Chapter 108 49. The Tower Begins
The Tower Begins
Episode 109
The moment I filled Yu Yeon's womb with my cum as her first man.
"What about me?!"
Kim Seon-hwa grabbed my arm and growled.
Right. Sex was indeed important.
—Come out here!
—No, I told you someone's outside!
But wherever we went, the crowd was too dense to push through.
This is insane...
'The sheer desperation to find me is terrifying.'
Just then, pitch-black obsession began seeping from Kim Seon-hwa's eyes.
『Obsession flares due to sexual frustration.』
You fucking bastard! What do you want me to do?! Tell me to fuck her or not! Pick one!
Kim Seon-hwa's fiery temper hadn't changed—she still lacked situational awareness. As she was about to say something,
"Oof!"
The crowd shoved her forward, making her nose collide with my arm.
Kim Seon-hwa glared at my bicep while clutching her reddened nose.
"Ugh. Your arm's rock-fucking-hard. Stop bulking up, you bastard."
"...I know you're always drooling over my muscles."
"You? You? A brat like you using informal speech with your sunbae?"
"Yeah. Our school's gone."
"Hmph. So that's why... you're fucking every girl in sight..."
Kim Seon-hwa grumbled under her breath after releasing her nose. But the moment she looked at my face, her cheeks instantly flushed. Her fierce expression melted away.
—...God, he's so annoying... but so damn handsome...
Kim Seon-hwa, now with her hair down, was still wearing her shabby mage robes.

No wonder the 「Witch Council」 had their eyes on her.
'Still a shame her stats got nerfed because of her class.'
The more I examined Kim Seon-hwa's stats, the more I realized how well I'd chosen the 「Agent」 class.
Normally, no matter what class you pick, your stats adjust to match its specialization.
If I'd become a 「Holy Swordsman」, my 「Mana」 stat would've been replaced entirely by 「Sacred Power」.
"Why're you staring like that? Peeking at my panties again?"
Kim Seon-hwa shot me a suspicious look, her playful side surfacing. When my gaze drifted downward, she shyly pressed her skirt down.
Not that it mattered—her white bra and panties were already fully visible.
"S-stop looking."
This bashful face she only showed me.
A side you'd never expect from her bold appearance.
Then our eyes met. Kim Seon-hwa didn't look away either.
"...."
"...."
We hadn't properly talked because we'd been tiptoeing around Kang So-eun's presence, but locking eyes like this felt strangely nostalgic.
Her clear black eyes brimmed with affection for me.
Yet her dissatisfied gaze soon revealed a woman's pout.
—...How can I get fucked here...
Come to think of it, it'd been over two weeks since I last had sex with Kim Seon-hwa.
We did it in Seoul while avoiding Kang So-eun's notice, but even that was a rushed ten-minute session.
For a woman obsessed with my cock, foreplay was barely necessary—emergency sex at its finest.
But women are fundamentally creatures who crave affection.
Though her urges were quickly satisfied, the lack of intimate time together inevitably bred frustration.
Right now, Kim Seon-hwa's face was swallowing down immense obsession and dissatisfaction.
'Fuck, stop it already.'
An aura of obsession radiated from Kim Seon-hwa's devouring gaze.
The other women searching for me were probably the same.
As my eyes wavered in fear and I gulped,
"Eek!"
Kim Seon-hwa—who'd been licking her lips—got shoved again by the crowd. Her soft breasts pressed against my arm. In that brief contact, I felt her heated breath on my neck. Glancing down, I saw Kim Seon-hwa gazing up at me with longing eyes.
"...Did it feel good?"
Her voice dripped with jealousy. Then her expression darkened. With envious eyes, she peeked at Yu Yeon, who'd collapsed in pleasure.
—...I have to join the Witch Council soon because Perdain keeps contacting me...
Kim Seon-hwa would soon join the Witch Council as my spy. Meaning after this moment, we'd hardly be together. We'd had sex less than twenty times, and barely shared any lover-like conversations.
—...Does she even like me...?
Her face tried to appear tough for me.
But her gloom remained unchanged.
And I'm not the type to just watch this happen.
Even if it means getting devoured by women.
"Noona. Let's stop by 'Abundant Golden Luck' in the North District later."
I whispered while squeezing Kim Seon-hwa's plump ass. Caught off guard by the groping amid the crowd, she shot me a flustered look.
"What, what? Wh-where is that place...?"
Even as she stammered, there was a subtle undercurrent of anticipation in her voice.
The North District of the First Floor was a residential area.
The Abundant Golden Luck was the most expensive and luxurious among the northern lodging facilities.
I wanted to spend my last moments with Kim Seon-hwa there.
I leaned in close to her dazed face.
"I'm gonna fuck you like a dog there."
Realizing the implication, Seon-hwa flushed crimson and stumbled over her words.
"...Huh? Wh-what?"
"I wanna eat your pussy so damn bad today."
"......Y-you told everyone else to go to the Dusty Foundry once they reached the First Floor..."
I squeezed her firm, plump ass even tighter, sliding my hand under her robe to grope the supple flesh spilling over her hot pants.
"Hahng...?!"
"I wanna suck on your tits today, so let's meet there instead."
Seon-hwa's eyes darted helplessly before she finally gave in, nodding timidly with a face that refused to cool down.
"...Okay."
Whether she had read my intentions or not, Seon-hwa smiled, looking genuinely happy. The gloom that had clung to her was nowhere to be seen now. Her eyes held nothing but me, warm and affectionate, as if she adored me.
Seemingly relieved, she rested her head against my shoulder. I smiled back and pulled her slender frame into my arms. Seon-hwa hugged my waist in return, closing her eyes with a satisfied expression.
"...Love... you..."
For just a fleeting moment—amid the noise of the crowd—I thought I heard those words.
We stood there silently, embracing, exchanging warmth.
I felt a little bad for the onlookers who were clearly uncomfortable, but right now, the only thing that mattered to me was my woman—and survival.
『Kim Seon-hwa's obsession is partially alleviated.』
Every day is scorching, yet I'm walking on thin ice.
It's terrifying.
-...♡
I don't know how she keeps reading my mind, but at least she looks happy now.
Sigh.
The people watching us probably assumed we were lovers who had just reunited. Except—
"Goodness, what's going on here?"
"Is the girl on the left her little sister? They look nothing alike..."
"Two-timing...?"
"No way..."
With Seon-hwa clinging to my right and Yu Yeon to my left, the glares from the crowd were sharp. But whatever—
I subtly avoided their gazes and groped Seon-hwa's sideboob. She shot me a glare, as if resigned.
"Pervert..."
"Hah? Pervert? Oh, you wanna see a real pervert? I'm taking your anal virginity today, noona."
"...Th-that's... no..."
"I wanna be your first in everything. You don't wanna give that to me?"
".........I-I'll think about it..."
-...You bastard.
Her face burned red as she gritted her teeth and turned away. But there's no way she could refuse someone as perfect as me.
-...Do I really have to? I-I'm scared of that...
A beauty who bows to no one is completely at my mercy. The difference between how she treats others and how she treats me is so stark it's almost funny.
Back when she was fighting zombies, I thought she was this tough, fearless woman.
But that side of her doesn't exist around me. The girl beside me now is just a shy woman who wants to look good for me.
『Kim Seon-hwa's obsession grows even more twisted.』
Stop it!
"Uh, hey, look!"
Just then, someone pointed upward.
A monument, similar to the Obelisk of Origin in the Outer Dimension.
A radiant light burst forth from the pristine white obelisk.
The Obelisk of Wishes.
Brighter, clearer characters formed across its surface.
『All Earthlings have been successfully transported.』
『Earth's survivors - 2,103,721』
The moment that despairing number appeared, my mood plummeted to the depths.
Even in countries where firearms were allowed, at least 1% survived in the game...
Is this really Heaven Mode's doing?
"..."
Seon-hwa's fingers trembled as they clutched my sleeve.
Her eyes and hands were shaking with unease. Silently, I took her hand in mine.
Only then did she startle slightly before calming down, glancing at me and whispering,
"Thank you..."
Regaining her composure, Seon-hwa and I turned our attention back to the obelisk.
『Climbers who survive in the Tower can be searched for via the Obelisk of Wishes.』
『The records of the deceased will be erased from the Obelisk of Wishes.』
In stark contrast to the bleak reality we faced, the obelisk shone far too brightly.
Just how many more people would be dragged into the Tower and sacrificed?
...I didn't know the answer. But I was the one who had triggered Heaven Mode.
The greater sacrifices compared to the original were probably a sin I'd have to atone for.
My shoulders feel heavy.
But I had no choice.
Because I'm the protagonist.
Squeeze—
Without realizing it, my grip tightened around Seon-hwa's shoulder. She flinched, and I shot her an apologetic look. Seon-hwa stared back at me, then squeezed my hand as if to reassure me.
"It's okay. Don't worry. You're my man. Everything will work out."
Her gentle comfort made my eyes flicker.
"I-I'll help too... I don't know how much use I'll be, but..."
Yu Yeon, who had woken up at some point, spoke without meeting my eyes, her voice tinged with embarrassment.
Under their gazes, the weight on my shoulders lessened.
I took a deep breath.
Then I spoke.
"Yeah. Let's just fucking do it."
『May you find the miracle to reach the Tower's summit.』
I reached out with both hands and grabbed Seon-hwa and Yu Yeon's asses.
"!"
"!"
Seon-hwa glared at me sharply, while Yu Yeon's eyes widened in shock.
I had a responsibility to protect these asses.
Even if my motivation for conquering the Tower was a little crude.
"I've got to protect my harem."
Kim Seon-hwa glared at me sharply, while Yu Yeon's eyes widened even further.
(Thought) No matter how crude my motives might seem for climbing this tower, I have a responsibility to keep these butts safe.
The weight of that duty settled firmly in my chest—even if my reasons were far from noble.
