“With that, we’ve chosen all the skills. Oof!”
I stretched. My body felt stiff from lying in the same position for so long.
‘I’ve finished all the things I’ve put off… Now I have to give the Oak Staff and the Archmage’s Earrings to Hwang Soo-min, offer Steven’s Pillar to Kashnax… and then level up a bit. That would be perfect.’
Just choosing the rewards was already tiring, and now I had to level up Kang Ha-young too. There was so much I had to do. It was all because of those good god bastards.
I had originally planned to set an alarm and get some sleep, but considering the situation, I would have to cut back on my sleep.
“Are you two not tired? You woke up because of me.”
“I’m fine even if I don’t sleep for a day. And I’m fully awake now.”
“I can manage too, maybe because I leveled up.”
“Really? Then shall we start moving again?”
I wanted to get Eun-ji and Ha-rin to level 10. And I had to level up Kang Ha-young to properly utilize her.
‘It would be great if we could find a peddler, who should have spawned somewhere.’
Since everyone was awake, we might as well get moving.
‘Should we go to Daiso today?’
I wondered how the survivors at Daiso had spent the night. Were they struggling like us, or had they all been wiped out by the zombie horde? I was curious about their situation.
‘If there are any survivors left, I’ll enslave them to strengthen our team.’
Those who had survived last night would be useful. Now that there was no limit to my Summon Tentacles skill, I could capture them all and make them my slaves.
I wanted to enjoy an inhumane slave hunt. I wanted to relieve the stress of having to fight the good gods’ champions by branding slaves.
‘It would be nice if I could find a virgin on this hunt…’
Of course, Eun-ji and Ha-rin were great, but a man’s romance was, after all, a virgin.
Of course, Eun-ji’s technique and Ha-rin’s tightness were amazing, but I still wanted to sleep with a virgin.
I wondered what it would feel like. If I was curious, I just had to find one and try it out. I had that kind of power now. Not enough to be arrogant and conceited, but enough to quietly hunt for a virgin.
Yes, virgin hunting. This was something I had been thinking about ever since I obtained the Slave Brand skill.
‘Let’s find a virgin. I doubt there are any pretty virgins left in this world, but I won’t stop searching.’
Of course, for now, it was just a thought. I would look for one in earnest after dealing with those good gods’ champions or whatever they were.
Sex with a virgin wasn’t more important than survival.
‘But those guys at Daiso aren’t servants of the good gods, are they?’
The thought of the good gods’ servants being at Daiso, which was only a ten-minute walk away, was terrifying.
If they were that close, Indikron would have immediately warned me of the danger.
Since Indikron told me to prepare, they probably wouldn’t come for at least two or three days.
I shouldn’t let my guard down, but I didn’t think those guys at Daiso were servants of the good gods.
“Let’s go to the rooftop, give the others some instructions, and then leave the supermarket.”
“Outside?”
“Yeah. To get you two to level 10. And to level her up a bit too.”
Kang Ha-young was still asleep. It was a relief that she wasn’t pestering me for blood.
“Okay!”
“Wait a moment. Let me grab my weapons…”
Eun-ji secured two short swords to her leather belt, and Ha-rin picked up an iron helmet and an axe. These were items dropped by the special zombies they had hunted.
“Hey! Kang Ha-young! Wake up.”
“Ugh. Chomp… Yes? Why…? You just told me to sleep.”
Kang Ha-young answered grumpily in a slightly annoyed voice, as if she was whining in her sleep. For a slave to do such a thing…
“Let’s eat.”
“I’m awake. I’m always ready to drink blood. You know I’m very obedient, Master, right?”
As expected of a blood-crazed woman, she opened her eyes wide at the mention of food.
“Whatever, just follow me. We’re going to the rooftop.”
The four of us went up to the rooftop, where we saw Ha Jin-seong and the other slaves cleaning. They were all wearing boots and rubber gloves from the household goods section, and even rubber aprons that the supermarket employees probably used while diligently cleaning the rooftop. And it was a little funny to see them all holding mops and brooms that they had found somewhere.
It felt like I was watching a real-life version of a corpse cleaning simulator game.
“Wow. It looks much better than before. Right, Oppa?”
“You’re right. They’ve been cleaning quite diligently.”
The smell of bleach was stronger than the smell of rotten zombie blood on the rooftop.
The rooftop floor, which had been covered in dried blood earlier, was now filled with reddish foam and water.
In one corner, I saw a pile of zombie corpses, with Hwang Soo-min tending the fire, and Lee Eun-hye, Kim Do-kyung, and Koo Ji-hwan busily wiping away the blood that flowed from the corpses.
Kim Il-woo and Kim Min-joon were going around sweeping up zombie flesh and bone fragments into garbage bags, Ha Jin-woo was carrying a bucket and splashing water on the floor, and Ha Jin-seong was using a hose to wash the blood off the walls.
Seeing the slaves working so efficiently to clean the rooftop made me feel strangely proud. It was healing to watch them work while I just sat back and observed.
As I watched them work, Ha Jin-seong noticed us, smiled, and ran over.
“Ah, Hyung-nim! You’re here! We’re not done cleaning yet.”
“Ah, right. Stop cleaning for a moment and gather everyone. I have something to tell you.”
“Yes, Hyung-nim. Hey! Everyone, come here!”
I gathered the slaves and told them that we might be attacked soon.
I didn’t tell them exactly why we were being attacked, just that some bastards were after the supermarket.
As expected, their reactions were uniformly despairing.
“Sigh… No, fucking hell. The zombies are bad enough, and now humans too…”
Kim Il-woo sat down on the floor, muttering to himself as he suppressed his anger.
As if agreeing with him, Kim Min-joon also muttered curses, directing them at those who would attack us.
“Anyway, the attack will come within this week at the latest. So, Kim Min-joon and Lee Eun-hye, the archers, make sure to keep watch. If you see any suspicious individuals, just kill them without hesitation. And stop lighting the pile of corpses for now. We don’t want to attract unwanted attention.”
“Yes, we understand, Hyung-nim.”
“We’re going out soon to check on those guys at Daiso and level up a bit. We’ll be back before dinner, so you guys guard the supermarket.”
“Yes, Hyung-nim…”
“Cheer up, everyone. We’ll survive. Don’t be discouraged. You know you have to kill to survive, right?”
I said this to boost their morale since the atmosphere was so gloomy right now. I wasn’t usually the type to take the lead, but perhaps because they were all my slaves, I didn’t feel any stage fright.
“Don’t show any mercy. Don’t pity the elderly or children. No, don’t even talk to them. Just kill them on sight! Anyone who comes while I’m gone is an enemy.”
“Yes!”
At my words, they all expressed their determination to survive. They even fostered hatred and anger towards those who would attack us.
Especially the Ha brothers who were said to have killed countless people who had come after the supermarket even before submitting to me, so I could trust them.
If they showed even a sliver of compassion, they would die. I couldn’t trust anyone unless they became my slaves. It was either kill or enslave.
“And Hwang Soo-min. Take this.”
I gave Hwang Soo-min the Oak Staff and the Archmage’s Earrings I had received as my rewards along with the Green Mana Stone Ring I was wearing.
“You can see the item descriptions, right?”
“Yes… Wow, amazing.”
“When the four of us leave, you’ll have the most firepower. If any suspicious individuals approach while we’re gone, just fire a fireball at them first. We’ll identify them after they’re dead.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Good. Everyone, get back to what you were doing. Don’t let your guard down. If you’re going to sleep, make sure to have at least two people on watch. And there’s cooked meat from earlier, so eat it after you’re done cleaning. It’s downstairs.”
“Yes!” “Understood!” “Thank you!” “Yes, Hyung-nim!!”
Everyone went back to cleaning the rooftop.
I had instilled a sense of vigilance in them about the enemy, so that was enough. For now, I would level up Eun-ji, Ha-rin, and Kang Ha-young to level 10 and check on the Daiso. And if I had time, I would also search for a peddler.
Now, I just had to offer ‘Steven’s Pillar’ to Kashnax and then we could leave.
“Wait a moment, guys. I need to make an offering.”
“An offering?”
“Yeah. It won’t be anything special.”
Eun-ji’s eyes were filled with worry.
“Oppa, are you sure it’s not dangerous?”
“P-probably?”
Or not?
Well, I was going to do it anyway, so I shouldn’t be too scared. I couldn’t avoid it even if I wanted to. If I couldn’t avoid it, I might as well enjoy it.
The path of a Cultist was to crawl to gain power, even if they didn’t know what kind of misfortune an evil god might inflict upon them. Since I had stepped onto this path, pain would probably be my lifelong companion.
“It’ll be fine. Because you’re here with me.”
“Oppa…”
“It’s okay, Eun-ji.”
“Master. Just do it while sitting down. I’m scared you’ll collapse suddenly.”
“Should I?”
I took Ha-rin’s advice and brought a chair to sit on.
The clear sky was visible.
It was the perfect weather for an offering.
Eun-ji and Ha-rin watched me with worried eyes.
Kang Ha-young kept pestering me about when I would give her blood, but after I told her to shut up, she went to a corner, crouched down, and spaced out.
“Ahem. Then I’ll begin.”
I took out Steven’s… dick… no, pillar, from my pocket.
‘But how do I offer it?’
I had no idea since there was no instruction manual.
‘Let’s try saying that I’m offering it.’
I raised my hand that held Steven’s Pillar high in the air and shouted.
“I offer this to Lord Kashnax!”
Suddenly, time and space stopped.
A world where everything was frozen.
A world drained of color, turned black and white.
I couldn’t move.
The Ha brothers cleaning, Eun-ji and Ha-rin looking down at me with worry, and even Kang Ha-young yawning blankly.
Everything had stopped.
‘Uh… Wh-what is this…?’
I could only move my eyes slightly. My body was completely immobile.
I was frozen like a stone statue.
Was this what it felt like to be in a vegetative state? The thought of the world stopping like this, leaving me alone and awake as my mind slowly died, terrified me.
‘Wh-what the hell is going on…?’
Perhaps time and space had stopped because I had offered a strange-looking dick to Kashnax.
Did he not like Steven’s Pillar?
I wished he would react somehow!
[Hmm…]
A buzzing voice echoed in my head, which was gradually being consumed by fear.
[Are you giving this to me?]
A strangely displeased tone. A slightly unpleasant tremor.
Even the uncomfortable sensation of sticky tentacles coiling around my entire body.
No, it wasn’t just a sensation. Real tentacles were sprouting and coiling around me, starting from my ankles and tightening around my neck!
At the same time, the space before me tore open, revealing an astral landscape too overwhelming for the human brain to comprehend.
‘Just looking at it makes me feel like my eyes are going to pop out…’
I felt nauseous, a dull headache struck me, and my frontal lobe trembled.
If I had felt my soul tremble when I faced Indikron, then facing a part of Kashnax now made me feel like my body was twisting and distorting.
I suddenly felt like I couldn’t breathe, caught in a hallucination that my body had turned into a mass of tentacles.
‘Why? What did I do wrong? Was the way I offered it strange? No, why is he so displeased?’
My back felt damp, even though I couldn’t possibly be sweating since time had stopped.
And I felt pain as if blood was gushing from every orifice in my body.
Something was flowing from my eyes. Judging by my vision turning red, it was definitely bloody tears.
‘I want to stop seeing this… It’s too… painful…’
How long did I have to look at that gaping fissure?
Was this a punishment? Was he giving me this trial because I had offered him a dirty dick?
‘The item description clearly stated that offering it up would gain an evil god’s favor. But why this pain…?’
As I was agonizing over this, Kashnax asked me again, sounding even angrier than before.
[I asked if you were giving it to me.]
Even as my mind was on the verge of collapse, I had no choice but to answer my master’s question.
Just like when my slave had to answer my questions without fail.
Even though time and space were frozen, my mouth opened, and I stammered a reply.
“Y-yes. I-I offer it to y-you.”
[Sigh…]
Regret and agonizing tremors resonated from that deep sigh.
I empathized with the god’s emotions, and at the same time, I became uneasy.
As if I had delved too deep into the heart of evil.
‘E-endure…!’
The chillingly sharp atmosphere softened a bit.
At the same time, the tentacles tightening around my neck loosened slightly.
My collapsing body returned to normal.
The pain also gradually subsided.
[What in the world is this?]
The atmosphere eased, and the torn space before me began to heal.
My mind returned to its original state, and Kashnax’s voice, which I heard again, was slightly different from before.
‘His voice sounds strangely different now… Why?’
Why did the evil god’s voice suddenly sound like the delicate, high-pitched voice of a woman?
Were my ears malfunctioning because I had faced Kashnax’s true form?
Or had Kashnax’s attitude towards me changed?
My questions about Kashnax’s changed voice were momentarily forgotten.
A more urgent question suddenly came to my mind.
[Even if I suddenly receive a confession like this…]
‘Huh?’
A confession? A confession? From me?
No way, I wouldn’t confess to a cosmic mass of tentacles, even if I was crazy.
Something was wrong. No, it was definitely, seriously wrong.
But before I could correct the misunderstanding, the evil god continued.
As if refusing to hear my objections, she spoke as she pleased.
[I understand your feelings, but… it’s too much for me right now.]
Too much what?
I hadn’t confessed. I was just trying to increase the favorability of a god for my own petty self-preservation…
[I’m hungry right now.]
A tentacle licked my face.
As if tasting emergency rations, it slowly licked its way up from my neck, past my cheek, and reached my forehead.
Smack smack.
‘Is she really tasting me…?’
The tentacle felt and squeezed every part of my body, and soon it reached my groin.
It slithered into my pants.
‘Ugh…! You crazy bitch!’
My genitals were wrapped in tentacles. The oozing mucus felt strangely… good.
Moreover, the tentacle wrapped around my genitals with just the right pressure, and eventually poked and prodded the tip of my glans… making me ‘hard’.
‘W-wait…!’
As I emitted a mental scream at the terrifyingly pleasant sensation of the tentacle gripping my genitals, the tentacle holding my penis slowly slid out of my pants.
Why was I feeling disappointed that the tentacle had withdrawn? It didn’t seem like it was just my feeling. Perhaps I was feeling Kashnax’s emotions, which I was currently synchronized with.
[Ahem. That’s a shame. Offer more.]
Saying only what she wanted to say, Kashnax disappeared while smacking her lips.
The sensation of the tentacles that had been binding me disappeared, and the overwhelming presence that had pressed down on my soul gradually faded.
The torn space completely healed, and color slowly returned to the black and white world.
“Gasp… Huff…”
“Oppa! Your, your eyes!”
“Master, your eyes… Blood is flowing from them…”
Eun-ji quickly grabbed my face.
My vision was blurry, and I couldn’t focus.
I didn’t know if it was because of the bloody tears or because I had seen that spatial rift, which I didn’t even want to remember.
My eyes just hurt like crazy right now.
My breathing became erratic, and cold sweat poured down my face.
‘That crazy evil god misunderstood…’
She had arbitrarily assumed that I had confessed, and she even rejected me.
The funny thing was that the reason for her rejection was ‘I’m hungry.’
And after rejecting my supposed confession because she was hungry, she groped my genitals like she was playing with a child’s penis.
‘Damn evil god…!’
The thought of being toyed with without any resistance made me furious.
At the same time, a part of me was disappointed that I hadn’t been devoured. Conflicting emotions swirled within me, draining my mental strength.
‘Phew… But her favorability seems to have increased, so it’s fine. Let’s forget about that sensation just now. Forget it.’
The genderless voice had changed to a feminine one, as if catering to my taste. Wasn’t that a significant achievement?
‘But what would happen if I increased her favorability even more? Would this really become an evil god dating sim?’
This couldn’t possibly mean that I should have a relationship with an evil god, right?
[Ahem.]
“Huh?”
Only then did I realize that someone was watching me.
Of course, I quickly realized that someone was Kashnax.
‘A lingering gaze… A strange sensation as if she’s scanning my body. What? Why?’
The evil god’s gaze was intense.
The way she scanned my entire body felt like she was licking me with her tongue.
It was filled with viscous and base desire.
Was it hunger or lust?
I didn’t know. I didn’t want to know. I was scared.
“Oppa! Are you okay? Oppa…!”
“Master!”
Eun-ji and Ha-rin hugged me as I sobbed uncontrollably.
Embraced by them, I couldn’t help but cry.
[Hehehe…]
As I cried, I faintly heard the laughter of Kashnax, the evil god.
It was at this moment that the genre of the game changed, regardless of my will.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
T/N – Ohoh… A tentacle mommy evil god. Now that’s what I’m talking about! Go on, Kashnax. Torture this scumbag MC. Just for this, I’ll forgive the MC for his virgin obsession early in the chapter. Poor bastard… 😏
