Chapter 3 – Transmigration

Two swordsmen exchanged blows at a speed too fast for the eye to follow.

The fight was going poorly for Alisa.

Clang! Clang clack!

“Ugh…!”

She parried the powerful sword strike aimed at her flank, but she couldn’t completely negate the impact, and a groan involuntarily escaped Alisa’s lips.

In contrast, the drug fiend seemed to have plenty of leeway, grinning and subtly provoking her.

“Why don’t you just surrender? You might get hurt.”

“Dream on. I’ll never surrender to trash like you.”

“Hmph! Oh really? Then let’s see how long you can last. Don’t disappoint me!”

Crash!

The next sword swing contained a power on a completely different level than before.

Alisa, who had been trying to parry it, instinctively dropped her sword and threw herself back to minimize the impact, her wrist feeling as if it had been snapped.

Thanks to that, she avoided the immediate danger, but she lost her weapon.

Clatter!

“What? Is that all? It’s pretty anticlimactic, unlike all your big talk.”

“……”

“Ah~ This isn’t fun, is it? What should I do….”

The man, who had been grinning vilely as if Alisa’s fate was already in his grasp, suddenly kicked the rapier that had fallen to the ground.

The rapier spun and flew, landing directly in Alisa’s hand.

Alisa’s gaze was fixed on him.

“What? Is that so surprising? Don’t get too happy. You’re going to be taken by me anyway. If you don’t like it, struggle harder. Understand?”

Whether it was this body’s original nature or a perverted hobby he brought from Earth, he clearly wanted to continue this one-sided humiliation.

Alisa, her pride wounded by his arrogant attitude, bit down hard on her lip.

“That was a mistake. I’ll make you regret it, definitely.”

“I’m looking forward to it. But if it’s not fun, I’ll just take you right away─ Oops!”

Clang!

Before the drug fiend could utter another vulgar word, Alisa exploited an opening.

It seemed she had found a countermeasure from their previous exchange, never directly blocking but thoroughly parrying while seeking an opportunity.

Although her physical strength was low, her high sensory perception made her movements incredibly precise.

Watching her, I thought.

‘I’m so damn jealous.’

Someone transmigrated into the body of a good-for-nothing, so weak they had to fear even a child, while that guy was stronger than Alisa from the start.

I don’t know for sure, but seeing him overwhelm Alisa, his level seems to be almost 150.

It truly was an unfair start.

But reality is reality. I can’t change what’s already happened, so for now, I need to find a way to escape from him.

And not just me, but Alisa too.

‘But I’m no help.’

If I were to butt in between those two, there’s a high chance I’d be sliced cleanly in half from head to groin by the drug fiend’s single sword strike.

Then there’s only one thing left to do.

That is, to bring in a third party.

This area is a bustling downtown, so there should be at least one person who can help.

If not, I’ll just call for the escort knights.

‘Good. I’ll go when I see a chance.’

Having made my decision, I observed the situation as inconspicuously as a rolling pebble on the ground, then darted out of the alley the moment their swords clashed.

The corner was about 20 meters away.

Even in this state, my physical abilities are more than twice that of a normal person, so covering that distance would take less than 2 seconds.

If I just turn the corner and get out of his sight, I can escape his range.

He wouldn’t risk letting Alisa go just to chase me.

It was just as I was approaching the corner.

“You rat, where do you think you’re running off to!”

Goosebumps ran down my spine at the drug fiend’s murderous voice.

I instinctively ducked.

A chilling scrape!

A terrifying sound reached my ears as something passed over my head by a hair’s breadth.

Raising my head, I found a deep gash etched into the stone wall. It looked like it had been cut by a very sharp sword.

I turned my head with movements like an unoiled machine, and my eyes met the drug fiend’s.

“Just try to move one step from there. I’ll kill you instantly.”

“……”

Having given a light but not-so-light warning, he continued exchanging blows with Alisa as if I wasn’t even there.

But I couldn’t even twitch a finger.

‘I can’t believe he can launch sword energy.’

Once a person’s level exceeds 150, their mastery of sword energy reaches its peak, allowing them to transform it.

They could stretch it out like a whip, expand its size by focusing it to the maximum, or even launch it, just like he did a moment ago.

Being able to do that versus not being able to is a world of difference.

In fact, it was safe to say Alisa had no chance of winning at all.

Perhaps she realized it herself, as her already grim expression turned utterly serious. Impatience radiated from her movements.

‘What should I do?’

Calling for reinforcements was no longer possible.

I had to find a breakthrough with just the current situation, but was there even a way?

As I watched the precarious exchange of blows with anxious eyes, a thought suddenly came to mind.

‘If it’s that…’

*

Rape Declaration: When a target is chosen and rape is declared, the target’s physical strength increases by 3 times, and the user’s physical strength increases by 7 times.

*

I had completely disregarded it until now, so I hadn’t considered it, but if I used this, it might just turn the tide of the battle.

Because Rape Declaration was a skill that strengthened not only the user but also the target.

The problem was that I needed to get consent…

‘It’s better than dying!’

She might refuse, but for now, I had to use everything I could.

I laboriously opened my mouth.

“Alisa! I have a way to defeat him!”

With my shout, Alisa sent me a gaze mixed with half doubt and half hope.

She parried a sword strike with difficulty and cried out.

“What is it?!”

“Um… among my abilities, there’s one that amplifies physical strength. I can use it on you, Alisa.”

“Then hurry up and do it! I’m dying from exhaustion!”

Her gaze was full of resentment, as if asking why I had kept such a good thing to myself until now.

I continued speaking.

“But there’s a condition! It’s something so strange you might not believe it, but is that okay?”

“What is it? Why are you being so cryptic? I don’t care, just cast it quickly!”

Because the situation was so urgent, Alisa accepted without even properly hearing the condition.

However, I had to get a clear commitment.

I deliberately ignored the drug fiend, who had been growing more murderous by the moment, and dropped a bombshell.

“Actually… you have to have sex with me!”

At that moment, Alisa’s body froze.

Her dazed expression, as if wondering if what she had heard was truly real, was striking.

And the drug fiend was enraged by my words.

“How dare a worm like you covet what’s mine? Die!”

“Aargh!”

His rage was so intense that he didn’t even glance at Alisa, who had exposed an opening in her surprise at the unexpected condition, and instead launched sword energy at me.

Having been prepared beforehand, I quickly threw myself aside, moving out of the trajectory.

‘I almost died.’

Rolling on the ground, I got up and looked at Alisa, asking for her decision again.

“Alisa! What will you do?! Will you die like this?! Or will you have sex with me?! And for your information, it has to be non-consensual sex!”

I hadn’t used it yet, so I didn’t know the exact mechanism of Rape Declaration, but if it was just normal sex, the condition might not be met.

Of course, there was no way Alisa would willingly accept such sudden sex, but at least some preparation was needed.

Alisa, after a brief moment of thought, swung her sword to draw the drug fiend’s attention back to herself and asked.

“You’re not saying it has to be right now, are you?”

“No. It can be later!”

“…Alright. I’ll do sex or whatever. Just use that ability!”

“Alright. Then… I declare I will rape you!”

Hesitating because I didn’t know how to activate the skill, I finally declared rape openly, and something like a silver thread connected me and Alisa.

It seemed only I could see it, as the other two paid no attention to the thread.

‘So it tracks the rape target.’

If I declared rape and the other person ran away, it would be a big problem, so it seemed a countermeasure was in place.

What a truly amazing skill.

I was utterly dumbfounded, but that wasn’t what I needed to focus on right now.

The moment Rape Declaration activated, my physical strength stat amplified sevenfold, imbuing me with immense power and a sense of omnipotence.

Though less than mine, Alisa seemed to feel the same, as the balance of the exchange was instantly overturned.

Boom!

The slender rapier and the solid longsword clashed, but it was the longsword that was pushed back.

Their fortunes diverged.

“Ugh! What is this? Is something like this even possible?”

“…My strength really did increase. With this, I can win.”

I don’t know his exact stat distribution, but he probably doesn’t exceed level 150. Alisa’s current physical strength is over 200, which is an enormous difference.

Confirming her advantage, Alisa, in high spirits, began to pour out her offense.

Clash clash clash!

Her amplified physical strength, combined with her high sensory stats, created a powerful, fast, and precise sword art.

The drug fiend forgot his composure and was frantically trying to keep up with her tempo.

But complacency was forbidden.

As if everything until now had been a joke, he transformed his sword energy into a saw-like blade, gnawing away at Alisa’s sword energy with every clash.

Specks of magic power, scattered with sparks, glittered all around.

A startled Alisa quickly retreated.

Entering a standoff, the drug fiend caught his breath and glared at me, snarling.

“Damn it! I’ll definitely kill you, you bastard. You worm, you dare to bother me?!”

“……”

“You’re like me, aren’t you? I’ve roughly figured it out. You’d better not even think about running away.”

Indeed, even a fool would notice when it’s this obvious.

After all, there was no mention of such an event happening the day before the entrance ceremony in the game, and above all, my skill was far too alien.

It’s clear that if I even hint at trying to escape, he’ll ignore Alisa’s attacks and charge at me.

This is bad for me.

But if I use it well, I might actually be able to use it as a way to break through the situation.

‘Should I test it?’

I waited for Alisa and the drug fiend’s fight to intensify again, then moved my foot at the opportune moment.

No sooner had I taken one step back.

“You can’t escape!”

The man, who had been fighting Alisa, shouted loudly and turned his body towards me.

I offered him a smile.

“I’m not running away, though?”

“What!?”

Just as his bloodshot eyes widened in surprise, Alisa’s rapier grazed his shoulder.

Slash!

Though not deep, his skin tore open, and crimson blood welled up.

The drug fiend grimaced in pain, then blocked the rapier that thrust towards him again.

His steps towards me halted.

Alisa instantly grasped my intention and provoked the drug fiend.

“Where are you looking right now? I’m the one fighting you. If you get distracted like that, you’ll die, you know?”

“Damn it!”

No sooner had she spoken than the drug fiend was forced to engage with Alisa once more, her attacks striking like lightning.

And I, once again, watched for an opportunity, then moved at a decisive moment.

This time, it was two steps.

Click-clack, as I took rhythmic steps, the drug fiend’s gaze fixated on me.

Slash!

Blood splattered from his flank.

Alisa, who had also been paying attention to my movements, swiftly entered his blind spot and left a long gash.

It was deep enough that his internal organs could have been damaged if it had gone in just a little further.

After that, I repeatedly feigned whether I would run or not, getting on his nerves. An increasing number of wounds was a bonus each time.

A moment later, his patience reached its limit.

“You damn bastards. Alisa, I’ll kill you first. There are plenty of other bitches anyway, so I don’t need you. Die!!”

As if he had abandoned his lingering desire to train Alisa, he displayed a sword art purely for slaughter, unlike anything he had shown before.
