Project Athena (2): The Truth – I Like You, Oppa♡♡♡
Handle me however you want♡♡♡
Treat my mouth pussy like an onahole♡♡♡
Twenty-four hours was an eternity.
10, 9, 8… The very moment the countdown on my status window hit zero with a ding—
Scenario Quest Song of the Broken Sword sub-quest completed.
Return 'Home'
📍 Time Limit: 1 hour (59:59)
The quest was over.
How could I have forgotten… the reason I'd submitted so easily to Lee Hyun-seong.
I had to find Yumi.
But return home? My home…? Where was my home, anyway?
One scene floated into my mind.
A blue sea rippling with seaweed…
"I have to go back…"
I slid off him.
"Hey! Where do you think you're going?!"
Yoo Cheon-woo grabbed my arm in a panic.
"The twenty-four hours are up. Let me go, like we agreed. That was the deal."
"You're my property now. You can't go anywhere without my permission."
A red glow emanated from his palm.
Was he trying to activate the master's brand that controlled and forced obedience?
But nothing happened.
The incomplete pattern on my lower abdomen flickered faintly before fading away.
"Phew…"
I had to feel relieved. This was my chance at freedom.
But in a corner of my heart, a question of why? arose alongside an inexplicable disappointment.
After twenty-four hours of sex with his massive cock and tentacles… had I really developed feelings for him?
"…Whatever. Let me go now."
I couldn't even point my sword at him.
It had been coercive, sure, but ultimately my choice.
His confident smile.
The way he'd led me perfectly.
And the overwhelming pleasure beyond compare.
The sense of stability that filled the emptiness in my heart while cradled in Yoo Cheon-woo's arms… it made my hands heavy.
"The auction contract was for twenty-four hours. So… keep your promise. I have my reasons."
He couldn't accept that the woman he'd thought he'd perfectly tamed was now invoking the contract.
"Sia Seong, you already forgot? How you called yourself my bitch and sucked my cock—you forgot that already?!"
"…That was…"
My face flushed at his vulgar words, but I couldn't retort.
It was true, after all.
I remembered everything…
And… I hadn't hated those moments at all.
"That was because of the quest. But it's over now, so I have to go back."
I repeated to myself.
It was just a stupid contract, nothing more.
Auctions for people were idiotic to begin with.
I didn't know if I was worth 50 billion won…
But for me, that day had been pure, thoughtless happiness.
His promise to show me the joys of being a woman had been entirely true.
Even now, I just wanted to melt into his arms and moan…
But some things couldn't be said out loud.
Yoo Cheon-woo gestured.
"Mimi! Awake! My familiars!"
Five heavily armed battle maids burst in from the hallway.
I opened my inventory and drew my sword.
"You really gonna do this?"
Magic circles unfolded around the room, tentacles emerging.
The bedroom, thick with the scent of semen and love juices from our sex like in Artemis, transformed into a mini-dungeon in an instant.
"Master!"
The battle maids' sharp weapons and glares fixed on me.
"If you wanna leave, cut me down and walk out. If you can."
A tense standoff.
The enemies surrounded me, but I couldn't raise my sword.
I knew he was just testing me.
Whether I really intended to leave him.
It seemed a bit extreme, but that was it.
Because with a remote button, he could erase my memories and leave the obedient "me" on the bed calling him "Master~♡".
But he didn't.
He was just probing.
"Hesitating?"
Yoo Cheon-woo caught the subtle shift in my emotions.
He pulled back his summons slightly and approached me slowly.
"You still want what belongs to me."
He whispered in my ear, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Why do you wanna leave?"
I couldn't resist.
His firm muscles pressed against my chest, igniting me instantly.
"Be honest. It felt good, right?"
My face burned at his out-of-nowhere question.
"…Shut up, perv."
I didn't want to fight Yoo Cheon-woo.
Not the one who'd held me last night, who'd taught me the joys of womanhood…
Because it had felt good…
Memories crept into my mind.
"That's why I don't wanna fight you, Oppa. But if you won't let me go, I'll have to show you my skills."
"Show your skills…? You think you can beat me no matter what?"
"Sorry… I have something I need to do first. No time."
"What do you have to do?"
I looked him straight in the eye, pouring in my sincerity.
"I got an irresistible order to return home. If I ignore it, my friend is in danger."
At my desperation, Yoo Cheon-woo seemed lost in thought for a moment.
He muttered to himself.
"Is that bastard Lee Hyun-seong's leash…?"
I needed evidence to convince him.
"Honestly… Oppa… you were pretty great. Nothing like Lee Hyun-seong's tiny dick— not even comparable."
I swallowed my shame and confessed my truest feelings.
A heavy silence fell.
The summons growled lowly, awaiting their master's next command.
"So you're saying you wanna do it again sometime. Believe me… and let me go."
Yoo Cheon-woo grinned at my bold confession.
"Yeah?"
What had I just said?
Do it again?
"…"
He spoke first.
"Ha…"
He let out a hollow sigh, then burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha! Yeah, that's enough."
He signaled his summons and maids to withdraw.
"Everyone, stand down."
"You're really letting me go?"
"No choice."
He sat back on the bed.
"……Really?"
"Yeah. Twenty-four hours. A promise is a promise. And… it was good. Not a second wasted. Screw that 50 billion won. Best sex of my life."
"Glad 50 billion wasn't a waste."
He smirked and added,
"What you said about coming back—that hit the spot."
"Th-thanks."
Embarrassing… What had I said?
But it really had been good…
"You'll be back soon."
"…Why do you think I'll come back?"
"You will. Your body remembers me now—can't forget. And…"
He smiled slyly.
"You're already falling for me."
My face exploded in heat.
Falling for him? Me? The Sword Saint?
Fallen… for him?
I had no comeback to his confident words.
Thump-thump-thump—
I wanted to deny it, but my heart raced wildly.
I sheathed my sword and covered my face with both hands.
"Mimi! Bring some clothes. Something pretty."
"Yes, Master!"
"Th-th-thanks."
"Can't have my girl wandering around naked. At least put on some clothes. Sit here a sec."
"No time…"
"You wanna flash the whole world?"
He smacked my ass.
"Eek…!"
So sensitive. So much…!
He patted my thigh, telling me to sit.
"Not that, so… fine."
His left hand kneaded my breast while his right pulled something out.
"Hah… hah… Ah…!"
"Take this in your pussy."
It was a tentacle.
"W-what…?"
"Lets me know what you're doing, where you are. If another guy tries, it'll bite his dick off. Least I can do, right?"
"Got it, Oppa. Nngh…"
I spread my legs slightly and inserted the tentacle into my pussy like a dildo.
"Good girl."
Head maid Mimi arrived with a clean outfit.
"No casual clothes."
"Hm…"
Better than a stewardess uniform, maybe?
The outfit Mimi brought was prim but accentuated my curves—a black maid dress.
"Gonna change, so… turn around?"
"Blushing at the weird parts. Hurry up. No time, right?"
I felt his gaze scan my naked body, but surprisingly, it wasn't that embarrassing.
If anything, showing him excited me.
I shyly slipped on my panties.
"Beautiful."
"Don't stare like that…"
No flab there, but I tensed my muscles with my breath just in case.
Hadn't trained much lately…
And the semen… Ugh!
The tentacle in my pussy gently stimulated my inner walls, making my lower belly tingle.
Once dressed…
Mwah—!
Yoo Cheon-woo kissed my forehead lightly, like seeing off a lover on a quick errand.
"Go. Don't keep me waiting too long."
His voice held absolute certainty that I'd return.
"What if Lee Hyun-seong sells me to someone else?"
"I'll make sure he doesn't. You're the strongest Sword Saint, right?"
"Anyway, thanks for listening, Oppa. And… uh… never mind!"
It was the sex. In my right mind, I'd never say stuff like that.
The aphrodisiac's fault.
"Cute."
I bolted from the bedroom.
Mimi escorted me to the elevator.
"I'll await the day we meet again."
I didn't respond.
The outside air was refreshing.
My heart fluttered like reeds in the wind, unable to settle.
Did I like Yoo Cheon-woo?
Until Clear (35:31 / 59 min)
About thirty minutes left.
I pushed off hard.
He offered a car, but I refused—running would be faster.
Whoosh!
The black maid dress down to my ankles and white apron fluttered in the wind.
It didn't suit me, but now wasn't the time to care.
I had to go to the "home" on my quest window.
Whoosh—!
I leaped through Seoul's nighttime skyscrapers like a shadow, using foot strength between the buildings.
Flew like a black bird.
"Mom! Look! A pretty lady in black is flying!"
A kid at an apartment window spotted me and pointed.
Sharp eyes on that little one.
"Nah, people don't fly. You mistook a crow."
"No… Mom! There!"
The mother's voice faded as I kicked off again.
Home… my home.
My official address—a Gangnam penthouse—came to mind.
But it never felt like home.
Instead, my heart and body pulled me elsewhere.
Thud—!
Whoosh—!
I hurried instinctively toward the Hunter Association headquarters.
Landed on the roof and peered down.
Why? Why here as home?
Questions arose, but I ignored them and landed on the ground.
Without answering my own doubts, I headed to the secret passage from B3 parking to the fifth floor.
Time Remaining: 3 Minutes
I couldn't even convince myself.
Why come here when I needed to go home? No time…
Did I want to confront Lee Hyun-seong?
Or had he implanted the idea that the "Master's" side was home?
I sneaked toward the clinic on B5.
No footsteps, no presence…
A faint voice echoed.
Someone's there.
Slash—!
I sliced the concrete wall beside me and peered through.
Wrapped mana around my finger to bore a hole into the clinic.
Where…
I pressed my eye to the hole, presence erased.
No way…?
It was just yesterday I wrecked the place—how was it pristine inside?
No floor damage, no debris.
Not even scorch marks from the exploded machines.
The incubation pod filled with sea-blue liquid had seaweed-like neural connection pods floating.
Damage impossible to repair that fast…
"Ahh! Aahh! Haaang…♡ Nngh…♡"
At least three people inside by presence. Probably having sex.
Yeom Hwa-rin?
Looking closer…
And then I saw it.
"Master…♡ …Mmph!"
Was this real, or a dream? I couldn't tell.
There was me.
Same face, same platinum blonde hair, same woman.
Undeniably Sia Seong, on all fours, her front and back holes ravaged simultaneously by two men.
Behind, Lee Hyun-seong thrusting into her ass with his cock.
In front, his brother Hyun-woo Lee's dick pistoning her mouth like a broodmare.
"Haaang…♡ Nngh…♡ Master…♡ Hyun-woo-nim…♡♡ Sia’s holes…♡ All… yours, Masters…♡♡"
The "me" on the bed thrashed wildly from the brothers' cocks, screaming in ecstasy.
A dream? A trick? Am I insane?
I couldn't believe it.
Couldn't comprehend.
Who was that identical to me…?
Calm down.
Damn Lee Hyun-seong—what did he do to me?
Or the tentacle from Yoo Cheon-woo?
A meticulously crafted hallucination?
My body's not normal now.
No sleep, bad condition.
Maybe I'm still asleep.
Yeah, that must be it.
This isn't real.
Not reality.
A woman identical to me.
The doctor and Hyun-woo raping "me."
Something's wrong.
A doppelganger like me?
Or two of me?
Impossible.
"Bro, what about the clones?"
"What about 'em? Just shells anyway."
What the hell…?
I wanted to reject the truth.
Deny it… I backed away.
Go back to Yoo Cheon-woo…? This is insane… No.
No! I don't wanna know.
I wanna run…
Crack—
Something vital inside me snapped.
Maybe what they call the heart.
Ding—!
A notification appeared before my eyes.
A bell rang inside simultaneously.
