I Became The Necromancer In The Post-Apocalyptic Zombie World

Chapter 18

—–CROW—– 

“Hmm hmm~”

I hummed a tune, driving the van back to the department store.  One hand on the wheel, the other kneading Oh Na-yeon’s thigh.  I’d been fondling her breasts, thighs, and pussy whenever I felt like it, and now she just stared blankly out the window with vacant eyes.

‘How many days should I starve those bastards?’

I toyed with her soft thigh, lost in pleasant thoughts.

A while ago…

Kim Seok-ho and Seong Ho-soo, after seeing my face… their reactions were completely opposite.

“You fucking bastard!! Was this all planned?! Huh?! Trapping us here!! Coming to us with that offer!!”

Seong Ho-soo roared at me, consumed by rage.

*Bang!*

His fist slammed against the container wall with a loud thud.  His face was red, his eyes wide, glaring at me as if he wanted to kill me.  But he didn’t come any closer. He was afraid of getting caught by the zombies.

And on the other hand, Kim Seok-ho…

“I-I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Seo-ho. P-Please forgive me. I’m truly reflecting on my actions…! Please…!”

The grown man was on his knees, sobbing and begging for mercy.

‘As expected, the subordinate is smarter.’

Seong Ho-soo was a hard worker, but he was also hot-headed and lost his mind when agitated. That’s probably why Kang Hae-seok paired him with Kim Seok-ho.  Kim Seok-ho, despite being clumsy, was quick to grasp the situation.

‘You’re pathetic.’

Judging by his attitude, if Kim Seok-ho had been trapped alone, I might have shown him some mercy.  He was begging so pathetically.  I crouched down to meet his gaze.  Then, I looked at him with pity.

“You have terrible luck with your superiors.  Instead of begging with you, he’s just yelling. Haha.”

Kim Seok-ho’s face hardened at my words, and he turned to look at Seong Ho-soo with a trembling body.  I didn’t know what kind of look he gave him, but judging by the twitch in Seong Ho-soo’s enraged face, it must have been filled with resentment.

“Anyway, enough of that. Both of you, take off your clothes.”

I stood up and spoke to the two dumbfounded men.

“W-Why should we take off our clothes…?”

Kim Seok-ho looked up at me with trembling eyes.  I gave him a cold stare and said quietly,

“Or do you want to die now?”

I aimed the loaded K2 at him.

“Hieek!”

His face drained of color, and Kim Seok-ho hurriedly started taking off his clothes.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to join him?”

“…Kuh.”

Seong Ho-soo, finally grasping the situation, suppressed his anger and started undressing with a grimace.

The reason for stripping them was simple.  I didn’t know what kind of weapons they might be hiding.  If they had a grenade, they might try to take me down with them.

“H-Here…”

Kim Seok-ho neatly folded his and his superior’s clothes and carefully pushed them through the bars.  He still seemed to believe I’d spare him if he obeyed, forcing a smile as he looked at me.  It was almost pitiful.

‘What’s the point? You tried to kill me.’

Twice, even.  Once during the rebellion, and again when they pursued me.  They weren’t just planning to find the location of the food.  They were going to kill me after finding out where I was getting the large quantities of food.

Perhaps that’s why I didn’t feel any sympathy for Kim Seok-ho, despite his pathetic smile.  At least he hadn’t been beaten yet.  They spat on me even after I bowed my head and got kicked.  Asking for mercy after all that seemed shameless.

“Well then, good luck. I’ll be going now.”

“W-Wait! Seo-ho! Don’t do this! Let’s talk a little more! Please?!”

As I gathered their clothes and turned to leave, Kim Seok-ho desperately called out to me.  The sight of a naked man wailing from inside a cage was quite amusing.

“Talk about what? Since when were we on talking terms?”

I scoffed at them and turned my back.

“Hey! You fucking bastard!! You’re just going to leave us here?!”

“Oh, I’m so scared. Sergeant Seong is so scary, I can’t stay here any longer. I’ll be going now.  Come visit if you feel like it.”

I turned around, waved, and casually walked away between the zombies.

“Seo-ho!! Don’t go!! Seo-ho!!”

Kim Seok-ho’s wails from behind made my steps lighter.

‘How many days should be enough…’

I wasn’t going to starve them to death right away, of course.  But seeing Seong Ho-soo still full of rage, I thought they needed more training.  They needed to learn who held their lives in his hands.

‘Controlled by a single meal.’

The thought of the two of them reduced to begging dogs on a leash made me laugh.

“━!! …━!!”

As I left the warehouse, I heard two men yelling from the container.  They were probably arguing, blaming each other.

‘That’s to be expected.’

I’d intended for that to happen.  It would have been troublesome if they worked together and relied on each other.  They might even come up with an escape plan.  So, while talking to them, I subtly emphasized Seong Ho-soo’s mistakes to Kim Seok-ho. I even made it seem like I was leaving because of Seong Ho-soo’s outburst.  They were probably fighting about that.

‘Now, shall I enjoy a special treat?’

I’d finished the main course; all that was left was the dessert I’d been looking forward to.

***

“Get out.”

The van, after driving for a while, skillfully navigated the zombie-free roads and entered a large parking lot.

‘…This is…’

The place was familiar to Oh Na-yeon.  The S Department Store, the largest in Seoul.  She’d dined with Han Ji-ho at the restaurant on the 8th floor and watched movies at the cinema on the top floor.  And it was also the place most frequently mentioned among the soldiers at the dormitory recently.  The place rumored to have a massive amount of food left.

‘This man… he got the food from here.’

She’d wondered why he’d given up so much food just to take one woman.  Now, the mystery was solved.

‘His voice… sounds familiar.’

He’d been silent at the dormitory, but after they got in the van, he’d started talking to her in a lewd voice.  He’d also groped her and spoken to her in that same voice at the warehouse.  She was sure she’d heard that voice before.

‘I have to find a chance to escape…!’

Oh Na-yeon shuddered, remembering the moment she was molested.  She didn’t know what would happen to her here during the next week.  He was a man who’d traded a large amount of food just to have a woman.  He might even be a pervert who enjoyed sexual torture.

‘But… but how?’

The area around the department store was swarming with zombies, as she’d seen from the van.  Even if she managed to untie her hands and escape, she wasn’t confident she could survive outside.

‘…Ji-ho.’

Desperate, Oh Na-yeon shed tears, thinking of her boyfriend.

“Ah! Mister!”

As she followed the man inside the department store, she heard a woman’s voice.  Startled, Oh Na-yeon looked up.

‘…Wow, she’s beautiful.’

Oh Na-yeon’s first impression of Yoo Ha-yeon was surprise.  Perhaps it was because of her neat appearance in this zombie apocalypse. No, even aside from that, Yoo Ha-yeon was strikingly beautiful.  She smiled brightly and embraced the unidentified man as he entered the department store.  They looked like a loving couple.

“Is that her?”

“Yes.”

Yoo Ha-yeon also seemed to notice Oh Na-yeon.  Seeing the beautiful Yoo Ha-yeon, Oh Na-yeon thought she might have found someone to help her.

“Mmm━! Mmm━!”

She tried to yell, despite her gagged mouth.  Yoo Ha-yeon and the man seemed to be on very good terms.  And Yoo Ha-yeon seemed like a normal person.  A normal person might take pity on her and ask the man to help.  But…

“Hmm… *Chuwp, chup*.”

The man removed his mask and moved his face towards Yoo Ha-yeon, and she… blushed and started kissing him.

‘…No way.’

Oh Na-yeon’s hopes crumbled. The man kissed Yoo Ha-yeon and started kneading her buttocks.  The man was clearly in control.  Yoo Ha-yeon didn’t resist at all.  Instead, she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her breasts against him, seemingly pleased.

“Well then, since this is where you’ll be staying for a while, let’s introduce ourselves.”

After the kiss, the man, having thoroughly groped Yoo Ha-yeon’s buttocks, turned to Oh Na-yeon and grinned.  He then took off his sunglasses and hat.

“…Gasp.”

Oh Na-yeon gasped in shock, recognizing the man’s face.

“Oh, you recognize me? I’m glad.”

The unidentified man was Lee Seo-ho.  The man they’d used and abused, the man the soldiers had taken away and supposedly killed.

‘B-But I heard he was dead…’

She’d heard the soldiers had confirmed he’d been bitten by a zombie.  And yet, here he was, alive and well.

“Uncomfortable? I’ll untie you soon.”

As she stared at him in shock, Lee Seo-ho approached her with a gentle smile.  To her surprise, he untied her hands and removed the gag from her mouth, taking out the cloth that had been stuffed inside.

“Y-You… you’re alive?”

“Want to touch me? See if I’m warm or cold?”

Responding to Oh Na-yeon’s stunned question, Lee Seo-ho stepped closer and placed his hand on her shoulder.  His other hand naturally moved towards her crotch.

“N-No! Stop it!”

Oh Na-yeon swatted his hand away and recoiled, wrapping her arms around herself protectively and glaring at him.

“I have a boyfriend. …And besides, you already have a woman to satisfy your needs!”

She pointed at Yoo Ha-yeon, who was watching them blankly from behind Lee Seo-ho.  She’d thought he’d brought her here because he didn’t have a woman.  But he already had a much prettier woman at his disposal.

‘Then why me…?’

Oh Na-yeon glared at Lee Seo-ho, filled with questions. Perhaps he wouldn’t touch her for the entire week.  If his purpose wasn’t to rape her…  She might be able to keep her virginity.  Having come to that conclusion, Oh Na-yeon was determined to resist his advances.  She’d even run out of the department store if she had to.

‘That’s what you’re thinking, right?’

And Lee Seo-ho already knew what she was thinking.  She was a woman who treasured her virginity, even refusing her own boyfriend.  She’d hate to have it taken away like this, after being sold like a prostitute.

‘Of course, that wouldn’t be any fun for me either.’

Lee Seo-ho grinned at Oh Na-yeon, who was glaring at him.  

He could easily rape her if he wanted to.  

But that wasn’t enough.  

That wasn’t the kind of revenge he wanted.

***

After untying Oh Na-yeon, I shrugged and said,

“You can refuse if you don’t want to.”

“……What?”

Oh Na-yeon looked surprised.  She knew what price I’d paid to bring her here.  He was giving up on her just because she said she didn’t want to?  She seemed quite flustered.  Perhaps she’d expected me to force myself on her.

“Ah~ I’m hungry. Ha-yeon, shall we eat?”

“I’ll get it ready right away!”

I acted as if I had no interest in Oh Na-yeon.  Of course, taking her virginity by force would be fun in its own way, but…

‘That would give her an excuse, and that’s no fun.’

She could claim she was forced, giving both her and Han Ji-ho an excuse.  That wasn’t the outcome I wanted.

“Let’s go, you must be hungry too.”

“…….”

I gestured to Oh Na-yeon, who was looking at me strangely.  She looked suspicious.

‘Of course, she’d be suspicious.’

And her suspicion was correct.  But her questions wouldn’t last long.

*Sizzle…*

A sound I’d heard recently, but one she probably hadn’t heard in months.  The sound of meat grilling on a hot plate.

“…Th-That’s…”

The tantalizing sizzle and the irresistible aroma of pork filled the air.  I was grilling the meat near the connecting passage between the third floor and the parking lot to prevent the smell from clinging to the furniture.  It was quite far from where we were staying.

*Gulp.*

Oh Na-yeon, who had been glaring at me just moments ago, as if ready to bite me if I touched her, now stared at the grilling pork belly, completely captivated.

“Hungry?”

I asked, holding the tongs.  Oh Na-yeon’s eyes lit up as she looked at me.  She must have been starving.  Even the soldiers were struggling with reduced rations, so there was no way the civilians, who were lower in the hierarchy, were getting enough to eat.

As if on cue, her stomach growled.

*Growl…*

“…Uuh.”

Embarrassed by the sound, Oh Na-yeon blushed and covered her stomach.

“It’s okay. I understand.  I starved with you, remember?”

“…….”

I comforted her gently, and Oh Na-yeon looked at me with a hint of gratitude.  Then, she looked expectant.  My tone must have sounded friendly.  Despite her hostility towards me, she seemed to be hoping I’d share the delicious-looking pork belly with her.  Meeting her expectations, I smiled gently and extended my hand.

“Here, eat up.  You must be hungry.”

I offered her a can of tuna.

“Huh?  W-Wait…!”

Oh Na-yeon looked at the can of tuna, then at me and the grilling pork belly, flustered.  She seemed too proud to ask for what she really wanted.

“Hmm~ Mister, you’re so good at grilling.”

“Is it good?”

“Yes!”

While she hesitated, Yoo Ha-yeon happily ate the pork belly wrapped in fresh lettuce with rice.

“Mister, ah~.”

“*Chew, chew*.”

She fed me a wrap, and we started enjoying the meal.

Her empty stomach. The single can of tuna in her hand.  And the two of us enjoying a feast before her eyes.  The scene, her hunger, and her spirit worn down by months of deprivation were enough to break her pride.

“…Please.”

“*Chew, chew*… What?”

Finally, Oh Na-yeon, her head bowed and shoulders trembling, spoke with difficulty.

“C-Can I… have some too… please?”

‘She gave in so easily.’

I savored the meat in my mouth and chuckled at how quickly she’d caved.  I’d thought she’d hold out for at least a day.

“I-I’ll clean, cook, do laundry, a-any chores…! J-Just give me a little, please?”

“Why? I already gave you food.”

I pointed at the can of tuna I’d given her.

“That’s precious too.”

“B-But…!”

Unsatisfied with the canned tuna, Oh Na-yeon looked at me with teary eyes.  Meeting her gaze, I shook my head.

“Sorry, but this meat is really precious.”

In this zombie apocalypse, with the power out, refrigeration systems were down, making fresh meat a rare luxury.  My words carried weight.

“This is something I can only share with my woman.”

“Oh, Mister…”

I put my arm around Yoo Ha-yeon’s shoulders, and she blushed, touching my cheek.  Oh Na-yeon fell silent and lowered her head at my words.  She knew fresh pork belly wasn’t something you could find easily.

“Well, it’s not like there’s no other way.”

“W-What is it?”

As I spoke, as if offering her a generous concession, Oh Na-yeon’s eyes lit up.  I leaned closer and whispered in her ear,

“I’ll share if you give me a handjob.”

“Ugh…!  Y-You’re just…!”

Oh Na-yeon pushed me away, her face red, and glared at me again.

“Just what? Why else would I share this precious food with you?”

I spoke confidently, unfazed by her glare.

“Have you forgotten how much food I gave up to bring you here?  You should be grateful for that can of tuna.”

Oh Na-yeon couldn’t refute my words.  

I’d given up a lot of food just to bring her here.  And she’d refused to sleep with me.  And now she was shamelessly begging for meat.

“…Ugh.”

Oh Na-yeon could only glare at me with teary eyes.

‘Is this enough?’

Thinking the preparations were complete, I smiled gently and said,

“And think about it… Did I ask you to spread your legs? Just a handjob.”

“…What?”

Her eyes wavered at my whispered words.

“We’ve already been intimate in the van. What’s so wrong with touching my cock?”

*Sizzle…*

*Gulp.*

The sound of Yoo Ha-yeon grilling more pork belly made Oh Na-yeon’s mouth clamp shut, as if trying to hold back her drool.  The more she tried to resist, the more her eyes wavered.

“You can get this precious pork belly just by jerking me off a few times.  …Wouldn’t it be foolish to refuse?”

Oh Na-yeon clenched her fists.  She seemed unable to make up her mind, as if something was holding her back.  I knew what it was, so I added,

“If I were your boyfriend, I wouldn’t resent you for something like this just to fill your stomach.  I’d understand.”

Oh Na-yeon’s eyes stopped wavering, and she looked at me with determination.

…

“Ah… that’s right.  Stroke it a little harder.”

“…….”

“Tsk, I could do this for you too, Mister.”

I leaned back in the chair, my head resting against Yoo Ha-yeon’s breasts, as Oh Na-yeon started jerking me off.

“…Haa… sob…”

Holding my cock in her small hands, Oh Na-yeon blushed, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, Ji-ho…”

She cried, calling out her boyfriend’s name, consumed by guilt.

‘It’s a bit early to be apologizing.’

I sat up and moved closer to Oh Na-yeon, who was stroking my cock. I reached out and fondled her breast.

“Kyaa! W-What are you doing?!”

“What does it look like? I’m helping you, since it seems like you’re having trouble making me cum.”

“T-The deal was only with your hands!”

“Who said anything? I’m just touching your breasts. Don’t you want to eat the meat?”

“…Sob…”

Oh Na-yeon grimaced and resumed stroking my cock.

“Uh… haa…”

As I started fondling her breasts, soft moans escaped her lips.

‘Her nipples are already hard.’

“Hiek!”

I slipped my hand inside her top and cupped her bare breast, teasing her hardened nipple between my thumb and forefinger.

“Haa! W-Wait! Stop…!”

“Hurry up.  I have to cum for you to eat. Do you want to eat cold meat?”

*Stroke, stroke, stroke.*

At my words and the stimulation of her nipple, Oh Na-yeon started stroking faster.  She was definitely putting more effort into it now, which felt better.

‘And that glare…’

After being with Yoo Ha-yeon, who always looked at me with affection, getting a handjob from a woman who glared at me was a novel experience.

“Kuh, I’m cumming!”

Finally, overwhelmed by pleasure, I grabbed Oh Na-yeon’s nipple and came.

*Spurt, spurt.*

“Haaah!”

A moan escaped Oh Na-yeon’s lips as her nipple was pinched.

“Then… are we done now?”

Oh Na-yeon wiped her hand roughly and looked at me with teary eyes.  She wanted the meat she’d been promised.

“Mmm, *chup, churp*.”

I had Yoo Ha-yeon clean my cum-covered cock and then offered Oh Na-yeon the promised meat.  I picked up a piece with my chopsticks.

“Here, eat.”

“…What?”

Her face was filled with confusion.

“What, did you think you’d get all the meat? For just one handjob?”

“B-But! That wasn’t the deal! You said I could eat if I…!”

“I’m giving it to you now, aren’t I? You don’t want it?”

Oh Na-yeon’s face was a mixture of frustration, disappointment, and despair.  She seemed unable to believe she’d endured such humiliation for just one piece of meat.

“You can refuse if you don’t want it.”

“W-Wait…!”

But after all that, it would be a waste to give up even this small piece of meat.  So, Oh Na-yeon opened her trembling mouth and ate the meat.

“…Haa…”

And her face instantly brightened.

‘She must be in disbelief.’

I must have had the same expression when I first grilled and ate the meat after acquiring Recycling.  For her, who’d been surviving on meager rations and canned food, this single piece of meat must have tasted extraordinary.

The piece of meat quickly disappeared down her throat.  She then looked at the grilling pork belly with hungry eyes.

“Now, shall we move on to the next step?”

“…….”

Oh Na-yeon looked at me with a questioning look at my sudden words.  I smiled at her, showing her my now-hard cock, cleaned by Yoo Ha-yeon’s mouth.

“I’ll give you more if you give me a blowjob this time.”

“…….”

Oh Na-yeon’s eyes wavered again.  Her hungry stomach.  The unsatisfying meal.  But she’d tasted the meat.

‘And she’s already touched me with her hands.’

There was a sales technique called “foot-in-the-door.”  You start with a small request and gradually escalate, eventually achieving your goal.

‘How long will it take?’

From a handjob to opening her legs.  To begging me to fuck her.  I smiled at the anticipation, watching Oh Na-yeon’s wavering eyes with amusement.

‘I’ll enjoy your virgin girlfriend, Ji-ho.’

And I thought about him, probably starving at the dormitory, thinking about his girlfriend.
