“Wh-what the hell?”
“Did oppa just open the door?”
“I was talking to you, what’s that noise?”
The three of them jumped in shock as the shrine door suddenly swung open, their heads whipping toward it in unison.
The faces of the people at the front of the waiting line outside were ghostly pale, as if they’d seen an actual ghost. Ignoring their reactions, the door that had burst open slid smoothly shut again, unleashing screams from outside.
“What was that? Is this for real?”
“Nah, it’s gotta be a hidden camera. They probably rigged something on the door.”
“I saw it open just now—there was nothing there.”
The man and woman seated in front of Kim Do-yeon craned their necks with audible creaks to stare at her.
The man forced a bold laugh.
“Ha! Haha, someone’s just messing around.”
The way he eyed Kim Do-yeon made it clear he was thinking, You set this up, didn’t you?
Kim Do-yeon was just as startled, but since this was her second time experiencing it, she managed to keep a poker face.
Still, her heart pounded wildly.
Is he here? He came, right? That’s him, isn’t it?
“Gulp.”
Silence settled over the shrine. But nothing else happened.
As Kim Do-yeon wondered what to do next, her eyes darted around, and she noticed the pen on the desk twitching slightly.
Glancing up at the couple without moving her head, she saw they hadn’t noticed.
Kim Do-yeon casually picked up the pen. It felt heavier than it should, as if someone else were holding it.
As she lightly gripped it, the pen moved on its own, guiding her hand across the paper. Words began appearing automatically.
She focused all her nerves on her fingertips to make it look like she was writing them herself.
Kim Ki-soo. Lee Hyo-jin?
Recalling that the ghost she’d met before knew her own name, she cautiously voiced the names on the paper.
“Ahem. Hm! Kim... Ki-soo?”
“Gasp!”
Oh man, damn it. Nailed it.
“Whoa—amazing! O-oppa, when did you come here before?”
“I’ve never been here. You’re the one who dragged me.”
“Ahem? And the lady... Lee Hyo-jin?”
“Hah!”
She’d only guessed their names, but the woman kept muttering “goosebumps, goosebumps” while rubbing her arms frantically.
Heh heh.
It was incredibly satisfying to see the suspicious couple from moments ago freaking out.
Whoosh!
Buoyed by her success, Kim Do-yeon snatched the folding fan from the desk and snapped it open with flair.
Fwsh, fwsh.
With a seductive expression, she fanned herself while gazing idly at a corner of the room, her hair swaying in the breeze.
“Ah...”
While the two were mesmerized by her mystical aura, she peeked at the paper from behind the fan.
Man: 1990.04.25 Woman: 1994.07.28 Ghost dude’s got details for days.
“You two have a four-year age gap? Oh, don’t freak out over every little thing. It’s all right there on your faces.”
Wink.
About fifteen minutes later, the group waiting outside watched in a daze as the man and woman emerged from the shrine, entranced.
“What’d she say? Did she nail it?”
“No joke, she knows everything. Look, I’ve got chills all over.”
“Pfft, they’re probably plants. All scripted.”
“No way! Go in yourself!”
Kim Do-yeon folded her fan, listening to the excited buzz outside, and gazed blissfully into empty space.
“Haa... Succubus Lord, you came, right? Right?”
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ I didn’t visit Do-hwa-dang until the full two weeks of our agreement had passed—not to tease her, but because I’d been swamped.
Dealing with the frost attack, sorting out the shop issues, picking skills... I’d been too busy.
Figuring a fortune-telling spot wasn’t going anywhere, I showed up at ‘Do-hwa-dang’—only to find a massive line snaking out front. And a huge banner hanging to the side.
[Drop by out of curiosity about my looks, and you’ll get an earful! July 14th. The most bewitchingly beautiful spirit medium in history arrives.]
A provocative photo of Kim Do-yeon thrusting her folding fan forward with downcast eyes hung proudly on display.
“Doratman.”
Whoa, what a unique character.
I wondered what she’d done to drum up this crowd, but from my perspective, it was pure gold.
I’d been pondering how to draw people in for promotion, and here she was pulling them like a pro—turns out pretty girls are three-time civil service exam champs for a reason.
The photo might’ve had a bit of Photoshop magic, looking prettier than the real thing, but after a few days of my skin-tone massages, she’d surpass it easy.
Plus, July 14th? That’s today. What if I hadn’t shown up? Does this girl actually have divine powers?
I glanced at the banner again. If a real fox spirit descended to earth, this is what she’d look like—dripping with raw allure. The kind of face that gets you hard just looking at it!
“Tch. Gotta bang her soon.”
I’d even planned the method. Totally peaceful and humane. But there was a snag...
“This damn quest.”
📜 NEW QUEST 📜 Deflowering the Shrine Maiden
📍 No Time Limit
📍 Trigger: Target's job is shrine maiden class
📍 Success: Witness deflowering blood during first intercourse with target
🎁 Reward: Points x2, Luck +50, Unlock Linked Quest
Deflowering blood.
When talking about women, “deflowering” usually means popping the cherry.
Yeah, the cherry. Could pop it, sure. I just did mine recently. Already popped a few others. So when I first saw the quest, I thought, Why’s this one so easy?
Until I remembered she wasn’t a virgin.
“What the hell kind of quest is this...!”
Add “virgin” to the trigger conditions!
“Should I just ditch it?”
Success requires seeing blood on first time. No blood means auto-fail. Maybe wait for another quest later?
“But the rewards are too good.”
Luck +50. It’s a post-life stat, unrelated to my actual luck, but it influences system stuff like gacha pulls. Back in my trash character days, I’d scoff, but after pulling [Invincibility] recently and reaping the benefits, I couldn’t ignore Luck anymore.
Plus unlocking a linked quest. I’d cleared Frost’s chain and scored a [Familiar] level-up coupon worth 125,000 points.
Rewards too juicy to drop, so I still hadn’t sealed the deal with Kim Do-yeon.
Searched skills for “virgin,” “hymen,” etc.—nothing came up.
“It says ‘deflowering blood,’ so maybe just see blood? Get close later and suggest hymen reconstruction surgery?”
Not sure if the system acknowledges modern medicine.
Anyway, that’s why banging Kim Do-yeon was on hold.
Sigh, think about it later. Time to make some cash today.
Snapping out of it, I scratched my head at the endless line outside Do-hwa-dang.
How do I get in there?
Short deliberation later, I figured waltzing in openly would be free promo, so I flew over the crowd and opened the door.
“...Gasp, what?!”
Great reaction!
The guy right at the front froze, thinking the door opened from inside, then freaked when no one was there. The shock rippled down the line.
Inside, she’d already started with customers—bold move. Having seen her stripped bare already, her anxiety was obvious to me.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ ⚡ Name: Kim Ki-soo 📅 DOB: 1990.04.25 ⚔ STATUS ⚔ ⚡ Name: Lee Hyo-jin 📅 DOB: 1994.07.28 Using the pen and paper on her desk, I relayed the info via Status Reveal.
She’d been shaking her legs under the desk moments ago, but now she shamelessly devoured the info I fed her.
“...So, how’s that? Spot on, right? If you’ve heard enough, off you go.”
“No way...”
“Oppa, I’m scared.”
The poor customers shivered out the door, replaced by fresh meat.
No guilt over scamming them for cash.
Status showed hidden talents and kinks they didn’t even know about. Using that, I gave spot-on advice for jobs, compatibility—better than any pro consultant. Worth every penny.
Plus, [Status Reveal]—leveled up to check Oh Jong-hyuk’s skills—was a game-changer.
⚔ STATUS REVEAL ⚔ R, Lv.2
Skills and status ailments viewable. Subject info viewable. Status ailments even listed medical history—what hurt, what was wrong health-wise.
Boosted her consultations big time.
[Headaches, dizziness.]
I scribbled on the paper with the pen; her eyes flicked down.
“Lately, your head’s been spinning and throbbing, right? That’s ‘cause a spirit’s on your head.”
She’d done this since childhood, so she could bullshit with the best. Even without powers, she’d sweet-talked clients. Now with my help, she was scamming like a pro with wings.
Sometimes, my massage skills gave instant results.
“Your back’s messed up, huh? I can see it clear as day. Take this talisman... Huh? Oh, hold on... No, wasn’t talking to you. Wait a sec.”
[Possible] Seeing the two words on the paper, Kim Do-yeon sidled to the corner and lowered her voice.
“Oh, you can do that too? Huh? Have him lie face-down? Of course! Heh heh heh.”
Rubbing her hands slyly, she turned back to the customer and boomed.
“Ahem! This is pricey usually, but your face says good karma, so I’ll do it free. Lie down.”
I told her just to pretend to place hands. As the guy lay prone, I laid my hands on his back and activated [Skin-Tone Masseur].
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ [Skin-Tone Masseur] Instant relief / Full recovery possible
His weird moans filled the room.
“Guhh, ow! Ugh, ahh!”
Kim Do-yeon flinched in surprise!
“Kuhuhuhu? Hah, hah.”
The guy twitched, then sat up, twisted his back experimentally, and his eyes went wide.
“No pain. It’s gone! Ooooh, for real. Oooh.”
As he thanked her profusely, she didn’t forget to drop a line.
“It’ll come back soon! Next time, get a talisman!”
“Th-then do one now?”
“Hold on.”
She retreated again, whispering.
I told her I couldn’t make talismans yet. She’d try to milk every drop, huh?
No clue if such a skill existed. I’d search later—in the meantime, send him off.
“Oh, not yet... Yeah, head out for now.”
Turning back.
“Ahem! Try it out first. Come back if it hurts.”
“I’ll pay extra...”
“Hey! Just go today? Talisman on top would overpower your energy!”
“R-really? Got it.”
Just like that, we raked in a fortune in one day. Kim Do-yeon was so thrilled handling the cash she skipped lunch.
I pulled candy from Inventory, popped it in my mouth, then felt bad eating alone and slipped one into hers. She freaked.
“Succubus Lord is amazing...”
Most customers today were average Joes lured by her looks—no big spenders dropping hundreds like I’d hoped. No talisman or ritual seekers either.
Still, six million won in a day. All cash!
Impressive for a first go. Word spreads, whales will come.
After all customers left.
“Kim Do-yeeooon. You didn’t forget our deal, right?”
“Of c-course! Here’s your half... Eek!”
I sucked the cash into Inventory; she bowed frantically.
She bought the bullshit that dirty human greed empowered the succubus.
Meanwhile, her Succubus Lord was dreaming of a golden future.
Three mil a month? Ninety million a year! Billionaire salary! Sure, I’d have to do massages too, so not here full-time.
Ugh, finally found this honey hole. Should’ve skipped the masseur gig? Just farm cash here?
No. Need points to save Pomi’s sister. Massages are legit point farm.
Screw it, stack cash here and hit brothels. Call ten at a time, Essence Absorb slurp—next ten. More efficient.
As my split-personality kicked in, her voice cut through.
“Succubus Lord? Y-you there? Thanks for today.”
I barely snapped out of my greed.
Right. Chae-yeon sis hooked me up with the job. Yeon Du and Hong-seop cheered me on.
Yoon Mi-so juggled my client schedule.
Gotta have some conscience.
Buy the kids beef with today’s haul. Pomi and Frost’ll love it.
“Um... Succubus Lord?”
“Huh? Ahem! You did good too. I’m off then...”
To buy beef for the kids.
“Succubus Lord!”
“Yeah?”
“Wh-when next time...?”
Recalling Yoon Mi-so’s schedule from this morning, I told her my free days and left Do-hwa-dang.
