Bonus side story. Beyond the hyper-dimensional LAN cable... ...

As usual, a leisurely morning began. As the sleepiness cleared and consciousness slowly awakened, the senses connected.

What penetrated the pleasant haze was the fragrant scent of bergamot and the warm warmth that enveloped my body.

It was a shame to wake up right away, so I decided to hold out for a little while. Without opening my eyes, I buried half of my face in the soft pillow and rubbed my cheek and forehead.

Then a large, warm hand came down on my head.

The hands that gently caressed and stroked me felt so good. I smiled naturally as I enjoyed myself to my heart’s content.

Then I heard a charming, low laughter in my ear. I opened my eyes, drawn by it.

Ah, today is another beautiful morning.

“Are you awake?”

Tesilid was watching me affectionately from a distance.

His figure, lying sideways with a single layer of pure white blanket, looked like a statue that a craftsman had painstakingly made.

My eyes were drawn not only to his handsome smiling face, but also to his hands that held his chin.

His sinewy wrists and strong arms were completely exposed. I could also see the delicate curves of his muscles in his upper body.

Ah, I feel it again.

The world is beautiful and life is happy.

“Do you want to sleep more, or do you want to wake up?”

“Wake up.”

I pulled the blanket over my chest and sat up with only my upper body raised. On the nightstand next to the bed was a warm teacup with a bergamot scent.

I held the thing he had prepared for me with both hands and drank it down.

Warm Earl Grey milk tea on a winter morning was the best.

“Oh, it’s snowing outside.”

“Huh? It really is.”

Next to the bed was a bay window. I pulled out my upper body covered with a blanket and pulled back the curtains.

A white world of fluttering snowflakes unfolded. The ground was covered in snow-white under the snow-clouded sky.

The fir trees that replaced the stone wall were decorated in white, so if I just hung a few ornaments, it would be a wonderful Christmas decoration.

A guest was present in the front yard covered in snow.

A variety of kittens were trying to grab the snow they had never seen before with their paws. They were the babies of the tabby cat that had been born last season.

I was a little worried that they might be cold. Tesilid, who was behind me, lightly rested his chin on my shoulder and said.

“I left the storage door open. If it’s cold, I’ll go in there.”

“Thank goodness.”

The last syllable of my answer was unclear. Tesilid had eaten it.

I responded to the kiss by placing my hand on the strong arm that wrapped around my waist from behind. At first, it was light as a greeting, like a bird pecking at a fruit.

When I played with his lower lip, he swallowed a low laugh as if it tickled his throat.

He also bit me in the same way, lightly nuzzled the tip of his nose, and then pulled away. It was a sweet ending.

“Ai.”

“Yeah, Terry.”

“It’s snowing, do you have a plan?”

“I always have a perfect plan.”

“What?”

“Just stay in bed with you.”

As soon as I answered provocatively, I turned around and pushed Tesilid’s shoulder. He lost his center of gravity and fell to the bed.

Tesilid, lying down with his short silver hair disheveled on the sheets, smiled faintly and looked up at me. As expected, he never refused.

He let out a plain groan as I placed my weight on his artistically slit abs.

“A joke? Not even heavy.”

“It was a groan of temptation.”

Such a cute effort.

I involuntarily inhaled audibly. Then I felt his hand holding my waist slightly tense up.

It seemed that we had succeeded in seducing each other.

I leaned my upper body against his chest.

His half-naked body, like a statue of sexual art, lay defenseless beneath me. His eyes looking up at me clearly seemed to be allowing me everything.

As I looked down at the handsome man who exuded a holy aura even after becoming a married man, I thought to myself that I was lucky that I was a saint. If not, I might not have been able to bear the guilt of corrupting him... ... .

At that moment, the feeling of a hot, large palm wrapping around one of my cheeks stirred my thoughts. The next thing I heard was a slightly dissatisfied voice.

“Isn’t this too much of a tease?”

“Huh?”

“If you don’t hurry up and cover me, I want to do it.”

“Ah!”

My vision flipped. Before I knew it, he was staring deeply at me, his shadow cast over my body.

His shadowed face reversed his mood. While I was swallowing dry saliva without realizing it, he reached out to me.

His palm, full of heat, wrapped around my shoulder. The warmth he gave me slowly moved while we were close together. His hand moved up my arm to my wrist and completely overlapped my palm.

He, who had been interlocking his fingers alone, pulled my hand to his lips. And starting from my thumb, he kissed each and every fingertip.

My fingers curled up without me knowing it because of the thrill. Sensing the reaction, he bit my thumb lightly and spoke with his lips that drew a curve.

“Can I kiss you?”

I opened my eyes wide in confusion at the new question, but he concretized the meaning.

“From head to toe.”

I really needed permission.

My body responded faster than my head. I was already out of breath, and I was overcome with the urge to hug his neck tightly and keep him from leaving me.

I immediately wrapped my arms around the back of his head and pulled him to me. I bit his lips once and said.

“Come on.”

The man’s face, smiling as if he was melting, came closer. Soon, his soft silver hair swayed and tickled the back of my neck.

✠

I think I fell asleep for a moment after my sensory receptors worked hard and couldn’t overcome my fatigue.

I was the first one to open my eyes this time. Thanks to that, I was able to see my lovely husband sleeping soundly in ecstasy.

After enjoying it to my heart’s content, I carefully got out of bed so as not to wake him up. It was well past noon, so he would be hungry when he woke up.

‘I’d like white milk rolls and sirloin steak for lunch today.’

I should prepare some delicious food and feed him every bite myself.

It was when I had such a perfect plan.

[<System> From now on, maintenance for the large-scale content update of the ‘Bingeuija Support System’ will be conducted.]

“Oh?”

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a system notification. Now that I think about it, isn’t this the first time since the Tower of Trials and the Bingeuija chat window?

‘You’ve been releasing only new products under the pretext of updates!’

[‘Creative Economy Manager’ coughs in embarrassment.]

[‘Balance-Adjusting Critic’ says that even gods without followers need to collect donations to survive.] 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

‘Yes, yes. You said that my cash will be converted into divinity.’

Anyway. I’ve already cleared all the way to the top floor of the Tower of Trials, and I, who doesn’t really enjoy chat windows, had high expectations.

What kind of content could it be? I thought about my hopes with a pounding heart.

‘Or maybe the Tower of Trials expansion?’

[‘Trial Skyscraper Architect’ is suddenly angry.]

Judging from the person in charge’s reaction, it didn’t seem to be the case. It’s a shame.

It seemed like the update would ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) take quite a while, so I washed up first and came out.

After drying my rose-scented hair and putting on light clothes on my refreshed body, the timing was perfect.

[<System> ‘Ice Bear Support System’ 3rd large-scale content update has been completed.]

I sat down on the dining chair and immediately checked the update details.

As always, it started with a new product advertisement to generate sales.

[<Product> ‘Soul Pet (Exclusive to the Tower of Trials)’

Adopt a ‘Soul Pet’, a pet that will help you in the Tower of Trials.

When you hatch a colorful egg, a variety of cute and adorable pets will be born randomly. This pet, visible only to the eyes of the possessed, will greatly increase your abilities when you enter the Tower of Trials.

Note: The Tower of Trials, known for its extreme difficulty due to the balance patch for SS-class possessed, has been shunned by possessed people. This is a product released by the possessed management office in an attempt to somehow revive the content. Let's buy a lot.

Price: 1,000,000 Cash (Unlimited Purchases)]

The note struck a chord, but... ... .

'I've cleared all 300 floors, so I don't really need to buy it.'

You can't waste money.

Judging from the description that it comes out randomly when you open the egg, it seems to be a probability-based product. It's better not to touch this.

[‘Balance-Adjusting Critic’ says that if you have a conscience, you should buy about 10.]

[‘Creative Economy Manager’ promotes that the cuteness and adorableness alone are enough to make it worthwhile.]

The animals on the advertisement page were certainly cute. When you buy them, they seem to climb on your head or shoulders and always follow you around.

‘That pure white flying squirrel, isn’t it a little tempting? I’ll just buy one... ... Oh, no. This won’t do.’

I pulled myself together from the gamble I had been given and checked the notice. Finally, the full update description came out.

The title itself was extraordinary.

[<Notice> ‘Trial Tower Server Integration Update’]

Huh? Server integration?

What does this mean in a single-player area? I opened my eyes wide and continued reading the description.

[<Notice> ‘Trial Tower Server Integration Update’

By integrating the servers, not only single-player but also party play became possible.

Let's join forces with the possessed people on the same floor and quickly conquer the Tower of Trials.]

My mouth dropped open.

'You can meet possessed people in the Tower of Trials?!'

If this is true, doesn't that mean you can actually see the possessed people you've been socializing with through the superdimensional LAN cable?

It was a huge upheaval. Naturally, I was curious about the reactions of the other possessed people.
