-Rip...
"Ugh... hng... I never imagined I'd actually have to tear one of these for real..."
The sensation of ripping through a hymen was something I'd grown all too familiar with after all this time.
Normally chaste virgins driven mad by lust, pinning me down and shattering their own purity—it had become such a routine sight that it was starting to feel boring.
'Ugh... hng...'
I just wanted to give up on everything now.
Why? Why the hell?
What had I done wrong to deserve this shit over and over?
I did well, didn't I? I was the Hero, risked my life to defeat even a Transcendent Being.
Shouldn't that mean I did a good job?
So why was I getting this humiliation instead of a reward?
'I hate it... I hate everything now...'
I hated being violated.
I hated sex.
I hated women, hated a world where this was the only way to live.
-Twitch... twitch...
Even cornered like this mentally, the pleasure forcibly injected into me started rising from my dick, tainting my brain.
Brain chemicals flooding in, preparing to spray seed into the woman before me—had it ever felt this filthy?
My body wouldn't even let me wallow in sorrow anymore; I was starting to feel utter disgust toward it.
'...Is there any point in keeping on like this?'
If my life was just going to be this anyway,
even if I somehow escaped this situation and returned to Earth, would anything change?
I'd have to hide my face forever, holed up in my house—so escaping here just to live like that?
..........
"Whoa there. That's far enough."
"Eep?!"
"Same as ever, suicidal Hero. You used to beg me to kill you, and now in this world, you've finally mustered the courage to do it yourself?"
-Grip...
"I won't stop you from clenching those teeth harder... but you know what happens if you drink my blood, right?"
Before I knew it, the Vampire Lord's finger had slipped into my mouth, wedged between my tongue and teeth.
...Why?
Couldn't I even die on my terms now?
Why wouldn't anyone let me control my own body, my own life?
'...'
The rare pleading voice of the Saintess echoing in my head.
Had she not expected me to be pushed this far?
'...I can't find a reason to keep living.'
Honestly, I had no idea anymore.
Ask if I wanted to die, and I didn't know.
Ask if I wanted to live, and still no clue.
Living on like this would just be more of the same.
Couldn't do what I wanted, just get fucked all day—any reason for that?
"Back in the day, I'd have welcomed you dying alone with open arms, even promised to turn you into my direct kin if you wished... but if you pull that now, wouldn't I feel cheated, Hero?"
"...."
"Pfft... pfahahaha! Masterpiece. Absolute masterpiece. Shame I can't show this to Erdel. I should've made sure to let that bitch see it right in front of her."
From the way she kept calling me "Hero" and reminiscing about the past, it seemed she didn't know I had no memories from that world.
From what I gathered, my life there had been pretty hellish too.
...Well, it was a world at war, so that figured.
"Still, familiarity breeds some fondness, so I'll tell you this: I have no intention of letting you die now."
"...Huh."
"Hng... Letting a prime stud like you go to waste would be too big a loss. Even if you die, I'll revive you as kin, so keep that in mind."
'...Ha.'
They really came up with everything.
Even death wasn't an escape anymore.
The world seemed to scream at me to live and get fucked by women.
...Or maybe it really was.
Like the Saintess said, the karma crammed into this body was enough to twist causality.
This body—my body—might really be doing this to me.
-Squelch...
"Hm... Even just visually, it's a work of art, but this lukewarm reaction is getting a bit stale."
"..."
"Still, those little twitches show your body's honest... Maybe I should try a trick or two."
She left those ominous words and leaned down, bringing her face close to mine.
I stared blankly, wondering if she was going for a kiss, but her head veered slightly to the side of mine.
"A guy this short makes positioning a real hassle."
The moment I sensed something sinister—
-Slurp...
"Ngh?!"
A slick, fleshy sensation on my nape drew out an involuntary groan.
"Consider it an honor. Normally, I just sink my fangs in, but licking first is only for showing respect to a lady."
Her added "Though it hardly makes a difference either way" barely registered.
From the situation, she was about to sink her fangs into my neck.
And vampires sinking fangs meant...
-Crunch
"Ngh!"
"Hold still."
Before I could say anything, a brief sting flared at my nape.
I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for blood being sucked out, but what followed was slightly different.
More like something flowing into me.
Not painful, but not pleasant either—an ambiguous feeling that kept me from even frowning, just staring blankly into space as my mind grew hazy.
Like smoke swirling through my head, the sensation passed, and when I opened my eyes again—
-Freeze
"How's that? Starting to take effect?"
The woman who'd only disgusted me moments ago now looked stunningly beautiful for some reason.
...Not sure if this phrasing fit, but
she looked lovable.
"Ah...?"
"Not quite succubus-level, but vampires can manage this much. Proper brainwashing aside, this charm will last a few hours before fading."
-Thump thump
My heart started pounding.
Like the first time feeling love, the fluttering sensation swept down from my brain, enveloping my body.
"Why not try saying you love me? You could right now."
I knew it was insane just hearing it, knew it rationally too,
yet
"I... love you."
My mouth moved on its own.
I could feel my body unable to refuse her request.
"Pfft... pfahahaha! What a masterpiece. Truly a shame Erdel can't see this. I really should've shown it to her right in her face."
She probably didn't know Erdel was watching this live.
Erdel's reaction ringing in my head in real time was...
-Grind...
Her teeth grinding so fiercely it might shatter them.
"Come on, your loving girlfriend's right here. What are those arms doing idle?"
"...Aah..."
-Squeeze♥
No conscious effort to stop it—my hands moved on their own, pulling her slender waist close,
and from that small act, immense happiness and fulfillment welled up.
"Oh? Even if it's fake fulfillment from charm, that bright expression feels nice. Quite the delicacy."
Meeting her red eyes felt like being sucked in, endless bliss rising.
Rationally, I knew this emotion was fabricated,
but the forced feeling overrode that effortlessly.
"Then... shall we try some sweet, tender lover's sex? I'll play along, so join in."
-Rip...
"Can't wait to see you scream once the charm wears off."
With that, she started moving her hips again, which had mostly stayed still after insertion.
My body, which had recoiled in revulsion at any woman moments ago, now creaked in confusion, accepting the pleasure she gave.
-Slap!
"Hng..."
"Ngh... ngh..."
Soon, our moans echoed through the Demonic Cult's warehouse.
If a guard heard and came in, it'd be a disaster, but that didn't matter now.
Insane notions of overcoming it with the power of love had long dominated my mind.
How long had we gazed into each other's eyes, indulging in pleasure?
"...Hah."
"Ngh."
We naturally brought our lips together, no one leading.
For me, maybe, but how immersed in the act was she to react like this? Didn't matter.
What mattered was kissing the woman I loved.
We devoured each other ravenously, tongues entwining for ages.
The heat between us spread, our gazes trembling faintly, growing intense—
Instinctively sensing climax, we clutched each other's waists tight,
-Spurt! Splurt!!
"Nngh...!!"
-Twitch! Twitch!
My semen flooding her depths and her shuddering orgasm happened almost simultaneously.
"Haa... haa... Y-you... your technique isn't bad. How much of a manwhore did you turn into while I wasn't looking..."
"...."
-Tremble...
The aftershocks of her first climax lingered; her arms around me still shook.
Quite a pitiful sight for the woman who'd arrogantly pinned and tried to rape me earlier.
Thinking about it, this was the normal reaction for a virgin.
I had experience from being under women—how to thrust deeper, mix tongues better, etc.
She had nothing but bare-minimum knowledge: shake hips.
Unless she was a monstrous woman who innately knew techniques to make men writhe or absorbed them instantly, this was normal.
And whether from virginity or her nature, she was sensitive—pausing with twitches mid-motion.
Her clumsy technique made the pleasure approach gently, unlike usual violent crashes.
Honestly, the gentlest, tamest sex I'd had yet.
Was it the pleasure chemicals churning my brain?
Just as I wondered if the emotions filling my head were purely forced or had even a speck of real feeling—
-Chill!
A voice dark with pure murderous intent exploded in my head,
and
-Whoosh...
"...Huh?"
White energy leaked from the shop window, gathering in midair to form a shape.
"...What the—?!"
-Leap!
-Shing!!!
Before fully forming a human shape, it swung a spear at Barshutain.
And once fully formed, the figure that appeared was...
"...Er...del?"
"Hero. Wake up."
-Grind...
"Now."
Different from her usual self.
Erdel, brimming with genuine killing intent.
