Chapter Title: Became a Necromancer in a Zombie World
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A necromancer is, by definition, a class that manipulates the undead to take down enemies.
So I'd assumed that eventually, I'd be able to control the undead—in other words, zombies.
I just hadn't expected it to happen this soon.
"Where..."
The next day, I woke up at the crack of dawn and headed straight down to B1.
It was the perfect spot to test my skill without anyone catching me.
"Everyone, hands up."
I gave the horde of zombies in front of me a simple order in my normal speaking voice.
And just like that, an unbelievable sight unfolded: a bunch of zombies raised one arm in unison.
'So the range is about this much, huh.'
The range of zombies that obeyed when I spoke at a casual volume.
I eyed the farthest zombie with its hand raised to gauge the limit.
"Assemble in front of me!"
This time, I raised my voice a bit louder as I commanded them.
The quiet B1 floor of the department store.
Aside from the zombies' low "Uuuugh" groans, there wasn't much noise, so my voice echoed through the whole level.
Zombies from as far as my voice reached started shuffling toward me.
They closed in one by one, clumping together like slimes.
Before long, they packed in around me, blocking every direction.
"Good. Everyone, dismissed."
From this, I learned that the 'Voice of the Ruler' skill delivers commands through my actual voice.
Not thoughts or intent—it has to be spoken out loud, like communicating with another person.
Next up: what kinds of commands could it handle?
"You there, rip off that male zombie's left pinky nail and bring it here."
I gave the order to a nearby zombie, and it immediately shambled over to the one I'd pointed out.
It yanked the whole pinky clean off.
Then it brought it to me like a dog dropping a toy at my feet.
'It knows what a pinky is... but delicate work like just pulling off the nail is beyond it, huh.'
To get only the nail, you'd need a tool—or use nails to pry it off.
But whether due to stiff joints or low intelligence, the zombie came back with the whole finger.
Well, it did bring the nail, technically.
'Gotta be careful with my wording.'
I could handle zombies, but I couldn't expect precision from them.
For instance, if I needed to subdue an enemy without harming them and worded it poorly, I might end up killing them.
But that was just a tactical drawback.
As a source of raw labor? This ability was incredibly effective.
"Yeah, stack them over there. You lot, clear those supplies!"
At my command, the zombies moved in perfect sync, shifting the massive piles of food I'd always meant to organize.
They couldn't open cans, but hauling stacks of them was no problem.
'In a world short on human labor, this alone is a massive cheat.'
I grinned contentedly at the now-neat food section.
Revenge wouldn't end my life.
Once it was done, I'd build my own kingdom, whatever it took.
I didn't want to live rough like the old world, either.
I'd find a comfy spot, put the zombies to work, and spend my days banging my women and living it up.
'Later, I should test how long these guys can keep moving.'
If zombies could move for a good long while—not infinite, but substantial?
I'd have a ridiculous power source on my hands, aside from water or wind.
Zombies were a dime a dozen in this world, after all.
. . .
After finishing my 'Voice of the Ruler' skill test, I grabbed some ingredients for breakfast and headed up to the third floor.
I set them on the usual table and poured myself a glass of water.
"...Mm."
Ryu Da-hee woke up, looking tousled as she sat up in bed.
'She slept well, looks like.'
I smiled at her still-drowsy state and poured her a glass, walking it over to the bed.
"You awake? How's your head?"
"Ah, thanks..."
She took the water I offered in a daze and sipped it.
Then, handing back the cup, she noticed her upper body exposed above the blanket.
She'd fallen asleep just as we left her last night, of course.
'Eye candy first thing in the morning.'
Her pale, massive tits were right there on display.
"Eek—!"
Ryu Da-hee finally realized she was buck naked and yanked the blanket up to cover herself, staring at me in flustered panic.
"You showed me everything last night—why get shy now?"
I sat on the edge of the bed beside her, gently brushing back her messy hair.
Her cheeks flushed as she bowed her head and shot me a glare.
"W-We... last night was, um..."
She hemmed and hawed like she had something to say but couldn't spit it out.
"Hey, Da-hee. ...There's something I want to tell you."
I cut in first, and she swallowed whatever she'd been about to say, looking up at me with a soft smile.
Eyes full of expectation.
The look of a woman hoping I'd say what she wanted to hear.
I knew exactly what she wanted.
Just like Yu Ha-yeon and Oh Na-yeon.
She didn't want her first time with the guy who took her virginity to end as a one-night stand.
Yu Ha-yeon and Oh Na-yeon had been straight-up taken without any romantic pretense from the start.
But with Ryu Da-hee, I'd built a tender atmosphere for a smoother ride.
That's why she was giving me that look.
"I slept with Ha-yeon. And Na-yeon too."
But I couldn't give her the answer she wanted.
If I didn't clear this up now, it'd get messy later.
What I needed weren't lovers—they were slaves.
Still, I'd soften it a bit for Ryu Da-hee.
She'd be my property, not my girlfriend.
"...What?"
As expected, her sparkling eyes dimmed, her face twisting in confusion as she stared at me.
The face of dashed hopes.
"You... what the hell? So last night was...?"
Shock hit her hard; her brows furrowed as she started protesting.
"You said all that just to fuck me?"
Even in this zombie world, her mindset was still pure college girl.
Don't kill people. Help those in need.
Sex is for lovers in love.
Especially handing over her virginity only for it to end as a one-night fling? Unthinkable for her.
But it was time to change her thinking.
This wasn't the peaceful college world anymore.
"Yeah, I wanted to fuck you."
"H-How can you say that...? It was my first time!"
"I'm not lying when I say I'll take responsibility for you."
"...What?"
Instead of answering, I pulled her shoulders into my embrace.
And kissed her.
"Mm...!"
Her eyes went wide for a split second, but after the light kiss, she blushed and pressed her lips shut.
"I'll explain the details later. But one thing's for sure—you're my woman now."
People have this misconception sometimes.
That women are the rational ones.
Wrong.
Rationality's more a guy's trait.
Women get swept up in emotions more than you'd think.
Case in point: I hugged her like she was precious, and she blushed, averting her eyes.
"I've got reasons to stock up on women. That's why I bought girls from the dorm with food."
"Wh-What are you even talking about...?"
I ignored her question and kept going.
I'd explain the full story later, once I brought Lee Ah-rin to the department store.
"But one thing's certain: out of all the women I've had, you're special."
"..."
Ryu Da-hee went quiet in my arms, lost in thought.
Then she looked up cautiously, asking with anxious eyes.
"...Am I your first?"
Not her first experience—whether she was number one in my heart.
I grinned playfully at the question.
"For now?"
Her brows furrowed, and she muttered under her breath.
"...Asshole."
She didn't deny it.
But in this world, how high was the survival rate for nice guys?
"Player, womanizer, jerk..."
"Curse me all you want. But you're mine from now on. I'll protect you from any danger."
This wasn't a lie.
I had zero intention of leaving any woman I'd claimed out in the cold.
I'd keep them by my side, living comfy lives while I pumped them full of my seed.
At my sincere words, Ryu Da-hee—who'd been cursing—clammed up.
I slid my hand naturally onto her thigh.
"Eek! Wh-What are you doing...!"
"Hm? You're already wet? ...Were you hoping for this?"
"N-No...! Ah! D-Don't touch... Ah...!"
Her pussy was already slick with juices.
Maybe the kiss reminded her of last night's intense pleasure.
I'd wondered why even in her emotions, her usual sharp self wasn't mad at me.
"Then as an apology, I'll make you feel good again today."
"Wait...! I still have stuff to say! J-Just a sec...!"
Sorry, but I wasn't listening anymore.
Seeing her turned on flipped my switch too.
My dick was itching to pound her.
Thud, thud, thud, thud.
"N-Nooo...! N-Not so rough...! It was my first time yesterday, if you go like this again...! Haaah! ♥"
I spread the fully ready Ryu Da-hee's legs and slammed my cock in; her soaked pussy gripped and sucked me right away.
Her complaints vanished as she locked eyes with me in excitement and kissed me.
'No need for Dominion after all.'
Just in case, I'd held back a bit of Dominion from last night's first creampie.
But she'd accepted me easier than expected.
Once she fucked Yu Ha-yeon together with me later, she'd get even more used to it.
What could you do?
Even if her college morals lingered, reality was a zombie apocalypse.
After tasting my power in this world, she'd instinctively know staying my woman was key to survival.
"Da-hee, I'm cumming. ...Gonna fill you up again!"
"N-Not insideee—! ♥"
I stared at Ryu Da-hee—drooling, lost in ecstasy—and unleashed without holding back.
Spurt, spurt—!
As I came, she hit her peak too, hips shaking as she cried out.
Ding.
The familiar message popped up right after.
I hugged the panting Ryu Da-hee and casually hit [Enhance].
Ding.
[You have selected to enhance 'Ryu Da-hee.']
['Ryu Da-hee' has absorbed your bodily fluids and become your servant.]
[Commencing Trait Roulette.]
By choosing Enhance, Ryu Da-hee became a servant, and a new trait manifested.
The messages vanished moments later, trait set.
[Enhancement complete. Servant 'Ryu Da-hee' has acquired the trait 'Invisibility (B).']
'A B-rank for the first time?'
My new servant Ryu Da-hee's trait was 'Invisibility.'
'No need to explain this one.'
Invisibility.
Straightforward: the ability to turn one's body invisible.
B-rank, but depending on use, it could rival S-rank utility.
"H-Hey, where...?"
As I got out of bed, Ryu Da-hee—clinging to me—called out reluctantly.
"Gotta head out for a bit. Eat breakfast with Ha-yeon. Wash up over there—use as much water as you want."
"...Okay."
I'd test the ability once I brought Lee Ah-rin to the department store.
