Chapter 3. Today Is Our First Day ^^
Chapter 3. Today Is Our First Day ^^
##
I opened my eyes.
Still an unfamiliar ceiling.
I look down at the place that's standing at attention since the morning and recall yesterday.
It wasn't a dream.
I really came to this world!!
When I think about it, the memories of the original owner of this body, Ja Ung-cheon, come to mind.
He was a total piece of shit by my standards.
No, honestly, even to others, he looked like a piece of shit...
A guy with no ability, just crazy about sex, tsk tsk tsk.
He inherited the position of Sect Leader from his father and went around seducing followers with his handsome face and silver tongue.
The number of times he had relations under the pretext of the 'Purification Ritual' was...
【 How many times has this body had sex?
Exactly 1,214 times since becoming an adult until today.
If including sexual-adjacent acts, it is 3,497 times.
??? Isn't this guy a total lunatic?
The Sect Leader of the Hwanrak Cult inherits the position the day they become an adult.
The previous Sect Leader was his father, who ascended to immortality after passing down the position.
It's called ascending, but in his memories, there's just the back of his father leaving without a word after handing over the position.
But this bastard has been the Sect Leader for 3 years now, and 1,214 times??
4 times a day? How does the body survive?
Plus, if you include sexual-adjacent acts, it's over 3,000... A crazy bastard...
I recalled the memories.
This bastard really didn't care about age and just slept with anyone...
Wow, this won't do.
I have to block it by including it in the doctrine.
Anyway, as the cult leader of a pseudo-religion, my words are the words of God.
The faith of the Hwanrak Cult followers was that strong.
They say that on that day, the Day of Judgment that every pseudo-religion talks about, the god they believe in, 'Raxia', will descend to earth and save them.
The precursor to that day is the day the sun is swallowed by darkness.
It must be a total lunar eclipse.
That's why the Left Dharma Protector said yesterday that the day hadn't come yet.
Well, I can just modify that from now on...
【 How many followers does the Hwanrak Cult have?
There are 1,719 people in total.
It consists of 1,607 women and 112 men.
Is this ratio even right?
"Ugh..."
Maybe she heard my groan, because a sound came from outside.
"Sect Leader-nim, are you awake? Should I prepare immediately?"
The preparation mentioned here is the female followers who work as maids cleaning my penis.
This is how the morning starts.
Ja Ung-cheon would get horny and have sex like a beast, then have sex again.
He did that shit from the morning, which is why he did it 1,214 times...
Of course, I did that to the Left Dharma Protector I met for the first time yesterday, but... eh, whatever!
I'm going to enjoy my harem now too!
"Sect Leader-nim?"
Oh, right.
"Yes."
A moment later, the door opened and two beautiful women who looked to be in their early 20s entered.
They brought a basin with warm water and towels.
"Then, we will perform the 'Resonance Ritual'."
They really attach that word to everything.
It sounds nice to call it a ritual, but it's just a handjob.
Unlike my head, my penis is already twitching.
It's full of energy...
【 Who exactly are they?
Devotee 432 (left), Devotee 433 (right).
I assigned the numbers in the order they joined the sect.
They have no real names because they were born into the faith.
Are they sisters? No wonder they looked a bit alike.
Followers don't have names.
Once they entrust themselves to the sect, they abandon their worldly names and live on.
That's why the lowest-ranking followers are called 'Nameless'.
Next, they are divided into Belonging, Devotee, Receiver, and Liberated in order.
A hierarchy system.
It's a really good system for multi-level marketing or pseudo-religions.
People here have good heads on their shoulders, too.
No, I guess things like this have been passed down since the past?
Just as there are pseudo-religions in every world.
"...Thank you."
At my words, they look at my face as if moved.
"We are unworthy..."
Their faces turn red as they trail off.
At such a shy appearance, my penis started twitching even more.
"Oh my!"
Startled, they let go for a moment, but soon realized what they were doing and gently grabbed my penis again.
They carefully wipe it again with a towel soaked in warm water.
"The ritual is finished. Shall we prepare the meal?"
After wiping it one more time with a dry towel, they went outside immediately at my gesture.
The meal they brought a moment later was too much to call breakfast.
The table is going to break under the weight.
Naturally, most of it is food for stamina.
While eating, the penis that had subsided naturally gets an erection again.
Phew...
After finishing the meal, I do some simple exercise for health.
So that's why there were some lean muscles.
And I have to give a speech at the morning doctrine gathering where the followers are gathered...
Well, I just have to say that the Day of Judgment will come and we need to prepare for it by performing the Purification Ritual, adding some flowery language.
"Sect Leader-nim, it is time for your speech."
Just in time for me to go out. Tirseuna. I'm counting on you.
##
It's a very good day.
A good day to talk bullshit disguised as a speech.
I stood in front of the outdoor altar and looked at the gathered followers.
Since there are over a thousand of them, the space is quite wide...
On the altar, there is a tool that functions like a microphone.
I naturally speak into it, reading the script Tirseuna prepared in advance.
"I am Raxia."
Ahem, I pause for a moment...
"The name you called, I, Raxia, have finally reached this place."
The murmuring followers shout.
"Raxia-nim!!"
I raise my hand to quiet them down.
"The Day of Judgment still remains. But the Sect Leader's prayers reached the heavens, so I have descended early to prepare in advance."
Hmm, but do they really believe this?
"The whispers that were only heard by those who listened... now flow through my mouth!"
"Raxia-nim!!"
I guess they believe it...
Act as if the possession has ended.
Do I have to do even this...
You just need to drop your head and look limp.
I move according to Tirseuna's instructions.
And the murmuring followers.
I pretend to come back to my senses and say,
"I, the 12th Sect Leader Ja Ung-cheon! According to Raxia-nim's command, I will purify all of you before the Day of Judgment!"
"Waaaaah!!"
Pseudo-religions are truly scary...
##
On the way back to my room after the speech, the Left Dharma Protector approached me.
"Sect Leader-nim..."
A look that seems to crave something.
Has she not forgotten yesterday?
"A guest you mentioned from the Murim Alliance has arrived."
"Murim Alliance?"
I guess not.
But a guest?
Let me recall... who is the person coming today...
This bastard has no memory of who is coming.
I typed on the keyboard in the air and asked Tirseuna.
The Left Dharma Protector is watching me from the side.
To her, I must look like I'm listening to the voice of God, right?
【 Who is the guest coming to meet Ja Ung-cheon today?
It is the military strategist of the Murim Alliance, Jegal Hye.
A smart woman who rose to the position of military strategist at the age of 28.
【 Why is she coming?
To lower the distribution price of the Blood Jade Tea.
Blood Jade Tea, a tea with a reddish hue.
Because it helps with increasing internal energy, it's a tea that martial artists want to obtain, and it only grows here where the Hwanrak Cult is located.
Blood Jade Tea is the main source of income for the Hwanrak Cult.
Hmm... I should sell this at a high price, right?
"Ah, so Jegal Hye has come. I see. Show her in."
"Yes, Sect Leader-nim."
##
A room that looks flashy.
The entire interior is pink.
How is this emitting light?
To think this place is a reception room...
It looks like a motel bedroom.
Actually, there was a bed in the back too.
What is this place, really?
Jegal Hye and I are sitting at a round table in the center of the reception room.
The bodyguard she brought and the Left Dharma Protector are standing next to us respectively.
Jegal Hye's first impression is neat and calm.
Her gray hair, tied up, stands out particularly.
【 Tell me useful information I should know about Jegal Hye in advance.
【 Ah, from now on, just answer all my questions simply.
Reason for her visit: To lower the distribution price of the Blood Jade Tea.
She plans to make an excuse that the merchant group's unit price has risen.
In fact, there is a rebate (money returned) between the Murim Alliance and the merchant group.
After the war ended, the position of the Zhuge Clan in the Murim Alliance lowered.
It lowered even further due to her mother's death.
She intends to succeed in this deal to re-establish her foundation.
With a bigger picture, she also intends to lower the influence of the cult.
I need to speak well.
【 How can I make it advantageous for me?
While I was looking at Tirseuna's answer, Jegal Hye opened her mouth.
"Sect Leader-nim, you've had enough tea now, shall we talk about business?"
"Four nyang."
At my sudden words, her expression stiffens.
"No, suddenly what... don't tell me you're increasing it from two nyang to four nyang?"
I nodded my head again.
She catches her breath for a moment and stares at me.
"You should consider our situation too."
She sips her tea again as if to hide her expression with a forced smile.
But the answer is already decided.
"Four nyang. I won't accept anything less than this."
Four nyang is a month's living expenses for an ordinary family.
"It's already excessive. For tea that's only enough for 10 servings, that kind of value..."
I cut off her words.
"If you don't want to buy it, then don't. The seller decides the price of the goods."
"Please consider our situation a little. Even for the sake of the relationship we've traded with."
For 20 years, all the Blood Jade Tea from the Hwanrak Cult was traded only with the Murim Alliance.
It was expensive, but it was because there was a 'secret deal' with the previous Sect Leader, that is, this body's father.
"Four nyang."
A broken record.
She bites her lip.
"The merchant group's unit price has gone up this time, so I have nowhere to back down."
It's exactly as Tirseuna said.
I smile at her.
"You were going to get it back anyway, right?"
I observed her expression, but there was no change.
Good poker face.
"There is no such thing."
"Well, anyway, four nyang."
"Sect Leader-nim!"
"Or, like your mother and my father in the past..."
She cuts off my words.
"No, that is..."
The poker face is broken.
She knows about the 'secret deal' too.
Actually, it's nothing special.
Like Ja Ung-cheon, this guy's father was also crazy about sex.
He was probably worse, not better?
Anyway, the 'secret deal' was ultimately sex.
Long live the crazy Hwanrak Cult that lives and dies by sex.
At the time, Jegal Hye's mother, Jegal Jang-ryeong, had sex with the previous Sect Leader in exchange for the exclusive distribution of Blood Jade Tea.
After her husband died, she needed to solidify her position in the Murim Alliance.
At that time, the previous Sect Leader's proposal must have been sweet.
If they could monopolize the Blood Jade Tea, which the Murim Alliance had been eyeing but could never get their hands on... her status would rise.
For the previous Sect Leader, if he could secure stable funds and have sex with Jegal Jang-ryeong, one of the Three Absolutes of the Central Plains who was rumored to be aloof, he would have judged it to be killing two birds with one stone.
He was a guy crazy about sex, wanting to do it with every woman in the world.
Is it the influence of having reincarnated as Ja Ung-cheon?
I, too, started to have such desires.
Did it trigger when I did it with the Left Dharma Protector yesterday...
I looked at the Left Dharma Protector, who was standing to the side listening to our conversation.
When she made eye contact with me, she slightly avoided my gaze, looking shy.
"Gareum. Could you step aside for a moment? I have something to discuss with the Sect Leader-nim alone."
Jegal Hye dismisses the bodyguard who was next to her.
I also raised my hand to have the Left Dharma Protector leave.
"You know about what happened between the previous Sect Leader and my mother?"
"I'm the Sect Leader. I grew up listening to the sounds of her screaming once a month for 20 years."
At my vulgar words, she had a surprised expression.
But soon, her face turned red again from shame.
I scan her carefully.
Moderately large breasts.
A slim waist.
A figure that looks flexible.
Especially that slender nape visible because she tied up her hair is a scam.
My penis reacts immediately, twitching.
"But if you lower the price for just that, wouldn't it be a loss for you, Sect Leader-nim?"
Oh, is she going to come on strong?
"I also know your true purpose. But if it's a 'secret relationship', I'll forget about that. Of course, the price of the Blood Jade Tea will also be lowered to three nyang."
"It was two nyang before..."
I cut off her words.
"No, it's four nyang from now on. If you go on like this, your position in the Murim Alliance will diminish due to the failure of the negotiation. But I don't care."
Is it the influence of Ja Ung-cheon?
Why am I acting like a villain?
And a villain starving for sex at that...
I guess a time of peace is good.
To think that Jegal Hye, who was excellent in strategy and directed various military operations, is arguing with me over a mere tea distribution problem.
It's like the relationship between the previous Sect Leader and Jegal Jang-ryeong.
She seems to be thinking about various things.
The answer is already decided anyway.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she opened her mouth.
"Once a quarter..."
I shook my head and cut her off.
"Once a month. I have to make the conditions the same as the previous generation. Instead, if you satisfy me, it'll be two nyang like before."
I sat on the bed in the back while saying that.
"Come here. We're officially a couple starting today."
