Following her was a bashful look. Saya expected what would happen to her, yet when it came down to it, she still struggled.

  Was it really all right to offer her body? Herself?

  Was it fine to throw away her remaining feelings to her childhood friend, Takashi?

  Was it fine…

  …

  The image of Eishi’s violet yet cool sughter fshed. The renewed sense of comfort they had inside this luxurious vil—whose heater is always turned on all day long—as well as the abundance of food and water.

  Had she gone and left without anything in hand, it is tantamount to suicide. Worse, it won’t be just her. Shizuka will follow suit, too.

  Moreover…

  Would Eishi let them go?

  Instead of gambling to these uncertainties, she pced her bets on what she saw.

  All of the women in this vil lived well. Coupled with Eishi’s “bottom line” still existing, she made a gamble. She wanted to be treated well—to gain power.

  A sliver of expectation and questioning also remained:

  Who is Eishi?

  Saya is bound to find out about it now.

  With trembling hands, she removed her shirt in one swift motion. Her breasts swayed exaggeratedly, revealing a huge pastel blue bra.

  ‘F-cup. That’s the ones for F-cups.’

  The women’s clothing and toiletries came from Eishi. That huge bra made a mark in his mind. He never expected he would see the day of it being worn.

  He sat on the bedside while watching her strip. Saya’s shameful look made it feel like she was being wronged. That, and the typical bckmail plot he had seen before.

  Soon, her body was presented in full view. Saya held her right arm with her left hand. Her gaze kept avoiding Eishi’s burning gaze. In the process of doing so, she scanned his handsome, chiseled face.

  In terms of appearances, he had all the rights in the world to become a pyboy. He is the most handsome man she had ever met. That was with her being the daughter of the City Mayor.

  Seeing Eishi unresponsive, Saya bit her lower lip. She swallowed a few breaths before walking towards him.

  Then, she sat on his right leg. The sweet fragrance coming from the shower gel and her bodily scent alike invaded Eishi’s nose. His right hand crept up to her waist, causing her to almost jump.

  Their faces are less than twelve inches apart.

  At the st moment, he paused. His pitch-bck irises stared teasingly beyond the girl’s gsses. His actions almost pissed Saya off.

  ‘This man… a teasing scumbag..!’

  She kept her comments to herself. Saya knew which point Eishi targeted. He wanted her to take the initiative.

  She gritted her teeth, her eyes staring tearfully at him, before she surrendered her first kiss.

  Warmth spread from her lips. Saya immersed herself in this feeling amidst her conflicting emotions.

  For some reason…

  She’s liking it..?

  Eishi’s perfected genes plus 2,000-point constitution made him a walking pheromone. Everyone who had a taste of him will change their minds one after another.

  Clearly, Saya was no exception.

  Her eyes widened as Eishi’s tongue slid inside her mouth. She instinctively wanted to push him away, yet her body said otherwise. She felt weak all over, as if she was ying in a sea of clouds. The subconscious movements of her hips never escaped Eishi’s sight.

  Five minutes ter, he let her go. Saya breathed from her mouth, almost suffocating from that grueling-yet-pleasurable experience.

  Unlike others, her physical body is at the level of average humans. He treated her while taking fragility in mind. He cannot be as reckless towards her as he does the others.

  “The st step remains. Can you… do it?”

  Saya looked towards the thick flesh rod that kept bumping on her left thigh. Her blush grew exaggeratedly. Her breaths turned heavier.

  With a weak nod, she stood up from his right leg. She took off her slightly wet underwear, revealing a faint patch of pink pubic hair above her pink slit. When it came to her triple-hooked bra, she had troubles.

  “Come.”

  Eishi brought his legs together before Saya straddled on top of them. He resolved her bra problem with his dexterous right hand.

  A pair of huge white rabbits, with a pair of strawberry-like nipples on top, shook in front of him.

  Saya stood up once more. Her fingers spread her pink slit open. Her eyes intently stared at his huge dick.

  Once the gns entered her insides, her legs grew weaker. She was forced to sit on his p.

  Psshk-!

  “Eek…”

  The tingling pain from her hymen being torn apart woke her up. Drops of blood spilled on Eishi’s dick.

  “Don’t move for a while. Tell me if the pain lessened to half. We can start by then.” He then added, “Waiting too much will only make it more painful.”

  Saya stared at Eishi with slight disbelief. She did not expect to receive such care from him.

  “If you really can’t do it, I can bring Mahiru here. Her superpower can heal wounds.”

  The thought of someone coming to her first time made her entire head buzz.

  “No, no. I can do it alone.”

  Fortunately, she withstood the pain test. Eishi started moving after her pain lessened by half.

  What came after was pleasure. Her inner folds clung closely to his rod. The electrifying sensation brought by these two scraping together made her already weak body, weaker.

  Although she straddled Eishi's p, it was he who made all the moves. She is basically a fish in a chopping block, maniputed at his will.

  Eishi did not compin. He was too busy pying with her breasts. He used his mouth to suck at one of them, with the other being fondled around by his left hand. The soft and estic sensation brought a fresh experience to him. Not even Haruno could match Saya’s body in terms of plumpness and maturity.

  ‘If it is the other Shizuka…’

  This thought made his thrusting speed faster. The sensation of Saya’s juicy thighs nding on his—her butt cheeks pressing ft on his leg—became more prominent.

  “Hey, hey, you can’t faint. You don’t want to get pregnant, don’t you?”

  Eishi saw Saya’s eyes in a semi-closed state. He had no choice but to sp her butt several times to wake her up.

  Still dazed, he brought the [Life Nurturing Pill] through his mouth. Only after seeing her swallow it did Eishi release all of his restrictions.

  All at once, his cum flooded her womb. He could not stop this three-minute long release. Eishi’s mind turned hazy as he buried his face on her cleavage, zily sniffing her bodily scent.

  By the time he snapped out of it, Saya’s head y slumped on his shoulder.

  “Oops.”

  It took a while to carry her to the bedside. It just so happened that Megumi was wide awake.

  Seeing the busty pink-haired girl made her jump out of the bed.

  ‘Cute. How cute…’

  “E-eishi-kun. I-I should…”

  “No hurry. She’s still an ordinary human. She’ll remain asleep, not to mention… you can use your ability, no?”

  Megumi’s broken talent slowly turned into one for her and Eishi’s depravity…

  *****

  ‘She’s meant to be bullied…’

  Eishi did not bother carrying Saya to her bedroom. He screwed Megumi right beside her. The tter desperately activated her innate talent to hide everything. Even when she fainted, it became active.

  The two beauties slept beside Eishi.

  Thinking of the life he is living now, he had to agree on one thing.

  ‘The apocalypse is good.’

  No matter what, he cannot lie to himself. How could there be beautiful girls left and right willing to share him with others?

  In normal society, it is not acceptable. The apocalypse is both a force of nature, and at the same time, an opportunity to reshuffle the social csses.

  The ones standing above won’t be the richest nor the most authoritative, but the strongest espers.

  This was precisely why he decided to take in survivors. Be it finding confidantes that will fit the system’s evaluation, new variants of evolution fruits, or information about strong mutated zombies, it will require more manpower.

  Eishi kept these thoughts to himself before checking his ‘haul’ tonight.

  [Successfully bound SSS rated Confidante. First-time reward: Quantum Computer, Spatial Backpack Storage +100,000 cubic meters.]

  [SSS rated Bond ‘Swift Runner’ has been unlocked.]

  [Milestone successfully reached. Reward: Spatial Backpack Storage +500,000 cubic meters, Favorability Lock has been unlocked.]

  [Successfully bound SSS rated Confidante. First-time reward: Origin Swallowing Method (Fourth Rank), Spatial Backpack Storage +200,000 cubic meters.]

  [SSS rated Bond ‘Study Expert’ has been unlocked.]

  ‘Milestone… because Megumi is the fifth one? Then there should be one for the tenth, fifteenth, and twentieth…’

  Eishi stared at his confidante list.

  [Bound Confidantes (6/11)]

  -Airi Akizuki (SSS)

  -Haruno Yukinoshita (SSS)

  -Mahiru Shiina (SSS)

  -Saeko Busujima (SSS)

  -Megumi Kato (SSS)

  -Saya Takagi (SSS)

  From the previous ten, one more slot was added. He presumed it was added by him going from the first to second-order. This made each slot more precious, to which he intended to fill them all with SSS-rated confidantes.

  ‘Heroines from various ACGs. The rest of the women in this world are roughly the same as my previous life’s. Those heroines definitely stand out amongst them…’

  This world is a mix of his previous life and various ACGs. The most beautiful women here are not the ‘ordinary’ ones, but these ‘heroines’. Their appearance, temperament, and figure are all a step above normal women.

  His attention went towards the two new Buffs.

  [Swift Runner]

  Base Effect: User’s agility permanently increases by 3 times.

  Group Effect: Running speed is amplified by 300%.

  The first one took effect in the form of a deep massage. Eishi felt his entire body tremble as these changes came. When it ended, his body coordination broke through the roof. He could ‘will’ his heart to beat faster or slower. The same goes to the rest of his body.

  If he happens to be wounded, he can urge his body to focus its resources (i.e., nutrients) on healing.

  Such metaphysical effects actually happened in real life.

  The first thing he did was to reduce his hormonal production reted to sexual urges, weakening it by half.

  ‘Agility has this effect too…’

  Still dumbfounded, Eishi went to the next Buff.

  [Study Expert]

  Base Effect: User’s overall comprehension is increased by 3 times.

  Group Effect: Comprehension reted to studying is increased by 300%.

  ‘...’

  He was speechless. [Study Expert] shook him greatly. With its effects, plus the [Martial Master]’s amplification of three times, his total comprehension is amplified nine times.

  ‘I made the right decision.’

  The rest of the rewards only reinforced this thought.

  [Quantum Computer]

  Details: A supercomputer built in the far future. Its conductors are made using special materials, granting it immense computational abilities.

  The other reward was a system function. The so-called [Favorability Lock] freezes a confidante’s favorability once it is 90%. Their ‘loyalties’ at this point can only go higher, not lower.

  Eishi didn’t feel much about it. Raising their favorability to 90% meant they deeply trusted him. It’s simply a function that allows for no refunds.

  [Origin Swallowing Method (Fourth Rank)]

  Details: A meridian map drawn by human predecessors. Enables the consolidation of the inner core and active absorption of genetic energy present in the atmosphere.

  Eishi has nothing to say on the first two rewards. It was the st one that made him the most speechless.

  ‘Wuxia? Murim? Cultivation?’

  He almost ughed with an ‘I knew it’ look. The non-stop snowing is a pattern from spiritual energy recovery apocalypses. What follows it is the existence of strengthened animals.

  The thought of it chilled his heart.

  Yokohama is a port city. Sea animals take up the majority of the world’s animal popution. Just imagining countless sea lifeforms attacking from the shore gave Eishi a sense of crisis.

  The only thing that can reassure him now is strength.

  [Eishi Hiraoka]

  Innate Talent: Time Dominator (SSS, Second-order)

  Non-exclusive Talent: Spatial Backpack (1,110,000 Cubic Meters), Constitution Boost (S, Second-order), Weak Electricity (A, First-order)

  Life Level: Second-order, One-star

  Strength: 328 (426)

  Agility: 323 (1,066)

  Constitution: 624 (2,059)

  Spirit: 720 (936)

  As expected, the 3.3x boost in agility took effect. It is the second attribute to reach the thousandth-mark. The difference between three digits and four digits is a world apart. If he was arrogant enough, he could have procimed himself the strongest human.

  The crises he foresaw, however, made him more steady.

  He quietly sat up on the bed, moving away from the girls’ embrace. Eishi took out the [Origin Swallowing Method].

  Pop.

  A hardcover blue leather book fell to his palm. He opened to its first page, expecting a series of vague and imaginative phrases. Eishi did not expect for it to be so… scientific.

  [The human body is limited by the potential unleashed by the genetic structure. In normal cases, energy consumption and exertion can be done through eating and movement, respectively. The first project to unlock the gene’s potential led to the discovery of a brand new energy suitable for human consumption…]

  The first few pages are the introduction. It tells the general trajectory of the genetic energy’s discovery.

  Humans are inherently weak, but at the same time, it is their evolution of billions of years that shaped a unique genetic structure. Once it comes in contact with the so-called genetic energy, it undergoes a lengthy period of adaptation. The energy cuts down the billions of years into a few hours.

  At that time, humans awaken a ‘superpower’ and become first-order lifeforms. Their most basic functions face an exaggerated increase. Their bone and muscle structure gradually gain toughness comparable to stone and steel. The higher the increase, the more indestructible one’s body becomes.

  Unfortunately, this “method” only leads up to the fourth-order. It is based on medical theories revolving on ‘meridians’ and the use of uniquely-made medicines to boost one’s power further. The usage of mental images becomes extremely crucial to its success.

  For every “order” ascended, the lifeform experiences a massive transformation. The second-order is reted to the transformation of the skin and muscles. They can now ‘store’ genetic energy, enabling the use of the body’s enhanced electromagnetic field. The third-order is the same, but with organs, bones, and bone marrow.

  Eishi stopped on the ‘superpower’ part for a while.

  ‘They say that humans create an ability to respond to changes… but my system’s scans show it is present even before evolution. This part must be wrong…’

  He shook his head. The rest of the technique corresponded with what he learned, especially the mental images part.

  Eishi decided to try it out. It is retively simple. All he needs to accomplish is to create a mental image of the body’s meridians. The more complete it is, the greater the effect. The next step is to envision oneself as a ‘funnel’ for the genetic energy in the atmosphere. Finally, he has to lead all of them to his skin and muscles, and then to the milky core in his head.

  The upgrade steps are clear, scientific, and concise.

  ‘Thank goodness it’s not the philosophical ones…’
