Chapter Title: Stability
-----------------------------------------------------------------
While eating what passed for both breakfast and lunch, Su-ji kept stealing glances at me.
She seemed bothered that I'd caught her peeking on me last night.
With her sportswear and ponytail, she looked like the cool, athletic type—but surprisingly, she was showing a timid side.
Any guy might not have minded, but even Chae-won peeked sometimes and didn't make a fuss about it.
"What do you plan to do?"
I asked Han Su-ji.
"Sh-should I leave?"
She gauged my reaction.
After tasting civilization's comforts, it was only natural she didn't want to go.
"Oppa~ Can't unnie stay here with us?"
Ji-a clung to my arm, acting cute because she didn't want to part with Su-ji.
"......"
Even without Ji-a, Su-ji was a rare Awakener in this world.
High-value talent.
With Ji-a and Su-ji together, they could handle a low-grade Corrupted Being or two.
Now cleaned up and shed of her old skin, she was pretty decent-looking, too.
She'd come all this way searching for Ji-a, a total stranger with no blood ties.
Her character checked out.
"If you want to stay, then stay."
"Th-thank you."
"Yay~ Su-ji unnie, let's get along great~"
Un-ho had stepped out to hunt Corrupted Beings.
Chae-won had no idea why he was bothering to kill those monsters.
She had no intention of prying, and even if she did, he probably wouldn't answer.
Even if his actions made no sense to her.
The fact remained that he'd shown the survivors here overwhelming kindness they could never repay.
"Su-ji unnie, you're a superpowered Awakener, right?"
Chae-won asked to confirm what she'd suspected.
"Well... I just have super strength."
Ji-a had said Un-ho could spot superpowered Awakeners.
That explained why he'd accepted Su-ji so easily.
With more superpowered Awakeners around, Chae-won felt like the only useless one.
She unconsciously stroked the suit Un-ho had given her.
"We can't keep mooching off the supplies Uncle hands out forever."
"M-mooching?"
"Just stating facts."
"Oppa said managing this place is enough for us..."
Ji-a glanced at Chae-won as she spoke.
"It's not enough. From Uncle's view, we're just useless freeloaders scarfing down food right now."
"I-it's not that bad... right?"
Su-ji gave an awkward smile.
"Ji-a unnie would be different, though."
"Me?"
Ji-a, with light makeup and her head tilted, looked attractive even to another girl.
"Ji-a does?"
"She at least takes care of Uncle's needs."
"Th-that's..."
Ji-a's pale face flushed red.
"Hey! That's too harsh..."
Su-ji saw Ji-a's expression but didn't seem too upset.
"......No..."
If anything, she looked pleased.
"Ji-a unnie, is there still a ton of stuff left at that shopping mall?"
"It's huge, so yeah, plenty left. Oh! You wanna go there?"
Ji-a's eyes sparkled at the mention of shopping.
"Unnie, it's not for shopping."
"Those cute shoes I saw last time..."
Chae-won ignored Ji-a and continued.
"Canned goods and daily necessities—we can never have enough. They'll run out eventually. Better stock up while we can."
"Us going to get it..."
Su-ji opposed Chae-won's idea at first but had no intention of just freeloading forever.
She saw the logic in it.
"Yeah. It'd lighten Uncle's load, too."
"You want to go to the shopping mall and bring back supplies?"
"Yes."
Chae-won cautiously explained their plan to gather supplies, watching my reaction.
Gathering food and necessities was easy—just swing by occasionally, sweep them into my Inventory, and done.
For me, as long as they managed the place well, I didn't mind.
"What about the kids?"
"One of us will stay behind to watch them."
But I had no desire to control them.
Of course, I wouldn't stop them from taking initiative.
Stuck here all day would get boring, after all.
Or was it their conscience kicking in?
Either way, the fact they felt bold enough to suggest this meant they trusted the place's safety.
With the suits, zombies were no threat... and no Corrupted Beings lurked near the mall.
I respected their drive to find work for themselves.
I'd have just quietly enjoyed the free ride...
They were far more conscientious than me.
Impressed, I patted Chae-won's pretty bob haircut.
"Got it. Supplies are yours to handle. Good luck."
"Yes!"
Chae-won replied happily, for some reason.
"O-oppa, me too!"
Ji-a shoved her head toward me.
It was about time I could commute between worlds comfortably.
They did a great job bringing back supplies.
Ji-a, with her telekinesis for hauling loads, was a fixture; Chae-won and Su-ji took turns hitting the mall.
Seeing them, I figured they'd manage fine even without me.
A month passed peacefully.
By zombie world time, anyway.
Factoring in my trips back and forth, it'd been about two months my time.
In that span, I'd leveled up once and boosted low-cost skills.
〔 Body Strengthening Lv 4 〕
〔 Login Lv 2 〕
〔 Inventory Lv 3 〕
〔 Mana Conversion Master 〕
〔 Dimensional Shop 〕
I'd prioritized low-point skills until now, aiming next for Body Strengthening.
Mana Conversion hit Lv 3 and mastered, adding 'Mana Fixation' for skill use.
Mana that used to disperse after leaving my hand could now be fixed in place for a time.
Handy for ranged attacks.
'Mana drain is the downside.'
Still, gaining a ranged attack skill was satisfying.
And with Suni?
Far more versatile than my basic shots.
I hadn't hunted desperately.
Hunting harder could've netted more skill points.
I could've grinded 24/7 in the zombie world using save points.
But no obsession to push that far.
Hunt moderately, rest, repeat.
Hunting in the zombie world, then rolling in bed with Ji-a all day sometimes; back home, dates with Yu-na or Jae-eun's 'service' at the house.
My life now: women and hunting.
I'd reached the point where I couldn't sleep without a woman.
'Is this good or bad?'
Ji-a lay on my chest, cheek pressed against it, sleeping soundly.
Her squished cheek highlighted the charming little mole under her right eye.
'Probably good.'
It was already bright out.
Around 9 or 10 a.m., roughly.
My dick was still firmly buried in her.
I gripped her soft ass, moving slowly to avoid waking her, stimulating myself.
-Squelch. Squelch.
"Mm."
She let out a small moan sensing my movement but didn't wake.
I understood—she'd been roughed up hard last night.
-Squish. Squish.
Her pussy instinctively clenched around me, a special treat.
"Mmm..."
Savoring the subtle pleasure, I unloaded inside Ji-a.
-Spurt. Splurt. Gush. Gush.
"Hoo..."
Morning quickies like this were routine now.
I carefully lifted Ji-a off me and sat up.
Her pretty face and tousled long hair made even sleeping picturesque.
"Ahng... Oppa... Smack. Smack."
She smacked her lips.
Those glossy, plump lips caught my eye.
I brought my hard dick to her mouth.
"Hahm... Slurp. Slurp."
She parted her lips familiarly, took me in, and started sucking.
'Did she... wake up?'
So natural I almost thought so, but no.
I moved my hips carefully, not too deep, to keep her asleep.
"Slurrrp. Slurp. Slurp."
Even asleep, her blowjob skills were masterful.
'Here it comes...'
-Spurt. Splurt. Splurt. Gush.
"Gulp. Gulp. Slurp. Slurp."
'Is she really asleep?'
Her lips worked my cum down, then sucked my dick again.
The stimulation threatened to harden me right back up.
'No, can't. This'll never end...'
I pulled out of her reluctant mouth.
"Pop~ Ung. Mmm. Smack. Smack."
Ji-a smacked her lips regretfully.
"Hoo..."
I wanted to thrust back in and go again, but held off.
Passing the hall, I peeked into the break room—the awake kids were chatting happily.
Peaceful scene.
'Not bad.'
Su-ji, late to join, blended in well with her affable nature.
Up on the rooftop, Ji-a's neat green garden surrounded the activated save point.
Touching it brought up the message.
Logging out returned me to the familiar living room.
With the zombie world stable, I'd been using save points freely lately.
Jae-eun was probably still asleep.
Yesterday or the day before here, I think.
Manz had notified me that the shield I'd ordered was complete.
Commuting between worlds messed with my sense of time.
'I can take Ji-a's gear to the zombie world with it.'
Check the Manz store first, then spend time with Yu-na.
I could've materialized the shield with mana, but coating existing material was more efficient.
I drove to Hero Mall, where the Manz store was.
After a while driving, Suni warned me.
A disaster alert had come in, apparently.
