Chapter Title: Choi Ju-eun
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"...What!"
Her attack had been blocked. Why? She was A-rank.
"Where the hell did this one pop out from? China again?"
"Hmm... but her Korean's too good for that."
The two women blocking her were casually chatting as they prepared for battle. The aura radiating from them... at the very least, both were B-rank or higher. One of them felt like she was on her level.
"We can just capture her first and ask questions later."
"Ugh, this is so annoying. If it weren't for this bitch, Yun and I would've..."
The woman with the radiant golden blonde hair glared at Choi Ju-eun with irritation. She'd been emitting an aura rivaling her own ever since she arrived.
Why, why were there women like this...!
"Eek♥ Nooo, I don't wanna go again♥"
The sweet moan drifting from up ahead melted her reason away. That should have been her position. She should have been the one there!
"You... you're the ones with Yun!!"
"...What? How do you know that?"
Han Yu-rim and Ju Hana weren't exactly thrilled with the situation either. Some random woman popping out of nowhere and daring to utter Yun's name.
"Guess we'll have to lop off an arm or two before we talk."
"Try it if you can!"
Cold air spread from Choi Ju-eun's fingertips. In an instant, an ice blade formed. Gripping it, she kicked off the ground and charged at Ju Hana.
She was outnumbered, so she had to take out the relatively weaker one first...!
"Where do you think you're going?"
With a scoff, Ju Hana's body rippled and vanished. In her place, a shadow crumbled powerlessly to the ground.
"...Tch!"
Choi Ju-eun clicked her tongue once before twisting her waist to dodge Han Yu-rim's incoming attack.
But Ju Hana's follow-up strike came right after. As she ducked low and closed in, a jet-black thorn sprouted from Ju Hana's fingertip, stabbing into Choi Ju-eun's abdomen.
"Hng...!"
The unguarded blow shook her insides for a moment, and Han Yu-rim didn't miss the opening, thrusting her fist wrapped in brilliant light.
Craaaack–.
Ice enveloped Choi Ju-eun's entire body in an instant, blocking Han Yu-rim's fist. Ice spikes thrust out immediately after, targeting her.
"...Hoo."
Like a beam of light—no, actually turning into light itself—Han Yu-rim swiftly pulled back.
"...This isn't working."
In that gap, Ju Hana, who had also retreated slightly, placed her hand on the ground to prepare her next skill.
Shadow soldiers crawled up from the earth. Knights gripping dark blades formed ranks, weapons aimed forward.
"Charge."
At Ju Hana's command, the black army advanced. Choi Ju-eun bit her lip hard as she prepared her next skill, but...
"You've been a pain in the ass this whole time!"
Han Yu-rim, her eyes rolled back in rage, charged from behind, forcing her to bend at the waist to evade.
"Ha-neul, hurry up and join if you're done."
"Haaa... Huh?"
Seong Ha-neul, who had been savoring the afterglow of ravishing Yun and the semen filling her up, finally realized what was happening.
"...What the hell is that bitch?"
"No idea."
Two were already overwhelming, and now this woman was joining in too...! Choi Ju-eun bit her lip again.
But she couldn't back down here. She'd only just found Yun again...!
"Oh, her."
"Huh?"
"?"
"Y'know. The one who used to live with Yun. Same boarding house or whatever?"
The two froze at Seong Ha-neul's words.
"...For real?"
"Yeah. She was an early awakener back then, but only F-rank. When did she grow this much?"
They know me? Choi Ju-eun's movements halted for a split second.
"Then maybe we should talk. Calm down first and..."
"...Don't make me laugh!"
Of course, that didn't erase the crimes they'd committed. If anything, this was her chance. Right now...!
"...I said calm down."
With a sigh, a young boy suddenly flickered into Choi Ju-eun's vision.
"Sis...ter..."
Yun, writhing his body, looking up at her with desperate eyes.
"...Kuh!"
An illusion skill, of all things. By the time Choi Ju-eun realized and looked away, the three women had already surrounded her.
"I said let's talk calmly first, okay? It won't be bad for you either."
"......"
Choi Ju-eun glared at them murderously before...
Thud.
...collapsing to the ground. Though her burning gaze remained unchanged.
"...What do you want to talk about?"
"Hear us out first."
Ju Hana opened her mouth, grinning widely like she'd hooked a big one after so long.
By the time the whole story was done, Choi Ju-eun couldn't believe her ears.
"So... you went off the grid just for one guy, Yun...?"
As much as she hated to say it, until just a few years ago, these women had been seen as prime prospects among awakeners.
Disciples of Na Hye-eun—one of the legendary figures—with mana that had already surpassed most awakeners. Articles speculating on how far their growth would go had poured out by the dozens every day, future career aside.
And the reason they'd suddenly halted all public activity... was just one guy.
"...Is she seriously saying this?"
"Who knows...?"
Of course, after calming down, Choi Ju-eun had explained how she'd ended up here too, so Ju Hana and Seong Ha-neul—who now knew the backstory of her reaching A-rank—could only react with exasperation.
No, they'd all been geniuses among geniuses, grinding endlessly, yet barely scraping past the A-rank wall. And here someone was, skyrocketing to A-rank just because of a guy.
...Come to think of it, there was another one like that. Seong Ha-neul's gaze naturally drifted sideways.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"...This bitch or that one."
Seong Ha-neul sighed at Han Yu-rim with a sour look.
"So, what do we do with her?"
"Huh?"
Ju Hana grinned slyly.
"Obviously, we welcome her. This is great."
"...Welcome what?"
Choi Ju-eun asked with a dubious expression.
"You're not planning to give up on Yun from now on, right?"
"Of course not... but why?"
Even now, she wanted to grab Yun and run far away. The amnesia was a shock, but she could fill his head with good memories from here on out.
The problem was that each of these women was a tough opponent. Even one would take her life to handle—three was insane.
"No team or guild affiliation yet?"
"Yeah, but... why do you keep asking?"
Were they rubbing it in? As irritation built and her tone sharpened, Ju Hana giggled and waved her hand.
"Obviously for this. Yun."
"Y-Yes?"
Sado Yun, who had been dragged over and quietly listening, startled and replied in a high-pitched voice.
"Why don't you try using [Subjugate] on this big sister here too?"
"O-Okay..."
Yun fidgeted with his fingers hesitantly.
"I-It won't work well..."
"Then how about taking her virginity first?"
"I-I'll do it...! It only takes a second...!"
Yun cleared his throat with a cough.
"A-Ahem... [Subjugate]"
A sweet voice laced with mana flowed out, soon linking their bodies with a surge of power.
"...What?"
"What else?"
Choi Ju-eun looked around. A different aura emanated from them now. Like... they were connected somehow.
"You've become another owner sharing the same slave."
"Guess we'll have to film a new video later."
At Ju Hana's mutter, Yun shrank back slightly.
"How about we all film together right here?"
"Huh? Here? Not a bad idea. Got the camera?"
"Brought it."
"......!"
Yun frantically shook his head, but his owners had already decided to film.
[#Take 1]
Kzzzt, kzzzt–.
"Come on, introduce yourself."
"I-I'm... 000..."
A young boy, masked and giving a name with the audio censored, introducing himself.
"What are you doing today?"
"T-Today, I'm gonna have outdoor exposure sex with my owners..."
As he said, he was in a grassy field under a clear blue sky, the scent of grass almost wafting through the screen.
To an outsider, it would look like a natural shot up in the mountains.
"So, what first?"
A woman sidled up to him. Her face was fully mosaiced, but her unrealistically perfect body stirred envy in the viewers.
"F-First..."
The boy slowly stripped off his clothes. Shorts and t-shirt off, revealing smooth, bare white skin with nothing underneath.
Of course, eyes were drawn more to the disproportionately massive cock dangling between his legs, unfit for his small frame.
"And next?"
"Th-Thank you for letting my worthless dick impregnate you again today..."
The boy pressed his forehead to the grass, prostrating flat.
[Paid content starts here.]
"...Fuck!"
Four videos uploaded one day by a sudden level 1 account. Every woman who saw them said the same.
There might be those who hadn't seen them once, but never anyone who saw them only once.
"...This is making money."
"Yeah. No need to hit gates anymore."
"Mmm... Yun, use your tongue harder."
"Y-Yes, nyah..."
"Ju-eun, you're adapting pretty quick too, huh...?"
