Ch.519Chapter 20. American Doblin (9)

When most people hear the word “pure love,” they think of something positive.

The innocent love between a man and a woman.

Sweet and sometimes cringe-worthy, ultimately leading to the fruits of love.

And this concept of pure love typically depicts a relationship between one man and one woman.

Some people talk about “harem pure love,” but that’s just nonsense from cowards trying to justify harems under the name of pure love.

Or so pure love advocates say.

I used to think the same way.

-Labeling something as “pure love” while drifting into a harem is a sin.

Either declare it a harem from the start.

Or if you must introduce other heroines, at least frame them as crisis characters meant to emphasize the pure love with the main female protagonist.

Whether for that purpose or to test the waters for a harem, I thought that having other heroines appear during the development of pure love was an insult to the concept.

As a reader, that is.

But now that I find myself in this “Do Ji-hwan” situation, something feels strange.

I was definitely a pure love advocate.

Yet now I’m involved with multiple women.

If I were to make an excuse, it’s that the Boss led me into harem corruption.

I rejected the seduction of Seon Ga-eul, the Witch of the Rising Sun.

When one of the executives, who was hiding the fact that she was a virgin ghost, pounced on me, I overcame the crisis with my impressive hand techniques.

I even had flirtatious encounters with Nadeshiko and other foreign S-class ability users.

When I was trying to stay away from all romantic temptations, focusing on preventing the world’s destruction as a Goblin and dreaming of returning to Earth.

-Huhuhu, now you’re mine forever….

After fighting the demons of Pandemonium, I was finally captured by the Boss and became hers.

-You can never escape from me now. Even in death, you won’t be free from me. You will be mine alone.

At first, that’s what I thought.

“I won’t be involved with any woman other than the Boss from now on.”

I had many things to worry about for this world, and when I decided to live for the Boss and the world she would rule, I never dreamed of a harem.

But then.

-He-help…!

The Boss couldn’t handle me.

She tried to prove that I was hers in front of the executives, but that day she nearly ascended to heaven.

-S-someone… take over…!

Was it because she would also achieve enlightenment if the Boss died?

Or did I feel triumphant for sending the Boss away with purely physical techniques?

Or perhaps it was the lingering attachment from dying as a virgin ghost, the fundamental human desire to experience something even after death?

-Ugh, this is… impossible…!

-Ah, this is maddening…. How can a human be like this…?

-…Boss. What should we do? I feel like I’m going to break…

-Haaah! I’ve become a patriot for the Goblin’s club! Or something like that… Haah.

All four executives challenged me in succession, but they too were defeated.

For three reasons:

One, infinite stamina.

As evident from this Goblin’s real name being “Do Chang-nam,” while the Goblin’s body had C-class magical power, its stamina parameter reached EX-class.

Two, trained physical strength.

When I first possessed the Goblin, I was physically in poor condition, but I trained my body relentlessly from possession until Christmas.

And three,

The technique I had before possession—”imagination.”

I had devoured all kinds of novels, which detailed how alpha males handle women according to novelists.

Whether cases that directly incorporated real-life experiences, or scenarios that turned visual material into character narratives and actions, all that content greatly helped me deal with them.

Imagination into reality.

Magic power turned my thoughts into actions.

The brain converted imagined actions into immediate physical signals to move the body, and the ability user’s brain completely transformed me.

Do Chang-nam’s innate stamina.

The physical strength that Do Ji-hwan had cultivated for a short time.

The ability to turn imagination into reality as a Goblin.

And the magic power that encompassed it all.

This trinity of mental, spiritual, and physical vigor allowed me to not only face off against one EX-class and four S-class opponents but also continue from sunset until the New Year’s Eve bell rang at the pension.

-…Who exactly are you…?

-A Goblin.

Among ourselves, we jokingly call it “The Week of Blood.”

After that incident.

-…Look, I don’t think I can handle this alone.

The Boss waved the white flag.

-Hey, can you all help me out? I need someone beside me whenever I deal with this man….

Her initial thought of monopolizing me changed after directly experiencing my abilities that even I wasn’t aware of.

-I don’t have talent in that area.

-I can help, but if he gets serious, it’s too much for me too.

-I-I’ll try my best! But… I don’t know if I can handle it properly.

-Did we accidentally unseal some demon lord?

Even the executives said they couldn’t guarantee victory even if they combined their strength.

-…It’s not like we need to bring in more women to handle him when we need to rest.

That was a comment made by one of the executives while watching the sunrise together and making New Year’s wishes.

-That’s it!

And the Boss accepted and developed that suggestion.

-Let’s increase the sacrificial lambs!

-No, isn’t creating ghosts a bit much?

-Not ghosts, but living people. People who genuinely love the Goblin and can share that love rather than monopolize him.

Thus, the Boss abandoned pure love in the truest sense.

-Any woman who suffers one-on-one torment for a week will have to make a decision. Either think about divorce and never seeing him again, or bring in another woman to survive.

In reality, most choose the former.

It’s common in family courts to see women demanding divorce because they can’t handle their husband’s vigor.

But the world of ability users was different.

In an era where harems are recognized for capable individuals.

Especially for those S-class or above, where the state and society actually encourage harems.

In this world where human sexual norms changed after a meteorite crashed into Earth, harems weren’t particularly problematic.

Except in the Empire of Hwan—God Korea—where Confucian ideology runs deep.

…Well, anyway.

With my Goblin club, I ended up drifting from pure love to harem.

As a former pure love advocate reader, as someone who lived in a country where even affairs, let alone polygamy, were grounds for divorce, it was hard to accept.

However.

-I’m a Goblin who possessed someone in another world, living as a villain, so does it really matter?

As I chose the path of a villain and decided to try all sorts of things in this world that I couldn’t do in reality.

-A harem? Why not, let’s give it a try.

Honestly.

As a man, there’s no man who would dislike having multiple women—

* * *

“…And while we were looking for someone who could handle the Goblin with us, the Goblin found you on his own.”

“To incorporate me into his harem?”

“No. To make you a member of the Syndicate. I was the one who ordered you to be made both a member of the Syndicate and part of ‘the Goblin’s harem.'”

The Boss clarified Ymir’s confused anguish.

“Of course, even if he agreed to that, he must have formed a patriotic relationship with you because he wanted to develop that kind of relationship with you.”

“Well, if that wasn’t the case… I’d be a bit angry.”

Ymir pouted but took a deep breath and glared at me.

“Since you’ve proven otherwise in many ways, I’ll understand.”

“That’s it, Ms. Ymir. Do you understand my feelings a little now?”

“Well… I understand after meeting all five executives and the Boss of the Syndicate and hearing the story. I understand.”

Ymir seems to still have some unresolved questions.

“I’m curious about something.”

“What is it? I’ll answer anything I can.”

“How does the Syndicate plan to rule Korea using the Goblin? Are you planning to impregnate S-class women and take them all to America?”

“Not at all. We’ll have them give birth in Korea. In that sense, I’ll give the Goblin a new order so that Ms. Ymir can cooperate.”

“Order…?”

A new directive right in front of Ymir.

Somehow, it makes my spine even colder.

“Before the World Cup begins, impregnate two more S-class women.”

“…….”

Huh?

“Boss. Did I hear that wrong?”

“No. You heard correctly. You even accurately guessed the two people I just thought of.”

“So….”

The two S-class women the Boss is talking about.

Considering the circumstances….

“Ms. Ymir. Who do you think are the two S-class women the Goblin should impregnate?”

“Not the Goblin, but Do Ji-hwan will impregnate them.”

Ymir looks at me with resignation rather than anger, with sympathetic pity, and—

“Thunder Empress Kim Yoon-ji and Firefox Yoon Yi-seon. Impregnate those two.”

“…….”

“I might even be able to help with that!”

She sent me a look full of expectation and mischief, smiling broadly.

“Whatever, let’s have a patriotic party!!”

“Hey.”

“That’s correct, Platinum Sun.”

“Boss. No, I already impregnated Baek Seol-hee, and if I impregnate those two as well—”

“Three S-class fighters won’t be able to participate?”

The Boss picked up a booklet on the table.

“With Do Ji-hwan’s power, make all of Korea’s World Cup players unable to participate. Under the pretext of pregnancy.”

“…….”

“And instead of a weakened Korea, the ones who will lift the Ability User World Cup trophy are the ‘Four Gods of Death’ from America.”

Seong Ji-eun and Cheon Ju-yeon slightly raised their hands.

“And one mysterious masked man D.”

“Is he really mysterious?”

“Of course. I’ve already decided on his alias. ‘Doblin.'”

“…….”

In English, a goblin is called a “goblin.”

“Do Ji-hwan will impregnate S-class female heroes to make them absent, and the Goblin, as an American ability user named Doblin, will defeat Korea and win the World Cup with skill.”

The Boss commanded.

“In the Ability User Sports World Championship, America will defeat Korea and win. Our Syndicate will.”
