Woo-jin's Abyss (1)
“You bastard, you tricked me!”
From oppa to bastard in an instant. Whatever, I wouldn’t be seeing her anymore anyway.
“You’re the one who tricked me. I just told you the truth.”
“What?”
“You’re the one who cheated. All I asked for was one time as payment to keep my mouth shut. But who kept seducing me nonstop?”
“I did everything you wanted! So why the hell did you have to tell oppa about it?!”
“He figured it out somehow and came charging in, threatening to kill me. So I spilled everything. I have to survive too, you know.”
“You… fucking….”
Her face twisted into a demon’s snarl as she ground her teeth. Pretty girl to psycho bitch in the blink of an eye.
“I told her to come listen for herself since she wanted to hear it straight from you. I tied you up just in case you’d make a scene.”
“You still helped her in the end!”
“I told you. I have to look out for myself. Who knows what a pissed-off guy like that might do?”
I steered the conversation toward her boyfriend, the kiss they shared.
“Anyway, shouldn’t you get out of here? Once he wakes up, he’ll probably try to kill you again. I’m not helping anymore.”
She snapped to her senses and scrambled away from her writhing boyfriend on the floor, hurriedly throwing on her clothes. All the while glaring daggers at me.
“Just you wait. You think I’ll let this slide?”
“Bring it.”
She stomped her foot at my taunt and stormed out.
She’d probably hole up somewhere to avoid her boyfriend for now. No wonder she wanted those memories wiped—it came in handy right away. With all that resentment, she wouldn’t remember ever being tangled up with me at all.
About ten minutes later, her boyfriend came to… but his face was corpse-pale.
“Sorry about knocking you out. Couldn’t risk you causing a scene.”
“Where’s Ah-young?”
“She bolted when she saw you go down.”
“…….”
“I’ve done what I could. You’re on your own now. Keep her or dump her.”
He staggered out. He glanced back at me from the doorway, his eyes unreadable. What the hell were they saying?
The apartment fell quiet, like nothing had happened.
I used the Pluscon and Minuscon I’d gotten as rewards.
> Height/Weight: 170.5cm / 95kg
Dropping 3kg definitely made me feel lighter. Couldn’t do much about my innate face, but lose some more weight and grow a bit taller, and it’d help with the quests. Any quest would involve women, after all.
Out of the 50 points I’d earned, I spent 10 on aphrodisiac, leaving 40. I set half aside as backup and invested 20 in Sexual Power.
> Sexual Power: 035/255
Not only does it boost sexual performance, it also enhances confidence in life, interpersonal skills, and work ability. Invest continuously!
> 000~030: Joke Level (Pathetic, no appeal)
> 031~060: So-So (Average)
> 061~090: Not Bad (Competent)
> 091~120: Decent (Good)
[Reactions for Sexual Power 121+ will be revealed upon achievement.]
Handy how it spells it out like this—super intuitive. Right now, I’m at a middling “So-So.” To get a reaction like Ah-young’s, I’d probably need over 120.
> Possession Shop Cash: 300,000 won
The cash reward showed up under Possession Shop. No info on where to spend it, huh. No explanation anywhere in the status window. Didn’t need it right away, so I let it slide. Not like 300,000 won made or broke me.
Curious about the clear bonus, I opened the [Item] menu.
[A box that randomly dispenses items. Rare items unavailable in the Point Shop may appear, but duds exist too.]
I opened the random box right away.
Expression Con
Congratulations!
Expression Con? What’s that?
[Item that enriches facial expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. When used during sex, the partner’s lewd expressions become far more vivid. Grants additional aphrodisiac effect.]
Meh reward. What woman holds back her expressions during sex? Even with a guy she hates, excitement loosens her face—that’s just how women are.
They gave it, so it must be useful somehow. Stash it for now.
All rewards claimed. I was about to close the status window when I thought the next quest might pop any second, so I opened [Point Shop]. Figured I’d stock up on useful items ahead of time.
First thing that came to mind: MC Aphrodisiac. It was invincible for banging women, as proven on Ah-young. And only 10 points.
But reality hit hard.
> MC Aphrodisiac: 1,000pt
Price jacked up 100x from free. Tutorial clear gave me 50 points. Assuming other quests are similar, I’d need 20 clears just to afford one. No wonder it was tutorial-only. Couldn’t handle Ah-young with my subpar Sexual Power, so they hooked me up with the god-tier item at a “discount.” Back to full price now.
Sexual Power’s still average, so I need boosters….
Luckily, there was a cheap one.
> Sexual Power Booster: 10pt
[Temporarily boosts Sexual Power by +100. Lasts until ejaculation. Activates only if presented conditions are met. 50% chance to make partner orgasm.]
The “presented conditions” sounded sketchy, but beggars can’t be choosers. Until I could satisfy women on my own, I’d rely on items.
At 135 Sexual Power, she won’t complain at least. And 50% orgasm? Pound hard enough to hit it.
Spent 10 points on the Sexual Power Booster.
Two days later, guys who looked like moving company workers came up and cleared out the neighbor’s stuff. Probably reclaiming what her boyfriend bought. I peeked on the way by—no sign of Ah-young or him. Once the place was empty, new tenants would move in. Wouldn’t see those two again.
…I used to think that too, damn it.
“Hyung. I’m here.”
“Why do you keep coming? That eager to see the guy who fucked your girl?”
“Tell me about it. I must be nuts.”
Hyun Woo-jin, Ah-young’s ex, started dropping by like he owned the place. First time, I grabbed a stun gun thinking revenge, but he showed up loaded with booze, wanting to grab a drink.
“I’m two years younger, so I’ll call you hyung.”
“Do what you want.”
A few drinks in, the wariness melted away.
“Normally, thinking of Ah-young should make me wanna kill you. But seeing you again? Nah. Must be ‘cause you’re such a weirdo, hyung.”
“Weirdo? How?”
“Hmm… First off, that skill she was hooked on. How’d a guy with your looks rub up on a total model like her? But there she was, under you, panting and moaning she loved you and shit. Wanted to die then, but now? That’s some cheat-code power no one else has. How’s a hog like you packing that?”
Insult or compliment?
“Say shit like that again and get out. You contribute to me being a hog?”
“It’s a compliment, so keep listening.”
Turns out he wasn’t a wimp—he was a total psycho.
“And you saved me. Thought you were crazy at first, but you really are my benefactor.”
He’d met all her fuckbuddies, he said. Started with excuses, but a bit of cash and they spilled everything. Even warned him to steer clear.
“Felt like I’d die without Ah-young, but after hearing all that? Wondered what the hell I was even loving. You gave me that wake-up call.”
Serious face now, unlike before.
“Doesn’t matter if you meant well or not. You peeled off whatever blinders were on me. Thanks for real, hyung.”
“Told you, wasn’t trying to help. Never played the hero, so no need to thank me.”
“That mindset’s what’s weird. Gonna stick around and figure you out slow. Heh heh.”
Ugh, goosebumps. Shouldn’t have saved his ass.
“And—this is the big one….”
Even more serious now.
“Thanks to you, hyung, I finally know what I’m into.”
“What the hell?”
“First time watching you and Ah-young fuck, I was raging. But halfway? The rage flipped. Got so fucking horny. I came for real—excited. Hands free, I’d have jerked off more.”
Couldn’t help the what the fuck, human? face.
This was that netorare fetish from hentai?
“Your hipwork, that bitch mocking me from under you while squealing, whispering she loved you as you creampied her… Ahh, you lit the path for me, hyung. Can’t live without you now.”
“You crazy bastard!!”
Like hell I’d hear this shit from some dark-skinned dude.
