Ruler of the Game 430

Chapter 430 – Return After Long Absence

Seong-il decided to quietly do as Lee Ah-hyun said. As he squeezed her breasts hard, sobs began to flow from Lee Ah-hyun’s mouth, whether it was crying or the sound of pleasure.

***

“Surely this suits you.”

“What bullshit again… What the hell suits me?”

Instead of answering, he roughly kneads Lee Ah-hyun’s big ass and whispers her name in her ear.

“What is it? It’s getting stuck under me and whimpering.”

“Crazy…”

Lee Ah-hyun answers Seong-il’s blatant harassment with a tone of absurdity. However, unexpectedly, she doesn’t show any disapproval at Seong-il’s words.

“Think carefully. From now on, we have to continue our lives in a place we’ve never encountered before.”

“…So?”

“For the time being, until you fully adapt to this place, always maintain your signature icy expression.”

“…”

“Just make a tough expression when you’re cuddling with me on the bed. When we’re alone, I’ll take your annoyance no matter how much.”

“Joy…”

Lee Ah-hyun reacts with a snort when Seong-il talks about her as if she were a lover. However, unlike her reaction, when she hears Seong-il’s words, her expression starts to loosen slightly.

“Hey…It seems like my depression has eased up a bit…”

“…?”

“Now, let’s really have fun eating rice cakes!!”

“…”

Lee Ah-hyun, despite the explicit words of Seong-il, does not say anything of disapproval. Seeing her reaction, Seong-il starts to rush towards Ah-hyeon, and the two begin to have a deep conversation from dawn again.

***

Ding dong!! Ding dong!!!

“…”

Late morning. The ringtone heard in Lee Ah-hyun’s room. However, the two men and women who had a body-to-body conversation the day before were not able to hear the bell ringing due to fatigue and falling asleep late.

Thump!! Bang Bang!!!

Then, the visitor starts knocking on the door of the inn. In the end, Seong-il, unable to withstand the noise, wakes up from bed with a tired expression.

“Ah… Mr… What a mess from the morning… Ah!”

Having lived only in the game world, the sense of time in reality has faded. Seong-il realizes that she is in the ark of the rebels she stumbled into in her current reality, and she hurries out to the door.

“Who are you!”

“…Are you awake?”

“Ah, yes…”

Min Ye-jin, a beautiful hunter with bobbed hair and an impressive cat figure, appeared as soon as she left the door. She was wearing a fairly decent outfit, not the shabby one seen in the dungeon.

“…By the way, why are you in Lee Ah-hyun’s room? Wasn’t the room next to yours?”

“Yes. That’s my room.”

“Ah…The two of you are like that…?”

“Well, it’s a similar relationship.”

Min Ye-jin shrugs her shoulders at Seong-il’s calm response and replies with a knowing tone.

“Well. So, even during the chaos, he must have teleported her to priority. Anyway… I know you’re tired, but why don’t you take a look around here?”

“Oh, can’t I just do it for now?”

“Um? Only you…?”

“Yes. Ah-hyeon is a bit… Very tired right now.”

“…”

Drunk with the taste of Lee Ah-hyun’s chewy pussy, which she hadn’t tasted in a long time, her sexuality haunted her all night. It is said that her body recovers with her internal energy as she polishes her dual-handed technique, but due to sex attempts that exceed her ability, Lee Ah-hyun is in a situation where she is completely stretched out.

“Well… You can do it one more time in the afternoon. Follow me.”

Min Ye-jin answers with a bitter smile at the explicit expression of Seong-il. Seong-il quietly follows her and asks questions.

“By the way, your outfit is pretty neat today?

“Ah, at that time I was on a long-term mission, so I didn’t receive supplies… And…”

“Also?”

“It’s good to be noticed by the enemy if you dress up too well.”

“But…”

Dressing up in itself in a ruined world means living in the social system created by the aliens after subjugation to them, or belonging to a society of rebellious aliens. You will quickly realize what you are talking about.

“Oh…”

The scene of ‘The Ark’ that I saw while following Min Ye-jin.

Surprisingly, the inside looks round. It was not an idiomatic expression, but the city was spread out ’round’ based on the core where Illax resided.

“What the hell… How? There’s a building on the ceiling and walls? How can this be?!”

When it was daytime and he was able to take a closer look inside, the interior scene of the ark shocked Seong-il. What was even more surprising was that the more she walked, the closer she got to the ‘ceiling’.

“Ah… That? It’s hard to explain with words… Hmm… So, the ‘ark’ nestled in the dimensional gap is a strange space between the 2nd and 3rd dimensions.”

“Hmm…”

“This place is flat, but at the same time it’s a three-dimensional world, and even sometimes it’s a multi-dimensional world that’s even more than that.”

“What do you mean…”

“Sorry. I’m not a scientist… Actually, I don’t know either. I’m just reciting what I heard roughly as I remember. I could be wrong. Haha…”

“Well… That’s worth it.”

Leaving behind Min Ye-jin, who talks a lot of her difficult words, Seong-il looks around her and asks her about something really important about her.

“By the way… What will become of us?”

“Oh, that matters.”

Min Ye-jin nods at Seong-il’s direct question. He leads the holy day to a bench installed inside the ark.

“You guys have three options.”

“Which is it?”

“The first is to enter the school the hunters made in the ark.”

“…School?”

At best, she thought she was out of fucking school, but when Min Ye-jin offers admission to another school, Seong-il frowns at her.

“Yeah. As I told you yesterday, the reason we brought you here is that there’s a high probability that you’re a ‘fit person’.”

“Ah… A human with a body suitable for implanting the minds of those aliens?”

“Yes. I explained it yesterday, but we have no intention of handing over the fittest to the fanatics.”

“…”

“Of course, we don’t think it’s right to forcibly suppress or eliminate innocent fitters at the same time.”

“Hmm…”

“So, as a compromise, we intend to awaken your abilities to ‘unsuitable’ for their purposes. Good terms for us as well as for you.”

“…What exactly are those conditions?”

Based on the time in the real world, Min Ye-jin had already explained the contents to Seong-il in detail the day before, but Seong-il had been active in another world for half a year, so his memory of the contents was vague.

Therefore, Seong-il really couldn’t remember and asked Min Ye-jin about the suitable person, but Min Ye-jin probably misunderstood that he was asking about ‘detailed’ conditions, and started explaining again.

“It’s simple, you just need to awaken your ability to an A-class hunter or higher.”

“…So simple? Then, who are the A~S class hunters who have been robbed of their bodies? The manager, Professor Wooyoung Cho, who had a fight with us a while ago, is also from an S class hunter? Were you robbed of your body?”

Based on Professor Woo-Young Cho’s hair obtained in the past training ground, Seong-il read his memories and confirmed the confrontation between S-class hunter Woo-Young Cho before he lost his body with the transcendent in the past. When Min Ye-jin brings up a story that is different from what he knew, he responds that he cannot understand.

“No. However, if they belong to an association or government, there is a very high possibility that A-S class fit people have been ‘developed’ to be suitable for transplantation.”

“…It’s hard to understand what you’re saying.”

Even if the front and back are different, Min Ye-jin’s words are very different. Seong-il looks absurd at her contradictory remark that he is not a member of the association, even though he said that strengthening the simple ability awakening can prevent the alien’s tricks.

“I understand. But, if you look at this, you’ll understand a little bit.”

“…?”

Min Ye-jin takes out a small glass bottle and shows it to Seong-il, who doesn’t understand. In the glass bottle, Seong-il finds something quite familiar and unpleasant.

“…A red thread?”

“Yes. The red thread. It’s what we call ‘infectious’.”

“…What the hell is that? It’s been dug into my body a while ago…”

“That’s a very complex object.”

“Hmm…”

Min Ye-jin waved a glass bottle in front of Seong-il, who had a headache, and continued his explanation.

“The first thing is to parasitize on the body of a human psychic who has invaded the dungeon and determine if he is a ‘suitable person’.”

“…What if it doesn’t fit?”

“At that time, use it as a ‘host’.”

“A host?”

Words that make you uncomfortable just hearing them. Min Ye-jin nodded her head and continued her words.

“It’s literally. If you parasitize on the body of an ‘unsuitable’ psychic, the red thread slowly sucks the power of the psychic and replicates another red thread. Then, in the end, it waits in the body of the psychic, If you invade a ‘dungeon’, it will break out of your body and live in that dungeon.”

“Why are you in a dungeon…?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps it’s to satisfy certain ‘conditions’… But the most likely hypothesis is that in order not to harm ‘immature’ humans who have not yet awakened to their psychic powers, they are active in dungeons where only psychic people are active. The most likely theory is that it does.”

“…That sounds plausible.”

As the purpose of the aliens is to raise and secure humans suitable for mind transplantation, the explanation that the red thread does not want to go wild outside the dungeon sounds quite convincing to Seong-il.

“The second is important. The second is to parasitize the body of a fit person and transform his abilities into an optimized body that can be implanted with a mind. It is the most dangerous step.”

“…Do you mean me?”

“Yes. It must have been slowly being renovated.”

“Fuck… No way? I’m already!?”

At Min Ye-jin’s words, Seong-il feels a chill in his spine.

“Whoops… Fortunately, I checked the ‘red thread’ on your body, but it wasn’t to that extent. It was in the early stages.”

“Whew…”

Min Ye-jin’s answer that makes you feel fortunate out of misfortune.

“Anyway, we’ll be educating you fit people at school to awaken their abilities in the direction of being ‘unsuitable’ for transplantation.”

“…What is that education?”

“I explained it grandiosely, but actually there’s not much difference from what you learned in college. To be honest, it’s just a matter of awakening your abilities without being contaminated by the red thread… Take it.”

“…?”

Min Ye-jin throws a smart band at herself out of the blue. Seong-il takes it and holds it in her hand, staring blankly at it.

“Wear it on your wrist.”

“Hmm…?”

In response, she didn’t send any negative sensations, so her seongil calmly puts on her bracelet as she said.

“…What?”

Then 4 sparks coming from the band.

“Huh? Didn’t you say you were a freshman in college?”

“Right?”

“…Looking at the lights coming into the band, you’re already close to a B-class hunter?!”

“Oh…”

Her own abilities higher than her thoughts. Min Ye-jin looks at her band and her seongil with a very surprised expression.

“Somehow… You cleared a level 7 dungeon solo. You… How the hell?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Hmm…”

Min Ye-jin carefully glaring at such a holy day. But, for a moment, she shrugs her shoulders.

“Well, you must have your own secrets too. I understand.”

“…You understand?”

“Yes. If you’re soloing a dungeon by yourself, you must have been taught an original training method we don’t know about by someone.”

“Aren’t you usually trying to pry for information in that case?”

“If I dig it, will you talk?”

“…”

“It’s okay. Surprisingly, it’s not uncommon to have a case with a secret like yours… Even though Ilax read your mind, if it went over, there must have been a convincing reason.”

“Hmm…”

Min Ye-jin, who unexpectedly passes it over without digging into the grounds for her excessively rapid growth. She seemed to trust the judgment of the alien Ilax, the leader of the Ark and a powerful psychic.

‘…As the Game Master advised, I hid the phone, so it seems Ilax didn’t read the proper information about me.’

However, she did not intend to reveal such information to her, so her Seong-il just quietly shuts her mouth and listens to her words.

“Well… Anyway, the school will try to train you as a fit until the band’s lights are 5 yellow. At 5 you’re free.”

“Four are B-grade, so five are A-grade? I get the number, but what color is it? Yellow?”

“Ah, yellow means uninfected. When infected, it turns red.”

“Ummm…”

The light of the band with a clear meaning. When her Sung-il seems to understand, Min Ye-jin continues her explanation.

“The second is helping us do ‘work’.”

“…What happened?”

“It’s about clearing the recently created dungeons installed underground in Seoul and destroying the dungeons.”

“…Why?”

“First of all, when you clear a dungeon, the awakening of your psychic powers naturally accelerates. As usual, you will awaken as a ‘suitable person’ at the same time… But the bracelet you put on has the effect of preventing that.”

“Hmm…”

“Utilizing the tricks of the aliens to make you grow into a non-conformist, of course, you will also protect the people suffering from the dungeon.”

Min Ye-jin’s words are understandable. However, the more she listens to her, the more she feels that there is something inconsistent about her sexuality.

“I don’t understand. Why the hell are you trying to awaken humans by pushing them into a ‘dungeon’? Isn’t it just a matter of remodeling?”

“Ah… That’s for a very complex reason.”

Min Ye-jin begins to explain the true identity of her dungeon to Seong-il, who questions her own words.
