Knock, knock.
I knocked on Soo-hyun’s door on the first floor.
…Hmm.
Was she in the main house?
After waiting for a moment, I heard some bustling sounds, and the door opened.
“Oh? Oppa!”
Soo-hyun smiled brightly when she saw me.
There she was.
I smiled and held out my bag.
“I couldn’t bring back too much. I’m planning to go out again tonight.”
“Tonight?”
Soo-hyun stared at me.
I nodded.
“Yeah. I’ll be back soon.”
Soo-hyun looked at me, her eyes darting around, and then said,
“…You’re sweating a lot. You smell like sweat.”
“Really?”
Soo-hyun tilted her head slightly towards the inside of the room.
“Come in and wash up.”
…Good.
I took my bag and went into Soo-hyun’s room.
A large room, a small laundry room/kitchen with a washing machine, and a bathroom with a shower.
Perfect for living alone.
Nails, wood, and tools were scattered around the room.
She must have been in the middle of something.
I took off my clothes and asked,
“How many rooms are there on the first floor? Two?”
“Yeah. No one lives in the room next door. The person who lived in the rooftop room and the person in that room were friends, they left together.”
“Ah, I see.”
“Yeah. I’m taking apart the furniture from that room to board up the windows.”
Oh… I see.
I took off my pants and underwear, grabbed Soo-hyun’s hand, and went into the bathroom.
“Wh-what are you doing…?”
“What do you mean? We’re showering together.”
I grabbed her t-shirt and pulled it up.
The small woman, barely 150cm tall, suddenly acted shy, covering her chest and giving me a coy look.
Even after sleeping with me already.
I smiled, unhooked her bra, and tossed it outside along with her shirt.
“O-okay, okay. J-just a minute.”
Soo-hyun pushed me as if to say she would undress herself and took off her pants. The way she turned her back to me while undressing…
was quite…
I hugged her from behind, grabbed her breasts, and slipped my hand inside her panties.
Soft hair tickled my fingers.
A pleasant sensation.
I inserted my fingers into her slit and rubbed, and she quickly became slick.
“Ah… ha… wait a minute. Just…”
Soo-hyun pushed my hand away, but I wasn’t going to let go.
I continued to caress her and kissed her ear.
Hmm, slightly salty.
She really had been working around the house.
Soo-hyun moaned and turned on the shower.
Whoosh.
The cool water washed away the sweat.
Her skin felt good against my hand, and the water was refreshing.
This felt good.
Soo-hyun turned to face me.
I lowered my head and kissed her.
Our tongues met.
Soft.
As I caressed and touched her, my cock hardened and throbbed impatiently.
I grabbed Soo-hyun’s shoulders and gently pushed her down.
She quickly understood what I wanted.
Soo-hyun glanced at me coyly and knelt down.
Then she took my cock in both hands and slowly took it into her mouth.
The faint touch of her teeth and the soft sensation of her tongue sent shivers through my groin.
Ah, this felt good.
When we finished showering a while later, both our faces were flushed.
“I told you not to cum inside…”
She glared at me.
I smiled.
“It felt too good to pull out.”
“Oh, you.”
Soo-hyun playfully hit my chest and took out a t-shirt, shorts, and boxer briefs from the closet.
“Wear these. I’ll wash your clothes.”
Hmm. A plain gray t-shirt and black capri shorts.
“Aren’t these yours? Will they even fit me? …Boxer briefs? These don’t look like yours.”
“They’re not mine. They’re my ex-boyfriend’s clothes. He gained so much weight, he was like a pig. He was much bigger than you.”
Hmm.
I unfolded the t-shirt.
It was definitely large.
It definitely wasn’t something she would wear.
I put on the clothes and asked,
“You haven’t been able to contact your ex?”
“He’s not my boyfriend. We broke up a long time ago.”
“Okay.”
I smiled, got dressed, and took the items I brought back from my bag and handed them to Soo-hyun.
“I’m going to go upstairs and rest, and then I’ll go out again tonight.”
Soo-hyun waved at me.
Her sheepish smile…
…made me smile too.
I waved back and went up to the rooftop room.
I flopped down on the blankets and stared at the ceiling.
…Things were going pretty smoothly.
If I continued leveling up like this, I would probably become quite strong in less than a month.
And I had a fuck buddy to relieve my needs.
The 5 points I gained earlier.
I wanted to put them all into Spirit and get another Accelerate charge.
But…
Recovering quickly was important.
If I wanted to go out again tonight.
If I put 5 points into Spirit, it would probably be past midnight, early morning, before I fully recovered.
If I put them into Health, I would probably be fully recovered by 9 or 10 p.m.
…Let’s put them into Health.
And then go out again.
I put all 5 points into Health and closed my eyes.
I had a hearty dinner and cleaned the dirty sword.
The sword… I washed it with water, was that okay?
I hoped it wouldn’t rust.
While wiping off the dried blood, I realized that once blood dried, it was quite difficult to remove.
It took a while to scrub it off with a shower towel.
Armed with the remaining tomahawk and the cleaned sword, I headed towards the convenience store street.
I could see the hair salon and hardware store in the distance.
Hmm…
The hair salon…
Only about ten of them were visible from outside, but there were many more inside. At least fifteen.
I took out five earlier, so there were at least ten more inside.
…It would be difficult to get in and out with only 3 uses of Accelerate.
I would need at least 5 charges to wipe them all out and ensure my safety.
I would need to increase my Strength as well.
…The hair salon was on hold for now.
I would eventually have to clear the hair salon, McDonald’s, and the residential complex, but not now.
There was no reason to take unnecessary risks.
There were other places.
I stood on the steps of the convenience store and observed the hair salon for a while. I was curious if the human beasts that chased me were roaming around.
But the streets were empty.
I could see figures moving around inside the hair salon through the broken glass walls and windows.
They went back to their original positions.
…Strange creatures.
Then this time… should I try going down the street near the convenience store instead of crossing the road?
To see what was nearby.
I put my hand on my sword and set off.
It was close to 10 p.m.
The surroundings were quiet.
The bodies of the woman and the middle school boy were lying on the street.
…The smell of corpses. The smell of blood.
I walked around the bodies and continued on.
Kyaaaaagh-
A scream echoed in the distance.
What was that woman doing out so late at night?
…Did she think it would be safer at night?
It was just as dangerous, day or night.
It was the apocalypse.
I glanced in the direction of the scream and continued on my way.
There were quite a few places on this street.
Past two closed shutters with “Store for Sale” signs, I saw a pharmacy, a chicken restaurant, and a coffee shop.
The pharmacy…
…How many were inside?
I could faintly hear growling. I carefully observed my surroundings and peeked through the gap in the door.
…Three.
Two pharmacists and one customer.
…I could take care of them quickly.
But let’s assess the situation first.
…Next, the chicken restaurant.
Like the hair salon, the lower half of the glass walls and door were covered with advertisement stickers, so I could only see the upper half.
I leaned against the wall and peeked inside.
…One in the kitchen.
Probably an employee or a delivery person.
…Only two?
…Would there be anything worth taking from a chicken restaurant?
Frozen chicken?
…Hmm…
Anyway, I understood.
Next.
I crouched down and slowly walked towards the coffee shop.
This was new.
Just a few days ago, I was running for my life, and now I was doing reconnaissance.
The coffee shop’s glass walls and door were completely open.
There was nowhere to hide.
I leaned against the wall and carefully peered inside.
Grrrr… grrrr…
…None of them were looking this way.
Two baristas.
Two lying face down.
One standing.
…Five.
…Good.
Exactly five.
I looked around.
If I made a wrong judgment here and got chased, I could be screwed.
I had to get in and out quickly and return to base camp.
Shing-
I drew my sword.
Could I take out one before activating Accelerate, like at the hair salon?
…No.
There wasn’t one standing right by the door.
I let go of the tomahawk.
And gripped the sword with both hands.
I pushed the coffee shop door open with my shoulder and went inside.
“Kraw?!”
All five turned to look at me at once.
“Kaaaagh! Kaa-”
They charged!
Accelerate!
[Auto-casting: Accelerate]
“–a—a—-”
The woman standing by the window seat!
Crack!
Pierced through the head.
I immediately pulled the sword out and lunged at the man standing in front of her, thrusting the sword.
“Ha!”
Crack!
Through the eye and out the back of the head!
They must have been on a date.
Next, the ones lying down!
“–a-awk!”
Shit, Accelerate!
[Auto-casting: Accelerate]
I looked down at the human beast in front of me.
Her clothes…
A college student?!
Trying to get up, huh?!
Crack!
Done!
Through her bangs, and next!
The two baristas jumping over the counter!
“Ha!”
Crack!
“—ka–a-urk!”
Accelerate!
[Auto-casting: Accelerate]
Pull out and to the side!
Splat! Blood sprayed into the air.
Leaving behind the slow-motion spray of blood, I thrust upwards at the barista in front of me.
Crack!
Done!
“Hoo!”
I yanked the sword out with all my might.
Splat!
A slow-motion explosion of blood erupted from the barista’s temple.
“–Ugh!”
The human beasts all collapsed forward.
Thud! Crash!
Blood splattered everywhere.
It landed on my face, my body.
“Ugh.”
Damn it. It got in my mouth.
Disgusted, I spat it out.
Spit.
…In my mouth…
Hmm…
Would I turn into one of them…?
…No.
If I was going to turn, it would have happened when I was covered in blood before. I must have even swallowed a few drops then.
I chuckled and looked around.
[Leveled up 5 times.]
Hmm…
There were some bottles displayed next to the coffee machines.
…Dilute before drinking?
…Hmm.
14,000 won per bottle?
Not bad.
As a poor university student, I always just drank Americano, but I might as well try it.
I put a few bottles in my bag.
One for me, one for Soo-hyun, and one or two for Ye-eun and So-eun…
…Would Grandma want one too?
…I’d grab one more, just in case.
Now, let’s go back.
