Chapter Title: Fit Your Pathetic Soul to This Body's Flesh!! Grunt!! Remember This Body's Shape for Life!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kang Ju-hyuk was a hero brimming with infinite potential.
The fact that three 9-star Constellations had latched onto him was no coincidence.
However, he had a fatal flaw.
It was his innate weakness for women.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Hero. I have seen your future, lost to the allure of women. ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Intoxicated by women, you will not take a single step forward. ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Thus, from now on, not only one-night stands but all romance that stirs sexual desire must be strictly forbidden. This was the testimony of the Great Mage of White Eyes, Aphorione.
That was why Planchel and the other three Constellations had banded together to form an anti-romance/anti-sex alliance for Kang Ju-hyuk.
It was the only way to save the world.
'If he just doesn't chase women, Kang Ju-hyuk can fully receive my power.'
To Planchel, Kang Ju-hyuk was a one-of-a-kind hero.
The first hero she could trust and bestow her Stigma upon—and the last.
That was why she had built their relationship with respect, praise, and sometimes pity.
She firmly believed their first Divine Sword Union would be together.
Until Kim Taeyang claimed the holy sword.
"Hey!! Are you going to let your hero die?! Hurry and become my affiliated Constellation and merge with this broken junk!!!"
The broken holy sword.
It was the sword Planchel had wielded in life, no different from a part of her body.
She had planned to find it and unite with Kang Ju-hyuk to sweep the battlefield...
'To think it would end up in that thug's hands...!'
"Gaaahhh-!!"
Kang Ju-hyuk, wrapped in tentacles, screamed in agony.
The grip was so tight that his body looked like it could burst at any moment.
The anxious Constellations shouted.
"Planchel! Do as that thug says! It's the only way right now...!"
"But the first Divine Sword Union is crucial! My soul adapts to the body of the first hero who uses it! I can't change after that!!"
Divine Sword Union was the Stigma merging Planchel and the hero.
It imprinted on the soul like first love.
Giving her first to Kim Taeyang would debuff the union with Kang Ju-hyuk.
"Even if we give our first to that thug, our hero can still use Divine Sword Union... It'll just be less efficient... If we worry about efficiency now, we'll lose a generational hero in vain..."
"Damn it!!"
But there was no choice.
Kim Taeyang would never hand over the broken holy sword.
You could tell just by how he was flicking his tongue between his fingers.
"Hey! Hurry up and decide! If you dawdle like that, your hero's gonna get squished flat like rat poop? Heh heh heh."
"Fine! I got it!!"
Planchel left Kang Ju-hyuk's embrace and flew to Kim Taeyang.
Switching affiliated heroes was instantaneous.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Planchel selects Kim Taeyang as the affiliated hero!] ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Planchel merges with the 'Broken Holy Sword'!]
Planchel was sucked into the sword.
Shhhk-
A ghostly blade formed at the break, restoring the holy sword's form.
It emanated a faint divine glow, reclaiming its past glory.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Planchel bestows the Stigma, 'Divine Sword Union'!]
At that moment, Divine Sword Union was achieved.
Planchel's soul merged with Kim Taeyang's body.
Planchel could feel Kim Taeyang's body, and Kim Taeyang could feel Planchel's soul.
"Whoa~ Successfully tamed the virgin ghost~☆ Grunt!! How's it feel to take in your first man ever?!!"
-Shut up, you thug bastard! You're just a puppet doll moving as I control you!!
"Hey! You think you can dominate this body so easily?!!"
-It's just a flashy but pathetic hunk of meat anyway... Gugh?!!!
Planchel, adapting to Kim Taeyang's body.
A dizzying sensation made her blade tremble.
'This guy's body... It's so huge and rugged... The dissonance is insane...!?'
"Grunt!"
Kim Taeyang flexed his muscles, swelling his body.
Each time, Planchel had to sweat to reshape her soul.
"Uoooh! The SSS-rank virgin Stigma no real hero even attempted!!! Thanks for the meal~!!!!! Heh heh heh!!"
-W-Wait...! Don't squeeze your body like that so suddenly...!
"Hah? Why are you slacking off?! Hurry and fit your pathetic soul to this body's flesh!! Grunt! Grunt!! Remember the shape of this body for life!!!!!"
-Ogohohoguk...?!!
Planchel had coveted men's bodies since childhood.
More precisely, men's sturdy physiques.
Even after becoming superhuman through talent and relentless effort, she couldn't shake the thought, 'If only I were born a man...'
She could have been far stronger.
And this man's body...
"This is a true male body!!! A superior physique no female can ever surpass!!!!!!!!"
It was humiliating, but...
'All these bulging, rippling muscles feel so gooooood-! This is exactly what I've dreamed of───!!'
It was the ideal body Planchel had longed for...!
-Damn...!!
Planchel finished adapting to the body.
Her will and Kim Taeyang's merged as one.
Having reached the realm of Divine Sword Union, they pulverized the Kraken at unbelievable speed.
Slashslashslash!!!
Red diagonal lines etched across its body,
and the next instant, the tentacles slid off, cleanly severed.
No time to regenerate before the next strike followed.
'This guy's body feels the best...! My soul is molding to his shape more and more...!!'
Slash and slash and slash again.
Kraken tentacles scattered endlessly into the air.
The pale holy sword's light cleaved space, draining the Kraken's life force.
The Kraken didn't last long.
It merely dangled, unable to twitch anymore.
Yet Planchel showed no sign of stopping her swings.
-This is amaaaazing!!!! It's so good I'm going stupid!!!!!!
The blade quivered in ecstasy.
"Hey, virgin ghost. How much longer do you wanna feel this body? Shouldn't you check if your hero's okay?"
-Uh...!!?
Only after that mockery did Planchel snap out of it.
Planchel hastily exited the holy sword.
She canceled the affiliation with Kim Taeyang and rushed back to Kang Ju-hyuk.
"Hey... You okay?"
"Ugh..."
Kang Ju-hyuk, revived just before death.
His face was drained of color.
Kim Taeyang stepped forward.
"Hey, wimp. I saved your life, and no thanks?"
"Th-Thanks, Taeyang..."
"Forget it. I had my fun with your Constellation, so we're even... By the way, that Stigma of yours was killer? I imprinted my body's shape on that bitch's soul, and she started making beastly noises from how good it felt?"
"Wh-Who made beastly noises?!"
"Hey hey! You enjoyed it and now playing dumb?!"
"Ugh..."
"Anyway, you've got a pretty high-class Constellation, huh? I popped her cherry first, though... Heh heh. Sorry about that. Couldn't be helped, so forgive me~"
Kang Ju-hyuk clenched his fists.
This guy had ravaged his childhood friend, his almost-girlfriend, and even his Constellation.
And now he'd been saved by that same bastard.
It burned with rage, but
he had no pride left to stand on.
"Wh-What’s there to forgive? I'm really grateful. For 'using' Lady Planchel..."
"Hey! 'Using'? Treating a Constellation like an object? You're disqualified as a model hero!! Heh heh heh."
"......"
In the end, no one died, so it was a relief, at least.
As everyone sighed in relief,
Planchel checked on Kang Ju-hyuk while thinking:
'Was this guy's body always this scrawny? Will he be satisfied with this...? No, no. Size isn't what matters. A hero's potential is what counts...'
Objectively, Kang Ju-hyuk had the highest potential.
But Planchel had already experienced a sturdy male body.
A massive, rugged male physique...!
It was Planchel's dream...!
There are things more important than performance...!!
'No... No... Forget that thug's body. Forget it.'
Don't think of an elephant!
-That only makes you think of the elephant more.
Planchel struggled to avert her gaze drifting toward Kim Taeyang.
*
The broken holy sword still hung at my waist.
Planchel coveted it but hadn't made a move yet.
She's probably plotting how to steal it.
Whatever she tries, it's fine.
I'm always the one in control, so I just steer things my way.
However, stealing a Constellation from Kang Ju-hyuk takes time.
I need to patiently use the NTR Solution to take Planchel bit by bit.
"What are you thinking about so deeply?"
After clearing the dungeon,
I was heading back to the dorms with Seol Harin.
She wore only a Hawaiian shirt over her cow bikini,
clinging tightly to my arm because of her injured leg.
Her soft breasts pressed firmly against my arm.
It felt like she was doing it on purpose.
But I couldn't complain to an injured person...
"You think I don't know you're using your injury as an excuse to rub those tits on me?!! Huh?!!!"
But Kim Taeyang was the type to even yell at the injured...
A man who says what needs saying, ignoring all that.
Kim Kakacola...!!
"Wh-What do you mean rubbing?! My ankle hurts, I can't help it!!"
"Wearing a cow bikini and seducing men with your chest... Such a lewd sow."
"...Fine! I'll walk by myself!!"
Offended, Seol Harin limped ahead alone.
I went in front of her and crouched.
"Get on."
"......"
Seol Harin silently climbed onto my back.
"Whoa~ Living body weight getto da ze~☆ Full-body workout on the way home is the best!! Muscles got bulky, so the weight feels just right!! Around 60kg?!!"
"It can't be that much!"
Blushing, Seol Harin hugged me tighter.
We walked in silence for a while before she whispered in my ear.
"Were you worried I might die?"
"Hah? Of course."
"For real?"
Of course for real.
Seol Harin dying?
Then no clear!! This world is doomed!!!!
Sure, even without her, my super carry body might save the world.
But it'd definitely be harder.
And above all... thinking of the time spent with Seol Harin, it'd be heartbreaking.
Even if it's a game world, it's reality to me now.
I can't treat Seol Harin as just a character.
Maybe not as much as her, but I feel a bond with her too.
I wanted to convey that feeling.
"I was seriously worried! If you die suddenly, what about all the feed you've eaten so far? I haven't even broken even yet?!!!"
Not like that, though.
"F-Feed costs...?"
"So until I break even, no dying without my permission!! Got it?!! Huh?!! Die without permission and I'll chase you to the afterlife and fuck you unconscious!!!!"
"F-Fuck means...?"
"Obviously a figure of speech?!! Not literally fuck, but make you suffer that much!!!"
Even I thought it was ridiculous.
Fortunately, Seol Harin seemed to understand the messed-up words perfectly.
"You're so bad at being honest... Fine. I won't die. So you promise not to do that again either."
"Hah? Do what?"
"Don't sacrifice yourself like that. When the skeletons appeared, you broke the floor to save me."
"......"
Her eyes looking at me were so misty... ah.
She misunderstood!
That wasn't to save you!
I was just hyped to grab the item!!
"It was so scary... Thinking you might die..."
"This body won't die that easily."
"I know, but... Promise anyway. No more of that."
"Hey, sow. Don't put restrictions on your master."
"Promise as my master! I don't wanna be a masterless sow!!"
"Tch... Annoying sow... Fine!"
On the sunset street, we made our promise.
The glow of dusk made the mood misty.
Like protagonists in a youth film.
Sometimes, this vibe isn't bad...
"Wow. Nice picture~"
"?"
A woman's voice from behind.
For a typical delinquent line, her voice was clear like rolling jade beads.
Turning around, I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
"Hi, Taeyang? Remember me?"
Silver bob cut.
She exuded an elegant, noble aura.
But unlike Seol Harin, she had a gentle, affable feel.
Where have I seen this woman...?
"Hah? Who the hell are you?"
"Don't you remember the sled dog race? You hit on me then. A dirty trick to steal my sled, but..."
"Ahh- The haughty-looking sister who was surprisingly easy?"
Then, Seol Harin patted my back, signaling to let her down.
I set her down, and it hit me who this woman was.
"Harin. Doing well?"
"Don't ask about my well-being like you care. You don't."
"You've always been so harsh to your big sis since you were little."
Her name was Seol Ha-jeong.
Seol Harin's older sister, and the 'intended' Ark student council president.
What does that mean?
She's actually a character who doesn't appear in the official game.
Just dummy data, expected to be patched in eventually.
The patch never came,
and a user patch 'Seol Ha-jeong Student Council President version' emerged.
It had frequent bugs, so I didn't play long.
That's why her face seemed vaguely familiar...
Seol Ha-jeong scanned Seol Harin up and down, then laughed amusedly.
"Haha. I heard rumors you became some thug's slave, Harin... Looks real. That trashy bikini... and a cheap piercing dangling from your navel... Heh heh heh. Doesn't suit you at all."
"None of your business, sis."
From what I recalled, Seol Ha-jeong's concept was intriguing.
Main heroine's older sister and rival heroine opposing Seol Harin.
Playing as Kang Ju-hyuk, getting both was impossible.
Due to their shared history...
"Those would suit me better, don't you think? Even Taeyang agrees, right?"
"Planning to steal them again? Sis already took everything! My dolls, my summoning magic...! What's a student council president want with this bikini and piercing?!!"
A greedy sister who steals everything from her little sister.
From toys and dolls as kids, food, to even Seol Harin's talent in summoning—embodiment of jealousy.
That was Seol Ha-jeong.
"Oh? Why get mad? What did I steal...?"
Yet she never admitted her greed—an insidious personality.
And despite that, she was stunningly beautiful, which was troublesome...
Ahem. Anyway.
Judging by her greediness,
Seol Ha-jeong's reaction was predictable.
"If I wanted to steal from you as you say... it wouldn't be the trashy bikini or cheap piercing—it'd be this man. Right?"
Seol Ha-jeong approached me.
A sly smile on her lips.
"Taeyang. Remember that day?"
"That day?"
"You hit on me first?"
Her lips lunged without warning.
Too sudden to dodge.
Mwah-♡
More a peck than a kiss, but still.
A pleasant scent brushed my nose, dizzying me.
"This is payback for stealing my sled."
She looked up confidently.
As if she knew all the tricks to seduce a guy like me.
Showing off how much more attractive she was than Seol Harin beside her...
"Truth is, I'm totally hooked on you, Taeyang?"
Definitely captivating.
Perfectly balanced beauty, alluring figure, pleasant voice.
Unlike Seol Harin, her sociable vibe and soft smile stole my mind in an instant.
"How about you, Taeyang?"
"Hah...?"
My mind might be charmed,
but my body is still Kim Taeyang.
No way I'd hand over control like this?!!
"You bitch!!!! Who the hell sneaks up and sexually assaults me?!!!!!! Are you insane?!!!!! Huh?!!!!!!!"
"Uh, huh? Sexual assault? I'm a girl...?"
"What era do you think this is, differentiating sex crimes by gender?!!! Were you born to wear an ankle monitor?!!!! Grunt!! Bring that ass!!! 2,000 whip lashes!!! Summary execution!!!!"
"Huh...? Taeyang, you're Guidance Committee?"
Ark's laws are absolute.
Student council president or not, no escape.
"Hey, Bendy! Time for punishment!!"
"Bendy Bendy~"
Seeing Bendy, Seol Ha-jeong's eyes wavered.
"Why is Lady Rasha-ra coming out of there...?"
"Shut up and present your ass, sis sow!!!!!!!"
Ignorance means punishment.
Ass presented SMACKSMACKSMACK!!!
