Chapter Title: Pregnancy Commission (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My impregnation ability was a top-secret matter, classified at the highest level.
There were all sorts of conspiracy theories floating around about the Kang Jik Guild—hypnosis apps, awakening agents, you name it.
Plenty of stories circulated here and there, but none ever touched on anything pregnancy-related. That was because it was an ability so unpredictable, no one could possibly anticipate it.
Who could have guessed?
The power of a man who could turn women into SSS-rank hunters, or even double SSS-rank hunters, was actually getting them pregnant by ejaculating a ton inside them.
It was the kind of thing that could cause massive cognitive dissonance. Even if you explained it outright, half the people would probably call bullshit and refuse to believe it.
That's why only six people on Earth knew about my impregnation ability right now.
Im Hyeji. Lee Sua. Kang Hana. Han Semi. Gyeoyeon Su. Hong Sijun.
Assuming none of them had spilled the beans to anyone, of course. I always kept in mind that some info might have leaked already, or could leak anytime.
So when a pregnancy-related guild commission suddenly popped up from the US—no, from the world's 12th-ranked guild—it was so unexpected that I asked to meet.
My impregnation ability wasn't something I could hoard or control on a whim.
Truth be told, if I could, I'd line up women 24/7 who wanted to get pregnant and fill them all with my semen like it was some gacha pull. It might even be a good time for me.
Impregnate them, and if a good skill or the one I wanted popped out, nurture it. If not, ditch without mercy.
That way, I wouldn't have to keep pumping out semen nonstop, praying for SSS-rank abilities or skills. I could just focus on the winners.
But that didn't align with my vision for the impregnation ability.
I had to control it moderately, and not just for simple pregnancies—I needed to find women worth impregnating for my own happiness.
Even now, carefully selecting them, I'd already found four, and my days were filled with nonstop sex.
My creed was to steadily seek more women to impregnate, but never just anyone.
That's why this commissioned pregnancy piqued my interest.
I wasn't picking only women to join the Kang Jik Guild forever. If a client was willing to pay top dollar to buy a pregnancy, I was ready to invest the time and effort.
So I wanted to meet her at least once.
Check her looks, her money—whatever.
I sent a DM to the Destiny Guild with the office location pinned. Since our "office" was just my house.
That was probably two days after their DM yesterday, this morning. Figured it'd take a few more days with prep time.
Or so I thought.
Ding-dong—
The doorbell rang less than an hour later.
"...Huh?"
No way, right?
I ignored it, scrolling Hunter Gallery, when Mom opened my door looking for me.
"Jik, some foreign friend came by?"
"...Pardon?"
I got up and headed to the entrance. There stood a silver-haired cutie who screamed foreigner at first glance, her expression icy cold.
Flanking her were two white guys, all muscle and sunglasses, radiating "touch her and you're fucked" vibes.
And the pistols holstered at their waists? Pure curiosity bait.
"...Those toy guns or what?"
She probably didn't get it, but the silver-haired girl shook her head and replied.
"Real pistols. Can I come in?"
"...Huh? You speak Korean?"
"Of course I'm Korean? I mean, I speak Korean. You're the idiot."
"...."
This tiny thing wouldn't shut up as she slipped off her shoes and strode in.
She looked haughty and noble, like a princess from some romance fantasy novel, but her trendy luxury outfit clashed with that image. Still, taking off her shoes at the entrance showed surprisingly good manners.
As the two burly guys moved to follow, she raised a hand to stop them.
"Koreans take off shoes at home. Wait here."
"...They don't speak Korean, do they?"
"Earphones translate."
"Ah."
This chaotic first encounter already had Mom and Kang Hana peeking from the hallway.
Where to go?
Since the "office" was home, I hadn't picked a spot for the talk.
As I pondered, the silver-haired girl decided for me.
"Where do we do the pregnancy? This way...?"
"Here. This way."
I grabbed her slender wrist and pulled her into my room.
The guards—or hunters, whatever—twitched to react, but she stopped them, so they just watched.
Door shut, finally some breathing room.
"Whew. What the hell is this?"
Too chaotic for a sudden event.
Before I could sort my thoughts, I'd let her in. Now I got why people fell for voice phishing.
Logically, no way should I bring strangers home.
But with her right there at the door, somehow I just... did.
"You're the one who posted the Destiny Guild commission?"
"Yeah."
"...You're the guild master?"
"Not me. My dad's the guild master."
Her casual reply was funny enough, but the smooth two-way convo was absurd.
Her Korean was so fluent, I felt like the foreigner fumbling.
White socks up to her ankles, beige knit, flowy thin long skirt.
Perched on the bed, legs crossed, looking up at me, she introduced herself.
"I'm Nia Astera. F-rank hunter with Destiny Guild, CEO of D.T. Asset Management."
"...."
Her confident tone inspired trust.
Too bad my strap wasn't that long.
"Rich?"
"Yeah. My company manages about 4 trillion dollars."
"Not your money, though?"
"Could siphon as much as I want if I felt like it. Personal assets around 600 billion dollars."
"...."
Even with my short strap, I could tell.
This woman who flew to Korea for pregnancy wasn't right in the head either.
I tried to steel myself.
I'd called her just to see and check how she knew, but that seemed secondary now.
"Why the sudden pregnancy urge at your age? K-pop fan? If you really wanna get knocked up by a Korean, I could make it happen... but think it over. You cool?"
"...."
At my probe, Nia eyed me like a weird bug, frowning delicately.
"You know it's not that kind of pregnancy."
"...No clue?"
I played dumb, and confusion flickered across her face.
She was convincingly acting, tilting her head slightly, scanning me honestly.
Seizing the moment, I tossed out a question.
"You got prophecy powers or something?"
"...No."
A one-second hesitation, then a stone-cold lie without blinking. I clicked my tongue.
"Saying 'no' out of nowhere is too obvious."
Truth be told, it was one or the other.
No random US Hunter Association staffer, but a girl from the 12th-ranked guild?
Either a sliver of info leaked across the ocean, or she had some way to confirm my ability.
Honestly, since awakening my impregnation power, I'd stopped seeing the world normally.
A guy suddenly awakening to spew SSS-grade sperm and impregnate women—living by logic and reason? Forget it.
With my reproduction ability, it made sense others had equally baffling powers.
The quickest, easiest explanation in my head? Foresight.
I was already semi-famous underground. Exposure was just a matter of time.
She foresaw, found out, came.
Or some power piercing my ability.
I guessed first one—nailed it.
"Impregnate me. Compensation's ready."
Did she think she'd slipped? Straight to the point.
But I wasn't rushing there.
This intriguing episode opener, Nia—she sparked way more questions.
"You know what pregnancy is, how it's done, right?"
I sidled up, pushed her shoulder, laying her back on the bed and climbing atop. She watched calmly and said,
"What I saw was me muttering about needing a second pregnancy while staring at SSS-grade skills in a status window. Mentioned you, Kang Jik. That's why I came."
"...That's it?"
"My skill's F-rank, intermittent future sight. First activation in 7 years since awakening."
No flinch as a strange man straddled her belly, pinning her shoulders.
Silver hair splayed on the bed, unflustered even lying down—supple skin, delicate features.
I wanted to crumple that haughty face, make it flush, draw moans. Her tiny cherry lips piqued my interest more.
"To make your dream pregnancy happen, it'll cost a fortune. If you're willing to blow all your managed funds, say it. I'll impregnate you."
Money. Or allure.
At least Nia nailed the latter—prime impregnation material.
A sudden white horse addition? Unplanned, but top-tier male sex fantasy.
And the former? Covered.
"Compensation's here. Like in the vision."
"...It said that too?"
"SSS-grade magic stone. This what you want?"
Like pulling a roadside pebble from her small bag—a fist-sized rock, twice over.
The dazzling SSS-grade magic stone appeared on my bed.
