Chapter 516

〈 Episode 516 〉IF Route, Bad Ending #004

Cheon Gaeul is dead.

Because of my stubbornness and mistakes, Cheon Gaeul met an untimely end with an arrow piercing her heart. And that was pretty much the death sentence for me—a life expectancy now shortened to just five years.

– Struggling like this won’t change anything, will it?

Even if I save the remaining 15 people, we’ll still fall short by one to reach the true ending.

Let’s quit.

And just like that, I lost consciousness.

* * *

“……?”

“What’s wrong?”

Yu I-shin took notice of Park Seong-tae’s strange behavior.

“Huh, it’s weird that it still hasn’t shown up.”

“That troublesome thing you’re talking about.”

“Yeah. Given how thoroughly we’ve searched, it should’ve appeared by now, right?”

After killing the villain hiding in the parliamentary office wearing sunglasses, they scoured the chrysanthemum office but still couldn’t find the item in question. If something can’t be found even by special ability users, it might as well not exist—but then again, facing the wrath of a high-up would mean trouble.

“Let’s check again.”

Yu I-shin dragged Park Seong-tae to re-search the parliament building. While the heroes were momentarily occupied, the Pine Tree Unit had to remain focused on their mission.

Then they noticed a small maiden kneeling beside the deceased Cheon Gaeul. The girl with blue hair, seemingly a special ability user, was crouched down in despair next to Cheon Gaeul, her head bowed low.

“It’s leaking.”

“…Wait. She seems unconscious?”

“No matter what!”

Choi Pyo suddenly appeared in the main hall and flew toward the girl, Phoenix. Phoenix was gripping Cheon Gaeul’s hand like a lifeless doll, frozen in place.

“…What level do you think she is?”

“…She surpasses A-Rank easily.”

“S-Rank. Damn it.”

With trembling hands, Choi Pyo waved them in front of Phoenix’s eyes. Though she was an immeasurably powerful being beyond his own comprehension, she was currently nothing more than an unconscious person.

“…Her mental fortitude doesn’t seem to reach S-Rank or even E-Rank.”

Choi Pyo lifted Phoenix’s head while swallowing hard.

“If we don’t find the item, isn’t this okay…?”

“It could serve as an excuse.”

Yu I-shin also felt captivated by Phoenix’s appearance.

“…Yu I-shin.”

“Yes.”

“Should we offer this to ‘Cheongsong’ and negotiate for our freedom?”

Park Seong-tae decided to gamble everything on this one shot.

* * *

Daejeon.

“Very well.”

Cheongsong laid Phoenix on a mobile bed after Park Seong-tae and Yu I-shin brought her.

“After tattooing this special ability user, I’ll remove your tattoos.”

“…Thank you.”

Yu I-shin deeply bowed her head. Though they were selling someone they barely knew in exchange for freedom, she still desired to live freely.

“Who would’ve thought you’d be here.”

“…It’s merely for the sake of the nation.”

Heo Yoon-hwan, wielding Light Blade, stood against the wall ready to draw his sword at any moment. Cheongsong chuckled behind her robe.

“It’s all about mutual interests. This is simply an easy way to defeat an overwhelming enemy.”

“…”

Cheongsong picked up the brush placed by the bedside.

“Hmph, who would’ve thought such a fearsome opponent as Light Blade would fall so easily.”

“Don’t forget our agreement.”

“Of course. I swear upon my love that I won’t harm your family.”

Cheongsong and Heo Yoon-hwan made a pact.

Fortunately, Park Seong-tae and Yu I-shin’s life-or-death gamble succeeded. Cheongsong and Heo Yoon-hwan secretly formed an alliance based on shared interests.

“Then let’s begin the procedure.”

Cheongsong rolled up her sleeves and dipped the brush in ink.

* * *

Plop, plop.

Sun I-cheol was enthusiastically thrusting into the doll-like blue-haired woman laid out on his desk.

“Huff, huff.”

Despite using various energy boosters and herbal teas, his naturally undersized member couldn’t fully satisfy the woman.

But it didn’t matter.

“Heh, this love doll is amazing.”

Sun I-cheol praised Cheongsong from afar.

“No matter how much you use it, it won’t break.”

“Hmmph, it’s a shame. Shouldn’t I be allowed to keep this forever?”

“I’m sorry, but no.”

To calm Sun I-cheol, who was throwing a tantrum over not finding the Cube, Cheongsong procured a life-like “love doll” and handed it to him.

Phoenix.

Still unconscious, she had become a slave to Cheongsong, treated as a love doll beneath Sun I-cheol.

Plop, plop, plop!

Sun I-cheol’s tiny, aged appendage prodded Phoenix’s depths. Even with such a small object, it stimulated her enough to tighten and release repeatedly.

“Huff, huff!”

Sun I-cheol climaxed almost instantly due to his rapid ejaculation and small size. Cheongsong silently mocked him by comparing his member to her fingers before approaching to retrieve Phoenix.

“Then I’ll take her back now.”

“Just a moment! Wait a second. Huff, I haven’t finished yet.”

“I apologize, but the next customer is waiting.”

“What? You’re giving this to multiple people?”

Sun I-cheol froze mid-stimulation. Cheongsong chuckled softly as she wiped away his semen from Phoenix’s vagina with a wet tissue.

“So, Your Excellency, did you intend to monopolize this all to yourself?”

“Grr. Can’t I? I’ll give you everything you want. How about expanding the research facility to 20 floors as you requested?”

“It’s too late for that.”

Cheongsong firmly rejected Sun I-cheol’s offer and hoisted Phoenix onto her shoulder.

“Then wait a week.”

“Grr, Cheongsong, is this how we treat each other?”

Sun I-cheol seemed quite anxious. His eyes lingered on the voluptuous breasts of the love doll he hadn’t fully enjoyed yet, and his erection leaked uncontrollably.

“Your Excellency.”

Cheongsong smiled sweetly.

“We also have Xroids designed for those under 7cm. Why don’t you try that?”

“…”

Cheongsong disappeared into the shadows with Phoenix. Sun I-cheol threw a crumpled tissue in anger and slumped back into his chair.

“Damn it, damn it.”

His gaze fell on the map of Korea hanging on the wall, focusing on Pyongyang.

“…I’ll wait a week.”

Until then, he’d abstain and stockpile. Sun I-cheol adjusted his glasses and began meticulously reviewing the expansion plan for the research facility sent by Cheongsong.

* * *

The research facility underground welcomed Cheongsong, who had disregarded even the ruler of the nation, carrying the love doll Phoenix.

“Welcome.”

Park Seong-tae greeted Cheongsong in a white lab coat. Yu I-shin also rose from typing on her keyboard to welcome her.

“Eww. Cheongsong, did you properly clean her?”

Yu I-shin grabbed several towels to wipe Phoenix’s vagina where Cheongsong had laid her on the bed. Cheongsong openly showed her displeasure and distanced herself.

“Why would I touch something smeared with old semen?”

“But you should at least handle the cleanup.”

Yu I-shin bluntly said while using her fingers to scoop out the semen lingering inside. A yellowish fluid weakly oozed out. Park Seong-tae loosened his collar as he removed his gown.

“Isn’t it considerate to think of the next user?”

“Anyway, you wouldn’t hesitate to use others’ belongings, would you?”

Cheongsong shrugged indifferently and blew her nose. Yu I-shin and Park Seong-tae exchanged glances and snickered after glancing at Phoenix.

“Right?”

“As long as we can grow stronger.”

Yu I-shin also discarded her gown. They were already naked except for their lab coats.

“…Anyway, thanks to you, we’ve gained excellent research material.”

Cheongsong grinned while scratching her chin.

“Who would’ve thought there’d be a special ability to strengthen another’s magical power through sexual intercourse.”

“Just lying beside her increases it too. Hehe.”

Yu I-shin hovered above Phoenix’s body, pressing down. Two moist openings rubbed together as Park Seong-tae stretched and warmed up his member.

“Hmm.”

Cheongsong extended her finger to measure Park Seong-tae’s member. It appeared 2-3 times longer and thicker than Sun I-cheol’s in both length and girth.

“Hasn’t yours grown larger since last time?”

“Yes. It thickened when I reached near-S-Rank.”

Park Seong-tae bowed his head in gratitude to Cheongsong.

“Isn’t this possible only because you revealed the abilities of this S-Rank special ability user? Hahaha!”

“Right, I also surpassed A-Rank and reached near-S-Rank.”

Park Seong-tae and Yu I-shin wiped their necks and laughed. Despite lacking visible tattoos, they remained loyal to Cheongsong.

“Cheongsong, why don’t you join us? Remove that robe. If you’re male, you can borrow Phoenix’s rear. If you’re female, I’ll accommodate you.”

“Shut up. …Ugh, don’t show me that.”

Cheongsong momentarily faltered at the sight of Park Seong-tae’s grotesque member.

“Haha, isn’t this the power of special abilities? Again.”

Choi Pyo’s member hardened like steel. The special ability that turned his skin into steel applied to his member as well. Cheongsong cleared her throat awkwardly.

“Robin, weren’t you plotting rebellion? Why are you following me even after regaining your freedom?”

“…You know?”

“Wouldn’t I?”

Cheongsong tapped her neck and scoffed, while Yu I-shin lazily smiled and embraced Phoenix.

“…If I wander outside while weakened, I’ll just get hunted by the heroes. First, I need to become incredibly strong… Huff…”

Park Seong-tae’s iron-hard member penetrated Yu I-shin. The burning hot member pierced her like heated metal as Yu I-shin buried her face in Phoenix’s collarbone.

“Huff, huff! It’s really too big…!”

“Hmm, compared to Sun I-cheol?”

“That’s not even a penis, huff!”

Park Seong-tae gently pressed and stimulated Yu I-shin’s twitching anus with his thumb. Her vagina secreted lubrication to suppress the pain, but his member was steel-thick and unyielding.

“Huff, huff!”

Yu I-shin screamed while clutching Phoenix’s face. Despite two couples engaging in intercourse above her, Phoenix remained unconscious with a vacant stare.

“Cheongsong, seriously, aren’t you going to join? This is a golden opportunity for you to reach S-Rank… Huff?!”

“First, become S-Rank yourself? Hahaha.”

“Exactly, that’s why we do this every day… Huff!”

“…I’ll work separately. You two figure it out yourselves.”

Cheongsong grumbled and gradually sank into the shadows. Park Seong-tae and Yu I-shin gave her a playful salute as she left.

“Huff, loyalty!”

“Huff, Cheongsong, good sex…!”

“Crazy bastards.”

Cheongsong spat curses as she sank into the shadows. Her raised white-gloved arm remained aloft before disappearing completely.

“You’re embarrassed. Chopyo. Anyway, let’s stop betting… Ah, let’s talk!”

“There’s no point talking. That’s definitely a guy. Probably ashamed because his member is smaller than mine.”

Yu I-shin trembled while rubbing her cheek against Phoenix’s lips. Even lying down, Phoenix’s voluptuous breasts brushed against Yu I-shin’s, stimulating her nipples.

“Huff, no way. Cheongsong is absolutely female…!”

“How is that? That guy is clearly male. Any evidence? Hmm?”

“Evidence…! Intuition! I’m an archer, huff!”

“Haha. You’re an intuitive archer. I’ll fill you up.”

The intertwined magical powers of two near-S-Ranks mixed in the vagina. The pure magical power flowing from Phoenix’s body mingled with theirs, invigorating their own powers.

“Huff, huff! A sensation incomparable to O-Teacher…!”

It was a peculiar sensation only those who could sense magical power could experience. Their bodies absorbed Phoenix’s pure magical power, making it their own, rendering their previously accumulated power useless.

“Huff, huff! I’m cumming!”

“I-I’m coming too…!”

Squirt! Squirt!

Steamy semen surged like molten metal, filling Yu I-shin’s belly.

“Huff, huff.”

Yu I-shin clutched Phoenix tightly as if burned by a scorching sensation in her stomach. When reaching climax, the world usually went white, but now it was flooding with blue.

Boil, boil.

Their magical powers churned. Unbeknownst to them, Phoenix’s magical power entering their veins began burning away impurities and waste products.

“Huff, damn, feels good.”

“…I feel satisfied too.”

Yu I-shin kissed Phoenix’s lips, grateful for this fulfillment.

“Ew, you like that kind of thing?”

“I don’t understand your preferences instead. Why not claim such a beautiful woman? Is it because someone else used her first?”

Yu I-shin pinched Phoenix’s cheeks wistfully.

“Hmph, if I wasn’t tied up, I’d have claimed her quickly…”

“What’s the point of mounting an unconscious doll?”

Choi Pyo rubbed his iron-hard member against Yu I-shin’s groin.

“Round 2.”

“…Wait! Just one minute rest!”

“Then I’ll enter from the other side.”

“What?!”

Choi Pyo’s member aimed upward, invading another tunnel. Yu I-shin began panting again while holding Phoenix’s face.

“Huff, huff!”

“…”

Phoenix’s gaze remained cloudy, staring blankly at the ceiling.

* * *

How much time had passed?

How many people had been allowed access to her body?

One thing was certain—the end of the world had yet to arrive.

“Captain! There’s a girl here!”

“It’s the target! We must protect her!”

“She must not be taken!”

Blond men and women came to rescue her.

Ah.

Only half a year left.

Phoenix lost consciousness once more.
