Stats From a Night of Passion

I opened my eyes. Once again, light was streaming in through the PC bang windows. According to plan, I should have left yesterday, but after acquiring my sub-class, I had decided to stay one more day to raise Ji-su's stats as much as possible. That was why I was ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠greeting yet another morning in this place.

I turned my head and found Ji-su nestled in my arms, staring up at me with wide, round eyes.

"Jesus, you scared me. Why are you lying there with your eyes wide open? Oh, right. I never told you to close them."

I kicked off the blanket and sat up.

"Ah, fuck. My back is killing me. How many times did we even go at it…"

I sat there rubbing my lower back. From yesterday all the way through dawn this morning, I had fucked her nonstop, channeling life force into her with Siphon Hand. My back and body were wrecked as a result. It was a good thing my strength and stamina stats had risen; otherwise I would have tapped out long ago.

After leveling Siphon Hand to 2, the mana cost per use had dropped from 7 to 6. My total mana pool sat at 45. In theory I could fire it off seven times straight, but even if I died and came back to life, seven rounds in a row was impossible. So I fucked her once, rested, fucked her again, rested, repeating the cycle. My mana kept recovering during the breaks, so I never felt like I was running dry. The real limiter was the HP drain. Every time the thought ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠This should be enough, right? crossed my mind, I shook my head and steeled myself. Raising Ji-su's stats was directly tied to my survival. I couldn't afford to get complacent. So I kept pounding away.

…To be honest, every time I thought I'd done enough, the sight of her naked body would get me hard again and I'd end up jumping her once more.

Anyway, from yesterday until now the total count was a solid twelve rounds. The stat gains from leveling up combined with the buff from my Sex Supporter class were the only reasons I'd managed it. By the final rounds I was barely producing semen and my balls felt like they were on fire. I'd passed out with both mana and HP nearly empty.

When I checked my own status, both pools had recovered somewhat. I pulled up Ji-su's window as well.

Heh… All that hip thrusting through the night was worth it.

Ji-su's base stats had skyrocketed. Every single one had risen by around twenty points on average. Compared to mine, they were two to three times higher.

With numbers like these, she could probably take that hulking monster one-on-one and win.

My back still ached and my body felt heavy, but I had gained a bodyguard on par with—or even stronger than—that giant brute. Grinning like an idiot, I reached out and stroked Ji-su's hair.

"From now on, you stand in front and protect me, got ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠it? You did nothing but trashy shit before, so it's time to pay me back properly. Understand?"

Ji-su remained perfectly silent. I made a mental note to grow strong enough to unlock the Form Restoration skill as soon as possible.

I peeled back the blanket, wiped myself down with wet wipes, and got dressed. Watching Ji-su clean her naked body made my cock twitch again—after twelve rounds yesterday!—but I forced it down. My underwear and clothes were the same ones I'd worn for days, and relying only on wet wipes left me feeling disgusting. Once we got outside I'd need to find real solutions to these problems.

After finishing preparations, I ate some bread and downed a drink to quiet my stomach. Ji-su simply watched me in silence.

"You're a corpse so you don't eat. That's a relief. Food isn't exactly plentiful. If both of us were eating it would've run out fast. Right?"

Still no response. I finished the last of the bread and drink and stood up.

When I stepped out through the Gate of Rest, Ji-su followed. I closed the gate and it faded away with a soft shimmer.

Quite a bit of time must have passed. The inside of the PC bang reeked. The hulking corpse and the scattered body parts had begun to rot, filling the air with a nauseating stench. I clamped a hand over my nose at the overwhelming odor.

Fucking hell, it's putrid. I couldn't smell anything inside the Cradle of Rest. I'm gonna puke.

Pinching my nose, I approached the giant's corpse. Before heading outside I needed to gear up properly. I picked up the massive club lying beside the body. Trying to lift it one-handed nearly made me drop it; I had to let go of my nose and use both hands before I could even raise the thing.

Whoa, how many kilos is this? Has to be at least thirty.

I called Ji-su over and handed her the club. She took it with one hand.

One hand. Well, her strength stat is three times mine.

Feeling the results of all that vigorous hip work from yesterday and today once more, I gave her an order.

"Swing it."

The club cut through the air with a deep whoosh. It moved faster and carried far more power than when the hulking monster had used it.

"Wow. One hit from that and you'd just explode. Our little Ji-su has gotten a lot stronger, huh? Remember it's all thanks to me working this piston so hard. So treat me even better from now on. Got it?"

I chuckled, but with no reaction from her the joke fell flat.

Tsk. The second I get skill points, I'm dumping them into Form Restoration.

Grumbling, I picked up the burlap sack and the spear I'd made by taping a dagger to a pole. The tape was frayed from battle, but I'd rewrapped it carefully. It was my trusty, repaired weapon.

Ji-su will handle most of the fighting, but I still need to protect myself.

All preparations were finally complete. I was leaving this wretched PC bang at last.

Looking at Ji-su standing there with the club, I said, "You, the strong one, walk in front. Weak little me will follow behind. Understand?"

I sent her ahead and followed a few steps back as we slowly descended the PC bang stairs. Even with my protector in front of me, my heart wouldn't stop pounding.

We reached the ground floor, opened the building's front door, and stepped outside. The direct sunlight I'd avoided for so long was blinding. As my eyes adjusted, the surroundings gradually came into focus.

"Wow… it's completely fucked."

The streets were a disaster zone. This had been a busy entertainment district, so corpses lay everywhere. I pinched my nose again.

Shit. The smell doesn't magically disappear just because we're outside.

The stench of rotting bodies hung thick in the air. Not a single corpse was intact. They were either torn to pieces or missing multiple limbs.

Do the monsters eat them? I was hoping to find one decent enough to raise as another meat shield, but I don't see any. Damn.

Raising Rise to level 3 let me summon one additional thrall. Every new body would become part of my combat strength, so I'd planned to raise any suitable corpse I found. Looked like that plan was falling apart right from the start.

If I'd had the derived skill Form Restoration, I might have been able to restore damaged corpses to how they looked while alive, but I didn't have it yet. Oh well.

Tsk. Can't be helped. Even with just Ji-su, my forces are already more than enough.

Not every corpse was human. Monster bodies were scattered among them here and there.

Well, everyone received a class. Some humans must have fought back. Still, why is it so quiet? Have all the monsters and survivors moved on?

Ji-su and I ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠stayed alert as we walked slowly between the bodies. No matter which way I looked, I saw neither survivors nor monsters.

Wait. There they were. About a hundred meters ahead in the direction we were heading, something green was wriggling on the ground. A group of green monsters huddled together, apparently eating something.

As we drew closer I counted seven of them.

In a tense voice I told Ji-su, "Seven pathetic little monsters, Ji-su. Think you can handle them alone? I'm counting on you."

I prepared to open the Gate of Rest and bolt if things went south. If I died it was game over, but Ji-su was already dead. She couldn't die again. Any injuries I could fix with Siphon Hand.

The creatures noticed our approach and rose with wet, clicking sounds. A human corpse lay at their feet.

So they really do eat human bodies. Finding an intact one is going to be harder than I thought.

While I was thinking, the monsters gripped their daggers and charged. Seven against two humans—they clearly weren't afraid.

I gave the order. "Kill them all."

The moment the command left my mouth, Ji-su shot forward like an arrow. She closed the distance in the blink of an eye. The monsters flinched at her sudden appearance and swung their weapons wildly.

Ji-su swung her massive club in a wide horizontal arc.

Whoooosh.

The club tore through the air with a horrifying sound, kicking up a cloud of dust. A wet, meaty crunch followed as the four green monsters caught in its path exploded into chunks.
