The Breeding Matrix
The Association.
Dozens of security guards surrounded a man, their guns pointed at him.
“W-what is your identity...?”
“Release the hostage immediately!”
“......”
I held Shin Eunyeong in one arm.
Her condition was beyond words.
Her eyes were rolled back, tears and snot flowing endlessly.
Her limbs were severed.
The severed parts were cauterized with fire, making them hideous.
And I brought her to the center of the Association.
It was clearly a villainous sight.
At my feet, one man had collapsed, foaming at the mouth.
“G-guard... Awakener...!”
And he was one of the only eight Awakeners in the country.
Since I had subdued him so easily, the guards' vigilance was at its peak.
At that moment, I said.
“Who here has the highest authority?”
“......”
Instantly, the gazes of the people turned to my feet.
“......”
Yeah, an Awakener would have the highest power.
“Not physical power, but bureaucratic authority.”
“......”
No one spoke.
But there was a way to find out without opening their mouths.
I read their thoughts.
[Minister]
Minister?
“Bring him.”
“......?”
They flinched.
“Bring the person called Minister.”
“......!”
[How...!]
“Where is he?”
“He isn't here...!”
“Is that so?”
And I threw Shin Eunyeong to the floor.
“K-kk...!!”
Shin Eunyeong fell to the floor from the shock.
And I disappeared.
“Eh...?”
Instant silence.
The guards froze, staring at the meat-like lump on the floor.
Is this a person?
Who was that man just now?
Why are they looking for the Minister?
These questions swirled in their heads, and they didn't dare approach the woman.
And a moment later.
-Swoosh!!
“......!”
I appeared again.
This time, with a man wearing glasses.
A man.
The Minister.
He was hiding in the bathroom of this building.
Why was the Minister so weak?
“W-what... Even if you do this to me, you think you'll be safe?”
“Yes. I think so.”
“Why are you doing this to me...!”
[This is why I didn't want to assign a Minister...!]
The Minister's thoughts echoed.
So that's how it was.
This guy didn't want to be Minister.
An honorable position with no glory but only responsibility.
One had to flatter the Awakeners, and their mistakes meant one had to take responsibility.
That was the Minister's position.
The Minister's face twisted in fear.
Fear.
Despair.
Anyway, I said to him.
“Why are you so scared?”
“I don't look like it...?”
“......”
I needed to loosen the tension.
I removed my hand from the Minister's neck.
“Go. I'll give you a chance. Don't go far, just 5 meters.”
“......?”
He was momentarily dazed, then received support from the surrounding bodyguards and moved to the opposite side.
As the Minister moved, he glanced at the fallen Awakener and Shin Eunyeong on the floor.
The bodyguards asked the Minister questions.
Now, shall I get to the main point?
“If there is someone who can artificially create Awakeners, would you believe it?”
“...?!”
A chaotic and bewildered situation.
But my words caused the air to freeze for a moment.
“What do you mean by that right now?”
The Minister quickly regained his composure and asked me calmly.
As expected, the Minister's title wasn't just a facade.
He maintained composure quickly.
“I came to find a mopan.”
“What does that mean...?”
“I came to find a woman who gives birth to Awakeners.”
“......”
He didn't believe it?
If so.
I spread my hand and summoned something.
The guards, in panic, pointed their guns at me.
But they didn't fire.
Summoned was a slimy, white substance.
Smelling of night-blooming flowers.
It was semen.
I didn't want to touch it with my hands, but I had to leave a deep impression.
They say summoning magic is rare.
“What is that?”
“Goblin semen.”
“Why...?”
“Since you seem not to believe, I need to show proof.”
And I approached Shin Eunyeong, who was crawling on the floor, and spread her legs.
“O-oh... What are you doing right now...!”
“Relax.”
And I thrust my fist into Shin Eunyeong's brown panties.
-Punch!!
Since it was a beating, this level was fine.
“K-k...!”
Shin Eunyeong was in so much pain she couldn't breathe.
“What are you...!”
“Stay still.”
“Kk...!”
I was kneading inside her, searching for the cervix.
And.
-Squelch!
Found it.
I stayed there for about 30 seconds so the semen would seep into the egg.
Watching this, the Minister.
After that, I withdrew my hand.
-Squish!!
“B-buhae...!!”
Shin Eunyeong was trembling.
And... I cast a spell on her without caring.
“Time is set to one month per second.”
Bright light flashed.
Time acceleration.
So 1 second... 2 seconds... 10 seconds passed.
As time flowed, Shin Eunyeong's belly slowly swelled.
Her breasts also grew.
“W-what... What is that...!”
The Minister was in shock.
Suddenly, a person's belly swelling was somehow terrifying.
Not an alien.
“Now it's done.”
I kicked Shin Eunyeong with my foot.
“Now, give birth.”
“A-ah... A... Ueh...!!”
She vomited.
“Is she okay?!”
One of the bodyguards said.
I nodded.
“......”
He was looking at me as if he didn't believe it.
Anyway, it was just morning sickness.
Since she was pregnant, morning sickness was normal.
Soon, it would be time to give birth.
“A... Aaaaaaaaah!!!!!!”
Now it's done.
Shin Eunyeong was thrashing her limbs.
Sweat was pouring down.
Her hair stuck to her face.
So Shin Eunyeong.
“It hurts!! Uaaaaaaaah!!!!”
-Poojiik!!!
She gave birth to the child.
-Uwaaaaaaaaah!!!
That kid's voice was loud.
Her ears were a bit long, and her skin had a slight blue tint.
“A... A... A..”
The sense of relief after giving birth.
So Shin Eunyeong lost consciousness.
“......”
There was silence.
I cut the umbilical cord and handed the child to one of the bodyguards.
“Be careful. Don't get hurt.”
“Uwa...”
He was in shock.
What am I supposed to do with this child?
“Take her to get an Awakener test. She'll react. That measurement device behind you. Check it immediately.”
Why I had to move to the Association's 13th floor.
It was to proceed everything as quickly as possible.
“Yes?”
“......”
The bodyguards looked at the Minister.
The Minister also had a hesitant expression.
But he nodded.
So.
The bodyguards took a step.
-Uwa!! Uwa!! Uwa!!
While carefully handling the child soaked in breast milk.
Thud thud
Walking carefully to the measurement device.
Then.
-Weeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiing!!!!
“......!!”
The measurement device glowed with rainbow light and started reacting.
“I-it's real...!”
“Then... this child... is an Awakener..!”
What a surprise.
I picked up Shin Eunyeong, who was lying on the floor with her belly sagging.
“It seems the proof is there.”
“......”
I looked at the Minister and said.
Then the Minister.
“What do you want...?”
Seeming to have something in mind, he came forward.
“Minister...!”
“You stay still...!”
The Minister looked at Shin Eunyeong, who was breathing heavily like a pig, and his eyes lit up.
[If I have this... I can end the hardships I've endured so far...!]
Is this the Minister's thought?
Yeah, that was it.
In this world, Awakeners are rare.
The rarer they are, the stronger they are.
One could destroy an entire region with just one person's strength.
And they are essential for destroying the Gates.
So, no matter what atrocities the Awakeners committed, someone had to cover for them.
But since a mopan who can give birth to Awakeners has appeared, such immoral acts will no longer happen.
“What do you want?”
“First, promise me a few things.”
“What?”
“First, do not try to reveal this woman's identity.”
I stroked Shin Eunyeong's chest and said.
Although her limbs were cut, her face was half-decent, so some bodyguards got aroused just looking at it.
“U-ua...”
“Understood.”
[Anyway... The fact that there is a mopan who gives birth to Awakeners must be kept secret...]
Right.
A human who lives like a broodmare her whole life to give birth to Awakeners.
In this day and age, I don't know if human rights organizations exist, but it will cause quite a stir.
“What about the rest?”
“That is...”
I listed the conditions one by one.
This matter must be kept secret.
Do not show mercy to Shin Eunyeong.
Do not feel any guilt and use her only as a tool.
The part about not trying to find out my identity was a suggestion, but I mentioned it.
After listing a few more things I personally wanted, the requirements were complete.
“Understood.. That's enough..”
[There are too many dirty things I want... But.. With this, the atrocities of the Awakeners will end..!]
The Minister smiled.
“However, there is a downside.”
“What is it...?”
There was one rule that must be followed when using Shin Eunyeong as a mopan.
It was.
“She must be bred with otherworldly beings like monsters or animals to give birth.”
Monsters.
After the Gates appeared, monsters like goblins or orcs.
Otherworldly: animals like horses or pigs.
The bodyguards behind the Minister were in shock.
“Orcs... and horses..?”
“Won't they die..?”
“Insane...!”
It's fine. Because I had cast a healing spell on Shin Eunyeong besides the blessing of pregnancy.
As long as her body isn't completely ground into meat, she won't die.
The bodyguards' thoughts, wondering if the Minister was the same, asked cautiously.
“What about humans?”
“Then a normal person would be born.”
“That..!”
At that, I answered immediately.
Without giving room.
“And the second downside, the implantation rate is very low.”
“To what extent..”
“It might not even be one in three hundred breedings.”
“Then I have to breed as much as possible.”
By now, the Minister was treating Shin Eunyeong as a tool.
Good.
“Yes. Throw her into a Gate where goblins or orcs are rampant, and after three days, when you take her out, she should be impregnated.”
Because I had cast a healing spell that wouldn't kill her, even if beaten with an orc's strength, she wouldn't die.
Of course, it wouldn't harm the fetus in her belly either.
Shin Eunyeong herself would suffer, but.
“The birth cycle will be different from normal humans, right?”
“Yes. It will take two days if short, or five days if long.”
“Good.”
“Is it?”
So I sold Shin Eunyeong to the Association as a mopan.
