Chapter Text
If you had told Kim Dokja that he'd get pregnant, he probably would've laughed.
He wasn't laughing now.
But let's go back two weeks and see why.
It all started when he, Yoo Joonghyuk, Lee Hyunsung and Lee Jihye stumbled upon a hidden dungeon at the Han River observation deck.
「 [Hidden Scenario - Aquatic Dungeon]
Category: Hidden
Difficulty: ―
Clear Conditions: Clear the infestation of 7th grade sea monster species 'Hippocampus Tentaculum'.
Time Limit: 24 hours
Compensation: 10,000 coins, improved respiration
Failure: ―
*Water breathing is in effect within the constraints of the dungeon 」
The four of them sunk below the murky waters of the Han River as the scenario window came up, the water clearing into a crystal blue reef.
"Woah," Lee Jihye's eyes went wide. He doesn't blame her, it was an impressive sight none of them would've seen otherwise. Distant light sparkled through the water from above, turning the coral structures vibrant colors. Observing the dungeon, Kim Dokja could make out walls of kelp. That must be the boundary.
Moving around under the water was a little odd, as it wasn't quite like it normally felt to be submerged. It reminded him more of his Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint: Third Person Observer Point of View, the floaty movements making him feel like a ghost.
Yoo Joonghyuk continued towards the arching coral trees, heading towards what looked like an entrance. They followed him inside to find what appeared to be a proper staircase. Heading down, they were met with an even bigger underwater realm. It truly felt like they were under the ocean, with the seascape set out in layers of stone and sand, going down deep. There was a huge stalk of kelp tethered in the middle of the entire place, the bottom of the room being clouded by the sheer depth.
"How is this even possible..?" Lee Hyunsung was amazed at the size of the space.
Before anyone could answer, they were interrupted by two of the monsters.
"Wahh!!" Lee Jihye cried, launching herself away from the one that approached her. "What the hell are these?!"
They looked like giant seahorses, except that they each had a dozen tentacles protruding from all over, their heads crowned in a way reminiscent of a squid. The prehensile limbs lashed out at all of them, and Kim Dokja sprang into action alongside Yoo Joonghyuk.
At their power, it was easy enough to take them down alone. But being easy didn't quite matter when there were so many. As soon as the fighting broke out, more of the hippocampi emerged from all around, easily starting to overwhelm them. An ominous energy permeated the battlefield, and Kim Dokja looked back to the center of the room.
[4th grade sea monster 'Queen Colossus' has appeared!]
Damn, she was definitely the head of the pack. The newcomer loomed over them, even bigger than the rest of the monsters. The queen let out a gurgled roar, and the monsters backed away, heading for the middle of the room.
The middle of the room...
Kim Dokja's thoughts were interrupted as the queen's tentacles flew towards the group, causing them all to scatter. He regained his composure from the attack, grabbing onto a coral branch to get a good vantage point.
"The center! Go down and destroy it at the base!" He called out to his team. "I'll keep the queen distracted!"
"Ahjussi will be alone?" Lee Jihye looked at him like he grew an extra head. Thankfully, Lee Hyunsung had trust in him.
"Dokja-ssi will be fine," He reassured her. "We'll support Mr. Yoo, we don't know how many will be down there."
Yoo Joonghyuk glance back at him. He nodded towards the middle, and the regressor took off with the other two. They sank quickly out of view, Kim Dokja turning back to the queen that went to follow.
"Hey!" He called out from the branch, letting go and launching himself to the ground. He took pride in the way he didn't stumble, looking up to the towering monster. Surprisingly, she pointed her snout upwards, her entire body brightening to almost fluorescent colors. Was she preparing a magic attack?
The queen looked back down at him, all tentacles reaching out. He fought back a few, but was quickly overwhelmed by what seemed to be over twenty of the limbs. He was soon restrained, his sword falling to the ground as he was lifted by the slimy grip. Damn it, he couldn't afford to die like this.
His squirming was interrupted by a sort of chirping noise, and the tentacles he had slashed at moved towards him. They had healed impressively quickly, barely showing any evidence of having been injured. Without warning, one of the tentacles pressed at his stomach.
"Wh-!" Kim Dokja gasped as the tentacle managed to slip under his waistband, rubbing along his soft cock and curling over to rub at his entrance. He shivered at the wet appendage pressing against his hole, insistently prodding until it got in. The only thought his mind supplied for him was the wondering of if he ended up in one of those infamous Japanese pornos.
The man squirmed, the tentacle pushing deep inside him. He was panting when he noticed he had been brought closer to the queen, his mind buzzing. The tentacles worked in tandem to remove his pants and spread his legs, others holding him by the waist and restraining his arms.
"You..!" Kim Dokja choked, it almost felt like the thick limb had pushed its way up to his throat. Then it slid out, instead moving to help position him over another tentacle.
Except.. that wasn't a tentacle.
Kim Dokja didn't get to fully see just what the appendage was before he was pressed down onto it. He cried out at the impossible stretch it brought, the massive size making him feel sick with pleasure he didn't know was possible.
Belatedly he remembered the fact about seahorses; that the males were the ones who carried offspring. Kim Dokja gasped as he felt the ovipositor press deep before finally stilling. For a few beats, she didn't move. And then it felt like his heart stopped at the horrifying realization of something being left inside him.
The queen deposited her eggs in his stomach, the pressure making him feel nauseous as she started floating upwards. Kim Dokja felt his belly swell, the monster's own seeming to shrink. His whole body shook with the sensations as he was brought back down, the appendage leaving him as a scenario notification rang.
He groaned as he was dropped to the ground, rolling away and scrambling towards his discarded bottoms. He was tugging his pants up hurriedly when Yoo Joonghyuk launched out of the middle of the room, flying right towards the queen.
"Keeok-!" The monster screeched as she was ruthlessly brought down by the protagonist.
[The hidden scenario 'Aquatic Dungeon' has been completed!]

Speaking of scenarios, what was he just given? Kim Dokja checked the scenario window, and his eyes widened as he dropped to the ground.

*This scenario contains several stages 」
What the hell?!
Kim Dokja's despair was interrupted by his own sword, and he looked up to see Yoo Joonghyuk glaring at him.
"I thought you could handle this," his entire demeanor was unimpressed and slightly enraged. Dark eyes went to sweep over his disheveled clothes and he stood up suddenly, surprising the regressor as he snatched his sword back.
"I'm fine, it was nothing." He snapped defensively, face feeling hot.
[You will now be teleported out of the dungeon.]
Kim Dokja watched Yoo Joonghyuk's confused face disappear as everything around them changed, morphing back to Seoul as they were placed atop the observation dock again.
"That was so cool!" Lee Jihye's eyes shone. Lee Hyunsung nodded alongside her, but his relaxed expression went tense when he saw the other two.
"Dokja-ssi, are you okay?" He gasped, fretting over his messed appearance. Lee Jihye laughed, smacking the soldier's back.
"Look, he's fine as you said! Master wasn't gonna let him get hurt anyway."
"Dokja-"
Thankfully, Yoo Joonghyuk was interrupted by Jung Heewon calling out to them. She approached on the back of a monster, several other monsters following with Shin Yoosung beside her.
"You guys, we found a condo!" The judge cheered, the monsters coming to a stop to let them get on. Shin Yoosung's brow scrunched with worry.
"Ahjussi, what happened?" Kim Dokja gave her a reassuring smile, patting her head gently.
"I'm okay, it was just a fight."
Jung Heewon rushed them to leave, so he climbed onto one of the monsters, ignoring the gaze burning holes into his back. Yoo Joonghyuk didn't seem to believe he was really okay. What gives?
Lee Jihye gushed excitedly to Jung Heewon about the dungeon as they made their way down the highway, breaking off onto lesser roads until they turned onto another street.
"Here it is!" Yoo Sangah and Lee Gilyoung were waving as they stopped outside the condominium complex, hopping off the beasts. Kim Dokja's eyes trailed to the school on the other side of the street.
"Dokja-ssi, are you coming?" Yoo Sangah's soft voice interrupted his thoughts. He waved off to the others as he made his way across the road.
"I'll catch up later, there's something I want to check."
Kim Dokja wandered the empty halls of Gangseo Technical High School, glancing into the open classrooms and offices as he made his way through the building. He stumbled into the library, browsing through all of the books. Anything that had to do with marine life was stuffed into his jacket, his eyes sweeping over all the titles.
He stopped and pulled out a biology book, opening it to flick through the pages. He flinched when he heard a voice from the doorway.
"What are you doing?" Yoo Joonghyuk's expression was carefully neutral as he observed the reader. Kim Dokja looked back down at the textbook, his stomach sinking with the page he got left on.
"You've been acting strange since the dungeon.." The regressor muttered, and Kim Dokja turned sharply. He held up the book, showing the page that displayed a diagram of female anatomy. Particularly, it was about pregnancy.
Yoo Joonghyuk stared at the page, his eyes sweeping over the image several times before he set a hard gaze on the other man.
"What is this joke?" Kim Dokja felt his face go hot with the immediate distrust. He shut the book with a snap, shoving it back onto the shelf.
"It's nothing." Yoo Joonghyuk opened his mouth to refute, but he was cut off. "Why are you here?"
It was silent for a moment as he was stared at, his own attention kept stubbornly on the books like he was still browsing.
"..There is food." Was the simple reply, Yoo Joonghyuk turning on his heel and leaving without another word.
After calming himself down, Kim Dokja headed back over to the condos at the promise of a meal. He continued to ignore the regressor as he chowed down, having his fill while he chatted away with the rest of the party. He made sure to keep his energy light, leaving no indication that anything was wrong.
The rest of the night passed without incident, and Kim Dokja was even able to secure a place for himself. He relished in having a proper bed for the night, the spacious mattress offering more comfort than what he had pre-apocalypse. However, the bed wasn't enough to stop him from feeling miserable next morning. Still, he pressed on.
[Time remaining: 22 hours.]
Kim Dokja groaned inwardly at the message as he stepped into his condo at the end of the day. As he was thinking about the scenario penalty, he was shocked by the door being met by resistance. He whipped around to see Yoo Joonghyuk shove his way in, the door slamming behind him as he leaned his back against it with folded arms.
"You," the pause made him sweat. "What happened in the dungeon?"
"Nothing, I said I'm fine." Kim Dokja fought.
[Yoo Joonghyuk has used 'Lie Detection'.]
[Your words have been proven to be false.]
Damn it, he knew he couldn't fool the protagonist. Kim Dokja looked away as his face got warm.
"...Why did you show me that book?" Yoo Joonghyuk questioned, brow furrowing. "You are a man?"
"I am," he replied embarrassingly fast, hanging his head with shame as he continued. "But.. I was given a scenario..."
"Scenario?" The regressor prompted, and Kim Dokja swallowed all of his pride as he looked up with as blank an expression as he could muster.
"Yes. Queen Colossus chose me to carry her offspring, and it must be fertilized."
It took a second for his words to sink in, and once they did he was met with an incredulous look.
"I'm not joking." He said flatly.
[Your words have been proven to be true.]
Yoo Joonghyuk covered his face with one hand, breathing out heavily.
"Okay."
"Okay..?"
"I'll do it."
Kim Dokja's body went cold. Just what did he think he was saying?!
"D-do what?! You aren't doing anything!" He stepped back nervously, the regressor pinning him with a look.
"Of course I am, you are my companion." Kim Dokja shivered. He'll never get used to being called that.
"You don't have to," he mumbled, looking away as his face burned hot. "I'll just fail the scenario.."
"What's the failure?"
Kim Dokja stayed silent for a moment. "..Physical penalties. I don't know what kind."
Yoo Joonghyuk glowered as his companion stammered out some half-assed reassurances. He stepped forward and picked up the smaller man, cutting him off as he yelped.
"Joong-?!" He gasped when he was dropped on the bed, the regressor hovering over him.
"The penalty could be dangerous if you were to engage in battle," his voice was low, sending shivers down the other's spine.
"Then I-" He was cut off again when a hand slid down his back. "Y-you're kidding.."
"I'm not," Yoo Joonghyuk stated firmly. He hooked a finger into the waistband of Kim Dokja's pants, looking him in the eyes silently.
It took him a moment to realize his companion was asking for consent. The action was surprisingly sweet, causing him to melt slightly as he covered his reddened face.
"Go ahead," he breathed nervously. Yoo Joonghyuk expertly removed his pants, causing him to shiver and squeeze his legs together in embarrassment.
"Relax," a firm hand was placed on his knee, rubbing gentle circles. Kim Dokja took a shuddering breath as he tried to relax, but he still flinched when his underwear was taken off. The awkwardly tense situation had him still soft, and he shifted uncertainly once more.
The regressor took in his condition and moved his hands up instead. He caressed the reader's sides as he pushed his shirt up to expose the skin of his stomach. Yoo Joonghyuk brushed a hand over his abdomen, feeling out the slight bump from the eggs inside. Kim Dokja found the intimacy of the action rather attractive, feeling his entire body go warm at the touch ghosting across his skin. He found himself easing back against the pillows as his arousal grew. If the protagonist noticed, he didn't say anything. Instead, the steady hands made their way up higher, massaging over the flat chest.
"Joonghyuk," Kim Dokja pulled his attention when a finger brushed over his nipple. "Hurry.."
He nodded as he moved back down his companion's body, parting his legs and raising his hips. The man stopped a moment, looking up.
"Is there any lube?" He shook his head. He'd searched the whole room the moment he'd entered and didn't find anything of the sort.
"That's fine." Yoo Joonghyuk moved down, settling between his companion's legs as his hips were lifted off the bed by the strong grip on his thighs.
"What-" Kim Dokja yelped at the wet muscle pressing against his entrance, the regressor's face disappearing between his thighs. He gasped and covered a moan as the tongue lapped at his hole, able to easily slide in thanks to the stretch still remaining from yesterday.
[Personal skill 'The Fourth Wall' shakes!]
YEAH, NO KIDDING??
Yoo Joonghyuk was oblivious to the ongoing mental struggle as he ate out his companion's ass. Kim Dokja thinks his brain fried at the sensation, completely missing when a few fingers had slipped in alongside the tongue. He fought against his personal skill as it assaulted him with messages, focusing back in when the regressor raised his head.
"Okay?" It was a simple question, but he was still surprised just how gentle this ruthless man could be. He nodded wordlessly, the scarred back of a hand brushing over his inner thigh before the touches disappeared completely.
Yoo Joonghyuk unbuckled his belts, sliding his pants halfway down his thighs as his cock sprang free.
"No, nope. Absolutely not." Kim Dokja snapped his legs shut when he saw the massive girth. The damn thing looked bigger than the tentacles.
The protagonist frowned. "What?"
"Th-that won't fit, there's no way.." He paled.
"It'll fit." The confidence was astounding. Yoo Joonghyuk brushed over his waist softly, gently grabbing his hips as he pushed his body between his legs. He pressed against him, their thighs flush together as he placed his length atop him. The tip almost reached his navel, twice the size of his own cock that twitched pathetically at the contact.
"I'll be careful," he reassured softly as he pulled back, pressing tip to entrance. "Try to relax, and tell me if it hurts."
Kim Dokja could only nod wordlessly as he was stretched. It wasn't terribly uncomfortable, but it definitely wasn't as easy as the slick tentacle of the sea monster was. He held his breath and the pressure increased, becoming almost too much. He was about to say so when the regressor bottomed out and they both sighed.
"Okay?" The soft question was repeated, a hand reaching up to brush aside a tear he didn't know was trying to leave his eye.
"O-okay," he nodded, thighs trembling. Yoo Joonghyuk continued to rub at his face as he let him adjust, Kim Dokja steadying his breathing. This guy has to be inhuman, no way he was as deep as the monster. He could feel the clutch disturbed by the cock inside him, causing them to press against the walls of his stomach to accommodate the extra addition. He felt stuffed in the same way he would if he ate a heavy meal, his belly aching and making him want to lay still for hours.
He probably would've done just that had Yoo Joonghyuk not gotten impatient, the regressor leaning back to pull out before pressing back in. Kim Dokja's entire body jolted with the shocking pleasure as the agonizing pace continued, slow yet hard slides that hit him deep. He felt like his guts were being rearranged, the protagonist trying to make a spot for himself inside but the eggs bringing resistance.
"Aagh," his head fell back with a soft thump, a white-knuckled grip on the sheets below. Yoo Joonghyuk shifted his position, pushing his hips up just slightly as he picked up speed. How the hell was he able to go deeper?
Kim Dokja thinks he's going insane, thoughts filled with nothing but the heat in his stomach fueled by the harsh thrusts of his companion. He released the bedsheets, trembling hands finding their way to the ones holding him. The pleasure built up in a way that made him rock his hips, neglected cock twitching happily as he was stimulated from inside.
Yoo Joonghyuk moved one hand from the plush thigh it held, pushing against Kim Dokja's hand to squeeze it reassuringly. Their fingers intertwined in a way far too intimate for their relationship, but the pleasure drowned out any reasoning.
"F-faster, ah!" He moaned, biting his lip to try and keep a bit quieter. "Ooh-hyuk. Close.." His eyes closed at the pure bliss of the hips slamming against himself, the pressure in his gut growing exponentially.
Their foreheads touched together as Yoo Joonghyuk bent over him, hot breaths casting across his face. The protagonist continued to hit deep, the quick thrusts being swapped with a hard grinding. Kim Dokja could feel the thick tip that dragged along his insides, rubbing against the eggs as well as his walls.
"Dokja," the rough moan sent shivers down his body. "Dokja. Dokja," the repeated grunts were too erotic, causing him to tighten around the dick inside as he came.
Yoo Joonghyuk's head fell to his neck as he continued to rock their hips together, dragging a cacophony of broken moans from his companion. It didn't take much longer for himself to come undone, spilling thick drops in the tight heat that milked him dry.
The room was filled with only the panting of the two men as they lay tangled together, coming down from their highs. Kim Dokja felt like he could fall asleep...
[The scenario has been updated.]
He turned his head to the side, accidentally disturbing the regressor as he read the updated scenario.
[Clear conditions: Incubate the brood until hatching.]
[Time limit: none.]
[Time remaining: 4 weeks.]
"Did it work?" Yoo Joonghyuk questioned as he sat up, slipping out of Kim Dokja's warmth. Despite losing the connection, he still felt full. Looking down, his stomach was still bulged by the eggs. He should be able to hide it under his clothes.
"Mhm," he shifted nervously. "Four weeks.."
"Not that long," the regressor said nonchalantly as he carefully parted soft flesh to look at the hole he used. "Huh."
"What..?" Kim Dokja was uncomfortable. Why was he still touching him there?
Yoo Joonghyuk thought for a second before he stopped looking. "I guess it absorbed everything," his gaze turned to his companion's chest, looking at the stripes of white from his own pleasure.
"I'll get you a towel," he murmured, tucking himself back into his clothes as he got up to leave the room. Kim Dokja could only groan, covering his eyes with one arm and squeezing his thighs together. He can't believe he agreed to this, his back aching from the strain of sex.
No. He can't even say it was sex, more like a bizarre mating situation. He's never felt more like an animal, the way he got lost in the heat of the moment where all he could do was diligently accept his companion.
He flinched when a cool cloth touched his skin, moving his arm to see Yoo Joonghyuk wiping up his stomach gently. This careful side of the protagonist he'd loved for years continued to catch him off guard, but it was hard to say he hated it. Lie Detection would call him out immediately.
"Okay?" Dark eyes locked onto his, the continuous support was overwhelming. All he could do was nod, turning to hide his face in the pillow.
"Mmh, 'm tired," his muffled voice carried far enough for his companion to hear. The cold cloth left his cleaned skin, and strong hands moved to his shoulders. He barely had to move as his jacket was worked off of him, removed from his body and the bed. The touch on his ankles was gentle as his feet were coaxed into the holes of his briefs. An intense feeling made his chest tight, and he thinks he might have a heart attack.
He felt impossibly relaxed as he was covered with a blanket. Turning his head so he could look at the other man, his voice sounded pleadingly small.
"Are you leaving?" Yoo Joonghyuk turned back to look at him, an emotion unknown to him gracing his features.
"Do you want me to stay?" Soft. Incredibly soft. He never could've imagined such a soft voice used towards him, nonetheless one from his favorite story's protagonist. He felt warm as he nodded, shifting aside to make room as the regressor shed his coat. He pulled the blanket back to let the bigger man slide under, the previously spacious bed feeling a bit more cramped. But he didn't quite mind when strong arms hesitantly wrapped around him.
Leaning his forehead against the sturdy chest made him feel safe, sinking ever deeper into the comfort from the heartbeat below his touch.
