Career Decision (1)

"Honey, say ah~"

The two of us sat on a park bench, each holding an ice cream of our own.

"Ah."

I took a bite of hers, shivering hard enough to rattle my teeth.

Shin Tae-hee's gaze turned a shade colder. I slipped an arm around her waist and kissed her.

"That's delicious."

"Mmm, heehee~"

She smiled like a woman thoroughly pleased with herself.

"What should we have for dinner?"

"I don't know. Whatever you want is fine with me."

That was when it happened.

KABOOM!

An explosion rolled in from far behind the park.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Shin Tae-hee's pager started screaming.

"Honey, don't you need to go?"

"Hmm? Go where?"

I pointed at the pager.

"That thing keeps going off."

"Huh? What's this?"

A sharp crack. The pager in her hand shattered to pieces in a single instant.

"Ah, it's nothing."

KABOOOOOM!

A second blast, far bigger than the first, came tearing across the park. Off in the distance, a boulder the size of a car came hurtling straight at me.

"AAAAAH!"

I screamed and threw my arms up over my face.

THUD!

Someone stepped in front of me.

"Urgh! What the hell is going on?"

The boulder shattered. Standing in the wreckage was Shin Tae-hee — no. Selectio.

"Why are you and I eating ice cream?"

"Huh? We just came out after taking a bath."

"Did we? Why don't I remember that?"

"Huh? Why did the pager break?"

"That's because you…"

"It must have been destroyed when I blocked the boulder."

"I see. Tch! I'm going to go take out a villain. See you later, friend!"

"Yeah! Work hard!"

Selectio flicked her hand, and her suit poured itself over her body in a rush of light. Then she was gone — a streak vanishing at a speed the eye could barely follow. I watched her back disappear and threw my ice cream on the ground.

"Fuck. How many times have I almost died today?"

The whole day had sucked the life right out of me.

"You fucking bitch! My finger!"

I'd healed it with S-Points, sure. That didn't make it any less horrifying.

That night, Selectio descended into the secret underground bunker beneath her enormous estate. A click of the lights. An empty room in a dark bunker, and in it, Lee Seonghun's finger, sealed under preservation magic. She looked at it and smiled a slow, dripping smile.

Slurp.

"My husband."

Her breath came rough as she worked a slender finger between her legs.

"He's different from other men. A true gentleman who treasures women."

Tears welled faintly in her eyes.

"Why did he only appear now? I've suffered for so long…"

A wet trickle ran down her thighs as she pushed her finger deeper. She handled Seonghun's finger the way a woman handles treasure — precious, careful, almost reverent.

"We'll be together forever, my husband. Hehehe."

At the same hour, back at the research institute, Lee Seonghun was practicing spirit arts with Melquibus when a chill he could not explain crawled through him. He blacked out on the spot.

Several months slipped by like that. I spent them at the lab, drilling martial arts and magic until both sat comfortably in my hands.

"Seonghun, next month is the last of it."

Han Jo-hyun settled into my arms. Her belly had started to round — she was carrying my child. The Doctor and Kang Han-na were the same. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠All three of ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠them had gotten pregnant from sex we'd had before I learned the Golden Cock skill.

"The dimensional traveler protection period is winding down, so I guess it's almost time to say goodbye."

Kang Han-na smiled and stroked my chest.

"Starting next month we're all on full maternity leave, so the lab's going to turn over to a whole new staff."

"Seonghun, I really can't thank you enough. I got to have a baby because of you. Hehe."

The women of this world made children with magic. Actually conceiving the natural way was almost unheard of, and they treated it as an enormous grace — an honor. Magic could get a woman pregnant too, of course, but it was a different creature from a natural pregnancy in every way that mattered. In this world, conceiving naturally was a blessing in itself, and a mountain of benefits and social prestige came riding in behind it. The more women a man knocked up, the higher people ranked him. The men here had a hard enough time getting anyone pregnant even when they wanted to.

"What are you going to do from here? The protection period's over, so you'll have to stand on your own."

The Doctor's question sent me into thought.

"Well, I've got a talent for just about everything, so somewhere like an academy would be a good fit."

"The Hero Academy! That's not a bad idea! The principal is the Ten-Star Mage, Kim Do-jung, so he'd look after you. But you already know that man has his eye on you."

"Yeah."

The three of them were already carrying my children, and their intimacy had climbed to the One Heart rank. I don't want Seonghun put in danger either. These were the women who had kept my cock warm all this time. There was no world in which they wanted me dead.

The second that bastard figured out I had a Golden Aura, he would swallow me whole. He was the kind of man who would do anything — anything at all — to stretch his lifespan and pad his power.

"The academy's a little much. If you're an Ability User, being a hero is the natural move."

"Ah! If we're talking heroes, there's Selectio — the strongest hero in the world! And as it happens, Selectio already called dibs on you."

"Excuse me?"

"She said if you become a hero, she'll take you as her sidekick. Called you her ball-buddy, I think."

God damn it. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. I just want to live a quiet little life of daily debauchery, that's all. The minute I signed up as a hero, Selectio would try to put me on her payroll as a subordinate.

"Then maybe I'll be a Hunter."

"A Hunter? Isn't that a little dangerous?"

"Being a hero is dangerous too."

"They call them Hunters, but they're really just adventurers. No protection, no backup, nothing. The image even overlaps with villains a bit, so a lot of people don't like them. More like mercenaries in a war zone, if you ask me."

Right. I'd obtained the power of an Absolute. There was no reason to go play Hunter and risk my neck for it. Maybe later, once I'd put a few more levels on — but not now.

"What about starting a business?"

"A business?"

"Yes. I've got medical-type abilities, so something on the medical side."

"That could work."

Hmm. What kind of business, though. Medical… I didn't particularly feel like looking at blood all day.

A small thump pressed against my arm from the belly nestled in my lap.

"Oh! The baby just kicked!"

"That's adorable."

"I'm so happy I got to have a child."

Happy she got to have a child?

A whole crowd of thoughts went flashing through my head at once. Maybe I could make money and farm S-Points at the same time.

Bubble. Bubble.

Choi Yeo-jin stood over a cauldron of something at ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠a rolling boil, working a ladle in slow, steady circles.

"Master. You've come."

Choi Yeo-jin did not look like the girl I had first met. The old Yeo-jin had been a brawler who knew nothing but martial arts. The woman in front of me had dressed herself to the teeth for the sole purpose of seducing a man. Her hair was dyed in two tones — ash blue-gray on the outer layer, a bright purple-pink underneath — and the tomboy cut she'd worn because long hair got in the way of training had grown out just far enough to brush her shoulders.

She really does look a whole lot better when she dresses up.

She'd had a model's body and face to begin with. If her father, the Sect Leader of the Taiyu Extreme Way, saw her now, he would drop dead on the spot. I had broken her in completely. She belonged to me, body and soul.

For the record, Submission was not an ordinary intimacy rank. It was a special grade all its own.

"You've been stirring properly, I hope? If you slack off even a little, the reagents will seize up and the whole batch is garbage."

"I've been stirring with everything I have."

Choi Yeo-jin was a martial artist of the Murim. Her level sat at a modest 21, but her physical ability more than made up for it. She had been working that ladle for a full five hours and did not look the least bit tired.

It was a spiritual elixir I had rebuilt from the Troll Lord's heart Kim Do-jung had given me, recombined with an assortment of reagents ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠and a careful application of magic. Most of the vast library of texts in this place I had been able to restore with the Eye of Truth. I had mentioned that much to the Doctor, of course — and then sworn her to secrecy. Every last coin Kim Do-jung had handed me had gone into expensive herbs and magical materials. Extraordinary ingredients demanded extraordinary supporting reagents. That was just how these things worked.

"Good."

By tomorrow morning, a remarkable elixir would be born in this room.

I gave her ass a smack by way of praise.

"Hahng!"

"Thank you for spanking my ass!"

She stirred even harder.

"Keep stirring until tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

"Then get to it."

I turned to leave. That was when her fingers closed on my sleeve and refused to let go.

"Um…"

Choi Yeo-jin let the word trail off.

"What is it?"

"If I finish this job, I'll have exactly one hundred points."

"What? And?"

"That's…"

Her fingers fidgeted against each other. I grinned.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"That's… that's… that's… hngh!"

She was so embarrassed she teared up and could not get another word out. I smacked that small ass of hers again, a little encouragement.

"Hnn!"

"Say it clearly!"

"Master, you said you'd give me a reward if I saved up a hundred points. Please give me my reward."

Choi Yeo-jin hung her head, burning with shame.

"You idiot!"

SMACK!

I spanked her again, then flipped her miniskirt up. Underneath, a filthy little pussy radiated heat, trailing sticky juices down her thighs. No panties. Not a scrap.

"You filthy perverted bitch. You showed up without panties because you thought you were getting your reward today?"

"I-I'm sorry!"

SMACK!

"Hngh!"

A perfect handprint bloomed across Choi Yeo-jin's small, soft ass.

"You've been dripping all day, thinking dirty thoughts the whole time, haven't you?"

"Yes!"

Schlick. Her pussy was still as tight and slick as a virgin's.

"Hah! Haaang!"

I drove into her and grabbed a fistful of her hair, burying myself to the hilt in one thrust after another.

"Who told you to dye your hair this flashy?"

"I'll change it!"

"No need. Do I look like someone who gives a shit about a slave's hair color?"

"Hah! Haaang! Nngh!"

The wet slap of skin on skin filled the lab.

"You're uselessly tight."

"Thank you!"

"That wasn't a compliment!"

SMACK! Her ass rippled under my palm.

"I'm gonna cum!"

"Please cum your baby-seed in my pussy, Seonghun!"

"What?"

I pulled out of her in one motion.

"H-hnn?"

She moaned and twisted around to look at me.

"How dare you call your Master's name so casually?"

"Huh?"

"Insolent slave bitch."

SMACK! Another handprint joined the first on Choi Yeo-jin's ass. I came across her thigh in a thick, messy streak.

"You're a slave bitch who doesn't deserve to take a load inside."

"Hhk!"

Choi Yeo-jin heard me say it and squirted like a fountain.

"Crazy perverted bitch. You came from hearing that?"

"I'm sorry. I'm a hopeless deviant."

SMACK!

"That's right. You're the worst kind of pervert. Keep stirring until tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

I opened the door and walked out, then headed for the Doctor's office. She was at her desk with her assistants, working through a stack of documents — handover materials on me and on the world I had come from, prepared for the new research team arriving next month.

"I'm going to look at the CCTV for a bit."

"Go ahead."

I sat down and booted up the computer. The feed from the pharmacy room came up: Choi Yeo-jin, still stirring the elixir.

"Haa, haa, haa."

She had smeared the cum I had left on her into her hand and was using it as lube, working herself with her fingers. The slave-bitch work ethic, though, was something else — she kept stirring the cauldron with one hand, exactly as ordered, and masturbated with the other.

"Master, Master! Nngh! Eee! Aah-aah-aah-haaah!"

She was so small it was hard to see her properly on the feed. That pussy of hers in particular was tiny and almost painfully cute — I had to zoom in just to get a decent look.

"Master! Ahh! Aah!"

Squirt. Squirt. Splash.

Putting on quite the fountain show with that little thing. I shoved my pants down, took hold of myself, and started stroking.

"Master! Haa! I love you!"

I kept pumping and zoomed the camera in further. The feed enlarged, and the sight of her working herself filled the screen.

"What's this?"

"My slave."

"Ohh. What a devoted slave."

The Doctor sat down beside me and bent at the waist. A warm, wet seal closed over the head of my cock.

"Nngh."

She smiled, satisfied, savoring the taste.

"Seonghun, your cock tastes good no matter when I eat it."

"Doctor, the same goes for your mouth."

A wet little kiss against the tip.

"Ah."

"Master! I think I'm gonna cum!"

The Doctor took the head between her teeth and my stroking hand faltered. I kept one hand on the mouse, working the CCTV, and picked up my newly activated phone with the other.

Riiing.

On the monitor, Choi Yeo-jin's phone started buzzing.

"H-hnnn! Hel-lo? Nngh. H-hello? Haaaah."

"You're not masturbating right now, are you?"

"Whaaaat? I-I'm not! Nngh!"

A jet of her juices splashed across the camera lens.

"If you're lying, you're getting punished. You know that, right?"

"Hah! Please, punish me! Please whip me!"

There was no reasoning with her. The camera lens whirred and tracked, locking onto her. I zoomed back and forth between her face and her pussy while I talked.

"You're slacking off instead of working. Don't even try to deny it."

"Nngh! I'm not! I'm stirring the elixir really hard right now!"

"Your pussy's getting wet, though. You filthy bitch."

"Hnnn! Hhk!"

Squirt. Splash.

The Doctor picked up the pace, swallowing me down like she meant to take the whole thing. I came hard, and on the other end of the line Choi Yeo-jin came with me, a raw cry tearing out of her at the exact same moment.

"Haaaah. I'm working so hard…"

"I don't need a slave who lies."

"What?"

"I don't need a lying slave at all."

"I really only worked diligently. Please believe me, Master."

"So you weren't masturbating with my cum?"

"Aah! I wasn't!"

The thrill of being suspected must have gotten to her. She squirmed in place and started fingering herself in earnest, digging in with no restraint at all.

"I'm watching you on the security camera right now."

"WHAAAAAAT!? What did you just say!!"

Choi Yeo-jin jumped so hard she snapped to attention like a soldier on review. A lewd, glistening trail ran down the inside of her thighs.
