The Radiant Path of Ascension
"…I have a condition."
He stopped the cock he'd been about to drive into her pussy. Intrigued by her terms, he took hold of himself and stroked slowly up and down. The head of his cock brushed her pussy and her asshole in turn — pressing lightly against the tight ring of her anus, catching for a moment on her plump outer lips, then tapping against her clit.
"If the condition is absurd, I'm ignoring it."
"The proposal you offered me is far too one-sided. If you answer every one of my questions with a lie, I gain nothing at all."
"Mm. So?"
"Of the three questions, answer one of them truthfully."
"Planning to cooperate with me more than once, I see."
"Were you intending to end this after a single round?"
"I'll keep going as long as I feel like it. But can you trust me? What if I lie about every single question?"
"I trust you. It would be more entertaining for you that way, wouldn't it? Haa…"
He pushed just the tip of his cock into her pussy, then pulled it out again, over and over. Yeon Ye-ha let out an unguarded sigh. The raw hunger in it was unmistakable — though, of course, the feeling vanished almost at once.
"Heh. You're right. I'll keep to the rules. Because that'll be more fun."
"So you're accepting."
"I accept. But one truth out of three questions is too much of a loss for me. I'm changing the terms. Ten questions, one truth."
"…That puts me at far too great a disadvantage. Five questions, one truth."
"We'll negotiate that next time. Today it's ten questions, one truth. Take it or leave it."
"…Understood. I accept."
"Then ask. And think carefully."
"……"
While she sat in silence, he kept teasing her open. He eased the head of his cock just inside her, then drew it back. The clear slick coating the tip stretched into a thin thread between them; before it could break, he pushed in again. The soft, thick press of her outer lips wrapping around the head felt good.
Squelch. Kiss. Grind.
The wet, sticky sound of cock and pussy kissing.
He worked her like that for a long while, then his eyes flashed.
Now.
The instant he felt her inner walls flutter, he drove himself home. His cock slammed against the mouth of her womb. Her pussy clenched hard around him all at once. Yeon Ye-ha's cunt spurted, squirting in sharp, wet pulses.
"Hnnngh…!"
He brought his palm down hard across her convulsing ass.
Smack!
Her startled pussy clamped down even tighter. He didn't fight the climax surging up through him. He filled her cunt with his cum all over again.
He pulled out. Between the flushed, swollen lips of her pussy, a thick white bead of semen pushed free. It stretched into a sticky bridge between her and the tip of his cock before it snapped. He looked down at the head of his cock. Cum still clung in the slit of his urethra.
"…Huu… hah… haa…"
Yeon Ye-ha buried her forehead in the pillow and quietly got her breathing under control. Even with his cock gone, her ass still twitched and shuddered. The clear imprint of his hand stood out on her right cheek. The lewd sight of her kept him fully hard without the slightest softening.
"Still haven't decided on the first question?"
"…I have. Are you Jegal Mo-sun?"
"……"
He didn't answer at once. He turned over her intent in his mind. A few possibilities surfaced, but none he could be sure of yet.
"Yes. I am Jegal Mo-sun."
"……"
Yeon Ye-ha's expression didn't change. It was hard to guess what she was thinking.
"You asked. I answered. Now it's time for you to cooperate with me."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Suck my cock."
"Understood."
Yeon Ye-ha answered without a second's hesitation. It took a little of the wind out of him, and at the same time felt entirely like her.
He rolled her onto her back and settled her flat. Then he climbed over her and straddled her chest. Her soft breasts pillowed under his ass — the finest cushions imaginable.
His cock, still wet with her juices and his own cum from being inside her moments before, tapped lightly against her soft lips. Her nostrils flared a little. She was catching the scent of him.
"Is this what I'm supposed to suck?"
"Can't do it?"
"I've simply never done this before. I was only asking."
Yeon Ye-ha opened her mouth and took his cock between her lips, then began to suck in an awkward, unpracticed rhythm. He stroked her hair and her cheek.
"Use more tongue."
"……"
He directed her the way one teaches fellatio, and she followed every instruction without complaint.
"Suck harder. Hard enough that your cheeks hollow."
"Shluuup. Schlurp…!"
Yeon Ye-ha bobbed her head, working his cock. Just as he throbbed on the edge of coming in her mouth for the third time, she suddenly spat him out. He clenched hard and forced the orgasm back down.
"…Why'd you spit it out all of a sudden?"
"Half a shichen has passed."
"So it has. Second question?"
"……Are you Bae Taek-ju, Director of Ipmaso?"
"Yes. This voice is the proof. There — I've answered. Take my cock in your mouth again."
"……"
Yeon Ye-ha opened her mouth and closed it around him.
"…Good. Use your teeth the way I showed you earlier."
"……"
"Ugh… I'm coming in your mouth. Swallow all of it."
Gulp. Gulp.
Her throat worked as she swallowed.
Time passed, and the hour of the fourth question arrived.
"…Are you Jongni Seonggwan?"
"……"
Jongni Seonggwan?
A name he had never heard in his life. That wasn't strange in itself. Even he didn't know the names of everyone in Ipmaso. The people whose names he actually knew numbered fewer than twenty. In Ipmaso, people were called by number.
"…Yes. I am Jongni Seonggwan."
"……"
He said it without a tremor in his voice. Having an acting trait was a blessing.
He leaned his upper body across the bed and drove his cock into the pussy of the woman whose ass was thrust back toward him. Slap! The sound of flesh striking flesh filled the room.
"Moan a little for me."
"Aahng. Ang. …Like this?"
"A bit off… but not bad."
Slap-slap-slap!
The sun outside the window sank low.
He sat comfortably in a chair while Yeon Ye-ha straddled his thighs and worked her hips up and down. Her cloth-bound hands were raised high above her head, baring the pale hollows of her underarms, her heavy breasts swaying and bouncing with every motion.
Their skin was slick with sweat. He studied her face. The blindfold hid her eyes. The lower half of her face, left bare, was as expressionless as ever.
"Ang. Aahng. Haeng. Ang."
Flat, dry moans spilled from Yeon Ye-ha's mouth. It broke the mood a little, but her voice itself was pleasant enough to listen to.
Squelch. Grind. Slick.
Every time she moved her hips, more wetness leaked from her pussy. Then, without warning, she lifted herself all the way up. His cock slipped free of her engorged cunt and stood rigid, unflagging. He looked up at her in mild confusion.
"…Half a shichen has passed."
"Already? What's the seventh question?"
"……"
Her lower body began to tremble. Pale thighs quivered; her waist jerked forward and back in spasms. Her swollen, flushed pussy twitched, then shot a stream of fluid like a water gun. The spray hit his cock and made it throb hard.
"Hnnnnngh…!"
That wasn't the end of it. Her cunt kept gushing, soaking his cock in a steady stream.
…I didn't think she'd actually lose control like this.
Her body listed sideways. He caught her by the hips and waist with both hands before she could fall.
"Haa, haa… haa…"
She breathed hard. A sweet scent rose from her open mouth. While he waited for her, he casually guided her hips down. Her outer lips caught on the head of his cock. He tried to lower her further, but Yeon Ye-ha held firm.
"……Are you… Yeom Gu-seok?"
"……"
He was not Yeom Gu-seok. He was Seong Yujin. But he was using Yeom Gu-seok's name here. He had no intention of playing dirty with this truth game.
"Yes."
"……"
Yeon Ye-ha's hips sank. Her red, swollen pussy swallowed his cock to the root. She began to move up and down. His hands stayed locked on her waist and ass.
"Loosen your hips a little more."
"……"
"Yes. Just like that. Perfect."
He watched her dully rocking above him. Her narrow, curved waist was as beautiful as a mermaid cutting through the sea. Her swaying breasts moved like rolling waves.
And at last the tenth and final question arrived.
They were fucking in the missionary position. She lay still beneath him while he worked his hips, taking her pussy at his own pace.
"Last question?"
"Are you… Cheon Yu-un?"
He answered as he came inside her.
"Yes."
"……"
At his answer, Yeon Ye-ha went slack. Her whole body went limp. He almost told her that half a shichen still remained, then thought better of it. She was already asleep.
…Looking at the state of her, she won't be getting up before tomorrow morning at the earliest.
The day had been thoroughly satisfying, so he decided to clean up after her. He washed her body clean, swapped the filthy bed for a top-grade one crafted by dwarves, and dressed her in fine lingerie and sleepwear. Last of all, he untied the cloth binding her wrists and removed the blindfold covering her eyes.
He looked down at her sleeping face and let his thoughts drift for a moment.
Today Yeon Ye-ha had put ten questions to him, and he had answered yes to every single one.
…I didn't have to say yes to all of them… but once I started, it just went that way.
The list of suspects was now fixed at ten.
He had given her far too many clues.
It's fine. Next time I'll set a condition that keeps her from asking these questions again.
The initiative was his. Yeon Ye-ha would have to follow his lead.
He gazed at her sleeping face a little longer, then tore a spatial transfer scroll and returned to his quarters.
"This afternoon is free."
Ipmaso Director Bae Taek-ju's voice carried across the grounds.
"And tomorrow, we depart west. The purpose is… as you have no doubt already guessed, the second trial. The contents of the trial will be revealed at the destination. Until we arrive, form squads with your fellow recruits. Each squad is to number six. Instructors — keep your people in line."
Bae Taek-ju left with the instructors.
The recruits scattered at once to enjoy the rest. Thanks to the rumors Cheon Yu-un had already spread about the squad system, most of them had their teams arranged in advance.
I'm hungry. The cafeteria food is terrible… maybe I should head back to Nakwol Mountain and eat there.
His steps toward the dormitory stopped. A crowd of recruits had gathered in one spot. Familiar faces showed between the bodies. He walked toward the cluster of people.
"Number 366."
Yeon Ye-ha's clear voice cut cleanly through the noise. For reference, Number 366 was Jegal Mo-sun's designation.
"I challenge you to a duel."
