Chapter 419: Human World [R-18] (57)
After we finished, I used Clean to completely erase all traces of our lovemaking from our bodies.
Im Hye-rin spoke with Jo Han-su for a moment before returning.
“Haa… What a pain. I should just hurry up and get a divorce.”
“Oh? Are you really thinking of divorcing him?”
“Yeah. I was only putting up with him for Hwa-yeon’s sake, but now… even she knows that bastard is cheating.”
“That’s a shame. Thanks to the spice your father-in-law added, the sex was twice as thrilling.”
“You’re terrible.”
She let out a laugh, as if in disbelief.
“Hey, it wasn’t just me, was it? You seemed to enjoy it more, Mother-in-law.”
“…Well, I’ll admit that.”
Im Hye-rin turned her head, the corners of her lips twitching upward.
“Anyway, why did you want to see me today? I doubt you came just for sex.”
“That was a bonus.”
I continued with a smile.
“I was hoping you could get me a warehouse and a few supplies.”
She leaned back deep into her chair and crossed her arms. Her gaze had suddenly turned serious.
“How big?”
“A medium-sized building will be enough.”
“That’s not too difficult. But what are you planning to do with it?”
“It’s a secret.”
“Even from me?”
“Yes. For now.”
“Tsk. Fine. I’ll pick one out and hand it over within a week. Send me the list of supplies you need in a separate message.”
“You’re the best, Mother-in-law. I love you.”
“Oh my, after all the times we’ve fucked… is this the first time you’ve said you love me?”
Im Hye-rin raised an eyebrow, glaring at me playfully.
“Haha… Better late than never, right?”
“You’re really… Hehe.”
She shook her head slightly and chuckled.
“Ah, speaking of which. Did you hear?”
“Hear what?”
“An ability user from China openly challenged you to a duel. It’s been causing a huge stir since this morning.”
“A duel?”
“Yes. An S-Class ability user named Ryu Ja-ho. He’s quite famous in China. And the video of his challenge is going viral on social media right now. Want to see?”
Im Hye-rin operated her tablet and handed it to me. On the screen, an East Asian man in a black martial arts uniform, his black hair tied back, was staring coldly at the camera. Atop a cliff where a red flag whipped in the wind, his shout echoed.
[Jin Seo-yun. The power you displayed in England was nothing more than a fabricated illusion.]
[The ‘Pure White Flame’ is the True Flame that symbolizes the Witch of Dreadfire. You are a fake who is merely using her power.]
[If your power is real, then accept the challenge of Ryu Ja-ho, the Cheonma, the World’s Best.]
[One week from now. I will be waiting at Cheonbongdae, in the Baeknan Ability User Zone.]
The screen slowly faded to black and white along with the red flag, and the video ended.
I scoffed lightly.
“He’s a lunatic.”
“He’s no ordinary guy. He might look like some hot-blooded kid with a hero complex, but his skills are the real deal. He’s actually called the Cheonma in China. He was probably provoked after seeing your combat footage.”
“…Hmm, Cheonma.”
“He’s a psycho with a hero complex… so don’t you dare fight him.”
Im Hye-rin’s voice was serious.
“The moment you set foot in China, you have no idea what kind of trap you might fall into. A duel challenge? A battle of honor? It’s all just a pretext. Those bastards always play dirty. You’re threatening enough just by existing. Don’t get caught up in their games.”
“I don’t really plan on dealing with him, either.”
That’s what I said, but…
A few days later, the situation began to unfold in a completely different direction.
The eyes of the world started to focus on the showdown between the ‘Cheonma of China’ and me, the man now being called the ‘Rising S-Class Powerhouse, the Sex King.’
News outlets, online communities, and social media were abuzz with the duel, churning out countless memes and images. The situation escalated even further when a video of me having an orgy with several women on my last day in Belfast was leaked.
“Puhahahaha! On one side, the super-cool Cheonma, and on the other, the Sex King?! Puhahahaha!”
Bi-yeon was rolling on the bed, clutching her stomach with laughter. Seeing her, a vein throbbed in my temple. I clenched my fist and brought it down next to her head.
“Ack—! My head! My head’s gonna break! I’m gonna die!”
“Then just die.”
Seriously, this was the first time I’d ever been this pissed off. Of all the many abilities I possessed, the nickname that stuck was… Sex King?
“Kyahaha! I saw someone on the internet call you ‘The Incarnate Sperm Artilleryman’ too.”
“…Are you serious?”
“I’m telling you, it’s true! Oh, and there was also the nickname ‘Semen-Filled Groin Bombardment’~ Pfft.”
“……”
As I stared at her in silence, Bi-yeon finally stopped laughing. But the corners of her mouth were still twitching uncontrollably.
“If you don’t shut up right now, I’ll launch a sperm bombardment into your fucking cunt.”
“Heek! My apologies, Lord Sex King!”
“Haa…”
Sighing, I looked at the tablet again. The real-time news headline was written in huge letters.
【‘Cheonma VS Sex King’ A Fateful Duel! The World’s Eyes on the Baeknan Ability User Zone】
【Korean S-Class Ability User Jin Seo-yun, What is His True Identity?】
【“If Sex is a Weapon, He is a Nuclear Weapon” – Matsuda Ken】
【China’s Cheonma, Ryu Ja-ho, Announces Duel: “If He is Real, Let Him Prove it Before Me”】
I closed the tablet and muttered.
“…I guess I can’t expect to be treated like a normal person anywhere I go now.”
“Keuk, ah, this is killing me. Anyway, what are you going to do? If you run, you’re going to be mocked relentlessly.”
Bi-yeon wiped away tears as she giggled again. I closed my eyes for a moment, lost in thought.
There was no reason to run. In fact, if I didn’t crush this guy, I’d be followed by ridicule for the rest of my life.
“I’ll kill the bastard who mocked me.”
“Puhehe, that’s our Lord Sex King! So fiery~!”
A vein throbbed at my temple at Bi-yeon’s sarcastic laughter, but I forced myself to ignore it. Reacting would only make her cling to it even more.
Cheonma, the World’s Best? I’ll make it so you can’t even show your face in public again.

The news that I had accepted the duel spread across the globe in a single day.
The number one real-time search keyword on major portal sites in Europe, North America, and Asia was the same.
【#Cheonma_SexKing】
【#Baeknan_Ability_User_Zone】
【#RyuJaHo_JinSeoYun】
【#Duel_ComingSoon】
【#SClass_SexKing】
Not only were there expert panel discussions, but drama chasers and armchair experts on social media also erupted. On one broadcast, the news anchor couldn’t hold back a smirk at the end of every sentence, while the morning news anchor recited the words ‘Sex King’ three times with a dead-serious expression.
“This duel is more than a mere battle for personal honor; it is a contest with the representation of both Korea’s and China’s S-Class ability user systems on the line. In particular, the Korean representative, Jin Seo-yun, is known by the moniker… Sex, Sex King.”
“Ahem, a correction. This is merely a popular term within online communities and is not his official title.”
The betting sites were even more ridiculous.
‘Sex King wins’ at 1.8 odds, ‘Cheonma wins’ at 2.3 odds, ‘Comeback victory via semen recharge during the duel’ at 3.4 odds, and ‘Runs away mid-duel to have sex’ at 12 odds.
[Odds Gallery] LMAO for real ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What is 'Comeback victory via semen recharge during the duel' ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[anon] The Chinese Cheonma has a wife, is NTR a serious possibility?
[anon] Jin Seo-yun’s dick is huge, she’d probably be hooked after one taste.
“…Should I seriously just kill them all?”
I sat on the edge of the bed and put down my smartphone.
“It’s fine, that nickname probably won’t last long anyway.”
Bi-yeon laughed from the sofa, dropping cookie crumbs everywhere.
“Why?”
“Because you’ll get a new nickname after the duel. For example…”
“For example?”
“…Something like Heavenly Demon True Void Slash Beef Noodle Soup?”
“…What the hell is that.”
“It’s a skill name~ I picked it up watching a Chinese drama.”
Ever since I got her a smartphone, she’d been glued to online communities all day… and now even her speech was getting weird.
I sighed and clutched my head with a trembling hand.
…I will defeat him. Perfectly. Overwhelmingly.
I couldn’t lose.
I couldn’t even draw.
If it ended ambiguously, from that day on—
[anon] Sex King lost due to semen depletion lol
…a stupid joke like that might follow me for the rest of my life.

I had rented out the entire master-exclusive training ground of the Halcyon Guild and was quietly meditating in the training space inside.
As I controlled my breathing in the silence, I replayed Ryu Ja-ho’s combat footage in my mind over and over.
A physical type… and also a curse type?
The man was famous for fighting with a black aura wreathed around his sword. At first glance, it looked like sword force, but it was by no means pure Qi.
Hmm, based on appearances, it seems to be a curse-type ability…
I recalled the state of Ryu Ja-ho’s opponents.
The moment they were touched by the black aura, their bodies would grow heavy and their reactions would slow by a beat. This pattern repeated itself.
There wasn’t much combat footage, so a precise analysis was difficult, but one thing was certain. The man was a dual ability user.
It was then.
“Seo-yun.”
Hearing a low, familiar voice, I opened my eyes to see Im Hwa-yeon leaning over and looking down at me.
“I thought you were busy with a mission. It’s been a while.”
“Ha, don’t even ask. I thought I was going to die from overwork.”
I rolled my shoulders once to loosen up. She turned her head and pointed at Bi-yeon, who was sleeping soundly on her stomach on the floor.
“By the way… who in the world is that woman?”
“My spirit.”
“So she’s the spirit Mom was talking about?”
Bi-yeon had decided that hiding her form was too much of a hassle and had started to appear openly. For now, she only showed herself to the women in my life, but I didn’t know how long that would last.
“Wow… A real spirit, like something out of a story. I heard that ability users who can handle spirits are incredibly rare.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. It’s such a rare ability. I’ve never seen or heard of one in person, only read about them in records. But…”
She tilted her head and looked down at the floor.
“She’s a little different from the spirits I’ve read about in books.”
“She’s not an ordinary spirit.”
She cautiously crouched in front of Bi-yeon and gently poked her cheek with her soft fingertips.
“Hey, stop sleeping and wake up.”
“Hmnya… buffalo wings… mmm…”
Bi-yeon squirmed, her lips twitching. Seeing her fingers grasp at the air, it seemed she was dreaming of eating chicken again.
Im Hwa-yeon chuckled and looked back at me.
“Is she really a spirit?”
“She might… seem a little strange, but she’s a spirit.”
At my words, Im Hwa-yeon glanced at Bi-yeon once more with a skeptical look before losing interest and turning her gaze back to me.
“Anyway. That nickname… what is that, Sex King? You’re really something else.”
“Ugh… could you not call me that? It stresses me out every time I hear it.”
“Well, if you don’t like it, maybe you should stop fucking around so much. Seriously, do I have to watch a video of some woman on a talk show talking about sleeping with you?”
“…That… wasn’t my fault.”
“Not your fault? Hearing her talk about what your semen tastes like was… truly unbelievable.”
“……”
Seeing my flustered expression, Im Hwa-yeon let out a chuckle, then suddenly averted her gaze and trailed off.
“Just settle down. Messing with this woman and that woman is one thing, but… you’re famous now, people are watching… so you should probably just… m-marry… me…”
“Who gave you permission to marry Seo-yun, Hwa-yeon?”
At the entrance, Im Hye-rin stood leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed, glaring.
“Hmph. You’re a married woman, Mom. Don’t tell me you’re planning to divorce and remarry? Then, of course, I’m the one who should marry Seo-yun.”
“Haa… this girl, really…”
As Im Hye-rin strode forward, Im Hwa-yeon didn’t back down. Their two pairs of voluptuous chests pressed together.
…I sensed trouble. Making a quick decision, I concealed my presence and quietly escaped through the back door of the training ground.
As I fled, I glanced back to see Bi-yeon still spread-eagled on the floor between the two women, snoring away.
