Chapter Title: Advanced Maternal Age Risk
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Pregnancy isn't an easy process.
To have sex, men and women have to set the mood, thrust their dicks into pussies over and over, confirm it's a safe day—or not—and pour semen deep into the womb until it's overflowing. That's the bare minimum prerequisite, the way to kick off the gacha pull.
Without going through that, you can't even attempt conception, let alone implantation.
Once implantation happens, congrats—you're pregnant. From there, you feed her good nutrition until birth, making sure the baby comes out healthy.
Young women usually have no issues.
Youth itself means health, the power to recover naturally even if problems arise.
The odds of birth defects or disabilities are extremely low.
Of course, alcohol, smoking, and such.
There are various factors that affect childbirth.
But generally, young women just deal with the hardships of first-time changes from pregnancy to birth. They rarely worry about the baby's life or death.
At least in skill pregnancies, that is.
That's why I'd always thought pregnancy was easy to achieve and easy to carry to term.
The women I'd impregnated—Lee Sua at 28, and Im Hyeji and Kang Hana both at 23—were all fresh and green, even qualifying for pregnancy bonus probabilities.
Just creampie them, and bam, instant pregnancies one after another. Short gestation periods too.
Morning sickness was the only issue, but a dose of semen sorted that, and they'd all deliver healthy babies. Toss in a magic stone, and it was a huge success—SSS-grade or SS-grade as standard. How convenient.
I thought that was the power of my SSS-grade sperm.
But meeting Kim Semi taught me it was my sperm's power, sure—but the woman's womb mattered too.
Without consistent nutrition during pregnancy, skill miscarriage probability: 67%
One slip-up, and it just dies.
Normally, with a basic S-grade pregnancy, it'd be like, "Mm, nice. Come back if morning sickness hits hard for a magic-stone injection~." Good luck could push it to SS-grade, high chance of mega-success aiming for SSS-grade.
But Kim Semi? It wasn't that. Every single day was a knife-edge walk: miscarry the hard-won skill or not.
Still, it wasn't a hassle or annoyance.
Was this paternal instinct?
Kim Semi, the one I chose.
I picked her for her skills, so raising her properly to birth was key.
"Even if it miscarries, there might be a hidden achievement or something."
Felt like it'd be easy to unlock that one.
Forget to visit for two days, and the achievement would pop before her call.
But I couldn't let that happen.
Lots to manage, and her morning sickness was worse than the others.
"Hng... Oppa... Is pregnancy supposed to be like this? I thought it'd get tough after a day like you said... Urp... It's too much..."
Normally, my presence helped, but not for her.
It improved a bit, but she still complained of nausea, and absorbing semen only lasted half as long as others—barely a day of stability.
Guessing the miscarriage window was about a day too.
So for ten days, I visited her extra carefully.
Thanks to Lee Sua, Im Hyeji, and Kang Hana's consideration, I'd given Semi plenty during conception. Now, not quite that much, but enough to prevent miscarriage—I always reserved her share.
Even if I blew my load for fun or used a stamina kit, I recharged at least one for her.
"This advanced age risk is no joke. At this point, we need a real miracle."
It sparked my competitive side.
Honestly, at her age, this pregnancy was quest-driven with zero other reason.
Not like I needed an "old hag" archetype in my harem of young, fresh girls for variety—better yet, someone younger with that mature vibe, like Gye Yeon-su.
But there was reason for Semi specifically.
I chose her, and the Pregnancy Support System pushed her for a reason.
I trusted the system. If it just wanted random pregnancies, it'd spam quests and tips everywhere. Seeing Gye Yeon-su should've triggered something—she seemed easier to knock up.
But nothing. Probably deemed her risky or unnecessary right now, based on my perceived risks or objective threats.
So I wanted to see it.
A miracle.
Even if I was fixating on the word and wasting effort.
Did I need to avoid advanced age pregnancies forever?
Or could careful nurturing yield unique merits from them? Had to check once.
Truth be told, low expectations.
Everything but birthing skills instead of babies was the same system. Age couldn't offer advantages.
"Sorry... Oppa..."
"Why's Nuna sorry? Getting older isn't a crime."
"...But getting pregnant older feels like one..."
"Fair."
"...."
"Still, I said I'd do it, so don't get too down. Stress might cause a skill miscarriage."
"Yeah... I'll do better... For Hyeji, Sua, and Hana too..."
She felt it herself—gone was confident Semi, replaced by the anxious mom risking skill miscarriage with one slip.
Even haughty spinsters turn frail sinners before their child.
This vulnerability was lewd, teasingly appealing.
Her still-vibrant face and body, humbly servicing me devotedly every night like a criminal—this side only at her place.
"Sluuurp."
Meanwhile, birth approached.
Progress, but no meaningful stability.
Locked at S-grade minimum, miscarriage still flips to 50-50 on a whim.
35% deformity/disability? That's other women's mega-success odds—not low.
11% mega-success was the sliver of hope.
I pondered.
And that tied into my current dilemma.
"Gotta raise Stamina to S-rank."
Not a sudden thought from her status—four women now, so more loads needed.
But upgrading Stamina to S-rank costs 5,000 P. I had ~220. No way.
Even absorbing all my magic stones wouldn't cut it.
To do it efficiently, absorb via B-rank stones.
Problem solved easily that way.
B-rank: 20P, 700 million won.
S-rank: 200P, 700 billion ±, but cash 100x, P absorption 10x worse—so sell one S-rank for 100x P absorption.
Sell 2.5 S-ranks to max Stamina to S.
That'd loosen my tight load limits, boost pregnancy/birth perks.
Stabilize Semi's miscarriage risk more.
But ten days? Tough to loop that fast.
So I shelved Stamina, pondered the SS-rank stone instead.
The Hunter Association half-extorted one.
Where to use it? Invest in high-risk Semi?
"If it's a real miracle, worth betting on."
Semi wasn't core to Kang Jik Guild.
Pretty and youthful-looking, but... that final age barrier lingered.
Like dispatching her as vanguard for Semi Guild, our solid 1.5-team backup.
Still, her abilities and skills were worth repeated pregnancies.
That's why this tough path.
No half-measures once started.
Decided to try.
"Old hag. Show me a miracle. Not the easy snap from young pups—earn it with your virgin pussy and effort."
"...Yeah... I'll try."
Not fully grasping, but matching my hype.
Tomorrow: Semi Guild's S-rank dungeon merc request.
Absorbed the SS-rank stone.
