‘Well, it couldn’t be helped.’
Unlike , who gained power through the Black Serpent That Devours Worlds, Seomun Cheon had absorbed the abilities of a character from an overpowered virtual reality ga, rging them with his own unique powers.
As a result, he had beco a being capable of infinite growth, gaining strength at an unprecedented pace—even now, he continued to grow stronger in real ti.
"An alliance, huh? It’s definitely a good thing to have one more ally. There are too many annoying enemies out there."
Leaning back leisurely in his chair, Seomun Cheon spoke with a faint smile.
"And while I like the idea of working with an old friend, we’ll need to set so ground rules, right?"
"Of course. We both have things we need to protect."
"Heh, true."
Even as friends, or perhaps because we were friends, it was essential to establish clear boundaries regarding what we held most dear.
"My top priority is protecting my wives."
"Sa here."
Though we might speak of protecting the world, our wives ca first—everything else was secondary.
"Alright, I agree to the alliance to protect your wives: Seomun Ye-jin, Han Se-hee, Lee Ha-yeon, Moriya Yuka, and Kang Yu-ra."
"And I agree to the alliance to protect your wives: Seomun Min-hye, Aria Liberine, Ye Eun-chae, Yoo Hyun-ah, Lee Se-na, and Osada Saya."
By acknowledging each other's priorities, we formalized our alliance. With that settled, our conversation shifted back to more casual topics.
"Honestly, who’d have thought we’d be sitting here, both with multiple wives, having this kind of conversation?"
"I know, right? Back when I was ten, being experinted on, I couldn’t even imagine surviving, let alone sothing like this."
We both chuckled at the absurdity of it all.
"Cheon, I’m sorry."
Out of the blue, I decided to apologize.
"For what?"
"For dodging that reincarnation beam. You ended up getting hit while you were asleep and reincarnated without knowing what was going on."
"Don’t worry about it. At first, I was furious, but honestly, I’m satisfied now."
"Thanks for saying that."
Seomun Cheon waved it off with a grin that reminded
of the old Seomun Yoo-cheon.
"By the way, Seo-jun, do you rember what we talked about in our past lives?"
"Which part?"
"About how, if we ever got married, we’d probably end up complaining about our wives behind their backs."
"Oh, that. Yeah, I rember. Back then, we never would’ve believed we’d end up with such sweet, beautiful wives."
"Not in a million years."
As we reminisced, Seomun Cheon smirked.
"Honestly, my wives are so sweet it’s almost addictive. I feel like I’m experiencing withdrawal symptoms when I’m away from them."
"Sa here. They each have their quirks, but all of mine are kind-hearted. Well, one of them can be a bit indifferent, but even she’s not bad at heart."
I couldn’t help but think of Ramisa. As an Outsider, she wasn’t exactly malicious—just indifferent to humans, viewing them as insignificant. Still, she wasn’t evil, and that was enough for .
Seomun Cheon’s "withdrawal symptoms" were more like an addiction to the presence of his wives—a sentint I fully understood.
"Seo-jun, as much as I’m enjoying catching up, I have to admit—I can’t wait to get back to my wives."
"I get it. I feel the sa way."
We both nodded in mutual understanding before diving into lighter, more playful conversations.
"Min-hye’s self-conscious about her small chest, but I think it’s adorable."
"All my wives are well-endowed, so that’s not sothing I’ve dealt with."
"Heh, so you’re jealous of my rare, petite wife, huh?"
"Hey, ever been with an Outsider? It’s a whole other experience."
"You perverted bastard! Who hooks up with a final boss?"
We burst into laughter, letting the conversation drift into absurdity. For a mont, it felt like we were back in our past lives as Seomun Yoo-cheon and Kim Ho-cheon, joking around without a care.
Still, we kept our banter within certain boundaries.
We never crossed the line into crude comntary about each other’s wives or overly personal details. Even when topics like intimacy arose, we handled them tactfully, steering the conversation away from anything disrespectful.
It was a lighthearted, nostalgic conversation between two old friends—one that reminded us of where we’d co from and how far we’d co.
It was clear that there were sacred boundaries neither of us would dare to cross.
"Seo-jun, I think I’ll head back now and spend so ti with my wives," Seomun Cheon said as he stood up, signaling his intention to leave.
"Alright. Don’t forget to stay in touch," I replied.
"Of course. You should bring your wives over soti. Yoo-cheon Group is doing incredibly well. And hey, if you’re interested, I could even set you up with so won for a one-night stand—your wives don’t have to know."
"And then you’d snitch on
to them, wouldn’t you?"
"Ah, as sharp as ever, my friend. Tsk!"
We shared a laugh at the lighthearted banter before waving goodbye.
"Alright, see you around. Bye-bye."
"Take care."
With that, Seomun Cheon returned to his dinsion, leaving
alone in the rift.
‘He’s doing well,’ I thought.
Seeing my friend from my past life thriving after overcoming so many trials was reassuring. Even though he had grown strong enough to kill Terenity, the Eternal Dragon, his core personality hadn’t changed much.
‘He’s not altruistic to a fault, but he’s not the kind of reckless, dangerous being most Outsiders are, either.’
This made him one of the most reliable allies I could ask for, both as a friend and as a partner in our alliance.
‘Of course, that ans he doesn’t hand out his friendship easily, either.’
In many ways, Seomun Cheon and I had always clicked, even in our past lives. Perhaps it was because we were both slightly introverted and hesitant to act on our desires.
Back then, we bonded over shared interests, like reading novels and discussing our favorite stories. We even shared similar tastes in won, which was why we carefully avoided bringing up the subject of each other’s wives now.
‘In our past lives, we knew about each other’s wives as characters from the novels we’d read.’
We never imagined that those fictional heroines would turn out to be real won in another world—or that they would end up as our wives.
In our past lives, we’d joked about those heroines constantly, making offhand remarks about how attractive they were or what it would be like to be with them. I had often teased Seomun Yoo-cheon about his preferences, saying things like, “Min-hye is cute, but Mi-hyun is trash,” or “Aria Liberine and Ye Eun-chae are better choices for a fling.”
Similarly, Yoo-cheon had made comnts about characters like Seomun Ye-jin, not holding back in his teasing because, at the ti, they were just fictional characters.
Now, those sa characters were real won—our wives. That made it clear why we were so careful when discussing them.
"Feels like it’s been ages since I felt this way," I muttered to myself.
The reunion with my friend had brought back mories of our past lives while also solidifying the alliance between us.
It was a productive eting.
"Ti to head back," I decided.
I was beginning to miss my wives.
When I returned to Seomun Ye-jin’s house—our ho for now—she was there to greet
with a warm smile.
"Darling, you’re back?"
Seeing her smile made
smile in return. I walked up to her and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Hehe~"
Seomun Ye-jin giggled happily, lting into my arms. The feel of her soft, curvaceous body against mine was enough to stir my desire.
"Let’s head to the bedroom," I whispered.
"Yes, darling!"
Carrying her to the bedroom, I spent the next twelve hours in bed with her—twelve minutes, according to the world outside.
Afterward, I planned to call each of my wives in turn for a night of passion.
‘Seeing Cheon must’ve gotten
fired up,’ I thought with a wry smile.
I was certain Cheon was doing the sa thing with his wives at that very mont.
"Ah..."
Pinned beneath
on the bed, Seomun Ye-jin responded eagerly to my kiss, her face flushed with excitent. Her enthusiasm and love-filled eyes made her all the more beautiful.
As I lost myself in her, exploring every inch of her with affection and passion, I thought to myself: This is the life I want to protect—this love, this peace.
