I stood near the grand exit of the Bureau, about to throw my heavy dark cloak back over my shoulders to block out the harsh, burning sunlight, when a familiar clanking sound caught my attention. I glanced over and spotted a face I hadn't seen in months.
It was Valentine Katt… or rather, Na Tae-man, his real name from our past life on Earth. He was dressed in full iron-leather vanguard armor, looking like he just stepped out of a high-tier fantasy raid. The guy was a legendary Korean MOBA champion back in Seoul, and he was constantly using his insane micro-reflexes and macro map-awareness to treat this brutal world like a tactical video game.
Standing right next to him on his right was Miss Karrie, another reincarnated soul from Earth who worked as a high-ranking adventurer within our secret circle.
I casually strolled over to them, my massive crimson blood wings giving a relaxed rustle in the dim lobby. The moment Tae-man's eyes locked onto me, his cocky, dramatic gamer personality instantly flared up. He struck a theatrical pose, resting a hand on the hilt of his sword.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't our favorite chuunibyou, Roxanne! Our absolute favorite, peak-tier edgelord has finally graced us with her presence." Tae-man smirked, using my old Earth name with absolute gamer confidence.
I paused, my single jade-green eye blinking in a completely flat, unamused deadpan.
Chuunibyou?
I had absolutely no idea what that word meant. Back on Earth, I was born and raised in the Philippines; we didn't have that specific Japanese slang in our everyday vocabulary. If he was trying to say I had 'eighth-grade syndrome' and lived in a delusion of edginess, he was completely wrong. I wasn't acting… I was a literal, blood-sucking vampire lord with actual demonic wings and a massive body count. There was zero delusion here, just optimized lethal metrics.
Before I could verbally thrash his light-novel logic, Tae-man's eyes casually drifted downward. His smug smirk instantly froze, his jaw dropping so low it nearly hit his iron chestpiece.
"Wait... hold on a second, Why the heck is your belly so big? Did you get a massive health-buff artifact or something?!" Tae-man stammered, his high-tier mechanical reflexes completely failing him as he pointed a trembling finger at my midsection.
Miss Karrie leaned forward, her eyes widening in absolute, radical shock as she looked at my perfectly rounded, undeniable seven-month baby bump beneath my green kirtle.
"Wait, Tae-man, shut up! She's not buffed… Roxanne, you're literally pregnant!" Karrie gasped, clutching her hands to her mouth.
"It's true,"
I said, my voice dropping into its signature lazy, unbothered deadpan. I casually rested my palm against the heavy, rounded curve of my seven-month baby bump, letting my massive crimson blood wings give a soft, rhythmic rustle that cast a dramatic shadow over the polished Bureau floor.
Little Cliff chose that exact moment to give a sharp, authoritative kick right against my palm, as if adding a punctuation mark to the announcement.
Miss Karrie's head snapped toward Na Tae-man faster than a high-tier agility skillshot. Her eyes narrowed into slits of pure, judgmental fury, and she pointed an accusatory finger straight at his iron-leather vanguard chestpiece.
"Hey, you! Mister Main Character! I knew it! I heard rumors that you were taking Roxanne out on romantic dates and buying her milkshakes! I told you to stop acting like a light-novel protagonist trying to build a trashy fantasy harem! Look what you did! You actually went and impregnated her, didn't you?!" Karrie hissed, her voice vibrating with absolute shock and irritation.
"No! No, no, no! Way off! Total misplay! That is a complete mechanical error!"
Tae-man instantly panicked, his cocky, top-tier gamer confidence entirely evaporating. He threw his hands up in defense, his high-tier mechanical reflexes reduced to wild, frantic swatting motions as his face flushed a bright, embarrassing crimson beneath his vanguard armor.
"Karrie, use your macro-awareness! Look at the timeline! I haven't even unlocked that romance route yet! I'm completely innocent!"
I stood there, watching his absolute meltdown with a slow, wicked smirk spreading across my face. Truth be told, I had absolutely no intention of revealing that the deadbeat father was actually the decapitated Immoral Knights commander, Cameron. Why waste a perfectly good, dramatic plot twist when I could use this golden opportunity to torment Tae-man instead? The guy's annoying gamer antics constantly grated on my nerves, and the fact that he had just casually branded me a "chuunibyou" for having actual, biologically accurate vampire lord wings filled me with a deep desire for absolute, chaotic retribution.
It was time to do my personal entertainment.
Taking a slow, heavy step forward, I completely threw away any sense of public decorum. I closed the distance between us, letting my massive, voluptuous framework press directly into his space. Before he could calculate an escape rotation, I reached out and wrapped my arms securely around his neck, clinging to his armored frame like a devoted, helpless lover.
I leaned in close, my single jade-green eye flashing with a deeply provocative, heavy-lidded gaze as I breathed softly against his ear. I dropped my voice into a low, sultry, utterly scandalous purr, letting the most shamelessly horny words known to man slide right past my fangs.
"Oh, Na Tae-man... how can you deny your own flesh and blood after what we did?"
I whispered loudly enough for the nearby guild members to hear, intentionally brushing my curvaceous hips and the massive weight of my chest right against his iron-leather armor.
"Care to take responsibility for filling my warm, compliant womb with your sticky, delicious seeds during our late-night grinding sessions? You were so aggressive back then, lunging deep inside me... you completely broke my defenses, you sexy vanguard."
"Why you little...!"
Karrie practically choked on her own saliva, her jaw hitting the floor as she covered her eyes in absolute horror and betrayal, completely convinced by my performance.
"Tae-man, you absolute degenerate scum! She's a pregnant vampire lord and you're treating her like an active quest line!"
"Wait… Roxanne! What the heck happened to you?! What are you saying?!"
Tae-man shrieked, his voice cracking spectacularly as his brain completely short-circuited. He froze entirely, stiff as a board, terrified to move a single muscle as my hyper-developed, impossibly voluptuous adult figure pressed against him in the very public lobby of the Bureau.
"This is a glitch! A massive system error! Someone dispel this status effect! I swear on my ranked MMR, I never touched her vagina! I don't even know how to navigate that interface yet! Roxanne, please, get off me before your psycho brother Elias tracks my location and spawns behind me for an instant execution!"
I hooked my fingers firmly into the straps of Tae-man's iron-leather vanguard armor and ruthlessly dragged him into a dim, shadow-drenched corner of the grand lobby where fewer civilian eyes were tracking our movements. Miss Karrie followed closely behind, her boots stomping against the marble in a state of absolute, high-tension panic, her arms crossed tightly as she prepared to witness the ultimate downfall of her fellow reincarnator.
Once we were safely hidden behind a massive stone pillar, I completely escalated my psychological warfare metrics. Keeping my gaze locked onto his panicked eyes with a heavy-lidded, predatory lust, I slowly slid my hand down the front of his armored trousers. With practiced, deliberate precision, I pressed my fingers firmly against his crotch, tracing the rigid contours of his fabric. Tae-man's breath hitched completely. Under the direct, localized friction of my hand, his physical biology betrayed him instantly… his cock rose up, hardening rapidly beneath my palm as his high-tier mechanical reflexes completely failed to stop a basic human reflex.
I leaned my face right against his neck, my sharp fangs brushing his skin as I let out a low, incredibly horny, toe-curling moan that vibrated directly into his ears.
"Ohhh... don't be so shy, Tae-man, Let's just go another round right now. Little Cliff is waiting for his daddy to give us another heavy load. We literally chose this name together during our late-night climax, remember? You said it sounded rugged." I whispered with a breathless, sultry purr, letting my fingers squeeze him gently through the cloth.
"Cliff?! What the absolute hell! I knew it! I knew you impregnated her, you absolute degenerate! Your cocky main-character delusions have gone way too far this time, Tae-man! You named the baby after a geography feature because you think you're an edgy light-novel god!" Karrie erupted, her voice a harsh, enraged whisper as she stomped her foot.
"Wait, wait, timeout! Freeze! Dispel! Dispel!"
Tae-man squeaked, his voice pitching an octave higher as his hands hovered frantically in the air, terrified to touch my voluptuous chest or my massive, seven-month baby bump. His face was a violent, hyper-vibrant shade of red, sweat pouring down his temples.
"Hey! Since when did you become this incredibly horny, Roxanne?! This is a massive, game-breaking anomaly! I haven't even unlocked your intimacy gauge yet!"
Karrie's aura flared with absolute, murderous fury, her fist shaking as she looked like she was about to execute an armor-shattering skill right into his skull.
Seeing her rage reach its absolute peak, Tae-man's macro-strategy brain finally kicked into high gear. He pointed an accusing, trembling finger right at my deadpan, smirking face.
"Hey, Karrie, look at her eye! Look at her body language! I know this girl… she's a complete tsundere! On the outside she plays the cold tavern keeper, but on the inside she's a total, twisted pervert who loves to watch people suffer! She's straight up lying! She is literally trolling my entire existence right now for free entertainment metrics!"
"Pahahahaha! Oh, look at his little vanguard weapon stand at attention! Mommy Eirene is out here grabbing rank-and-file packages in broad daylight! You've completely broken his gamer mind, Mommy! Tell him you want his low-tier semen to balance out the elite commander's genes!" Plasma instantly materialized inside my skull, throwing his translucent head back in absolute, mocking hysterics
Before I could mentally thrash the ghost, the loud, rhythmic clanking of polished steel armor echoed nearby. A squad of high-ranking Luminous Knights suddenly rounded the corner, their sharp eyes scanning the lobby for any unusual activity.
Recognizing that the public attention metrics were about to shift into a dangerous territory, I instantly let go of Tae-man's trousers, stepped back, and smoothed down the front of my green kirtle. My massive crimson blood wings gave a relaxed, casual rustle as I dropped the sultry act, my voice instantly snapping back into its signature, flat, unbothered deadpan.
"Hey, relax, I'm just joking, I just wanted to see how fast a Seoul MOBA champion's heart rate could spike. The truth is, the father was actually that Immoral Knights commander, Cameron. I had to take his genetic material as a permanent biological tax during the Rebelbub Castle infiltration before I decapitated him. Tae-man's completely innocent." I said casually, letting out a lazy chuckle as I patted my round belly.
Tae-man slumped heavily against the stone pillar, sliding down it slightly as he clutched his chest in pure, unadulterated agony, his breathing ragged.
"Damn you, you absolute demon woman! You literally just gave me a goddamn heart attack! My heart rate went completely out of bounds! If my ranked MMR dropped because I died of embarrassment in a Bureau lobby, I would have haunted your restaurant forever!" Tae-man roared informaly, his eyes wide with a mix of intense relief and blistering fury as he glared up at me.
Miss Karrie's eyes nearly popped right out of her skull, her jaw dropping open as she pointed a shaky finger between me and the hallway where the armored guards were walking.
"Wait, wait, wait... Cameron? The actual freakin' Immoral Knights commander? The guy whose head was verified for that massive bounty a while back? He's the father of the kid inside you right now?!"
I gave a casual, slow nod, rubbing the side of my huge seven-month bump while my massive crimson wings gave a relaxed, lazy flap against the stone pillar.
"Yep. It was an occupational hazard. Infiltration hazards are real, Karrie."
Tae-man was still slumped against the wall, dragging his hands down his face as he let out a long, pathetic groan.
"No more of this crap, Roxanne. Seriously. That little stunt you just pulled was way too close to crossing the line. I could have gotten fired from my brand new job right on the spot!"
I tilted my head, my single jade-green eye looking down at his shiny new gear with a flat, unamused deadpan.
"What job? Last time I checked, you were just grinding basic street quests and complaining about your stats."
"Wait, you didn't know?! It was literally plastered all over the front page of the newspapers this morning! I officially passed the trials. I'm a newly enlisted member of the Capital Knights! That horny display you just pulled out there in the open lobby could have completely ruined my entire future before my first official shift!" Tae-man shouted, snapping his head up in disbelief.
I raised an eyebrow, looking him up and down. To be fair, despite his incredibly annoying gamer attitude and his constant light-novel delusions, the guy wasn't slacking. Back on Earth, his high-tier Korean MOBA training gave him insane mechanical reflexes and a crazy good sense of big-picture strategy. He treated combat fields like a tactical mini-map, knowing exactly when to dodge, hit, or break an enemy's defense. It made him a total beast in a fight. Even though he wasn't part of the flashy, silver-armored Luminous Knights division… the elite specialists who handle all the dangerous demon anomalies and high-tier bounties under Captain Friedrich… being part of the Capital Knights backbone was still a pretty big deal for a civilian recruit. He was basically the muscle of the main army now.
"Oh, wow. Look at you, a shiny new public servant, The rank-and-file elite backbone of the city. I'm so incredibly proud." I chuckled, offering a highly sarcastic, two-finger salute from my forehead.
"Don't give me that sarcastic attitude! The Capital Knights actually have a reputation to maintain, okay? If my captain thinks I'm out here knocking up high-ranking hybrid bounties in my spare time, they're going to kick me straight back to the novice guilds!" Tae-man hissed, straightening out his iron-leather armor and looking around nervously to make sure none of his new superiors were watching.
Karrie let out a loud, snorting laugh, crossing her arms as her anger completely melted into amusement.
"Oh, please, Tae-man. With your crazy reflexes, you probably could have dodged her hand if you actually wanted to. Admit it, your physical gaming body totally froze up because a hot girl actually touched you for once in your life."
"That was a status-inflicting surprise attack! A mechanical anomaly! Nobody can predict a seven-month pregnant vampire lord suddenly going full pervert in a government building!" Tae-man defended himself, his face flushing red again as he glared at her.
I just laughed, thoroughly satisfied with how much chaos I had caused in under five minutes.
"Alright, alright, calm down, Sir Knight. Your future is safe. Just don't call me a chuunibyou again, or next time, I'll make sure your captain actually does see us."
