Chapter 48

The ‘Self-Maintenance’ skill required 50 points for each material.
I currently had 200 points, earned from one main quest and two side quests.
‘So, I can buy two materials and that’s it…’
The crystals sold in the shop cost 100 points each.
Considering the points needed to buy another crystal, I could currently afford two materials.
‘In that case…’
I first purchased one material from the shop window.
It was the ‘Lightning Wolf’s Heart.’
━*Ding*
[You have purchased ‘Lightning Wolf’s Heart.’]
‘Can’t I take it out?’
Although I bought the material, the actual item didn’t appear before me.
Instead, only the purchase completion message popped up.
Since there wasn’t anything like an inventory, I pondered, resting my chin on my hand, and opened the quest window again.
The survival quest.
Fortunately, as I’d thought, a ‘Complete’ button had newly appeared next to the ‘Power’ section of the survival quest.
Smiling at the smooth progress, I pressed the button without hesitation.
━*Jiiiing!*
A strong light momentarily burst from the crystal floating before me.
Like a flare, the light emanating from the crystal instantly illuminated the entire food court.
The blinding light subsided a few seconds later as if nothing had happened.
━*Crackle, sizzle.*
Then, a strange spark, like an electrical current, began to flicker within the crystal.
━*Ding*
[‘Power’ activation complete. Would you like to activate various facilities?]
Slightly bewildered by the progressing ‘Self-Maintenance’ system, I pressed the [Yes] button.
Then…
*Woooong.*
*Ding, ding, ding.*
In the vast food court, which had only echoed with the shuffling sounds of zombies…
Traces of modern human civilization revealed their existence after a long time.
Edison’s masterpiece, the electric light, illuminated the entire basement first floor.
The bright appearance of the department store, which I had taken for granted before the zombie outbreak, returned.
And Harrison’s gift to humanity, the department store food court’s massive refrigeration system, began to operate again.
Cool air flowed from several open refrigerators, giving me goosebumps.
“This is… truly a miracle.”
I muttered to myself unconsciously, looking around the revitalized basement first floor.
The facilities that had died after humanity’s demise had certainly been revived.
Except for the zombies crowding around, it was no different from before the zombie outbreak.
A strangely heartwarming feeling bloomed in my chest.
‘This isn’t the time to be sentimental.’
After confirming the effects of the base skill ‘Self-Maintenance,’ I immediately went up to the third floor.
“Huh? Ahjussi? Weren’t you out?”
Upon reaching the third floor, I encountered Yoo Ha-yeon, who was cleaning our living space.
A completely different scene from the basement first floor.
A gloomy space, dimly lit by makeshift lighting.
Perhaps because I had just been in a brightly lit place, I felt that this environment was too poor for my women.
“I brought a present.”
“A present?”
“What is it?”
At my words, Yoo Ha-yeon, who was mopping the floor, and Ryu Da-hee, who was lying on a nearby sofa, looked at me curiously.
Lee Ah-rin, who was playing a game, Oh Na-yeon preparing food, and Han Mo-ah also simultaneously directed their gazes at me.
Thinking it would be better to show them directly rather than explain, I silently opened the shop window.
What I purchased was, of course, a new crystal.
“Wow… amazing.”
“Is this the present?”
“It’s floating in the air?”
Everyone approached with curious eyes at the mystical sight of a heavy object floating in mid-air.
“Stay back for a moment. It could be dangerous.”
“Eek, S-Savior… Why would you bring such a thing here…?”
At my warning, Lee Ah-rin quickly hid behind Yoo Ha-yeon, looking terrified.
I then cautioned the women to keep their distance and immediately went out to the third-floor parking lot, bringing back a few zombies.
Everyone was startled and looked at me with fear when zombies suddenly entered our living space.
But that was only for a moment. Without a word, I headed towards the crystal.
Then, one by one, I fed the zombies to the crystal, completing the third-floor crystal’s quest.
━*Ding.*
[Due to the increase in base level, you can acquire a base skill. Please select one.]
The skill for the third floor, the second base, had been activated.
As expected, the base level and skills weren’t shared with the basement first floor.
It would have been nice if they were shared.
But that would be too convenient.
I chose ‘Self-Maintenance’ among the three skills.
Then, I purchased the ‘Undine’s Spirit Stone,’ the ‘Plumbing’ restoration material, from the shop window and activated it in the crystal.
“Kyaaah!”
“H-H-It’s so bright!”
Just like in the basement first floor, an incredibly bright light enveloped the entire third floor.
After the light subsided, a bubbling water effect appeared within the crystal.
“It’s done now. Let’s all go to the bathroom.”
“…The bathroom?”
I looked at the women with a satisfied smile.
They all tilted their heads, their faces full of questions.
However, their questions vanished when we arrived at the third-floor bathroom a short while later.
*Shwaaaaa!*
Everyone’s eyes widened as they stared at the clear water gushing from the faucet.
“It’s clean… How did this happen?”
“O-Oppa…! What is this…!”
“Could it be… Savior…!”
Lee Ah-rin, the quickest-witted among the women, tugged on my sleeve with sparkling eyes.
She hopped with excitement, like a child who had just received the birthday present they wanted.
“Can we use clean water freely now?!”
At Lee Ah-rin’s exclamation, the other women also looked at me with surprise, awaiting my answer.
I replied with a smug grin.
“That’s right. Now you can shower and do the dishes comfortably, just like before. And also…”
“A-And also…”
*Gulp.*
They all clenched their hands, anticipating my next words.
“Although we have to draw it from downstairs, you can also use electricity freely.”
At my following words, everyone gasped, their shoulders trembling with astonishment.
The most excited, of course, was Lee Ah-rin.
“E-E-Electricity…!”
Until just recently, she had been using electricity generated by solar panels at her home.
So, she was the one who longed for electricity the most.
“Yahoo━!!!”
Unable to contain her joy, she jumped into my arms.
Starting with her shout, the other women, who had been frozen, also began to chatter excitedly, their desires ignited.
“S-So, we can use warm water freely now?!”
“If the water works, doesn’t that mean the toilets work too?!”
“Let’s make a bathtub! Since it’s a department store, the bathroom is spacious! Let’s make a huge bathtub!”
Until now, the women had been inconvenienced, boiling water collected from the food court and using it to wash.
But now, clean water flowed freely, and electricity was available.
Making a hot water bathtub wasn’t impossible.
Their excitement was short-lived.
“But how do we make a bathtub?”
Excited about the prospect of a comfortable and pleasant life, they fell silent, faced with the immediate problem.
A bathtub.
It was easier said than done, as they had no knowledge of how to build one.
Consequently, my women stared blankly at me.
They seemed to be looking at me expectantly, waiting for an answer.
‘Ah… I don’t know that either.’
Feeling sorry for disappointing them, I subtly avoided their gazes and scratched my cheek.
“I can do that━!”
A confident voice unexpectedly rang out.
It was Lee Ah-rin.
Unlike the other women who had quieted down due to the problem, she still had her hand raised, her eyes sparkling.
I asked her in a questioning voice,
“Can you do it?”
“Yes! When I thought about how to make a bathtub, I suddenly understood the methods in detail!”
Simultaneously with her confident voice…
━*Ding.*
[‘Lee Ah-rin’ uses the trait ‘Wikipedia.’]
The system message appearing before my eyes explained why she was so confident.
‘So that was her skill.’
Unlike Ryu Da-hee’s invisibility, which I could confirm visually, I couldn’t figure out how to use Lee Ah-rin’s trait, no matter how hard I tried.
But through this unexpected event, she had learned how to use her trait.
Excited by the flashing knowledge, Lee Ah-rin quickly pulled out a notepad from her pocket and began writing something non-stop.
She then respectfully handed me the quickly written list, her eyes sparkling.
“Savior! If you don’t mind, could you get these…!”
She was asking me to get them.
They were probably the materials needed for the bathtub construction.
A chuckle escaped my lips. I took the memo, checked the contents, and nodded.
Then, I stroked Lee Ah-rin’s head and kissed her cheek.
“Good job, you’re truly my woman.”
“E-Ehehe…”
Lee Ah-rin, who had been excited, suddenly became quiet, blushing as she glanced at me.
Then she snuggled into my arms, rubbing her face against me.
“Savior is the best! I’m so happy! I thought it was Christmas today!”
She acted coy in my arms, filled with the joy of being able to use the desired facilities and the joy of being praised by me.
The way she subtly touched my body felt like a seduction, so I tightly gripped her buttocks.
“H-Hngh…!”
Lee Ah-rin let out a suggestive moan and blushed at the pain in her buttocks.
“U-Um, Savior…”
“Yes? Why?”
“I-I have one more favor to ask…”
With a seemingly switched-on expression, she hesitated, her lips twitching.
She gently rolled her hand on my chest, tickling me.
“Since I did a good job… I was wondering if you could give me a reward.”
“A reward…”
“Yes, w-well, you’ve been busy lately… and we haven’t done it often…”
Lee Ah-rin, whose breathing had become ragged, hesitated as if embarrassed to say it.
But I could immediately tell what she wanted from her breasts rubbing against my body and her twitching thighs.
I grinned and lifted her into my arms.
“We’ll do it until you pass out today, and then you’ll have to work hard starting tomorrow, okay?”
“Y-Yes…! I’ll work hard!”
Already seemingly excited at the prospect of being embraced, Lee Ah-rin snuggled into my arms and pecked my neck with her lips.
“Ah━! W-We promised to do it next after Mo-ah!”
“Ooh, I’m envious of Ah-rin unnie.”
“…I-I don’t mind doing it whenever Seo-ho wants…”
“Oppa, we haven’t done it often lately either…”
The four other women began to grumble, looking enviously at Lee Ah-rin in my arms.
‘I’d like to do it with them if they want, but…’
If I gave in to their requests every time, it would feel like the power dynamic was reversed.
They were my possessions, after all.
Therefore, whether to embrace them or not was my prerogative and a reward I gave them.
I grinned and lightly pinched Lee Ah-rin’s thigh, who was in my arms.
A lewd moan escaped from Lee Ah-rin, who had been kissing my neck.
“If you’re envious, do as well as Ah-rin. Then I’ll give you a reward anytime.”
Leaving the other women empty-handed, I carried Lee Ah-rin to the bed and filled her womb with my semen as much as she desired.
“Hnghhh━! Good…! Savior’s dick…! It’s been a while, hngh…! The best…!!♥ Haaang…!♥”
*Squish, squish, squish━!!*
The moment I threw her on the bed and took off her pants, Lee Ah-rin’s pussy was already soaked. I didn’t wait and immediately thrust my erect penis inside.
Her pussy, drenched in fluids, swallowed my large penis in an instant.
After that, only Lee Ah-rin’s rough moans, the sound of me slapping her buttocks, and the squelching of her fluids echoed throughout the third floor.
*Squish, squish, squish.*
“Hahngggggg♥”
Lee Ah-rin, lying face down on the bed, hugged the pillow tightly and moaned loudly.
。 。 。
Two days had passed since Chae Su-ah was dragged to the second floor of the department store.
Today, too, she spent the day shivering naked on the cold sofa.
But right now, the cold wasn’t her concern.
One night.
After this one night passed and the sun rose…
The terrifying time that came without fail was her greatest fear.
“Oh, you’re awake?”
“H-H-Hiek…! Seo-ho…”
Chae Su-ah had been lying on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling with dead eyes and shedding tears, when she abruptly sat up at the sudden voice.
Unlike Lee Seo-ho, who was approaching with a smile, Chae Su-ah’s face turned pale the moment she heard his voice.
“Now, you have to eat a lot today, too, right?”
In front of him was a large cart, just like yesterday.
She knew what was under the cloth covering the cart’s contents without even looking.
“Ugh…!”
Just looking at it made Chae Su-ah feel like she would vomit the food she had been forced to eat yesterday.
She covered her mouth, barely suppressing her nausea.
Crawling on the floor, she reached Lee Seo-ho’s feet in front of the cart, grabbed his pants leg, and pleaded.
“S-Seo-ho…! I-I haven’t even digested what I ate yesterday…! Sob, please, please just let me off today? I-Sob, I really can’t do this anymore…! Sob, sob.”
She looked up at him with desperate eyes, tears streaming down her face.
Unable to contain her surging emotions, she leaned against his leg and began to sob.
“Really, sob, I really… if it’s not about eating, sob, I’ll really do anything you say, Seo-ho…. So, so…”
She let go of his clothes and wrapped both arms tightly around his leg.
Chae Su-ah’s soft and warm skin pressed directly against Lee Seo-ho’s thighs and calves.
“I can’t do this anymore… Sob, really, I really can’t… Sob, sob.”
Chae Su-ah began to wail like a child.
She was truly at her limit.
Not only was the food forced down her throat, but the terrifying future of becoming a human pig due to the constant eating.
The agony of unending food, even when her stomach was full.
And finally, the despairing reality that this torture would repeat tomorrow.
All of this was about to break Chae Su-ah’s spirit.
Therefore, she desperately pleaded with him.
The only person who could end this suffering was Lee Seo-ho.
“Anything?”
Lee Seo-ho grinned, satisfied at the sight of the broken Chae Su-ah.
He released Chae Su-ah, who was clinging to his leg, then crouched down to meet her eyes.
He roughly grabbed Chae Su-ah’s naked breasts.
“Hngh…!”
*Squeeze, squeeze.*
He playfully kneaded her soft, supple breasts and plump nipples as if they were toys, and a pleasant moan escaped Chae Su-ah’s lips.
With his free hand, Lee Seo-ho grabbed Chae Su-ah’s cheek and lifted her face to meet his gaze.
“Can you really do anything?”
Lee Seo-ho asked the terrified Chae Su-ah in a cheerful tone, and Chae Su-ah, unable to endure the agony of this forced feeding any longer…
With empty eyes filled with despair and tears streaming down her face, she answered,
“…Yes. I’ll really do anything.”
