Chapter 76: I Have to Train Chun-hyang, Then Sleep With Her
"Daddy!"
My daughter came running toward me, her little feet pitter-pattering on the ground.
Perhaps because I had raised her as the apple of my eye, she frequently flashed a bright smile that suggested she hadn't a single fear in the world.
She was the living embodiment of happiness.
My Lord.
"I think I finally understand why elders say the world changes once you have children."
To think a moment like this, which never occurred even during Lee Tae-ok’s life, would find me here.
Baek Tae-yang had truly changed so much of my life.
At first, I had wandered aimlessly, lost after being thrust into this novel.
But now, I had grown enough to form such a wonderful family for all to see.
"Daddyyyyy!"
Without a care for falling, she sprinted toward me and dove straight into my arms.
Despite throwing all her weight forward into the run, she didn't stumble even once.
It was clear exactly whose physical abilities she had inherited.
I didn't know about other 'spoons,' but my daughter had certainly been born with a 'muscle spoon.'
Not only did she inherit it, but I had also started coaching her from a young age to make the most of it.
She was only eight, but she had the skill to easily handle opponents twice her age.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Even now, after a brief hug, she started shadowboxing skillfully as if her body were itching for movement.
Her rhythmic breathing was precise, and her punches were straight and true.
"Daddy, look! I can finally do a hook now!"
"Oh, our daughter is so smart!"
She wasn't just throwing honest straight punches anymore; she was slightly turning her arm as she threw the hook.
She even followed up with a seamless transition into an elbow strike, incorporating Muay Thai techniques. It was nothing short of magnificent.
"You really learn ten things when I only teach you one."
"Of course! And I didn't get a single question wrong on the Thousand Character Classic at the village school today. Pretty great, right?"
"Exactly! Our daughter is a total genius!"
My Lord.
This moment was truly blissful.
My second life didn't truly begin when I possessed Baek Tae-yang; it began when I started a family as him.
From marrying a lovely wife to the overwhelming emotion of having a daughter who looked just like a cute little rabbit.
'I could draw this scene even with my eyes closed.'
Naturally, as I thought of my wife, her voice drifted from afar, as if proving the old saying that even a nobleman shouldn't be spoken of behind his back.
"My Lord~ the results for the Civil Service Examination are out~"
"...Ah... right... that's right..."
My joyful emotions plummeted as if they were skydiving.
An exam with an absurd cycle of once every three years.
There were rumors of irregular exams being held, but that had never happened so far.
The novel likely wanted 'Lee Mong-ryong, who passes the regular triennial exam as the valedictorian.'
"The result?"
"Well, that is..."
Chun-hyang’s face, which had been beaming at me, gradually darkened.
It was written all over her face how much she was agonizing over how to break the news to me gently.
In truth, I had already given up to some extent.
For twelve long years, the guy hadn't even passed, let alone become the valedictorian.
Expecting a top-tier pass now was just ridiculous.
"It's okay. Honestly, I suspected as much."
"Still..."
Chun-hyang gently hugged me to offer comfort.
'...Should I just kill Min-su?'
Min-su hadn't even managed to step over the threshold of the exam for over a decade.
Once, wondering what on earth he was doing to fail so consistently, I had tried to go to Hanyang myself.
However, as if the novel wouldn't allow it, it refused to let the [Pimp] leave the village.
It seemed the story was trying to prevent any variables, and in a sense, it was a perfect blockade.
"My Lord... but why are you sweating so much?"
"Sweat?"
I was sweating?
Was I suffering from dehydration because of the sheer futility of it all?
When I looked at my palms, they were indeed drenched.
No, it was beyond just being drenched; I started sweating so much it felt like my body was melting.
The surrounding scenery began to blur, and Chun-hyang’s face before me started to fade.
"What... what is this...!"
Mist? Was there some kind of fog?
Was I being treated as a failure because I hadn't progressed the story enough?
Just then, the voice that had been calling out to me earlier thundered across the sky.
My Lord, wake up!
"...!"
"Ah, My Lord, you're awake... I'm sorry if I woke you for nothing. You were sweating so much and seemed to be in such pain..."
"It... it was a dream."
When I regained my senses and looked around, I was in the [Pimp's] room, the first place I'd arrived at in the Gate.
Beside me, Wol-hyang was naked, cradled in my arms, looking up at me with concern.
Her pale, naked body shimmered strangely in the moonlight, and despite my shock, I felt an immediate erection.
"...Right... I was so shocked to hear that Kim Min-su couldn't even memorize Hanja..."
—What? You don't know Hanja? What kind of bastard are you! Hey, you crazy prick! Then you can't even take the exam!
—Hah! You Pimp, who's lower than a butcher! My common sense is completely different from the world you lived in! Not knowing anything just means I'm like a sponge, okay? You jerk! Do you even know what a sponge is? You don't, do you? There's this thing called a sponge, and it absorbs water really well, and it's great for washing dishes—anyway, that's what I am right now! A completely dry sponge! So I'm gonna, uh! Hey! Don't look down on me! I lost back then, but I'll absorb this thing called knowledge into my brain like water and become the valedictorian in no time!
—...
As I closed my eyes and recalled that moment, a headache immediately rushed in.
Kim Min-su’s sudden outbursts, his volume that disregarded everyone around him, his vast monologues, and his inferiority complex.
He had only opened his mouth once, but Min-su had dealt me massive damage.
Falling into despair at the thought that I might never leave this Gate, I had come straight to this room.
Afterward, to vent my frustration, I had summoned Wol-hyang, fucked her like a dog, and tried to sleep.
"...Just give me some water..."
Honey water.
"Yes, please wait a moment, My Lord."
Wol-hyang gracefully put on her clothes and left the room.
'Maybe a proxy exam...'
But there was no one who knew Hanja particularly well.
If I had learned Hanja properly, I would have done it myself.
I barely suppressed a curse and looked out the window.
The moon was shining round and bright, without a single worry in the world.
'Am I really going to end up settling down here like in that dream?'
It was strange that Chun-hyang was my wife in the dream, but such trivial details didn't matter.
The dream had been so realistic that my thoughts kept spiraling toward the worst possible outcomes.
'The [Pimp] being unable to leave the area... the lack of irregular exams...'
All of it could easily be the reality here.
Since these fears weren't entirely baseless, my brow furrowed naturally.
"My Lord, I have brought the honey water."
"Right, thank you."
I took the honey water Wol-hyang brought and parched my throat.
"Hey, Wol-hyang."
"Yes, My Lord."
"How long do you think it would take for someone who knows absolutely no Hanja to become the valedictorian of the Civil Service Exam?"
"Are you planning to take the exam?"
"No, not me. Just on average."
"Phew..."
She let out a sigh of relief at the news that it wasn't me.
It was likely a sigh of relief that I wasn't dreaming of something that would probably never happen in a lifetime.
I didn't even have the energy to call her out on it.
"Hmm... but My Lord, even those who know Hanja very well often fail to pass. Not long ago, there was someone who studied for the exam for twenty years, failed everything, and caused a scene in the street, crying and screaming that he was going to kill himself."
I hadn't expected much from Wol-hyang’s answer.
Still, I thought she might say something like, 'No matter how stupid they are, wouldn't it take about six years if they worked hard?'
'So even after twenty years, those who aren't meant to pass just won't.'
The sweet honey water flowed down my throat, but my mood didn't improve at all.
'Seriously, what kind of Gate did that Chubby Ahn bastard make and tell me to clear?'
Why on earth was this a Gate for Kim Min-su?
I could end up wasting decades here without being able to do anything.
The idea that the first step to Awakening was memorizing Hanja was utter bullshit.
"...My Lord, if you aren't too tired..."
This girl's body grows hot when I am in your arms.
As soon as I finished the honey water and set the cup down, Wol-hyang slid into my embrace.
With a soft rustle, she shed her clothes and began to stroke my body.
She signaled her intent openly, her silken hands brushing against my inner thighs.
When I first opened my eyes, she had a face that didn't seem too keen on it, but after getting a taste once, she seemed to have become completely addicted.
Then again, no matter how much times change, a man equipped with a 'black python' is the ultimate sex symbol.
Who would dislike being swept away by a storm of pleasure before they even have time to think?
"Ahem..."
No matter how angry I was, I still had to get laid.
I grabbed Wol-hyang’s firm buttocks and pulled her onto my lap.
Perhaps because she had learned the cowgirl position from me, she naturally wrapped her legs around my waist.
"Ahhh...! It's... it's too deep, My Lord... hnnngh...!"
Without needing any foreplay, I thrust my cock into her already soaking pussy.
'Wait, could this be it?'
A flash of inspiration struck my mind.
Since Wol-hyang existed within the Gate, there was a high probability she was treated as a 'monster.'
In fact, everyone except Kim Min-su and me was essentially a 'monster.'
'...The proof is that Virgin Bomber activated on Seong Chun-hyang.'
But no message had appeared when I first held Wol-hyang, nor was one appearing now.
This meant only one thing.
Wol-hyang was not a virgin, and Chun-hyang was.
Which meant I could potentially steal someone's skill by activating Virgin Bomber.
That was the only variable left.
I didn't know what kind of skill Kim Min-su had, but this was the only way.
'I have to train Chun-hyang, then even sleep with her.'
The fact that I had to have sex with a boss monster wasn't exactly pleasant.
While Wol-hyang felt like an ordinary person who couldn't use a single skill, Seong Chun-hyang had actually activated one.
The scariest part was that [Virgin Bomber] wouldn't activate if she wasn't a virgin.
In other words, if I didn't train her perfectly, she might turn on me after I slept with her.
'I'll have to start some serious SM play tomorrow.'
Why do I have to consider sleeping with a boss monster because of this bastard Kim Min-su?
When will Min-su ever be helpful in my life?
"Ahhh... My Lord... haaa... I... my body feels so itchy... it's strange... ahhh... hnnngh...!"
I held the trembling Wol-hyang tightly and turned my body toward the direction of Chun-hyang’s room.
And then, a sight that nearly made my heart stop unfolded before my eyes.
'...!'
I almost screamed, forgetting that our bodies were still joined.
'What the...?'
With her eyes wide open, Chun-hyang had the door flung wide and was staring right at us.
