[Notification: A conversation request has arrived from Sexmuwiki.]

‘…What is this?’

As soon as I saw the notification on the screen, my face became bewildered.

While Sexmuwiki was an unbelievably powerful and versatile app, it wasn’t one that felt very human.

It felt more like a program moving according to pre-defined coding, rather than one providing services to me with its own emotions and thoughts.

But then it suddenly sent me a conversation request?

It was natural for me to be surprised by such a human-like action from an app that had only ever felt mechanical.

‘…Should I accept it for now?’

When I first encountered Sexmuwiki, it was the most suspicious app imaginable, but it had never once harmed me in the end.

With the belief that it would be the same this time, I accepted the conversation.

Ding.

The same chat window as when using the Q&A feature.

The only difference was that the other party, not me, had typed in a chat first.

[Sexmuwiki: Han Jihoon-nim. Greetings.]

The app talking to me directly sent a shiver down my spine for no reason.

For now, I calmly typed in a reply.

[Me: Hello.]

[Sexmuwiki: I imagine you are confused by this sudden conversation request.]

As it said, I was indeed very confused right now.

Was a human chatting? Or an AI?

Soon, an answer to my question arrived, but its content only deepened my confusion.

[Sexmuwiki: I am the creator of Sexmuwiki and a researcher belonging to the External Disaster Preparedness Headquarters of Gangnaseon Planet, Irregular Galaxy EM007.]

It was clearly written in Korean, but I couldn’t understand what it meant.

I saw the words ‘galaxy’ and ‘planet,’ but surely it didn’t mean alien, right?

[Sexmuwiki: For smooth communication, I am currently borrowing the language and communication methods of the planet Han Jihoon-nim belongs to for this conversation. There may be some awkwardness in the language conversion, and I apologize for this in advance.]

[Me: So, you mean you’re an alien?]

[Sexmuwiki: That is correct.]

A clean, concise answer.

Sexmuwiki certainly hadn’t seemed like an app a normal human could create.

Even so, isn’t saying an alien made it a bit too out of the blue?

[Sexmuwiki: Before we proceed to the main topic, I will explain Sexmuwiki. The agency I belong to is responsible for assessing how much of a threat planets in other galaxies pose to us and preparing countermeasures.]

…

[Sexmuwiki: The preparation I speak of here refers to the purification of planets with the potential to harm us. This is done by eradicating all life on that planet.]

In short, it was saying its job was to eliminate planets that could pose a threat to them.

My mind went blank at a story that sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie.

[Sexmuwiki: However, I feel there is an unreasonableness in the headquarters’ method. The headquarters defines external planets using a dichotomy of danger and safety, and purifies them through methods that disregard life.

[Sexmuwiki: Just as I hold different opinions from my colleagues, not all life on a single planet would possess threatening thoughts. Therefore, I have long protested that the headquarters’ binary judgment method is incorrect.]

[Sexmuwiki: During this time, an order came down from the higher-ups to designate the planet called Earth, which Han Jihoon-nim belongs to, as a dangerous class and purify it. The higher-ups considered humanity’s continuous attempts at space exploration as a potential danger.]

The continuing story was also quite complex.

The other party also said that to prevent indiscriminate sacrifices from occurring, it needed to prove that not all life on Earth was threatening.

And after investigation, it found that the driving principle behind humans on Earth, and their strongest instinct, was sexual desire for reproduction.

It also stated that it learned that this sexual desire was the factor that made humans most dangerous and violent.

It was at this point that I learned why Sexmuwiki was created.

If there were humans who, in an environment where their strongest instinct, sexual desire, could be freely expressed, did not cause harm to outsiders.

Then, the higher-ups’ judgment that all humans on Earth were harmful could be refuted.

So, the other party said that they created Sexmuwiki as an experimental tool to prove that hypothesis, and provided it to me.

[Sexmuwiki: My choice of Han Jihoon-nim as the test subject was a very correct judgment. During the 10 months of the experimental period in Earth time, Han Jihoon-nim used Sexmuwiki without harming anyone.]

[Me: I didn’t harm anyone?]

I couldn’t help but question the other party’s words.

Though I was getting along well with my lovers now, they had all, in the beginning, virtually been forced into relationships with me.

As if knowing my thoughts, a reply immediately appeared in the chat window.

[Sexmuwiki: What the higher-ups expected was a display of indiscriminate and violent sexual assault on surrounding humans, swept away by instinct.]

[Sexmuwiki: However, Han Jihoon-nim did not do so. Even when engaging in sexual acts against the other party’s will, you showed yourself to keep within limits. Furthermore, by activating the document creation lock function, you even refused opportunities to meet new partners.]

I simply didn’t feel like doing anything overly bad, so I didn’t, but it seems to have helped this creator in the end.

[Sexmuwiki: Thanks to this, all those who engaged in relationships with Han Jihoon-nim have maintained positive psychological states. Such actions by Han Jihoon-nim became useful evidence to refute the higher-ups’ judgment that all humans on Earth are dangerous.]

[Sexmuwiki: And just a moment ago, I received word from the higher-ups that the purification order for Earth has been revoked.]

I wasn’t sure about the details, but I supposed it meant I didn’t have to worry about Earth being purified anymore.

[Sexmuwiki: Furthermore, thanks to the experimental results shown by Han Jihoon-nim, the arguments of other moderate factions, which were previously ignored, have also gained traction, leading to a re-discussion about the headquarters’ methods.]

My head was still buzzing from hearing so much.

But wait a moment. If my actions became evidence for the creator’s argument, did that mean it had observed everything I’d done until now?

Just as the thought ‘That’s a bit unsettling…’ crossed my mind.

The other party, having seemingly read my thoughts again, typed in a chat.

[Sexmuwiki: You do not need to worry about privacy infringement. I am aware that humans are delicate beings with various emotions, and I understand the emotion of shame.]

[Sexmuwiki: The experimental progress was understood only through quantitative means, such as numbers and text, not images, and the same data was submitted to the higher-ups. Furthermore, as the experimental period using Sexmuwiki has concluded, there will be no further observation.]

Did that mean it had only understood things through text or numbers, like the information about my lovers that I could see on Sexmuwiki?

If so, that was fortunate, and since it said there would be no further observation, I didn’t need to worry about it.

[Sexmuwiki: Returning to the main point. Han Jihoon-nim’s actions lent strength to the arguments of the moderate faction, including myself, and served as an impetus to reconsider the outdated methods of danger preparedness. I contacted you to express my gratitude for this.]

Honestly, I felt like I should be the one expressing gratitude, having received Sexmuwiki.

Still, curious about what it was, I silently stared at the chat room.

[Sexmuwiki: Through the inquiry from Han Jihoon-nim a month ago and the trends in Han Jihoon-nim’s psychological state, I am aware of your biggest concern recently. As a reward, I wish to resolve that concern for you.]

‘It’s going to solve my concern?’

My eyes widened instantly.

There was only one big concern I had these days.

Did it truly mean it would solve that concern?

[Sexmuwiki: From now on, the negative perception among Earth’s inhabitants regarding the marriage between Han Jihoon-nim and your lovers will disappear. This will extend even to Han Jihoon-nim’s descendants born in the future.]

“What?! Is this real?!”

I shouted without realizing it, but the other party continued speaking in the same calm tone.

[Sexmuwiki: Additionally, I will add a ‘Healthy Sex’ effect to Han Jihoon-nim’s document, and enhance all ‘Healthy Sex’ effects written in Sexmuwiki documents to ‘Healthier Sex’ effects. This is the reward I have prepared.]

It felt like a dream that a wish I thought was impossible even with Sexmuwiki was coming true.

It was such joyous news that the earlier mention of Earth being in danger and me unintentionally resolving the situation felt utterly irrelevant.

I felt like rushing to my lovers right away to share the joy.

[Sexmuwiki: However, as the experiment has concluded, Sexmuwiki’s information input and modification functions will be restricted. While direct input will not be possible, automatically updated information will remain viewable, and additional features like the cleaning cam will still be usable.]

It was fulfilling my and my lovers’ dream that couldn’t be achieved even with Sexmuwiki, so not being able to directly input information didn’t matter at all.

My fingers trembled with excitement as I barely managed to type out a reply.

[Me: Thank you! Thank you so much!]

[Sexmuwiki: I am glad you are pleased. I, too, am grateful, and I hope you continue to enjoy a fulfilling sexual life, just as Sexmuwiki’s rules suggest.]

[Notification: The conversation with Sexmuwiki-nim has ended.]

Clutching my wildly pounding heart, I immediately went into my Sexmuwiki document.

[ㆍAs a reward from the Sexmuwiki creator, the ‘Healthier Sex’ effect has been obtained. When engaging in satisfying sex with a loved one, not only will you feel refreshed the next day, but your condition and physical ailments will also recover.]

As the creator said, the enhanced effect was listed under the ‘Trivia’ section.

The same was true for my lovers’ documents, which I checked next.

It was an unexpected gift that it would solve not only my condition but also physical problems, but the sentence that excited me the most was written below it.

[ㆍAs a reward from the Sexmuwiki creator, the ‘Blessing of Gratitude’ effect has been obtained. Negative perceptions regarding the owner’s plural marriage will disappear, and everyone will accept the owner’s plural marriage positively and bless the owner.]

“It’s real… it really happened!”

Amidst my mind being a jumble of bewilderment and joy, my heart, which had been pounding wildly, was on the verge of bursting.

Just then, a call came in from someone.

The caller’s identity was one of the people I wanted to see most right now.

ㅡJihoon Oppa! Did you have a good time with the unnies? I just finished my broadcast and was curious, so I called to—

“Yuna!”

ㅡHuh?

“Now…!”

I swallowed back the voice that was about to come out of my mouth.

I wanted to share this dream-like joyous news with all the people I loved.

ㅡWhy, Oppa?

“Let’s all gather with the unnies tomorrow. I have something to tell you.”
