Chapter 539: Eternal Spire[R-18] (58)
Having grown stronger at a rapid pace, Ryu Ja-ho once again gathered a crowd. News spread that he had named his next opponent. This time, however, the reaction was a little different than before. Not a single person in China held out any hope for him.
Still, a duel between S-Class ability users always drew public attention. And the title that preceded his name stirred up an even hotter debate.
—The Overlord’s Disciple.
“For my master’s honor…!”
Ryu Ja-ho was no longer the hope of China. He was nothing more than a lowly traitor, a shadow of the Overlord.
But he didn’t care. The public’s condemnation, their ridicule—it was all just noise to him now.
He wanted only one thing: to prove he possessed a ‘power’ worthy of his master’s acknowledgment.
Ryu Ja-ho raised his fist high and shouted.
“I wager my master’s honor!”
*
I was sitting on the sofa next to Bi-yeon, eating popcorn and watching the TV. On the screen, Ryu Ja-ho stood before a crowd of thousands, chest puffed out as he yelled.
[I wager my master’s honor!]
“Puhehehehe—!”
Bi-yeon clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she nearly rolled off the sofa. She ended up lying on the floor, pounding the ground as she howled.
“Ahahahat! Ugh, my hands and feet are curling up from the cringe!”
I shook my head and popped some more popcorn into my mouth.
“I told that bastard not to do weird shit in front of people…”
“Pfft… Maybe it’s not weird to him. I heard he even offered his wife to you, right? No one with a normal brain would ever do that. His is completely broken.”
I chewed my popcorn, my eyes fixed on the Ryu Ja-ho on the screen.
His opponent was now appearing. A Western man with blond hair, blue eyes, and a muscular build. His name was Victor Strauss. An S-Class ability user from Germany, he was one of the most formidable fighters in Europe.
[Victor Strauss! He has finally arrived!]
The announcer’s excited voice boomed.
[He flew here all the way from Germany for this duel and has repeatedly declared, “I’ll finish off the disciple of a fake Overlord with a single punch!”]
Victor glanced at Ryu Ja-ho and snorted.
“This is the famous Cheonma? How pathetic.”
An invisible force began to shimmer around him. The air distorted, creating the illusion of heat radiating from his body.
A psychokinetic. And a considerably powerful one at that.
Bi-yeon mumbled as she grabbed a handful of popcorn.
“Oh, he’s pretty strong. You think Ryu Ja-ho can win?”
“He should.”
“You sound sure.”
I nodded, watching Ryu Ja-ho on the screen.
Ryu Ja-ho’s skills had grown beyond my imagination. He hadn’t just learned martial arts; the effects of the Kerosene Oil had completely transformed his constitution.
He lacks natural talent, but his obsession with martial arts… that madness is what brought him this far. Thanks to that, his skills improved much faster than I expected.
And if the bastard had any talent… it was his curse ability.
[The duel begins!]
In that instant, Victor moved first. He extended a hand, and the surrounding metal structures all lifted into the air and flew toward Ryu Ja-ho.
Steel pipes, iron plates, even bolts. Dozens of metal fragments rained down like bullets.
But Ryu Ja-ho didn’t even flinch.
“I will show you the power of the Blood Demon Art—!”
A dark red energy began to condense in his fist. An intense killing intent, as if his very blood were boiling, overwhelmed the area.
“Heaven-Shattering Strike!”
I watched the screen with a look of disbelief and muttered.
“I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the name of the technique…”
CRRRRRAAAAACK!
A red shockwave exploded outward, shattering every incoming piece of metal. Not only that, but the impact also caused the arena floor to crack like a spiderweb, sending vibrations all the way to the spectator seats.
[Wh-What is this…!]
The announcer’s flustered voice could be heard, but the duel had only just begun.
Victor’s face hardened.
“That dark red energy…”
But Ryu Ja-ho was already preparing his next attack. The aura of the Blood Demon Art and the energy of his curse radiated from his body even more intensely.
“This is… the power bestowed upon me by my master!”
As Ryu Ja-ho drew his sword, the entire blade was stained with a dark red energy. It emanated a sinister and powerful killing intent, like a demonic sword.
Victor stretched out both hands, unleashing an even stronger psychokinetic force. All the metal in the vicinity stirred, moving according to his will.
“Hngh!”
A massive steel frame came crashing down on Ryu Ja-ho. It was a colossal mass that had to weigh several tons.
But Ryu Ja-ho simply raised his sword above his head.
“Blood Heaven Slash!”
CLANG!
The moment he swung the sword upward, a dark red sword energy shot up as if to tear the sky apart. The massive steel pillar was split precisely in half, collapsing to either side with a horrific screech of metal.
Witnessing the scene, Victor’s face turned deathly pale.
“Wh-What… My body… it won’t move…!”
Bi-yeon let out a whistle of admiration.
“Wow, Ryu Ja-ho is such a cheat…! He scattered curse particles all over the stage beforehand, drew his opponent’s attention with flashy techniques to distract him, then quietly implanted the curse in his body.”
I popped more popcorn into my mouth and nodded.
“That bastard has an uncanny sense for handling curse energy. He’s even added his own applications to the Blood Demon Art.”
Ryu Ja-ho slowly lowered his sword and glared at Victor. There was no longer any anger or excitement in his eyes.
“For filth like you to dare insult my master with your dirty mouth… Unforgivable.”
“W-Wait!”
Victor tried to say something, but it was too late.
The moment Ryu Ja-ho swung his sword, dozens of red sword strikes poured out simultaneously. Victor desperately tried to erect a psychokinetic barrier, but his body was already compromised by the curse.
“Kuaaaargh!”
Victor’s scream echoed through the arena.
[We have a winner! The victor is… Cheonma Ryu Ja-ho!]
I finished off the popcorn and turned off the TV.
“Well, at that level, he should be able to handle the small fry on his own.”
Bi-yeon stood up from the sofa and yawned.
“Now that his movements have improved with martial arts, his timing for implanting curses has gotten much more precise. At first, he just mindlessly pushed through with brute force, but now he’s learned to use his head a bit.”
“He still has a long way to go… but well, he’s become useful.”
Just then, my smartphone buzzed. It was a message from Ryu Ja-ho.
[Master! I was victorious! I have protected your honor!]
[I will continue to strive to become a disciple who does not bring you shame!]
[Glory to my master!]
“…Hmph, time to block him.”
I immediately blocked Ryu Ja-ho’s number.
Bi-yeon watched me and chuckled.
“Pfft, he’s your disciple. Cut him some slack, why don’t you?”
“Disciple? He’s just a useful dog.”
“So, what are you going to do now?”
“Hmm, it’s about time I went to another fictional world to have some fun. And there’s something I need to check.”
“Check something?”
“Yeah, I’m curious if the cooldown for summoning my daughters applies in fictional worlds too.”
Bi-yeon’s eyes sparkled as she sat up straight.
“Ooh, so which world are you going to?”
I thought for a moment, then opened the Libido App and scrolled through the list of creations.
“I should visit Eternal Spire. It’s been a while.”
“I’ve never been there, so I’m curious.”
“Well then, since we’re talking about it, shall we go right now?”
I clicked on Eternal Spire.
[Would you like to travel to Eternal Spire?]

I looked down at the new city being constructed around the Sol Ray ruins on the 7th floor.
It’s being built pretty quickly.
Below, technicians and laborers, who had power-leveled with the help of Night Bloom guild members to meet the 7th-floor entry requirement, were bustling about.
It had been a few days since I arrived, but I’d been so busy having sex and organizing documents that I hadn’t had a moment to spare.
I was so busy as soon as I got here, I can barely remember what I did last.
I slowly retraced my memories.
Ah, right. The last thing I did was spend all night with Lauren.
Before that… I remembered defeating Ares, who had descended as an incarnation.
The look on that bastard Ares’s face was a sight to see.
Thanks to that, I got a great reward called a Fragment of Authority. I also acquired a few more Unique Ability Enhancement Crystals and upgraded the abilities of Mila, Lauren, and Tia by one level each.
Mila’s evolved into “Blood Frenzy,” making her a proper damage dealer, and Lauren’s became something called “Sacred Oath”… which has been useful in many ways.
My first night with Lauren was particularly memorable. Contrary to her usual cold and strict demeanor, she showed a pure and passionate side. It was a bit surprising that she was a virgin, but that made it all the more fun.
Tiamat also shows her face from time to time.
Ever since Tia’s unique ability evolved into “Dragon God’s Priestess,” Tiamat had been borrowing Tia’s body to come get fucked whenever she had the chance.
Discovering the Celestial Map was another huge gain. Being able to move freely between floors made managing my base much easier, and the observatory at the top of the spire, which offered a panoramic view of the entire 7th floor, was of immense strategic value.
The city currently under construction was planned based on that information. The Sol Ray ruins, located midway between the west wall and the spire, offered a strategic advantage for both defense and expansion.
The monster extermination also went more smoothly than I thought.
It took some time to deal with the 700-odd Red Venom Scorpions and Giant Sand Snakes, but in the end, we cleaned them all out.
Once the basic infrastructure is in place, I can begin the full-scale conquest of the tower. After I have complete control of the 7th floor, it’ll be time to ascend to the 8th.
And most importantly, the summon cooldown was decreasing normally here as well.
[Soul Imprint Summon Status]
[Cooldown: 14 days, 14 hours, 23 minutes]
When I first came to Eternal Spire from the real world, there were over 16 days left, but now it was already down to 14. In other words, time was passing normally in this world, and the cooldown was decreasing accordingly.
…Good. Now I can truly summon my daughters anytime, anywhere.
Of course, that didn’t mean I was going to summon them the moment the cooldown was over.
I planned to call them when I needed them.
It was then that I felt a presence behind me. Footsteps approaching stealthily, almost silently, like a cat.
…The way she moves, that’s definitely Mila.
I pretended not to notice and continued to gaze out at the wasteland beyond the city walls, waiting until the presence was right behind me.
“Master!”
Along with Mila’s cheerful voice, she tried to leap onto my back in an embrace. But I had already stepped aside, and Mila’s arms flailed in the empty air as she tumbled forward.
“Kyaa—?!”
I caught Mila just before she crashed to the ground and lifted her up.
“You’re a hundred years too early to be playing tricks on me.”
“Tch, can’t you just play along?”
A small smile formed on my lips at the sight of Mila pouting.
“Anyway, how did you know to find me here?”
Mila grinned and twitched her nose.
“Hehe, I can smell my master wherever he goes~”
“Are you a dog?”
“Oh, right! Tia was going crazy. She was shouting about where you’d run off to, abandoning your work.”
“…Sorry, but tell Tia I’m on vacation for a while.”
“Kikik… You expect me to do that for free?”
Mila playfully lifted her skirt.
“You cheeky little bitch.”
“You’re the one who made me this way~”
She wasn’t even wearing panties. She spread her pussy open slightly with two fingers.
Squelch…
“Hah… Master’s hand feels so good…♡”
“So if I fuck you with my cock, you’ll pretend you didn’t see me?”
Mila’s eyes narrowed as the corners of her mouth lifted into a smirk.
“Mhm…♡ I’ll pretend I didn’t see you.”
I pressed down on Mila’s waist, positioning her to make it easier to thrust my cock inside. I rubbed my cock against her glistening, parted pussy lips before plunging into her without hesitation.
SQUELCH!
“Haaaahng…♡”
“How’s this? Just like the first time we met… should I do it like I’m raping you?”
“Yes…♡ Do it like that… Force me, just do whatever you want…!”
I smiled and wrapped my hands around Mila’s pigtails. I yanked them back hard, causing her neck to arch back. Her body trembled in mid-air, dangling as if suspended.
“Kkgh… Hnngh…♡”
Her legs flailed in the air as her entire body shook from the pressure of my cock penetrating her pussy.
I didn’t hold back. I slammed my hips wildly, roughly plundering Mila’s tight pussy.
Slap! Slap! Squelch! Slap!
“Haahk… Haaang…♡ Master… It feels like you’re raping me, Master… I love it…! Harder, harder…!”
Her skin flushed as she was tossed about, her tear-streaked eyes holding a completely broken, lewd expression. I pushed forward relentlessly, pounding against her womb.
