1. The Interview, Part 2
"I'm sorry?"
At the completely unexpected remark, I lifted the head I'd had slightly bowed and looked up at Team Leader Kim Manseok.
He adjusted his glasses and went on.
"We called you to this seat because we mean to make you an Omniscient. You've already passed the tests. All that's left is your choice."
"An Omniscient?"
"You're aware that BD Group grew through its investments, I take it?"
I nodded at his question. "Yes, sir. I know that every company BD Group has put money into has hit it big."
"Right. Most of BD Group's revenue comes from investing—buy low, sell high. A company we back develops some new technology, or a new drug, or stumbles onto a service nobody saw coming and rockets to an IPO. Or we develop land in a country whose name you've never even heard and strike rare minerals. Things like that. It was our group that pinpointed oil field after oil field across the vast Manchurian plains. So how do you think we knew all of that?"
The question blindsided me. I blinked, unable to answer, and Team Leader Kim Manseok continued.
"You dream often, don't you? That sense of familiarity... déjà vu. You get that a lot too."
"Yes, I suppose I do, but that's just the brain misfiring—"
Before I could finish, he answered, the corners of his mouth curling upward. "Correct. Most of those are illusions. Ninety-nine point nine percent of the time, you'd be right to call them tricks of the mind. But one in a thousand—no, one in ten thousand—can genuinely see the future. Not that you can tell whether yours is real or imagined, like you. Ordinarily, that talent is of no use whatsoever. But bring it to our company, and everything changes. We can make that ability of yours actually work."
It sounded like pure fantasy, but with the two people seated across from me utterly grave, without a flicker of expression, I did my best to make sense of it all.
"What do you mean, 'actually work'? Can something like that be done through training?"
"If training did it, everyone and his dog would be doing it. If you join us, you'll be given a drug that awakens the ability."
"A drug?"
"Naturally, one you can't get anywhere on the market. It's produced by BD Bio, so you needn't question its safety. After all, plenty of people who took it have been at their night work, perfectly hale, fifty years on."
For some reason my palms had gone damp, and I rubbed them against my trousers as I spoke carefully. "Doesn't 'not available on the market' just mean it's illegal?"
The corners of Team Leader Kim Manseok's mouth lifted again. "Well... it isn't exactly legal, no. But don't worry—it's nothing like narcotics. And the compensation is guaranteed. Twelve years of employment at minimum, with base pay alone starting at 10,000 hwan a year. Depending on how you perform, the bonuses are astronomical. On top of BD Group's benefits—the finest in the Korean Empire, no, in the world—you'll be free to hold as many women as you like, to your taste. What man with a cock between his legs would pass up an opportunity like this?"
I'd been hanging on every word, but that last part made me doubt my own ears. "Hold women?"
"Ah! Do you prefer men? Doesn't matter either way. We can provide regardless of gender."
Flustered, I raised both hands to my chest and waved them, my voice climbing. "Man or woman aside, isn't providing people wrong to begin with?"
Again, the corners of Kim Manseok's mouth curled. "My explanation was insufficient. There's one side effect to awakening the ability: your sexual function becomes extremely active as well. Youngmi?"
At his word, Youngmi looked at me and began to speak. "If you join us, Mr. Choi Juhan, the drug you'll be administered is O-2020. A single injection is all it takes. It draws out your ability, and once that ability manifests, your sexual function is dramatically enhanced. According to every report to date, you'll need to discharge semen at least once every eight hours, and over time your penis and testicles will grow larger as well. It varies from person to person—the testicles typically 10 to 30 percent, the penis 30 to 60 percent, though there are cases of more than double. Additionally, the body of an Omniscient whose ability has manifested is said to secrete a substance that induces sexual arousal in others."
When she finished, Team Leader Kim Manseok picked up where she'd left off. "In other words, you become something like a stud in rut. Let an animal in heat strut around out there, radiating a scent that drives women out of their minds, and incidents are bound to happen. From the company's standpoint, we can't have our precious Omniscients running wild getting into trouble outside—so we make sure it can all be taken care of in-house."
My head spun at content I had never imagined hearing here. "You're asking me to believe all of this, right now?"
Team Leader Kim Manseok turned his head toward Youngmi. "I know it's a hard thing to believe. Then showing you would settle it, wouldn't it? Youngmi?"
Youngmi gave a small nod, moved her mouse, and clicked a few times. On the monitor to the left of my seat at the table, the BD Group logo vanished and the screen changed.
The monitor filled edge to edge with peach. I couldn't place what it was at first, but soon the truth behind all that peach came into focus: a camera filming, head-on, the legs of a woman seated in a chair.
Around the peach stockings, knees pressed together, the gray of a skirt was faintly visible—and in that instant, I remembered the gray skirt and peach stockings I'd seen earlier. My eyes went wide as I turned to Youngmi.
She smiled at my stunned expression. This was, unmistakably, a live feed of her lower half. And then the knees on screen came forward and began to part, little by little.
Even as I felt Youngmi's eyes on me, I couldn't look away from the monitor. As her legs drew apart, light began to reach into that dark center.
The first things to appear along her inner thighs were silver clasps—the peach stockings weren't pantyhose but band-top thigh-highs, joined to a garter belt.
As her legs parted further, black panties came into view. They were made of lace, and shaped nothing like anything I'd have imagined: the part that should have covered the most important region—the center—simply wasn't there. In other words, they were panties designed to leave a woman's sex fully exposed, the lace serving only to frame and adorn her pussy. And so, dead center of my monitor, Youngmi's pussy sat on blatant display.
It was perfectly smooth, without a single hair. Her thick outer lips concealed the interior, but the striking thing was the clitoris jutting out above the crease. I hadn't exactly seen many women's genitals in person, but even across all the porn I'd watched over the years, I couldn't remember a clit sticking out like that. And it was taut, engorged—rigidly erect.
I was absorbed in the woman's lower half when Team Leader Kim Manseok's voice broke in. "Curiously enough, the drug for Omniscients enhances the ability only in men. But in the course of that research, we also developed a drug that develops women sexually. A woman dosed with it gradually becomes a body built to appeal to the male—her breasts, hips, and clitoris develop, her waist cinches in, and she feels pleasure far more keenly. She becomes a bitch who drools cunt-juice at the drop of a hat. That's why we dose our B-Class and S-Class women with the female version. What are you doing, Youngmi? Show him properly and explain."
At that, the legs on screen began to spread wider still. Past 120 degrees, nearing a full 180, her outer lips drew apart, the inner lips that had peeked out were revealed in full, and the hole itself came clearly into view.
The inner folds and the entrance around the hole glistened with sticky fluid. As the pussy spread open, the nectar pooled inside began to slide slowly downward.
"BD Group's B-Class employees are always ready to relieve the appetites of O-Class—that is, you Omniscients. My clitoris stays erect and sticks out like this at all times, and the hole below it as well—"
Youngmi was speaking while looking at me when Team Leader Kim Manseok cut in. "'Clitoris' and 'the hole below'? If you're a bitch in heat, explain it the way a bitch in heat should."
Youngmi bit her lower lip lightly, then began again. "Yes, I'm sorry. I'm Youngmi, a bitch in heat who always wants a cock buried inside her. This bitch in heat wears a Clit Ring so she can feel even more. That's why my little button sticks out, erect, at all times. Every time it brushes against my clothes, my pussy gushes juice. Slick and overflowing, my pussy is ready to take a cock at any moment. Even now, just from being seen, my nipples have snapped straight up. Ahhn~"
"Mr. Juhan, I noticed you staring at my ass from the very start. That look got me so worked up I pushed it out further and swayed it harder. Even walking like that, I was dripping shamelessly the whole way. Ahh~"
At the lewd words and the short moans spilling from the mouth of a woman who had looked the picture of a successful career professional, my little soldier began to stir, and before I knew it I had pressed both hands together over the front of my trousers.
Kim Manseok, having confirmed my reaction, turned to Youngmi. "Youngmi's ass is charming, I'll admit. What size is it?"
"104 centimeters."
"In inches?"
"41 inches."
"That's enormous. Must be hard to find clothes for it."
"Yes, so I only wear stretch fabrics."
"Inconvenient. And yet you work hard at glute exercises to make it even bigger. Why is that?"
"To make cocks hard."
"And what do you want with a hard cock?"
"I want it rammed into my pussy."
"Go on. Say it precisely."
"The reason I train to grow my ass, the reason I go around shaking this enormous ass of mine, is that I want an Omniscient to see it, get hard, and bury his cock in my dripping-wet pussy hole. Mmh~"
"Well?"
Having finished the vulgar little exchange, Kim Manseok looked at me. I swallowed hard and asked, "You're not forcing these women, are you?"
Team Leader Kim Manseok answered without a moment's hesitation. "Force? We do nothing of the sort. Every one of them chose this herself. They go through a process much like yours, and if they want to leave, they can walk out at any time. Unlike the Omniscients' drug, the one given to women isn't permanent. The changes to their bodies can't be undone, sure, but we don't stand in the way of anyone who wants to go back to an ordinary life. They stay because they want to. And I'll tell you one thing—the B-Class base salary is higher than yours. The competition is fiercer than you'd think. The world, it turns out, has no shortage of perverts."
Then he asked Youngmi again—her hand had slipped down at some point, fingers toying with that enormous clitoris. Naturally, her exposed lower half was rendered in perfect detail on the monitor. "Youngmi, don't you ever want to quit?"
"Ahhn... I don't want to quit."
"But you could quit, if you wanted?"
"Yes. But I'm not leaving. Mmm~."
"Why not?"
"Ugh... I can't live without cock."
"Because of cock?"
"Mmmh, yes. My pussy can't last a single day without an Omniscient's cock. Haah~. Please, ram a cock into my filthy pussy now."
Once again, Team Leader Kim Manseok looked at me. "Well?"
"But I've never heard of any of this."
I said it with sidelong glances at the monitor, where Youngmi's hand was moving in ever-larger circles. Team Leader Kim Manseok met my eyes and replied. "The first step is vetting applicants carefully. Someone like me, who can read a person on sight, checks them over and makes the offer. Those who still refuse have their memories erased. If you refuse, everything you've heard today gets wiped as well. There are almost no side effects—the very fact that you've never heard of any of this is proof enough of that. You'd simply go home believing you'd failed the interview. No disadvantage whatsoever; you'd just return to an ordinary life. So, what will it be? Will you join us? Choose now. The choice can't be changed, so think it over carefully."
"Ahh~ Ahhn.. Aaahhhn~"
While I spoke with Team Leader Kim Manseok, Youngmi's upper body had been sinking steadily lower, and she had begun to moan outright. As her posture collapsed—torso dipping down, hips sliding forward off the edge of the chair—the monitor filled with the sight of her juice-overflowing pussy.
For a moment I went back and forth between that pussy brimming over with juice on the screen and Youngmi's face. Then I made up my mind and answered.
"I'll join."
