Airport.
Numerous reporters clutching cameras were waiting for the passengers arriving on this flight.
"Th-there she is!"
Cameras flashed relentlessly.
"Guild Leader Baek Se-ra! Just one word, please!"
The Blizzard Guild's handling of Japan's Parade of One Hundred Ghosts Gate had become a massive story.
At first, the issue of "not enough hunters to clear the Parade of One Hundred Ghosts Gate" was just a minor problem. But once "all surrounding gates vanished and the Parade of One Hundred Ghosts Gate strengthened," it turned into an unavoidable mega-event that the media had to cover.
Countless countries had suffered catastrophes from "strengthened gates." Right next door in Japan, disaster had nearly struck, only for a valiant Korean guild to avert it. That was an incredible feat.
Baek Se-ra opened her mouth.
"I just did what needed to be done."
The press's attention flooded in. The Blizzard Guild members strode through the airport with dignified pride.
As always, Baek Se-ra didn't smile.
Lewd fantasies swirled in her mind.
'All these people watching me... But if that guy leaks even one photo, the whole buzz would flip in an instant.'
Setting aside the fact that Seong-ha would never leak it, it was entirely plausible.
With everyone's eyes glued to Baek Se-ra, if her exposure pics popped up somewhere, all those gazes would instantly shift to them.
She wasn't aroused by the people's stares. What excited her was the risk of her potential downfall—and Seong-ha, who held the power to toy with her at will.
'Ugh...'
She got wet.
Just a fleeting fantasy had set her body ablaze. She quickened her pace.
She had to relieve this desire somehow.
Baek Se-ra's house.
"Uuuugh..."
Sitting on the bed, Baek Se-ra clumsily pleasured herself.
She hadn't masturbated much. After awakening her abilities, she'd always maintained a cold, rational mind. She never let lust sway her. Instead of wasting time on self-relief, she pursued productive tasks.
For her, this sudden surge of lust was a pesky headache.
Porn videos or comics did nothing for her. She could tell the men in them weren't Seong-ha.
"Ugh, Seong-ha-ssi..."
Her only option was to imagine his face while touching her pussy herself.
It wasn't enough. Frustrating. Hopeless.
She pieced together the one glimpse she'd had of his face and the few times she'd heard his voice over the phone.
After that, it was all pure imagination.
His naked body. His cock.
Even the scene of him blackmailing her with a sleazy grin. She had to fill it all with clumsy fantasies.
"Hiiiigh, haaaah..."
It did nothing to relieve her.
She'd even ordered a vibrator online and tried stimulating her clit, but sadly, no pleasure came.
Imagining "Seong-ha forcing a vibrator against her pussy" gave a faint spark of pleasure, but it was still lacking.
'This...'
Baek Se-ra bit her lip hard.
"I need to find a way. Somehow."
She couldn't stay submerged in this unquenchable lust forever. She needed a more reliable solution.
Guild duties were piling up, and she'd have to enter a dungeon again soon. She had to restore her body before then.
She couldn't keep wasting time without even reaching climax.
After deep deliberation, she sent a message to Humanity's Shield.
-Personal matter, but I'd like to get some photos of Seong-ha. Possible?
-Yes. We'll send the photos we've secured.
A moment later, several photos arrived. Seeing his face naturally ignited her body.
With the photos in front of her, Baek Se-ra started masturbating again.
"Huuuh, uuuugh..."
Her pale, slender fingers grazed her pussy lightly. She softly kneaded her breasts.
It was a bit better than before. But her imagination wouldn't progress.
She'd rarely seen a naked man's body. At most, a few glimpses of injured men getting treatment or bare upper torsos.
Anatomically, she knew what a cock looked like. But she couldn't picture it piercing and tormenting her.
And crucially, she couldn't get aroused imagining herself taking the lead in touching or fondling anything.
She wanted to be blackmailed. She craved Seong-ha waving those photos teasingly in front of her, using them as an excuse to toy with her body, defile her, crush her beneath him—raping her mercilessly.
"Keut, huu, that's why I didn't want to mess with lust-related abilities..."
It was in the past now. She'd make the same choice again.
After a moment's thought, Baek Se-ra messaged the Humanity's Shield staff again.
-I know this might sound odd, but do you have anything... lewder?
Sending the message, Baek Se-ra felt ridiculous.
It didn't just sound odd. It was straight-up weird.
It wasn't pure intent that could be misunderstood. Her intent was impure. She planned to masturbate imagining someone she knew.
-We do have some Seong-ha photos... but they're for research. Wouldn't that be a privacy issue?
"Keuk!"
Baek Se-ra bit her lip.
Humiliating. She'd just begged for someone else's upskirt shots or whatever.
Face photos could have some excuse, but "lewd photos" had none.
-Shall we ask Seong-ha for permission?
-No.
Baek Se-ra took a deep breath.
-I'll do it.
It was already shameful. Better to ask him directly than go through someone else.
He might even agree readily. After all, she'd sent him lewd nudes before—or wait, no, that was someone else, but anyway.
She typed the message.
-Seong-ha. Really sorry, but the penalty's lust is giving me trouble. If possible, could you send some nude pics of yourself?
After sending, Baek Se-ra buried her face in the pillow.
She'd straight-up sent a sexual harassment text. If he used it as evidence in court, she'd end up in jail suing her. Otherwise, she'd have to beg him for a settlement.
'That might actually be exciting...'
Just thinking of him exploiting this new weakness she handed him made her wet. Imagining herself begging him pitifully sent shivers of arousal through her body.
'I've really turned into a hopeless slut.'
A reply came.
-If you need it that bad, wanna come take them yourself?
Baek Se-ra's body heated up.
/////
"Asking for lewd pics..."
An unimaginable request.
Like an archer saying, "I bared one tit, so isn't it polite for you to bare one too?" Since she'd exposed herself first, was she demanding nudes in return?
Honestly, the request itself didn't bother me. Sending her my pics wouldn't lead to them circulating online, and imagining her masturbating to them sounded pretty good.
But something felt lacking.
First off, it wouldn't satisfy my desires.
Having already enjoyed intense sex with Lee Ha-seon, the idea of Baek Se-ra jerking off to my body? That wouldn't give me much thrill.
'Haa...'
I hadn't started out craving her body. But the moment she revealed her self-inflicted penalty pics to me, I couldn't ignore it anymore.
I wanted to leash her with that weakness. Dye her porcelain skin with my mark. Ravish her. Drape those long legs over my shoulders and slam my cock into her pussy.
Her proud, beautiful figure was on TV. The internet overflowed with people praising and idolizing her.
The desire to crush that Baek Se-ra under me kept surging.
'My looks aren't bad... No real reason for her to dodge.'
If she had a lover or prized her purity above all, I wouldn't think this way. Even if impossible, I'd have endured to the bitter end.
But skipping sex with me just because of time? That stung my pride a bit. No matter how busy she was, she couldn't be busier than Ha-seon.
And there was a second issue. The real one.
'Nude pics from me won't be enough anyway, right?'
She probably couldn't climax from masturbation. Almost certain. Info straight from Ha-seon.
She'd told me. Even with orders like "You can cum anytime," or "Masturbate thinking of me, then report when you climax," it was hard for her to finish solo.
A sex slave might perceive self-pleasure as obeying her master's command, but since it was still her own fingers on her pussy, there were limits.
Ha-seon had the physique for fast, hard masturbation, and her body was hypersensitive from all the sensitivity penalties. Even she called climaxing "difficult." Baek Se-ra? Forget it.
My nudes might amp up the pleasure a notch, but she'd still feel unfulfilled. No matter how much she touched herself, satisfaction would elude her.
If her words were true—if it really was just a time crunch keeping her from sex with me—
Masturbation was the real time sink. Better to just take my cock. For her sake, and mine.
-If you need it that bad, wanna come take them yourself?
I avoided phrasing it as a command. I wanted her to choose this of her own free will.
My mind brimmed with thoughts of ravishing her. But I hadn't lost all reason yet.
If she refused, I wouldn't force it. Separate from my lust for her, I respected Baek Se-ra.
A reply came.
-Coming soon.
"...Ha."
I let a faint smile slip.
She seemed even more fired up than me.
