"You're… back…?"
Seol Hajeong noticed first.
"Lena! Snap out of it!"
"Mm…?"
Lena's dazed eyes slowly regained life.
A sigh of relief escaped her trembling lips.
"We're… back…!"
Hug!
Lena pulled Seol Hajeong and me into a tight embrace.
Seol Hajeong, elated, pressed closer, savoring the return.
Seems I'm the only one feeling the chilling killing intent…
"Get off him. Before I cut you down."
"...?"
The source of the murderous aura was Seol Harin.
"Harin, did you wait long for your sister?"
"Stop talking and get off. You too, Lena."
Seol Hajeong and Lena, too drained to argue, obeyed quietly.
Murmurs rose around us.
Talk of Kim Taeyang taking down the student council president, blah blah…
Another bad rumor's brewing.
Why the hell did we return to a classroom, of all places?
"Hey, sow, put the sword away…?"
Before I could finish, Seol Harin dropped her sword, grabbed my head, and locked me in place.
Then—bam—her lips crashed into mine!
Smack—♡
At a glance, it might seem romantic.
A master and her sow reuniting after a month.
But the reality was different.
Slurrrrp…!!
Slurp, slurp…!!!
Schlup, schlup, schlup—♡
Seol Harin aggressively sucked my tongue.
A depraved kiss straight out of an AV film…!
Why's she kissing like this?
Did I train her too hard?!
"Haa…"
Seol Harin pulled back, a long string of saliva dangling.
Snapping out of it, I realized everyone was staring.
All covering their mouths…
"Hey, sow… I get you're excited, but this is too much. Can't you see everyone watching?"
Seol Harin's eyes blazed with determination.
"Afraid I'll lose the gold medal in the kissing contest with Master?"
"..."
Hey! There's no such contest!
***
- No lie, Ark's totally fucked!!!!!
Kim Taeyang just returned!
He came back with Seol Hajeong and Lena, and they were all kissing at once!!
Looks like Taeyang ate up the student council, lol
↳ Emperor-level kiss, insane
↳ Seol Harin jumped in with a kiss too lol
↳ Three girls fighting to kiss him?
↳ Life goals: be Kim Taeyang…
↳ Yo, for real, our king's back!
↳ Knew he'd survive, but banging the president? Damn, yo!
Our return spread like wildfire.
I thought people would be thrilled I was gone, but ArkGal's vibe was different.
These guys love me online but are scared of me in person?
Stop the slander!!!
For the first time, I posted on ArkGal.
- I'm Kim Taeyang.
Nothing happened with the student council, so shut your traps and pay respects.
That's all.
↳ Yo, why's the real Kim Taeyang not saying "Yo!"?!
↳ At least try, fake Taeyang.
↳ Bastard!!! Dare impersonate me? Got parasites in your brain, huh?!!! For your info, I fucked the student council silly in the dungeon and turned them all into masochist toilets, so touch them without my permission, and I'll fucking kill you!!!! Got it?!!!!
↳ That's him.
↳ The real deal.
↳ Upvote.
↳ Kim Taeyang's on ArkGal lololol
Yeah, ArkGal's bad for my mental health…
Bang!
I was glued to my phone when a plate slammed onto the table.
No, more like dropped.
"Hey, what's with this menu? Plain rice and chicken breast? Worse than the island."
"Just eat it."
By the way, Seol Harin's pissed as hell.
No surprise she's pissed, with me, Seol Hajeong, and Lena like that…
But come on, this is too much!
Plain rice and chicken breast?! Trying to choke me to death?! This is basically an assassination attempt!!!
"..."
She's washing dishes, not even glancing at me.
The chilly vibe in the house is making me uneasy.
Me, worrying about a sow's mood…
Something's seriously flipped here.
I got up and approached Seol Harin.
"Hey, sow."
"...!"
She flinched as I back-hugged her.
"Missed your cooking, you know?"
There's another reason Seol Harin's on edge.
Pomi said she was super depressed while I was gone.
Chloe's got tons of friends, a sneaky strong will, and a tough mentality, but not Seol Harin.
Exaggeration or not, she's a total loner.
Besides me and Chloe, she doesn't have anyone she casually contacts.
"You… did it with big sis and Lena?"
"Huh? Did what?"
"Sex…"
"No way in hell! I don't bang sows who haven't declared themselves properly!!"
"Can I check?"
"?"
Check what, how?
"What're you checking, you obsessive sow?! Gonna squeeze me to measure my cum volume?!!"
"Not a bad idea, but your cum volume recovers in a few hours, so it wouldn't tell me much. I'll use a measuring tool instead."
A sex-measuring tool?
No way that exists, right? That's what I thought, but it was real.

The voice echoed through the entire dorm.
Only then did Seol Harin smile, satisfied.
"Hmph… You didn't lie. I'll remake the food, so wait."
"..."
Seems her anger's cooled off.
The method's a bit weird, though…
Anyway.
That's when Chloe showed up.
"Taeyang! I haven't worked out at all, I'm all flabby now…!"
"Hey! Why're you bragging about that?!"
"Sorry…! Starting today, I'll train till my muscles tear…♡ Punish me by using me as a footrest…!"
Chloe crawled under the table like it was her home.
Seol Harin slid a plate under for her.
"Hey! Why're you casually feeding her on the floor?! Huh?!!"
"It's a special day, so let Chloe-sunbae do what she wants."
Before I could stop her, humanized Pomi and Kkubburi crossed the living room, playing some SM game.
"Woof woof!!"
"Kkubburi Kkubburi~"
This place is fucking chaotic.
Right… this is how my house always was…
But some things had changed.
"O-O Wanderer of Darkness…! Do something about this crazy dog constellation…!!"
"Woof woof woof woof!!!!"
Pomi was biting none other than Hecate.
"What's that? A talking pen?"
"Oh, that's Samsun."
"Samsun…?"
"My new constellation."
Hecate.
She'd joined my constellation lineup.
***
Lena, fully recovered, returned to the dorm.
Despite her quick physical recovery, her sense of reality was only now catching up.
'I can feel mana…'
It'd only been 30 days without mana, but wielding it felt strangely foreign.
'Right, this is the feeling.'
She adapted quickly.
Lena was an outstanding student.
But now, she risked falling into obscurity.
'Hecate-nim…'
Hecate was gone.
She'd abandoned Lena to become Kim Taeyang's bound constellation.
A decision made back on the island.
'Is this my limit…?'
Lena stood alone in the middle of her room, feeling infinitesimally small.
Some heroes thrive without constellations, usually those never chosen to begin with.
But almost none remain heroes after losing one.
Humans struggle to accept a fall.
Then, a knock at the door.
Click.
Waiting outside was Seol Hajeong.
"P-President…!"
Memories from the island flashed through her mind.
Ignoring Seol Hajeong, speaking informally.
Sneaking to Kim Taeyang's shelter nightly, mocking her.
Presumptuously preaching "truth"…
Her shameful actions made her tremble.
"P-President… I-I'm sorry… Back then, I wasn't myself…"
Lena thought Seol Hajeong was here to punish her.
Her actions on the island were unforgivable, especially given Seol Hajeong's past kindness.
- Girls can do nothing.
The phrase Lena once believed was truth now felt like a vile traitor's excuse.
"Lena."
"!"
Seol Hajeong grabbed her hand.
Surprisingly, it was warm.
"Forget what happened on the island."
"President…?"
"You didn't have a choice, right?"
"...!"
It wasn't empty words.
Lena realized again.
'This is the difference between the president and me… She doesn't let emotions sway her. She thinks and judges coldly for victory…'
Seol Hajeong.
This was why Lena chose to follow her.
"We need to aim higher and farther."
"…You're right."
"I'm genuinely interested in him now. Not like that—I mean, for the first time in a while, I've found someone I truly want to defeat."
Even without her saying it, Lena could tell.
Seol Hajeong's eyes burned with intrigue and ambition.
"Lena, that curse—you still have it, don't you?"
Lena had long prepared a curse for Kim Taeyang.
But it was tied to Hecate's stigma.
"The curse's power remains, but without Hecate-nim, I can't cast it."
"No, you can. I have an artifact."
"An artifact…?"
"It can temporarily activate the stigma's power within you."
With such an item, the curse was possible.
But Lena wasn't sure.
'I don't hold a grudge against Taeyang. We cleared up the misunderstandings…'
She didn't want to antagonize him.
He'd helped her on the island, and they'd resolved past issues.
But.
"Please, Lena. Help me just this once."
Lena owed her.
A debt she could never refuse.
"…When should I cast it?"
***
"Outstanding student awards will now be presented. For their calm handling of the recent dungeon incident, first-year Kim Taeyang, third-year Lena Erandel, and Seol Hajeong…"
The entire school gathered In the auditorium.
They were awarding students who survived the dungeon.
I thought there'd be an artifact or something, but it's just a certificate.
Well, the real reward came a few days before clearing the dungeon…
Anyway, the ceremony was just a hassle.
I went up to receive the award.
The PR team begged me to wear the school uniform for photos, so I did, for once.
Was it always this uncomfortable…?
Hawaiian shirts are the best.
"Seol Hajeong, well done."
"Thank you."
Clap, clap, clap—
Thunderous applause erupted.
Lena received her certificate next, and then it was my turn.
"Kim Taeyang, great work—"
I was about to accept the certificate when—
"Taeyang!! Stop!!!"
"Huh?"
Chloe burst into the auditorium.
"It's a student council trap!!! Lena-unnie's gonna—mmph!!"
She was quickly restrained by what seemed to be student council enforcers.
Probably caught wind of something through the disciplinary team's wiretapping…
A trap?
I've got no clue what's going on.
They wouldn't try to kill me in front of everyone, right?
The truth came out soon enough.
Lena whispered in my ear.
"Taeyang, I'm sorry. It's nothing personal."
"Huh? What're you talking about, useless sow?!"
Lena removed her mask.
A gesture for casting a curse.
"Kim Taeyang, strip naked and piss yourself."
"?"
A curse?
My curse-reflecting teddy should block it, right?
BOOM—!
Or so I thought, but Lena's curse was stronger than expected.
My uniform tore to shreds.
In front of the entire school, I was stark naked…!
"Kyaa—!"
"His clothes ripped?!"
The auditorium buzzed.
I should've been embarrassed, but I'm Kim Taeyang—my brain's wired for pride, not shame.
"Hey! You want me to show off?! Yo!! Front double biceps!!!"
My body, against my will, struck a bodybuilder pose, flexing my massive biceps.
Naturally, everyone's eyes weren't on my biceps but my dick.
Seol Harin, in the front row, muttered.
"Worship the Almighty Cock…"
She knelt on one knee.
Park Woo-yoo, beside her, quickly followed.
"W-Worship the Almighty Cock!!"
That was the spark.
The ranch kids all knelt, shouting:
"Worship the Almighty Cock!"
"Worship the Almighty Cock!!"
"All kneel and worship the Almighty Cock!!!"
"???"
They say if three people do something, it becomes a group trend, right?
Once the ranch's cattle knelt, even unrelated students followed.
Even the seniors…!
"W-Worship the Almighty Cock?"
"Do we have to?"
"Dunno, just kneel."
"Damn, that size is insane… Worship!"
On the auditorium stage, me, naked, flexing muscles.
Students kneeling, muttering "Worship the Almighty Cock…"
Feels like I'm some cult leader or something!!!
Shockingly, the curse didn't end there.
"Urk…?!"
Guess my curse-reflecting teddy wasn't completely useless.
Lena was pissing herself on stage.
"L-Lena-sunbae's pissing!"
"She pissed seeing Kim Taeyang's naked body?!"
"Making a girl piss with just his nakedness…!"
Seems there's a misunderstanding.
But.
Lena wasn't the only one.
Chloe was pissing too.
"Ahh…! Taeyang! I'm pissing too…♡"
"Hey, hey!!! Why the hell are you pissing?!!!"
Classic masochist Chloe!
Pissing in front of everyone without even being cursed…!
Are you sane…?!
"Chloe-sunbae's pissing too!"
"What's with Kim Taeyang's naked body?!"
"He's making girls piss just by exposing himself…!!"
"I-I think I need to pee too…!"
Female students started striking piss-holding poses.
Hey!!! Stop this reckless pleasure-pissing!!!
You've got no reason to pee!!!!!
