"Payment complete. These gauntlets are yours now."
Ropu handed me the Demon-Subduing Gauntlets.
Anti-demon power refers to the strength that counters evil and demons. Note that it doesn't apply to the user themselves. It's similar to holy power but a different concept.
"Well then."
I turned to leave the special shop immediately. My goal was this anti-demon power.
These gauntlets would be the weapon I'd use while operating as the Heavenly Demon, not Sung Yu-jin.
I had no intention of using a sword as the Heavenly Demon. If I did, someone who recognized my swordsmanship might figure out my identity.
"Hold on a moment. I know you still have over 200,000 AP left."
"You saw my balance too?"
"It's not like I peeked on purpose. It just came up naturally during the transaction."
I furrowed my brow. I knew it, but it still didn't sit well with me.
"...What do you want? I only have 200,000 AP left. I can't afford anything expensive, and the cheaper stuff doesn't interest me."
"Do you like gacha pulls? Random draws."
"Gacha?"
I recalled seeing in the setting documents that some special shops offered random gacha pulls.
"From the look on your face, you're interested. Our shop has Platinum Random Boxes. They cost 100,000 AP per pull. If you're lucky, you could get something worth ten million AP. What do you say? Want to give it a shot?"
It was tempting.
Who am I? The guy who pulled the cheat skill Complete Recovery from the Playful Life app's gacha.
'Plus, my Luck stat in this world is pretty high.'
Confidence in hitting the jackpot surged within me.
"...100,000 AP per pull?"
"That's right. Just once. Pay a million AP and you can pull twice... but you only have 200,000, right?"
"......Hmm. Still, 100,000 per pull is too steep."
"Think of it this way: the fact that one pull costs 100,000 AP means there are some incredible items in there."
After deep consideration, I made my decision.
"Alright. I'll do one pull!"
AP can be earned again. But this gacha might be my last chance. There's no guarantee I'll return to Ropu's special shop. In the original story, it doesn't appear again after this.
I extended my hand to him.
"Hm. 100,000 AP. Payment complete."
"Where's the box..."
I couldn't finish as a window popped up in front of me.
A platinum-colored box sparkling in the alert window.
'The system wouldn't scam me. I can trust the system.'
I declared solemnly.
"Open!"
The box burst open in a shower of brilliant light.
"What the fuck?"
"Tough luck."
"You didn't mention whiffs were possible!"
"You didn't ask."
"Son of a... "
My clenched fist trembled. Maybe it was my imagination, but Ropu's voice seemed laced with amusement. One good punch to that head would be satisfying.
"Don't be too disappointed. You still have one more chance."
"...What if it's another whiff?"
Having been burned once, my head was clear now.
Right. Better to save AP for something solid instead of gambling on slim odds.
"Haa. Haa. Haa..."
My breaths came heavy. I wanted to leave, but I just glared at the system window.
"You. Your face looks dangerous. You must really love gacha."
Ropu stepped back a bit.
"I, uh, I do like pulling and inserting."
"You like wrapping too, right?"
"Spot on."
"Just go for it. Life has ups and downs. Bad after good, good after bad. Whiff this time means jackpot next, right?"
Nod nod nod nod.
I nodded rapidly. Ropu's words rang true.
"You're right. The whiff was just to shake off bad luck. My luck is insanely good, so this whiff must be the buildup for a big hit!"
"Exactly. So, will you do it?"
"Yes!"
I paid him another 100,000 AP.
"God. Buddha. Allah...! Please!"
I ignored the Thrones. They weren't important right now.
I started doing that dance I'd seen online once.
"...Why are you suddenly dancing?"
"Don't you know? It's the luck-boosting dance."
"I-is it?"
I danced it three times, then shouted.
"Open!"
The box burst open in a shower of brilliant light.
A blue hexagonal amulet appeared in the air. I snatched it and examined it closely. It fit perfectly in my palm.
"This is..."
Aegis Amulet? Not in the setting documents.
"Ooh! An Aegis Amulet! Was that dance really luck-boosting? Impressive."
Ropu said excitedly. Definitely a good item.
'Well, S-rank means it has to be.'
'No! Fine for the others, but the Lord of the Heavens and King of the Demonic Heavens are my contractors—they should be happy when I do well!'
Why do these bastards want me to fail?
As I seethed inwardly, Ropu asked.
"Aegis Amulets vary in value by rank. What's its rank?"
"S-rank."
"S-rank! You really hit the jackpot. If you sold it to me, I'd give you a million AP. Sell it, then open eleven more Platinum Random Boxes to get another Aegis Amulet, right?"
"......"
Tempting.
But Ropu seemed determined to fleece me. The amulet was likely worth more than a million AP.
"No thanks. My luck seems tapped out for today."
Ropu sighed, recognizing my resolve.
"I see."
"But how strong is this amulet? It blocks attacks, but..."
Ranks aren't everything.
Ranks factor in regression, power, and more.
Low rank doesn't mean low power. Some A-ranks are weaker than C-ranks.
"Special powers vary wildly, but against physical attacks, it could block something powerful enough to wipe out a village."
"W-whoa, that's insane."
"It is. Amazing item. You're lucky to have it."
I looked at the Aegis Amulet anew.
A thought flashed by. Could I use this to conquer the sector and take control?
'...No guarantee it'd work as planned.'
Still, it was tempting. Controlling the sector meant steady AP income.
"I'll be going now."
"Can't say 'see you later.' The world's too big."
"Yes. Take care."
"You too."
Leaving the special shop, I returned to the alley.
I spoke to the air.
"Thrones. I blew through most of my AP this time, so I'm a bit tight. Any chance of some sponsorship?"
Just 1,000 AP... I was gonna be polite, but no. King of the Demonic Heavens, you've lost your chance.
"No. Got something else to do."
The Lord of the Heavens probably thought the same when he came to this village.
Annoying, but unavoidable. It's a man's instinct.
???
I, the village chief of Nakil Village—the old man who greeted us upon arrival—made a proposal to him.
It wasn't anything special or grand.
I asked for one thing in exchange for food, clothes, daily necessities, and more.
The village was small and lacked many things. They hunted in the mountains or grew crops in nearby fields, but it wasn't enough for worry-free living.
A disaster or ruined harvest could spell crisis. Preparing for such was the chief's biggest worry.
The chief gladly accepted my proposal. When I gave him the food and goods, he wept with gratitude.
Now I sat on the bed in the small guest room at the chief's house, waiting for someone.
Creeeak.
The wooden door opened, and a woman entered. She had long black hair tied up in a bun, securing her snow-white skin. She wore flowing white garments that screamed luxury at a glance.
She stood out among the villagers when we arrived at Nakil Village.
She closed the door and stood there, glancing nervously at me. Her eyes trembled with anxiety.
I admired her figure. Her eyes drooped slightly at the corners. Her nose was straight, lips a pretty shade. No sharp angles on her face. C-cup breasts, well-shaped, with an artistic curve from waist to hips.
I nodded in satisfaction as I looked at her.
The Lord of the Heavens seemed to share my thoughts.
I said to the tense woman.
"Gotta take the clothes off to get down to business, right?"
"Y-yes... "
Swish. Swish. She began undressing. Her face looked ready to burst into tears.
"What's your name?"
"Sogi..."
Odd name, but whatever. This isn't the real world.
She started removing her panties—or undergarments. Her white legs were alluring.
Nude, her breasts sagged slightly. Pink nipples, thick black bush over her pussy.
I stripped too, fully erect already.
Sogi stared at my cock in shock.
"Bigger than your husband's?"
"I-it's too big. It won't fit inside me..."
"Don't worry. And you haven't done it with the chief, right?"
"I don't have that kind of relationship with Father-in-law!"
She was the chief's son's wife. His daughter-in-law.
"Does your husband know?"
"No. He doesn't. Please, don't tell him..."
"Just to check, you're not here against your will?"
Didn't matter if she was. That wasn't the point. My dick was ready.
"...No. For the village... I accepted."
A sacrifice for the village.
Unimaginable in the modern world.
"I'm not gonna kill you, so relax. I'll show you heaven."
I grinned and beckoned her. She bit her lower lip, steeled herself, and approached.
As I touched the pink pussy hidden in her coarse pubic hair, I thought.
She's perfect for doggy...
...Damn. Same thought as that bastard.
???
Three blissful hours.
I dressed and prepared to leave.
She lay on the bed, eyes closed, breathing ragged. Semen bubbled out from her pussy.
Click click.
I filmed a video, but couldn't skip the commemorative photo.
14 times.
The number of creampies inside her.
