“Baek Seonghyun, get down.”

“I don’t want to.”

“Baek Seonghyun, I said get down.”

“I said I don’t want to!”

“Seonghyun, get down. Before I raise my fist.”

She tried to use violence to make me submit in any way she could.

To be honest, I was so scared and wanted to run away. But I didn’t because my thin self-esteem, cultivated during my hikikomori lifestyle, was starting to revive.

“Go ahead, hit me! Show that you’re just a woman who can’t do anything other than violence!”

“Hah… You’re really getting cocky. Or did you come here just to wag your tail at me?”

To some extent, that was true. But the reason I came was not to wag my tail at Hanyuri, but to make her beg for mercy.

But my legs were trembling. My determination was crumbling.

As far as I know, Hanyuri is a C-rank superhuman. She can take a bullet with her bare body and be fine. She can lift several tons of small vehicles with her bare hands.

If she were to slap my cheek, my teeth would fall out, and a slight touch with her thick tail would peel off my skin.

Knowing that, fear crept up on me. I wanted to run away. But I didn’t… because if I ran, I would die. Whether by Hanyuri’s hands or the system’s.

“Are you here to seek revenge with that body of yours? Are you trying to provoke me?”

“Grr!”

“Your reaction tells me I’m right, huh? Well, it got through to you. I thought my heart would explode when you kissed me earlier. If you hadn’t just kept saying my name like a fool, I might have let it go.”

Could she read minds? I was so surprised that I let out a gasp.

“Alright. Seonghyun… It’s pathetic how you’re trying to act cute by awakening your instincts. You’ll naturally grovel and lie down after I slap you once.”

Hanyuri grabbed my collar tightly. I tried to move back quickly, but I couldn’t match her C-rank superhuman strength.

“Kchk!”

“What’s your awakening grade?”

“W-what?”

“If you awakened, you would have registered at the nearby city hall or hospital, right?”

“…F-rank.”

In terms of abilities alone, she could aim for A-rank or higher…

But judging by the increase in physical abilities, she was F-rank. No, even lower. She had actually regressed.

“F-rank?”

“My, my ability allows me to gain various abilities without an increase in physical abilities!”

“Oh, my ability is B-rank based solely on physical abilities.”

B-rank.

For a superhuman to be B-rank meant they were at a level where traditional weapons couldn’t even leave a scratch.

A superhuman like this couldn’t be killed unless faced with precise missile bombardment or the power of a nuclear weapon…

In fact, the US military reportedly poured hundreds of tons of explosives to kill a terrorist superhuman operating in the Middle East.

“Is Hanyuri more than that kind of superhuman?”

In other words, even if I died and woke up, I wouldn’t be able to inflict even a scratch with just my fingernails on Hanyuri…

I suddenly realized how impossible it was to make her submit.

“I thought she was just C-rank…”

No, the quest difficulty was insane from the beginning! If Hanyuri just pressed her fingernail, this soft body would burst like a balloon.

Trying to make someone like her submit? She was planning to kill me from the start. There’s no way to succeed…

“Your face has turned pale? Did you only see me as a mere D or C rank?”

“Ah…”

“Seonghyun. I’ll say this for the last time. Get down.”

There’s no way to win. If she becomes a superhuman of B rank or higher… it’s no different from a disaster for someone like me, a mere commoner.

How can a small man like me handle an existence that even the law can’t restrain? If she starts rampaging here, not only me but the area within tens of kilometers will be in chaos.

I couldn’t withstand the pressure in the inevitable situation and eventually yielded.

It feels like sinking into a bottomless swamp. Even if I struggle to get out, I’ll just sink deeper. To feel comfortable, I have no choice but to surrender my body.

In the end, I rushed into reality to overcome the past. But it was no different from sticking my head into a smelly beast’s mouth.

“Finally listening to me. Good, good.”

“Ugh…”

“Seonghyun. I know you dislike me. But do you know? You were able to attend school safely because of me.”

What nonsense is this? I had to lock myself in my room and live in trauma because of you.

This woman shows no remorse for her actions. No, I already know that. If she felt remorse, she would have apologized as soon as she realized. I just ran away and didn’t know.

Nevertheless, that fact triggered something inside me. My chest felt hot. My head was spinning. It was like when you turn on a hand warmer.

It felt like I was going to fall into ruin for the rest of my life. I don’t want that. I will definitely, definitely turn Han Yoo-ri into my bitch. My abilities were given to me by the heavens for that purpose!

“You had a lot of people who hated you for no reason, right? I dealt with all of them so you could live in peace.”

“Han Yoo-ri.”

“I regret causing wounds on your arms but…”

“Han Yoo-ri!”

“What, what?!”

B rank hero.

Just by flicking her finger, she could explode me to death – or swing her hand and tear me apart like sausage.

Suddenly, Han Yoo-ri seemed surprised. In that moment, I stood up from my seat.

“Apologize to me.”

“…Huh?”

“Honestly, I was too scared of you to speak up earlier. But hearing those words gave me courage. So I’ll say it confidently to you. Apologize to me!”

That’s when it happened. Time suddenly slowed down a bit – a translucent window appeared in the air.

[Critical Encounter!]

[The submission level of the target female is increasing!]

[0% 》20%]

[The excellent female specimen ‘Han Yoo-ri’ is registered in the database. To check the database, simply shout ‘Database.’]

“Database.”

I immediately took out the database without hesitation. And as expected, time slowed down even more.

It was so slow that I could see Han Yoo-ri wagging her tail. If I just touched it, the whip would surely break.

But for some reason, I wasn’t scared. It was strange.

[Female Database.]

“Han Yoo-ri: A rank superhuman. With a great appearance and body, successful mating can produce excellent offspring. It is recommended to impregnate through vaginal intercourse.

Also, the armpits and tail are weak points. If in possession of the ‘Flirting Machine’ skill, it can provide great sexual pleasure.

The target female harbors slight guilt towards you. She fears her past being exposed, although she hasn’t shown it outwardly.

‘Understood.’”

The true use of this status window. First, you must submit. Only then will the compendium open, allowing you to obtain hints based on that.

I turned off the status window. I narrowly avoided an attack by a hair’s breadth. Is it surprising that a low-grade like me managed to dodge an attack? Han Yoo-ri’s eyes widened.

“Did you just use your ability?”

“That’s not important. Han Yoo-ri. Listen to me from now on.”

“Why me?”

“If you don’t, I’ll expose everything you’ve done to me.”

If Han Yoo-ri harbors even a hint of guilt and fears this fact, she won’t be able to retaliate against me right away.

“Haha! Do you think I’d be surprised by that? Seong-hyeon. If you want to die, just say so, right?!”

“If I don’t return safely from here, a scheduled post will go up. It will contain everything you’ve done to me. Evidence will be attached.”

It’s a lie. I didn’t post such a thing. No, there’s no evidence to begin with. Even if I tried to collect it, there would surely be interference from outside.

“If you force me to delete that, I’ll just die somehow. In front of you!”

“This crazy bastard…! Do you hate me that much? Do you?!”

Ugh, I really hate you. I want to kill you so badly. It’s fortunate that you’re a woman, giving me a chance for revenge. If you were a man, I wouldn’t have hesitated.

“Yoo-ri. Should I like you then? There’s no reason for that.”

“You piece of shit….”

Han Yoo-ri bit her lower lip. She glared at me with wide eyes.

“Han Yoo-ri. It would be best for you to listen to me well from now on! Got it? If I so much as lift a finger, it’s over for you!”

“Did you come here with that intention from the beginning?”

“Yes, so what?”

“You’ve only changed on the surface. You’re still disgusting. You trash….”

Yes, I am trash. A piece of garbage that spent two years locked up in a room, gnawing away at my health and sanity, only to escape. It’s probably trashy behavior to be complaining now that I have a bit of power to seek revenge.

But because I didn’t seem more human than you, I was able to gain the upper hand in this relationship. If winning makes me a loser, and losing makes me a loser, I’d rather be the winning loser.

“Yoo-ri, then now.”

Undress.

I muttered words that were more inhuman than anyone else.
