A soft yet firm pressure enveloped my index finger.
The squishy texture of her inner walls—so warm it bordered on hot—was both fascinating and thrilling.
'This must be those ridges and folds people talk about...'
I moved my finger slowly, probing like an explorer, delving into Lee Sua's pussy.
Of course, since her insides were still dry, the depth and speed left much to be desired.
"Eek...?!"
"What, you're back?"
I spread her inner walls up and down with my finger, drawing a shallow reaction as she snapped out of her trance.
Her expression showed it wasn't pleasure—just surprise at the unfamiliar sensation.
I mean, it'd only been less than ten seconds since I slipped my finger in. If she was already feeling it, that'd be some real erotic fantasy bullshit.
Lee Sua's pupils shook for a moment before she steadied her breathing and met my gaze.
Had she sorted out her thoughts?
"...By any chance, what's your name?"
She suddenly asked for my name.
What was her angle?
It was a pretty unusual question from a woman in the middle of being raped.
She'd been cursing me out and screaming just moments ago.
Now her attitude was completely calm, the opposite of before.
Her sudden shift left question marks popping up in my head.
'Still, I should answer. It's just a name— no big deal anymore.'
Hell, the world had already ended, so handing out my name didn't faze me.
"Jin Yuseong."
"Jin Yuseong... Nice name. Huh?! ...I'm Lee Sua."
Mid-sentence, I pushed my entire index finger inside her, past the second knuckle.
Seeing her let out a cute moan from the stimulation I gave made my desire build up, threatening to overflow.
I could control Lee Sua with just one finger.
Whether she was shocked or not, I stirred her insides just as my instincts demanded.
Squelch, squelch, squelch—
"Hng, hngh... Can you stop for a sec? I have something to say...!"
"Talk. I'll keep doing my thing."
Her suddenly changed attitude and the way she seemed to have something important to say.
Every time I kept stirring her insides, she twisted her hips side to side, begging me to stop, but no chance.
For a rape victim to even attempt conversation took guts, but that was it.
'And how could I stop this... When it's so damn fun.'
They say adrenaline floods your brain in situations like this.
That was exactly me right now.
Fingering a woman's pussy for the first time—especially a beautiful one—stirring it around and watching her reactions. A seriously arousing setup.
Not getting excited would be weirder.
So her plea fell on deaf ears; I was already on the verge of losing it.
Squish—!
"You bastard... Ahem! Anyway, listen. Eek?! ...Right now, zombies are roaming outside, and fragile women like me can't survive easily. Right?"
Was she trying to assess the situation?
"Yeah. To add more, the streets are a zombie field. It was pretty tough getting here."
In reality, I'd strolled in easily with my cheat stealth, but no need to tell her that.
Squelch, squelch, squelch, squelch—
'Oh, getting a bit wet now?'
Lee Sua's face was so composed it threw me off—no sign of arousal at all.
I'd heard that a woman's pussy secretes fluids to protect itself from irritation, but damn if it wasn't true.
The warmth wrapping my finger now slick and sticky made my movements smoother, really driving home that I was doing something lewd.
While I was lost in those thoughts, Lee Sua continued.
"Then I'd die the moment I step outside... I know from fighting my mom when she turned. How dangerous and terrifying zombies are. Hnngh...! Ah, seriously!"
What're you gonna do if you get mad?
I deliberately pulled my finger all the way out mid-sentence, then shoved it back in to the hilt, disrupting her. She shot me a glare to cut it out.
And I just grinned back, stirring her insides as my response.
Squelch, squelch—!
"Hoo... I only survived my zombie mom because I tripped and a kitchen knife stabbed her forehead by accident. I couldn't beat her again... So I have a proposal for you."
"Hm? Proposal?"
"Yeah, a proposal."
She said it with a serious expression.
It clashed with her bound state, but she looked resolute.
'Didn't expect a proposal here.'
Well, judging by her face, I could guess what it was.
As a reader of Despair of the Apocalypse, I knew Lee Sua's personality.
"You want my body anyway, right? But if you do it while I'm tied up like this, I won't respond at all. You'll feel like you're jerking off with a doll and get bored midway."
"... ."
I nodded for her to go on.
Of course, my finger was still stirring her pussy.
Squelch, squish, squelch—!
It even sounded a bit wet now.
"Hngh... So let's make a deal—a contract that benefits us both. I'll actively satisfy your lust, and you protect me. ...How about it?"
Her words said one thing, but her face screamed disgust.
At the same time, I could feel her desperate plea for me to accept.
Her true feelings were probably revulsion and reluctance.
But it was classic Lee Sua, the main heroine of Ajeol—facing reality head-on, staying cool-headed, and always choosing the best option for survival.
In the original story, she'd excellently served as the brain of her survivor group with that mindset and judgment.
She figured offering her body to me was the optimal choice for survival right now.
'Not bad, but...'
"A contract, huh... You know you're being raped by me right now? Isn't it weird to propose that to your rapist?"
I tested her, just in case.
"Hoo... It's been a day, and not only is the internet down, even phones are dead. If the government was functioning, they'd suppress a zombie outbreak like this within twelve hours, no matter how sci-fi it is... No emergency broadcasts either, so we can't even hope for the authorities."
Sharp as hell.
She'd been holed up in this room, yet she grasped the situation like someone who'd seen it firsthand.
I paused the stirring and spoke.
"So you want to get under the wing of someone strong with special powers like me for safety?"
"Exactly. In a pinch, you grab any rotten rope you can."
"Calling me a rotten rope to my face... Haha, funny."
"But it's true, right? A traitor abusing extralegal power to commit crimes in a disaster. But the guy who just cleanly used that... superpower? Magic?"
"If I had to pick, superpower."
"Yeah. That special guy who might be my hope, using superpowers right now. Even if his personality is trash."
What mental fortitude.
If I were her, I couldn't make that choice even knowing it was right.
Emotions are the strongest decision-maker humans have.
"Amazing. Never saw that proposal coming."
"That's how desperate I am. This is life-or-death for me. So... contract?"
With that, Lee Sua looked at my face, done with her piece, waiting for my answer.
Tension was plain as day on her face.
She'd said it calmly, but she had to be anxious as hell.
She was betting everything on this deal with me—natural, especially since I could ignore her without consequence.
'Lee Sua's proposal is intriguing, but...'
Honestly, I wasn't thrilled.
The content matched what I wanted, sure, but it was just a verbal agreement.
No guarantees—she could bolt at the first chance or blow it off.
Plus, we saw each other very differently.
'Why would a slave and her master negotiate as equals?'
That fundamental question hit me.
She saw us as equals making a deal, but I didn't see her that way.
To me, she was slave candidate number one.
The premise was wrong from the start.
She came off as arrogant.
'Arrogant, yeah, but if I just rape her like this, she'll turn into a real doll...'
She'd just declared with her own mouth that without the contract, she'd go doll-mode.
In Ajeol, she always kept her word, no matter what.
Not torture-level stubborn, but I wasn't planning torture anyway.
'If I wanted a doll, I'd have shoved my dick in already.'
I wanted a cute, obedient slave. Her going doll-mode was the last thing I needed.
But contracting as equals? Still rubbed me wrong.
This and that both sucked, but no helping it.
As I pondered my next move, something clicked. I remembered a skill that'd be perfect for this.
I pulled up the system, entranced, and opened the shop window.
