Living Inside the Apartment Complex
"I'm the building manager for Building 101.
You need to file a move-in report, you know.
Write your name here and sign to show that you're actually living here."
Didn't everyone just handle this over the phone these days?
Maybe things ran the old-fashioned way because we were inside an anomaly.
I grabbed the ballpoint pen, wrote down a name, and signed.
"Please fill out the next sections as well."
The paper fluttered as she flipped to the next page.
It asked for everything—the car I owned, the license plate, my job, even family relations.
I scribbled pure bullshit and openly eye-fucked the middle-aged woman standing right in front of me.
I want her.
My gaze raked over the building manager's body from every angle.
Survival instinct and lust had fused into one.
The moment my life was in danger, I got hard.
Even with my cock standing at full attention right out in the open, she said nothing.
A normal person would have flipped out for sure.
She still said nothing.
I have to hold back.
I had to endure for now.
It was way too early to blow off steam.
I bit down on my lip, forced the lust down, and filled out every last field.
"Thank you, Mr. Kim Cheolsu. If any problems come up later, I'll come find you. Have a nice day."
The building manager nodded and vanished.
"Haaaaah..."
I let out the breath I'd been holding.
Dealing with anomalies was something I just could not get used to.
"It's finally over."
Kim Hana appeared with the child in tow.
"It's you. What's your name?"
"Lee Ji-hye."
The name matched perfectly.
"Hey, take my hand. We're leaving right now."
"What? What are you talking about..."
I grabbed Kim Hana's and Lee Ji-hye's hands and activated the escape device.
[???] Error: Unable to activate the escape device at this time due to an error.
"Uuuuugh."
But the escape device refused to work.
"There's an item that lets you escape from an anomaly once..."
"So it doesn't work, huh..."
Kim Hana let out a disappointed sigh.
I was just as crushed.
Things had seemed like they might finally go smoothly, only for disaster to strike in the most random place.
"Ugh... I want to go home.
I really miss my real mom."
"Don't worry. We'll get back soon."
I soothed Kim Hana as she teetered on the edge of tears.
"I'm going to cry for a bit."
She stepped into the room.
Sniffling sounds drifted out from inside.
"I won't hold you back. Don't worry, Agent Uncle."
The child came up and tugged at my clothes.
She was far more composed than any seven-year-old had a right to be.
More mature than Kim Hana, even.
Did I ever tell her I was a Management Bureau agent?
A seven-year-old kid overheard that I was a Management Bureau agent and actually understood it?
Plenty of things didn't add up, but going by what was right in front of me, nothing was wrong.
"Alright. Looking forward to working with you."
I held out my hand to Lee Ji-hye and shook.
"Hold on—did you finish the move-in report?"
"Yes."
"Good job. You know the Neapolitan ghost story that's popular these days?"
"I know it. Unnie taught me the moment I got here, so I've memorized it."
"Well done. You have to follow the rules exactly."
"Yes."
Seeing how level-headed she was put me a little more at ease.
I couldn't picture a future where she acted like a normal kid and got herself killed by an anomaly.
"One more thing—what about food?"
"Meals just appear on their own at Ji-hye's place."
"It's fine. I can handle meals by myself."
Apparently food generated automatically at Ji-hye's house too.
I'm the only one getting discriminated against.
I was the sole person whose meals didn't spawn on their own.
Grumbling, I started getting ready to head out.
"Stop crying and come outside."
I knocked on the door.
Kim Hana had survived inside this anomaly for over a year.
Bringing her along would definitely be a huge help.
"What?"
Hana stepped out with eyes still red and puffy.
"We're going out to investigate."
"Got it. Let's go together."
We passed through the front door and I hit the elevator button.
"We're on the fifth floor. The stairs are easier."
"I'll follow your lead."
The stairs were every bit as dangerous as the elevator, but she had lived inside this anomaly far longer than I had.
Listening to her was the smart move.
"This is the first floor. You can pick up the rulebook at the security office."
We came down to the ground level.
Unfinished apartment complexes sprawled all around us.
Huh?
A hazy vision of completed apartment buildings began to shimmer like a mirage.
That had to be the fake apartment complex the rulebook mentioned.
It felt like staring straight at the sun with the naked eye—my mind started to fray.
I tore my gaze away from the illusion and scanned the surroundings.
The security office sat right in front of the complex.
It was a two-story building. Calling it a mere security office felt wrong—it was massive.
"Hello.
I'm Kim Cheolsu, the new resident who just moved in.
I stopped by to introduce myself."
"Nice to meet you."
The security guard gave a slight nod and turned his eyes back to the monitor.
If I'd run into one of those foul-tempered aunties, she would have thrown a fit over a scene like this.
But the guard didn't so much as change his expression, as if this were just another ordinary day.
Has someone like this ever existed?
I'd never seen anyone like him at the Management Bureau's Korean branch.
"Um, excuse me? About the Management Bureau..."
"..."
The staff member stared at me with a completely blank face.
Even if I mentioned the Management Bureau, I doubted I'd get any other reaction.
"I'll come by again sometime."
Getting any clues from the security office was clearly impossible.
I waved and stepped back out.
"It's almost mealtime. Let's eat together at your place."
"What about Ji-hye?"
"That kid eats on her own. Even when I invite her she says no."
Kim Hana and I ate together at my place.
The menu was perfectly grilled pork belly.
I wrapped the pork belly in lettuce and ate it with relish.
The post was forcibly deleted.
My patience had finally hit its limit.
But they still couldn't block me.
"That was great. Let's have another delicious meal next time."
"Yeah!"
Kim Hana flashed a bright smile, scooped up the dishes, and disappeared.
I cleaned up the leftover scraps of food and stretched out on the floor.
An empty, worthless house.
Just sitting still made me restless and itchy.
"Guess it's time to get to work."
I stood up and stripped off my clothes.
I'd trusted Kim Hana's comments and brought nothing with me.
The only things I had were replica anti-anomaly items.
No game console, no manga—nothing.
If I'd known it would be like this, I would've at least brought a tablet.
I actually owned a tablet loaded with web novels and comics for situations exactly like this.
I folded my clothes neatly and set them aside.
I was already inside the anomaly. Regretting it now was pointless.
Instead of wallowing, I decided to give everything I had to the job in front of me.
Magic Conch Flute, is it okay if I go out naked?
Yes!
My real work started from this moment on.
Completely naked, I headed down the stairs.
"Ssssss... haaaaaah. So this is what the air inside an anomaly feels like."
Right now I was a true child of nature.
No cumbersome, ugly clothes stood between me and the world.
I walked the streets, soaking up nature with my entire body.
The anomalies that passed by neither got angry nor flustered at the sight of me.
They drifted past like NPCs, completely indifferent.
As long as you followed the rules, you could do anything short of murder inside an anomaly.
It played out exactly as expected.
Thud. Thud.
I wandered the apartment complex, scouting for prey.
Found one.
A suitable anomaly spotted.
A fitness girl in sports leggings strolling through the complex became my first target.
I licked my lips and closed in on her.
"Hello. Good morning."
"Huh? Ah, yes. Good morning.
You're the new resident who just moved in, right?"
I greeted her cheerfully and stepped right up beside her.
She answered my greeting with a bright smile.
The only women who ever smiled at me while I was naked were In-seo and Eun-hwa.
"Do you have a moment right now?"
Just as predicted, she latched onto me and refused to let go.
Beaming, she took my hand.
Magic Conch Flute, is it okay if I fuck this woman like a dog?
Yes!
The Magic Conch Flute had given its blessing.
This female anomaly was safe—no question about it.
"Yes!"
I casually locked her arms behind her back.
I slid my arms through her armpits.
Perfect restraint technique!
She couldn't do a thing.
"Euk! N-new resident, do you happen to have a girlfriend or a lover?"
"Nope. None. Oh, I like you though—do you have a boyfriend?"
"I-I alreadyyy have someone I like."
So the setting was that she had a boyfriend!
These anomaly bastards were picky about the weirdest things.
I forced her arms behind her and bound them.
Huff. Huff. Huff. Huff.
A dog latched onto my side.
It kept clinging and making a nuisance of itself.
I kicked it hard in the ribs and sent it flying.
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Getting booted must have pissed it off.
The doggo bristled its tail and started barking.
It was a small-to-medium dog, so it wasn't particularly scary.
"Grrrrrr."
It bared its teeth and snarled.
Yip, yipe!
Hierarchy established.
The screaming mutt tucked its tail and fled.
"Shall we continue what we were doing?"
I pressed my rock-hard cock against her body.
The entrance was tight and dry.
Her pussy was completely parched inside.
I needed foreplay if I wanted to get all the way in.
"Nipple stretch."
I pinched her nipples between my fingers and pulled.
The reaction was lukewarm.
"So her weak spot isn't the nipples."
Instead I slipped a finger into her pussy.
I pushed deep and stroked every corner inside.
"She's got a hymen."
My fingertip found her virgin membrane.
The boyfriend story had been a lie.
Or maybe the boyfriend was so pure he was saving her virginity until marriage.
"Hey? How many times have you done it with your boyfriend?"
"Aaaah. Aah. Three times a month...?"
She answered every question I threw at her.
Her eyes were full of confusion.
"Kyaah!"
But the moment I rolled my hips, every last question vanished.
My cock sank all the way to the depths of her womb.
Her eyes went unfocused. I had to scramble her mind before she could recover.
"Hey. Your body is so fucking sexy I'm about to cum already.
Pulling out is a pain—mind if I finish inside?"
"Uuuh?"
She looked puzzled.
I decided to force the false idea into her head before the doubt could take root.
"Letting the new resident creampie you as a housewarming gift is just common sense around here, right?"
"Uuh, i-is that so?"
The anomaly rolled her eyes.
Pushing hard was making her fold.
"Handle the birth control yourself!"
"Yeees."
I came inside the anomaly's womb.
Semen flooded her uterus to the brim.
"I have no intention of stopping at one round.
My cock isn't soft yet, see? You have to milk me dry until it goes down."
"Euk."
I forced her back onto her feet.
I lined my still-raging cock up against her pussy entrance again.
"Aaaah! Mommyyy!"
"Hello. Your daughter was just giving me a housewarming present."
I waved at the anomaly mother.
Even with her daughter getting openly railed right in front of her, she neither got angry nor tried to stop us.
"You're the new bachelor who moved into 503?"
"Yes, that's right. Looking forward to getting along."
"Nice to meet you. I live on the floor below."
"Looking forward to it."
Everyone, watch me!
I'll show you all what outdoor sex looks like!
Even while chatting with the anomalies, I never stopped thrusting my hips.
I kept slamming away in a frenzy until, before I knew it, the sun had set and night had fallen.
