Chapter 92 – 25. Missing Person – Despair (1)
The ‘Grand Wall’ that crosses the continent in half.
The land west of that absolute barrier is the realm of mankind.
600 years ago, the Empire founded by Empress Kairos by unifying her five great kingdoms wields unbridled power as the only ruling class in the Western Continent to this day.
The center of all power, wealth, prosperity and authority of mankind.
Ecliptic ‘Chiraphelium‘.
It is the most splendid, magnificent, sacred, and great city in the history of the continent.
The Imperial Palace, located in the center of the ecliptic, illuminates the entire city day and night like the sun. Its dazzling light can be seen anywhere in the ecliptic simply by raising one’s head. The people of the empire always live in awe and appreciate the grace of the imperial family.
However, light and dark always strike a balance.
The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.
In the outskirts of the city, underground where no light can reach.
In a small room about 3 pyeong, two women hug each other and endure the trembling cold.
In the gap between the three adverse conditions of early winter, midnight, and basement, the only source of warmth to rely on is the body temperature of the opponent.
No one takes care of them
No one releases them
Nobody loves them
I never had any hope that the future would be better. Only today I live because I can’t die.
Until the day we met.
A new wind blows in a space filled with only dull and gloomy despair.
With a blindingly colossal whiteness.
Kiyiyin
“Ewh?!”
“What… What?!”
There was no window in the room, so no light leaked out. Also, all the other women on the same floor were doing ‘work’ at the same time, so no one heard their surprised voices.
“Hey…Where is this…? Yes?”
Only the woman’s bewildered question suddenly appeared out of thin air and hovered around the room on the cold wall.
Like that, Lee Yu-jin was summoned to another world.
Unfortunately.
* * *
“I… I’m Christine…”
Christine, the older of the two in the original room, shrank from the sudden unknown and hugged the other woman in her arms as if protecting them.
“I’m Ruina! I’m 19!”
Meanwhile, Louisa flashed her hand at her new guest, her eyes twinkling with her lively voice. Lee Yoo-jin, who was bewildered by her greeting. Her nervousness at her unexpected kidnapping seems to be slightly relieved thanks to Ruina who welcomes her innocently.
However, Lee Yu-jin had no choice but to panic again in front of her unexpected question.
“You’re my first master?! I’m a virgin. Please make me an adult soon. Hehe.”
“······Yes?”
Lee Yoo-jin shared information about her current situation with Christine. Louisa, who seemed too naive, made Christine shut up. Lee Yu-jin’s head couldn’t keep up with her successive shocks.
“So… Are you saying that this is not Seoul, Korea, Korea, America, America, or even Earth…?”
“Yeah, I don’t know what all of them are…”
Lee Yu-jin thought she was about to go crazy. Judging by their natural blonde hair and fair skin, the two are likely Westerners. Strangely, however, her communication with herself runs smoothly without any hindrance.
So she asked her current location in short English, but Christine replied that this was the capital of the empire, ‘Kaira Pellium’, and that she had never heard of any other words.
The problem is not only this.
“And… You guys, you’re selling yourself to… Men?”
“Yes… I’m taking a break today.”
“I! I’m still a child, so I’m a virgin! There’s less than two months left!”
Louisa’s lively attitude and Christine’s additional explanation are too dizzying.
This building is called ‘Dandelion’, and the basement including this room is said to be the accommodation of the prostitutes who work there. Louis, I was underage, and Christine was on her period, so she appeared out of nowhere while she was resting in her room.
The two were in debt to Changgwan. Christine was sold here by her debtor her husband 20 years ago, and Louis I was born in her window.
It’s a really rough life.
Lee Yu-jin looked around the room. Narrow and cold walls without a single window, and a thick iron door like a prison. Rather than a place where people live, it is a place that is better suited as a breeding ground for livestock.
This sight arouses an instinctive pity in her heart.
But first, the emotion that fills Lee Yu-jin’s head is fear.
‘Then why am I here?’
Dirty rags and clean uniforms. The two figures overlap with themselves. Her body begins to tremble like an aspen tree as the thought flashes through her mind that she will soon find herself in the same terrible predicament.
A hopeless misfortune is transferred to oneself.
Before she does, she must escape this place.
I’m not the one to be here
“I… I… Have to get out of here… I shouldn’t be here…”
“Yes Yes?”
“Sorry!”
Cheek-!
Lee Yu-jin opened her iron door and started running down the long hallway. Urgent footsteps echo like an echo. Behind her, Christine seems to be shouting something of her, but she doesn’t hear her.
The hallway is dreary with sparse lighting and no signs of popularity, but a bright light leaks in through a crack in the door at the far end. Like the exit of a long tunnel, she believes that once she reaches that point, she too will be able to return home.
Waking up from a fucking nightmare
Lee Yu-jin opened her door wide. Her warm warmth gently embraces her. And-
“Cuck!”
“Fuck, what is this bitch?”
She was hit right through the stomach by her merciless fists, and she fell to the cold floor. Her sudden shock chokes her breath. Her pain came in waves after a while.
“Keep it, keuheob! Heugeuu…”
“Hey, what are you? Why are you jumping out? Are you trying to run away?”
Her guard, who was watching her whorehouse-cum-fence, approached, waving her right arm wide. As he grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up, her light female body dragged helplessly.
Puck. Puck. Puck.
Lee Yoo-jin’s tears and screams could not stop her guard’s fists and her kicks. Her stomach, stomach, sides, arms, legs, back. Her will and spirit are gradually being eroded by the pain pouring down her shoulder.
There is no way that a weak high school girl who has only studied so far can stand up to the violence of a strong man. She slowly fades the life in her eyes. Yujin’s eyelids slowly closed.
“Wait!”
Christine came running behind her, clutching her aching stomach from menstrual cramps.
“He’s a newcomer recently. He doesn’t know the rules here yet. If the new product even has a scar, the mistress will be furious!”
Her lie is to save Lee Yu-jin from the ‘penalty’ here.
“Ugh…”
“Really? So, are you in charge of educating him? Why did he try to stand out?”
“That’s······.”
Fortunately, the guard doesn’t know the faces of most of the prostitutes. Thanks to this, Lee Yu-jin was able to escape the future of being captured as an intruder and dying after being tortured.
But it is unfortunate at the same time. He naturally assumes that Yu-jin Lee is one of her prostitutes, so her bizarre situation that she suddenly appeared out of thin air can only be dismissed as insane nonsense.
Christine still couldn’t bear to tell the story she was dubious about. She knew that if she did that, Lee Yu-jin would be treated as a ‘mentally ill person’ rather than a ‘summoner’. Then she would be treated as ‘No Longer Human’.
“You know you’re the longest-serving prostitute here, right? I have to report this incident up above. Then what will happen to both of you?”
The guard smiled slyly and laughed. Christine knew what he wanted from years of experience. Her eyes were stained with an all-too-familiar resignation.
“…I’m on my period, so I can’t do it.”
“Yes, yes. It has a mouth and a back.”
Christine’s eyes narrowed quietly.
Lee Yu-jin narrowed her heavy eyes.
Her body doesn’t move as she wants, perhaps because of the bitter pain everywhere. She managed to turn her head and look around. She is bothered by strange noises and smells from the moment she wakes up.
That day, she saw it for the first time. Sex between men and women. Man’s genitals. Male sexual desire. The foul smell of semen and love juice.
And the despairing resignation of a woman who accepts all of this insensitively.
‘It’s because of me…’
Yujin couldn’t help but notice. She now knows that the reason Christine offers her body to her guard, whose name she doesn’t know, is to save herself.
Because she was overcome with fear and compulsion, and ran out of control without knowing what she was doing.
Although Lee Yu-jin’s eyes were dark, a little of her vitality returned. Using her surging regret and regret as fuel, she forged a new will.
Let’s escape this place with the two of us.
* * *
From that day on, Lee Yoo-jin stayed in Christine and Ruina’s room as if dead. It was very uncomfortable for the two of them to live together in a cramped room, but they had no choice but to stay unnoticed by others.
Share food and share body temperature. In the heightened hunger and the improved cold, Lee Yu-jin spoke to the two of them.
“Let’s escape together.”
Ruina grew up receiving ‘education’ here, so it was natural for her to be a prostitute when she grew up. She has been constantly brainwashing herself to become her prostitute without hesitation. So, she couldn’t understand Lee Yu-jin’s words properly.
Christine, too, had long since been entrenched in her mind, her resignation, which had been learned for twenty years. However, she weakly nodded her head at Lee Yu-jin’s suggestion.
“······I don’t know, but Ruina and you, get out of here. I’ll help you.”
“Your sister is going out too!”
“I’ve already rolled my way, but you guys are still young and virgins. If only some of the three can go, you guys should go.”
This debate decided to continue after finding a way out first, and they began to search for an escape route in earnest.
“Hehe, they often stick to me these days? Did you like the taste of my dick?”
“My brother is much better than the other guests.”
Christine was more active in making fun of her body. She had periodic relationships with guards and cleaners, stealing information about the building’s structure or patrol hours with her pillow-haired slander. Lee Yoo-jin combined the fragments of this information and made a plan little by little.
At the same time, she worked hard to solve Ruina’s brainwashing. Lee Yu-jin and Ruina were the same age, and Ruina liked the story of Earth. Every day, Lee Yoo-jin whispered her hopes to Ruina and sang of a bright future after her escape.
So, two months passed. Ruina and Lee Yoo-jin became adults.
On the first day of the new year, Louis I went to check on her awakening, but of course she was of no attribute. Since Lee Yu-jin was treated as someone who didn’t exist, she was not tested. In common sense, she assumed that she would also be a non-attribute.
Recently, prior to starting her prostitution in earnest, she began receiving training from the owner of Changgwan, ‘Madame’. Fortunately for her misfortune, Louisa’s maiden was still unharmed. She was going to be dedicated to her soon-to-be VVIP of her maiden taste.
“Soon Ruina’s going to work. She’s got to really escape now.”
“······.”
Their plans were somewhat stranded. Recently, Changgwan was cluttered and busy with the VVIP’s scheduled visit. The number of guards monitoring the inn has been drastically reduced due to a considerable shortage of manpower. The main point of the escape plan is to evade them somehow.
“Tomorrow at midnight, I’ll make up my mind.”
“······Yes.”
Coincidentally, Christine is also off today and tomorrow. I’m going to spend a hot night in the hallway tonight with the guard, who I’ve been overlapping with several times in the meantime, and I’m going to run away after putting him to sleep with sleeping pills.
“It should be fine.”
“It’ll work out. I’m sure.”
Lee Yu-jin was sure. These days, she wonders if the reason she was summoned here is to save the unfortunate. Christine and Louisa are poor but good people. I will definitely rescue you.
A faint smile formed on Christine’s lips. These days it was as if she had a new child. Her new daughter was as bright as Ruina, but wise and cautious. She sincerely hoped that Lee Yu-jin would be happy in this world from now on.
They waited for Ruina to return from her mistress’ education.
Louisa didn’t come back that night.
* * *
“Christine, my oldest daughter.”
“Louie, you gave birth to a stomach ache. She’s in the body transformation room right now. She’s going to have a limb amputation and tongue resection soon.”
“Huh? Why? Ah, you can be happy about it. I just needed a ‘Virgin Ona Hall’ as a present for a VVIP. Among the adult virgins in our house, Ruina is the best.”
“It’s a great honor to have her own daughter become his property. You’re such a wonderful mother. In that sense, how would you like to be pregnant again after 20 years?”
“… Huh? Why are you making such a sad face? Did you suddenly have maternal love?”
“Come to think of it, it’s strange. Earlier, she shook her head as if she didn’t like me, Louis. Maybe my education was a little lacking.”
“Or… Are you hiding something from me?”
“Tell this mother. She will forgive everything.”
“······What do you mean by that?”
“To think there’s a girl who will replace Ruina hiding in your room.”
“That’s great!”
“I can increase one more true product.”
