Skipping the Tutorial (1): Can You Fuck Angels?
Conclusion first: yes, it's possible. Angels have tits and pussies—they're beings fully capable of fucking humans. Not just standard man-on-woman action, either; for female heroes, they can temporarily shapeshift into whatever dick they desire. There were even oddballs with peculiar kinks where the angel turned into a futanari for the hero to pound, or vice versa.
Does that make angels the heroes' sex slaves? Hell no. To angels, heroes are just pests they have to politely address out of obligation—unless the Demon King's forces are steamrolling everything, there's no reason to treat them as equals. Some angels smile to your face calling you "Hero-nim" only to sneer "inferior creature" behind your back.
There are plenty of ways to fuck those kinds of angels, and one of the easiest is using Goddess Points.
"S-so, you're saying you want to use Goddess Points to... have sex with me?"
"That's right."
Estiel panicked. I'd figured she'd at least half-expected it when I first mentioned picking Sex Level Up, but surprisingly, her face flushed bright red as she started freaking out.
"W-wait a second. You mean... with me? Sex?"
"Why? Can't bring yourself to fuck a worthless dead human like me?"
"No, that's not it...!"
Odd. Just touching her body once would let me snag Goddess Points on the cheap.
Goddess Points. These were essentially the Goddess's divine power. When a hero spends them, they get handed over to the attending angel. And those points don't flow back to the Goddess—they let the angel rank up into something greater. Naturally, angels will do anything to suck up as many points as cheaply as possible. After all, everything a hero gets with Goddess Points comes from heavenly resources.
Take spending 1 Goddess Point on something like the divine spear Bryunak, for example. Sure, letting a holy weapon gather dust in heaven's warehouse isn't ideal, but handing it to a hero introduces risks. What if the hero dies and the Demon King's forces capture it? The spear corrupts into a demonic one, endangering heroes and boosting the enemy. From heaven's perspective, they have to be cautious about what they hand out for Goddess Points.
Of course, points are so damn hard to earn in the first place that rejecting a hero's request outright is off the table. But using 1 Goddess Point just for a fuck with an angel? Any decent angel would bend over a tree and spread her legs on the spot—no questions asked. It benefits their promotion system and heaven's resource management.
"Uh, um... s-sex, you say."
But what was this? The blatantly flustered reaction.
"What's wrong? Got some reason you can't fuck? Oh, do you have another angel lover or something?"
All angels are female. A lover would mean lesbian from a human perspective. Politics aside, no partner wants their significant other fucking coworkers, even if it's "just business." And pissing off an angel... gets messy in all sorts of ways.
"If that's it, I apologize."
"N-no, it's not that. I've never had a lover to begin with."
"Hm?"
"S-sex... ahem. Well... I've never done it."
Estiel cleared her throat awkwardly and averted her gaze.
"If by 'sex' you mean copulation through the union of male and female genitals."
"That's what sex is. What, is there another kind?"
"...Eating chicken?"
Fair point. Sometimes people call devouring tasty food "sex." But that's just a metaphor—not the real deal.
"Hold up. So you've never fucked a guy?"
"Forget guys—I've never done any sexual acts at all."
"Why not?"
"Why, you ask..."
Estiel crossed her arms, looking faintly annoyed.
"Angels aren't a species that reproduces through sex to begin with."
"But other angels fuck heroes like crazy?"
"W-well, that's..."
"I've heard in other factories, angels ride hunter cocks left and right to motivate them against the Demon King's army. Oh, you didn't know?"
It was a bit unusual, but still.
"I know. It's just... I'm more interested in other things than sex."
"Other things?"
"I like books."
Estiel scratched her cheek and spoke up.
"Heaven has libraries, and I love reading and building knowledge. That's how I even became a Tutorial Factory manager."
"Makes sense."
Tutorial Factory manager. Like a drill sergeant at boot camp. And those guys? Once you graduate, you forget them entirely.
"So you've never had sex?"
"Correct."
"How old are you?"
Unfortunately, it had been a decade since I'd last seen Estiel. Once I graduated the factory and became a full hero, my assigned angel changed. Right now, it was like I'd finished my eight-year reserves stint, regressed back to boot camp, and was chatting with the drill sergeant again.
"...Strictly speaking, angel and human ages differ, and average lifespans vary between species, so judging by absolute time is clearly erroneous."
"In human years?"
"...And how old are you, Hero-nim?"
"Regressors always fudge it to suit them. Twenty-two—plus ten."
"In that case..."
Estiel brazenly lifted her chin.
"Pleased to meet you. I'm Estiel, twenty-two years old."
"Ain't that a bit much?"
"You know about elves—two hundred twenty elf years is..."
"Yeah, yeah. Two thousand two hundred or twenty-two thousand, who gives a shit. Point is, you're a total noob."
"A-a noob...!"
Whether I'd hit the nail on the head or the crude word stung, I couldn't tell.
"W-watch your language...!"
Estiel's face burned even redder as she snapped at me.
"I just wasn't interested in sex!"
"Then get interested starting now."
"What?"
"You can learn by fucking me."
I stripped off my shirt and pointed down below.
"It's one of the ways to grow as a hero anyway. You know that, right? I've already used my first Goddess Point on that exact thing—with restrictions."
"W-well, yes..."
"Sex with non-demons boosts my mana. The more I fuck, the stronger I get, yeah?"
The principle was "Divine Authority." The Goddess's power had basically rewritten the world's laws: "Hero Yoo Si-woo gains mana from sex with non-demons." Typically, these authorities work by absorbing ambient mana into your body upon ejaculation. That's the phenomenon. And I'd decided to use one such miracle on sex with Estiel.
"No reason it can't happen, right? Or is there another issue?"
"I-it's not that... Yes, there is!"
"What?"
"It's too wasteful to spend Goddess Points on sex with me!"
Oh ho. Pretty convincing. Probably closer to her real feelings.
"So you're saying there's better uses for those points than burning one on a single fuck?"
"Yes! If you don't want your regressor status exposed, pick one of my recommended items! Though they're only seventh-rank angel level, so there might be limits..."
"If I were gunning for that, I'd just reveal I'm a regressor and snag weapons from the archangels."
"......"
Michael's flaming greatsword or Gabriel's ice spear, say.
"I've thought about it, but that'd blow my regressor cover to the higher-ups. I'd rather avoid angels grilling me endlessly about what happened than chase that."
"Sigh... So..."
"Even assuming they don't catch on now, I still think this is more valuable than whatever archangels could offer."
"......Sex with me?"
"Yes."
"For real?"
"I stake my regression on it."
At least that much was true.
"There's this internet meme: What won't a guy do for sex? Lie, murder, even die."
"......"
"Bit early to say it, but this fuck has my entire future riding on it."
Not just lust talking.
"Estiel. I've died once—no, twice. Three times if you count pre-regression. I've crunched the numbers. This is the most 'rational' conclusion."
"Sex with me?"
"Exactly."
"......"
Estiel fell silent.
"Estiel. Nothing's gonna happen during the tutorial anyway, right?"
"Well, true, but..."
"You think those kids'll grow if I jump in now? Nah. A regressor carry can't boost the whole factory's hunters much. That's why the chief angels hunt them down immediately."
"......"
"So we'll fuck in the meantime. Boost my mana, specifically. And hey, there's a bored beauty right here with nothing to do during tutorial."
"...Understood."
After deep thought, Estiel nodded and raised her hand.
"No matter how I look at it, using Goddess Points on sex is way too inefficient and wasteful."
"That's—"
"So."
Estiel's voice trembled slightly as she glanced at me, fiddling with her hand.
"Let me handle one round like this instead. Then you can think about it more coolly...?"
"......Hm."
I see. Her guard's up tight. Virgin thing, probably. If she'd been a regular sex-loving angel, I'd have had her sneaking into my room off-duty to mana-farm nonstop. But this worked too.
The point of angel sex was binding my assigned angel to prioritize me exclusively in "relations with other heroes."
"Fine. Give it a shot."
"Then..."
Estiel swallowed hard and reached for my pants.
"Pardon the intrusion, Hero-nim."
