(T/N – There’s a quick sex scene a quarter before the end of the chapter. Just a heads up)

The red orb melted the moment it entered my mouth, disappearing instantly.

“Hmm…”

I didn’t feel any particular change. There was no taste either.

Just a slightly warm sensation in my stomach. Like a small hand warmer had appeared inside me.

‘It’s not some kind of egg, is it? Something that’s going to hatch inside me.’

Having witnessed the Abyssal Roach’s egg-laying process, grotesque images naturally came to my mind.

For example, the red orb I just swallowed was Bothamili’s egg, and later, white snakes would slither out of my stomach… Such a fucked-up thought.

‘Ugh. Damn it. This is why people should only look at good things…’

The streets were filled with nothing but rotting zombies and corpses. Now that the world had become a place where the only pleasant sights were my women, I realized anew that my mind was gradually wearing down.

[Did you feel any changes in your body?]

As I was contemplating my mental state, Indikron asked how I was feeling.

“No. Aside from the warmth in my stomach, nothing much.”

[Is that so…?]

To Indikron’s question, I replied that there weren’t any significant changes.

There wasn’t a dramatic transformation like when I swallowed the serpent’s core. Back then, perhaps due to the surge in magic power, I felt a surge of energy throughout my body.

But this time, my stats hadn’t increased, and no notification messages appeared.

Just a subtle sensation of a warm energy settling within me.

[Hmm… Something… Something increased. What is it? Sniff sniff. Hmm.]

“Whoa!”

I flinched in surprise as Kashnax’s voice suddenly sounded as if it were right next to my ear.

She sniffed as if smelling me, then muttered.

[I don’t know what it is. Just a sweet fragrance. Delicious… Slurp.]

A shiver ran down my spine as I felt a tentacle lick my cheek.

‘This crazy evil god. She just tasted me…!’

Goosebumps erupted on my arms, and my hair stood on end.

An evil god was licking her lips. And while licking me.

Is this the fear of being eaten?

To be honest, I thought it wouldn’t be bad to be buried in Kashnax’s tentacles and play around with her… But the thought of being chewed up instead of just fucked was terrifying.

I wasn’t kidding, my legs were trembling.

[Hey! Get away! Aren’t you afraid of ‘my child’? No, wait, why are you always like this? Do you have to put everything in your mouth?]

[Tsk. I’m not going to eat him, so don’t be so sensitive. And why do you keep trying to separate me and ‘my companion’? I’m getting tired of your meddling.]

[What? You damned gloomy pig! You think you’re all that because you’re a direct descendant of Chaos?]

[Ha… You old worm who can’t even crawl out of the darkness… Do you really think you can compete with me? I’m hungry, so this is perfect…]

[What did you say!? You little…!]

The two began to bicker in earnest. I didn’t understand why they didn’t get along. And more importantly, I didn’t understand why they were arguing inside my head.

“Ugh… Fuck…”

My head felt like it was going to explode. With a terrible headache, I collapsed face-first onto the floor while drooling.

Please, I just wished they would fight somewhere I couldn’t hear them.

With them fighting inside my head, it was buzzing so loudly that I felt like I was going crazy.

My head really felt like it was going to explode.

“Hey! Uaaah!! My head hurts so much!! Please stop!!!”

[Oh dear. I’m sorry.]

Indikron backed off with a hum, implying that she understood. The headache subsided slightly.

[Besides… I’m really getting hungry. I’d appreciate a proper offering soon.]

Kashnax left while urging me to make a human sacrifice as soon as possible.

“Haa…”

I couldn’t help but sigh.

Talking to them felt like walking on thin ice.

They certainly looked out for me, but… Kashnax had started licking her lips at the sight of me, and Indikron was trying to envelop me as if she was obsessed with me.

I was grateful and happy for their concern, but…

Their attention, affection, or whatever it was sometimes felt too heavy.

I was also afraid that one day, they would take everything from me and tear apart my very soul.

“Haaa… Reward selection…”

Sighing, I received the achievement reward I earned from encountering Bothamili.

The reward for ‘Bothamili’s Servant’ was Bothamili’s Mark, just like the other evil gods’ rewards.

As expected, the message ‘This alone is meaningless’ appeared.

Like the other gods’ marks, it was a reward with no apparent effect yet.

It seemed like there was some kind of trigger to activate the marks of the evil gods, but I hadn’t figured out what it was. I guess I’d find a use for them someday.

Next was the reward for achieving the ‘Things Not Meant to be Seen’ achievement.

“What is this…?”

The Ring of Mental Protection seemed like the most practical choice.

Since those magic-using white zombies seemed to employ mental attacks, I could give it to Ha-rin, Ah-reum, or Ah-ram, who mainly engaged in close combat. Merhere seemed immune to mental attacks, and Eun-ji, who specialized in stealth, could kill enemies before they had a chance to attack her, so they were exceptions.

However, I was also quite curious about the effects of the Ring of Memory Alteration and the Ring of Perception Distortion.

‘Memory Alteration… This is pure terror…’

Enemies wouldn’t be able to remember me properly, only the feeling of fear and dread.

How terrifying would that be? To have a blind fear of a being they couldn’t even remember properly.

Of course, most of those who opposed me would either die or become slaves, so they wouldn’t have time to properly fear me… but I still wanted it.

Then, there was the Ring of Perception Distortion…

‘The description makes it sound like it would change the gruesome graphics of an 18+ game into a children’s version.’

Overflowing with dreams and hope… In this world filled with despair and screams, wouldn’t this serve as a mental stabilizer for all those who had lost hope?

“Ring of Memory Alteration.”

I couldn’t resist.

I didn’t know what kind of enemies I would face in the future, but if I couldn’t kill them all in one blow, so I should at least make them fear me.

More than anything, it was the perfect item to conceal my identity in situations where I might be witnessed by numerous individuals.

And I had been secretly envious of the Shadow Mask I gave to Eun-ji, so this was perfect for me.

“Oh…”

The Ring of Memory Alteration was pure white.

Its coiled shape resembled Bothamili, reminding me of her.

[Yes. Like that.]

[Keep remembering me.]

[Don’t forget.]

Bothamili suddenly spoke in a faint voice.

‘She likes it when I remember and think of her…’

Bothamili, unlike Kashnax and Indikron, couldn’t receive human sacrifices.

Thanks to me, she could partially observe the world, but it seemed like she couldn’t directly interfere like the other evil gods.

Her punishment, or whatever it was, hadn’t ended yet, but she wouldn’t tell me the details, so I didn’t know much about it.

Anyway, since I couldn’t offer her sacrifices, there was no clear way to increase her favorability, so this was good.

‘Indikron, who constantly desires someone’s despair, is practically the most difficult… and Kashnax, who desires many offerings, is next… But Bothamili is grateful just for being remembered and thought of… Is she really an evil god?’

She was difficult to meet, but in terms of difficulty to please, she was the easiest god to gain favorability.

From the beginning, she held no animosity or disregard towards me.

On the other hand, Kashnax subtly ignored me like a tsundere until I gave her Steven’s Pillar, and Indikron looked down on me with a ruler’s gaze until I offered her the despairing Han Tae-yang.

But Bothamili… She was like a girl who was simply happy that I came to see her.

“Haa… Damn it.”

I suddenly felt a sense of self-disgust. To feel a sense of feminine charm and excitement towards a giant snake monster…

Perhaps my perception had changed after becoming a servant of the evil gods.

I sighed and went up to the rooftop. I was already troubled by those strange people from the Central Association.

With even the evil gods causing me distress, I felt like I was dying.

I needed some healing. I wanted to rest too.

This damned disaster kept updating, I was being targeted from all sides because I was on the side of the evil gods, and even the evil gods might devour me at any moment… It was a truly malicious and sadistic world.

“Oh. Ah-reum.”

“Ah, you’re here.”

There were a few tents pitched on the rooftop, and Ah-reum was keeping watch and looking around.

“Yeah. It’s quiet.”

“You’re right. I thought they would attack immediately. But there’s nothing… Haa… It’s cold.”

Several hours had passed since we killed the suited man, the demon-possessed or minion or whatever he was, but his comrades or subordinates hadn’t shown up yet.

The Abyssal Roach seemed to be diligently searching the vicinity, but it hadn’t found any other survivors.

“Where are the others?”

“They’re all resting in the tents. Ha Jin-seong, who was keeping watch with me, went to the bathroom for a bit.”

With the number of people in the supermarket drastically reduced, everyone had to take turns keeping watch. Moreover, everyone seemed tired after staying up all night.

Excluding the harem, the only remaining members were the Ha brothers, Hwang Soo-min, and Kang Eun-jeong, so we all had to take turns on night watch duty now while resting when we could. We didn’t know when we might have to fight against the Central Association or whatever they were called.

“Our Ah-reum is working hard. Are you cold?”

“Ah, w-wait. Don’t cling to me so much!”

I embraced Ah-reum from behind as she rubbed her hands together, blowing on them to warm them up.

Although embarrassed, she didn’t reject me and accepted my embrace.

“Hey, don’t lean on my shoulder so much! You’re heavy!”

“Okay, okay.”

I nuzzled my face against Ah-reum’s hair as she grumbled playfully.

I enjoyed the refreshing scent of her shampoo.

The water in the bathrooms had been completely cut off, but thankfully, Hee-sun had successfully formed a contract with an Undine, so we had access to water again.

And with my Salamander, we could still take warm showers.

Being in a supermarket, we still had an abundance of shampoo, conditioner, and other such items.

“Ah-reum. Sniff sniff… You smell really good.”

“I just washed up… And stop sniffing my head! It’s embarrassing!”

“Okay, sorry. But I’ll just stay like this with you for a little longer.”

“Sigh, fine… Do as you please. But Eun-ji unnie will be so jealous if she sees us. She pretends not to be, but she’s incredibly jealous.”

“Hehe. When Eun-ji gets jealous, she clings to me even more, so I like it.”

“You’re such a pervert.”

Still embracing Ah-reum from behind, I slipped my hand inside her clothes, caressing her stomach and breasts.

Ah-reum playfully pinched the back of my hand, but when I tried to pull my hand away, she lightly held onto it and guided it back to her breasts.

It seemed like a complex emotion, a mix of dislike and pleasure.

‘Come to think of it… It’s been a while…’

I had been so preoccupied with the thought of having sex with Merhere at the Black Market, but various events had prevented it.

Moreover, the zombies had gained intelligence, and the Central Association was also a concern. The presence of an unknown enemy with unknown strength and numbers was unsettling.

I had to eliminate any risk factors.

I felt uneasy unless I killed or enslaved everyone else.

This compulsive behavior had worsened after the good gods’ converts attacked the supermarket.

It was fortunate that my women were there to comfort me. Otherwise, I might have developed neurosis.

Now, I could only fall asleep after smelling their scent. I couldn’t sleep alone anymore.

“Haa… But how long can we live like this?”

“Huh? What’s with the sudden question?”

“Well… Don’t you think so? The world is getting stranger every day… The zombies are getting stronger… The only person I can trust and rely on is you… and even you act strange sometimes… I’m just feeling uneasy. Like… I can’t see the future. You know what I mean?”

“Hmm. I know.”

Ah-reum was feeling anxious about the uncertain future.

The supermarket itself had been attacked multiple times, the disaster kept updating, and if I hadn’t arrived in time last night, everyone would have died.

I understood her anxiety. I was also getting anxious. The uncertainty of when I might die was difficult to bear.

“But it’s okay. It’ll be okay.”

“How?”

“Let’s just think this way. The disaster will keep updating. The number of those targeting us will keep increasing. The zombies will keep getting stronger. But…”

“No, that’s incredibly depressing. What’s okay about that? The disaster is endless, survival is getting harsher, and the zombies are becoming overwhelmingly strong.”

“Well, that’s true. But we can’t die. Worrying won’t change anything. If we keep being depressed… we’ll really want to die.”

“Haa… That’s true…”

I gently turned Ah-reum around to face me and embraced her.

“Ah… W-wait. I can’t see around us like this… Did you forget that we’re on watch in case enemies come?”

“It’s fine. I’ll watch instead. I can keep an eye out. You just stay in my arms for a bit. Isn’t Oppa’s embrace warm?”

“…Well, it is warm…”

“Right?”

My body was slightly warmer after eating the red orb. Perhaps because of that, Ah-reum, who had been cold, gradually snuggled deeper into my embrace.

I hugged her tighter.

She awkwardly wrapped her arms around my back, returning the embrace.

We grew warmer while sharing each other’s warmth.

“Ah-reum. Look up.”

“Huh? Why? Ah…”

Slurp.

I licked Ah-reum’s lips and slipped my tongue into her slightly parted mouth.

“W-wait… Slurp. Kiss…”

She instinctively tried to push me away as I pushed my tongue in.

Slurp. Kiss. Smooch…

But she didn’t completely reject the kiss.

Ah-reum was the type who tried to push me away while simultaneously wanting me to stay, a shy girl.

She was like a tsundere. She pretended to reject me out of some kind of pride, but she didn’t really want to be pushed away.

“Fuha… W-we can do more…”

“Should we?”

“…Yes.”

I slipped my hand into Ah-reum’s pants and gently caressed her pussy.

The more I touched her, the wetter she became. Her older sister, Ah-ram, would be dripping with just a little stimulation, but Ah-reum wasn’t quite that wet yet.

“Haa…♡”

“You too. Touch me.”

“Yes…”

Ah-reum’s cold hand slid inside my pants, and caressed my fully erect dick.

“This… is really warm…”

“It’s practically a hand warmer. Tell me next time you’re cold. I’ll let you touch it.”

“Pfft. What’s that? No thanks.”

Soon, Ah-reum, who had been fondling my penis, began to give me a handjob in earnest.

She pressed the opening of my urethra with her thumb, rubbing the pre-cum that leaked out, then focused on stroking my glans.

“You… Your hand skills have suddenly improved.”

“That’s because… Haa…♡ When… when you weren’t around… Haa♡ Unnie taught me. She said you like it when I touch you like this.”

“Ha. Han Ah-ram. That pink-haired girl… Her skills are good, but… Well, it’s not bad.”

“Ah, not Ah-ram unnie… Eun-ji unnie… Haa…♡”

“Eun-ji?”

“Yes…♡ She said… she wants you to feel good.”

“Haha… That girl… How thoughtful.”

I slightly pulled down Ah-reum’s pants and rubbed my swollen penis between her thighs.

“Slurp… Smooch. Kiss… Haa…♡ Oppa. Now… Shall we put it in…?”

“Yeah… Spread your legs a little.”

“Yes…♡”

Thrust.

“Haa…!♡ Mmm…”

Ah-reum quickly covered her mouth as my dick entered her.

“Why?”

“If they hear us… Hnn…♡ It’s not… allowed…”

“Why not?”

“R-right now…♡ I… I want to monopolize you…♡ Hey, it’s embarrassing… so stop asking. Can you just… thrust already?”

“Alright.”

I continued thrusting while embracing her, muffling our sounds so the other women wouldn’t hear us, like we were enjoying a secret affair.

“Grunt.”

“Haa…♡ Kuhh…♡ Warm…♡”

I grabbed one of her legs, spreading her thighs further.

Then, I lifted her slightly, holding her buttocks tightly and thrusting into her as if I was using a sex toy.

Thump thump thump thump thump.

The sounds of our lovemaking quietly echoed in the silent rooftop.

Suddenly, I felt a presence behind me. It was probably Ha Jin-seong returning from the bathroom. He discreetly left.

Without any further interruptions, we continued to explore each other. Ah-reum, who seemed like she would never get used to sex, had become a woman who knew how to move her body properly.

Moreover, she tightened around me smoothly, as if the shape of my penis had been imprinted on her.

“Hnn…”

Ah-reum suppressed her moans while nibbling and sucking on my neck.

The pain triggered a wave of pleasure, bringing me closer to orgasm.

“I’m… about to cum.”

“Yes… Me too. I’m… I’m… Huuu…♡”

Spurt… Spurt…

After a long orgasm, I gently lowered her to the ground.

“Ha… Ha…”

I held Ah-reum’s face as her tongue lolled out and her legs trembled and kissed her deeply for a long time.

Slurp. Slurp. Smooch…

“Fuha…”

After kissing for a while, someone approached us from behind and spoke.

“Hmm… Han Ah-reum. It’s time for our shift change… Um… What are you doing?”

It was Merhere, her cheeks slightly flushed.

She glanced back and forth between Ah-reum’s pussy, from which semen was dripping, and my penis, which was also covered in fluids, her face reddening further.

It seemed to be a rather embarrassing sight for a former angel.

T/N – Awww. It seems like the orb doesn’t have any effect for the moment. The ring is pretty cool though.
