Chapter Title: A Taste of Pregnancy (2)

⚙ SYSTEM TIP ⚙
【Tip 13. Pregnancy occurs through the throat, uterus, or anus—the three sites where SSS-grade Sperm can be absorbed. Each female has a different site with the highest implantation rate, and implantation time may vary by site.】
I am a pregnancy ability user.
I've been granted SSS-grade Sperm for reproduction as my ability, and by impregnating women with it, I enhance those abilities, claim them for myself, and grow stronger. It's a bit of a different genre, but you could call it a growth-type munchkin power.
As such, the core of my ability is pregnancy.
Impregnating women—females—is the goal of my life and the entirety of my power.
So, I could kind of understand the fuss being made by these messages from the Pregnancy Support Program.
Pregnancy failure.
This result proves the fragility of the species, after all.
Reasons for failed pregnancies can be found in either eggs or sperm, but sperm graded SSS shouldn't fail.
At least that's how it feels.
Just shoot your load and go, "Hmm... bad luck, pregnancy failed. Oh well. Next time it'll work."
If that were the case, women like Im Hyeji or Lee Soo-ah wouldn't come to me—they'd just have pregnancy sex with handsome, fit guys.
That's why I could somewhat understand this message.
It was a decent discovery, in its own way.
Implantation failure.
This was the first time for me, who'd always one-shot one-kill pregnancies until now.
I'd been curious, too.
What happens if pregnancy fails? Is that it?
But for SSS-grade Sperm to linger this long, granting a pregnancy preview effect and even leaving pheromones behind...
That's pretty positive news.
Any woman who tastes the enhanced skills from that effect will instinctively seek me out via pheromones, creating chances for retry attempts. More tries mean a natural pregnancy eventually.
One problem, though.
Why did it have to be Kang Hana?
"Well, I already shot my load..."
Nothing much to say about that.
It just gives me a headache.
Doesn't the phrasing sound way too violent?
Impregnate your little sister, Kang Hana.
Back then, I'd said I'd use the elixir to save her without thinking about the aftermath, and that was true—but with minimal rational judgment, I'd chosen her mouth over her pussy.
Not that shoving into her pussy after stripping off her panties would have worked in that situation anyway.
I'd at least kept the possibility of pregnancy in mind, but who knew the throat could lead to one too?
Well, the odds were low, so it failed, but still...
It made me realize anew just how incredible SSS-grade Sperm's power is.
Anyway, checking the breeding targets, Kang Hana was listed too—even if only temporarily.
"Sigh."
What to do?
Saying "No incest" and cutting her off coldly... well, I didn't really have that strong a revulsion.
Even when I first got the quest, I'd thought, "Why not just complete it with Kang Hana right there?"
It wasn't like we'd actually have a kid anyway.
It's just that with parents around and societal norms, I'd kept my distance.
Mess it up, and I'd go from shut-in loser to incestuous rapist scum, crashing my life into the gutter.
I had no intention of forcing it either.
Still, getting a quest like this complicated my thoughts.
Purely looking at the rewards, there was no reason not to.
None of the abilities from quests so far had been useless.
Just close my eyes and impregnate her?
"Whew. Better watch and wait."
For now, since the SSS-grade Sperm ingested orally would stay active in her body for 48 hours, I'd observe how the pheromones worked closely.
Couldn't focus solely on Kang Hana anyway—Lee Soo-ah's ability birth was tomorrow, and Im Hyeji's Resurrection hitting level 5 wasn't far off.
"The life of a polygamous dad is tough."
I soothed my weary dick's fatigue while gazing at the beautiful smile on the sleeping Im Hyeji beside me.

Kang Hana woke up to everyone's attention.
"Oh my. Hana, did you do your makeup?"
"Huh? No?"
"What? Why's your skin so good today? You look pretty."
"Thank you..."
"Hana, you okay? Your complexion looks great."
She hadn't thought much of it and hadn't checked the mirror closely in the bathroom, but hearing everyone and confirming it herself, her skin definitely felt cleaner.
It even had a healthy glow.
Having only cared about her injured spots before, she checked her belly under her clothes—no trace of the wound, smooth as if she'd never been hurt, with glossy, dewy skin there too.
Her body felt light, and her stamina and mana had risen.
⚔ STATUS ⚔
【Name】Kang Hana
【Age】23
【Ability】Stealth Reconnaissance (B)
【Stats】
🍀 Stamina:B → A
🛡️ Mana:D → C
【Skills】
✨ Precision Search:(B → S)
✨ Swift Movement:(D)
Her stats had risen, and now she had the A-grade stamina she'd always wanted—the world felt light as a feather.
Above all, confirming via message that her main skill, Precision Search, had been enhanced thrilled her most.
⚡ SKILL UPGRADE ⚡
【Lv. 5】【S】【Precision Search】
＊ Scans within a 1km radius.
＊ Includes Stealth (S), underground up to 20m, and aerial ranges.
＊ Maintains Stealth (S) from surrounding threats during scan.
"This... is my skill?"
It couldn't be.
Her original B-grade Precision Search only scanned about 50m at best.
It wasn't wide, but its detail earned her ace scout status in the recon team despite being B-grade, letting her thrive as a hunter.
This was a completely different skill—one that felt like a betrayal of her trusty old one.
"No way."
No, it was the same skill on closer look.
The name and base function matched what she'd used, but the performance left her jaw on the floor.
Why? Suddenly?
The message resolved her questions.
About 42 hours left since waking.
For some reason, alongside "pregnancy failure," her stats and skills had been enhanced.
Kang Hana had several options.
First up: what caused this change?
When she'd nearly died.
They'd said an elixir saved her, so that was likely the biggest factor.
The elixir might have temporarily boosted her stats too.
But that didn't explain "pregnancy."
So, ask the person who gave her the elixir.
Not right now, though.
"Party leader. Send me back to Namyang High. I can definitely scout properly today."
"...You sure?"
"Yes. Backup forces are stationed in the city outskirts, and I won't push too hard."
Recon missions to Namyang High were on hold.
It was Semi Guild's sector anyway, and after yesterday's incident, sending more scouts into S-grade monster territory was dicey.
So they'd paused, but now Kang Hana stepped up.
Hong Si-jun had no reason to refuse.
Recon had to happen eventually.
Abandoning the area after losing a scout or blindly sending hunters would be idiotic.
The more dangerous, the harder you scout to assess the enemy.
F Team mobilized again with her.
This time, B Team provided sub-backup, standing by in the cleared city outskirts against possible S-grade appearances.
But Kang Hana wasn't worried.
If her stats and upgraded skill weren't a system glitch, nothing could take her down again.
Shrr.
Activating the skill blurred her form.
The surroundings, terrain, lifeforms—all registered through her senses, mapping vividly before her eyes.
"...Wow..."
She gasped in awe.
Her old Precision Search felt like an outdated, clunky printer compared to this perfect terrain replica.
It wasn't just visual.
She sensed it.
Where everything was.
Even the position of the S-grade Black Mantis that attacked her—now caught by her S-grade scan.
1km was vast.
Scores behind her, and ahead, she scanned Namyang High through to the park.
Info she'd normally need to enter the park for.
Monsters she'd pass—and fight—at Namyang High en route.
Chills ran down her spine.
"4 S-grades... 14 A-grades..."
Charging in blind would've made her monster chow—not even a snack.
To that many, she'd be limbs torn off without a peep.
She even felt grateful to the Black Mantis.
Thanks to its attack here, she'd survived.
"Recon complete."
"...Already?"
"Huh?"
Kang Hana, who'd poked around the entrance, returned, drawing puzzled looks from F Team as they followed.
Her report prompted a large-scale combat party formation.
The corners of her mouth stayed lifted, refusing to come down.
Rebirth's reward?
The elixir?
Even that awkward "pregnancy preview" term—she had to admit it.
If this was pregnancy, she'd taste it a hundred, a thousand times over, anytime.
