Disguised Fortune

"I'm glad you remembered I'm a doctor. I've been waiting for you." Hyuk had opened the door.

The room was spacious enough for him to decorate the place and split them into sections. It was because he'd realised there might be visitors of opposite genders adter Lucy's came in the house.

The Martial King of Dual Cultivation immediately realised what SS06 was, but didn't say anything.

He decided to ask the person in question about it.

Directly asking why and how he got this 'girlfriend'.

And Adam, as if driven by obligation, told him everything without leaving even one bit out.

The entire truth of everything related to her.

The former test subject laid down not far from them, but they were separated by a soundproof curtain with an 'Array' on it. God only knows how useful he'd found this particular magic formation.

It was one of the few he'd become proficient in…

"So… she literally fell from the sky and onto your bed?" Hyuk asked while holding his friend's wrist.

"Jealous?"

"I would… if I wasn't frequenting the nearby brothel in your territory. You should go there sometimes."

"I'm not a pervert."

"…Do you still not trust others enough? You think they would try killing you?" His words were sharp.

Adam had no way of refuting his claim.

It had been a long and tiring life after he came to this world, and one thing was drilled into him.

That people couldn't be trusted.

"Even if I stay in one place and sit still, someone will come to kill me eventually." He spoke quite icily.

"Theh isn't it all the more reason to get stronger?"

"…Hyuk." When the gamer spoke his name in such a serious way, the Martial King became serious too.

"What's wrong?"

"Am I… living well?" Adam spoke with confusion on his face. He wasn't sure why he was asking this.

"You've always had good luck, so it would be weird if you weren't." These words triggered the gamer.

"Lucky…?!" Just before the patient started roaring in a fit of rage, the doctor continued his analysis:

"From what you said: When you wanted to go to another world, you did. When you wanted to live forever, you did. When you didn't want to live forever, you could cast it off. There are so many ways you're lucky;" Hyuk had explained himself.

Which made Adam think deeper about his past.

He was… always fortunate…?

Then why wasn't he happy? It felt like there was something more he could get, and to fully attain…

"It's not enough for me. I want a happy life."

"It's precisely because of that willingness to achieve… that you fail so much." The Martial King shook his head in pity. He reminisced openly about his past and monologued a little about 'that place':

"In my own realm, everyone always wanted MORE."

"Maybe the world was built unfair on purpose, just so we Martial Artists could always fight each other."

"I myself started off as a random prostitute, but look at me now. A rare 'Martial King'. All self-made."

"Isn't that the same with you?" When Hyuk asked this, his patient took some time to give a reply.

"…I'm a blind wolf boy."

"You're THE blind wolf boy."

"And why should I be proud of that? It doesn't feel right… Maybe I can regain my sight if I work hard."

"I respect that optimism, but didn't you hear me?"

"About being a Martial Artist?"

"Not that. I meant about having to overcome hurdles if you want something more than now."

"Oh…" Adam rolled his eyes, and didn't bother saying anything. He felt like cheating somehow.

Taking advantage of some loophole.

"Again, can't you trust us to protect you?" Hyuk seem more pained as he leaned on his knee.

His attraction skill not working on the patient.

"I'm trying… but you never know what will happen."

"Tell me the truth. Didn't we agree to be transparent with each other?" Hyuk didn't take it.

There had to be something more than this.

"…I'm trying." Adam really was doing his best to try and be at ease, but his experiences said otherwise.

The moment he let his guard down, someone with 'wants' will take advantage of it for their own gain.

That's the crux of what he learned in this world.

Even if his maturity knew one couldn't live like this.

Someday, he'd HAVE TO trust. If he truly desired that relaxing life he dreamed, it was essential.

When Hyuk heard him repeat those two words, he realised what was up. His friend's state of mind.

"Adam…" The Martial King grabbed his shoulders and got him to focus, then spoke: "…'We are good friends'. That's how I see our relationship. I like your sensibility, and willingness to make hard choices."

"I thought you saw me as an extreme bastard."

"Ahem… I never thought of you like that, but Sebas probably thinks otherwise." Hyuk avoided his eyes.

Even if they couldn't see his expression…

To be perfectly honest, Adam could see why Sebastian would find a fault in his mentality.

After all, he really DID cause a lot of trouble. That incident was probably the most ridiculous one yet.

"We never had that 'You are my friend' moment."

"You didn't have to say it yourself. When you accepted us as instructors, you acknowledged us."

"I had ulterior motives."

"Don't we all do that? Chin up! Sebas might feel a bit complicated right now, but he'll come 'round."

"…I don't need his intimacy."

"Be nicer to him. He's easy to please."

"Don't I let you lot use the fridge now…? I'm already give you all my graces." The gamer tried his luck.

"Well aren't you the most generous landlord." The person diagnosing his state spoke sarcastically.

But there one thing he suddenly realised.

"Wait… You didn't come to me just to have a nice conversation, did you? Is there a serious problem?"

When Hyuk suddenly brought this topic up, Adam suddenly felt his body being drenched by sweat.

It was a hard subject to just casually bring up.

Seeing that pitiful expression, the Martial King decided to change the subject to get 'closer'.

"Hey, Adam, I'm curious… As the kids these days tend to say, you already lost your V-Card… right?"

"…" Adam felt a bit awkward.

"Don't stay silent like that. Come on~ We're both guys here. No body can hear you right now." That perverted look on the Harem King's face was sensed through touch, Adam felt the muscle shifts.

Which is why he was honest about it.

"Pandemos."

"W-what? You mean the Goddess?"

"I mean no other." Hyuk sucked in a deep breath in awe, but then became angry and slapped his back.

*SMACK*

"What was that for?!" Even though he had high defensive capabilities, the slap still humiliated him.

Much worse since he didn't see it coming…

"I can't believe someone who lose his first to a literal Love Goddess thinks he's unlucky!" Hyuk felt his friend was way too ungrateful. Who else could say they had their first time with an Aphrodite?

"…There we're complicated circumstances,"

"You didn't cuck someone, right?" Hyuk asked with pity in his eyes, which was truly outrageous.

"HOW COULD YOU KNOW THAT?!"

"I can smell the guilt. Don't worry. We're comrades in that department." He lifted his thumb proudly.

"What do you mean?"

"I've cucked a king and fucked his wife and daughter. You'd be surprised how satisfying it was."

"Daughter…?"

"She was over 18, and I was too at the time."

"Then her mother was…"

"Actually in her 50s."

"Your tastes are too heavy." Adam leaned back a little, until Hyuk clarified something for him.

"50 year olds Martial Artists look like teens."

"Then how can you tell the difference between her and the daughter?" He started to have doubts.

"Just by talking to them. You should try it." Hyuk shrugged while pretending nothing was wrong.

But this only made Adam ask with uncertainty:

"You wouldn't seduce my future wife too, right?"

"…" Hyuk was silent with widener eyes, until he spoke in a whisper: "I'll try my best not to do that."

"You better. I'll fucking kill you if you fuck me over."

"Now's my time to ask: Did the husband give the go ahead? If so, then that's just a new fetish."

"It's a bit more complicated-"

"But it felt good, right?" Hyuk wrapped his arm around Adam's shoulders and whispered to him.

Like he was a companion and fellow 'man'.

The gamer disgustedly spoke: "Motherfucker…"

"You called?"

"This is why I find it hard to rely on you guys. Why do you have to be like this? Can't you be normal?"

"I think you're forgetting the type of people who ascend. If you got here, it means you're abnormal."

"Fuck…" Adam felt down for some odd reason.

He finally got the courage to speak his mind.

"Actually, something weird happened to my… my junk." His voice was as quite as a mouse's whisper.

But Hyuk heard him clearly.

"Show me." He spoke with a seriousness in his eye.

"Err…" Adam hesitated.

"Do it."

"But I don't want to."

"I'm being a doctor before a friend here. I can't do anything if you don't show me what's wrong." It was at that point Adam had no choice but to be convinced. He got up and dropped his pants.

Revealing what was once his proud manhood…

Hyuk seemed to react with shock when he saw the redness and strange bulge at the top of his rod.

No… was it more accurate to call it a 'bat' now?

"Doesn't 'this thing' hurt?" The medical expert was surprised Adam wasn't writhing on the ground.

"Thankfully, I don't feel things like pain anymore."

"…I see."

"What do you think happened?" Adam spoke while Hyuk tugged to gesture him to pull up his pants.

"I wonder… can you undo your wolf parts?"

"If I focus hard enough- Wait, you're saying this thing is part of my wolf physique? Seriously?"

"There's no other explanation. I remember there being romance novels in my world with that stuff."

"What stuff? And wait, your world had romance novels?" Adam remembered Hyuk was from a Wuxia World. If he put things together, didn't that mean those there were reading werewolf fiction?

"I don't know why you'd think there wouldn't be. I think Werewolves and Vampires was popular among the Ming Cult." Hyuk clarified. His words put a weird image in the head of his patient.

"That so…? Then what's wrong here?"

"You don't want to know…"

"Oh, but I really DO."

"Don't make me pollute your innocent mind. You haven't touched the depths of kinky fetishes yet."

"Then tell me what you CAN say to me."

"I can't…"

"Why not…?"

"Nothing. I'm not sure how it related here, but I'd read that there's this thing called 'Knotting'?"

"Nope." Adam felt the word sounded strange. It felt like Hyuk was having a hard time talking about it.

"Good. Let's just say that some canine animals like dogs have this thing where the area below the knob bulges. It's why yours looks like a baseball bat. Bitches… Female dogs, have a similar thing."

"How does this relate to what I asked?"

"When a dog has sex with a bitch, it goes in and gets stuck inside for a while to increase the chances of making the partner pregnant. They get entangled with each other… Thus, a 'knot'."

"…That's disgusting."

"Trust me. I just told you the most socially acceptable version of it. The rest is gross… even if it's me." Hyuk admitted. There was some things even HE steered clear of. This was one of them.

"There's worse?"

"Be glad you didn't become part pig."

"Did you read that from a romance too?"

"No. Erotica." The bland way Hyuk said these two words left his patient speechless for a moment.

But he eventually got down to business:

"Can you heal this?" Adam asked with uncertainty.

"It's not an injury."

"You said it makes impregnating easier…?

"Not really, but you're not entirely wrong."

"I don't want to deal with having kids and stuff. I'd like to know anything I can wear for… 'safety'."

"You don't want kids?" Hyuk was surprised for a moment. Didn't he see how cute Lucia was?

"Not yet. I'm not ready for it."

"I thought we were being honest with each other."

"…I just don't like kids. The thought of raising someone like myself just gives me the creeps."

"What's wrong with that? I happen to like you."

"It doesn't matter to me if a 'friend of all people' likes me." Adam rolled his eyes at such a response.

"It should. This shouldn't be your reason for asking that. I mean, are you planning on sleeping around?"

"And so what if I decide that?"

"Fine… Anyway, let's talk about that girl beyond the curtain. Did you… do anything strange with her?"

"I didn't." The gamer avoided his doctor's eyes.

"You don't have to be guarded with me."

"Ahem… I might have drank a few gallons of her cum." These next words were way too honest!

"…What?" Even Hyuk felt a bit repulsed.

"Sorry. That just slipped out. Can you get STD by doing that?" Adam scratched the back of his head.

"You can." The doctor said a matter of factly.

"…" The only solace Adam had while being awkwardly silent, was knowing magic and a high Defence Tier offset illnesses. He'd probably be scared out of his wits if that wasn't the case.

"Please continue." Hyuk egged him on seriously.

"Continue what?"

"I'm interested in how 'amazing' it tasted for you to turn into a crazy psycho and drink gallons of it."

"Hyuk…!"

"Did I say anything wrong?" Being kinky was one thing, but even that kinda thing should have limits.

Who drinks that much of another's body fluids?

Disgusting…

"…It tasted like fresh mints, or maybe mountain dew?" Adam seemed unsure of the real answer.

He couldn't quite pin it down entirely.

But this much was enough to spark the Harem King's interest. He seemed to want to 'learn more'.

"Do you think she'd let me have a sip?"

"Fuck.off." Adam just glared at him.

"A joke… No need to get so serious. But to be honest, I'm finding it weird you call ME a perv."

"It was in the heat of the moment."

"I'm sure…"

"What do you want from me anyway? You've been talking more aggressive."

"Let's make things clear: You aren't planning on indulging in sex just because it felt good, right?"

"So what if I am?"

"Don't. Just don't do it."

"You're being needlessly serious."

"Am I…? Do you even know what you're saying? It might not be long before your partner is decided."

"I mean, it's not like I'm married yet."

"Can't you just listen to someone's honest advice for once? What? You're worried your future wife won't do BDSM with you?"

"…How do you know that?"

"People who keep things bottled up like you tend to like doing bindings, being dominant, submissive, or sometimes even masochistic. I've seen your type a hundred time, and I'm giving you a warning."

"You're overreacting. Do you think I'm still a kid or something? I can take responsibility for my actions."

"This isn't about that. You-"

"Can you fix my dick or not?" Seeing Adam stonewall him made the Martial King hysterical.

But he managed to calm down his anger.

Hyuk was actually a harsher instructor than anyone else. Thus, he had ONE reason for dropping this.

You won't know the heat of fire until you get burnt.

It was better to let him face some consequences.

Hyuk became much more colder at that moment.

His eyes no longer as friendly as before.

"I'll write an Infertility Seal on your body. As for the shape, I can't do anything about it… but what I can do is fix the sticky texture and size. Come back whenever you need my help, and clean up yourself when you so." Hyuk wrote him a prescription.

Then, he pointed him to the door with indifference.

Adam didn't know why Hyuk was like this all of a sudden. He couldn't believe he made it a big deal.

What was so wrong in indulging a little bit?

It wasn't like he was doing anything illegal.

On top of that, the legendary Harem King was much more of an indulgent bastard than he was.

And so, the gamer left to give him some space.

After seeing the back disappear, Hyuk sighed while turning his head towards the soundproofed curtain.

He hoped he really was making a big deal of it.
