Chapter 5

〈 Episode 5 〉Taking a Break

[Quest 2 begins in 6D 23H.]

[Inventory and Shop created upon completion of Quest 1.]

The quest was already something that happened to Asha months ago. Even though she failed the first quest, a second quest appeared, causing Asha to shrink back in fear.

“Do I have to go there again…”

Asha didn’t want to return to that place filled only with painful and terrifying memories, but doing nothing wouldn’t solve anything, so she sighed softly and checked her status.

[Character Name: Asha]

Strength: 5

Agility: 5

Durability: 4

Stamina: 7

Mana: 4

Asha checked her status window again. It had increased a little compared to the beginning, but the numbers were still far too low.

“What should I do now…”

Having only done what she was told at the brothel for two months, Asha’s ability to make active judgments had been suppressed. The message that she had to go somewhere else again confused her, and she couldn’t get a grasp on what to do.

“…”

Suddenly, she remembered the moment she was strangled to death. The sensation of gradually losing breath and all the strength leaving her body… Being suffocated by someone else’s hands and struggling to death was truly a terrible memory. Asha shuddered as she thought of that time.

“Ugh… I don’t want to die like that again…”

Recalling the terrible memory actually gave Asha a little motivation. She checked other things and realized she had received an inventory.

“I failed the quest, but I got the inventory. Is it not related to success or failure? That’s a relief.”

The inventory received from the quest could hold items regardless of size. Asha put various items from the waiting room into the inventory and realized that the bed wouldn’t fit, so there was no limit to the number of items, but there was a weight limit.

After briefly checking the inventory, she began to think about how to increase her combat power. In fact, if she had been able to hide or fight properly, she could have escaped the first quest.

“What would be good…”

Asha thought that basic stats and swordsmanship were urgent. Her current combat power was, at best, equivalent to that of a passing elementary school student. With such a body, it was difficult to even defend herself. Asha looked around the waiting room.

“It doesn’t seem like I can do much here. Ah, should I try using this? Shop.”

[Shop OPEN]

-Search for the product you are looking for.

At Asha’s words, a shop window appeared before her eyes. Its crude interface was reminiscent of a shop window from a classic game. Asha looked at the shop window and thought to herself.

‘Swordsmanship. Training tools.’

-427 search results.

Asha looked through the search results. Asha didn’t have a single coin, but her assets in the shop were recorded as 200 tokens.

“Why are there tokens? First entry bonus? Ah, how kind of them…”

Looking at the shop window, Asha pondered her future path. Her stats were still low, so she could become a mage, but Asha thought it was too dangerous to choose a mage when she didn’t know what situation she would be in.

‘It’s not like choosing a job in a game, if I choose anything, I don’t know what will happen.’

She imagined herself clumsily casting a spell and immediately having her head cut off. Shaking her head, she gave up on buying mage supplies and purchased basic swordsmanship and a beginner training set that she could buy right away from the shop.

After buying the two items, she had 80 tokens left. Asha left the tokens in case she needed something later, closed the shop, and recalled the memories of the game to use the skill book.

Poof-

A light shone from the book and circled around Asha’s body before disappearing. As she learned basic swordsmanship, things about how to hold, swing, and stab with a sword came to Asha’s mind.

“So… you hold the sword like this and swing it around?”

Asha knew roughly how to do it, but it seemed like she had to swing the sword herself to properly learn it.

‘Yeah, there’s no way it’ll just let me learn it with a skill book…’

Asha, who was slowly adapting to the hellish difficulty of this place that she didn’t know was a game or reality, installed the training tools in the waiting room. The not-so-wide waiting room became even narrower, but Asha didn’t care and started training.

“Hah!”

Asha wasn’t used to doing anything on her own, but what she had to do now was clear. Asha swung the sword, following the sword paths that came to mind, against the flawless scarecrow until her stamina ran out, and she was able to achieve Swordsmanship Level 1 after a few hours.

[Stat Enhancement has been created.]

“A new skill.”

When another message appeared in addition to the swordsmanship level-up message, Asha stopped training and looked at the skill. It was a passive skill that permanently increased her stats. It was like rain during a drought for her already weak body, so Asha was happy.

“It’s not like they’re just telling me to die. Ugh, I’m thirsty from exercising… Do I have to buy water too.”

Asha looked around the room, but it was still a barren landscape except for the bed and the training tools she had installed.

“I need to buy water, but I also need to buy food. I hate being hungry…”

To solve the problem of water and food, Asha looked at the shop again. The shop had a total of 180 coins, with 100 coins added again due to the acquisition of the first passive skill. Looking at the water and food, they were 1 coin each for 3 liters and 1 day’s worth, respectively.

“At least they’re cheap so I don’t starve to death. If only I knew how to use the shop window sooner…”

Asha was relieved by the relatively low price of food. Remembering the experience of being sold as a slave to Egret and being abused and starved, Asha didn’t want to experience starvation again. She bought 7 days’ worth of water and food in one go.

Clunk-

Asha was taken aback when 21 bottles of water and pills appeared before her eyes. Surprised, she looked around, but no other food came out. Asha’s eyes began to shake as if an earthquake had struck at the thought that the small pill in front of her was food.

“No, wait a minute, you said it was for a week? W-was I scammed?”

Asha felt momentarily angry at the thought of being scammed with food, but she ate one of the pills just in case.

“Umm…!”

She had only eaten one tiny pill, but she felt as full as if she had eaten a full course meal, and Asha’s eyes widened.

“Phew… it wasn’t a scam.”

Only after eating the pill did Asha realize that she had properly purchased food and felt relieved. She took a short break and resumed training.

On the night of the second day since Asha started training, Asha couldn’t fall asleep. Her face was flushed, and she was sweating slightly, crouching with her hand on her lower abdomen.

‘It’s… throbbing down there…’

Asha’s body had returned to her original appearance without the tattoos that had been forcibly engraved on her at the brothel, but the memories of being raped by men every day for almost a year remained in her mind.

Asha, who had become accustomed to having her pussy penetrated by men every day, began to send abnormal signals to her mind, which was not used to being without any stimulation.

Asha couldn’t stand being horny any longer and put her hand inside her clothes and started masturbating. Asha’s nipples were already erect, and a little bit of vaginal fluid was starting to flow from her hairless slit.

“Ugh…”

Asha touched her nipples with one hand and rolled her protruding clitoris with the other. Asha, who had been humiliated to the point of exhaustion as a woman, ironically didn’t know how to masturbate well. She stimulated her erogenous zones with clumsy touches, but her body immediately reacted to the given sensations and released a sticky vaginal fluid.

“Ugh… Haa♥”

Asha put her fingers inside her pussy, which was producing enough sticky water to wet her hands, and stimulated the vaginal walls. Her small hole opened and swallowed her fingers, but Asha wasn’t satisfied with just this.

‘These thin fingers aren’t enough… I want something thicker…’

Asha’s eyes, looking around, caught sight of the wooden sword she had been swinging diligently until just now.

“Ugh♥ Ahh, Hnnng…”

Asha, who was walking while still thrusting her fingers into her pussy, picked up the wooden sword and rubbed the handle between her legs to wet it with her vaginal fluid. When the wooden sword was sufficiently wet with vaginal fluid, she slowly pushed the blunt handle into her slit.

“Haaheuk…”

Asha unknowingly smiled blissfully at the thickness that was incomparable to her fingers. After pushing the wooden sword all the way into her hole, she slowly started reciprocating. Every time the thick wooden rod parted her pussy, water dripped between the cracks and wet the wooden sword.

“Ahrng… Thicker… Feels good…”

She massaged her breasts with one hand and moved the wooden sword she had inserted into her pussy with the other, pinching her nipples with her fingernails and reaching climax.

“Hiii♥ Haa… Ah, Aaaah…”

Asha, who had ejaculated along with her moans, pulled the wooden sword, which was already soaked and had a darker handle color, out of her pussy. As the wooden sword came out, the hole, which had been full, gushed out like a tide, and the slit opened and closed as if panting as the inside became empty. Asha, who had cooled down and regained her senses a little, threw the wet wooden sword away.

“Fuck…”

Asha, who had released all her lust and was in a state of post-coital reflection, shook off the vaginal fluid that was all over her hands with a shudder.

“Am I going crazy from selling my body to men every day…”

She was reminded of the memories of being raped by men that she had occasionally recalled during training. Most of them were unpleasant and depressing memories, but it was also a clear fact that she had felt sexual desire as a woman during those times. Asha’s reminiscence ended with the memory of being miserably strangled to death by the last man.

“It was definitely Dustin. That bastard… If I meet that bastard, I’m going to break his skull for sure.”

Asha recharged her fighting spirit, cleaned up the surroundings that had been messed up by her masturbation, and fell asleep again.
