"This is..."
My pupils widened as I examined the commission request. Its contents were utterly bizarre.
Pesica's commissions typically involved dirty work: assassinations, theft, escorting targets, or transporting illicit goods.
Among these, I preferred contract killings and theft. The reason was simple: they could be completed quickly. As a member of Kang Myungjin's Legion, A-Plan, I couldn't afford to take on time-consuming assignments.
But this is neither.
There was no reward, no restrictions just a single instruction: report to a specific location in two weeks. This was clearly an anomalous request.
"Are you playing a prank? A prank with all the humor of a rat's dropping."
"You think I'd do something like that?"
"Now that I think about it, you probably wouldn't."
I examined the request form. The idea of using heat or special solutions to reveal hidden writing crossed my mind, but I quickly dismissed it. Pesica would never resort to such tricks.
"...You're not going to explain?"
"The request form explains everything. Why would I need to?"
"..."
If Pesica wouldn't make a mistake, and the request form isn't faulty...
I racked my brain.
The answer came easily.
A trap? Pesica would never fail to notice such a thing. And if she were trying to trap me, she wouldn't use such a clumsy method. She'd prepare a trap so subtle I wouldn't even realize it was there.
Pesica must know who the client is. She never takes on suspicious jobs. So, if that's the case...
The answer came easily:
Helten.
Helten, one of Atlantis's most notorious criminal organizations, wants to see me.
My goal is to join Helten, but... this is happening too fast.
I glanced at Pesica. She was waiting for my decision, her lips pressed tightly together.
If this isn't a trap, it's an opportunity.
"Alright. I accept the commission."
"Understood. Now get out."
"Wait, just a moment. Can you tell me anything about this commission?"
"No."
Pesica cut me off sharply and stood up. She scowled fiercely and shouted at me, "How long are you going to keep slacking off?! Get out of here now! If you slack off here again, there won't be any commissions for you!"
"Understood."
I picked up Kasha and, with a firm grip, headed outside.
A-Plan Legion.
This was the Legion led by Kang Myungjin as Master. The founding members, including Kang Myungjin and myself, totaled seven the current number of members in A-Plan.
Kang Myungjin, Lee Minjung, Kim Mangi, Yu Seohee, Yu Inha, Ju Seohyun, and myself.
Currently, everyone except Kim Mangi and I were engaged in combat training, with Kang Myungjin overseeing their drills.
Kim Mangi, as the Administrator, wasn't a combatant.
Having earned Kang Myungjin's approval of my skills, I was tasked with hunting monsters and collecting Pennies to maintain the Legion's finances.
And, incidentally, I also fulfilled Kang Myungjin's requests.
That bastard Kang Myungjin... He's been taking advantage of me too easily lately...
Ever since I brought back the Purification Pearl, Kang Myungjin has been giving me all sorts of orders, as if my reputation has improved.
As a member of the A-Plan Legion, I couldn't ignore Kang Myungjin's requests, which were essentially commands.
I was hoping to leech off Kang Myungjin... Ugh. Damn it.
It wasn't like Kang Myungjin was slacking off either. In fact, he was arguably busier than me. He was personally training the Legion members, who looked like chicks ready to drop dead at the slightest tap.
When I arrived at the cheap house on the outskirts of the City of the Beginning, I ran into Kim Mangi, who was just stepping outside.
He was an ordinary-looking man in his early thirties. He greeted me with a nod.
"You're here. You're a bit late. The Master was worried."
"Yes, there was an accident along the way. But I managed to secure the items properly."
I handed Kim Mangi the backpack I was carrying. Inside were the potions.
"Understood. I'll organize them right away."
Kim Mangi took the potion backpack and hurried off.
I remained wary of Kim Mangi. Though his combat skills were virtually nonexistent, he was quick-witted and exceptionally perceptive.
He's too capable to just kill.
Without Kim Mangi, the A-Plan Legion wouldn't function properly.
Entering the house, I immediately headed to the underground training facility. Unless we were out hunting monsters in real combat, training sessions usually took place there.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As soon as I descended the stairs, the sound of clashing weapons filled the air. In the center of the training hall, Kang Myungjin, wielding a spear, and Ju Seohyun, with a sword, were engaged in a sparring match.
Lee Minjung is watching from the corner... Yu Seohee and Yu Inha must have gone to receive magic training from a retired Magician.
Kang Myungjin and Ju Seohyun's sparring match was surprisingly even. I had expected Kang Myungjin to dominate, but in reality, Ju Seohyun could counterattack if he let his guard down even slightly. If Kang Myungjin's Stats were lower than Ju Seohyun's, she would likely win the match.
This is a good opportunity to gauge Kang Myungjin's skills. I should keep watching.
Of course, observing the sparring match alone wouldn't reveal the full extent of their abilities. They weren't fighting to kill each other, so they wouldn't be pulling out their hidden techniques or fighting at full power.
...He's weaker than I thought.
If I were to fight Kang Myungjin seriously, I'm confident I could kill him within three minutes. My stats are far superior to his.
But conversely... if our stats were equal... victory wouldn't be guaranteed.
This realization made Ju Seohyun appear different. Even if she's a genius, isn't she becoming stronger too quickly?
...It's because of me.
Ju Seohyun is grinding her teeth, determined to kill me. She spars with me weekly, driven by the condition that if she wins, I'll give her the key to the chastity belt. If she loses, she must obey my commands.
Shortly after, the battle ended.
I approached Kang Myungjin and Ju Seohyun.
Ju Seohyun scowled and glared at me the moment she saw me, her hatred palpable. I grinned at her.
How arrogant. I'll have to teach him a lesson later. Heh heh.
Kang Myungjin looked at me and spoke.
"You're here."
"Yeah."
Kang Myungjin and I exchanged curt words. Having formed the Legion and lived together for nearly a month, we'd grown accustomed to speaking casually with each other.
But we weren't friends. Neither Kang Myungjin nor I considered the other a friend.
"The potions?"
"Successfully retrieved. Just as you said, there was a large stash hidden in Territory 8. Oh, I gave them to Man Gi."
"Good. Well done."
Later, as I was about to approach Ju Seohyun, Kang Myungjin asked me,
"Yujin, do you know anything about the Heavenly Demon?"
I didn't panic. I'd anticipated Kang Myungjin would ask about this eventually. From his perspective, the Heavenly Demon was a sudden, inexplicable figure he couldn't afford to ignore.
"You mean the Heavenly Demon who wears a grotesque clown mask and black robes? I've heard rumors about him a pervert and a murderous maniac. Definitely someone I want to avoid getting involved with."
I said nonchalantly. Kang Myungjin didn't reply, listening quietly. His poker face was so good it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Don't you know any details about the Heavenly Demon? Like his origins, skills, or affiliation?"
"No. What I told you earlier is all I know. If you're really curious, I could investigate, but with that clown mask, he probably won't be easy to track down..."
"...No. That won't be necessary. We have more pressing matters to focus on."
"You mean conquering Area 601?"
"Exactly. We've been preparing for this. As planned, we'll begin the assault on Area 601 in three days."
After saying that, Kang Myungjin went upstairs first. Lee Minjung, who had been watching the sparring match from a corner, bowed to me and hurriedly followed Kang Myungjin. She was still clinging to him like a leech.
Ju Seohyun ignored me and tried to go upstairs, but I grabbed her wrist and stopped her. Ju Seohyun snapped irritably, "What?"
"Do you think I have any business with you besides this?" I grinned slyly, took the sword from her hand, and slowly began to peel off her cheap training uniform.
Ju Seohyun bit her lip, glaring at me but offering no resistance.
Beneath the uniform was a sweat-soaked T-shirt. The white fabric clung to her skin, revealing the black bra beneath.
"Sung Yujin," I said, "you haven't forgotten about the sparring match tonight, have you?"
"Ah, is it already today?"
I stripped off her T-shirt and pants, grinning at the sweat-soaked panties clinging to her chastity belt.
Ju Seohyun's cheeks flushed crimson. Even after all this time, she still blushed and felt embarrassed every time. It was quite amusing.
"Why don't you just skip this week? You know you can't beat me anyway."
"Don't be ridiculous. You think I'd throw away an opportunity? As long as there's even a 1% chance... I won't give up. Even if I can't kill you today, there'll be another chance next week. And if I fail next week too, someday... someday I'll definitely kill you."
I stripped off all of Ju Seohyun's underwear. When I unhooked her bra, her F-cup breasts swayed. As I quietly stared at her pink nipples, they hardened despite not being touched.
"Kill. Kill. Damn, you're noisy. If you lose to me tonight... you'll be having sex in the streets. Remember that."
"Grrr."
Ju Seohyun gritted her teeth in frustration.
Click!
I unlocked her chastity belt with a key, revealing her pink pussy beneath a thick bush of pubic hair.
I stepped back and scanned her naked body from head to toe.
"Hmm. Still a tempting figure. Big breasts, a slender waist... and those legs are particularly striking."
I admired Ju Seohyun's body for a full ten minutes without touching her. Yet I noticed her pussy was already slightly wet.
"Your pussy's wet even though I haven't done anything. You filthy bitch. You're actually enjoying this, aren't you?"
"...Shut up, Sung Yujin."
"Alright, alright."
I smirked at Ju Seohyun before issuing my command.
"Breeding press position. I taught you last time, remember?"
"Ugh..."
"You'd better hurry up. If you don't want to listen to me, win tonight's sparring match."
"I'll... definitely kill you."
Ju Seohyun muttered murderously before lying back on the floor. She grabbed her calves and pulled her legs up beside her chest, her hips arching naturally upward to expose her pink pussy and anus.
"Heh heh. Perfect form."
I stripped and positioned my cock above Ju Seohyun's raised hips. Slowly assuming the breeding press position, I slammed my cock mercilessly into her pussy.
Thwack!
"Hngh...!"
"Just as I expected a tight, springy pussy. This is exhilarating. How about we make a bet?"
"A bet...?"
"If you can hold out for ten minutes without coming, I'll unlock your chastity belt for a week, even if I win tonight."
"...What happens if you win?"
"If I win? You don't have to do anything. I'm just giving you a chance because I'm in a good mood."
Grind. "How long do you plan to keep toying with me?"
"Until you beat me, of course. Enough with the pointless talk. Are you taking the bet or not?"
"I'll take it. I can last ten minutes."
"Then let's make this a real challenge. I'll go all out from the start."
Sensual Amplification activated. Vitality is continuously being consumed.
