HG | Chapter 11

“Mo-monster rush?”

“Oh… this is quite troublesome.”

Cheonghyeon muttered, sounding not troubled at all.

The situation was so bewildering that Hakyung didn’t have time to be surprised by the appearance of the unfamiliar notification window.

“W-what should we do?”

“Hmm… Child, do you want to close your eyes?”

“Why should I close my eyes…?”

His father’s request was sudden. He added an explanation as if doing a favor.

“Because it’s too dirty for a child to see?”

Hakyung was at a loss for words and paused. His father’s request and the basis for it were hard to comprehend with Hakyung’s common sense.

‘Is the situation not as serious as it seems… or is it?’

Hakyung began to distort his perception. At least to his father, this situation seemed no more than a bothersome swarm of mosquitoes buzzing around.

The unease he had been trying to ignore grew stronger.

After all, this was the dungeon that even his father in his prime couldn’t stop. Or had the monster levels been adjusted due to the Outbreak state?

‘No. Even if that’s the case… he’s too relaxed.’

A ‘monster rush’ is a phenomenon where monsters within a dungeon, regardless of species, surge in large numbers. It’s never been observed in cave-type dungeons, and it’s a very rare occurrence, happening only once or twice in high-grade gate-type dungeons.

As rare as it is, it’s dangerous, and the danger level increases exponentially with the size of the dungeon. The Outbreak dungeon was particularly unusual, making it unclear if it could be compared to a typical monster rush.

Experts couldn’t easily determine how many monsters were packed into a dungeon the size of three districts combined. As long as the dungeon didn’t disappear, monsters would continuously regenerate and evolve.

At least tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands. The sheer number was hard to fathom, and Hakyung rubbed his forehead.

‘…Can we make it out alive?’

Even if they were weaker than the original dungeon monsters, there was no reason for optimism. It’s one thing to face many alone, but how could his father handle so many monsters by himself?

Even Admiral Yi Sun-sin had twelve ships. No matter how S-class he was, his father was just one person. And he had Hakyung, a burden, with him. So it was natural for Hakyung to express concern.

“Let’s run… let’s run away, Father.”

Hakyung tightened his grip on the firm shoulder. His knees trembled.

“It seems too late to run.”

Cheonghyeon responded as if amused. Hakyung was now speechless.

How could he laugh in this situation? We might all die here suddenly!

He realized for the first time that even when extremely flustered, one’s life could flash before their eyes.

Isn’t that so? Experiencing overload, finding out after 20 years that Cheonghyeon wasn’t his biological father, having sex with him, and finally dying without a trace to monsters?

“Unbelievable…”

Cheonghyeon chuckled, his shoulders shaking, as if he heard Hakyung’s unintentional muttering.

“Unbelievable? Hmm? Child, what’s unbelievable? You’ve grown up enough to find things unbelievable?”

“Father!”

What should he do with this man who threw away any sense of tension? Hakyung, still on his back, stomped his calves.

“The monsters have already gathered a lot.”

“Indeed. Are you scared, my child?”

Dunga-dunga.

Cheonghyeon shook his clasped hands under Hakyung’s bottom up and down.

‘Crazy…! No, he’s really a strange person!’

If he weren’t his father, he would have shouted, “You crazy bastard!” He still had some reason left, so he couldn’t bring himself to curse.

Cheonghyeon, as if Hakyung was the only one anxious, dragged out his words.

“Hmm…”

“What should we do, Father?”

“Hakyung. Can you do Guiding?”

The hands that were shaking him suddenly changed their movement. They kneaded his round cheeks and thighs with a suggestive touch. Along with the bewildering actions, his words sounded like this to Hakyung.

Will you kiss me here?

“…!”

“Guiding. Can you do it?”

Can you kiss me?

Hakyung bit his lip and managed to answer.

“…Anything.”

What could he say here?

Whether it was a kiss or Guiding, he was ready to do whatever he wanted. Embarrassment and shame weren’t more important than life.

“To do Guiding, you need to come forward.”

“There’s no space…”

There wasn’t even a place to step.

He wanted to ask, ‘Can’t we do it in this position?’ but he suppressed his thoughts and waited for the esper’s instructions.

Sure enough, a suggestion disguised as a command soon followed.

“Try relaxing your legs for a moment.”

“I feel like I’ll fall…”

“You won’t fall. I’m holding you tight.”

That was true. Cheonghyeon was firmly gripping Hakyung’s thighs. Even so, Hakyung was scared to release his legs without any support. If there was at least a place for his toes to touch, he wouldn’t be this anxious.

“Ah…! No, Father. I feel like I’ll fall.”

Grrr!

The monsters filled the area right below the column, growling fiercely. Having spotted the humans, they leaped upward, trying to snatch them. The ‘giant anomaly’ was tall enough to almost reach Cheonghyeon’s feet. If he misstepped, he’d go straight into the monster’s jaws.

“Ugh… My child is so scared. I should have brought a baby carrier.”

Even if it was a monologue, it was a plan that would make anyone shudder.

Hakyung turned pale, then blue, repeatedly. Then he pointed to the sky.

“Over there!”

Screech!

What was charging at them like a missile was a flying monster. A creature that looked like a mix between a lizard and a pterosaur, it was a ‘Gaion’. Classified as a lower dragon species, it was an A-grade dangerous entity.

With each flap of its bat-like wings, the distance closed rapidly. It took about 10 seconds, in his perception, for it to dive from the distant sky to here.

In the blink of an eye, its wide-open beak filled his vision.

“Father…!”

Whether the Guiding energy that surged out first or the monster that crumbled upon touching Cheonghyeon’s hand came first, he didn’t know. When he opened his eyes, which he had closed without realizing, Cheonghyeon had his right arm extended into the air.

Crack, crackle!

It was as if an invisible giant wall had been erected. Like birds crashing into reflective glass and dying, the bizarre flying creatures turned to powder upon touching Cheonghyeon’s right hand. The speed at which his arm moved was so fast that it looked to Hakyung as if the monsters were being sucked into the man’s right hand.

The powder from the ground monsters scattered white.

“My goodness…”

A rain made of powder. It was not strange to call it that.

Hakyung, with a dazed expression, lowered one hand. White granules, presumably bone powder, clung to his hand. He felt no weight or texture. The Gaion, when measured from snout to tail, was longer than the giant anomaly, yet the powder from such a massive body felt like nothing, which was unsettling.

‘So this is an S-class esper…’

Im Cheonghyeon as an S-class esper.

His ability was astonishing. No wonder he wasn’t intimidated by the numerous monsters before him. There was nothing to fear when all he had to do was reach out his hand.

The tension that had been tightly wound loosened slightly. Unfortunately, not all fear disappeared. The situation was still too dire to be completely relieved. It was a pity that he couldn’t purely admire his ability and savor the awe-inspiring moment.

The regret was so strong that Hakyung even overlooked the fact that he had managed to do Guiding in that state. He missed the timing to realize his own progress and encourage himself.

“Child.”

The low voice, already deep, sank even further.

“Did you wet yourself?”

“Wha-what…?!”

“Did you wet yourself while on your father’s back?”

“Wha-what are you…”

What kind of nonsense is this!

“You just did Guiding, didn’t you, by yourself.”

“That was… I was so startled it just came out…!”

Why is the embarrassment always mine?

He had suspected, but he didn’t expect to be questioned about the Guiding that had reflexively come out.

“For something like that, the energy amount was considerable. Our Hakyung, whenever you did Guiding, you wet the bed with your juices, didn’t you?”

“Th-that was during overload…”

“You’re talking as if overload isn’t Guiding?”

The coldly pointed tone shut Hakyung’s mouth.

“Even setting aside overload. Who was the one who wet themselves with juices before I even put it in this morning? And then caused a flood in your pussy during sex… I mean, Guiding?”

“……”

“This is quite a dilemma, not being able to check your pussy here…”

So confess whether you got excited during Guiding or not. Cheonghyeon was demanding that. He seemed to have already concluded that Hakyung had wet himself.

There was no more absurdity than this.

‘This is ridiculous.’

Understanding the context, Hakyung just gaped in disbelief. This person, he was sure, wasn’t listening to a word he said. He was the complete opposite of the ‘father’ Hakyung knew. Where had the father who always listened attentively gone?

‘Can someone change this much?’

He asked himself repeatedly, unable to believe it. Could completely different personalities coexist within one person?

Fine, let’s say that’s possible.

But he didn’t think his father was included in that. He believed ‘Im Cheonghyeon’ would always be consistent. Even if that belief shattered, he thought it would be within a range easy to accept rationally.

“We need to change locations.”

Cheonghyeon said quietly.

“Child, arms.”

After giving the instruction, he jumped down as soon as Hakyung clung to him.

“Haa!”

Crash!

The descent was as sudden as the ascent. Cheonghyeon avoided the creature with its gaping maw and lightly stepped on its bald head, moving forward as if flying.

Hakyung didn’t know, but just because a monster rush occurred didn’t mean the boss monster had to be defeated. As long as the monsters’ attention was diverted somehow, it was enough. It was just that most methods didn’t work.

Of course, Cheonghyeon knew an effective way. As he always had, he planned to drive them away today as well. However, revealing that method to Hakyung was a different matter, so he was timing it.

The boss monster shouldn’t die yet. Not until it had served its purpose.

Thud, crack, crash, snap!

The heads of the monsters burst open under the kicks of the S-class esper. It was like stepping on a minefield where explosions occurred with every step.

For quite a while.

After cutting through the seemingly endless sea of monsters, Cheonghyeon settled on the rooftop of a three-story building.

The building, with its steel frame exposed, was mostly damaged, but it was less affected compared to the previous one. It seemed to have been a fairly large store, as the center was blown out, but the corners on both sides remained relatively intact.

“Hmm.”

The man, gauging the location, nodded in satisfaction. This seemed like a suitable place to cover the child’s eyes and fend off the monsters.

“Son, carefully lower your feet?”

Cheonghyeon deliberately held Hakyung’s thighs to guide him down slowly. At some point, Hakyung had been clinging to Cheonghyeon’s upper body, trembling. It seemed he had gotten scared with the monster’s jaws hovering so close by.

The man’s guess was accurate. Hakyung had to struggle not to scream when Cheonghyeon used the monster heads as stepping stones.

The hard skin brushing against his toes, the jaws narrowly avoided, the shark-like sharp teeth, the roars, screams, and breaths of the monsters… Even when he told himself it was nothing, that he was in the safest place in the world, his stomach churned, and his nerves were on edge.

“Hakyung?”

Cheonghyeon gently urged. The trembling would be felt by him too. Yet, the fact that he wanted him to get down meant there was something more important.

“J-just… just a moment.”

Hakyung cautiously extended his left leg. Cold sweat soaked his forehead and slid down his temple.

“Ugh… Ah!”

His toe finally touched the cement floor. As soon as Cheonghyeon released his grip on his thigh, his round knee buckled, and his whole body swayed significantly.

“Oh dear.”

Thunk!

Fortunately, the man’s reflexes were exceptional, preventing him from rolling around embarrassingly, but Hakyung’s breathing became explosively rapid from that point.

“Huff, huff!”

“You seem quite startled… Hakyung, can you hear me?”

Cheonghyeon held his son in his arms and patted his back. What came into view was a neck leaning weakly. He suddenly noticed a bruise-like mark spreading on the slender nape that seemed like it would break if pressed too hard.

‘Ah.’

He had momentarily forgotten since entering the dungeon, but Hakyung had only recently escaped from overload. Until this morning, he had only received cock for five days straight and hadn’t walked on his own legs.

He hadn’t intended to put Hakyung down on the dungeon floor anyway, and the fact that he had been carrying him around all along, concerned about his frailty, had ironically made him overlook Hakyung’s condition.

He internally made excuses that weren’t really excuses and snapped his fingers in front of Hakyung’s eyes.

Snap, snap.

“Shh… Good boy, child. Look at Dad. Im Hakyung. Look at Dad.”

Huff, huff… The child panted heavily in his father’s embrace. Judging by his unfocused appearance, it was a sign of hyperventilation.

“Mmmp!”

Without further ado, Cheonghyeon parted his son’s lips with his own. Like spreading a woman’s labia and inserting a stiff cock, he thrust his thick flesh into the soft center.

“Mmph, huff, mmph!”

Smooch. Suck. Smack, slurp.

The body, suddenly deprived of air, squirmed. He kicked his legs, desperately trying to push Cheonghyeon away and twisting his upper body.

The more he did, the more Cheonghyeon pressed down on the back of his head, pushing his tongue deep inside. He tickled the tongue bud, akin to a clitoris, and spread his tongue wide to ensure the tongue body made contact, swirling it around. Then, without warning, he thrust into the throat, causing the esophagus to wriggle as if it were a pussy receiving a cock.

“Mmph!”

Before long, Hakyung convulsed violently. He had reached the limit of what he could endure.

Cheonghyeon grabbed the fists pounding against him and pulled them behind his neck. He kept his mouth sealed, tilting his head slightly. It was to deliberately brush against his nose and remind him of the existence of another airway.

If he had the will to live, he’d start breathing through his nose. Cheonghyeon tilted Hakyung’s head back to stimulate his survival instinct. Gulp, the saliva pooled in his throat eagerly went down. The saliva he couldn’t swallow dripped past his red lips and down his chin.

The messy sight unexpectedly stimulated Cheonghyeon.

“Huuung!”

Smooch, slurp! He sucked on the tender tongue as if to drink all the saliva, then spread his tongue wide again, rubbing against the tongue bud. Not satisfied with that, he pulled Hakyung’s tongue out of his lips and flicked the tip rapidly.

Since all acts of intimacy were new to him, Hakyung found kissing unfamiliar. He could only freeze or hide inside when Cheonghyeon touched him.

Cheonghyeon gently bit the overly tender lips that seemed like they would melt if rubbed too much. He frequently turned his head to slightly open the throat, then scratched the roof of his mouth and buried his tongue deeply again.

“Mmph, mm…”

At some point, the nature of his throat sounds changed. Cheonghyeon, without realizing it, lowered his hands to knead his son’s buttocks. Not only that, he pulled him close enough for their groins to touch, rubbing his cock against him.

“Mmph…!”

The sensitive body arched. It was a heavy, lingering reaction, as if he couldn’t hold back any longer. The time his arched back hovered in the air was long.

It was then that Cheonghyeon suddenly stopped moving.

“Ah… damn.”

He abruptly let go of the tongue he had been sucking on and furrowed his brow. Then he chuckled softly, wiping his son’s wet lips with the back of his hand.

He called his son, sounding quite troubled.

“Child. What should we do?”

Hakyung raised his muddled gaze, tilting his head. His young face was flushed with pleasure.

Cheonghyeon pulled his slender wrist and pressed it against the bulge in his pants.

“Dad’s cock… is hard again?”
