Lee Seol stared at the floor, avoiding my gaze.
I spoke to her gently.
“Seol-ah, can I see the album?”
“S-sorry… I’m embarrassed about my childhood photos.”
She refused. My eyes narrowed.
‘There’s definitely something there.’
Pressing her would only make things worse.
I’d try again later.
When I didn’t push further, Lee Jun urged her.
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? Just show him.”
“There are pictures of me getting my diaper changed…”
“Ah… right. Sorry…”
Apparently, there were photos she didn’t want anyone to see.
Lee Seol put the album back on the bookshelf and patted Lee Jun’s back.
“Dad! Why did you suddenly bring Hyeon-ah here?!”
“Haha! Sorry, sorry.”
He chuckled, indulging his daughter’s playful scolding. It was…
‘…enviable.’
They looked like the perfect family, something out of a dream.
But the feeling was fleeting.
Lee Seol approached me.
“Sorry, Hyeon-ah. Did Dad surprise you by bringing you here?”
“No, I’m fine.”
I was more surprised by her bursting in and snatching the album.
“I went to pick you up at the hospital, and Dad had already taken you…”
She shot a playful glare at her father.
The kind of look that fathers adored.
“Alright, alright, I’m sorry. I wanted to take you out for a meal and chat, but I’m short on time. Want to go choose your reward now?”
“Yes, sounds good.”
“Huh? Choose what?” I asked.
“A gift for our future son-in-law.”
“What?!”
“Just kidding, just kidding! Hahaha!”
“Dad!”
They were so close. It made me…
‘…envious.’
A strange, unfamiliar ache in my chest.
I followed Lee Jun and Lee Seol down to the basement.
The Association’s massive vault.
Lee Jun used his fingerprints and retinal scan to unlock the multiple layers of security.
We entered a vast chamber.
“Wow…”
The sheer scale of it took my breath away.
Treasures of all kinds lined the shelves, like a Hunter’s Costco.
“Take your pick. I don’t mean to brag, but this vault holds the best elixirs and skill stones in the country.”
“Are you sure it’s okay to just… let me choose anything?”
“Consider it an apology for the Association’s failure to prevent Kim Seong-ho’s escape. It’s been cleared with the staff, so don’t worry.”
“Well, then…”
My jaw dropped as I wandered through the vault.
‘Holy shit. This is insane.’
Opportunities and elixirs of every kind imaginable.
I was looking for one thing in particular.
‘Is there any Hydra’s Blood?’
The ingredient needed to awaken Eve.
I’d thought awakening Eve, which required the blood of an S-rank monster, was a long way off, but this was a golden opportunity.
‘I don’t see it.’
As expected, an S-rank material was probably too rare.
I was about to give up and look for something else when…
“Dad, what’s this round thing?”
“That’s a compressed orb of Hydra’s Blood.”
‘What?’
I turned sharply towards them.
A black orb.
‘That’s Hydra’s Blood?’
It looked nothing like what I remembered.
‘Would that even work…?’
But I had nothing to lose.
Eve was the only thing that could significantly boost my power right now.
I picked up the orb.
“I’ll take this.”
“Really? Wouldn’t this be better?”
[Zeus’s Ring]
A ring that maximized lightning affinity. But the Hydra’s Blood was more important right now.
“I can only choose one, right?”
“Unfortunately.”
This was the best choice. But Lee Jun kept pushing the ring.
“Hmm… I think the ring would be more beneficial…”
He clearly wanted me to change my mind.
Lee Seol gently intervened.
“Dad, let Hyeon-ah choose what he wants. He probably has a reason.”
“Alright… fine.”
After I’d made my choice, we were about to head back to the dorms when…
“Oh! Hyeon-ah, I forgot my bag. I’ll be right back.”
“Okay.”
Lee Seol hurried off. Lee Jun watched her with a fond smile.
“Seol’s all grown up…”
“Sir?”
“She never uses nicknames for her male friends.”
“…”
I knew that.
I’d heard it enough times in my previous life.
“It feels strange, like she’s leaving the nest.”
“Just to be clear, Seol and I are just friends.”
“Haha, sure, sure.”
Lee Jun chuckled, then his voice grew serious.
“Seong-hyun, you know about the Demonic Cult, right?”
“…Yes.”
“I’m obsessed with them these days. I can’t stop thinking about them.”
“…”
A faint killing intent emanated from him.
“Their recent movements are concerning. Be careful.”
“Isn’t that classified information? Are you sure you should be telling me this? What if I tell someone…?”
Lee Jun grinned.
“Men who risk their lives for their friends tend to be tight-lipped.”
“…”
“Anyway, I have to get back to work. Let’s have dinner sometime!”
“Yes, sir. Have a good day.”
Lee Jun walked away, his laughter echoing behind him.
I chuckled to myself.
‘He knows.’
He knew I was the one who’d shattered the black barrier with lightning during the Demonic Cult attack.
And he hadn’t told anyone, not even suggested I join the Association.
‘Like father, like daughter.’
Consideration was ingrained in them.
A truly admirable man.
That was Lee Jun.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Back in my dorm room, I locked the door and took out Eve.
The pristine white blade and elegant black hilt.
A cursed sword that thirsted for blood, yet it looked like something a knight would wield.
A whore in disguise.
A fitting description.
‘Will it awaken?’
Eve was forged from the soul of a Vampire Queen.
The Queen slumbered within the blade.
Feeding it the blood of a high-ranking monster would awaken her, and that’s when Eve’s true power would be unleashed.
“The problem is… it’ll be harder to control.”
Until now, it had willingly lent me its power in exchange for blood.
But that was likely to change.
The sword would develop its own will.
‘Let’s just do it.’
No point in worrying about it now.
I touched the orb to the blade.
Woooong!
The white blade vibrated, trembling with excitement, like a traveler finding an oasis in the desert.
‘Bingo!’
Compressed or not, Hydra’s Blood was still Hydra’s Blood!
The orb was slowly absorbed into the blade.
The pristine white steel turned a dark crimson.
The elegant sword transformed into something grotesque, almost horrific.
Mana surged from the blade and enveloped me.
“Here we go.”
Eve’s mindscape.
I still hadn’t gotten used to it.
A white light filled my vision, then a massive palace appeared before me.
Its crumbling exterior made me hesitate for a moment.
But only for a moment.
I stepped inside—a space devoid of any living being.
Dust lay thick on every surface, and a heavy silence hung in the air.
‘This is going to drive me insane.’
There was an experiment where they put people in a soundproof room, and they went mad.
This place reminded me of that.
I walked down a long corridor and reached a massive door.
I pushed it open with all my might.
Creak!
The throne room.
A single, empty throne sat in the center.
But the Queen, who should have been sitting there, was nowhere to be seen.
I walked on, already knowing where to find her.
To the right of the throne room, at the end of another long corridor, I heard a faint moan.
“Haaah…! Yes! That’s it!”
The lewd voice of a wanton woman echoed through the hallway.
Just hearing it made my cock twitch.
The closer I got, the clearer the voice became.
The bedroom.
I stood at the door, her moans assaulting my ears.
“Ah! More! Fuck me harder!”
I cracked the door open and peeked inside.
‘Just as I expected.’
She lay on the bed, blindfolded, her arms and legs bound, pleasuring herself.
A pink dildo, slick with blood, relentlessly pounded her pussy and ass.
Thwack! Thwack!
Slap! Slap!
“Ah! Oh!”
Deprived of all stimulation, a living being would go mad.
Especially in Eve’s situation, where death wasn’t an option.
So, she had gone mad.
*A pervert chasing pleasure.’
Her luscious ass bounced in the air and trembled.
“Kyaa!”
Squirt!
She came hard, her juices squirting, then collapsed onto the bed, panting.
“Haa… haa…”
Once she was done, I opened the door.
Creak~
“…”
Startled by the unexpected intrusion, she scrambled to get up.
But her arms and legs were still bound.
She could only lift her head.
“…”
“…”
An awkward silence.
I calmly untied the ropes she had bound herself with.
“Get dressed and come out. I’ll be waiting.”
“W-what…? O-okay…”
Her face was a mask of mortification, like someone caught masturbating.
‘You should have locked the door.’
Locking the door before engaging in happy time was basic common sense!
But then again…
‘I’ve been there myself.’
I chuckled inwardly and waited for her in the throne room.
About ten minutes later, she emerged, wearing a dress.
Ash-gray hair that reached her calves, deep crimson eyes, and a slender figure that could rival any supermodel.
Her expression was stern, a stark contrast to her earlier state.
She was clearly trying to pretend nothing had happened.
“So, Your Majesty the Masturbation Queen. Have you arrived?”
“W-what?! How dare you, human!”
“Should I call you the Finger-Fucking Queen instead?”
“Y-you insolent wretch!”
She reached out to grab me by the throat, but the moment her hand touched my neck…
“Haaah!”
…her back arched.
Squirt!
Centuries without physical contact had turned her into this.
A mere touch was enough to send her over the edge.
She had become… nothing more than a female in heat.
A breeding animal.
