Chapter 3
Chapter 3
“Whew! I really thought I was going to die.”
I ran with all my might after escaping the hideout.
Fortunately, the place I jumped from wasn’t high enough to kill me.
It feels like I’m limping a little, but…
I survived. Cheers to that!
The Dark Knights’ hideout was a converted abandoned factory on the outskirts of S City.
It would take quite a while to walk back to the city center where my apartment is.
“Oh.”
I tried to flag down a taxi and happened to catch a glimpse of my reflection in a roadside mirror…
I looked no different from the villain photos you see in the news.
The problem is that I’m only wearing a tank top and underwear inside this villain suit.
But isn’t it better to walk around in just my underwear than to get caught as a villain?
Or maybe I should just tell people I’m filming a hero promotion video or something?
While I was pondering, a good idea popped into my head.
“This should be better than the other two options, at least.”
I took off my mask and tore the suit into separate top and bottom pieces.
Now I looked like I was just wearing leggings and a tank top.
—
“Thank you! Goodbye!”
“Be careful on your way. It’s cold out.”
Fortunately, I managed to get back to my apartment without any trouble.
Though the look of pity the taxi driver gave me lingered in my mind a bit.
“I never thought I’d come home like this.”
The apartment I hadn’t been to in months was really quiet and empty.
I only rented this place to rest and sleep during the rare vacations I got,
So all I had was a few sets of clothes, a computer, a bed, and a fridge.
“Is this all a dream?”
The events of the past few hours were truly a series of unbelievable coincidences.
It was an oddity in itself that the heroes launched a surprise attack, something that had never happened in years.
There must be hundreds of villain organizations operating in this city, which has the highest population in Korea,
But of all places, they attacked our organization.
And when I went to ask for support, the commander and the leader had already fled…
It wouldn’t have been surprising if I’d been captured or killed on the spot.
But thanks to the jewel I picked up in the command room, I gained something resembling a superpower,
And I even managed to neutralize an A-class hero with that ability.
“Status… Status window!”
I tried shouting ‘status window!’ like in a manga, hoping to bring up the screen I saw earlier.
— Voom—
“Oh! It really works. Amazing.”
The screen, similar to the one I saw before, appeared in front of me.
[ Welcome, owner of the
[ There are no Imprint targets nearby that can be commanded. ]
[ Current Imprint Target: Yoon Do-hwa (Stage 1 – 13%) ]
[ < Locked > ]
Corruption is an English word that means ‘corruption,’ and ‘system’ means a mechanism that carries out my commands as the owner.
The main screen shows nearby targets that can be commanded or existing imprinted targets.
“What’s that ‘Locked’ item? Feels like it’s not unlocked yet.”
[ The
Looking at Yoon Do-hwa in the Imprint Target list, I saw the information I had seen before,
And there was a ‘Locked’ item, suggesting that there are additional features to unlock as I use the ability more.
I’m curious to see what else this power can do.
What other things will become possible if I fill up the corruption rate and level up the Imprint?
I’ve been relying on my physical strength alone for years, without any abilities.
I decided to think of this ability as a gift from some god with a quirky sense of humor.
The condition of requiring physical contact is both simple and tricky,
But with someone strong like Yoon Do-hwa, I could make it work.
Now that the Dark Knights are in shambles,
I might as well take this opportunity to try going solo.
—
It’s been a long time since I had a really satisfying sleep.
“How many hours did I sleep?”
If I remember correctly, the hero attack happened around 5 a.m.
I got home just before 7 a.m.
I’ve rarely had days where I slept more than six hours, so I was always sleep-deprived.
But now I don’t think that will be a problem anymore, which is quite satisfying.
“It’s not 6 p.m. yet…”
I had told Yoon Do-hwa to meet me at the back gate of Seongnam University at 6 p.m.
There were still about ten minutes left.
“What should I wear? Maybe I should just go out in whatever.”
Since I started living on my own, I’ve spent most of my time at the hideout,
So I didn’t have many clothes suitable for going out.
Before I joined the Dark Knights, I used to hang out with friends often,
But while I was struggling as a low-level combatant, they had already become respectable members of society.
So unless it was during the rare vacations, we hardly ever met,
And lately, we’ve barely been in contact.
“I wonder what everyone is up to. Should I get in touch since I’m out?”
I put on the most decent outfit I had, a black hoodie and some slacks, and left the house.
—
In front of a convenience store near the back gate of Seongnam University.
It was also the university I attended for a short while before joining the Dark Knights.
I went there for about a year, using it as an excuse to my parents for coming to the city, then dropped out.
“Why isn’t she here?”
I glanced around, but Yoon Do-hwa was nowhere to be seen, even though it was 6 p.m.
“…Hey.”
Someone poked me in the back.
“You’re here? Hero ‘Ignition’?”
“Shh! I came all the way here because of what you said!”
Hero ‘Ignition’ stood there in a white T-shirt, jeans, and a cap pulled down low.
She was probably trying to hide her identity as a hero in such a crowded place.
“You should’ve dressed up a bit more nicely. Follow me.”
“Ugh! My body… it’s moving on its own again…!”
It’s still a bit awkward to try something like that in such a public place, right?
“How about here?”
I led her to a narrow alley between two buildings near the back gate, with a ‘For Rent’ sign on them.
A few steps closer and you can see the road where people pass by, but it’s a place that is not easily visible from the outside due to its narrowness and darkness.
When I was in college, my friends and I used to joke that a ghost might appear when we passed through this alley.
“What… what are you planning to do with me!”
“What, ugh! Were you planning to say something like, ‘Just kill me!’?”
“K-kill… killing me…”
“I’m not going to kill you. That would be a waste, don’t you think? Besides, I don’t even have the strength to do that.”
It was the truth.
After being kicked last time, I realized that pure physical ability alone was overwhelming.
So, I’m going to use a more cowardly and despicable tactic.
[Target: Apply ‘Ignition’ to Yoon Do-hwa.]
“Huh?!”
When the arousal command was applied to her, she suddenly bent over and lowered her head.
“Why are you acting like that all of a sudden?”
“Ah… It’s nothing!”
When I lifted Yoon Do-hwa’s chin, her flustered and flushed face came into view.
“Could it be that you’re getting excited thinking I’m going to do something inappropriate to you here?”
“Of course not! I’m not a pervert like you!”
Although her body trembled slightly as she stood there nervously, making it clear she was aroused, the way she tried so hard to hide it was kind of cute.
“Hoo… I’m seriously going to kill you…!”
I was curious about the intensity of her arousal, so I pressed down on her right breast, the one I touched last time.
“Hiyah?!”
A cute moan, completely contrasting with her threats to kill me, escaped her lips.
“Pfft…”
“…Huff…”
Due to the arousal, her body temperature rose, and sweat gradually soaked her body, making her light blue underwear visible beneath her white t-shirt.
“Don’t look…!”
Ignoring Yoon Do-hwa’s plea not to look, I took off her sweat-soaked t-shirt.
A sky-blue lace bra barely holding onto her quivering breasts.
A few drops of sweat trickling down between her cleavage.
And the fragrant scent wafting from there.
“You perverted bastard…!”
“It seems like you still haven’t grasped the situation.”
“What?”
It’s time to make Yoon Do-hwa fully aware of her predicament.
“What do you think will happen if I just push you outside like this?”
“Like this… in just my underwear…? No, that can’t happen!”
“If you don’t want that to happen, you better start speaking nicely. Do you understand?”
No matter how much I fantasized about this kind of situation, it doesn’t feel good to hear things like ‘perverted bastard’ or ‘I’m going to kill you.’
She needs to understand that she is not the A-rank hero Ignition right now.
Right now, she’s just prey in front of a strong male.
“Did you get that?”
“I… I won’t… I won’t do that…”
With a truly frightened expression, she changes her tone of voice.
I tore off the bra of the now slightly more submissive Yoon Do-hwa.
Big.
When it was hidden under her bra and t-shirt, I thought it was about a C-cup.
But now that all those barriers have been removed, I see something that far exceeds my expectations.
The sweat that was flowing between her breasts drips down from her pink nipples.
Just like morning dew dropping from a leaf.
“Aahh… It hurts…!”
I pinch her nipples between my index and middle fingers and squeeze and knead her breasts, gently stimulating her nipples by moving my fingers.
Despite leading such a rough life as a hero, it seems she took good care of her skin, as it is soft, smooth, and pure white.
– *Sshht-♥*
“Aahh?!♥”
After a few seconds of massaging her breasts, she seems to climax suddenly, her legs trembling uncontrollably.
“I can’t hold back anymore.”
That expression, with her mouth slightly open, tongue sticking out, and her body twitching.
How could anyone resist taking her in after seeing a face like that?
I won’t hold back.
There’s no need to, right?
