Awakening from the Rampage
I'm so glad you're awake.
After the three women finally managed to restrain and calm Si-yoon from his sudden rampage, he collapsed onto the bed and remained unconscious. He had not stirred for two full days.
"How is Master doing? Is he still asleep?"
"Yeah… It's already been two days."
The five slaves had halted all hero-hunting operations to nurse Si-yoon, anxiously waiting for him to wake.
"I wish there was something we could do for him… but there's nothing."
"At least his face looks peaceful. That's a relief."
Si-yoon had been sleeping soundly with a relaxed expression for over two days now. Even after an ability rampage subsided, the aftereffects could last anywhere from a few hours to several days depending on the person. All they could do was monitor his condition and wait.
Knowing that waiting was the only option, the women stayed by his side without leaving for days.
"By the way… the magical girls on the third floor still haven't woken up either?"
"No… Thankfully, their physical condition doesn't seem bad."
The two magical girls that Rui-lin and Chae-ryeong had captured together also remained unconscious since the day Si-yoon collapsed.
Since Si-yoon had ordered them to take good care of the girls until they woke, Ji-woo had been making soup filled with Do-hwa's breast milk and feeding it to both Si-yoon and the two girls.
"Mmm…"
"M-Master?! Master just made a sound…!"
The moment a faint noise escaped Si-yoon's lips after hours of silent sleep, all five women turned their eyes toward his face at once.
Si-yoon's eyelids, which had been shut for over two days, began to twitch. The muscles in his previously motionless face slowly started to move. Then his slightly dry, stiff lips parted, and the first words slipped out.
"Ugh… My back hurts."
The women cried out in joy and rushed to throw themselves into his arms all at once.
"Oppa?!" "Master?!"
Startled awake by the sudden pile-on, Si-yoon sat up and gently patted the five sobbing women who were clinging to him.
"What… what's going on? Why are you all like this?"
"Master… We thought you might never wake up… We were so scared…!"
"Oppa… *hic*… I'm so glad you're awake…!"
Ji-woo and Rui-lin wailed as if someone had died, while Rumi and Do-hwa silently shed tears. Chae-ryeong, the moment Si-yoon opened his eyes, let out a sigh of relief and began licking his face with her tongue.
Si-yoon could remember up to the point when he had taken Rui-lin as his slave and brought her to his room to taste her, but everything after the rampage was a blank. He had no idea what had happened.
Still, the women's intense reactions made it clear that something serious had occurred.
"Hey… listen. I didn't die, okay? I'm right here, so everyone calm down."
Si-yoon patted Ji-woo and Rui-lin's backs while wiping Rumi and Do-hwa's tears with his sleeve, trying to soothe them.
"So… can someone explain what happened to me?"
"Oppa… *hic*… You… you… *hic*!"
Rui-lin raised her hand to explain, but she was still too emotional and kept hiccuping.
"Uh… Chae-ryeong. Can you explain? The last thing I remember is being with you and Rui-lin."
"After you made Rui-lin your slave… do you remember taking us to your room to reward us?"
"Yeah. Everything after that is gone. I just woke up here."
"When you were pumping so much cum into Rui-lin, your breathing suddenly got rough… and then you went 'Grrrgh…!' and pounced on me while I was still dripping!"
"Grrrgh…? I did that?"
"Nya! It seems your ability went out of control, Master."
"Ability rampage… huh."
Si-yoon had never been an ability user before, so he only knew that rampages were possible in theory.
"Me and Ji-woo, who went to the mart, both had our stomachs completely filled with Master's cum…♥ We were bloated for over three hours!♥ Hehe…♥"
"Three… three hours? Usually it only takes about thirty minutes to absorb…?"
Normally, it took anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour for a slave to fully absorb one of Si-yoon's loads. But because the volume and concentration during the rampage had been so extreme, the three women had lain on the bed for over three hours just processing it all.
"Sorry, everyone. I never thought something like this would happen."
"It's fine! It's only natural for Master to use us however he wants."
"Nya! Actually, it felt amazing! That feeling like my belly was about to burst…♥"
"We were more worried that you might not wake up at all."
Si-yoon scratched his head, feeling guilty. The three women who had taken his cum beyond their limits blushed and said it had felt good, while Rumi and Do-hwa simply nodded, relieved that he was finally awake.
"You're not hurt anywhere, right?"
"Just a little stiff from lying down so long. Everything else feels fine."
Si-yoon rolled his shoulders and neck, checking his body. Far from feeling pain, he actually felt lighter and more energized than before.
'They must've had a rough time. I'll let them rest for now… and reward them properly later.'
Normally, the women would have started begging for cum or slyly rubbing their breasts and hips against him the moment he woke. But after staying up for two days without proper food or sleep, they looked exhausted, with no energy left even to suck him off.
"You all stayed up watching over me for two days. You must be exhausted. Go to your rooms and rest. We'll pause hero-hunting for a while."
"No… why the hell did I collapse for two whole days? Seriously…"
After sending the women who had nursed him off to rest, Si-yoon stood alone in the bathroom brushing his teeth, deep in thought about the cause of the rampage.
"Maybe I should look it up online."
He pulled out his smartphone and searched "ability rampage" on the portal site. Results ranged from news articles about rampages during hero-villain battles, to clickbait blog posts that ended with nothing but angry emoticons, to forum threads filled with fabrications and nonsense.
Not a single piece of useful information appeared.
"Come on… not this stuff. Isn't there anything about the cause?"
He kept changing the search terms, but the site only kept showing more clickbait posts.
"Ugh… This is exactly why you can't trust the internet."
Frustrated by the lack of real information, he put the phone down and rinsed the toothpaste from his mouth and toothbrush.
"There are plenty of former heroes and villains around… Maybe I should just ask them directly?"
Wiping the water from his lips with his sleeve, Si-yoon stepped into the living room and spotted Do-hwa sitting comfortably at the table, stuffing her face with a huge pile of bread.
'What…? She never eats stuff like bread at this hour.'
Do-hwa usually avoided high-calorie foods, claiming she had to maintain her figure. But after barely eating for days while caring for Si-yoon, her appetite seemed to have exploded now that the tension had finally broken.
With a playful grin, Si-yoon tapped her shoulder, knowing she thought she was alone.
"Sorry to interrupt your meal, Do-hwa. Mind if I ask you something?"
"Eek?! M-Master?"
Do-hwa jumped in surprise, her face flushing red with embarrassment as she quickly set down the bread she had been chewing.
"Go ahead and eat. You must be hungry."
Though embarrassed that Si-yoon had seen this side of her, he found it rather cute and smiled.
"Oh! I wanted to ask… do you know what causes an ability to rampage?"
Si-yoon repeated the question he had been meaning to ask while she resumed chewing.
"Ah! There are three main reasons. Either you're mentally unstable, you've overused your ability all at once, or it's a precursor symptom that happens when your ability is about to undergo some kind of change."
"Really? I wasn't feeling unstable or pushing myself…"
"Then… maybe it's the third one? Your power is probably undergoing a wonderful transformation!"
"Is that… so? Well… I guess we'll find out if I open the system."
Taking Do-hwa's words to heart, Si-yoon opened the Corruption System to check if anything had actually changed.
> Welcome, Owner Ha Si-yoon of <Corruption System V2>.
> New update available. Would you like to view it?
"Corruption System… V2? New update?"
The name now displayed "V2," indicating the second version, and the system was prompting him to check the new update details.
'Of course I should check it. I've been lying around doing nothing for two days because of this.'
Determined to get something out of the situation that had forced him to stay in bed and worried his slaves, Si-yoon clicked the message.
