The Sculpting Mage

Episode 107

A pair of snow-white gloves handed over an automatic pistol.

『Relic of the Previous Era - Opdel A11 Pistol (Rare)』

The blue ponytailed maid beside her hesitated before handing over a pistol magazine.

Tch, I don't have a bullet-crafting skill. How the hell am I supposed to keep this thing supplied?

[This is all we can offer you... for now...]

[Ammunition... should become available soon, even in the early zones.]

Just as expected—maids who showed favoritism only to the protagonist.

Well, well. I couldn't exactly refuse.

"Thanks. I'll take good care of it."

This feeling... like I'd become some church oppa.

Faced with such innocent lambs, a wicked grin spread across my face before I even realized it. But their earlobes only turned an even deeper red.

Seemed like they couldn't tell the nature of my smile. If it had been Kang So-eun or Kim Seon-hwa, they would've recoiled in disgust and shot me a glare. Lucky me.

[...Its performance is only viable in the early zones, after all... We sisters will secretly bring you something better later.]

[Even if it breaks, don't feel too disappointed. There's no need to stubbornly cling to it.]

"Got it, got it. Don't be upset when it turns into scrap metal later."

I accepted the rare-grade pistol and magazine from their hands.

Our fingers brushed in the process. Their hands were just as soft as any human's.

-...♡

-...So warm.

...The Mechanical Servitors had never shown this much favor to any other Climber.

This was a privilege reserved for me alone.

So I might as well enjoy it to the fullest.

This... is like a dating sim.

I quickly wiped the dumb look off my face and properly gripped the pistol.

Click.

A weight as solid as steel. A grip that fit perfectly in my hand. Even the materials and craftsmanship were leagues beyond anything from Earth. Satisfying.

I shoved it into the pistol holster inside my coat and tucked the magazine away as well.

"By the way, what are your names?"

The two maids' eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Not an unexpected reaction.

Climbers rarely ever asked for the names of Mechanical Servitors.

Most just treated them like NPCs.

Well, except for the men who, bewitched by their beauty, would ask just to try their luck.

They never hesitated to make lewd remarks either, or so I'd heard.

And every time, the expressionless Mechanical Servitors wouldn't even dignify them with a response—just dismember all four of their limbs on the spot. So what would happen to me if I tried...? Nah, forget it.

The maids exchanged glances before hesitantly looking back at me.

Then, with barely concealed delight, they answered.

[3-403201 is my name.]

The red-haired maid tried to hide her excitement as she gauged my reaction. Though the exposed curve of her chest and her bare shoulders had already turned a faint apricot hue.

[Next time we meet, I'd be grateful if you called me 3-520132.]

The blue ponytailed maid also spoke, unable to fully suppress her joy.

"Got it. 3-403201, 3-520132. See you next time."

By now, they had regained their composure and bowed deeply. The front of their maid uniforms subtly revealed the swell of their breasts and the pink of their areolas. Guess they weren't completely flat after all.

The garter belts cinched around their thighs were downright obscene too.

Then, in an instant—

Whoosh—

The space around us stretched away like a receding virtual reality, the sense of reality dissolving. The maids and I stood perfectly still, yet the distance between us grew.

Just then—

The twin maids offered me a gentle smile. Gone was the blank expression from ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠before, replaced by a vitality so vivid it would erase all memory of their former indifference.

I smiled back and raised my head.

『Entering the First Floor of the Tower.』

『We welcome you.』

Just as the light drew near.

#

In the blink of an eye, the artificial light faded.

Sunlight, fractured like a prism, pierced through the gaps.

I was staring directly at the sun.

So clear, so radiant.

The air was pristine, utterly free of pollution.

─...W-where is this? The Tower?

─Does anyone know what's going on?!

─Mom... Mom...!

─Bring Earth back, you bastards!

─Whoa, there's actual magic here!

But the crowd pressing in from all sides was overwhelming.

Isn't this population density way too high...?

The noise around me was endless.

And amidst it all, something impossible to miss came into view.

A towering white monument, like the Tower itself.

『Obelisk of Wishes』

The obelisk, symbol of the Tower's First Floor.

Surrounding it stood a sprawling white city.

『First Floor of the Tower - Stairs of Memory』

The marble city of the First Floor, seen only in games until now.

This place...

Scenery and colors straight out of a fairy tale.

The First Floor of the Tower...

I stared at the immaculate cityscape, lost in unfamiliar awe.

But then, strange letters flickered into view above the obelisk.

『Earth's Survivors - 2,103,721』

"......."

Even the Black Death had only killed 90%.

Yet out of six billion, only this many survived the Zombie Apocalypse...?

"0.035%..."

I couldn't believe this was the casualty rate after just twenty days.

'Fucking hell.'

The bitterness was overwhelming.

That's when it happened.

Poke poke.

Someone timidly prodded my abdomen with their index finger.

"Um... Si-hyun sunbae... Are you okay?"

A woman with lavender short hair brushing against her shoulders—

Yu Yeon, the sickly-looking art student wrapped in a mage's scarf.

"Huh? Sunbae?"

"You look pale— Kyaaah!"

The crowd was so dense that we ended up pressed flush against each other.

Yu Yeon had no choice but to press the back of her head against my lower chest, bracing herself against the surging tide of people.

'Lucky me.'

Normally, the odds of spawning on the First Floor with someone you know were astronomically low.

Looking down, I caught a glimpse of Yu Yeon's scalp and the slight dip of her collarbone.

'A-cup...'

Just as expected—her chest size was as hopeless as it appeared.

I discreetly peered past her skin to her heart. No fixed mana node had formed there yet. She likely hadn't acquired a Mana Circuit.

'Well, she's a mage. She'll probably get a basic circuit once she enters the Magic Tower. It's not like she can get a specialized one like my Semi-Spirit Form or Tirpe's Void Circuit.'

Tirpe's circuit trained the chaotic power of the Record, the force of void and disorder. The risk of it going berserk was too high unless the user had flawless mana control.

Right then—

—Send us back to Earth, you fucking bastards!!

—Dad!? Dad!! Where are you?!

The panicked crowd surged again.

"Eek?!"

Yu Yeon's cheek was squished against someone's back.

And of all things, her small butt pressed snugly against my thigh. Her skirt had ridden up, leaving her panties in direct contact with me.

"!"

Her eyes widened as she hurriedly glanced back at me, but I kept my gaze fixed on the crowd.

—Try moving toward the edge!

—People keep spawning in the middle! There's no space!

'Yes...! Keep pushing!!'

As the crowd shoved harder, my thigh sank deeper into her panties.

Yu Yeon bit her lip hard and ducked her head.

Squeeze.

'Huh?'

At first, I thought I was imagining it.

But I wasn't.

...Amid the chaotic jostling, Yu Yeon was secretly groping my thigh.

"I-It's really crowded, huh?"

She pretended innocence, staring straight ahead.

—...You're always stuck to So-eun and Seonhwa sunbae, so I never got a chance...

And on that thigh, she had set aside something soft and thick.

—...I wanted to be with you too...

"..."

Yu Yeon's fingers began gently kneading the head of my cock.

Our upper bodies were pressed so tightly together that no one could see below the waist. She probably thought she could keep pretending it wasn't her.

'Wait, am I getting sexually harassed right now...?'

It was beyond ridiculous.

But Yu Yeon didn't realize one thing.

Even if no one else could see, I could.

Every inch of this lecherous college girl's face as she timidly fondled me.

"Ah! Sir! Try moving to the side!"

"People keep spawning in the gaps!!"

"Eek! Who just grabbed my ass?! Which bastard was it?!"

"Fuck! Who'd wanna touch a flat ass like yours?! Shut up and stay still!"

The central plaza of the Tower's First Floor.

No gaps appeared in the crowd. The noise never let up for even a second. But none of that mattered to me.

I was getting a handjob right now.

『Censored Ability is being Amplified.』

Yu Yeon's pupils shimmered with heat.

Her entire face grew disheveled, lewd.

"...Th-The crowd isn't thinning. There's no way out."

She feigned nonchalance, but sweat beaded on her cheek before trickling down. The nape of her neck, hidden by her hair, was drenched and feverish.

How dare she act so composed while stroking my dick? ...Disgusting. This fucking bitch. Harassing me?

Just then, my cock twitched slightly.

—...H-Huh? I-It wasn't this big before, was it?

Yu Yeon, who had been quietly sniffing, widened her eyes in shock.

But it was too late to stop—my dick was already burning hot. Hard and massive enough to tent my pants.

"Hahk?!"

Her gloomy-yet-cute eyes flew open.

Because I'd wedged my erect cock between her ass cheeks. I could feel the panty-clad flesh through the fabric of my pants.

Yu Yeon was a promising mage with the cheat-like ability Depicts. Claiming her virginity now and making her mine wouldn't be a bad move.

'Though the problem is...'

『Your cock intensifies a woman's obsession to an extreme degree.』

The obsessive phenomenon that had occurred with Kim Seon-hwa and Tirpe, who weren't heroines...

But the man refused to yield to it...!

"Wow, sunbae. There are so many people here. But I guess people ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠still do what they want even in a situation like this."

"...Huh? Wh-what?! Hng?!!"

I grabbed Yu Yeon's soft chest. A tiny chest barely needing a bra for warmth. The more I touched it, the sadder I felt.

"...?!"

But as I felt Yu Yeon's body temperature spike in shock, I got excited by the new scent of a woman.

Her face, pressed against my chest, trembled and grew lewder.

Then, the hand that had been stroking my cock suddenly tried to pull away. But that wasn't happening. I swiftly grabbed her slender wrist, arresting her on the spot.

I pressed my lips to her flustered earlobe.

"Sunbae? Isn't this bad?"

Well, she wasn't my direct senior, and I didn't have to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠call her that, but I deliberately did.

—...Wh-what do I do...

Yu Yeon's pupils wavered, lost. She probably wanted this, but now that she'd been caught, she seemed embarrassed, like ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠she wanted to hide.

The scent of a female in heat grew thicker from her neck.

"Huh? Why so quiet, sunbae? You look like you have a lot to say."

I reached out with my left hand.

Her skirt had ridden up, blatantly exposing her pink panties.

I could feel her damp pussy flesh through the fabric. I pinched it firmly with two fingers.

"Hngk?!"

Yu Yeon's eyes flew wide open. Then, startled by her own lewd noise, she clapped her tiny hands over her mouth.

"Haaah...?!"

I spread her swollen labia with my fingers. As my fingers curled inside, her body trembled lightly. Transparent fluid dripped down her snow-white thighs. Every time I prodded inside her panties, her body squirmed desperately.

But the people jostling against us were too busy fighting the crowd to notice.

I whispered to Yu Yeon in that moment.

"Sunbae. You like me, right? This place seems to say so."

As I spoke, I stroked the taut flesh visible through her panties. I flicked the waistband teasingly, slipped my fingers inside to play with her soaked pubic hair, then lightly traced her slit—massaging her pelvis, ass, and thighs as I pleased. Occasionally, I'd grope her dripping pussy.

Each time, Yu Yeon couldn't hold back—her eyes fluttered wildly. Her small body convulsed in my arms.

Finally, Yu Yeon, barely holding back her moans, panted and pulled her hand away from her mouth.

Then she looked at me, pleading.

Her eyes held nothing but lust for me.

"D-do it... Just once, please, put it in... I'll keep it a secret from everyone. Please..."

Her slender thighs clung to me desperately. The face of a bitch in heat, unable to bear being teased any longer. Yu Yeon gripped my wrist and pressed her ass against me.

Tears welled in her eyes as she begged me to fuck her—a pure maiden... no, a slut.

『Yu Yeon's Affection Level: 92/100』

「Key Line - "Then this pussy is mine from now on."」

"Then this pussy is mine from now on."

Yu Yeon froze for a second, then nodded tearfully.

"Mm..."

Her whisper was shy.

Squelch—

I slid my fingers in and out of her impossibly tight pussy a few times before pulling them out. Sticky arousal clung to my fingers before dripping off.

"Haa... Haaah... Hng..."

Yu Yeon's face slackened as she let out filthy moans. Her gaze was hot and lewd, already anticipating breeding. I'd never seen her as a woman before, but this was a refreshing sight.

I pushed aside the now-useless scrap of fabric that was her panties. The pink underwear, stretched to one side, barely clung to her pussy mound.

Through the gap, her glistening pink flesh peeked shyly. The neatly closed slit between her snow-white folds was pristine, not a single imperfection.

As I traced her small ass and pronounced hips with my palm, hot arousal dripped endlessly down her thighs. She was completely in heat for me.

I pulled out my cock and pressed it against her plump pussy lips. Her pink flesh parted stickily as my shaft pushed in. Only the tip barely entered her entrance, already warmed by her dripping juices.

"Hk, hng...!"

Fear and excitement warred on Yu Yeon's face—but when she looked at me, excitement won overwhelmingly.

"D-do it... please..."

Her tongue practically tied itself as she clung to me, shaking her hips.

I smirked. Then, lining up my cock with her pussy, I thrust my hips in hard.

Squelch—

"!"

The pain of defloration made Yu Yeon's eyes jolt violently. My cock plunged deep into her, past her pushed-aside panties. Beneath her trembling pussy, blood dripped instead of arousal.

Under her skirt, hidden from the crowd, our joined bodies trembled.

Drip— drip—

Yu Yeon's virgin blood fell to the noisy crowd's feet. Her choked scream and tears were just a bonus.
