I'm Telling You, I'm a God. (1)

"What did you say?!"

Yeonsu lost it. There was a loud BANG from the door.

"That crazy bitch?!"

"Absolutely not! No way in hell!"

Whoa. What an intense reaction.

"O-okay, got it. I get it. I just figured you two should know about it since it's the closest shopping district around here. Gachae Shopping District. We'll be going back and forth a lot, so we're bound to run into them anyway."

The girls fell silent. Scritch scritch scritch. Ushabti was sweeping up the sand. I'd turned the zombies and even the bathroom into sand, so there was a ton of work to do. Out of all of us, that little guy's the busiest. But watching its hips sway back and forth, it seemed pretty chipper about it. When there's no work, it just hunkers down in the corner and stares blankly. Oh, right. Time to recharge it. Water, eggs, energy, and Ushabti. Topped it off with 50 coins total.

"I get that the ajumma and her cronies are total assholes. Haven't met 'em myself, but your reactions say it all. But what about the other people? Besides her inner circle."

"...Other people?"

"Yeah. The grunts doing the grunt work. You two were part of that group, right?"

"...Yeah."

"How are the people?"

"Just..."

"They're normal. Everyone else... they're all struggling. Some die scavenging for food..."

"Hmm... That's how you got bit on the arm too, right Yeonsu?"

"Yeah."

"But if that's the case, why no rebellion or anything?"

"That fucking bitch has men and women armed ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠to the teeth around her all the time. Guns too. The scavenging teams go out naked—no weapons. They get some shitty ones when they head out, but have to hand them back when they return. Or they get exiled."

"Yeah. And besides, everyone’s too weak."

"Exactly. They barely get fed, no glass in the windows so it's freezing, can't even sleep properly."

"People froze to death in winter."

"Yeah."

Hmm... I see.

"How many are we talking?"

"Ajumma's inner circle is about 20. Scavenging teams fluctuate, but when we left, around 50."

"Ho... But here's something I'm curious about. Is that the only group?"

"Huh? Other groups?"

"Yeah. Any others in the neighborhood besides them?"

"There were, but... they fought."

"Fought?"

"Yeah. Early in the zombie outbreak, there were a bunch of groups apparently. They fought each other, one collapsed, got absorbed or killed or turned, and they kept at it for months. By the time we joined, no other groups left. Hye-yun, you ever hear about any others?"

"N-no, never."

"Right. So all the survivors got absorbed by that ajumma."

"...Her inner circle must be the loyalists from the early days, then."

"Yeah, probably. But I don't know the details. We... didn't really talk to the others. We were kinda loners even among the scavengers."

"Hmm... Got it."

Click. Yeonsu and Hye-yun opened the door. No visible changes from the outside. Oh, wait—one thing. They were both wearing bras now, so no more perky tits on display. Below, they had pants on—shorts got soaked in our fun times and tossed in the laundry basket, so now it was pajamas and sweatpants. No clue if they were wearing thongs.

"What're you gonna do?"

I was admiring their figures when Yeonsu asked, ignoring my gaze completely. Her face was full of discomfort and hostility. Even Hye-yun had a slight frown. That ajumma must've really gotten under their skin. How bad did she treat them?

"Set up the board game," I said, nodding toward the living room. But they both darted out and blocked my path.

"Tell us. You're not thinking of allying with that bitch or something, right?"

"Please don't."

Their faces. She must be that hated.

"...My devotees are begging me like this. Can't ignore them as their god."

Ugh, my inner thoughts slipped out. Cleared my throat.

"Ahem. Anyway, she wants to meet, so I'll meet. Saying I won't would be a lie. I'll hear what she wants, and if it's bullshit, tell her to fuck off and bye."

"...And if she offers something tempting?"

"...Yeonsu. You saying something weird?"

I tilted my head. Genuine curiosity on my face.

"Nothing's more tempting to me than you two. No matter what she offers, you're the most tempting thing I've got. You think I'd do something you'd hate?"

This seemed to satisfy them a bit. Faces still grumpy, but the tension around their eyes was easing.

I stepped closer to the two women. Slid my hands into their pajama pants and sweatpants.

...Oh. Both wearing them! Fuck yeah...! The thin straps barely covering, and when I slip my fingers in, soft, moist skin—this is special.

Yeonsu and Hye-yun grabbed my arms but didn't pull away or retreat. I said,

"I'm gonna hear her out. But you two are the most important to me. Don't forget that."

"...Got ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠it."

"...Yeah."

I didn't stop touching. Warm, slick, soft, feels so damn good. But hmm. These panties. Still in the way. Every time I try to rub, the fabric catches instead of skin. So I pulled my hands out and undid one strap. On both sides. Inside their pants, the useless panties now dangled off one leg.

"But what about the scavengers? I need your take on that."

"...Scavengers? Ahh... nngh..."

Yeonsu let out an unintended moan and clamped her mouth shut. Face flushed. But I wasn't stopping.

"Yeah. They're living rough, right?"

"...Y-yes. The scavengers... yeah."

"If they ask me for help? What do you think I should do? You're my devotees. You were in that group. Be my advisors."

Standing there, touching and being touched while talking—it's like reaffirming ownership. You're mine. I'll do what I want with you. That feeling surges up, making me want more. Damn, my tank's already empty though.

"Th-they..."

Yeonsu said cautiously, coughing awkwardly to stifle moans.

"Ahem. Th-they're not..."

"Nngh... They didn't, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠hah, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠do anything bad to us..."

"Hmm. So helping the scavengers when they're in a pinch is fine? That's how it is?"

"...Yeah."

"Good. I get it."

I pulled my hands out of their pants. Wanna lick my fingers. Yeonsu and Hye-yun sighed in relief, reaching in to fix and retie their panties.

"Board game time?"

"What game this time?"

"Yeah, let's do it."

I opened the bedroom door.

"In a bit."

The women glanced at each other, heads bowed, and shuffled into the bedroom.

No more bedsheets left. At least four times a day minimum, fuck. Feels like all my energy's getting sucked out. Good thing the washer's running; without energy resupply, it'd be a mess in all sorts of ways.

Still. Best days of my life, hands down.

Tore down the neighbor's bathroom for 100 coins, plus today's food, total 603 coins. If I really grind, I could pull in 1000 easy a day, but testing the lion and all that, it's 603. Not thrilled, but what can ya do? Gotta use new stuff.

Can upgrade one with this. Solidify the home base first.

Warrior and mage tests are done. Tomorrow morning, full send for coins, hit 1000 and level both at once. For comfy life with the girls, home base first.

So, producer. Leveled up Nephaquet with 400 coins.

New skill. Holding out the little staff.

"Life Source."

Sand forms a shape, projecting something like a hologram in front of me. Pretty... huh? What is this?

It's big. Circular, at least 4 meters in diameter. A rocky mound on one side, surrounded by stones. Kinda... hmm. Judging by the holographic sand shape, a pond? Like one of those fancy backyard ponds scooped up whole.

But it's huge. Where to put... Oh. Next door's living room is empty. Ushabti swept the sand and hauled out the sofa and table—totally bare. Spacious. Perfect.

Headed next door. "Deploy."

Whoosh— sand gathers. The circular stone mound takes form. The stones are all smooth and round. Like pebbles... mixed with dirt and hardened.

Put coins in here?

Fuck, this one's a 9 MP too. Woke up in the sarcophagus and headed next door. Girls still lounging blissfully in bed. After these past few days, no wonder. Ugh, damn. I'm at my limit too. Legs shaking from all the action.

"Nngh..."

Lower belly aches; time to really rest. Girls are hot as hell, but I'll drop dead at this rate.

Anyway. Touched the Life Source.

...The stone felt slightly warm.

"Loading coins."

Water poured from crevices in the mound. Clear, crisp splash splash splash. Like a faucet cranked full blast down the broad stone face, but no splatter around the edges.

Ushabti waddled up with a bucket. I held out my hand, and stones rolled aside making a path.

"...Fuck, wow."

Bucket filled in seconds. Way better than a water cooler. Or rather...

This size. Perfect.

"...Great for soaking in."

Stripped naked and hopped in. Whoa... Lukewarm and soothing. That's why the stones are warm.

Gurgle gurgle. Weird noise—looked over. Small stones and sand formed a hose from the side, snaking to the balcony. It found a drain, dunked in, and gushed water out.

Fuck. A bath that refreshes with clean water constantly!

"Yeonsu! Hye-yun!"

"...Yeees."

"Whaaat."

The two stumbled out from the bedroom, hair tousled. I grinned and beckoned.

"Get in."

Their eyes went wide. What, surprised every time? I'm a god, I tell you.
