After Adam had Left, the aspiring Divine Doctor held his face in annoyance. He felt his words skew.
Maybe there was a better way to explain this…
…but the emotions he'd felt restricted eloquence.
After Hyuk had escaped from the Ming Cult, he had indeed adventured the world and racked a harem.
Making Momma Kang and Daddy Kang proud…
He remembered a scene from his past, even he was just a powerful fledgling without maturity.
If someone offended him, he'd seduce their female family members. Whether through hook or crook.
Hyuk wasn't thinking of his future back then…
The only thing that mattered to him was to die with salvation. To achieve everything he ever wanted.
And one of those objectives were creating a family.
At a certain point in his life, the Harem King had even taken over a kingdom through his means.
He sat in the royal bedchamber of a certain empire.
After the ruler was dethroned, he married in and took over. Taking control of the people and Murim.
To add a layer of context to where he stood, the crucial thing to note was that royalty was special.
Even well-respected Clans of the Murim respected the emperor, as they fought on his vast lands.
Thus, taking his seat meant having control of both the Murim and common people outside the pugilistic world. His connections ran deep into every informant network and all layers of society.
He was at the peak of his influence…
After a dozen years, his children had grown into fine Martial Artists and capable successors to him.
And his family was harmonious.
Envious we're the many Clans when they saw how no amount of incitement could temp the children.
No one had fought over the Harem King's throne.
After all, it was hard to say when a fighter that had reached the grand level of Martial King would fall.
Thus, he had all the time in the world to indulge.
Hyuk's royal bedchamber was several times larger than the banquet hall that held large gatherings.
There were several furnitures and beds within it.
All of them had a beauty leaning on them while panting in exhaustion. There wombs filled up.
White sticky Yang leaked out of their holes…
The scent of his essence filled the room as he continued to indulge in his non-pregnant lovers.
"You want to bear another little one?" He asked while watching a woman rock up and down on his waist. Shamelessly swinging her breasts up and down without elegance. She had the face of a slut.
A certified whore down to the bone…
"Yes… Yes! Ah, YES! Make me feel it again. Do it to me again!" She begged wearing skimpy clothes.
Though even that was a mess that was barely hanging on her body after she'd ripped it off.
Hyuk lifted his hand to execute a technique:
'Heavenly Touch of Earthly Satisfaction'!
She released her orgasmic fluids on bed again, and the Harem King continued to 'fight' the battlefield.
The legions of lovers were starting to rise up once again, but he knocked them down from a distance.
His technique able to be used even from a range.
His semen and their cum mixed together some more. Creating a now filthy room of 'harmony'.
Yin and Yang were constantly creating new life.
When the princess was finally tired to the point of falling back limply, he turned his head to another.
A maid he'd seduced recently…
"Do you want to go another round too? You've been looking at her in envy this whole time." He spoke to the woman barely wearing what was left of her servant outfit. Who smiled at him happily.
"Let me bear a prince AND princess." She spoke while straddling him, and pushed him deep inside.
"What if it's two princes?"
"…Can we try until there's a princess?" The way she teasingly spoke this turned him on even more.
Hyuk hadn't left this room in a while, but he was sure his successors were doing fine without him.
After he coronated his most outstanding child as the new emperor, his workload had lowered.
It gave him more chances to indulge himself.
Though the laundry servants probably had a tough time cleaning so much dirty outfits and underwear.
Hyuk stretched after they'd all collapsed.
Feeling refreshed while walking out and asking those elderly and not quite his preferred age of 20s to clean the aftermath. They took the girls out of the bedchamber and prepared to bath them.
The Harem King walked out of his bedchamber with merely a long cloth covering his waist… like a Greek God. His long hair stretched down his waist while stretching his well-defined, sculpted figure.
He'd expected to be greeted with joy when he exited the room, but was shocked by an incident.
"Sir!" One of the male servants ran to him in a hurry and handed him a parchment with writing.
His eyes shook after he'd opened the report…
He stopped in his tracks and made his way to the audience room where the emperor handed orders.
There, a criminal was being held for a trail…
"It wasn't my fault! Those bitches had it coming to them!" Said the arsonist who'd burnt a building.
The successor Hyuk had coronated as the emperor looked down on the man, and felt a hint of pity.
He knew exactly how things would go down.
And as he'd expected, his father was the first one to burst into the court without wearing any clothes.
And yet, no one seemed to criticise him for it.
When Hyuk entered the room, the entire audience hall had become silent in the sight of his presence.
They couldn't say a word.
No one except the criminal, who could only see a shadow looming over him from the afternoon sun.
'Who is this person?' The man thought while trying to force those holding him down to let go of him.
How dare they touch someone of his stature?!
"Namgong Clan. The prodigal Young Master and son of Advisor Yun." Hyuk's voice was heard.
"Who dares speak of my father so arrogantly?! I'll rip out your tongue!" A strong energy released from the young man that threw the guards away from him. He proudly turned to see who it was.
Then buckled to his knees upon seeing the man.
His healthy face turned ghostly pale upon seeing the handsome man who smelled of sexual fluids.
There was no one who wouldn't recognise the man.
"Your Majesty…!" Even in the presence of the current emperor, they still called Hyuk this title.
That was just how influential he was.
"So you're going to pull out my tongue?" Hyuk asked while walking up to the captured criminal.
"T-that's a big misunderstanding! I'm a loyal man of this empire. The Namgong Clan is respectful."
"Really?" Hyuk smiled. He went up to the man and looked closer at the handsome face of sincerity.
"Yes, I'd only burnt down the house of a few servants that were planning an insurrection. They had cleverly offered themselves up to you and went back to their husbands the next day."
"Is what he said correct?" Hyuk looked up at his royal son. The emperor spoke with certainty:
"He burnt down one house." Such a thing was insignificant in the eyes of the high and mighty.
The young master didn't believe he did wrong.
It was only a few nobody servants.
However, teardrops dripped down from atop of Hyuk's chin… They realised how much pain he felt.
Unable to speak in the untamed fury within him.
A red hue coloured his pupils, which were now filled with Demonic Qi from using an devilish Art.
"You burnt… killed, the wife I had yet to marry and child that had yet to be introduced to this world…"
"W-what?" The young master suddenly saw that the former ruler suddenly caught onto his neck.
"Go to them and apologise."
*CRACK*
The sound of a neck being crushed echoed in the audience hall. An influential notice was executed.
The father, Advisor Yun, was about to cry aloud.
But before he could make a scene, the current reigning emperor threw a sword the skewered him.
A bloodied figure suddenly fell.
Becoming a corpse without making any sounds.
Hyuk's son didn't seem happy with the way things were resolved. His father had lost composure.
Something a ruler should never, EVER show…
"Now the Namgong Clan of Sword Users will try taking revenge. Are you fine with this?" Hyuk was unable to hear his son's criticism, and felt guilty for the whole matter regarding one of his many lovers.
"This is the third time…" He wondered why his lovers and children kept on dying beyond his sight.
Because of these crimes, those who wanted to see him dead increased… His offsprings were hit first.
The son, who was many years less experienced than Hyuk, looked at his father… then spoke:
"Are you going to continue like this?"
"…Like what?"
"My father is a smart and capable individual. If not, it wouldn't have been easy to 'collect' so many lovers with the little time you get to spend with them." The current ruler dismissed his servants.
His age didn't seem much higher than 15.
The imperial robes and hat seemed big for the youth's body, but his eyes seemed intelligent.
So much so that… even Hyuk felt creeped out.
This was when the Harem King had understood that he hadn't 'seduced' others, he had corrupted them with his affection and passionate nights. He had made so many of them slaves to his goodwill.
But it was too late to regret now.
He had an obligation to the lovers that were spread across the empire, and even out of his reaches.
The handsome conquerer found his own solution.
[Pandemos has entered the chat.]
[Pandemos: "And what was it~?"]
Hyuk was awoken from his reminisce by a message that appeared before him. It was a familiar person.
"You were reading my mind?"
[Pandemos: "Shouldn't I?"]
"No… I'd given that permission. There's nothing I can say." The Martial King raised his hands.
[Pandemos: "Then continue your story. How did you solve everything? Kill everyone who's evil?"]
"Isn't that a violent solution?"
[Pandemos: "Oh… Ahem… My bad. You're right that it's violent…. What was your peaceful tactic?"]
"Seduce everyone." Hyuk whipped out one of the alcohol bottles he'd hidden in the draw and sipped.
Making sure he didn't take in too much at once.
[Pandemos: "…Everyone?"]
"All men, women, and even the elderly. You can't fight each other to the death if you're all in-laws."
[Pandemos: "That's… amazing~! This is the reason I chose you. You're way to interesting and crazy."]
"…Right." He admitted that the idea itself wasn't sane. However, he'd managed to pull it off.
The biggest contributor being his 'Heavenly Touch of Earthly Satisfaction'. That technique was useful.
Since he only had a limited time trying to please everyone, and he didn't want to have sex with men.
He was still totally straight, after all.
Just the thought of sexually touching a man made his stomach churn, with Sebas being an exception.
That guy was too cute.
Was that gay of him? Probably, but that wasn't the point. He managed to captivate an entire society.
Putting key figures under his own influence.
[Pandemos: "Then why come here?"]
With that question came a much heavier sip of the alcohol. Hyuk managed to squeeze out an answer:
"Because it became too much for me. On top of that, a tragedy I don't want to remember occurred."
[Pandemos: "Which was?"]
*CLACK*
A loud thump of the bottle being placed on the desk surprised the Goddess, he smiled at her.
"You know… There was a lot of techniques in my world. Everyone knew a fist art or sword move."
[Pandemos: "…Sounds interesting."]
She didn't pursue the matter of forcefully changing the subject. He didn't seem ready to talk about it.
"Among the Demonic Arts, there are techniques used to captivate and capture people as slaves."
[Pandemos: "That doesn't seem like a nice place."]
"Honestly… it wasn't that great. You're right. The more I live here, the more my world seems insane."
[Pandemos: "Is this what you wanted to tell me?"]
"Don't try rushing me. I'm just getting to the good part. Ahem…" He cleared his throat and continued:
"There were many geniuses of specific Arts. All great enough to tailor their own battle techniques."
[Pandemos: "You mean Demonic Arts too?"]
"Especially them. There was this truly insane technique the current Heavenly Demon of the Ming Cult created in my image. She called it the 'Heart Capture' Demonic Art." Hyuk started smiling more.
But the intent behind those curved lips were dark and self-loathing. His eyes filled with regret.
The bottle suddenly smashed as he fell into a rage.
"WHY?! Why did I have to create a stupid harem in the first place! Did I NEED to indulge so much…? I could have stopped her…! I COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING!" His eyes became a bit delirious.
He couldn't see the messages anymore, as his eyes turned towards the slightly open curtain.
His eyes making contact with the woman behind it.
"Sto-!" Before she could finish exclaiming, a hand clasped her throat like an iron claw and strangled.
Demonic Qi had turned Hyuk's gentle eyes crazy.
They were wide in fury while looking at SS06.
"You remind me a lot about that bitch. She's the only one in the world I just want to behead." The blade on his waist started to look much more dangerous at that moment. His Tao Heart shook.
But he managed to let go of her neck…
SS06 gasped. She could finally breath, but she knew the danger had yet to completely subside.
She unconsciously manifested her personal Spirit Essence, which was a revolver and chokutō.
Her style seemingly similar to Iaido…
The girl's breath was unsteady. She knew that victory was impossible. He was way too strong.
And yet, she would struggle violently anyway.
After having escaped from hell, there was nothing she wouldn't do to spend more time with her oasis.
The only person who could make her happy.
"Sorry… I'd accidentally started venting. You didn't deserve being at the other end of it." Hyuk patted her head serenely. As if the previous display of heaven incinerating fury was just an illusion.
"…What do you want?"
"No. I should be asking what YOU want." A power beyond magical energy influenced her mind.
The Divinity from Pandemos applied to her.
SS06 suddenly had cloudy eyes. Something was being dragged out from deep within her soul.
What was her 'Deepest Desire'?
Maybe before he applied it, she would have answered that she wanted Adam's attention.
That she'd get it by any means necessary.
But instead, she spoke something else:
"I want to be loved." That was the only thing she ever wanted after escaping her tormenting life.
Someone to hug and affectionately care for her.
Tears started falling down her cheeks upon having this realisation. She was hit by enlightenment.
What this entailed would only show itself in the future, when she'd fully understood her feelings.
At this particular moment, it was still incomplete.
Regardless, Hyuk had planted a seed inside her heart. With it, he could rest easy about her intent.
Now, she wouldn't ever hurt Adam's loved ones.
He had made sure of that personally.
"You probably don't know… So let me tell you more about the target of your affection, and about 'love' in general. You'd probably hadn't been taught, so I'll tell you myself." He started talking for a while.
Time passed by slowly…
It was almost an hour until 'they' arrived, so he stopped and walked out to let her digest it all.
SS06 looked like a completely different person when he'd finished teaching her all sorts of things.
Maybe because she was partly a Qarinah Succubus, but she understood many things easily.
Ready to apply whatever he had taught her.
She looked at the open door and pondered on the things she'd heard. Eyes having become mature.
Able to finally walk of the room herself.
