Chapter Title: Time Cosmos ~ Gantappiya... Ya Know?!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sandy Alvarez, a first-year at Ark Academy, was helping out at her uncle's shop.
The shop her uncle ran was called Carrot Shop.
It was an adult toy store.
The most embarrassing moments for her were, predictably, when her friends dropped by.
Ark students occasionally visited Carrot Shop to buy toys or special condoms.
But who would've thought.
She'd run into a professor here of all places.
"S-Sandy?!"
"Vice Head...!"
It was too late to pretend they hadn't seen each other—they'd locked eyes right at the checkout counter.
"Ahem... Working part-time in a place like this—doesn't it tarnish your dignity as a member of Ark Academy...?"
"It's my uncle's store..."
"I-It was just a test! In this day and age, you can't hold those outdated views...!"
The Vice Head had barely dodged the Talula fiasco.
But that wasn't the end of it.
Shin Hye-won had already picked out an extra-large dildo and some lube.
"I'll ring you up..."
"Hrm..."
The atmosphere was awkward.
Unable to bear it, the Vice Head defended herself.
"Truth is, I'm a beginner at this..."
"Pardon...?"
"Since it's my first time with stuff like this, I'd appreciate it if you didn't think too strangely of me."
"Ah, yes... Thinking it's strange would be the strange thing. This is perfectly natural!"
"Thanks for understanding... By any chance, is this toy suitable for a beginner?"
The dildo Shin Hye-won had chosen was on the larger side.
Pretty intimidating for a masturbation newbie!
But Sandy knew better.
Pointing it out would just make things more awkward.
"Looks just right!"
"Good... You can get injured without using toys properly. Right...?"
"?"
It was a subtle probe.
-Using toys is better for preventing injuries.
That's what Kim Taeyang had said.
But it made no sense to her.
'Common sense says using your hand is safer, isn't it?!'
She couldn't ask him directly, so she'd casually tested the waters with Sandy.
"Y-Yeah...? Fingers can cause infections, after all...?"
"Oh! I see...!"
And Sandy didn't want to get awkward with the Vice Head.
"Sandy, I've got a favor to ask."
"Don't worry. We keep everything confidential here—it's store policy."
"Thanks..."
The Vice Head gave a thumbs-up and left the shop.
'Masturbation training starts today!'
Her steps felt light.
Free personal training.
Just thinking about it made her feel like she could sprout wings and soar.

Clearing an S-rank dungeon was impressive, but the spotlight was elsewhere.
Conspiracy theories about Kim Taeyang.
— Anonymous - Kim Taeyang's been causing big and small incidents at Ark since the start of the semester. - Especially turning female classmates into 'sex slaves' and humiliating them in public. - Ark couldn't punish him because his dad is the underworld boss, Chairman Kim Tae-gun... (excerpt) - Now Kim Taeyang's set his sights on Justice. - His raid teammates look brainwashed or addicted to pleasure. - Kim Taeyang. Fail to remove him, and Justice crumbles. Articles and columns in that vein flooded the feeds.
Full of errors, no fact-checking.
Just baseless speculation from hack journalists.
But they couldn't ignore it.
The stock was tanking.

Online arrows pointed at Kim Taeyang,
while real-world ones targeted Park Hee-yeon.

"We can't keep papering over it with buybacks and stock dividends forever. Guild Master, you must turn public opinion around."
Park Hee-yeon, hauled before the board, replied with a haggard face.
"I'll ramp up volunteering and PR events. Not just rookies—I'll deploy B-rank+ veterans for a massive image overhaul..."
Park Hee-yeon was getting roasted.
She was the pro running the guild; the board were her employers paying her to do it.
"Cut the textbook crap—talk about that Kim Taeyang punk!"
"Shouldn't we kick him out?!"
Park Hee-yeon wanted to.
If she could.
"Kim Taeyang has no intention of canceling the contract."
"Money grabbing?"
"The guild itself is his goal..."
"Then set up a way we can cancel it?!"
Of course, it was already in motion.
Didn't dodge the flak, though.
This meeting was called to grill her.
"Show results ASAP!"
"...Understood."
Park Hee-yeon bowed repeatedly.
Alone in the empty conference room, she crumpled her papers.
"Kim Taeyang... Your neck's next, you bastard."
Park Hee-yeon's lips twitched with vengeful dreams.
She was a pro.
Framing a hero or two was child's play.
"Should've known where to draw the line."
As she smirked victoriously and turned to leave—
Ding~♪
A message arrived.
[Sender: Kim Taeyang] Hey Guild Sow Pig! Get your ass here for Sow Dance! Basement auditorium by 4:30. Late? Massive fine bitchslap incoming? 'Ah, f*ck.'
Revenge was revenge,
but Sow Dance was Sow Dance.
Couldn't weasel out of the bet.
Park Hee-yeon left the conference room.
Like a cow marching to slaughter...

The founding ceremony was over.
Next up: first service, with about 30 believers already there.
My five heroines.
Five teammates from the dungeon.
The rest 20: rookies my teammates recruited.
"This is actually a real religion...?"
Confusion plain on their faces.
Seemed they'd all been baited.
Makes sense.
Even I'd backpedal meeting a guy in a gold Hawaiian shirt and gold shades.
Anyone'd think he was nuts.
"Run...?"
"Abigail's here—what could go wrong?"
No deserters anyway.
"Eugene sis is all I need."
"Hero Joon-hwan...♡"
They came for connections to my teammates.
'Abigail's religion!'
'Worship with Shin Yoo-jin!'
'Chat with Kim Joon-hwan!'
That kinda vibe.
Extras, so low expectations.
But my first teammates? Surprisingly popular.
"Leader! Everyone's here!"
Abigail signaled.
I overlooked the flock from the podium.
Sudden service?
No script—super awkward.
My mouth wasn't fazed, though.
"Yo! You famous heroes really fell for this and followed to church? For real?! Hilarious!!"
"......"
"Hey hey! Laugh at the joke!! Don't piss me off!!!"
"Ha, haha..."
Kim Taeyang's face scared Ark kids and Justice heroes alike.
"You met here through various ties. But past don't matter—future does, right?"
"We believe...!"
"What counts is we share the same goal! You and me! All of us aiming higher as heroes!!!"
"We believe...!!"
"Taeyang Church will make it happen—so stay faithful!!! Quit booze, smokes—hit the weights!!! Train daily, stay raid-ready!!!! Got it?!!! Huh?!!!!"
"Now~ clap!!!"
Clap clap clap clap clap—
Cloé's cheerleading had believers clapping cluelessly.
Fine if lukewarm now.
I'd deliver their desires for real.
My skills suck, but I'm a vet who's studied and broken this game long-term.
Know tons of dungeon traits and strats.
Assign them optimal dungeons based on abilities?
They'll follow me naturally; I'll get solid allies.
Dungeon assignment rights.
Snag that from the Guild Master—smooth sailing.
"Introducing! Our faith's first Sow Pig believer...!"
My cue—door opened.
In walked Guild Master Park Hee-yeon.
"What the hell is this place?"
"Hah? Church?"
"Who authorized a space like this in guild building?!"
Abigail blocked her sternly.
"Guild Master? You approved my paperwork—now playing dumb?"
"Abigail...?"
"Hit the podium and do your punishment first."
"Haa..."
Park Hee-yeon stood beside me.
Had she practiced the Sow Dance?
Probably never know.
I'd pardon her—in exchange for assignment rights.
"Embarrassed?"
"You think I'm proud?"
"Aah—don't worry. I'll absolve you."
"Ab-Absolve...?"
Snap—Seol Harin delivered papers.
"Pardon the Sow Dance if you hand over dungeon assignments for a month? Heh heh heh."
"!"
Park Hee-yeon's face hardened.
Shock turned resolve.
"Get that away."
"Hah?"
"Can't give assignment rights to a thug like you. What's that differ from burying the guild?"
She had a conscience?
Her hypocrisy made me think easy mark—but surprise.
"Dance then. Watch close."
Park Hee-yeon played music.
I killed it.
"Hey. Sow Dance is acapella by rule~? Heh heh heh."
"......"
Park Hee-yeon stood in silence.
Clueless guildies murmured.
Anyway.
Dance started.
Twitch- twitch-
Dumchit- dumchit-
Mysterious hip-shake dance...
Ass out, begging for pounding—trashy as hell...!
Trashier than Goobuli's jig!!!
You got talent for trashy dances?!!
"Heh heh. Hilarious."
"W-Wait! No photos!!"
"Not photo—video's fine. Ignore and dance."
That's when.
Park Hee-yeon's face changed.
"Ugh... Can't live like this!! This guild I built and run!!!"
She drew a sword from subspace.
"You f*cking bastards...!"
"Hey Guild Sow Pig! What the f*ck you—"
Slash!!!
She sliced my statue.
The brand-new ultra-cheesy 'Leader Riding Sow Pig' statue—bisected...!
"Get out my guild, you vermin!!!"
"Hey. You're crossing the line..."
I pointed at Seol Harin.
Hoit!
She tapped her smartphone.
📱 SNS UPLOAD ⚡ Uploading photo of Kim Taeyang-nim and Abigail in swimsuits, arms around each other. "Wh-What?! Stop!!"
"Stock just dropped 2%p."
"Heh heh heh. Instant reaction—priceless."
"Stop...!"
Park Hee-yeon writhed in agony.
Like the stock was her HP.
But no stopping.
Pointed at Lena.
Hoit~!
📱 BLIND POST ⚡ Guild exposé posted to Blind. Shot straight to top. "Grrrr! Please stop...! I'll negotiate...! Stoooop!!"
Park Hee-yeon let out a death rattle again.
"Heh heh. Hey incompetent Sow Pig. 'Post-delete-run' it."
"Got it! Deleted!"
Time Cosmos ~ Gantappiya... Ya know?!!
"F-Fine! I'll negotiate!! So stop tanking the stock, you trash bastards!!!"
See? Proper Sow Dance negotiation would've been win-win.
Why be stubborn and crash your own stock?
Oh, wanted to show off the dance maybe?!!
"Hey Guild Sow Pig!!! You lost your mind?!!!"
"Wha...?"
"Stock crumbling to basic agitation is the stock's fault!!!! It's the agitators' fault for making it agitatable in the first place, right?!!! Huh?!!!!!"
"......"
She was speechless.
Sorry if I overdid the bullying...
Not like I'm some sadistic perv who enjoys tormenting people...
"Answer properly?!!!"
"S-Sorry!!! Stock's definitely at fault!!!"
Stock drop? Who cares—I'll recover it fine while I hold assignments.
My goal: growth and rewards from raids.
Pro raid guild's stock tank? Nah.
Ants!! HODL!!!
We're Mars-bound!!!!
