The Vagina Constellation
The residents of Atlantis looked up at the sky. A massive presence was radiating down from above.
The heavens began to change.
Even in broad daylight, starlight twinkled and flaunted its existence. Of course, there were zones where night still held sway. In those night skies, a new star appeared and shone far more brilliantly than any of the others.
Most of Atlantis’s residents accepted the anomaly without much fuss.
“A new constellation has appeared.”
“Someone must have piled up an achievement that rivals myth. I wonder what kind of feat it was.”
“First new constellation in months since Barclay’s Half-Ray.”
“Whose constellation is it?”
People stopped whatever they were doing and stared upward. The birth of a new constellation was a rare spectacle almost never seen.
Twinkle, twinkle.
New stars glittered. It was still impossible to make out exactly what shape the constellation would take.
“There’s one shining especially bright, like the North Star.”
“How are we supposed to find the owner? Maybe the bards, who live on rumors, know something?”
“It’s the Butterfly Constellation! Looking at those star positions, it has to be!”
“To the hero of the new constellation!”
The residents of Atlantis buzzed with excitement. Speculation flew in every direction. Someone raised a glass in celebration of the newborn constellation.
The stars grew sharper still, and from the especially brilliant one a silver line began to draw itself. Everyone watched with rising anticipation.
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
Every mouth closed.
Those who saw the finished form of the constellation doubted their own eyes and stood with jaws hanging open.
“Mom, what constellation is that?”
“What animal is it?”
“It looks like a monster.”
Children tugged at their parents, demanding to know the constellation’s identity. The flustered adults could give no answer.
The rest of the grown-ups were just as speechless.
“It’s a pussy.”
“…No matter how you look at it, it’s a pussy. Is it the Pussy Constellation?”
“What crazy bastard thought of a constellation like that?”
“From now on, looking at the night sky means staring at a pussy.”
“The owner of that constellation is definitely an enemy of every woman alive. I’ll find him and kill him.”
“Anyone able to read the constellation’s ability? The shape doesn’t matter—what counts is the power. I really want to know what it does.”
“My skill can read part of a constellation’s effect. Hmm. Setting aside the lewd appearance… this is actually a pretty good ability.”
“Bard, just what kind of ability is it? I’ll pay if it’s money—spit it out.”
“It grants temporary buffs when you have sexual intercourse with a woman.”
“…That’s a good ability.”
“You crazy bastards! How the hell is that a good ability?!”
The men snickered; the women scowled. The same scene played out across every corner of Atlantis.
The members of the A-Plan Legion also looked up. The Vagina Constellation shone brilliantly. It was obscenely lewd. Yet Kang Myeong-jin crossed his arms and studied it with complete seriousness. His dragon eyes read the constellation’s effects.
Kang Myeong-jin was impressed. The vulgar shape of the constellation didn’t matter in the slightest.
An effect that gives superiority in compatibility when facing women. It might look trivial, but half the world is female—so it can’t be ignored. And it probably works not only on humans but on other races and monsters as well.
Kang Myeong-jin felt genuine respect for the constellation’s owner. Female genitalia. Lewd, yet so intuitive that anyone could understand it at a glance. The man had almost certainly predicted the effect and deliberately chosen that form.
While he was admiring the power, one face twisted in pure disgust. Ju Seo-hyeon.
“The only bastard who’d pull something that ridiculous is that guy.”
“I agree with Seo-hyeon.”
Yu Seo-hee nodded firmly.
The elf Lilsne tilted her head.
“You both seem to think Yujin is the owner. He does have an eccentric streak, but I don’t believe he’d do something this insane. And more importantly, he doesn’t have the strength to have piled up achievements worthy of a constellation.”
It was a perfectly reasonable opinion. Counting Seong Yujin’s years of experience, he was still a relative newcomer. He simply lacked the power to create a constellation.
“You still don’t know that bastard well enough.”
“If it’s Yujin, it’s possible.”
Ju Seo-hyeon and Yu Seo-hee spoke in unison. Lilsne felt an inexplicable sense of defeat and closed her mouth.
“That constellation’s owner is definitely him. Want to bet? If he shows up tomorrow or the day after, it’s practically a hundred percent.”
Ju Seo-hyeon’s voice brimmed with confidence.
Normally Lilsne would have accepted the wager on the spot—it was a chance to make money. Right now, though, all she felt was the uneasy fear that she might lose.
“…I don’t think it’s worth betting over.”
I looked up at the sky and smiled with deep satisfaction. The Vagina Constellation. Now that I’d made it, I felt proud. From now on I’d be able to see it in the night sky two or three times a month.
Constellations grow. Whenever I pile up more achievements, or whenever I do something related to the Vagina Constellation.
Growth from achievements was far faster. The second method was slow and unreliable.
The stronger the constellation became, the more powerful its effects grew, and the more often it appeared in the night sky. My current goal was simple: see the Vagina Constellation every single night.
A presence stirred beside me. Elena, who had been concealing herself, appeared. She stood next to me and stared at the sky with an expression of pure disbelief.
“Right now I am fiercely regretting that I gave up my contribution points. If I hadn’t surrendered them… a constellation like that would never have been born. I feel sorry for every living soul in Atlantis.”
Elena reached toward me. I thought she might give me a celebratory kiss for the victory, but instead she pinched my cheek hard. Pain flared.
“Aagh!”
“Couldn’t you have chosen a normal constellation?”
“Most of the decent ones already existed.”
“Huu. Still, this is far too much. Do not go around announcing that you are the owner of that thing. Just looking at it makes me more embarrassed than you.”
“Well, I wasn’t planning to advertise it. There’s not much profit in it. Ah—perfect timing. Want to receive the blessing of the Vagina Constellation?”
“…What blessing?”
Elena’s eyes sharpened.
I hurriedly explained the constellation’s effects before she could explode. After listening, Elena crossed her arms and nodded.
“…Surprisingly, the effects aren’t bad. No—honestly, they’re better than I expected.”
“Constellations get stronger the more famous they are. They’re a kind of symbol. And in that sense, the vagina is pretty damn famous.”
“…Unpleasant, but correct. That… what exactly does the blessing of the Vagina Constellation do?”
“I don’t know either. But it can’t be bad—it’s a blessing. Your pussy might even get tighter.”
“I really don’t feel like it, but… since it is a blessing, I’ll accept it for now.”
I placed my hand on Elena’s head. The corners of her eyes lifted slightly. She parted her lips as if to speak, then stopped. I bestowed the blessing of the Vagina Constellation upon her.
Bestowing the Blessing of the Vagina Constellation upon the target.
The target is female. Conditions satisfied.
The Blessing of the Vagina Constellation cannot be used for the next 30 days.
The notification windows appeared.
They didn’t tell me the exact effect of the blessing. That usually meant the blessing contained an element of randomness.
I looked at Elena. Was it my imagination, or was her skin glowing faintly? Meeting my gaze, she grinned.
“Excellent. It’s a blessing with a name I don’t even want to speak, but the effects are outstanding.”
“What effects?”
“My stamina permanently rose by one, and my charm increased. It claims I can now seduce men more easily… does it work?”
She stared at me intently. Sorry to her, but I couldn’t feel any particular difference.
“Let’s check.”
I reached for her. Elena stepped back and shook her head.
“No time. I have far too much postponed work waiting. Just thinking about the pile… it’s dreadful. Li Mei, was it? That woman who will become the leader of the Black Pillar Alliance—I’ll educate her personally.”
Before I could even grab her, Elena vanished. I sighed at not getting a proper thank-you.
I checked what I had obtained.
Dominion over Area 5,845—the Three Walls. Every thirty days I would regularly receive 15,000 AP.
Including my other territories, the monthly AP income was close to 230,000.
Holding AP:2,771,752
Just looking at the number felt reassuring. More than half of it, however, already had a fixed destination.
I need to buy Spatial Movement Scrolls.
I was already using them to great effect in other worlds as well.
Current market price for a Spatial Movement Scroll is around 60,000 AP, right?
The price had been climbing steadily. As Atlantis’s overall level rose, more people bought the scrolls for emergency use.
At 60,000 I can’t even buy fifty.
Even earning over 200,000 AP a month, most of the expenditure still went to Spatial Movement Scrolls.
I need to stockpile AP for the future. But I can’t stop buying the scrolls either…
Having tasted the convenience of Spatial Movement Scrolls in other worlds, life without them was hard to imagine. Since there was no real solution, I simply shook my head.
The Black Pillar Alliance is finished. With Wang Xuan and Qing Guoli dead, Li Mei will take control easily. The Alliance will weaken by about half, but that’s actually convenient—it’ll be easier to manage.
Li Mei, after Elena’s personal education, would run the Black Pillar Alliance without any problems.
Now let’s really head back.
I almost tore a Spatial Movement Scroll, then stopped myself. To save the scroll, and as a little bonus…
It’s been ages since I came this far. Let’s play around in a nearby village first.
Two days later I returned to the A-Plan Legion. It had been so long that the Legion building felt almost unfamiliar.
The first to greet me was Kang Myeong-jin. He saw me and curled the corners of his mouth upward.
“I believed you would return.”
“Hell itself couldn’t stop me.”
“I heard something came up along the way… seems you handled it well.”
“Nothing serious.”
A gaze prickled at his feet. A blue-haired little girl was clinging tightly to one of Kang Myeong-jin’s legs. Biya, the Blue Dragon. She glared at me with those blue eyes. She still clearly didn’t like me.
She’s grown a lot while I was gone. Well, the standard of growth is different from humans.
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!
Someone came sprinting and threw her arms around me in a crushing hug. Yu Seo-hee.
“Yujin! I believed you would come back…!”
The strength in her arms was considerable. Feeling Yu Seo-hee’s body after so long, my own body started to heat up. It felt like her feminine charm had grown even stronger.
“Seo-hee, you’ve gotten prettier.”
More women appeared behind her. Short-haired Lee Minjeong looked at me with teary eyes, while Lilsne waved brightly with a wide smile.
Ju Seo-hyeon stood with her arms crossed, glaring at me with open hostility. I glanced at her lower half. She was wearing baggy pants, so I couldn’t tell whether the chastity belt was still on.
She didn’t remove the chastity belt while I was gone, right?
I slipped a hand into my pocket and pressed the remote. The reaction was instant—Ju Seo-hyeon’s waist bent slightly. She glared at me as if she wanted to murder me on the spot.
Still wearing it properly.
Only then did it truly sink in that I had returned to the Legion.
