[The Price of Arrogance]
I had barely finished exchanging greetings with the cultists who had been forcibly thrown into the lioness's den to "stabilize public sentiment" when I was dragged off to the principal's office by the women. "W-wait! No, you people!! Augh!! Why are you doing this all of a sudden?! Just, wait a second!! Eunji!! That’s my favorite pair of underwear!! Uwaaaaah!!"
Before I could even attempt to resist, my clothes were stripped away as if they were being torn off in real-time. Like a male lion being gang-raped by a pride of lionesses, I was undressed by the rough, frantic hands of starving women. I was forced into a chair, and my hands were bound behind my back. It was as if they had planned this from the very beginning. A seamless, reverse-rape. Perhaps they had already finished plotting this amongst themselves before I even arrived. Regardless, I began to be devoured without a single chance to fight back. My erection had already been fully formed the moment I saw them, after all...
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
"J-just a moment!! Merhe...!!"
"Haa... haa... Master... stay still. Do you have any idea how long it’s been since I’ve had sex with you? Don't keep talking, Master. You're breaking my concentration."
"Me, Merhe... this... o-order..."
"Eunji-yang. What are you doing? You need to cover his mouth."
"Okay, Merhe-unni. Then, Oppa, let's do some deep kissing with me."
"W-wait a second!! Ugh!"
Slurp, slurp, slurp.
Eunji began a deep kiss, effectively gagging me. Without a chance to refuse, I shared a kiss with Eunji while being ridden and devoured by Merhe. Every time Merhe’s heavy hips slammed into my thighs or she sucked on my cock, I felt an ecstasy that threatened to pull my very soul from my body. That thick, viscous pussy flesh was enough to drive a man insane. If I ever lose my mind... it will be entirely because of these women.
"Merhe-unni! It's my turn now! You already got one ejaculation out of him!! Why are you trying to cheat?!"
"Tsk... was I caught?"
"No, did you really think you wouldn't be caught when the semen is overflowing like that? Are you crazy?"
Hwayoung pushed Merhe aside viciously and immediately began to 'use' my cock. In the meantime, Eunji was pushed aside by Harin, who stole my lips.
"My Lord... I missed you."
Harin smiled faintly and began to suck on my tongue. It felt so good, the way she gripped my hair tightly as if to ensure she wouldn't miss a single moment.
"Huu... Oppa... your cock... it's been a while..."
Hwayoung began riding me with a gloomy, obsessive smile, much like a yandere. Glancing sideways, I saw Hwayoung's vulva glistening. At that moment, Eunji doubled my sensitivity, and I instantly lost my reason, beginning to thrust into them. Or rather, I was being devoured.
"Huff... i-is it always like this...? L-look, what is this... huff... this is basically a real rape, isn't it?"
Meanwhile, Cheshire, Aila, and Aram—who were relegated to watching today because they had "devoured" me too much in the Black Market—were currently flustered, witnessing this scene of unbelievable reverse-rape.
"Hmm... usually, it's a bit more... gentle? Like we're the ones being devoured... I guess everyone was really pent up today. Everyone... is so active. Honestly, I've never seen them this desperate before..."
"Aha... r-right. That's how it is. Usually, they aren't in this... crazy state, right? Hehe. Yeah. That must be it... it's just because it's been a while..."
Cheshire nodded with a foolish laugh, and Aram still looked bewildered. Aram scratched her chin, looking dumbfounded as she watched Areum biting my nipples. I was just as flustered. Juha and Eunha were so lost in the middle of these aggressive women that they didn't know what to do, and Nanase, seemingly realizing she wouldn't get a turn today, was packing up her clothes with a hollow laugh.
"Puh... w-wait!!! S-stop, ugh. Slurp. Mwah."
I tried to change the situation somehow, but they wouldn't give me a single opening to issue an order. This time, Heeseon-noona pressed her breasts against my face. Well... there was nothing I could do about that. I had no choice but to suck on Heeseon-noona's fragrant nipples. It was, what can I say... a man's instinct. When soft, supple breasts are pressed against your face, how can you not suck?
Slurp. Slurp.
"Haa... J-Jun-ah... a little softer. Haa...!"
Heeseon-noona stroked my face and hair while letting me suckle her nipples. The fragrant breasts of a druid. I felt like I was getting drunk on them. Like that, I remained strapped to the chair, being devoured for three and a half hours. As if that wasn't enough, I was moved to a cot from the infirmary and devoured in turns until the sun rose. I was truly 'milked dry.' I suspect they know it now, too. The fact that I enjoy being aggressively milked until not a single drop of semen remains in my balls...
'E-everything... this fetish was created because of you, Kashnakas...'
It was a fetish that formed when I was milked by Einax in the Forest of the Missing. In short, it’s a sexual preference that Kashnakas carved into my body... Imagining that moment makes my cock swell until it feels like it might burst. I want to ejaculate. I want to keep feeling pleasure until I'm on the verge of death...
"Augh..! Oppa! It's, it's getting bigger again!! Amazing!!"
"Hwayoung-ah... Oppa has fainted, you know?"
"Huh? Oh?"
Even in that state, I gradually lost consciousness, the last thing I saw being Hwayoung, who was clinging to me tightly, shaking her hips and even sucking on my blood. 'Se... sex...' I'm so tired I could die.

The morning after my intense night with them, I went up to the rooftop, sipping a cup of instant coffee. One of the archer girls, who was on a two-shift rotation to monitor the surroundings, was sitting there. Ever since I cut off her index finger to break her spirit, she hadn't looked at me with much affection, so I didn't bother trying to talk to her.
'Hmm...'
I just quietly savored the coffee and looked around leisurely. The view of the school from the rooftop. The slaves who had already started working in the fields despite it being morning. The base, which I had returned to after a week, was incredibly peaceful. Thanks to executive-level awakened slaves like Ha Jin-sung, Kang Eun-jung, and Lee Hoon, who organized the other awakened slaves into squads and thoroughly looted the surroundings, supplies had piled up, and the nearby zombies were practically wiped out. We had plenty of daily necessities, and since we could produce our own food now, there wasn't much to worry about. This place was truly a paradise on earth in a ruined world. Perhaps that's why rumors of this place being safe had spread to nearby survivors. That must be why so many had come looking for us.
"Welcome, everyone."
I greeted the survivors who had been locked in the gym storage room. We've had our fun, now it's time to work. There were about 15 survivors in the storage room, a mix of young men and women. Ha Jin-sung told me they were all awakened. Seeing them survive this long and make it all the way to our base, they were either incredibly tenacious or had the skills to back it up.
'Not that any of them would be over level 20.'
Since the update of the catastrophe had stopped, the level cap was frozen at 20. Even then, the level you could reach through field bosses was only 17 to 18. It seemed that to reach level 20, you had to kill the boss monster that would crawl out on the day the Ghost Gate opened. In short, since leveling up had become ridiculously difficult, you had to increase your personal prowess or clear hidden achievements and events to get stronger. Anyway, since these guys reached here alive, they deserved a fair reward. And the reward, of course, was the slave brand I would personally imprint on them. In my opinion, there was nothing better than this. If they had a disability, I'd fix it; I provided food, clothing, and shelter; we had water and electricity; and there were plenty of technicians, so it was a great place to live. Honestly, doesn't that make me a saint? Truly, I might be the very savior or messiah they speak of.
"Let's see. What should I do with them now. Hmm... first of all..."
First, I'd give them a good beating and then imprint the slave brand. If any of them seemed strong enough, I'd organize them into the 1st Division and use them as neighborhood scouts. Just then, one of the survivors interrupted me.
"H-hey! Wait! You're the leader here, right? I have something to say."
What is this bastard? How dare he interrupt me while I'm speaking? Has he lost his mind? Ha Jin-sung, who was standing next to me, turned pale at the man's behavior. Eunji and Hwayoung, who had entered the classroom with me, even had their fingers twitching. They practically worshipped me as a god, so they couldn't tolerate such rude behavior. However, there was no need to turn the classroom into a bloodbath just yet. They might actually have something important to say.
"Sure, my friend. What is it you want to say so badly? Unless it's something truly important... you'd better hope it's worth it."
I said with a smile. The man responded with an even more confident expression and voice, as if he were someone of great importance.
"First of all, we are survivors who lived and returned from the Forest of the Missing. You know, right? The Forest of the Missing is a place no one can just enter. Having survived and returned from such a place, we will surely be of help to you..."
The man was desperately trying to sell himself as a survival expert and elite soldier. The others next to him nodded, also trying to show off their strength and power. But did they know? That the conqueror of the Forest of the Missing's Asia server was me.
"Hmm. So, are you asking for special treatment now?"
"Y-yes. That's right. We will definitely be of help. So, we want to be your colleagues on equal footing. Seeing as this is such a great place to live, we'll lend you our strength, and we'll..."
"Stop. That's enough. Phew..."
I sighed deeply and looked at Ha Jin-sung, who was standing at attention next to me.
"Hey. Jin-sung-ah. What are these guys? Are they idiots? Or are they just crazy?"
"Ah... well... I apologize."
Ha Jin-sung, sensing my voice had dropped, avoided my eyes with a terrified expression. Although he wasn't the strongest in terms of combat, he had been working with me for a long time, so he knew exactly what kind of person I was and what I wanted. He knew I was angry right now. I looked coldly at the man who was still trying to sell himself.
"You seem to take pride in having survived the Forest of the Missing, don't you?"
They weren't worth listening to anymore. I drew my sword. Park Sung-ho frowned and took a step back. I'd felt it since earlier, but these bastards refused to acknowledge the fact that they were prisoners. They were talking as if they had let themselves be caught and could escape at any time. A laughable story. These guys had misjudged their opponent. Because everyone was laughing and working in the fields, they must have thought this was just an easy place to take over. Who do you think built this environment so that people could laugh and work in the fields after working their asses off...?
"Whether you're skilled or not, everyone here is just my slave."
"W-what are you talking about? Slave?"
"Eunji-ya. Hwayoung-ah. Crush those bastards. Their condition is really messed up."
I immediately let go of the two people I had been holding back. Eunji dashed forward in an instant and sliced Park Sung-ho's arm off without hesitation. Hwayoung, who followed, manipulated the blood spraying from Park Sung-ho to blow up the wrist of an awakened person who was trying to attack Eunji from behind, then kicked his knee to snap it in the opposite direction before kicking him in the chin. After sparring with Palus, her combat skills had reached a high level. Moving like a special forces unit, Eunji and Hwayoung sliced through the fifteen awakened people in two minutes. Without me even having to lift a finger, the classroom turned into a bloodbath in an instant.
"Kuaaaaah!!!!"
"Oh. Eunji-ya. You shouldn't kill them."
"Yes, Oppa! I'll adjust!"
I smiled and sat in a chair in the classroom. Then, I healed the prospective slaves whose limbs had been severed. As the flesh grew back, their screams grew even louder. If you don't know your place, you should at least have some common sense. Of course, if you have neither, you have no choice but to get beaten until you do.

After showing those fifteen ignorant fools the bitter taste of reality, I took Harin and Heeseon-noona and climbed the mountain. We came to plant a Corpse Tree, which would make the surrounding area its territory. If we plant this and link it with Heeseon-noona, who is a druid, this area will become our domain. The Corpse Tree will automatically clean up corpses, and the fruit can be used as alchemy ingredients. Until the cracked Ankh is activated, I began to do the things I needed to do one by one. After planting the Corpse Tree, I need to start operating the Mushroom Human farm in earnest, hand over the Corpse Parasitic Tree to Haeun, who is a lich, install slimes, and there's just too much to do. Above all, I need to interrogate the Ella and Bella sisters to figure out the strength of Nicholas's side. Anyway, I'll be quite busy for a while.
