Project Athena (3)
Ding—!
The system alert echoed simultaneously in my head and from the space beyond the wall. It was the cruel toll of truth, shattering even my final denial of reality.
『Song of the Broken Sword』
I peered back inside through the hole I'd made, as if entranced.
Where... where was Yumi? The me inside had paused her lustful acts for a moment to check the system window.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she took Hyun-woo Lee's cock back into her mouth and rocked her hips in time with the doctor's thrusts.
"Back already?"
"You're here? I don't see you."
The woman who looked exactly like me pointed at me with her finger.
"She's right there, Master."
She pinpointed me so casually, so matter-of-factly.
This wasn't a hallucination. Not a dream. That was another real 'me'.
Lee Hyun-seong scolded me in his soft, gentle voice.
"What are you doing hiding? Come inside."
I realized I could run no longer. No, I shouldn't run. I opened the door and stepped in.
Screeech—
"Oh... Did Yoo Cheon-woo destroy the necklace?"
"What... what the hell is going on? I clearly wrecked this place."
"You woke up in the lab, not the clinic."
What was he talking about?
"Where's Yumi? And who the hell is that, looking exactly like me?"
"Ah, that? That's what you're most curious about, right?"
Lee Hyun-seong pulled out his cock and answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"This one is your original."
Original... Original?! That word struck the back of my head like a hammer.
"Original means..."
"You're a clone."
"A clone? Me?"
"When did you start thinking of yourself as human?"
"What... did you say?"
He sneered, reciting the cruel truth.
"You're the greatest first fruit of Project Athena."
"Project... Athena?"
I repeated the unfamiliar word.
"Yes. The great project to save humanity. The project to create a goddess of war from a human."
The doctor began explaining with an arrogant expression, as if he were a god himself.
"Gates appeared, but only hunters can enter them. S-class hunters are few and far between. If they die or get injured, humanity's done for. So we thought: what if we could clone our strongest hunter?"
His words sent chills down my spine.
"But that's..."
"Right, human cloning is impossible in general. Ethics aside, technologically too. Even Yeom Hwa-rin, handed over as public property, couldn't be cloned. But you were different, Sia."
He stroked the 'original Sia' on the bed lovingly.
"It was our long-cherished wish. To shatter the laws of this unreasonable world. We could clone a hunter's physical abilities, but not their 'qualification' as a hunter. But we found a way."
"What way..."
"Your unstable mind, your fractured personality. That was the key."
My personality was the key?
"First, I created your clone using your cells and my sperm."
What... what did he say? His sperm? Then... I'm... my... my dad is...?
Urk... Nausea rose up.
"Sperm from embryonic stem cells, but anyway... Thanks to the billions of nanomachines implanted in you, we collected all your physical and mental data, making your birth possible." He pointed to the incubation pod.
"We succeeded in transplanting your cloned personality data. You were born in there. A soldier specialized only in combat and missions, with useless emotions stripped away."
A soldier with emotions castrated? Me? My head felt like it would split open. My mind felt like it was shattering into pieces.
Physical body this, that... Blah blah blah...! I didn't want to hear any more. My ears seemed to vanish, my consciousness fading.
"...So you became the one and only clone of Project Athena."
Clone. Copy. I'm fake?
"Liar..."
I muttered without realizing it. I couldn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it. My memories, my pain, my pleasure, my determination to save Yumi, even the feelings I had for Yoo Cheon-woo for a moment. All fake?
"Don't fuck with me!"
"It's not a lie. It's undeniable truth."
"No proof!"
"Proof? Hmm... Do you remember anything from five years ago? Before you met me."
"Of course! Ah... aaa..."
Nothing came to mind. No way...! Five years ago...?
I staggered backward.
"Liar... I'm... I'm the real Sia Seong! That's... that's the fake!"
I denied it. But puzzle pieces were clicking together in my head. Why they auctioned me off so casually. Why Yoo Cheon-woo's taming didn't work. Why I instinctively returned here.
...It all made sense. Because I wasn't real.
The tsunami of undeniable truth crashed over me.
"Uwaaaah! I'm fake?!"
The doctor sneered at my scream.
"I said clone. Never fake. You're stupid. What's the line between real and fake? You are Sia Seong."
"No..."
I screamed, clutching my head. My existence, everything about me, denied. Who am I? What am I?
"No... no! I'm real! I'm... I'm Sia Seong!"
"Clinging to 'real' because you're a clone?"
"Shut up! Shut the fuck up!"
I opened my inventory and drew Griffon.
"This sword... this sword's real! I've never heard of cloning a unique item!"
"Ah, that one."
The doctor looked at the sword in my hand with pity.
"That's the surest proof you're fake. Blessings unfortunately only pass to the true soul."
"This proves I'm fake...?"
"I'm the guy who made this world. So probably a god. Unfathomable intentions."
Slap— Lee Hyun-seong patted the original woman's ass.
"Sia, show her."
"Yes, Master."
The naked Sia Seong, semen dripping from her pussy, stood up. She drew the Guardian Sword from her inventory.
"This is the real Griffon. A sword only Master's first sword can have."
A beautiful blade wrapped in blue sword aura.
"Then what was I holding...?"
"Who knows~?"
She tilted her head side to side playfully.
"Shut up! I'll cut you all down... and prove I'm real...!"
I'll kill them... Lee Hyun-seong.
Fwoosh—! I charged at full power. Fake? Me, fake?! No way!
The naked me, like a doppelganger, charged in the exact same stance.
"Sword Saint's Blessing."
"Heart Sword Unity."
"Draw of the Sword."
I won't lose... I can't lose! I'm an S-class hunter, Sword Princess Sia Seong!
Slash—! I was cut. My blade... the Griffon I held sliced like paper.
No way...
"Huh...?"
"Sorry. You know attacks on Master aren't allowed."
"The strongest... Sword Princess like me..."
The original smiled leisurely.
"You know~~ the true strongest don't need to boast about it."
"..."
"Because everyone acknowledges it naturally. You felt it in one exchange, right? The difference in caliber."
Total defeat. Total defeat. A true swordswoman speaks with her sword. In one clash, I had to admit I was just a knockoff. An utterly vast gap...
But I can't accept it!
"No! No way! That's not...!"
Click—
System Forced Control Mode Activated.
Transferring subject's body control rights to the system administrator.
My body wouldn't move anymore. The arm holding the broken sword froze in midair like stone.
"Even with a bad head, still deluded into thinking you're the master of your own body?"
I felt control slipping away from me. Like a marionette with cut strings.
"Real doll my ass."
Am I no different from Ophelia, the doll Ma Do-jun made at Artemis?
Clang— The half-sword dropped to the floor. The sound of my pride and self-esteem shattering.
I couldn't even blink anymore. Just waiting for his next command like a living doll.
"Come here and lie down."
Thud, thud. I lay on the bed. He placed his palm on my forehead like he was examining me.
"Now, let's hear your report."
"No... ugh..."
I gritted my teeth and resisted.
"Report. Everything you did with Yoo Cheon-woo in the last 24 hours. Leave nothing out."
I didn't want to say it. My last shred of shame. The memory of yielding my body to him, my heart wavering toward him—that was my secret, my treasure.
"Kuaaah!"
As the doctor pressed something, pain like my brain being electrocuted hit, and my mouth moved on its own.
"Contact and data collection report with S-class hunter Yoo Cheon-woo... Beginning report. After the auction, I went to... his mansion. It was a very tall tower."
My voice was emotionless, like a machine.
"...He stripped me the moment he saw me and made me suck his cock. It was enormous. Then... he proposed a bet. If I didn't orgasm, he'd let me go..."
I had to listen to the humiliating words pouring from my mouth like someone else's story.
"...But I lost. He was too good at foreplay, and his massive cock made me react so easily. When he hit my cervix, I... for the first time... felt joy as a woman... Sniff..."
"Continue."
At the doctor's command, I opened my mouth again.
"The summoned tentacles... violated every hole at once. Injected with aphrodisiac, my whole body is now an erogenous zone."
"I see?"
Lee Hyun-seong pressed my nipple like a button. Drip, drip— Love juices poured from my pussy like from a water cooler.
But my damn mouth-pussy wouldn't stop.
"Deepthroated with his massive cock... Even my stomach filled with his semen. My esophagus developed, making my throat as sensitive as a pussy."
"Hmm... I see."
"He had taming abilities. A dual awakener... He shared pleasure with Mimi the rabbit beastkin through... his sound hole."
"Taming, another hidden ability."
"...He came inside me over and over. For 24 hours, vowing to awaken my sound hole..."
I reported everything. Really, everything...
"I called him... 'Oppa' and swore... to become his bitch. It felt so good."
I had to admit it. That I was just a clone, as he said.
To make me spill my innermost thoughts like this... I even confessed the secrets I never wanted to reveal to this loathsome man.
"My heart... wavered toward Yoo Cheon-woo. I thought... I liked him. No, I... I came to like him...♡ Maybe even love him."
"Pfft, love? A whore sold off, talking about love?"
Tears welled up at Lee Hyun-seong's mockery.
The 'original Sia' sparkled at my confession.
"Master, I... I want to try that guy too...♡"
"You're not allowed."
"Aww... Master♡"
While I was paralyzed, unable to move, Hyun-woo Lee spread my legs.
"It's fine, right bro? I wanna test that developed pussy."
"No. There are tentacles he planted in my pussy. They'd cut off any intruder's cock."
"Hiiiik! You fucking bitch. Should've said sooner. Nearly lost my dick."
He flicked my clit.
"Hngh♡"
Not even anger rose. I could think of nothing in the shock.
After the report, Lee Hyun-seong issued a new command.
"Hmm. Then return to Yoo Cheon-woo as soon as tomorrow."
"Yes. I will return."
"And become his lover."
"Yes. I will become his lover."
"Stay by his side, gain his trust, report to me. In simple terms, you're a spy from now on."
"I will become a spy..."
"Let's see, then."
And my consciousness faded.
Click, click— I walked the halls of the Baekya Guild office.
A female guild member spoke to me.
"You look stunning today."
"Thank you."
"By the way, do you know where Hunter Jeong Yumi is?"
"No idea."
"Got it. Fighting, Vice Guild Master!"
"Yes. Thank you."
Today was my inauguration as vice guild master. I had no idea when I accepted. But I'd decided to, and the guild master wouldn't make a mistake. I accepted it lightly.
I wore a prim, dignified suit. But the sensations underneath were anything but prim.
A '正' character was tattooed like ink on my lower belly and thighs. Around it: 'I'm Master's meat toilet', 'Fuck me anytime'.
Thanks to the doctor's advice that normal women walk around with this.
A heavy vibrating dildo filled my pussy, topped with a chastity belt. Around my waist hung condoms full of Hyun-woo and Master's semen like jewelry.
Semen collected for the new vice guild master. Necessary to look elegant, he said.
"Mmm... slurp slurp."
In the bathroom, I secretly opened a semen-filled condom and squeezed it down like red ginseng tonic. Like turtle egg ice cream. Semen acts like a calming pill to ease tension, he said.
I wasn't tense at all.
I headed to the Baekya Guild inauguration site.
The host introduced me.
"Now, entering our new vice guild master of Korea's No. 1 guild, Baekya Guild— Sword Princess Sia Seong! Everyone, applause!"
I ascended the podium amid applause. Blinding lights and cheers from countless people washed over me.
"We now hear the inauguration speech from Baekya Guild's new vice guild master, Hunter Sia Seong!"
I stood at the podium mic. Countless guild members, reporters, association officials stared at me. Most with respect and awe, but some with lecherous gazes.
Why? Men are...
"Respected guild members and honored guests here today. I am Sia Seong, taking on the heavy role of Baekya Guild vice guild master."
The dildo in my pussy and the rotors on my nipples began weak vibrations.
Vrrr—
"Hngh...!"
A short moan escaped unwittingly. I cleared my throat hastily and pressed on.
"Today... from this glorious position... I take on the role of... vice guild master...♡"
The audience stirred. Some thought I was emotional, tearing up. But not all.
"As Baekya Guild's vice guild master... ngh... I will..."
Faint chuckles from the seats. Giggle, giggle— clear to my ears via Wind's Blessing.
"That lofty bitch broke so bad the other day..."
"I saw it myself. Squirting on stage..."
Squirting? Stage? Broke? What?
Chuckles everywhere.
Guild Master Kang Jin-woo bellowed.
"What's this commotion! Quiet down!"
"Sorry!"
"Continue."
"Yes. Thank you, Guild Master..."
Vibrations intensified. Hyun-woo Lee grinned lewdly at me.
Hyun-woo... not even here...
My legs weakened; I gripped the podium to hold on. Face flushed red with arousal.
"In the future, for Baekya Guild's... hngh... growth, I will... ha...! do my utmost...♡"
Gonna cum... vrrrrrr—!
With cameras and guild members watching...
"Haa... haa... Please take care of me."
Cumming...♡
I set down the mic.
"Urghhh♡♡"
Bowing 90 degrees, I collapsed behind the podium in silent climax. Body convulsing, hot juices overflowing past the chastity belt between my legs.
Tongue lolling like an idiot, I finished the inauguration.
"Th-thank... you."
