“Hah! Hah, heok!”
I was panting for breath.
For nearly ten hours straight without a wink of sleep, I'd been jerking off nonstop. I couldn't even remember how many times I'd cum anymore.
The Trial of Lust was ruthless.
Every time I fucked one beauty, another would appear to tempt me—one with a completely different vibe each time. They were dead set on wringing me dry until my balls were empty.
But was my stamina ordinary? No way. My dick, tempered by countless beauties, was still going strong, refusing to die.
'Who would've thought my stamina would outlast my cum reserves!'
My current physical abilities were way below my real-world specs. My mouth tasted foul, and even twitching a finger felt like a chore.
Luckily, when I just lay there doing nothing, the beauties would climb on top of me themselves, licking my chest and neck, caressing me all over.
'Now that's a Trial of Lust. A blissful one, at that.'
But it wasn't as satisfying as I'd hoped. At first, I loved it, but as time dragged on, something felt missing.
'Maybe because they're fake and can't get knocked up?'
In a way, I was just humping the air. Still better than solo, though.
'Can't stay here forever like this. Este's waiting, and... one last time. No, make it two, then I'm out!'
After busting four more loads, I dragged my exhausted body up. Shaking off the beauties clinging to me, I headed outside.
“Yu-jin! Stay a little longer with us...! Just a bit more fun!”
“Yu-jin. Take a look at my special place! It doesn't look weird, right?”
“Tell me if there's any play you want. I'll do anything!”
I ignored the beauties' pleas, grabbed my clothes from the floor, and got dressed before stepping out.
No matter how stunning they were, they were fake. They couldn't bear my child, and their appeal was one-dimensional at best.
'If I want a harem of beauties, I've got the maids from the Baekhwan world. Fucking them is way more satisfying.'
The moment I exited the cave, the beauties vanished without a trace.
'Overcame it, huh... Heh. Is this what conquering lust looks like?'
I smirked. I shouldn't read too much into the alert window popping up in front of me. It was just a message for meeting the conditions, nothing more.
“Yu-jin. You've come out.”
“Ah. It was pretty rough. How'd you fare?”
“Even if I did it again, it'd still be the easiest trial.”
“Had a bunch of naked dudes come at you, huh? Adults? Kids?”
“Pardon? Men?”
“......What was in the cave?”
“Nothing. I just went in and came back out, and I'd passed the Trial of Lust.”
The difference between us was her age. Physically and mentally, she had no room for lust. Not like me—I'd surpassed adult male stamina long ago.
“Do you know about sex?”
“Yes. Sexual intercourse between men and women.”
She seemed to have the knowledge. Answering so casually, she probably didn't even find it embarrassing.
“Ever masturbated?”
“Masturbate...? What's that?”
“Got it. You passed the Trial of Lust so easily because you don't know sexual pleasure.”
“Yes. I think so too.”
“Fair enough. With that body, feeling sexual pleasure would be impossible anyway. But as the Second Apostle and future Saintess of the Gumok Church, you can't stay ignorant of it. I'll let you experience the pleasure of sex indirectly.”
“Indirectly...? Is that possible?”
“This makes it possible.”
“A bracelet?”
I gave her the black bracelet and had her put it on.
Emotion Connect.
Thud.
The moment Este put on the bracelet, her mouth fell open, and she collapsed to the ground.
Now she'd feel the emotions and pleasure I experienced too.
“I'll head back into the cave, so wait here quietly. I don't want to redo the Trial of Lust, but... I'll suffer through it once for your sake.”
“A-Ah... Th-Thank you.”
“What's wrong? You hurt?”
“It's just... my body's weirdly hot...”
Este trembled, her face flushing from the unfamiliar sensation. Even her golden eyelashes, like her hair, quivered.
“That's lust. Don't get too carried away.”
I slipped back into the cave.
Sure enough, the seductresses appeared. No hesitation this time. I stripped completely and dropped my clothes on the floor.
'Complete Recovery.'
My fatigue melted away. My heavy body felt light, like after a deep sleep. My dick stood at full mast.
'Not planning a marathon this time... just three hours.'
???
I stepped out after exactly three hours—the duration of Emotion Connect's effect.
I could've stayed longer for more sex, but I was curious about Este's reaction.
“Oh.”
A gasp escaped me the moment I saw Este.
“Ugh... Ahh...”
Este had collapsed on the ground. Her clothes were still on, but her priestess robes were disheveled. Her face was flushed, slick with cold sweat, and she was heaving for breath.
I glanced at her lower body. A puddle had formed on the ground. Faint urine stench hung in the air.
“The Saintess who pissed herself!”
“Ugh... D-Don't give me weird nicknames. I'm not a saintess. It was just... the stimulation was too intense, I couldn't help it...”
Este peeing herself wasn't strange. I'd cum about twenty times in the cave, focusing solely on busting nuts so she could feel the pleasure indirectly.
For an innocent future saintess, that was overwhelming. She deserved praise just for not passing out.
'Considering the special dungeon's nature, passing out might've been impossible anyway.'
I approached Este closely.
“J-Just... give me a moment...”
“I'm beat too, so I'll wait. So, how was the lust you felt through me?”
“It was incredible... I had no idea such intense emotions existed. How are you so unfazed, Yu-jin?”
“I'm the Ninth Apostle.”
“As expected. You're amazing, Yu-jin.”
Este looked impressed. Her stiff speech had softened a bit. I could hear respect in her voice. I checked her favorability.
At 30 favorability, she was starting to take an interest in me.
A few hours ago, it had been only 12. The rise was unnaturally fast. I stared at Este intently.
“......? What's wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Because of the pleasure? I'd thought it might lower her favorability, but the opposite happened—like stumbling on cash during a walk.
“Oh, and when you came out of the cave, I felt you'd passed the Trial of Lust.”
“...Because our emotions are linked.”
Maybe her favorability rose from sharing my emotions too.
'If I keep sharing my emotions with Este, I can more reliably alter the original story's future.'
Emotion Connect had one use left.
'Three hours is too short. I could buy more from the shop, but it's 2,000 points.'
There was another way.
I briefly returned to reality and used Radiant Ascension to enhance Emotion Connect. Took about 80 hours.
To see the full specs, I'd need the Random Gacha shop menu. But it didn't show enhancement details there.
Meaning the exact improvements were still unknown.
'Probably better effects or longer duration.'
Enhancing items with Radiant Ascension always boosted them somehow. Side effects could increase if the boost was too much, but usually, they toned down negatives.
'Emotion Connect has no real side effects anyway.'
I fiddled with the black bracelet in my palm, waiting for Este to recover.
“Um... Yu-jin.”
“Yeah?”
“Can I ask about you? I'm curious what kind of person you are. Your words and actions... you're not like others your age. Are you like me, with... special eyes...?”
Her favorability was at the 'interested' stage.
“I'm the Ninth Apostle. Having special eyes is a given. But compared to yours, my Spirit Eyes are nothing. It's embarrassing to even compare.”
“Spirit Eyes... you must be loved by spirits. I'm jealous. I've heard they're adorable.”
“Spirits aren't what you think. Even low-grade ones can easily kill humans.”
“I see. I'll keep that in mind. But... Spirit Eyes don't...”
“Don't explain my situation, right?”
“Yes. I thought you had eyes like the Church Leader's or mine.”
“......”
I paused, considering. Should I tell her?
Este was destined to become a stunning beauty in the future—one notoriously hard to conquer. Building a connection now would make things easier later.
“Can you keep a secret? Even if the Church Leader asks, can you stay silent?”
“......I swear. I won't tell the Church Leader either.”
“This is my second time.”
“Pardon? You mean... you possessed another body? I've heard the Church Leader has such magic.”
“Why ask me? Can't your eyes see it?”
Este's pink lips pressed tight, then parted after a long moment.
“...Yu-jin. I don't like these eyes. If you saw them, you wouldn't like you either. Especially since you know what my eyes are.”
“Is the Second Apostle of the Nine-Eyed God afraid to use her eyes? Este, don't forget you're the Second Apostle of the Gumok Church. Use them without hesitation when needed. And I want to see your eyes.”
“......I'm still just an apostle candidate.”
“Same here. But you know it's only a matter of time.”
“Normally, I wouldn't... but right now, I'm too curious about you. Just for a second. I'll open them briefly.”
“Go ahead.”
Este's eyebrows quivered. Her hesitation lingered. I watched her calmly.
Her eyelids lifted, revealing mystical irises.
Not a single color like mine, but vibrant hues that shifted slowly, glowing like a universe in her eyes.
'More like auroras than a rainbow.'
Este's brow furrowed slightly.
“I can't tell. Too many possibilities. So many that... I can't figure you out. This has never happened before.”
“How about this?”
I showed her my smartphone. Her eyes should recognize it instantly as a future device.
But Este tilted her head.
“This too... I can't see it. It's right there, but it feels like it doesn't exist...”
“This?”
I pulled a Mana Cube from my inventory.
“The black box is like a sub-space pouch. Hmm... Uh...?”
Este blinked rapidly at the Mana Cube.
“Wha—huh...?”
“What's wrong? You don't know what this is either?”
“I know it's a Mana Cube. But it shouldn't be here... Huh? It's real, but it feels fake. Weird. Why... this belongs in the future... Ah!”
Este looked at me in shock.
“Yu-jin, you're from the future!”
“Yeah, pretty much. Keep it secret—no telling anyone.”
“Yes!”
Este closed her eyes. Her face lit up with excitement from meeting someone from the future.
“Yu-jin. What happens to me in the future? Do I become a great Second Apostle leading the Gumok Church followers? Is the Church Leader still healthy?”
“No idea.”
“...Pardon?”
“It's all the past to me. With me as a variable, I can't predict the future. Someone who lives might die, or vice versa.”
“......Future me must've disappointed you and the Church Leader.”
Este smiled wistfully.
