Episode 23: New AbilitiesHow many times had she climaxed?
I hadn't bothered counting, so I didn't know.
I gazed at the midday sun.
It was already noon.
We'd started at dawn yesterday, so we'd been going at it nonstop for half a day.
"Ahh...Ugh...! Hahh..."
Seol-hwa had become a doll.
A doll that emitted the same moans when its button was pressed.
I tickled her anus with a tentacle.
"Hyaahk."
She spilled moans.
Love juice gushed out. It was stimulation no human could replicate.
A mere erect cock couldn't compete with my tentacles that could freely change form.
"Seol-hwa, it's time to lay eggs. Push with your stomach."
I lifted her up. Spread her legs. It was time to retrieve the eggs planted in her pussy.
"Uuungh...Ah...Huk..."
Seol-hwa, half-conscious, didn't understand my words.
"No choice then."
I pressed her lower abdomen.
"Haaaaaak!"
With a scream, the egg came out.
An egg matured inside her pussy for half a day.
It was fully cooked by body heat.
I peeled the shell and fed her the egg.
Like a baby bird, she accepted what I gave her.
"Delicious?"
"Yeeesss... Delicious... Master."
I fed her the whole egg. No seasoning needed.
The brief meal ended.
"Now let's start round two. A monster's stamina is limitless."
"Huek. Uuuegh."
I consumed her.
Covered her body with my Blood Shield and blocked her mouth with tentacles.
Only her nose remained exposed as I completely swallowed her.
"Uuuegh."
She struggled. The Blood Shield writhed.
"Ugghhblp!"
I stabbed a tentacle inside. She lost will to resist and quieted.
Only intermittent spasms and breathing proved she was alive.
I killed time by moving my tentacles.
'Evolution progress is crawling up.'
I checked my Status Window.
Evolution Level had reached 29.
The required amount increased with each level.
Progress slowed to a crawl.
With just Seol-hwa, I couldn't maintain previous speeds.
'Should I hunt one more?'
Another prey would accelerate leveling.
But it also increased exposure risk.
'No. Safety first.'
If discovered, I'd die.
This was certain. To humans, I was just a monster.
'Besides, playing with Seol-hwa is still fun.'
I didn't want extra prey complicating things.
I poured affection into my tentacles' movements.
A tentacle sucking breast milk clung to her chest.
Separate tentacles penetrated her urethra, anal passage, and mouth.
I altered their shapes at will.
When inflicting pain, I grew teeth on the chest tentacle.
The anal and pussy tentacles sprouted ridges.
I bit nipples with fangs and thrust ridged tentacles back and forth.
Finally, needle-tipped tentacles pierced her navel and clitoris.
Weakness Slime was injected through the tentacles.
"Uuuh. Uuuuuh. Uggghhk!"
Suppressed moans burst forth.
Evolution progress rapidly increased.
Satisfaction flooded me. Right-I'm a monster.
From the moment I became this, I ceased being human.
A monster using women as breeding grounds and tools.
I fully recognized my nature.
"Ah, I want to lay eggs."
I voiced my desire honestly.
I wanted to hatch real eggs in a woman's womb-not chicken eggs.
I wanted to see a beauty climax while laying eggs.
Perhaps deciding to become a monster made me honest with my desires.
"Will I gain egg-laying organs when I level up?"
Maybe. Leveling up might grant spawning organs.
'Wait... Wouldn't laying eggs make me female?'
I reconsidered. Unless there was another method.
I didn't want to become female as a monster.
"Fuck if I know. I'll think after leveling up."
Level 30 would bring answers.
To reach it, I needed to torment Seol-hwa harder.
"Uuegh. Uuuuuh."
Seol-hwa emitted beast-like moans.
Even those were muffled, not proper screams.
After one climax, she was dragged toward another.
No matter how many times she came, she got no rest.
An ordinary person would've broken long ago.
Her miraculously strong mental fortitude prevented complete collapse, but her body broke the moment she accepted me.
Transformed into a lewd body unsatisfied by normal cocks.
"Uuuuuuep!"
She climaxed again.
Much faster than before.
The drug's effects were working. Her climax intervals shortened over time.
'At this rate, I'll level up before today ends.'
I injected more whenever the drug weakened.
Maximum efficiency extracted.
I didn't worry about her dying.
Hunter bodies were durable. No risk of death from mere overexertion.
"Huuuh. Huuuuh."
"Hang in there, Seol-hwa. I'll let you rest properly before our next hunt."
I couldn't guess how she'd react when finally released.
"...Bored now."
Time passed.
The midday sun sank behind mountains.
Lunch was fridge scraps.
Dinner too.
Delivery would've been better, but funds were low.
"Ah, what about those things?"
I looked at the clones huddled in the corner.
Defective products without traits.
No reason to consume them, so they'd been shoved aside.
Dozens had been there, but some died-likely from malnutrition.
"Don't want to share my beauty with clones."
Clones inherited my traits.
Body metamorphosis abilities.
Even parasitic capabilities.
The crucial part was parasitism.
To utilize clones properly, they needed host bodies.
The problem was the parasitic aspect. Proper use required hosts.
I refused to share my precious beauty with mere clones.
But attaching them to random women felt wrong.
Too risky.
Could expose my existence.
I'd restrained hunting to reduce danger.
No need to risk everything for clones.
Chirp chirp.
Tap tap. Tap tap.
A sparrow landed by the window.
It pecked the glass, oblivious to the monster beyond.
"...Could I enter an animal's body?"
The thought struck me.
Parasitizing genitals wasn't mandatory.
Except for evolution and reproduction, genitals were unnecessary.
'But I need more than that. I lack means to control parasitized hosts.'
I could only share strength.
No power to forcibly move hosts.
"Uuuuuuep!"
[Evolution progress has reached maximum.]
[Level up conditions fulfilled.]
"But things might change now."
The new trait at Level 30 could be the breakthrough.
A strange déjà vu washed over me.
I shrank my body. Entered Seol-hwa's womb.
Lodged against the wall.
[Reached Level 30.]
[Gained Control and Protective Coloration.]
[Can now freely manipulate fully subdued prey.]
[Alters Blood Shield color to avoid suspicion.]
I cheered at the messages.
Exactly what I wanted.
Now I could utilize clones.
And I fully consumed Seol-hwa.
Black Blood Shield completely engulfed her.
I raised an arm. Seol-hwa's arm lifted.
Lowered legs off the bed. Her legs moved.
Raised the arm again.
Thread-thin tentacles extended toward the window.
Passed through narrow gaps.
Seized the oblivious sparrow.
Chirp!
It struggled. But capture sealed its fate.
Creak.
Opened the window. Secured the sparrow and summoned a clone.
"Consume it."
The clone obeyed. Devoured the sparrow's body.
Swallowed head first, then entire torso.
Chirp...chirp!
The convulsing sparrow suddenly revived.
Its Blood Shield now matched the sparrow's colors.
Even up close, you couldn't tell it was parasitized.
I released the sparrow outside.
Ordered it to fly as far as possible.
Information flowed in. Hazards ahead. Obstacles to avoid. Food sources.
Limited by the host's awareness, of course.
No descriptions of obstacles or dangerous entities.
Couldn't get detailed intel.
But it was more than enough.
'If I send this into the Hazard Zone...?'
It'd be like using a map hack.
Fragmentary intel still trumped ignorance.
I might finally see the end of the endless Paju Hazard Management Zone.
"Seol-hwa, we have work to do before time runs out."
"Ah."
"Let's make as many offspring as possible."
I planned to flood the Hazard Zone with offspring.
"Hyyyik! Aah? Nn...Aht!"
I focused on breeding. Then came hunting day.
