Stress Relief

"Semi. What do you think is the real cause of that urge you feel?"

"…The cause?"

Yu Semi sank into thought for a moment.

"Isn't it because of the ghost…?"

"I'm talking about something more fundamental. Why do you think a Dokkaebi latched onto you in the first place?"

"……."

The original heroines all had problems. Those problems were what let the ghosts possess them.

In Ji Dahye's case, it was her parents' suffocating interference.

Seol Jiyoung had a terminal illness. She summoned a ghost to cure it.

And Yu Semi?

"…Stress. I was just so exhausted."

Yu Semi said.

Stress.

More precisely, academic stress.

Yu Semi was on the kendo team and still served as class president. That wasn't just because she was popular. Her grades were excellent too. She might not have been first in the school, but she always ranked inside the top ten.

The complete package — scholar and warrior both.

It sounded nice on paper. In practice, it was impossible without a monstrous amount of effort.

As a kendo club member, Yu Semi trained until evening after school. When a tournament drew near, she skipped class entirely and reported straight to the dojo.

She simply had less time to study than everyone else. And for the record, she was no genius.

She studies while other people sleep, and trains while other people rest.

She had kept pushing herself to live up to her family's expectations. But effort doesn't stop stress from piling up. Academic pressure had stacked higher and higher inside her until it finally called a Dokkaebi.

In the original story, she used the Dokkaebi's power to protect both her grades and her kendo record… but in this world, she had put that power to a more fundamental use. Murder. Unloading stress by wielding overwhelming force against other people.

"Once you know the cause, you fix it."

"…Fix it? You're telling me to throw away my grades? I can't do that."

"What about dropping out of school?"

"Absolutely not. Even if it's you saying it — no."

"Just throwing it out there. I don't actually think dropping out would solve anything."

Quitting school would only erase the academic stress for a while. Some other kind of pressure would come crashing down afterward.

"…Like you said. If I kill one person a day…"

"I don't care about that part. But are you going to be satisfied with just one a day forever?"

"……."

Familiarity dulls the stimulus. Murder is no exception. To keep relieving the stress, she'd end up killing more and more people.

"Don't overthink it. There's a perfect way to blow off stress."

"What way?"

"This way."

I thrust my hips forward. My cock punched through her hymen and sank all the way to the back of her pussy.

"Haaaaaah!"

Yu Semi's back arched like a drawn bow. I kneaded her full breasts as I slowly worked my hips. Her pussy was scorching hot. Thick fluid dripped down in fat drops. I couldn't see it, but I knew what it was. Virgin blood.

Squelch. Squelch.

I focused on reshaping the inside of her cunt around my cock. The vaginal folds clinging to my shaft were deliciously springy.

"Aah, ahng! Aueung…!"

Yu Semi cried out. The bleeding from her torn hymen had already stopped. Possessed by a Dokkaebi, her strength, agility, and recovery all sat well outside the range of ordinary humans.

That worked out well for both of us. She could feel my sexual pleasure without the pain, and I could thoroughly enjoy her springy pussy. Win-win.

"Aang! Ahng! It feels so good…!"

"See? Stress just melts right off, doesn't it?"

"Yeah! You're right, Yujin! The stress is— oeut?! Oooong!"

Maybe she sensed the massive wave of pleasure bearing down on her. Suddenly she started thrashing her arms and legs, trying to get away from me. Of course I didn't allow it. I pressed in even tighter, pinning the backs of her knees with my own as I drove my hips.

Thwack-thwack-thwack!

"Aaaaang! Ah, no…! Something's— hiiiiiiiiii!!"

Yu Semi jerked and shuddered. A spectacular fountain show erupted from her pussy. Feeling the vaginal convulsions clamp down, I poured a thick load deep inside her. I slowly pulled out. Yu Semi let out a pig-like squeal of pure pleasure.

"Hiiiiiii…."

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

I grabbed her trembling thighs, forced them open, and admired her sex. Her spread pussy was slowly contracting, the interior fully visible. My semen coated her cervix and vaginal walls, which still twitched and spasmed. The way the walls squeezed and pushed the cum back out was obscenely lewd.

"Think you can go again?"

"I-I can. Yujin. Do me more…. Fuck me."

"Good. Doggy this time. Get on your knees and stick that ass out."

"Like this?"

"Perfect."

Her white, round ass looked fantastic. Big enough that spanking it was a real pleasure. I started pistoning, driving into her pussy.

"Haaaang! Haang!"

Ram my cock in, affinity goes up. Felt good, and it was productive too. I came inside her twice more, then collapsed on top of her body. On a normal day I could have gone until morning with room to spare… but right now my stamina and virility were at ordinary human levels.

"Haah, hah…. Yujin. When the stress builds up again… can I come to you?"

"Of course. Your pussy is mine now, so I'll keep fucking it for you. That means no more murders, right?"

"Mm. As long as I have you, Yujin, I don't need to kill anyone."

Yu Semi leaned in and kissed me. I enjoyed the kiss while fondling her full breasts.

I opened my eyes on the motel bed. Yu Semi was asleep beside me, arms wrapped around my body. I left her sleeping and sat up. Another school day.

God, what a pain.

I looked down. My cock was standing at full attention. I slid between Yu Semi's sleeping legs and pushed into the pussy still full of my cum.

"Heuut… Yujin…."

Yu Semi slowly opened her eyes, moaning.

From the first light of morning, the two of us ground our bodies together and poured out hot sweat.

Diligent as ever, Yu Semi put on her uniform and left when it was time for school. She used Ghost Qi to scrub the blood clean off her clothes. Being possessed by a Dokkaebi, she wielded Ghost Qi almost like magic.

I lay back on the bed. Using fatigue as an excuse, I planned to skip school today.

All that's left is conquering Seol Jiyoung. She doesn't seem to have changed completely from the original… so it should be easy enough.

I watched TV until I drifted off.

A chill brushed my skin. My sleeping consciousness snapped awake.

"Hah!"

I slowly opened my eyes — and nearly jumped out of my skin. Seol Jiyoung was standing right in front of me, perfectly still. Blue-tinged white hair, a deathly pale face. Standing there motionless, she might as well ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠have been a ghost herself.

"Hello, Yujin. Did you sleep well?"

"Senior? What are you doing here?"

"You never contacted me after that day. I was so hurt I came looking for you."

"…How did you even know I was here?"

"I have my ways."

I glanced around. The traces of a man and woman rolling around were still everywhere. And I was completely naked. I'd been feeling her gaze locked on my crotch for a while now.

"Senior. This is—"

"It's fine. I understand. I can accept you rolling around with other women. That's how much I love you. But… I can't accept a version ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠of you that doesn't love me."

"What? Ghk—?!"

My hands and feet started freezing solid. I thrashed in panic, but the ice locking my limbs wouldn't break free. It climbed higher, trying to freeze my torso and head.

"That ice will never melt as long as I'm alive. So… we can be together forever."

"You're going to lock me inside this ice?!"

Seol Jiyoung smiled gently and pulled me into an embrace.

"It's okay. I'm a snow woman. I'm not cold. I can hold you like this."

"No, that's not what I— ah, damn it…."

My chest froze over. Breathing was the least of my problems — my brain was freezing too, and my thoughts wouldn't connect.

The available starting points were the beginning and three checkpoints.

From the start. Day 2. Day 3. Day 4.

Starting over from the beginning would wipe all the checkpoints, so I chose Day 4.

It's not so far gone that I need to restart from scratch.

I opened my eyes to the notification window.

I was lying on the motel bed, Yu Semi asleep with her arms around me.

Confirming my morning erection, I first buried my cock in Yu Semi's pussy. A cock's proper place is inside a cunt.

"Heuut, Yujin…."

Yu Semi moaned and woke up.

After our morning sex, we went to school together. She headed for her classroom; I went looking for Seol Jiyoung. I collected her from her seat and took her up to the rooftop.

"Senior. Your complexion looks good."

"Hm? Does it?"

"Yes."

A choice menu appeared. For once, every option looked decent.

I stepped in and kissed Seol Jiyoung. Her eyes went wide. Then a wave of cold poured from her mouth and froze my body solid.

Apparently I'd been too hasty. My Ghost Qi Degree still wasn't low enough to withstand her kiss.

Wrong choice again. Who knew just hugging her would do that.

I held her hand and froze to death. Something was wrong. Very, very wrong.

Only one choice left.

"Senior. I love you. You love me too, right? Let's grow our love together. We can do this."

"I love you too. Let's… be together forever."

Seol Jiyoung opened her arms to embrace me. Feeling the cold, I scrambled backward. Seol Jiyoung looked deeply hurt.

"Yujin, what's wrong? Are you avoiding me now? You just said you loved me."

"No — just now. Senior. You tried to freeze me."

"……Was it that obvious?"

A chill ran down my spine.

"…After it happens a few times, you start to notice."

"I have no idea what you mean. Is it because you're an exorcist…?"

Seol Jiyoung strode toward me. The air around her froze solid. The cold sank and settled; the floor turned slick as an ice rink. By the time I tried to run, it was already too late. My feet had frozen to the ground and wouldn't move.

"…Jiyoung-senior. Why are you doing this? At least tell me why before I die."

"I'm not killing you. You and I are going to be together forever."

"So why?"

"Unnie told me to do it this way. She said men can't be trusted…. I didn't want to believe her…. But you did exactly what she said, Yujin — you went around with other girls and only came looking for me afterward. So I've decided to do things Unnie's way."

"……Unnie?"

As far as I knew, Seol Jiyoung was an only child. She had no sisters.

Don't tell me the "unnie" Seol Jiyoung is talking about is…

I stared at Seol Jiyoung with my eyes wide open. More precisely, at the space behind her. A blue-skinned female ghost in a kimono was looking at me and ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠laughing.

I understood exactly what was going on.

Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me.
