body flinched with a shiver of pleasure.

Status Analysis.

I shook her shoulder gently.

"Can you stand, Corporal?"

She tried to raise herself, but her legs gave out and she sank right back down.

"...I'm sorry. My body, it won't..."

I slid my arms beneath her armpits and behind her knees and lifted her up. Carrying her as she was, I returned to her room and laid her carefully on the bed. Then I fetched a towel soaked in warm water and began wiping away the dried traces of semen and blood from her inner thighs.

"Ah..."

She curled up in embarrassment, but she didn't pull away. Once everything was cleaned up, I pulled the blanket up to her chin.

"Rest well. We return to the unit tomorrow."

Instead of answering, she laid her hand over mine. And with a weary face, she smiled faintly.

The next morning, I left Hanna's room and returned to my own. The moment I threw myself into the creaking chair and closed my eyes, the familiar system chime rang out.

It was the outcome I'd expected. I smiled in satisfaction. But the notifications didn't end there. Before I could even check the new skill list, another clear chime rang through my head.

"Oh."

A short exhale of admiration escaped me. The corners of my mouth climbed even higher.

Two levels at once? It seemed to be thanks to the massive influx of experience from completing Hanna's mana awakening and the regimental commander's mission. But the system messages refused to stop.

"…Holy shit."

A curse slipped out in my astonishment. Three levels at once? No—more than that, I was leveling up from this? Only then did the filename I'd forgotten surface in my mind. Harem Overload All-in-One Mod.

A hollow laugh burst out of me. Of course. This wasn't just cheat mode—it was adult cheat mode. It was telling me that screwing a woman earned the same rewards as grinding through battlefields and risking my life on successful operations.

Frankly, from my standpoint, that suited me just fine. Better to spend my days charming women than breaking my bones on the front lines.

In any case, what mattered right now was the skill points. Three whole points had appeared. I turned my gaze to the translucent window floating before my eyes.

I checked the [Acquire New Skill] list first. With three points, I could potentially pick up three new skills.

[Bullet Time] was the same as ever. Without hesitation, my eyes dropped to the second skill. It was one I'd never seen before.

Interferes with the bio-energy of a target through direct touch, hmm…

I swallowed an inner hum. The effects themselves didn't look bad.

By interfering with bio-energy, it could deliver healing, pain, or pleasure. On that alone, its range of applications seemed virtually limitless.

But there was one fatal flaw. The activation condition: a target you touch with your hands.

In other words, [Touch of Attunement] could only be used on contact. That was the part I liked least of all.

I'd be dead from a bullet or an axe before I ever laid a hand on anyone.

This game world was no pushover.

So I debated whether to level up a different skill instead. The candidates were [Status Analysis] and [Charming Speechcraft]. For reference, the tooltip noted that [Minimap] and [Strong Mind] could not be leveled.

Hmm… what do I do?

I started weighing [Status Analysis] first.

The moment it hit Level 2, it had uncovered Hanna's talent and even glimpsed Seraphina's secret. Its performance in the Ashen Forest had been especially outstanding. It let me make full use of Hanna's gift, saw through the Spatial Trap, and after locating the enemy positions, parsed the orcs' complacency and core strength—letting me hand the mission to Private Klaus, a sniper specialist, and clinch a ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠complete victory.

And that wasn't all. Afterward I earned the praise of both company and regimental commanders, and here at this mana spring facility I'd even ended up with Hanna. From combat to human relationships, [Status Analysis] had held an absolutely decisive share in every one of my successes over the past few weeks.

The conclusion was clear. Without hesitation, I pressed the [Enhance Existing Skill] button.

"Yes."

Maximum level?

After poking around a bit, it seemed it could no longer be enhanced any further.

I felt a pang of regret at being unable to push [Status Analysis] any higher.

But then again, that just means its performance is that reliable.

Taking the optimistic view, I looked over the remaining system message.

…Sexual experience?
