This Morning's Story
Sex with Ji-su didn't end after a single round. No, I couldn't stop there. Every time I finished cleaning her body, my cock would spring back to full attention without rest. Each time, I'd lay her down again and drive into her, pumping thick ropes of semen deep inside her pussy. This was already the third time I'd been relentlessly pounding away at her like that.
I'd ordered her into a prone position and tried doggy style for the first time. I completely lost my mind. Even in missionary her pussy had squeezed me so tightly, but from behind the way it clamped down and milked my cock was on another level. The pleasure was enough to drive me insane.
Squelch. Squelch. Squelch. The lewd sound of my pelvis slapping against Ji-su's ass echoed obscenely. Gripping her hips on both sides, I thrust hard, mesmerized by the way her soft flesh rippled with every impact. It was unbearably sensual.
I couldn't hold back the surging climax after only a few strokes. I erupted straight into her pussy, flooding her with cum.
“Uuuuugh…!”
A wave of pleasure so intense it felt like my head would explode. Even though I'd failed to find the right hole at first and this was already my third creampie, the amount of semen pouring out showed no sign of decreasing. Why?
Savoring the lingering afterglow of an ejaculation that felt both long and short, I slowly withdrew my cock from Ji-su's pussy.
With a wet pop, my semen flowed out in thick streams. And, as expected, the black smoke came with it.
The smoke again. Why does that keep happening?
Every time we had sex, black smoke would flow from Ji-su's pussy. I activated Siphon Hand once more to heal her.
Watching her lie face-down with her ass raised high, my cum dripping steadily from her used hole, I felt my cock twitch and begin to harden again. I shook my head and forced the arousal down.
I can't spend all day just fucking. What the hell am I doing? This is exactly why virgins like me are hopeless…
With a sigh, I roughly wiped myself down with tissues and got dressed. I handed Ji-su some tissues and ordered her to clean herself, then stepped out through the Gate of Rest.
The moment I emerged, the thick metallic stench of blood washed over me. The floor was littered with the big guy's corpse, the shattered remains of the monsters he'd smashed during his rampage, and the scattered pieces of Seong-man's body.
No matter how much it was my first time having sex, doing it over and over in a place like this… I really am something else.
Maybe becoming a necromancer had erased any disgust I once felt toward corpses. The Cradle of Rest had transparent walls that showed everything outside, yet during sex nothing had entered my mind except Ji-su's body.
Just remembering the sloppy, intense sex with her made my cock twitch again. I took several deep breaths to calm myself, then headed to the kitchen, soaked a towel in water, and brought it back.
It was pitch black beyond the windows. Night had fallen while I wasn't paying attention.
Quite a lot of time has passed…
Back inside the Cradle of Rest, I carefully wiped Ji-su's body clean with the wet towel. While cleaning her naked form, I felt myself growing hard again, so I hurriedly dressed her.
Black panties, tight jeans (which took considerable effort to pull on—why were they so tight?), and a black bra. I'd found her blouse outside, but it had been torn to shreds. I went to the storage room to look for something she could wear instead and luckily discovered a customer's forgotten zip-up hoodie.
“Seo Ji-su. Come here.”
When I called, she walked out through the Gate of Rest. After getting her dressed, I began gathering everything from the storage room.
I need to stockpile all of it. These things will become incredibly valuable from now on.
I moved every item—tissues, disposable bowls, and everything else—from the PC bang storage room into the Cradle of Rest. After several trips between the two of us, the storage room was completely emptied out.
Just this last box and…
I was carrying the final box of paper cups back toward the Gate of Rest when—
BOOM!
A distant explosion rang out, and every light inside the PC bang went dark.
…Power must be out. Well, with the world crawling with monsters, it's a miracle it lasted this long.
With no lights at all, I couldn't see even an inch in front of me.
Isn't there a flashlight somewhere…? Oh, right. My phone.
I grabbed my smartphone from behind the counter. I hadn't turned it on even once since the madness began this morning. It was a cheap device I only used for games since I had no one to contact anyway.
The screen showed a full 100% battery. Naturally—it had been plugged in the whole time.
No internet… Yeah, that makes sense.
Not only was there no connection, the signal bars were completely gone.
Guess it'll only be useful as a flashlight.
I switched on the phone's flashlight and stepped back into the Cradle of Rest. Moving in and out of the gate had made me realize the temperature difference. Outside it was quite chilly, but inside the Cradle of Rest the air was perfectly comfortable.
Even a livable temperature… I think the Gate of Rest is the best cheat skill I have.
After calling Ji-su inside as well, I closed the gate. I spoke to her as she stood there blankly.
“Organize the supplies toward the back.”
Following my order, she began stacking the scattered items neatly. The right rear corner of the Cradle of Rest was now filled with food, while the left held the miscellaneous supplies.
It's getting cramped in here… Well, nothing I can do about it. I think there was a derived skill called Expansion later. I'll widen it then.
After a few more trips back and forth with Ji-su, we finished organizing everything.
Let's sleep here tonight and figure out our next move tomorrow. Wandering around outside on a pitch-black night would be suicide.
I spread out the mattress I'd taken from the storage room. It was the one the PC bang owner occasionally used when he came in drunk and slept there.
I used to get so annoyed seeing him snoring away in the storage room… Funny how something like this ends up being useful.
After setting up the pillow and blanket, I slipped under the covers and called out to Ji-su, who was still standing there blankly.
“Seo Ji-su. Come lie down here.”
At my command she crawled under the blanket. Holding her in my arms, I felt myself growing hard again, but my body was too exhausted. I decided to rest for the night.
Ji-su lay in my embrace with her eyes open, staring into space.
“Close your eyes.”
She obeyed instantly. I let out a small sigh.
“That's better.”
It had been an unbelievably exhausting day. Fighting monsters, activating skills, fighting more monsters, nearly dying, and having sex for the first time in my life. So much had happened.
Lying there with Ji-su in my arms, I closed my eyes and thought back to how this insane world had begun.
This morning. It was my 9 a.m. shift, and I was receiving the handover from Seong-man on the night shift. A short while later, Ji-su—who also worked mornings—arrived. It wasn't peak hours, but there were unusually no customers at all. Not a single one.
Seong-man and Ji-su kept glancing at me, giggling and trading pointless jokes. I pretended not to hear their mockery as I mopped the floor with a rag. Just another ordinary beginning to another ordinary day.
Then everything went pitch black. We couldn't see a thing. It felt like we'd been dropped alone into a dark, empty room. I looked around in confusion, searching for Seong-man and Ji-su who had been right in front of me moments earlier—
—when it appeared.
A creature half my size, with a head like a white rat's face. It floated in the air, staring at me, and spoke.
Hello. Nice to meet you. I am Manager Su from Soora Corporation, which has been entrusted by the heavenly realm with managing this game.
The surreal sight left me speechless. I could only stare blankly at the creature as it floated there, reciting its lines in a completely flat tone.
From today, Earth will face an invasion from the demon realm. The streets will be filled with monsters that seek to kill humans. Humans must fight to survive, but they have no power. Human weapons are useless against the monsters of the demon realm. It is a desperate crisis for all of humanity! However, there is no need to worry. The merciful heavenly gods have bestowed upon you the power to fight against the demon realm.
It spoke like something out of a fantasy novel, yet its expression and tone remained utterly indifferent. The disconnect between the content and the delivery left me staring at it in a daze.
Now, I will give you the opportunity to choose a class. You will develop the skills of your chosen class to survive. Furthermore, you must kill the monsters of the demon realm, grow stronger by killing and killing again, and ultimately defeat the Demon King to achieve victory. Your class will be selected from those most suitable after reviewing the life you have lived so far. Please wait a moment!
The words sounded like an overly enthusiastic recreation instructor's script, yet they were delivered without a shred of emotion. It really seemed only interested in delivering information.
The creature extended its palm. Brilliant light bloomed from it, then faded. In its place lay nine cards.
It began examining the cards one by one.
“Hmm…?”
For the first time, a flicker of surprise crossed its previously expressionless face.
“Oh my… these are quite interesting class cards. What kind of life have you lived to receive options like these… huh?!”
This time the surprise was unmistakable.
“Even a card like this… impressive.”
I had no idea what it was talking about. Had I lived my life that strangely?
Ah… I seem to have spoken out of turn. I apologize. Let us continue. From now on I will need direct answers from you. Think of it like confirming consent during a contract. First question: After selecting your class, will you devote yourself to killing the Demon King and bringing peace to the world?
It was the first time I'd spoken since arriving here.
“Uh… well…”
Please speak comfortably.
I hesitated. The answer I wanted to give probably wouldn't please it. Still…
“Do I… really have to kill the Demon King?”
…Pardon?
“You said killing the Demon King would bring peace to the world. Then… this game? You called it a game earlier, right? Wouldn't the game end too? I… well, I don't really feel any urge to save the world…”
……
Now its expression was crystal clear. It was the face of someone who couldn't believe what they were hearing. So it could make faces after all.
It stared at me with that dumbfounded look. Then the corners of its mouth slowly stretched upward. Its eyes curved into crescent moons. The sight was unpleasant. That grotesque smile… It was definitely laughing. It covered its mouth, shoulders shaking as it tried to hold it in. The way it kept making those stifled “kuk kuk” noises was irritating.
Finally, it couldn't hold back any longer.
KYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
What a truly unpleasant laugh. The creature flipped and twisted in the air, tears streaming from its eyes as it cackled like it had heard the funniest thing in existence. After laughing for a long while, it finally managed to stop.
Ah… I am truly sorry. Kyahaha. It was just such an amusing thing to hear.
It still looked like it was struggling to contain its laughter. After taking a deep breath, it finally calmed down.
Haa, I don't remember the last time I laughed like that. Please don't feel bad. It wasn't laughter meant to mock you. It was simply… laughter born from joy. If I offended you, I apologize.
“…Laughter born from joy?”
Yes, from joy. I cannot explain the details, but…
Oh dear, we must continue. I've taken too much time. Of course, you are not required to defeat the Demon King. There is no time limit, and you simply need to survive well with the class you receive. However, company regulations require me to obtain consent, so please just answer “yes” to the questions I ask. Let us begin again. After selecting your class, will you devote yourself to killing the Demon King and bringing peace to the world?
“…Yes.”
The creature asked several more scripted questions, and I answered “yes” to all of them. When it was finished, it smiled.
That concludes the questions. Once you select your class, you will return to reality and begin a long battle. You have been given nine class cards! Surprisingly, one of them is a five-star class. Even I have rarely seen five-star classes. I sincerely hope you draw it.
As soon as it finished speaking, the class cards floating above its palm rose into the air and lined up before my eyes. I could only see their backs.
It's literally just a draw. This is pure luck.
If there were five-star classes, there were probably one-star classes too. One-star would basically be trash. I needed to get at least three stars or higher.
But… have I ever had good luck with draws? All I remember is pulling junk every time.
The creature spoke softly to me as I hesitated.
Now, please concentrate. You will need to focus very carefully.
Concentrate on a gacha draw? I was just going to pick one after looking around. But its expression was serious, and its eyes were full of goodwill. It almost looked like… it was trying to help me.
I took its words seriously and focused my eyes on the backs of the cards, examining each one.
…Huh? Why are there only eight?
Upon closer inspection, I realized there were only eight cards visible even though nine had been allocated to me. The moment I noticed, a ninth card smoothly slid into view on the far right.
What the…? The card was hidden?
I quietly glanced at the creature. It gave me a small, sly smile and a tiny nod. I reached out and took the newly appeared card on the far right.
In that instant—
FLASH!
Brilliant light burst from the card.
“Whoa!”
The blinding radiance forced me to cover my face and step back. A voice reached my ears.
Wow! Congratulations! You have drawn a five-star class! I sincerely hope you make full use of your class to survive in this world!!
The creature's excited voice gradually grew distant as I returned to reality.
When I came to my senses, I saw Seong-man and Ji-su standing there staring blankly into space. Soon they snapped out of it too and spoke in startled voices.
“W-what the hell was that… Class? Did I just pick a class? What is this…”
“What was that weird monster thing? A dream? What just happened?”
The two of them looked around in confusion.
And then—
Kiiiiieeeeeeeeek—!!
With an ear-piercing shriek, the PC bang door burst open and three green monsters rushed inside.
