Thank You
The outfit she'd thrown at me seemed purpose-built to bottle shamelessness itself.
For one thing, it was absurdly short. The top left my armpits completely exposed — I wasn't convinced it even qualified as a shirt. The bottoms were underwear in all but name.
It would've been kinder to just strip me naked. Wasn't that where this was headed anyway?
"It looks great on you. Ah! I'm not teasing — I mean it for real!"
"..."
"Nngh! You're so cute! How is it even possible to look like this?"
She scooped me into her arms like a teddy bear. Both arms coiled around my body, binding me as tightly as iron-hard roots. I tried to squirm free. It didn't get me anywhere.
A hand slid over my ass — the kind of touch that raised every hair on my body. I flinched on instinct.
It felt like fangs grazing the thin skin of my throat. If she put even a little more force into it, my spine would snap.
I didn't want to end up like that. Even knowing she wouldn't actually do it, I still shrank from that inescapable touch.
Why the hell did I...
...end up like this? Too many questions. The more I thought about it, the less any of it made sense.
Your ability was created to dominate every female in this world!
I will support you with everything I have to achieve that goal!
If anything unusual comes up, tell me immediately!
The update was complete, but the Status Window still wouldn't tell me why my ability had awakened. That wasn't what we'd agreed on.
To dominate every female in this world!
...Forget it. What was the point of even saying anything? This thing had no intention of cooperating with me.
The situation isn't great, but... it's still too early to give up.
Honestly, yeah — my psyche had been smashed to pieces back there. Everything I'd built had come crashing down.
But... there was still hope. I had more than ten days left, and I had skills.
Skills... If there's one that can jack up Submission all at once, that'd be perfect.
I glanced at Jung Sujin. She was just panting, huffing as she groped my body without a shred of restraint.
True to her word, it seemed she wouldn't rape me today. A woman who lived inside her own rules — maybe that was why she kept them. The thought was faintly terrifying.
The Status Window has been updated, and the Skill Shop has undergone extensive changes!
Skills now have ranks. The higher the rank, the more extraordinary the skills available for purchase.
Rank is determined by the number of females in your possession.
A-CLASS — Subjugate Jung Sujin to ascend
The sudden new feature threw me for a second, but I'd already expected plenty of changes once the Status Window updated, so I found my composure again soon enough.
Listing B-class skills in order!
For reference, except for Master of Disguise, every skill you currently possess is C-class!
In other words — these are higher-rank skills!
I'd thought the skills I already had were pretty damn powerful. Apparently not even close...
Your body now advances into unknown territory! All status ailments inflicted upon you are nullified, and some attacks are even reflected! Your physique also becomes a bit sturdier. Your back will hurt less!
Cost: 70P
Upon use, your body vanishes from this world for approximately five minutes. Once this state activates, no ability of any kind can detect you! It does dispel if you touch another person's body... but does that really matter? Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Cost: 100P
I skimmed the skills sitting at the top. Not particularly useful to me right now. Still, they were solid — I filed them away for later.
The one that toughens up body and mind is a little tempting... but I'll break eventually no matter what. It'd just buy me a little time.
What I needed right now was a skill that could raise Submission.
Whatever it was, I needed something like that, no question. I scrolled the skill window as far down as it would go, scanning every line for anything that might help.
Subjugated females serve you and you alone. What? They already do? This skill inscribes a Surrender status ailment on targets who have not been fully subjugated.
Surrender is carved in deeper the more you have sex, and it can stack without limit. While under this status, the target female's Submission becomes increasingly likely to rise.
Cost: 200P
Found it. At last, a skill that actually suited me. A faint sense of liberation washed through me, and hope surged up behind it.
Buy. Right now.
No reason to hesitate. I purchased it on the spot.
A faint tremor ran through my body. Proof the skill had gone through, maybe.
Either way, the hope welling up inside me was undeniable.
"Nnhh...?"
"..."
"Something just happened to your body, didn't it."
"I-I have no idea what you're talking about."
Her instincts were ridiculously sharp. That was animal-level, wasn't it? In more ways than one, she wasn't human...
I avoided her gaze as best I could and played dumb. As long as I didn't say anything, she'd never figure it out.
But those eyes. Those pink irises raked over my body, slow and thorough. The way that inhuman gaze peeled me apart, picking over my small frame — it sent a genuine chill down my spine.
"Hmmm.... I'm pretty sure you just pulled something weird on me. No? Ahahaha..."
"That's... impossible. How could I possibly do anything to you."
"Is that so!"
She patted the top of my head, murmuring to herself.
"Ah. You're seriously adorable. But! I have a favor to ask. You'll listen, right?"
This wasn't may I ask a favor. She'd already decided the answer and was just bullying me into saying it out loud.
I didn't dare refuse, so I gave a small nod. She beamed, stroking my hair with manic enthusiasm, and murmured in a voice that dropped low.
"Uh..."
"All answers will be unified as 'Thank you,' please. If you say anything else... things will get genuinely unpleasant. You will obey. No exceptions!"
No answer was required. Jung Sujin just grinned and yanked my hair.
"This glossy black hair of yours would be perfect for wiping up pussy juice. Aah... I really want to clamp your mouth shut, make you lick my pussy, then turn this into a rag."
"..."
"You're supposed to answer?"
"Th-thank you."
What the hell was this. A faint post-nut clarity was setting in.
"And these pale cheeks, soft as mochi? I want to bite them until they burst. If I rubbed my pussy against them, my juices would soak right in. Perfect fit."
"Th-thank you..."
"Why do you have such a small body? So women can scoop you up and fuck you, right?"
"Thank you..."
"I just want to knock you down and clamp my pussy around your cock. Chomp! Chomp!"
She'd just done that a little while ago. What was she even talking about. I was speechless.
"You'd understand how I feel, right?"
"Thank you..."
"Hmmm. This is less fun than I expected. You can stop now."
"Th-thank you. Thank you."
"Ahahahaha! That terrified look. You're really, really cute. But I said you can stop now?"
I wasn't falling for that. She'd lull me into dropping my guard and then pounce — that was obviously the trap. Didn't even need to see it. Obviously!
I stayed on high alert and snuck a glance at her. A smile filled her lips. She didn't seem angry yet. Still, I couldn't let my guard down. This was Jung Sujin. The most terrifying S-class Superhuman in the world!
"Thank you..."
"Hmph. I see. You're messing with me right now, aren't you? If you were trying to piss me off... well, congratulations. It worked."
"Th-thank you."
"...I said you can stop talking. Stop. This is a warning. Say something else. Otherwise I'll punish you."
A binary choice! Way too extreme. Was this even allowed?
I can't say thank you anymore. Looking at the mood, something bad might actually happen.
No — she was the one who told me to only say thank you, and now she was pulling this? Fine, then I had no choice but to say this! This is all your fault, Jung Sujin!
"A-all right. I'm sorry. Miss Jung Sujin..."
"Huh?"
"I told you clearly! You have to say 'Thank you' no matter what!"
"Th-thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Too late!"
Oh, come on!
My life really does have the worst luck.
