Vol 1 Ch 9

‘Ah, I wish every day were like today.’

 

Evening. I got on the bus home, feeling it was a productive day. Fortunately, a seat became available on the bus, and I happily hummed a tune internally while looking out the car window. Just then, I felt a vibration from my pocket and saw a message from ShutUp.

 

[When are you coming? My gauge is full]

 

Gasp! What should I do?

 

For two stops, I couldn’t reply, lost in thought.

 

‘Ah, what should I say?’

 

If I hadn’t learned the Relax skill, I would have just brazened it out, but having received an expensive item, I was essentially betraying him. Moreover, I hadn’t linked with him yesterday, so ShutUp’s PG must have accumulated a lot.

 

For now, I decided to lie.

 

[Sorry. I can’t log in because work is running late]

 

As soon as I sent the message, a reply came back instantly.

 

[Call me when you’re done]

 

ShutUp, whom I thought would let it go, was persistently pursuing it.

 

“Men who are clingy aren’t popular. You don’t know anything.”

 

I muttered while looking at my phone, when I felt a gaze from somewhere. I casually glanced up and saw an old man staring down at me with narrowed eyes.

 

“Sir, please have a seat here.”

 

It wasn’t the senior citizen seat, but since our eyes met, it was hard to ignore him. The old man sat down as if it were natural and cleared his throat. Looking behind me, the seats were already full. Since it was only a few more stops, I decided to just stand in front of him.

 

Just then. My pocket vibrated again. I thought it was a message and left it, but it kept vibrating, so it must have been a call. As it was my stop, I ignored it and got off the bus, and only then did my phone become quiet.

 

[Mouth] Missed call

 

As expected, [Mouth] was displayed for the missed call. I wondered what lie to tell, but then decided to just ignore it and close my eyes.

 

I couldn’t possibly pay 100,000 won for a paid item just to satisfy ShutUp’s mouth. His PG would decrease somewhat after a few hours, so I should advise him to take a break from hunting.

 

However, the newbie who had just started Blood Planet didn’t know something…

 

Blood Planet, where PK was rampant, wasn’t just for monster hunting. If someone attacked you while you were just standing there, you had to respond. And if you were in faint mode due to PG or GG consumption during PK, the user would be disconnected, but the character would remain and be beaten up.

 

And that peaceful and fulfilling evening.

 

Who would have thought that trouble would erupt.

 

–

 

As soon as I arrived home, I washed up and was idly watching TV. I picked up the remote, thinking I might pay for a movie, when my phone, placed beside me, rang.

 

It was a call from Hanwoo.

 

“Yeah. What?”

 

I answered the phone while staring at the TV screen, choosing a newly released movie. Several highly-rated movies had been updated. Oh, that looks fun, I thought, and as I was about to press the payment button, Hanwoo brought up ShutUp on the other end of the line.

 

I was listening vaguely, then asked, “What?”

 

[No, ShutUp fought with some S-rank player! And, did you play the game this morning?]

 

“…This morning?”

 

A chill ran down my spine. The only thing I did this morning was get carried by some weird guy and link…

 

[They’re saying everyone’s going to watch because S-rank players are PK-ing. Hey, why is your name showing up on the global chat and everyone’s giggling.]

 

“Ah, shit. Crazy!”

 

[Did you link with someone else? ShutUp seems really pissed off because of that.]

 

Hanwoo hung up, saying, “I’m going to watch.” As expected, messages from ShutUp started coming in.

 

[Get in here right now — 19:31]

 

[Get in here before I expose your number as someone who only links with men — 19:32]

 

I looked around the ceiling, as if someone had installed a camera in my house. Of course, that wasn’t the case… He must have talked to Moment.

 

[10 minutes — 19:33]

 

If the number ShutUp messaged me from was for real estate sales, I could just tell him to hang up and get a new number, but we had exchanged messages using my personal number.

 

Why on earth did I add ShutUp using my personal number when I was out of my mind? If I change this, I’ll have to change my bank information and contact my mom and friends, which is complicated. Foolishly, I exchanged messages with him using my usual number… I wrung my hands for a moment and calmly replied.

 

[I can’t log in because I’m fainted ㅠ — 19:36]

 

[6 minutes — 19:37]

 

“Ah! What do you want me to do, ah!!”

 

There might be real friends in Blood Planet, and maybe even relatives or acquaintances. It’s a number I’ve used for over 10 years. I had to prevent my personal number from being leaked. So, I had no choice but to buy a 100,000 won paid item and log in. Every second felt like a minute as I clicked the payment button.

 

[I’m paying for the paid item now, wait — 19:41]

 

[1 minute — 19:42]

 

As soon as I bought the paid item, I used it in the character login screen. The remaining wait time disappeared, and the login button became active.

 

<<Welcome to Blood Planet.>>

 

<<Moving to the last login point.>>

 

After logging in, I touched ShutUp twice, and warped to his location. Upon arrival, I looked around and saw a small cabin. There stood Moment, whom I had been with that morning, and his partner, ShutUp, side-by-side.

 

“Oh? Gentle!”

 

Moment called out to me affectionately and started to approach, but ShutUp pushed him away. Moment slumped onto a nearby chair weakly.

 

ShutUp came straight towards me and grabbed my collar with one hand. In an instant, my body was yanked forward like a sheet of paper, and a blue glint was shining fiercely right in front of my face.

 

‘I feel like I’m going to be electrocuted…’

 

‘You betrayed me?’

 

‘Oh, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I just thought you might be tired… He said he’d help with the buff… I didn’t want to either!’

 

‘That’s not what I heard. They say you kissed him a lot. A lot.’

 

‘What kiss…’

 

Moment, whom I managed to turn my head to see, smiled contentedly and blew me a kiss.

 

‘Ugh.’

 

Looking up, ShutUp seemed to have seen Moment’s gesture, and blue electricity shot from his eyes once more.

 

‘So if he just gives you a buff, you’ll kiss anyone?’

 

‘What do you mean kiss!’

 

At ShutUp’s words, Moment laughed, saying, “We had a really good time earlier, didn’t we?” ShutUp, with his blue eyes, and Moment, with his red eyes, were both looking at me simultaneously.

 

Regardless, I had played a trick. That’s why I couldn’t meet ShutUp’s glare. Having received the Relax, I was filled with remorse, and even as ShutUp cursed, I couldn’t retort and just listened.

 

I merely reached out to try and pry his hand off my collar because I was suffocating, but he gripped it even tighter. He even pulled me towards him so hard that my feet were slightly lifting off the ground.

 

‘Gasp, let go a bit and talk…’

 

As ShutUp continued to growl without loosening his grip, Moment stood up and approached.

 

‘Gentle is suffocating. Let go and talk.’

 

Moment, who came behind me, grabbed my shoulders and pulled me towards him, prompting ShutUp to push him away with his free hand.

 

‘Don’t touch.’

 

‘Whoa, scary.’

 

ShutUp suddenly let go of my collar with a snap and hid me behind his back. He had gripped it so hard I thought my item would be destroyed. Moment wore a look of slight disappointment.

 

‘Anyway, let’s hurry.’

 

‘With what?’

 

I, who had been behind ShutUp, poked my head out at Moment’s words and asked. ShutUp answered.

 

‘We decided to fight over you. If I lose, you’re that guy’s guide, and if I win, I’ll loot all of that guy’s items.’

 

But why am I being treated like loot?

 

‘Doesn’t my opinion matter?’

 

‘No.’

 

‘Yes.’

 

They both answered simultaneously and looked at me. No, I’m a person with my own will, so why…?

 

Before I could say anything, ShutUp approached. He lowered his head as if to kiss me, just like before. So I stayed still, but instead of feeling lips touch me, my body was lifted upside down.

 

‘Wait. I’ll be back after a link.’

 

ShutUp gave Moment a brief warning and carried me over his shoulder to the next room.

 

‘…Huh? Where are we going? Huh?’

 

‘I’ve done so much for you, it’s unfair to be treated the same as him. I deserve to be properly compensated for my efforts.’

 

‘We maintained our mutual interests through kisses. You should calm down and be rational—’

 

Before I could finish, I was forcibly laid down on the bed. ShutUp simultaneously removed his flashy armor and underwear items and approached. His naked body was fully revealed. It felt like the statue of David was approaching. Every time I saw the statue of David, I felt it was a bit small, but ShutUp’s form compensated for even that deficiency.

 

He snatched me, half-off the bed, with one hand and lifted me up again. I was laid flat on the bouncing bed, and ShutUp climbed on top, pressing me down. My hands were restrained by his one hand. Then, ShutUp unhesitatingly tore off my pants and underwear with his other hand.

 

<<Item Destroyed.>>

 

Then, a friendly notification message appeared at the top of the screen. It seemed he could touch items because we were partners. It was a shame, even if it was a shop item. His touch, destroying the item, felt as if he were crushing my wrists.

 

‘Didn’t you want this from the beginning?’

 

‘Are your ears blocked? No! I didn’t!’

 

He positioned himself between my spread thighs. His stiff penis came into view.

 

ShutUp slowly moved his hips, aligning his own with mine and beginning to insert it. Whether our bodies were compatible, I felt a slight resistance before quickly succumbing to pleasure.

 

Here, I could be sure. ShutUp’s matching result was much better than Moment’s… The moment his essence entered, I could feel it with my whole body. The intense pleasure, on a different level than kissing, made me moan like a beast.

 

‘Haaah…!’

 

I had to suppress my moans, thinking Moment was in the next room, so I bit my lips tightly.

 

‘H-huk, ugh…’

 

As I groaned and writhed below, ShutUp, unable to bear it, inserted his finger between my lips. A small gap opened, and the moans I had been suppressing escaped.

 

‘Don’t… just there…’

 

‘Oh? Beg a little more.’

 

It wasn’t that I was clenching on purpose; my toes curled and my body trembled with the stimulation every time ShutUp moved in and out. The intercourse felt like I was reaching climax with every thrust, rather than a slow build-up like in reality.

 

The matching score must be the compatibility index. My game character seemed to climax repeatedly every time ShutUp thrust inside, to the point where I felt like my underwear was getting wet. Trembling, I grabbed ShutUp’s pelvis as he thrust wildly.

 

‘Stop! The score… it’s going down…’

 

ShutUp’s PG dropped from 80 percent to 30 percent. They said linking was most effective through sex, and that was certainly true. If it had been a kiss, my GG would have already reached its limit.

 

Thinking it was still possible since no warning sound had appeared, ShutUp, who had been thrusting with his hips raised, lowered his upper body and put his arm behind my head. He put his arm under my head, pressed his body close, and then began to thrust his hips rapidly, letting out a grinding moan into my ear.

 

‘Ah, aah, huk…!’

 

‘Haaah…’

 

Without a word exchanged, the room was filled only with moans. Having sex with ShutUp, driven by pure instinct like a beast, I swayed, attached to him as if we were one body. When ShutUp’s PG dropped to about 10 percent, my GG was almost full.

 

‘Stop, eut…’

 

Despite my words, ShutUp raised his upper body again and lifted one leg, not stopping the act.

 

‘S-stop, stop…, ha, haak…’

 

While moaning, I managed to speak and ask him to stop. ShutUp warned me in a low voice as I trembled with sensitivity.

 

‘If you link with another guy again, I’ll kill you.’

 

That statement sounded like he would actually find and kill me. I nodded vaguely, but in the heat of the moment, my answer likely didn’t reach him.

 

With only a few percent of my GG remaining, ShutUp stopped thrusting violently as if to ejaculate inside and thrust deeply, lifting my buttocks. While trying to suppress my moans, I asked ShutUp, who was panting heavily, with a hoarse voice.

 

‘You said you’d bet… if you lose… I’ll go to that guy…’

 

My chest heaved with excitement and shortness of breath. ShutUp, lying on his stomach, buried my face within his arms. Looking up, I saw a faint blue madness in ShutUp’s eyes.

 

‘Do you think I’ll lose? Of course, I’ll win.’

 

He slowly lowered his head and sucked my lower lip intensely. With only 5 percent left, as soon as he touched my lips, a warning sound beeped in my ear again.

 

Yet, ShutUp didn’t stop. His tongue slowly swept across my palate and delved deeper. As I opened my mouth to receive him, a small laugh mingled with his hot breath.

 

When only 1 percent of GG remained, he slightly parted his lips.

 

‘Wait obediently. Don’t stray like today.’

 

As he even sucked my upper lip, it ended, and my vision went black. As usual, a message about blacking out appeared, and I was returned to the character selection screen.

 

<<Logging out.>>

 

‘Haa…, ah…’

 

Taking off the helmet and looking at my languid body, I found that my lower half was indeed damp. It seemed I had ejaculated in the game, and it had happened in reality too. I casually grabbed my pants and briefs together and looked inside, finding sticky mucus smeared messily between my pubic hair and underwear. At this point, I couldn’t tell where the game ended and reality began.

 

‘…I’m not really becoming gay, am I?’

 

A sigh escaped me.
