Solitude
The room was dark. Only cold air circulated, so frigid that my breath came out in visible puffs. The vibrator that had tormented me so mercilessly must have had almost no battery left. It had shut off not long after Haeun left. Come to think of it, it had been vibrating nonstop for so long that it would have been stranger if it hadn’t died. The real problem was that Haeun had fastened it so firmly inside my pussy that it wouldn’t come out no matter what I did.
‘It’s cold…’
Being completely naked in this state, there was no way I wouldn’t be freezing. The lingering afterglow of pleasure still warmed my body slightly, but it was far better than before. In a strange way, the heat from my flushed skin seemed to be protecting me from the worst of the chill.
“Fuck…”
Staying like this kept dragging up old memories. Back when I was a kid living in a semi-basement apartment. Just like you see in all those stories, my drunkard of a father had more bottles than toys in the house. That’s why I still hated alcohol with a passion. Even after I grew up, I never went near a single bottle. Every single night, my father would stumble into our freezing room that didn’t even have a heater, reeking of liquor… and he would always beat me mercilessly.
While hitting me, he would scream at the top of his lungs that my mother had died because of me. In my heart, I wanted to scream back—Why is it my fault? Why can’t you just be nice to me?—but when he sobered up, he would cry and apologize. My young heart couldn’t bear to say those words to a father who was sobbing in regret.
My mother had already passed away shortly after I was born, so I had never seen her with my own eyes. The only thing I ever saw of her were a few photos of a young woman at the columbarium.
“Haa… haa…”
That was why I had sunk deeper and deeper into games. A life different from reality. The more time I invested, the clearer the results. Unlike the real world, I could become the strong one. The same went for adult games. I lived vicariously through protagonists who enjoyed luxuries I could never have in real life. Since my own life had been nothing but getting beaten down, becoming the one in control and living a harem life, or even simply experiencing pure love as a game character, gave me catharsis.
Among those adult games, the hypnosis genre drew me in the most. Impossible plays that could never happen in reality. And the setting where not only the protagonist but the heroines could also find happiness completely erased any guilt I might have felt. Even if it was fake happiness… wasn’t happiness still happiness? That was what I used to think.
But now that I had actually entered the game—and as a heroine in a hypnosis story at that—those thoughts had completely changed. What the hell do you mean, happiness? That shit is just insane. Looking at Haeun earlier, it was obvious she wasn’t in her right mind.
“Someone… help me…”
If there was a god, I would pray. I didn’t believe in any gods, but if one existed, I’d beg it to save me. My life in reality had already been complete shit, and now I end up trapped in a damn adult game? Why me? What did I ever do so wrong?
Of course, I knew all the excuses people would throw at me. There are people who succeeded even in worse environments. I’d heard that line hundreds of times. So what? Did any of you ever do anything to help me live like this? It’s my life. Why the hell do you all feel entitled to lecture me about it?
“Hic…”
Was it because of that environment? Or because my body had become female? I thought I had forgotten all of this… but tears blurred my vision. After spending an entire day completely dominated by pleasure, I hadn’t had any time to think about anything. No—honestly, because I had only ever lived inside games, I had never truly confronted these thoughts before.
“………”
The floor was soaked. It was probably my own love juices… Was this punishment for having lived my whole life just playing games? I had fantasized about living inside a game before, but never like this. It felt like I was being burned at the stake, arms and legs bound, dangling helplessly.
“Thirsty…”
I didn’t even have the strength to speak loudly. There wasn’t a single window letting in sunlight, and no clock anywhere, so I had no idea what time it was. But from morning until now, I hadn’t eaten a single meal. Not even a sip of water. In reality, I had often survived on cup ramen for days, but I had never gone without drinking water.
“Haa…”
Anyone. Anyone at all. I just wanted someone to help me. I was already completely drained of energy. I didn’t even have the strength to break free from the chains. The only people I knew in this other world were Siwoo and Haeun. Maybe Siwoo would help me? Even though this was an adult game… thinking back, he had been strangely kind to a complete stranger like me. When you have nowhere else to turn, even the less cruel option starts to feel like kindness.
-BANG!
“Sehee! I’m back!”
The door flew open, flooding the room with bright light. My eyes, long accustomed to darkness, couldn’t adjust to the sudden brightness. Haeun, stepping inside, was framed by a radiant backlight.
“You must be hungry, right? Here!”
She released the chains and the vibrator still lodged inside me, then held out some bread and milk.
-Thud.
The moment the chains came off, my body collapsed to the floor. I didn’t even have the strength to move a single fingertip. I barely managed to lift the milk and gulp it down. Damn it… it was plain white milk.
“Hehe, good girl, Sehee.”
Haeun stroked my head slowly as I desperately drank the milk, treating me like a child. Don’t treat me like a kid. I’m an adult too. Still, the warmth I had never once felt before made my body instinctively lean into her touch.
“Why… are you suddenly being so nice to me……?”
I had almost spoken casually out of habit, but my body reacted on instinct and I barely managed to add the polite ending.
“Have I ever treated our Sehee badly?”
“Then what the hell have you——”
I wanted to shout at her, but I had no strength left. The best I could do was glare at her.
“As your big sister, of course I have to take care of you. Here, eat the bread too.”
She pushed the bread toward me. The plastic wrapper simply read ‘Fresh Cream Bread.’ As a man, I had my pride. I couldn’t just wolf down something someone else gave me… but this time was an exception.
“Hic…”
Was this what they meant by tears-soaked bread? Why did tears keep falling? No matter how I thought about it, the only explanation was that becoming a woman had done this to me. There was no way my body would become this emotional otherwise. Even so, the bread was incredibly delicious. The sweet, milky flavor of the fresh cream was perfect. I had never really liked sweet things before… Had my tastes changed too?
“Hehe, is it that good?”
Whether she was perceptive or just clueless, Haeun watched me with a pure, bright smile.
“I… want to leave……”
I squeezed out every last bit of courage to speak to her. I hated it here. It was terrifying. I didn’t want to stay in this place for even one more second.
“Sehee, you don’t like it here? But big sister made this place just for you.”
“There’s no way… I could like it……!”
Unless someone was a masochist, who would like a place like this? Don’t assume my tastes are the same as yours.
“Hmm……”
Haeun began to ponder. Yes, please think. Think hard. Let me out of here.
But what Haeun was thinking was completely different from what I hoped. Her next words completely surpassed my expectations.
“Hmm… I think it’s about time for the drug to kick in…?”
“Cough, cough!”
What the hell did she just say? From the very beginning, the option of letting me leave this place had never even existed in that woman’s head. And what drug? What the hell did she mean by drug?
“Hngh…? What is this♡”
My body, which had just begun to cool down, grew hot again. My pussy started itching unbearably, and my body began craving something.
“Actually… on the way here, big sister got a little lost! So we’re a bit short on training time, hehe. But it’s okay! It’s just a mild aphrodisiac, and the effects aren’t that strong… at least in this room!”
The last part bothered me immensely. Despite Haeun claiming the drug wasn’t strong, my body was once again burning with unbearable lust. This damn adult game correction. After everything I went through today, even a woman should be exhausted. Why is this happening again?
“Still, Master is very kind, so if Sehee asks nicely, he’ll fuck you. Well then… see you later?”
Fuck, that’s exactly the problem! I just want to see Siwoo— No, no. I just don’t want to get fucked by a man’s cock. I had eaten the bread and regained some energy, so I forced my burning, sluggish body to stand. Now was the perfect chance. The chains were off and I could move.
While Haeun was distracted, I sprinted toward the door visible ahead of me.
Story error has occurred.
For smooth progression, relocation will now commence.
“Ughk!”
When I looked around, I was inside a classroom.
“What are you doing?”
Having tripped over the threshold, I looked up to see Siwoo standing right in front of me.
