The Chapel of Beginnings, located in the First District of the Atlantis Continent, has over fifty separate dormitory buildings.
Exiles arrive in Atlantis at regular intervals, with each wave numbering at least a thousand. During peak periods, the number can exceed two thousand, necessitating such a large number of dormitories.
This time, 1,724 Exiles arrived in Atlantis.
Rumor has it that I'm the last Exile to arrive in Atlantis. Those who came before me are already resting in the dormitories and will begin their training tomorrow.
Less than 10% of these Exiles will join the Legion. The rest will likely live as wanderers.
Settling in a major city like the Chapel of Beginnings is nearly impossible for Exiles, as they arrive with no possessions.
After about three months, half of the 1,700 Exiles will be dead.
The safe districts of Atlantis require periodic taxes. Those who fail to pay are expelled beyond the district walls.
However, this tax only applies to Exiles who arrived in Atlantis from other worlds.
Continentals those born in Atlantis or who have resided there since its founding are exempt from this tax.
If you can't pay the tax, you'll have to live in areas infested with monsters. Most Exiles aren't Hunters, just ordinary people. They won't survive long outside the districts.
Whether on Earth or here, money remained the ultimate currency.
I gazed up at the dormitory building, a five-story structure made of wood and stone. While it couldn't compare to modern buildings in terms of luxury, it was remarkably clean, suggesting consistent maintenance.
"I heard the dorms are co-ed."
Each person gets their own room.
Showers and dining halls are located elsewhere. The dorms are simply places to sleep.
Accidents or crimes in the dorms? This isn't modern-day Earth where human rights are protected. The Hundredfold Balance Society shows no mercy to criminals. Once a verdict is reached, it's immediate execution.
Just recently, four men who caused a riot were executed. Three were burned alive, and one was reportedly torn apart.
"If you get powers and start acting like you're hot stuff without knowing your place, you're just asking for trouble."
I paused as I was about to enter the dorm. I'd run into someone coming out: ebony hair cascading down to her thighs, sharp eyes on a cold face, tall stature, and a massive F-cup bust. Ju Seohyun.
"The Lord of the Heavens watches with keen interest."
A sly smile crept across my lips. In contrast, Ju Seohyun's face hardened, her gaze burning with murderous intent.
"Long time no see, Ju Seohyun."
As I approached her, she retreated, as if trying to distance herself from me.
"...Long time no see?"
It was a mistake.
From my perspective, it had been an eternity, but for Ju Seohyun, only a few hours had passed.
"Those few hours felt like an eternity to me."
I grinned mischievously, closing the distance between us. Ju Seohyun's back brushed the dormitory wall, but she stayed where she was, glaring at me instead of stepping away.
I braced my right hand against the wall beside her, meeting her gaze. Her pupils flickered slightly, but she didn't avert her eyes.
I reached out and placed my hand on Ju Seohyun's waist. When she didn't push me away, my fingers slipped beneath her blouse, inching upward toward her full breasts. Soon, my hand found its target. I tugged down her bra just enough to cup one of her breasts too large to fit in a single hand and began to knead it.
"Just as I thought massive tits. And those nipples are hard as rocks, like they've been waiting for me to touch them."
"Shut up and get out of my way."
"What's the rush? Got a hot date?"
"I need to go eat dinner. Move."
"Nothing special then."
I leaned down, and after a brief, challenging pause, Ju Seohyun met my lips with her own. But I had to jerk my head back immediately. She had bitten my lip, drawing blood that trickled down my chin. If I'd tried to slip my tongue in, it would have been a disaster.
"..."
Ju Seohyun watched me silently wipe the blood from the back of my hand before turning and walking toward the dining area.
As I watched her retreating figure, I thought:
Should I just crush that pride of hers? ...No. That's her charm, her unique appeal.
I retrieved the remote control from my Inventory.
It was the remote that controlled the vibrations of the chastity belt Ju Seohyun had agreed to keep wearing after the tutorial.
Click.
At my questioning glance, Ju Seohyun shot me a defiant look, then gave a tight nod.
I set the vibration level to 7, the highest intensity.
The two dildos attached to the chastity belt the smaller ones inserted into her vagina and anus began to vibrate violently.
"Hngh?!"
Ju Seohyun lost her balance and collapsed to the floor. Instinctively, she covered her crotch with both hands. Her large, denim-clad hips looked particularly alluring.
"You've already handed me control of that belt for tonight, and you dare bite my lip? Are you crazy?"
I approached Ju Seohyun with a leisurely stride.
As I drew closer, the buzzing of a dildo became audible.
Ju Seohyun grimaced and glared up at me.
"Stop it... lower it a little!"
"You could've just said so. Biting me wasn't necessary."
I crouched down right in front of her, meeting her gaze. Ju Seohyun fidgeted nervously.
"I can tolerate some resistance. But biting? That's too far. Look, you even made my lip bleed."
"...Hmph."
I cupped Ju Seohyun's face with my right hand. Her face was so breathtakingly beautiful that I couldn't stay angry over a mere lip bite.
"I'll let it slide this time. It's the first time we've met since you came to Atlantis, right? Seo Hyeon-ah, remember this: this is the only exception."
I gently touched her soft lips with my thumb.
"If this happens again, you'll only make things harder on yourself."
I continued, not wanting to provoke Ju Seohyun past the point of reason. She needed something to aim at so she could keep that fierce spirit alive.
"The only way you can shut me up is by defeating me. Remember what the tutorial said? If you win against me in a fight, I'll hand back the key I've been holding for you, and you can decide for yourself whether to keep wearing the chastity belt. Let me make this clear: I'll give you one chance to fight me every week. But in return, stop turning every little thing into a pointless brawl."
"...Really? You're really giving me a chance once a week?"
"I have no reason to lie about something like this."
I slid my thumb to Ju Seohyun's lips. Just moments ago, she would have bitten down without hesitation. Now, though she glared at me with murderous intent, she only opened her mouth after a brief pause.
After teasing the inside of her mouth with my thumb, I leaned in again. This time, Ju Seohyun met my kiss, tense but deliberate.
Her tongue is moving. Her body remembers what happened last time. Or, from her perspective, was it just a few hours ago? Heh.
After enjoying her tongue, I used the remote to stop the chastity belt's vibrations.
I helped Ju Seohyun to her feet and draped my arm over her shoulder. When she stayed close instead of pulling away, my hand slid up to fondle her ample breasts.
"...Kek."
"You said you were going to the dining hall for dinner, right? Let's go together."
"Sung Yujin, I will kill you with my own hands."
"Okay, okay."
I nodded vaguely in response.
Ju Seohyun had a high chance of surpassing me in the future. After all, she would later become one of the strongest individuals in Atlantis, known as the Sword Empress.
As if I'd just sit back and do nothing. Heh.
As I fondled Ju Seohyun's chest, my mind began racing, formulating plans for the future.
I have a plan for everything.
Bread, meat stew, salad.
This was the standard meal provided by the Chapel of Beginnings. There was no breakfast, only lunch and dinner. Every day, we received the same two meals, always the same menu.
The Exiles had no right to complain. After enduring countless hardships during the tutorial, they should be grateful for a safe place to sleep and regular meals.
Of course, some Exiles might harbor secret resentments.
Those bastards have no choice but to keep their mouths shut. They wouldn't want to be kicked out.
It's crucial to remember this isn't modern-day Earth.
Squeeze, squeeze.
I ate my meal with my left hand, fondling Ju Seohyun's breasts as she sat beside me. All eyes in the room were naturally drawn to us, but I paid them no mind. Ju Seohyun's face flushed crimson as she desperately focused on her food.
"The salad's bland, the bread's trash, but the meat stew is actually pretty good, right?"
"...Shut up. Don't talk to me."
"So cold."
"Hmph..."
I tightened my grip on her chest, crushing her large breasts. I could feel the frantic stares of several men watching us. They probably thought we were just a perverted couple.
"Mr. Sung Yujin!"
Someone called my name. I tilted my head to look at the woman who had called me.
A beautiful woman with long black hair was gazing at me with teary eyes, clearly overwhelmed by our reunion.
Yu Seohee was a woman I had trained during the tutorial. Beside her stood her younger sister, Yu Inha, who quietly bowed her head in greeting.
"Long time no see. Nothing happened while I was gone, right?"
"No, nothing. But I was so worried about you, Mr. Sung Yujin..."
Yu Seohee pulled up a chair and sat beside me. Instinctively, I reached out with my right hand and touched her chest.
"Ah..."
Hmm?
Something about Yu Seohee seemed different. Her breasts felt slightly fuller, her skin looked clearer, and she exuded an inexplicably alluring aura.
"Seohee, you seem to have gotten even sexier while I was away?"
"Really? That's good."
"Is that... Ugh... Should I be saying this now?"
I glanced around. Many eyes were on us. The men stared at me with envy, while the women glared as if I were scum.
"We've finished dinner. Let's head back to the dormitory. Ju Seohyun, you come too."
"Yes, Mr. Sung Yujin. But... who's the woman beside you? Ju Seohyun? Why...?"
Yu Seohee asked me, her gaze wary as she eyed Ju Seohyun. There seemed to be a hint of jealousy in her voice.
I whispered in Yu Seohee's ear, "She's just like you."
"...Ah."
Ju Seohyun and Yu Seohee entered my room. I sent Yu Inha back to her own room; I didn't want any men in my space.
The dormitory room was sparsely furnished with just a bed, a desk, and a chair. The bed was old and narrow, but it was manageable.
I asked Yu Seohee for the full story and demanded to see her Status Window. Without hesitation, she showed it to me.
Name: Yu Seohee
Class: Succubus
Title: -
Divine Throne: -
Affiliation: STQ 81 ??
Strength: 11 Agility: 13 Stamina: 13 Mana: 17 Luck: 5
Unique Trait: Silence (C)
Trait: Succubus Body (B)
Skill: Seduction (C)
There was only one unusual detail:
Class: Succubus.
According to Yu Seohee, the only class available to her was Succubus, so she chose it. Her younger sister, Yu Inha, had selected Magician.
A Succubus class... That's not even in the official lore.
Yu Seohee's slightly larger breasts and improved skin were due to her Succubus Body (B). Her above-average physical abilities also stemmed from this trait.
Rumor had it that her height was increasing, and her breasts and hips were gradually growing larger over time. Conversely, her waist was said to be becoming more slender.
Moreover, the more male essence she absorbed, the stronger she became. The extent of this power boost remained unknown.
If she's a succubus, her vision must have changed too. I need to confirm this.
Seduction (C) was a mental skill that could overwhelm a target's rationality.
With this level of ability... she's already among the top-tier Exiles, even as a newcomer.
Yu Seohee had never imagined she would become so powerful.
"...Mr. Sung Yujin, how do I look? Can I finally be of help to you now?"
"Of course I can help. If you keep training diligently, you'll become even stronger."
I pulled Yu Seohee into a tight embrace, roughly unbuttoning her blouse. The torn buttons clattered to the floor.
"Ah... This was my only outfit..."
"I can get you as many clothes as you want."
I stripped off her skirt and stockings. She moved easily to help me undress, and we were naked in an instant.
I sat on the edge of the bed, Yu Seohee perched on my lap, her arms wrapped around my neck and shoulders as she leaned against me.
"Mr. Sung Yujin... I've missed you so much..."
The Lord of the Heavens is watching with keen interest.
