Spring had arrived.
Beautiful flowers were blooming all over Ark Island.
In a few more months, lush fruits would ripen everywhere.
There was a reason this place was so bountiful.
Ark Island had been born from a dungeon phenomenon.
Long ago, it had been the lair of countless monsters.
Famous heroes had been deployed to subjugate it, and the island echoed endlessly with the screams of beasts and humans alike.
Their flesh rotted away, enriching the soil,
but their souls still wandered every corner of Ark Island.
Sometimes, those spirits would possess ordinary objects, granting them divine power.
Thanks to that lore, the game was packed with hidden items.
I headed to the bustling commercial district with Pomi and Seol Harin in tow, farming for artifacts.
"Whoa~ Coming to the busy streets after so long feels awesome?!"
To my right was Pomi in her female human form.
To my left was Seol Harin.
I strolled down the midday street with both of them tucked under my arms.
"Woof... This is too tight... Can I take it off?"
I'd lent Pomi some of Seol Harin's clothes.
The sizes didn't match, so Pomi complained of feeling stifled.
Her chest was just too overwhelming...
"Hey. You gain some, you lose some. If you wanna check out people's stuff, suck it up. Going into stores as a dog would be rude."
"Woof... Fine. But it's so hot..."
"I'll buy you ice cream, so hang in there."
"Wang♡"
Pomi was easy—as long as there was food, she was good.
Meanwhile, Seol Harin was stiff as a board.
"Y-you don't have to hold me this tight while walking."
"Hey! I'm hugging my slaves—what's your problem?!"
"...Do I really need to spell it out?"
Seol Harin glanced around, mortified.
She was hyper-aware of people's stares.
Ark Island wasn't just home to the academy.
There were all sorts of facilities tapping into the fertile soil and the spirits' power.
So the population was pretty decent.
The commercial district was no small affair.
"Did you see those girls who just passed?"
"Faces and figures on point..."
"What the hell is that guy's deal, walking around with babes like that on both sides...?"
"Told ya—girls love thug types."
Parading your women like trophies? That was Kim Taeyang's instinct...!
The more crowded the place, the more I wanted to show off that Seol Harin and Pomi were mine!!
Of course, it was an impulse I could easily control.
But squeezing them tight like this served another purpose.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [NTR Situation Staged!] [You obtained 5 coins!] NTR coins, right on cue.
Even the guys passing by thinking, "Why would girls like that settle for a loser like him...?" counted as NTR staging.
Earning coins this easily!
Lucky!!!
That's when Seol Harin hit me with a sharp jab.
"Didn't you say you came here to hunt?"
"Hah?"
"With you clinging to me like this, what girl would even glance your way? Most would lose all interest the second they saw me."
"Hah...?"
Her confidence in her looks was off the charts!
A real high-nosed noble lady thought process!
"If you wanted to pick up girls, you should've left me behind."
"What are you blabbering about, you dumb sow?! I came hunting, but not for women!!"
"What does that even... Whatever, just don't call me a sow in public..."
I slipped on the orange sunglasses I'd tucked into my shirt.
Mana flows in the air came into view.
Even knowing the game's perks, pinpointing exact spots in this real version was tough.
But with these shades? Piece of cake.
I followed the thick mana streams.
Soon, a familiar shop from the game appeared.
-Carrot Shop (Adult Goods Store)
The souls of slain heroes and monsters could possess anything.
And since Academia was an ero-game at heart...
Adult toys were loaded with artifacts...!
"C-coming to a place like this...! You! You planned this from the start, didn't you...!"
"Heh. Obviously?"
"You plan to tease my 'down there' with stuff from an adult shop?! Parading my broken self to the customers, letting them 'do that' while staring at me?! Your depravity knows no bounds—beyond even my wildest imagination!!"
"?"
Seol Harin's imagination was getting wilder by the day.
Blame the aphrodisiac additives?
Time to stick to pure supplements for a while...
*
Sandy Alvarez was a classmate of Kim Taeyang's.
She also worked part-time at the adult goods store, Carrot Shop.
Why an adult shop out of all places?
It was her uncle's store.
Sandy's backstory didn't matter.
What did was that a "big shot" had walked into the store where she worked today.
*Jingle-*
"Whoa~ Bigger than I thought?!"
Sandy froze at the voice.
He'd turned the Next Sword Saint into a slave,
caused a huge scene at the entrance ceremony,
recently taken down even the Guidance Committee President,
and ruled over the school's bad apples...
A thug who'd joined the ranks of legends in just a week of school.
'Kim Taeyang...!'
It was Kim Taeyang's voice.
Sandy instinctively ducked into a corner, letting her uncle greet the customer.
"Welcome. Huh...? One guy and two girls...?"
Even her uncle, a veteran of the adult biz, seemed thrown by the harem setup.
"Friends, right?"
"Hey, mister! Who brings friends to a place like this?"
"Then...?"
"This one's my pet dog! This one's my slave!"
"Oho. Impressive, sir...! Take your time browsing. Heh heh heh."
Peeking out, Sandy saw Seol Harin squirming in humiliation.
Sandy decided to hide in the storeroom for now.
Nothing good could come from tangling with Kim Taeyang.
Plus, her job here was a secret from most friends.
'Better not get involved. One slip with a scary guy like that, and my school life's ruined...'
She was darting into the storeroom when—
"Hey! Sandy!!"
"!"
"Knew it was you at a glance! Heh heh heh."
"H-hi... How do you know my name...?"
"Hah? Sandy Alvarez! Same class—how could I not?!"
"......"
Normally, you'd be thrilled if a popular guy remembered your name.
Not Sandy. Zero joy.
'Don't remember nobodies like me 'cause you're scary...!!!'
If anything, him knowing her name terrified her.
Was she on the shortlist for future slaves?
She trembled at the thought.
"Didn't know you worked here! Part-time on weekends too? Pretty diligent."
"N-no big deal..."
"Why the formal talk?"
"It's more comfortable this way...! Want me to recommend something good...?"
Stuck now, better rack up some points.
She desperately wanted to avoid his bad side.
Sandy pulled out a popular item for young couples: a motorized extra-large dildo.
Kim Taeyang's reaction? Lukewarm.
"Hey...! Nobody's satisfied with lame crap like that!!!"
"S-sorry...!"
A 20cm monster.
If this was lame, what qualified?
She sneaked a glance at Seol Harin.
Head down, drowning in shame.
"Forget that stuff! I know what I'm after—back off!"
"Yes...!"
Sandy prayed it'd end there.
Still, curiosity nagged.
What was Kim Taeyang here for? What monstrous toy did a guy with a constellation pet and Sword Saint slave need?
The mystery solved itself at checkout.
"Hey, Sandy. Ring me up."
"Yes!!"
Sandy hustled over.
On the counter: lube. Plain old basic lube.
Nothing special, yet pricey enough to be unsold stock.
"R-really... just this? It's not popular and kinda expensive..."
"Hah?"
"N-no! Right away! 65,000 won!!!"
Kim Taeyang didn't pull out his wallet. He stared at Seol Harin.
"Hey. Pay up."
"W-with my money...?"
"Whose else? Huh?!"
"Urgh..."
Seol Harin fumbled for her card.
'Whoa... Total trash of a guy...'
Sandy was appalled.
She couldn't wait to spill this to her close friends.
*Swipe-*
Before finishing, Sandy offered some condoms from the counter.
A small courtesy for safer school days.
Everyone loved freebies.
"Hah? What's this?"
"S-service! Thought you might need 'em!"
"Hah-?"
"T-too few? I was gonna give more! Here!!"
She shoved over a few boxes.
Kim Taeyang's face twisted further.
'What...? Why's he mad?!'
Sandy had never seen such a scary expression.
Her body locked up.
Hairs standing on end.
"What the hell do you take me for?!!!"
"I-is there a problem...?"
"There's no way this body would wear something like a condom?!!!!!!"
"...!"
Didn't care if his girlfriends... no, sex partners got pregnant?
Was he the type to creampie via mating press, then push for more sex under the guise of morning-after pills? Bottom-tier personality play?
Or did he actually want kids?!!
'Ultimate food waste of a man...!!'
Didn't even know if he made girls take pills, but either way, not a good look.
"Sorry!! Checkout done!!!"
"Thanks~ See ya at school~ Heh heh heh."
"Yes! Take care! Bye, Harin!"
"......"
As they left, Sandy slumped like freshly boiled seaweed.
'Why's a dangerous guy like that at Ark... in my class, no less...?'
School suddenly felt daunting.
*
Only after leaving the adult shop did I realize her comment was off.
I didn't have sex anyway, so no need for condoms...
Anyone overhearing would've pegged me as a reckless pleasure-seeker who only did raw.
Whatever. Mission accomplished—satisfied.
⚔ ITEM ACQUIRED ⚔ [Pure Love Gel]
- Love gel infused with a mummy's soul. - Absorbs mana when applied to skin. - Evasion +3
Looks like pricey, ordinary lube.
Actually, an artifact—and a unique early-game cheat item.
Simply put, it's a "mana absorber."
Sucks up mana on contact.
Not a ton, but killer for early game.
'Especially handy in one-on-one spars.'
With this, crushing the early protagonist? Easy.
Suck him dry, and he'll drop.
Got the target item, raked in NTR coins.
Back at the dorm, time to browse the NTR Shop...
But shopping wasn't over.
This street hid two more early-game items.
"Where to now...?"
"Shut up and follow. Got a gift for you."
"A g-gift...?"
Seol Harin's eyes widened at "gift."
Pomi bounced beside her: "I want a gift too!"
Expected reactions.
Never dreamed a guy like me would give gifts.
This item's for her, not me.
And since it's an ero-game...
It ain't ordinary...!
"Here! Where we'll buy your gift!!"
Seol Harin froze in front of the store.
"Th-this place...?!"
Her eyes shook violently.
