Chapter 975

EP.975 IF Route, Bed Ending # 013-C Widow Rusalka

This is an IF route.

B’e’D ending.

Based on the normal ending.

The concept: “What if Anastasha became disillusioned with Light Blade for abandoning Seok Harang?”

* * *

After Phoenix’s disappearance.

All monsters affiliated with Phoenix vanished.

No one knows where Phoenix went, but all the monsters connected to her disappeared without a trace.

– Mother…

– I don’t feel well…

Like turning into ash, all of Phoenix’s creations dissolved into dust and scattered.

The reason was simple.

They were all subordinate to Phoenix.

Very few monsters survived Phoenix’s disappearance.

Only those who had broken free from Phoenix’s control remained, including some famous monsters known throughout the world.

And among them was “Light Blade.”

* * *

Busan coastline, a grave.

“……”

A white-haired foreign woman bowed her head in front of the tombstone left at the seaside.

She wore a black dress, with everything except her inherent white color coordinated in black.

It was to mourn someone’s death, and she was having her moment of mourning for the one she loved.

“Is it over?”

“Yeah.”

Behind the woman stood another youth with hair gone white.

His eyes had a faint blue tinge, different from the blue hue in the woman’s eyes.

“Mr. Yoon-hwan was too timid to step up when he should have.”

Heo Yoon-hwan.

That was the name on this tombstone, and also the name of the man who had been reborn and died many times in this world – Light Blade.

“While I lived as Anastasha, I couldn’t approach him. Know why?”

“Afraid Rusalka would awaken?”

“Exactly. Afraid that monster Rusalka would detect my spirit form and go berserk, I couldn’t even suggest we meet.”

Anastasha, formerly Rusalka of Seoyea, gave a bitter smile and shook her head.

“I wanted to live a new life as Anastasha, but after you appeared, I couldn’t help but think about my past life. Maybe I could reclaim the happiness I once had…”

Rusalka violently shook her head in denial.

“But I was wrong. Over 20 years, the man I loved, Heo Yoon-hwan, ceased to exist.”

“Still…”

“If he truly loved me, he would have taken care of Harang, the fruit of our love.”

Jiggle, jiggle.

Coldness began to spread around Rusalka.

“How could you abandon your child at the orphanage and run away, you bastard?”

“……”

Rusalka was furious as a mother.

While Light Blade might have seen his daughter as a reminder of losing his beloved wife, that was from his perspective. For Rusalka, who endured labor pains to give birth, it was an entirely different matter.

“Was fearing Light Blade the reason?”

“She’s my child, born from my pain. I risked my life to bring her into this world, and sacrificed myself to save her. But that person…”

Rusalka turned her back on the grave.

The cold wind blew through her hair, revealing her resolute determination.

“That’s enough. Let’s stop talking about the past.”

“……”

Rusalka approached me and firmly grabbed my hand.

Even though I wanted to pull away, I couldn’t.

Because currently, I am a being subordinate to her.

“A fragment of the hero who saved the world. Heh, interesting…”

“Can you calm down?”

“How can I calm down? You broke someone’s heart and expect me to just let it slide?”

“I’m just a fragment.”

“Even as a fragment, it’s fine. To me, you can be everything.”

Rusalka’s forwardness left me speechless.

“…Harang will be greatly shocked.”

“Harang has her own life.”

“Harang doesn’t even look at Xroids.”

“Oh my, so Harang is a virtuous woman while I’m a promiscuous one?”

“No, that’s not what I meant…”

Rusalka pulled on my arm.

“Understand this. Seongju is dead, and I’m free now. Free to live however I want. And…”

“What does that have to do with me?”

“That day.”

Rusalka looked up at me wistfully.

“The day I was forced into marriage, who broke the window to rescue me?”

“……That was merely part of the vanguard.”

“No, no. Don’t say that. Because of you, I was able to start a new life. And…”

Rusalka lightly touched my cheek and smiled faintly.

“As Anastasha or as Rusalka, during these 20 years, I found more interest in someone who sacrificed everything for another person than in the man who abandoned his child to live recklessly.”

“I’m just a fragment.”

“That’s why I’m saying this.”

Rusalka licked her lips and gave a suggestive smile.

“Curious how exactly Chang-yeom fell for the real you. I want to know. And I can’t stand losing to that chick.”

“I’m not the real one, just a copy.”

“To me, you’re the real thing if I say you are. Hmm, this won’t work.”

Rusalka firmly grabbed my cheeks.

“Are you going to act like Heo Yoon-hwan?”

“…No.”

I grabbed Rusalka’s waist.

Even knowing there was no turning back, I couldn’t resist the intense gaze this woman directed at me.

After all.

In the original game, Rusalka was originally portrayed as a ‘dead person.’

I met her first in this world and was the first Tera-related person she formed a relationship with in this world.

Meaning, if I were to have sex with Rusalka…

“Tell your original self in your original world this.”

Rusalka whispered into my ear.

“The Rusalka you couldn’t get, I’ll take instead.”

“Taking…”

I grabbed Rusalka’s chin and whispered back into her ear.

“We’re sharing love.”

“……Alright.”

Swish.

The coldness began to dissipate.

Rusalka’s crescent-shaped eyes stared straight at me, and she snapped her fingers.

Swish.

Rusalka’s body began to rapidly transform.

From the typical Russian appearance into the form I knew well from the bonus content.

“From now on, I’ll live like this.”

Rusalka of Seoyea.

She shed her identity as Anastasha.

More accurately, she restructured her body using Anastasha’s physical form as a base.

Though her power may be less than when she was a spirit or goddess, there aren’t many SS+ level beings in this world.

“Let’s start with this.”

Crackle!

A massive igloo formed around us.

I immediately recognized it as a barrier created by Rusalka.

“Why a barrier…?”

“My sensitivity to magic has weakened since becoming an Xroid. This barrier was here all along.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I’m SS+ rank, and you have an S-rank core, right? Naturally, you wouldn’t notice.”

Rusalka pressed her body against mine.

True to her role as Harang’s mother, her bust wasn’t overly bouncy or soft like others, but a compact size that fit perfectly against my body, making it extremely comfortable to hold.

“Do it here.”

“…Excuse me?”

“This way, I can make a firm new start.”

“Has there ever been a case in Earth’s history where someone had sex in front of their ex-husband’s grave?”

“Eh, who cares. I’m from Tera.”

What spirit sensitivity.

A spirit blinded by love cannot be stopped by anyone.

Still, doing it in front of Light Blade’s grave…

‘What can’t be done?’

I grabbed Rusalka’s hips with both hands.

Rusalka climbed onto me in one swift motion, standing on the heels of her boots, raising her toes as she looked down at me.

“Can you get Korean citizenship?”

“I suppose so.”

“In that case, how about this? If you embrace me and keep loving me…”

Rusalka made a proposal I couldn’t possibly refuse.

“…There will be one SS+ level hero from Russia appearing in this country. How’s that sound?”

“Are you appealing to my patriotism now?”

“Exactly. You subtly, or maybe not so subtly, care about this country. Otherwise, you would’ve operated elsewhere, taking everyone with you, right? Isn’t that true?”

“…Can’t deny that.”

I slipped my hands inside Rusalka’s thighs.

Rusalka placed her hands on my shoulders in response to my gesture, and I lifted her up in one motion.

“With this pose, what do you plan to…”

“People say…”

If you can have sex with Rusalka, you absolutely must do doggy style.

“…Don’t think about falling.”

Creak.

I thrust my member into Rusalka all at once.

I felt a slight sensation of foreignness and experienced a shock like electric currents running through my entire body.

“You…”

“Hnnn….”

Rusalka winced.

The spicy scent rising from below made me dizzy, but Rusalka leaned close to me and kissed me.

Slurp, slurp.

A tongue movement familiar with kissing.

I responded to her kiss, longing for love, and held her tightly.

Swoosh.

“…Haa.”

Rusalka smiled lazily at me.

“…Won’t you tell me you love me?”

“Don’t ask for permission. Tell me whenever you feel like it.”

I kissed Rusalka again.

Rusalka mixed saliva with me while giving a bright-eyed smile.

“…Haa. By the way, have you ever been with a widow?”

“Does a virgin who’s given birth exist in this world?”

“Here in this world, there’s something called immaculate conception-”

“Tsk.”

I covered Rusalka’s mouth.

“All I see before me is a maiden seeking love.”

“……Alright.”

Rusalka smiled and winked.

“I’ll make sure no other women, including Chang-yeom, come to mind, and make you love only me.”

“It’s my line to say.”

Creak.

I finally thrust my member all the way in.

“…I’ll make sure you don’t think of your ex-husband.”

* * *

Years passed.

The SS+ level hero from Russia, ‘Rusalka,’ entered Korea with a young girl and two silver-haired Koreans.

The girl resembled Seok Harang’s younger sister but had eyes like blue flames.
