“……!”
I couldn’t even scream. Hexion took heavy breaths while holding me as I shook like I was having a seizure. I caught my breath while still bound by him.
The maddening heat gradually subsided thanks to the even hotter pulsing of our heartbeats.
I rubbed my forehead against Hexion’s shoulder to unstick my sweat-soaked hair. He trembled at that, and I simultaneously moaned and twisted my body.
It wasn’t because the position was uncomfortable or restrictive, but because he was still inside me, not softening despite having finished.
“Mmm, Hexion.”
Though he should have been satisfied after finishing, I was the one feeling a strange fullness with my stomach feeling heavy, while his heartbeat showed no signs of calming down.
When I wrapped my barely moving arms around his back and gently stroked it, Hexion kissed my eyes and temples.
“Shin Joo, does it hurt……”
I shook my head. Actually, it might have hurt a bit, but I’d forgotten about it partway through. I had an ominous feeling my waist would give out tomorrow, but I had no regrets.
However, I felt I would truly regret it if I didn’t remove the man who was showing signs of moving gently inside me again.
“Hexion. That’s enough.”
“…Yes.”
Despite my worries that he might not be able to control himself and keep going since it was his first time, Hexion obediently withdrew from me.
The problem was that his member was still too big and hard, making even the sensation of it slowly pulling out of my sensitive, heated inside overwhelming.
“Ugh, haa……”
It felt like there was a void down there. It was like my body wasn’t my own anymore. I startled at the feeling of something flowing from below, but quickly turned my head away, pretending to be composed.
“Shin Joo. Let me clean you up.”
“Already washing up?”
“Pardon?”
When I pulled his hand, Hexion followed along willingly but with a slightly dazed expression. It was a bit ridiculous how he could act so innocent now after behaving like a beast earlier.
I made him lie down on the bed, climbed on top of him, and gently bit his lips.
“Shin Joo?”
“I told you I wanted you to touch me.”
“…Ah.”
It seemed he knew how to have s*x but no one had taught him about aftercare.
While this information would have been unnecessary for a holy knight who took a vow of chastity, that wasn’t the case anymore, so I had to teach him.
As I slowly caressed Hexion’s shoulders and chest, he also began to gently stroke my back. When his fingers started moving down to my bottom, I wrapped my thighs around his, which surprised him and made him grip my bottom tightly.
When I yelped in exaggeration, he jumped in surprise, removed his hands, and apologized.
“I’m sorry, Shin Joo. I made a mistake……”
“Don’t apologize in bed.”
When I poked his long nose with my fingertip and smiled brightly, Hexion’s expression also softened. The heartbeat that had been pounding like a scream finally seemed to be returning to normal.
With my face buried in Hexion’s broad chest, I tried to savor the movement of his muscles that I hadn’t fully appreciated during our frenzied movements. Or rather, I was trying to savor it, but…
[You have completed Hexion’s route. Would you like to see the ending?]
- View the ending
- Continue the game
- End the game
Way to ruin the mood just when things were getting good.
Thinking that dating games should really learn to read the atmosphere before displaying status windows, I pondered which option to choose.
‘If I see Hexion’s ending, is that the end of the game?’
I hesitated a bit.
Given that option 2 specifically allowed for game continuation, choosing option 1 might mean I couldn’t progress any further and it would just end there.
‘What happens when you see the ending?’
The standard formula for possession stories is staying in the possessed world and living happily ever after with the conquered character. However, given the existence of option 3, completing the prepared ending might result in an automatic logout.
‘I was wondering how to log out all this time, so it appears when the ending approaches.’
If that’s the case, it means I can return to the original world, which suggests I’m not completely transgressed but rather experiencing something like a virtual reality game that I can return from.
‘There’s no guarantee I can transmigrate again next time.’
If I hadn’t transmigrated at all that would be one thing, but after experiencing this world, going back to reality and seeing the remaining conquest targets through crude graphics on a screen would definitely kill my motivation to play.
‘I should at least settle things with them before seeing the ending.’
Having made up my mind, I reached out to select option 2.
Just then, Hexion’s large hand covered mine.
“Shin Joo.”
“Yes?”
“No matter what you choose, I will always be by your side.”
“……”
It seems he noticed my hesitation.
His golden eyes, reflecting the moonlight streaming through the window, were filled with unwavering determination.
I couldn’t help but smile. Even if this was just a game, even if everything would disappear when I logged out, right now his feelings were real.
And that was enough.
“Thank you, Hexion.”
I kissed him lightly and chose option 2.
[Game will continue.]
The status window disappeared quietly.
Now then, shall we get back to what we were doing?
I traced Hexion’s collarbone with my finger, and he shivered slightly.
“Shin Joo…”
“We can wash up later.”
His eyes darkened at my whispered words.
This time, I’ll properly appreciate every inch of this wonderful body.
After all, who knows when the next chance will come?
In that case, rather than viewing Hexion’s ending right away, continuing the game to complete Kaint and Marvis’s routes would make for a more fulfilling playthrough.
‘What should I do……’
I peeked up slightly to look at Hexion. He must have been watching me the whole time, for he didn’t seem particularly startled even when our eyes met.
‘Ah, I still need to deal with Baal the priest, and Venom who framed Hexion!’
I had missed the chance to counterattack the culprits after passing out from putting on a show wielding the Blade of Judgment for a dramatic event clear.
After waking up, I learned the censorship was lifted and my desires went wild, leading to getting intimate with Hexion…
‘Wouldn’t it be unsatisfying to just see the ending here? The important incident hasn’t been resolved yet.’
The ending event might carelessly include a single sentence about catching and punishing the culprits, but that wouldn’t be enough to settle the grudge Hexion and I endured.
‘Alright. I’ve decided!’
Now that we’ve overcome one hurdle, I should continue the game to catch and thoroughly shake down the group that framed Hexion, and raise the lowered affection points back up.
Plus, I want to finish conquering Kaint who kept putting up walls, and Marvis whose affection points were rising more slowly than hair on a bald spot.
“Shin Joo. What are you thinking about?”
“Hm? Oh, just thinking about various things.”
“……”
“Don’t feel bad, I’m not ignoring you.”
“I don’t feel bad.”
Seeing him respond so compliantly, it was clear his former stubbornness had softened somewhat. Indeed, it takes an intimate physical connection to break down those walls.
I gently pushed myself up on top of him and kissed him. His lips, reddened from all the biting, still carried an intense fragrance. Was it okay for a man to have such a pure scent?
‘Well, if it’s good, it’s good.’
Who wouldn’t like someone who smells nice?
I alternated between sucking on Hexion’s lips, gently nibbling them, and licking them in a pecking sort of kiss.
Though it might have been annoying, Hexion steadfastly accepted all my playful advances.
“Hexion, you really have such a good personality……”
“Do I?”
“Yes. Anyone who dislikes someone like you must surely be out of their mind.”
First, I’ll find those who framed Hexion and deliver divine punishment. Now that we’ve thoroughly enjoyed adult romance, it’s time for some satisfaction.
‘Oh right. We had s*x, but I wonder if the affection points increased?’
While warnings appear when they decrease, they rise so quietly that I can’t tell the affection status. Still, it bothers me that even with route completion, the affection could fall below 99.
As I tried to open Hexion’s status window to check for affection changes, I noticed a small window hanging beneath his profile.
[Hexion] ha
‘What? Why is the text cut off in the middle?’
Thinking the window might be too small and needed scrolling, I shook it around, and a small scroll bar appeared, revealing the rest of the sentence.
hates you.
‘What?’
My body froze momentarily at the unexpected message.
I stared blankly at the blue-green window and cleared my throat.
‘Come on. I must have seen it wrong.’
It must be something like “Hexion likes you and hates whoever framed him.” The window was just too small and cut off the text.
I shrugged it off lightly and moved my hand again.
[Hexion] hates you.
“……”
I hadn’t seen it wrong. The message remained unchanged.
This isn’t a hidden camera prank.
And there’s no quest appearing that would suggest this is a last-minute twist to confirm love before the ending.
‘Wait. Then what about the affection points?’
[Hexion]’s current affection: 55
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
Hexion’s affection at 55. That’s the basic affection level from when we first met.
‘Can affection drop this low even with route completion?’
What’s the point of route completion then?
I silently glared at the status window.
Hexion’s reset affection points.
And the status description says he hates me.
It was too malicious to be a joke and too clear to be a bug as the same message appeared distinctly even after closing and reopening the status window.
“Ha……”
A sigh of disbelief escaped me.
After such passionate s*x, to have affection reset like this.
‘Was I that bad?’
It wasn’t even done out of obligation like last time. Did he think we weren’t sexually compatible and grew cold?
While I had been completely lost in our intimacy, it was ridiculous that he thought we weren’t compatible and his affection not only dropped but reached a state where it displayed a “hates you” message.
“Shin Joo? What’s wrong?”
Noticing my continued glaring into space with a bitter expression, Hexion carefully asked.
‘Right. Hexion was kind from the start.’
Though he would scold me when I said things unbefitting of the Divine Messenger’s position and would get serious when I made s****l harassment comments to test the dialogue censorship limits, he always remained by my side as a faithful knight.
So even if he grew cold because of poor s****l chemistry or compatibility, he wouldn’t immediately reject me and leave.
Even now, lying naked together in bed, skin against skin, he wouldn’t show any discomfort.
“Hexion. You do have a good personality.”
“You said that earlier too.”
“I know. But you really do have a good personality. Good temperament too.”
Perhaps sensing this time it was sarcasm rather than praise, Hexion’s expression became subtle.
“Shin Joo. Did I make some mistake?”
