What kind of sensation was this?
A powerful sense of compression—an overwhelming feeling that if you didn't exert enough effort, you would be pushed out entirely. All you could feel was the searing, soft pressure squeezing you from all directions. Each forward motion encountered resistance, yet you persisted.
They trembled, quivered, even seemed to weep, unwilling to let you reach the deepest place. But when you tried to pull back, their owner's smooth, full legs wrapped tightly around your waist, refusing to let you escape this mysterious place.
Folds opened little by little, either pressed apart or passed through, accompanied by a distinct friction—yet it was all softness and comfort. When Li Ke reached the deepest point, he felt something unusual slowly descending.
This strange sensation carried an extraordinary texture, as if it slid and sucked at the same time. When Li Ke pressed against it, he was struck by a feeling akin to being teased by both fingers and tongue. Unable to resist, he pushed harder, seeking to experience more.
In the innermost depths, he encountered an unprecedented pressure—a desperate force trying to expel him.
Yet, the Erina's legs only wrapped tighter around him.
"Li... Li Ke..."
Like a small animal being bullied, Erina let out a sound that resembled sobbing. She felt as though her body was being torn apart—a mix of pain and numbness engulfing her. But even so, she couldn't help but tighten her legs around Li Ke, trying to keep him inside her, as if she wanted to trap his entire being within her body forever.
It was unclear how much time passed before Li Ke was overcome by an unimaginable wave of comfort. Unable to resist, he held Erina tightly, and she clung to him just as fiercely. Their bodies trembled in unison.
And then, Erina felt a rush of warmth suddenly surging into the mysterious space Li Ke had fought so hard to enter. The heat flowed and swirled inside her.
The sticky sensation of wax melting on her skin was now filling her body, but there was no longer any pain—only a profound sense of comfort and contentment.
Not only that, but both of them felt as though the tension that had gripped their minds and bodies had finally been released.
For Li Ke, the change was especially evident. He felt as if he had fulfilled some essential mission, and the person before him now seemed completely different in his eyes.
Looking at Erina's sweat-drenched face, flushed red, he couldn't help but lean in and kiss her again.
This time, their tongues danced with equal enthusiasm, driven by the lingering afterglow of their shared climax and the relaxation of their spirits. The joy and satisfaction of the moment wove through their movements as their tongues intertwined again and again.
The sweetness of Erina's saliva made it impossible for Li Ke to pull away, while Erina was captivated by the rough, bitter taste she encountered. It reminded her of the raw, overwhelming sensation of Li Ke's earlier entrance—a feeling of being dominated and consumed.
She felt like a fish laid bare on a chopping board, while Li Ke was the chef wielding his tools. She was meant to be taken, ravaged, and devoured so that her finest flavors could be tasted.
It was an inexplicably pleasant feeling—one that required no thought or comprehension, only her willingness to let Li Ke play with and control her.
The kiss lasted a long time before they finally separated, their minds slowly emerging from the enchantment of the moment.
But as Li Ke gazed into Erina's flustered, evasive eyes, he made no move to retreat. One of his hands, which had somehow intertwined with hers, released her fingers and gently reached for the tender, pink strawberry on her chest.
Though it was only the size of a cherry, suggesting plenty of room to grow, even so, Li Ke's hand could barely encompass the softness of one side. He kneaded it firmly, attempting to vent the fire still burning inside him.
His grip was undeniably strong, eliciting muffled whimpers from Erina. Yet before she could muster any resistance, his hand shifted direction, pinching the still-developing, snow-white peak at the top.
The sharp pain was accompanied by an equally sharp pleasure, and Erina's voice took on a different tone.
"Li... Li Ke... be gentler..."
Erina didn't quite understand this newfound pleasure. Even though he was only teasing a small part of her, she felt a strange itchiness and numbness spreading through her upper body, coupled with an odd sense of anticipation.
Despite saying "don't," her hand instinctively rested on the other side of her chest.
"Do you really mean that?"
Li Ke lightly pinched Erina's cheek before kissing her adorable lips. Then, lowering his head, he bit down on the other pink peak.
The intense pain made Erina cross her legs once more. But to her surprise, she felt something inside her awakening again.
That budding sensation, slowly sprouting and growing, made her breathing quicken as she subtly lifted her hips.
And just like that, it was as if an engine had been ignited. Once again, Li Ke resumed his exploration of Erina Nakiri.
The two became entangled again and again, though in the end, Li Ke's stamina could not match Erina's.
Despite her youthful and vibrant physique spurring him on, after the third time he wildly used the most traditional method to turn her abalone into a ruined cream puff, his limited strength was finally depleted.
Even so, Erina remained somewhat unsatisfied. By the time Li Ke managed to collapse beside her, thoroughly exhausted, the sun was already beginning to set.
---
Watching the setting sun, Li Ke looked at Erina, who was covered in the same sticky mess as he was. Unable to resist, he pinched her nose gently and sighed helplessly.
"Alright, we should go freshen up."
Still exhausted, Erina shifted slightly in Li Ke's arms. The pain between her legs made her reluctant to move her body, but the sticky sensation on her skin wasn't exactly pleasant either.
"Mm..."
She wrapped her arms around Li Ke's shoulders, nuzzling his chin lightly with her nose before reluctantly sitting up.
"Fine, let's go take a bath... Then... um, I'll teach you how to cook."
As she said this, Erina's face flushed red. If it weren't for how delicious that meat had been, she would never have ended up like this!
The two of them got up with some effort. Although Erina still moved a bit awkwardly, she had no issues walking normally.
Together, they made their way to a small lake behind the gas station. Li Ke propped up an old, discarded oil barrel, filled it with relatively clean water, and lit a fire beneath it to heat the water.
He had no way of ensuring the water was free of viruses or microorganisms, so he opted to boil it for bathing.
In a place without running water, things like this were troublesome.
Fortunately, oil barrels heat water fairly quickly. Before long, Erina was able to bathe.
Watching Erina soak in the barrel and scrub her body, Li Ke waited patiently. When she began to feel cold, he thoughtfully reignited a small fire beneath the barrel, allowing her to continue enjoying warm water.
Meanwhile, he began preparing his own bathwater.
Since Erina's clothes had been torn to shreds, Li Ke had to find some clothes from others. After disinfecting them in another barrel, he set them near the fire to dry. Soon, Erina would be able to wear clean shorts and a shirt.
As for shoes, there wasn't much he could do, but luckily, the RV had clean socks, which would suffice to prevent any uncomfortable situations.
While Li Ke was drying Erina's clothes, she suddenly spoke, leaning against the edge of the metal barrel.
"Li Ke, do you know how to deliver a baby?"
Her hand was still lingering near her private area as she spoke. Earlier, while cleaning herself, she had noticed something continuously flowing out from inside. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the substance Li Ke had injected into her.
Although she wasn't in her most fertile period, there was no way to be absolutely certain.
"Uh... No, I don't."
"Then we might need to find some books on the subject at a bookstore. You'd better study carefully when the time comes. Oh, and you also need to learn how to cook properly! Even though you're terrible at it now, you have to work hard!"
Leaning against the metal barrel, Erina giggled at Li Ke, who was busy drying her clothes. Her mind was filled with thoughts of the future, and the shyness she had once exhibited as a sheltered young lady had vanished entirely.
"Hm? I will."
Li Ke's previously relaxed mood sank slightly, but he forced a smile.
Unlike Erina, Li Ke's thoughts were more complex.
"Setting aside whether we could even have a child... If something were to go wrong..."
His heart grew heavy as Erina turned around, distracted by another flow of liquid she needed to clean up.
Li Ke silently sighed as he watched her back.
"If only we could leave this place."
In modern society, the two of them would be worlds apart. Li Ke would likely be suppressed by her grandfather and father, possibly even "dealt with" outright.
But...
No matter the difficulties, modern society was still far better than this apocalyptic wasteland.
Regardless of the challenges ahead, Li Ke was determined not to give up.
"For now, we'll have to take things one step at a time."
Li Ke had never been particularly enthusiastic about looting cities. The sheer number of zombies and the possibility of encountering special zombies made it a dangerous endeavor.
But if Erina were truly pregnant, there would be no choice. She would need various medicines and knowledge to ensure a safe delivery.
"Is this... a man's responsibility?"
Li Ke gazed at Erina, and a surge of responsibility welled up in his heart. However, in the next moment, he noticed something strange on Erina's body.
No, to be precise, from the moment he had thought, "If only we could leave this place," something odd had appeared before his eyes.
In the upper-left corner of his vision, a strange red dot had appeared.
Li Ke frowned and focused his thoughts on the red dot.
The next instant, a blue panel—completely out of place in this world—materialized before him.
Li Ke
Level: 1
Skills: Seven Days to Die Dimension Sovereign (0.1%), Endless Traverser LV1
Energy: 300
Current Recorded World: Seven Days to Die
"This is..."
Li Ke couldn't help but glance at Erina. Just as he was about to ask her about it, an option suddenly appeared over her body.
"Would you like to safely return this traversal target to their original world of existence?"
Li Ke froze for a moment, staring blankly at the word "return." He quickly noticed that returning Erina Nakiri required 1,000 energy points.
But he currently had only 300.
"How do I acquire energy points?"
Li Ke muttered the question aloud, but there was no response. So, he clicked on the energy section.
A series of symbols appeared before his eyes, gradually forming a single sentence:
"Emotional bonds can generate energy."
Even in such a serious situation, Li Ke couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated. Emotional bonds? What a roundabout way of describing that! Why even bother being so vague?
He stifled the urge to complain further, knowing it was too late for that. Instead, he asked himself the question that had been on his mind: If this is how it works, can I go to Erina Nakiri's world and eventually return to my own?
Li Ke posed the thought internally, but, as expected, received no response. Looking at his own profile on the interface, he noted there were no options listed for himself—no return, no transfer, nothing.
A heavy silence settled over him. If that was the case, then...
"I..."
Li Ke clenched his fists subconsciously. His eyes drifted toward the list of skills displayed in front of him.
"Seven Days to Die Dimension Sovereign"? And "Endless Traverser, Level 1"?
Curious, he tapped on each for an explanation. Immediately, descriptions appeared in neat lines of text.
Seven Days to Die Dimension Sovereign:
You are in the process of claiming the power of a dimension. For now, the energy you wield is only a sliver of this dimension's potential. Fortunately, this world currently lacks a sovereign.
Remember, the more you explore and understand this dimension, the more it will reveal its powers to you. However, be aware that the unique nature of this dimension allows its power to be shared with others.
Yet...
There can only ever be one true sovereign, and even they are bound by the limits of their dimension's energy.
"So that's how it works," Li Ke muttered, looking at his hands. He had always wondered why this world granted people such powers. If it was a matter of claiming the dimension's energy, the mechanics now made sense.
Clearly, if he wanted to grow stronger in this world and increase his own abilities, he would need to raise the progress bar on his Dimension Sovereign skill.
Endless Traverser, Level 1:
You are one of the rare individuals who can freely travel between worlds and accept their respective powers. However, this gift comes with a price: you will find it nearly impossible to return to your home.
Rest assured, if and when you do return, it will be as if no time has passed—this is your home world's kindness to you.
To level up this skill, you must send other traversers back to their original worlds. Doing so will grant you access to the world they originated from or their traversed worlds.
So, look forward to the day when your world harbors enough traversers for you to strengthen yourself—or gather enough energy to proceed.
"I see."
Li Ke let out a long breath, processing the implications. At least this meant that sending Erina Nakiri back wouldn't permanently cut her out of his life.
But there was another problem. Where in this world could he find enough traversers to level up his skills?
His gaze shifted back to Erina, who was still bathing nearby. This revelation brought him to an uncomfortable decision.
He didn't see himself as a saint, but he wasn't a villain either.
The real question was: Should he tell Erina? Should he explain that, after being intimate with her a few times, he'd unlocked a new ability allowing him to send her back to her world? Would she believe him? Would she see this as a coincidence or accuse him of scheming from the start?
He had no idea. It all felt too coincidental.
"Forget it. I can't send her back yet anyway."
Li Ke exhaled deeply and decided to shelve the matter for now. After all, even if he wanted to send Erina back, he still needed to accumulate enough energy through emotional interaction to make it possible.
One thousand points. Seven more times...
He stared into the fire, his legs suddenly feeling weak.
Sure, it could technically be done in two days. But Li Ke was only human, and after just three times, he already felt drained to the bone.
Seven times in one day? He might as well resign himself to doing nothing else.
But this dangerous world wouldn't allow him the luxury of doing nothing.
