Tutorial 4: The Perfect Bait
I walked for quite a while before slipping into a cave.
I set Ji-hyun Kim down on the ground and sorted out the fruits and herbs I'd gathered along the way. Then I picked up one fruit and bit into it.
The fangs that had grown after becoming an orc scraped against the tip of my tongue, irritating me.
It felt similar to back in middle school when I had braces—the way the metal dug into my tongue and made everything uncomfortable.
Ji-hyun Kim had gone quiet after giving her name, just trembling there silently.
I untied her bound hands and tossed her a fruit.
She glanced at me cautiously for a moment, but hunger must have won out because she devoured it greedily.
From my experience, humans in the tutorial struggled just to scavenge food.
The fruits from Bok and the ones I'd picked myself were pure luck.
I stared intently at her as she ate.
Watching her like that, useless thoughts started flooding my mind unbidden.
Long black hair... It reminded me of Lee Joohee, the one who'd betrayed me.
Their faces were completely different. And yet, bizarrely, they overlapped in my head.
She'd said she loved me, but in the end, she'd betrayed me.
That bitch who'd tossed out a single "Sorry" before vanishing.
Sorry?
Bullshit. If you were sorry, you wouldn't have betrayed me!
My breathing grew ragged. Only then did I realize my eyes had turned red.
Sensing the change, Ji-hyun Kim shrank back in terror, wriggling away.
But we were inside a cave. She quickly hit the wall.
"Um... why are you...?"
I lunged at her and roughly tore open her top.
"Kyaaah—!!"
One full, heaving breast bounced free.
I'd only grabbed the shirt, but her bra must have ripped too.
She pushed at me with her slender arms, even throwing weak punches. But a normal woman's resistance was no threat to an orc like me.
I shoved her down and grabbed her legs, dragging her toward me.
Hiking up her skirt revealed white lace panties.
At that moment, her tear-choked plea reached my ears.
"This is my first time... Please stop. Anything else is okay. Please... I beg you."
The heat raging in my head cooled instantly.
'Fuck... So this is what they mean by 'easy to excite'—includes shit like this, huh.'
I wasn't sure if it was the orc instincts or something I'd wanted all along.
My reddened eyes faded back to normal, and I smoothed her skirt down.
Honestly, I had no qualms about taking her right there.
She was my spoils of war, my possession.
I'd only stopped because acting on it now would mess with tomorrow's plans.
She said nothing, covering her eyes with her arms, breathing in sharp, ragged gasps.
Her other hand tried to shield the breast that had spilled out, but it was so large she could only cover the nipple.
Ever since becoming a hunchback, I hadn't even properly held a woman's hand.
Just walking the streets had people treating me like a plague victim, shunning me.
Four years of buried desire suddenly surged up.
I reached out and brushed her hand away from her breast. A pink nipple came into view.
I gripped her breast and kneaded it slowly.
It was at least an E-cup, but it fit perfectly in my orc-sized palm.
Warm, soft... heavenly.
I squeezed harder, and soft flesh bulged between my thick fingers.
Then I pinched the nipple between my index and thumb. Orc fingers weren't as dexterous as I'd hoped, so I ended up twisting it roughly.
Ji-hyun Kim let out a whimper.
"Hngh..."
I kept groping her breasts for a good while longer.
It didn't fully quench the pent-up lust, but it would have to do for now.
I rebound her arms with vines.
She steadied her trembling breaths and murmured, barely audible.
"Thank you... for stopping."
Her attitude—knowing her place—earned a nod from me.
...
The next day. Time to execute my plan.
For that, I needed Ji-hyun Kim.
Overnight, something had shifted in her. Her eyes were different now.
Tougher, maybe. Like she was dead set on surviving.
"...What do I need to do now?"
One breast was still fully exposed.
But she showed no sign of caring.
"Wanna make a bet?"
"A bet...?"
"Yeah. I'm gonna wound your leg and toss you in the clearing. Scream your lungs out so other humans can hear. If you're lucky, they might kill me and save you."
She hesitated, then gritted her teeth.
"Okay... I'll do it."
"Don't scream from the pain."
I drew my dagger and plunged it deep into her thigh.
I'd untie her limbs later, so this was to keep her from running.
She clutched her skirt with one hand and clamped the other over her mouth, trembling violently.
Doing her best not to scream, just as I'd ordered.
I pulled the dagger out, and hot blood gushed, pooling on the ground.
I crushed herbs and pressed them into the wound, then wrapped it with a filthy bandage smeared in dirt and blood.
The knot was sloppy, the bandage grimy.
Anyone would think, 'Hurt and patched up in a rush.'
...
I sat Ji-hyun Kim by a rock in the clearing.
The vines binding her arms and legs were gone.
"Remember. You have one job."
"...Got it."
I stepped back and hid in the bushes.
Right now, Ji-hyun Kim had one breast fully out, a leg wound, and a face that drew eyes.
If she screamed in this state, even the cautious ones wouldn't pass by.
She started calling for help.
"Help! Someone's here!!"
Her voice echoed everywhere.
It wasn't forced—real terror laced it. Her party dead, dragged off alone, molested by a monster.
She had no choice but to be desperate.
"Please help! I'm alone! Anyone—!!"
Soon, responses came from the forest.
Rustling footsteps, cautious at first. Then six men emerged.
Seeing her, they strode right up, caution gone.
"Pretty thing, tits out and all. Jackpot."
"This just rolls in?"
"Please... save me. My leg's hurt—I can't move."
"Heh. Pretty sis, we'll save ya, but we need proper payment."
One sleazy-looking guy leered at her body.
She flinched, covering her breasts with both hands.
Probably not what she'd imagined.
She'd trusted humans to treat her like one. Big mistake.
Here, strength was law. The weak got screwed.
Trading bodies for protection happened constantly in human groups.
Soon, all six were right in front of her.
The leader reached for her breast.
Ji-hyun Kim was my spoils.
I wasn't the type to watch someone touch my things.
My thrown dagger pierced his throat in an instant.
"Enemy—!"
'Idiots... Too late.'
Kill humans. 12 / 50
I threw another dagger from the bushes.
The second guy clutched his throat and collapsed before he could raise his shield.
"Don't panic! Check positions!!"
I burst from the bushes. The ground shook under my orc weight and power.
I shoulder-charged the nearest one—ribs cracked audibly.
The fourth raised his shield at me.
With a job or trait, he might block. But these were small fry.
'Split him.'
I gripped my iron sword two-handed and smashed down over the shield.
Wood splintered, arm and shoulder pulverized behind it.
The last two bolted without looking back. But my daggers felled them soon after.
Just as I'd planned.
Repeat this until the quest ends.
If too many humans swarm, ditch the bait and bail.
If greenskins show, I'd step in and talk it out.
No downside. Perfect setup.
...
I hunted like this for a week straight.
Only once did too many humans swarm, forcing me to grab Ji-hyun Kim and run. Otherwise, smooth sailing.
Now, I had her in the clearing again, me hidden in the bushes.
Kill humans. 48 / 50
Just two more for completion. Today's the last hunt.
Her screams drew them out—three men, one woman.
They slowed hearing the cries from afar, but dropped their guard spotting vulnerable Ji-hyun Kim.
"Hey... she really alone?"
The men's gazes weren't those of rescuers.
Open, lecherous stares. The kind she always faced.
The woman beside them hooked a man's arm between her breasts and sneered.
"Look at her. Tits out begging for help. Hey, you know how that looks, right?"
Women were women's worst enemies, huh. She looked like the type selling her body for protection.
Pity was the jealousy seeping through. Plain face, flat chest.
A stark contrast to Ji-hyun Kim's voluptuous figure and beauty.
"Say something. Am I wrong?"
"It's not like that... I just..."
"Just what? God, she looks cheap."
The woman hounded her relentlessly.
Annoying enough I'd want to smack her myself.
Ji-hyun Kim's shoulders trembled faintly. I couldn't see her face, but I could guess her thoughts.
She'd feel wronged. This wasn't her choice—my orders, forced staging.
"I'm not that kind of person... Please stop."
"Got pride, huh? Can't we just leave her? What use is trash like that..."
"Hey, we still gotta save her. Heh... but protection fees apply." Like they shared scripts in some group chat for morons—same lines every time.
Then, Ji-hyun Kim glanced toward the bushes, just for a split second.
I knew exactly where she looked.
Her eyes reddened, lips quivering.
"Please. Kill these people..."
For modern folks dropped here, morality trips you up first.
Bred in a safe world, killing is evil, drilled into your bones. First kill makes hands shake.
Hesitate, and you die.
But Ji-hyun Kim had just crossed that line outright.
I was stunned for a moment, then a laugh slipped out unbidden.
