I Became The Necromancer In The Post-Apocalyptic Zombie World

Chapter 9

—–CROW—– 

“Haa, haa, …Mister♥”

With the lingering afterglow of climax, Yoo Ha-yeon, nestled in my arms, exhaled deeply and caressed my chest with hazy eyes.

I lay in bed, holding her close with one arm.

I gazed into space, kneading her breast with my embracing arm.

‘…Pregnancy, and Enhancement?’

Even as I was inside her, a message appeared.

Apparently, my bodily fluids had been absorbed beyond a certain threshold, granting her undead traits.

And then, this message, after I’d cum inside her womb.

‘So, I can choose whether she gets pregnant?’

I chuckled.

That meant I could cum inside her as much as I wanted without worrying about pregnancy, all without a condom.

Or, it meant I could get her pregnant with my child whenever I pleased.

And more importantly…

[ Enhancement ]

‘Enhancement, huh…’

It probably meant exactly what it said.

I didn’t know what exactly it would enhance, but the meaning of this message…

And the message about her gaining undead traits from my fluids.

Specifically, she’d been granted [Pain Reduction] as an undead trait.

So, I could give special abilities to the women I had sex with?

‘There’s no need to hesitate, I have to try Enhancement.’

Pregnancy was out of the question in the current situation, and it would be a waste to do nothing.

This message might only appear the first time I cum inside someone.

Without hesitation, I pressed the [Enhancement] button.

━*Ding.*

[You have selected Enhancement for ‘Yoo Ha-yeon’.]

[‘Yoo Ha-yeon’ has absorbed your bodily fluids and has become your Servant.]

[First Servant Perk: Increased Roulette probability.]

[Initiating Trait Roulette.]

A flurry of messages flashed before my eyes before disappearing, and soon the final message appeared.

[Enhancement complete. Servant ‘Yoo Ha-yeon’ has manifested the trait ‘Physical Enhancement (S)’.]

[Due to acquiring a Servant, the ‘Servant Menu’ has been activated.]

‘Servant Menu?’

It seemed like a new status window had opened, similar to the previously locked skill window.

I immediately activated the Servant Menu.

Yoo Ha-yeon’s name appeared alone in the empty window that popped up.

I tapped her name, and the screen transitioned, displaying various details about her.

[ Name: Yoo Ha-yeon

Trait: Physical Enhancement (S)

Servant Progress: 5%

Affection for Master Lee Seo-ho: 70%

Current Status: Asleep, Dependent, Hungry, Tired ]

Her traits and various other stats were listed there.

‘70% affection for me… Higher than I expected.’

Of course, I didn’t have a baseline for what 70% meant.

Still, it was above 50%.

Considering this was the first time we’d met face-to-face, I thought it was quite high.

Especially since I’d practically coerced her into sex.

It seemed I’d managed to gain some affection from her.

And the various statuses listed under her current condition.

Among them, “Asleep.”

Looking at Yoo Ha-yeon nestled in my arms, she was indeed asleep with her face buried in my chest.

From the first time I saw her, her face had been etched with anxiety and despair, and even during sex, it was only filled with pain or the excitement of pleasure.

Seeing her sleeping so soundly now, I realized anew how beautiful she was.

‘…Shouldn’t I really make her a celebrity?’

She was more beautiful than even the center-stage, flagship idols in various video media.

Plus, her breasts looked to be at least a G-cup.

‘To think I had sex with a girl like this.’

And it was my first time.

Moreover, she was a virgin, and I came inside her without any protection from the start.

Afterward, she fell asleep in my arms as if her soul had left her body.

Her warm body temperature and soft skin.

Plus, she smelled good.

I moved my hand resting on her breast and fondled them freely.

I grabbed them, stroked them, feeling their elasticity, and even played with her nipples between my thumb and index finger.

“…Hmm, haa…”

In response, a blush crept onto her sleeping face.

“She’s really sensitive there.”

Even though she was fast asleep, it was cute how she moaned like a child when I teased her nipples.

‘…Should I get some sleep too?’

I wanted to have sex with her two or three more times, but even I wasn’t that much of a scumbag.

Mentally and physically exhausted, she’d accepted my cock to survive and had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

I should let her rest now.

And so, my first time came to an end, with various benefits and the happy slumber in Yoo Ha-yeon’s sweet embrace.

***

I opened my eyes to morning.

“Ah, …are you awake?”

Greeting me with a good morning were large breasts and a pretty face beyond them.

And a soft touch on my head.

Yoo Ha-yeon, having changed clothes at some point, had laid me on her thigh and was gently stroking my hair.

‘This is the best.’

Some might say this world had turned into hell.

But for me, this moment was the happiest of my entire life.

“I’m sorry…. I was going to prepare breakfast, but I couldn’t touch the food without your permission….”

As I sat up, she apologized with a regretful look.

“No, it’s fine. I brought it for you to eat anyway.”

“R-Really?”

She smiled softly, seemingly relieved by my answer.

Looking around, the room felt a bit tidier than yesterday.

And despite being hungry, she still sought my permission.

‘She has a good attitude.’

Perhaps she was worried I’d run away after having sex with her.

“Hit and run” was a common story even before the zombie apocalypse, after all.

From the perspective of a woman who’d already accepted a man’s penis, there wasn’t much she could do afterward.

Just do her best not to be abandoned.

Of course, I had no intention of abandoning her.

Yoo Ha-yeon had infinite value, both as a woman and as a slave.

I then selected some of the food I’d brought and prepared breakfast.

It was a simple and modest meal.

“I-Is it okay for me to eat this much?”

“It’s okay. Don’t hold back.”

This much would probably be a feast for Yoo Ha-yeon, who hadn’t eaten a full meal since the zombie outbreak.

“But with this amount, we could last three more days….”

“I said don’t hold back. There are plenty of ways to get food. And this is my way of showing trust.”

“A sign of trust…?”

“We’ll be together from now on, so it means I can share my food with you freely.”

My words filled Yoo Ha-yeon’s eyes with emotion.

“M-Mister….”

To her, who must have been constantly anxious about being abandoned, a warm word of togetherness.

On top of that, sharing precious food as proof.

Tears welled up in Yoo Ha-yeon’s eyes and streamed down her cheeks.

“D-Don’t cry! It’s good news, why are you crying?!”

“B-But…, sniff, I’m so grateful….”

She lowered her head, wiping her tears with trembling hands.

“I’m… sniff, useless, I don’t know if I deserve this….”

She seemed to think of herself as worthless, stuck at home and unable to do anything.

Well, getting food was a life-or-death matter.

And in this apocalypse, food was the most important thing.

I was just planning to give her a carrot after giving her so many sticks.

But the effect was greater than I’d expected.

━*Ding.*

[Yoo Ha-yeon’s affection has increased.]

Judging by the message, she seemed quite moved, enough to increase her affection.

“Useless? Why would you be useless?”

There’s always a way to use something if you want to.

I kept my inner thoughts to myself and gently stroked Yoo Ha-yeon’s head.

She then smiled shyly, tears still in her eyes.

‘Now, let’s proceed as planned.’

After breakfast, I decided to carry out my original objective of finding survivors.

That was to enhance the crystal.

But before that, several things needed to be sorted out.

While I was immune to zombies, Yoo Ha-yeon wasn’t.

‘There wasn’t anything specific mentioned in the Servant’s traits either.’

If there were, it would have stated that she wouldn’t be targeted by the undead, like me.

Therefore, preparations were needed.

That meant the horde of zombies in the department store where Yoo Ha-yeon would be staying.

It would be too cumbersome to go back and forth between her studio apartment and the department store.

I planned to have her stay at the department store.

‘Originally, I wasn’t planning to bring just anyone in.’

But Yoo Ha-yeon was my first slave, and we shared my first experience.

So, I decided to clear out the zombies from the department store’s parking lot entrance up to the bedding section.

“I’ll be back.”

I briefly explained to Yoo Ha-yeon that I was going to look for food.

As I was about to leave the room, she grabbed the edge of my sleeve with an anxious look.

It seemed she hadn’t built up enough trust yet.

She mostly seemed worried about being abandoned.

“It’s okay. Zombies aren’t much of a threat to me. I’ll definitely be back, so rest easy.”

“W-When will you be back?”

“Well…, I’ll be back in a day or two.”

I planned to return in three days.

Yoo Ha-yeon was undoubtedly mine now, but I thought she needed more training.

Training about the possibility of losing me.

The anxiety of possibly being abandoned would further fuel her obsession with me.

Slaves needed that kind of obsession.

So they wouldn’t betray me if something unexpected happened.

Therefore, I planned to return later than I’d told her.

“Be careful…!”

Yoo Ha-yeon saw me off with a worried look as I left the room.

‘Now, let’s get to work.’

***

My task wasn’t particularly complicated.

Yoo Ha-yeon could take care of the detailed living arrangements in the department store after she arrived.

The important thing was ensuring she wouldn’t be hindered by zombies on her way to the department store.

And once she arrived, the route from the parking lot to the third floor was crucial.

It wouldn’t do if she got bitten by a zombie.

“Phew, is this enough?”

Moving the zombies was time-consuming but not particularly difficult.

Since she would be traveling by car to the parking lot, the main areas to clear were the third-floor parking area and the entire third floor of the department store.

This S Department Store was the largest in the area, with a separate parking structure.

Each floor of the parking structure was connected to the department store by bridges.

I left the zombies on the other floors for security and focused on clearing the third floor.

“Hmm….  Will she like this kind of food?”

After finishing the clearing, I packed some suitable food into my backpack.

Since she was my first slave and we shared my first time, I wanted to give her something tasty.

Although, since it had to be long-lasting, the options were limited.

Having finished all the preparations, I checked the Servant Menu before leaving.

[ Name: Yoo Ha-yeon

Trait: Physical Enhancement (S)

Servant Progress: 5%

Affection for Master Lee Seo-ho: 72%

Current Status: Dependent, Anxious, Despair, Delusional ]

‘…This is serious.’

Of course, it was intentional, but if it weren’t for the zombie apocalypse, she’d need immediate psychiatric treatment.

What could I do? After the carrot, the stick was necessary for training.

Moreover, I was now bringing her into the department store, which was entirely my territory.

Slave training had to be thorough.

Having finished organizing the department store, I leisurely walked back to Yoo Ha-yeon’s studio apartment.

━*Knock, knock.*

I knocked on the door using the prearranged pattern, and I heard hurried footsteps approaching from inside.

*Bang!*

“…━Mister!!”

As soon as the door opened, Yoo Ha-yeon rushed towards me and threw herself into my arms.

“Sniff, why are you so late! You said you’d be back in two days! Sob, I was worried!”

Yoo Ha-yeon cried, burying her face in my chest.

“Sorry, I had something to take care of, and it took longer than expected.”

“I-I thought something bad happened to you, sob…”

It seemed she’d thought about me dying rather than her being abandoned.

‘Her trust in me is higher than I thought.’

Well, in her desperate situation, the thought of being abandoned must have been unbearable.

Anyway, the goal was to show her the anxiety of my absence, so I’d achieved my objective.

“Hey, Ha-yeon.”

“……Sniff, yes?”

After calming down in my arms for a moment, Yoo Ha-yeon looked up at me at my call.

Training was good, but it was time to start the important work.

“I’ve been thinking, how about we move to a different place?”

“What… what do you mean?”

“The place I mentioned before, the one I found. Let’s go there together.”

Yoo Ha-yeon’s eyes widened at my words.

“M-Me too?”

As I’d expected, she seemed anxious about leaving this room and moving to a different location, her face filled with fear.

“Don’t worry. I’ve prepared a safe way to get there.”

“…….”

Yoo Ha-yeon didn’t answer right away.

She seemed hesitant.

Leaving this place would increase the risk of death.

“C-Can’t we just stay here? I think we can manage here too….”

She then voiced her opposition to my suggestion.

‘This won’t do.’

She clearly wasn’t trained enough yet.

I didn’t need a slave who opposed my suggestions. And I didn’t need a slave who didn’t trust me when I said it was okay.

It seemed I needed to show her what happened to such slaves.

“Alright, then it can’t be helped.”

I nodded and pushed Yoo Ha-yeon away from my embrace, holding her shoulders.

She smiled, relieved by my seemingly agreeable demeanor, but…

“I’ll have to leave you behind.”

My following words instantly turned her smile into despair.

“M-Mister…! You’re joking, right? Please, don’t do that! If you leave me…!”

“But you don’t trust me, do you? I clearly said it was safe.”

“S-Still…!”

“Right, no matter how safe it is, there’s always a chance of something happening.”

I nodded as if understanding.

“So, this is where we part ways. I can’t trust someone who doesn’t trust me.”

The story I’d told her earlier about being betrayed.

I’d already shown her how much I valued trust.

It was the first condition I’d stated before we slept together.

Realizing this, Yoo Ha-yeon’s face turned pale, and she clung to me with trembling eyes.

“I-I’m sorry, Mister! I was wrong! I made a mistake! Sniff, p-please don’t leave me…!”

“Then will you do as I say?”

“Yes…! I’ll do whatever you say! Sniff, everything you tell me to… everything…!”

Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded with me, her eyes filled with despair.

Good, this should be enough.

I’d shown her that what I gave were not suggestions but commands.

And that refusing them meant being abandoned.

A child who gave the right answer deserved praise.

I smiled and stroked Yoo Ha-yeon’s hair as she cried.

“Don’t cry. If you just listen to me, I’ll protect you. Don’t worry.”

“Okay…. Sniff, I’ll listen, I’ll do everything you say…!”

“Good. Then let’s get ready. We’re moving to a new home.”

Yoo Ha-yeon sniffled and nodded at my smiling words.

Now, let’s take my cute slave to my sweet home.
