Chapter 2 - Given Responsibility
[MC POV]
"By the way, what are you doing here so early?"
Slap!!
I asked my slutty maid while slapping her perky ass.
"Ahh~"
She jolted with a startled moan and rolled onto her side.
"His Majesty the king, Kubera, is waiting in the dining room. He told me to call you for breakfast. It seems that he has an important announcement to make as you have turned twenty."
The busty maid finally managed to answer. But her voice was still filled with the afterglow of pleasure.
"What does he want now?"
With a tired sigh, I dragged my gaze away from the naked woman beside me. I then pushed myself out of bed and went to wash up.
Once I finished freshening myself, I dressed calmly and headed toward the dining room to face my ancestor, the king Kuber.
I even forget about the freshly fucked, cum-soaked maid in the bed.
…
…
The man with a kingly aura was sitting at the dining table. He had the same blond hair as mine, along with eyes that looked blurred yet impossibly deep.
As the King of Wealth, he was dressed in an extravagant Tang-style robe, decorated with the finest diamonds. Several mysterious necklaces and other rare ornaments hung from his neck and wrists, each one radiating its own presence.
A wide variety of luxurious dishes filled the table. Even a single plate here costs more than what an ordinary family spent in an entire year.
"You are late."
"Uh, I overslept." I waved my hand lazily and answered without much care.
"Hmmm… sit down."
We began eating quietly, the clinking of utensils the only sound in the vast dining hall.
After a while, he finally spoke. "You are eighteen now. It's time for you to take on some responsibility."
"What? Responsibility?" I froze as I was genuinely surprised.
As one of the highest nobles, the concept of work was completely foreign to me. Nearly 99.99 percent of the descendants of the Three Kings spent their lives drowning in luxury.
I mean, if you possessed nearly unlimited wealth, commanded the strongest military, and practically ruled the entire world, what was the point of working?
That was why most royal nobles like me wasted their days in indulgence. They buy whatever we want. Food, slaves, and sometimes even entire countries. And they buy without even a second thought.
"Yes. Although we are the noblest of all and descendants of the goddess, luxury and hollow competition have turned most of our people useless. They are pampered to the point where they can't even handle the simplest task."
I silently agreed. Most nobles truly were useless. They spent their days drowning in food and alcohol, buying slaves for entertainment, and making them fight for amusement. They were uneducated and unaware of the world's politics.
All they understood was that they were the most powerful and the most noble people in existence—and, in a way, they were right. If even a single royal noble were harmed, an entire country would suffer for it. Sometimes, a whole nation could be wiped out just to make an example.
"I have observed you for years. Although your strength is weak, you are one of the most intelligent and cunning among the nobles. You actually think before you act, and you have a decent brain in that head of yours—unlike my other pig-headed descendants."
'If I were like the others, it would be shameful as a transmigrated person.'
"So, I am giving you a task of utmost importance."
I straightened unconsciously as I was genuinely surprised by how serious he sounded.
"Please, do tell."
"You know about the Great Sand Kingdom, Sahara, right?"
"Yes. It's one of the rare large islands in this world. The ancestors of its king even had a connection to the goddess."
In a world where ninety percent of the surface was covered in ocean, most land existed as small or medium-sized islands. A super-sized island like Sahara was an extremely rare occurrence. It was once connected to the goddess and had been one of the most powerful kingdoms in ancient times.
But as the centuries passed, its strength declined for many reasons.
Its economy weakened, its military power dwindled, and because the entire land was a desert, progress became nearly impossible.
The sandstorms and climate made development difficult, and I had even heard that droughts and the lack of rain were pushing the people to their limits.
"Yes," he continued, "the original king was close to the goddess. They settled there instead of the Moon Palace due to some disagreement. At that time, they held special status and great power. But things have changed. And now, I believe it is time to conquer that land. Leaving a super-island in the hands of an incompetent king is a waste."
"So…? What can I do? I don't think I can be of any help."
I stared at him. The old man was clearly spouting nonsense. How was I, someone without power or special abilities, supposed to conquer an entire kingdom?
"Although we could win with our navy and military," he said calmly, "a starving camel is still larger than a horse. It's better to break them from the inside."
"What do you mean?"
"You will go there and marry the kingdom's only princess. Then, you will find a way to take control of the entire country."
'Huh?? Is this man an idiot despite being the King of Wealth?'
Even if I was considered smart, controlling an entire nation was another story. It was like telling someone to marry the president's daughter and somehow take control of the whole United States.
"And how am I supposed to do that?"
"That's your problem," he said, tapping the table. "It's also a test. If you pass it, you will be granted the position of Elder."
'Elder…?'
The Elder position was just one step below the king. Elders commanded the marines, controlled finances, and held partial military authority. It was the highest rank possible aside from the throne itself.
"It's not just about conquering the Sahara Kingdom, right?" I asked quietly.
Although the kingdom was large, it made no sense to conquer it purely for benefit. It had no special resources, no exceptional industries, and no profitable exports. If I somehow took control, I would have to solve all its current problems—the political instability, the weak economy, the lack of trade, and most importantly, the water shortage.
In short, the kingdom wasn't worth the effort.
"As expected of you," he said with satisfaction. "Yes, conquering the Sahara Kingdom isn't profitable on the surface. But there are other factors—factors that will bring tremendous benefits to us. And you might gain unexpected rewards as well."
'There really is a deeper scheme and benefits behind this. Not surprising, considering the kingdom's ancient connection to the goddess. Even a small remnant of that could shake the world.'
"Alright," I sighed, "but I need some power. You know I'm just an ordinary person. I'm quite weak."
"Don't worry. You can take a few private Royal Knights or some powerful marines as your bodyguards."
"Okay."
…
…
After finishing dinner, I stood up and headed toward my room.
Although the task sounded difficult, I was confident I could accomplish it. The reason was simple—unlike the natives of this world, I was a transmigrated person, and I possessed a golden finger. A cheat. A system.
It had remained inactive for years, but today, on my eighteenth birthday, it finally awakened.
The cheat was straightforward. The more sex I had, the stronger I became. The more I fucked, the more I evolved. I even had the chance to gain abilities depending on the power and status of the woman.
Leaving the dining hall behind, I chose a random path to the left. The corridor stretched endlessly before me, lined with identical doors and several golden statues.
There were also mysterious stone carvings and ornate busts placed strategically along the walls, as if the entire palace followed a hidden artistic design.
While I had experienced my share of adventures, I had never actually visited the Royal Library before.
After all, why would I go to a place full of dusty books when I could spend my time having 'fun' instead?
But now, given my new task, it was time to finally find that library and search for information about the Sahara Kingdom.
'That old man was acting way too suspicious when he told me to conquer that kingdom. There is definitely something he's hiding.'
So I continued walking, keeping my eyes open for any signboards or clues.
The Moon Palace was enormous. Its corridors seemed endless, each twist leading to another pleasure chamber or a hidden courtyard filled with rare exotic plants.
When I was younger, I doubted I could even find my way out of this place without a maid or a map.
After several turns, I stopped in front of a pair of wooden double doors.
I could hear faint movement on the other side, so I pressed my hands against the door and slowly pushed it open.
The doors creaked softly, revealing rows upon rows of towering bookshelves. But what caught my eye wasn't the books.
Instead, I saw a curvy, voluptuous body with her ass raised high toward the door.
My dick hardened instantly at the sight of such a perfect, breedable ass.
