Chapter Title: Radiant Ascension Path
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It had been ages since I'd entered the Radiant Ascension Path world.
This was a world where my interest had plummeted after acquiring the 'Radiant Ascension Path' skill that I'd come for last time. To be more precise, it was a world that was tough to handle on my terms.
The world's vastness is great and all, but there are just way too many powerhouses.
Hudan City's Meteor Sword Sect.
The place I belonged to.
The sect founder and sect leader, Sung Go-dan, was my father in this world. But don't think of it as a normal parent-child relationship from the real world. Sung Go-dan, with his seventeen wives and concubines, was the type who figured he could just make more kids if one died.
He acted all righteous and heroic on the outside, but his mindset was no different from some demonic sect overlord.
In this Meteor Sword Sect alone, there are at least thirty guys stronger than me. And the Meteor Sword Sect is just a prominent local sect at best.
I trudged along toward the annex residence.
The Meteor Sword Sect was so sprawling it put real-world universities to shame. Including the sect members and the servants handling the chores, there were over three thousand people in total.
The sad part is there aren't many beauties among them.
I stepped into the annex. A maid was waiting inside, and she started trembling at the sight of me. She'd been raped by me before. She wasn't exactly my type, but she had above-average looks.
I groped her breasts as I asked,
"Is Third Mother inside?"
"Y-yes. Yes, she's... she's talking with Young Master Sung Ji-gon right now."
"Talking with her body, you mean. Make sure no one comes in."
I brushed past her and entered the bedroom.
The moment I opened the door, a musky scent of man and woman hit me. But it wasn't a pleasant smell.
On the bed, Sung Ji-gon was panting and thrusting his hips.
"Haah! Ji-gon! That's it! Pound me harder!"
"Yes! Here it comes, Third Mother!"
The woman pinned beneath Sung Ji-gon was Sung Go-dan's third wife. After the second wife died decades ago, she held the most influence. The first wife, Sung Ji-gon's mother, had a shady background.
The third wife was over ninety this year. She was the oldest among them.
Using spirit elixirs, she'd maintained an appearance that could pass for her fifties at least. She must have been a beauty in her youth, but she wasn't my type at all now. Those sagging tits and dark nipples could deflate even a raging hard-on.
Sung Ji-gon, on the other hand, was extremely aroused. The guy had a weird fetish for older women over young ones. He'd fuck any aged hag, ugly or not.
No matter how I look at it, that bastard's insane.
I walked into the bedroom and sat in a chair. They noticed me amid their sex-fest.
"Y-Yu-jin, you're here."
"Oh, Yu-jin. Wait a sec."
This thing with An Bak-ryeo, the third wife, had started two weeks ago.
Among the wives, An Bak-ryeo wielded the most power, yet her husband Sung Go-dan had been ignoring her. Simple reason: she was old.
Sung Go-dan, with normal tastes, preferred young, pretty wives and concubines. Maybe after years of neglect, when Sung Ji-gon raped her, she actually liked it.
Well, from An Bak-ryeo's perspective, getting mounted by a vigorous young stud... of course she'd love it.
Thanks to An Bak-ryeo falling for Sung Ji-gon easier than expected, things smoothed out.
Even when I raped a maid, An Bak-ryeo didn't complain. She even scolded the maid to treat me well. She'd sniffed out that I outranked Sung Ji-gon. Her decades in the sect weren't for nothing.
"Hngh! So tight! Third Mother!"
"Yes! Cum inside me! No need to worry about pregnancy anyway!"
An Bak-ryeo's legs locked tight around Sung Ji-gon's waist. It was hard to tell if he was fucking an old lady or she was devouring a young man.
Once the deed was done, they threw on some clothes.
"Yu-jin. What brings you here?"
"I came after hearing the rumors circulating in the sect."
"Rumors...? Oh, you mean the one about allying with the Jikga Escort Agency?"
"Yes. Is it true?"
"It is. A messenger pigeon came and went not long ago. Guests from the Jikga Escort Agency will arrive soon."
I already knew the rumors were true. The Jikga Escort Agency appeared in the original story too.
"So, the sect is really partnering with the Jikga Escort Agency?"
"Unless something comes up, yes. It's all profit, no loss."
No loss. Mutual benefit.
The Meteor Sword Sect provides escorts and makes money. An active escort agency brings more visitors from outside. For the Jikga Escort Agency, it expands influence in Hudan City.
Assuming pure intentions.
"If the agency really partners with us and signs a contract, they'll do a trial run first."
"Do they need a trial? The Meteor Sword Sect's strength is proven."
"They'll want certainty from their side. They might skip it, of course. But if they do it... Third Mother, would you recommend me and Ji-gon to Father?"
The difference between Sung Go-dan's wives and concubines was background. Strong family backing made you a wife; otherwise, concubine. An Bak-ryeo's clan was one even Sung Go-dan couldn't ignore, and her influence in the sect was substantial.
"That's no big deal... But do you two want to be escorts? You don't need to stoop to that."
"No plans to be escorts. We haven't even left the mountains. Stuck here in our prime, it's suffocating. A trial run would satisfy us."
"...Fine. If there's a trial, I'll recommend you. Satisfied?"
"Yes. Thank you. We'll take our leave."
I dragged Sung Ji-gon out of the annex.
We'd been meeting An Bak-ryeo often lately, but no one questioned or stopped us. Partly her power, but mostly no one imagined she'd fool around with us. We weren't blood-related, but we were family.
Sung Ji-gon and I entered a building on the sect's outskirts, now used as a warehouse. One of our frequent hideouts.
"Yu-jin. Do we really have to do this trial run? Need to leave the sect?"
Sung Ji-gon and I lived satisfyingly in the Meteor Sword Sect.
We'd bully and rape maids daily, then hit the city in masks on weekends to do the same. Fulfilling days.
"Hey, don't you have any ambition?"
"Ambition? Well, I dreamed of being a wandering hero once... But I'm content now."
"Just fucking old hags?"
"Fruit's best when fully ripened."
"Fair. But what you eat is overripe rot."
"Yu-jin, we agreed to respect tastes. Why the sudden attack?"
"'Cause you're frustrating. Think big. The world's huge. You couldn't tour it all in a lifetime. More world, more people. Outside, girls who make your dick hard just by looking. You gonna rot here and miss them?"
"W-well, when you put it that way... There must be pretty girls outside Hudan City too?"
"Hudan City's a backwater. We're frogs in a well."
Sung Ji-gon's face went blank. Obvious what he was thinking. Girls.
"But isn't it dangerous out there?"
"That's why we build strength. Sung Ji-gon, what's the jianghu?"
"The jianghu... where the strong are revered."
"Wrong. It's a world where might makes right. With power, you get women, anything!"
"That's not what I heard."
"So you don't trust me?"
"No. You've never been wrong. And I'm training hard daily."
"Everyone trains. Geniuses out there train better, with elixirs and arts. Ordinary won't beat them."
"...Then what? No way."
"There is. They're not immortals. Poison, curses work. And fortunes exist. Find a real one, power surge."
"Yu-jin, fortunes are fated."
"Heh, that's for others. Having a bro like me is your fortune."
"Say it right. I'm the older bro, born three months earlier. When you gonna claim Fourth Mother?"
Sung Go-dan's fourth wife, Bi Seong-ae. Fifty-four this year.
Sung Ji-gon declared her his exclusive.
Honestly, I couldn't understand. As sect leader's wife, decent looks, but not worth claiming.
"What's so great about her?"
"Fourth Mother's heart is beautiful."
"My bro a bastard? Bullshit."
"Ten years ago. Mom was strict, you know?"
Sung Ji-gon's mom was harsh. First wife thing, or nature? Unknown.
"Got chewed out, ran crying to annex, Fourth Mother comforted me. Still vivid. Sigh. Her scent then..."
"Yeah? But I hear she's not that nice. Mistake?"
"No. She's great. Talk to her, you'll see."
"And you'll fuck a great woman?"
"'Cause she's great, I wanna make her feel good. My body craves her."
"Heh, psycho. Careful, don't rush Fourth Mother."
"Why? Like Third?"
"Third was lonely, starved. Power without inner strength. Fourth's different. Outward soft, inward steel. Rush her, you're fucked."
"Then how?"
"Grab her weakness."
"Does Fourth have one?"
"None? Make one. It'll appear soon. Heh."
Claim third and fourth wives, things cascade. Others fear their power.
First wife, Sung Ji-gon's mom? Scenario ready. It'll work.
"Young Masters. Brought snacks."
A young woman's voice from outside.
"Come in."
I said.
The door opened, and a mid-twenties maid entered. Top-tier among maids. Married five years.
"Been waiting. Come here."
I beckoned. She set snacks on table, approached, deftly pulled down my pants, and started sucking my cock. Mediocre blowjob for a married woman.
Sung Ji-gon munched snacks beside me and asked,
"Yu-jin. Will Jikga really do the trial?"
"They will. Mapping local routes. Prep to leave."
I tapped her shoulder. Catching on, she stood, stripped. I laid her on bed and thrust.
"Haah. Ah, Young Master...! Aaang!"
Three weeks later, the Jikga Escort Agency's leader visited the Meteor Sword Sect. They talked with the elders and decided on the trial run. Escorts from Jikga and warriors from the sect would go together.
Naturally, Sung Ji-gon and I were selected for this trial.
