Bzzzt-
"Don't go~."
Bzzzt- Bzzzt-
"Hohoho, you little rascal."
Kkamangi tried to escape from me while fluttering its elegant wings. But this was a sealed, narrow shelter. There was no way it could escape from my starving self.
No matter how much you fly, you're still just Kkamangi.
In this world where food was scarce, Kkamangi had been my primary protein source since childhood. At first, I forced myself to eat them to avoid starvation, but everyone ate them, and I eventually got used to it. Now I could even tell their taste differed based on Kkamangi's shape.
This one's short length and wide butt indicated it would taste like dark chocolate.
Bzzzt- Bzzzzzt-
Thump.
Kkamangi landed in a corner of the shelter. My shadow slowly loomed over Kkamangi. Drool dripped down the corner of my mouth.
Uhehehe. Bon appétit!
I glared at the bug and struck down with all my might.
Thud!
Did I get it?
Bzzzt- Bzzzzzt~ Bzzzt bzzzt~
"Damn it!"
I missed. All because of these heavy breasts. The jiggling milk jugs made me incapable of catching even a single bug.
Bzzzt~ Bzzzzzt~
Thump.
I turned my head toward the sound of the bug landing.
Where? Where did it go?
After looking around for a while, I finally found Kkamangi. It was perched on the shoulder of that cursed thing - the combat suit that turned me into a woman.
If it weren't for that thing, I wouldn't have suffered this horrible fate. Remembering the humiliation Duran inflicted today made me grind my teeth with a "crunch".
Bzzzzzt- Bzzzzzt- Bzzzzzt-
But Kkamangi's condition seemed strange. It tried to spread its wings and fly away but appeared stuck to the combat suit. No matter how much it flapped, Kkamangi couldn't take off.
Why is it doing that?
Kkamangi couldn't escape until I approached. When I tried to peel it off the combat suit, a burning "sizzle" sound accompanied the smell of something scorching. Kkamangi instantly melted into green liquid, which was absorbed by the combat suit.
"Hiiik!"
I stumbled backward in fright until my back hit the wall. Grabbing a blanket from the mattress, I threw it over the suit. Thankfully, nothing happened.
Why did I bring this thing into the shelter? No matter how powerful a weapon it was, it had turned me into this state and now melted living creatures.
Grrr.
My oblivious stomach cried out from hunger. I couldn't even eat a bug. If I didn't eat something tomorrow, I'd collapse. At dawn, I'd need to use stealth to steal food from the market.
But by tomorrow morning, Duran would realize I killed Dusty and escaped. If caught by that bastard, I might not escape this time.
I couldn't just keep running. I could never forgive Duran. I had to take revenge for how he deceived and humiliated me.
But how?
All my weapons were taken. Though my physique was solid, it was woefully inadequate against gang members. In this state, I'd be perfect for dying in a street brawl rather than getting revenge.
What should I do?
Pressing my throbbing head, I forced my stubborn mind to think.
Right, the first priority was killing Duran. If I didn't kill him, he might find me directly or put a bounty on me for killing his subordinate. Even if I fled far away, bounty hunters would kill me.
Then, how to kill Duran?
With trembling eyes, I looked at the cloth-covered thing. There was no other way.
"Just one more time wearing it... I won't die, right?"
The scene of the cockroach melting away resurfaced. There was no guarantee it wouldn't melt me too.
My head hurt. What to do?
Hiding in the shelter would avoid detection but eventually lead to starvation. To survive, I had to wear this and kill Duran.
"Ugh..., fuck it, fine, I won't die!"
I threw off the cloth covering it. The combat suit made of dark metallic material reappeared - the bizarre suit that turned me into a woman and devoured bugs.
As if reading my mind, the suit's front opened. The mechanical lights blinked warmly, urging me to enter.
"Ugh..., damn it."
Feeling uneasy but having no choice, I entered the combat suit. Please let nothing go wrong.
When the suit's front closed, I was plunged into complete darkness. Recalling previous memories, I bit my lip anxiously.
Poke, squelch.
Sharp needles protruded from inside the suit's chest and pierced my nipples. Though the pain wasn't severe, imagining what would happen next contorted my face.
"Ugh!"
As the needles retracted, I felt breast milk flowing down to my navel. The suit's inner walls gently squeezed my breasts like a milking machine, absorbing the milk.
Since the suit only milked without any caresses, no lust rose within me.
I felt relieved it was satisfied with my milk instead of melting me.
With a "ping", the screen turned on, showing the shelter's interior. Then came the familiar mechanical voice.
[Welcome, Qualified One. System booting up.]
The status window's mechanical voice I'd often heard while doing shitty quests. Meeting this thing turned my happy daily life into hell.
I tried not to focus on my breasts being milked as I spoke.
"Thanks for the welcome, you fucking bastard."
[My name is not 'fucking bastard'.]
Huh?
"You can talk? Why didn't you converse with me before?"
[This is your first attempt to communicate with me.]
Was it? Anyway, this was fortunate. If it could converse, maybe I could use it.
Hiding my intentions, I spoke curtly.
"If not fucking bastard, then what?"
[I am the first combat suit, Exodus.]
"First combat suit Exodus? Sounds tacky and hard to pronounce. Let's shorten it to X."
['X', nickname registered.]
X seemed unexpectedly compliant. Combat suits were machines that moved according to their wearer's demands.
Then maybe I could easily return to my original body?
I swallowed audibly before speaking.
"You turned me into this body, right?"
[The female form is efficient for energy extraction. We transformed you based on female forms in your memories.]
As I suspected. This was clearly modified by some insane scientist. Turning the wearer into a woman? What mad idea was that? And it could peek into my memories?
My skin crawled. Suppressing rising rage, I spoke.
"Change me back to a man. Now."
[That request requires administrator privileges.]
"Turn me back to my original self!!!"
[That request requires administrator privileges.]
The parrot-like response made blood rush to my head.
Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!
I smashed my forehead against the screen, wanting to shatter it. But only my blood smeared the screen, leaving no damage.
Catching my breath, I spoke.
"I'll do anything. Give me administrator privileges now."
[Epic Quest has occurred.]
Objective: Absorb 4 Conquerors of the New World to evolve X to its final form.
Reward: X's administrator privileges.
Time limit: None.
Failure penalty: None.
"Ha! This bastard gives quests too?"
An incredulous laugh escaped me.
[The Conquerors of the New World each lead powerful factions. They are strong individuals with world-dominating power. Absorb their strength to evolve me into a complete form.]
My anger cooled at X's obvious attempt to use me.
"If I catch those bastards, you'll turn me back into a man?"
[Possible.]
I had been a male with a perfect physique. Thanks to that, I could live a true male's life unlike my previous existence.
If I followed this thing's orders, could I really return? What if it was lying?
Haa...
Anyway, symbiosis with this thing was my only survival option now.
If it wasn't lying, returning to being a man would be best. If it seemed false, I could flee after gaining enough power to survive alone.
This symbiotic relationship. Either way, I wouldn't lose. Though having my breasts milked every time I wore it was weird.
Having organized my thoughts, I spoke in a lighter tone.
"Fine, let's try working together. But can you stop milking me?"
Even during this serious conversation, my breasts kept being milked.
[My power source is your energy.]
Request denied.
Having not eaten properly yet being milked continuously - I might end up drained to death.
First, use X to find food. A minigun could easily take down even a giant boar.
After filling my stomach, I'd go kill Duran.
Just as I was about to leave to hunt wildlife, my vision brightened with a notification sound.
[Quest has occurred.]
Objective: Make Duran your slave.
Reward: Unique Capsule.
Time limit: 3 hours
Failure penalty: None.
"What, make that bastard my slave?"
I'd never considered such a thing.
Another notification sounded.
[Body Severing Bomb acquired.]
[Body Severing Bomb]
