⚔ STATUS ⚔ [Target] *Due to the effects of the target's sexual preferences [Yandere] and [Jealousy Fetish], [Jealousy] has been added to the status.

Success: Love her periodically. Reward: Points x2 Failure: ?? Jealousy gauge? My man?
Every time I check it, something new keeps popping up! Talents have increased too, and that fantasy... G-Gotta close it fast. Dismiss!
Shuuuk. "Huff... huff..."
I confirmed the stat window vanishing and let out ragged breaths. I could feel the passengers nearby staring at me.
I sat there awkwardly for a moment until the announcement said this was my stop. Then I hurriedly prepared to get off.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Oppa, are you okay? Your face looks pale."
The moment I arrived at the shop, Yeon Du-na asked with a worried look.
"N-No, it's nothing."
"You look a bit white... Huh? Did you put on BB cream or something?"
"Huh? BB cream? No, I didn't."
"Really? It looks like you did."
"I didn't, I swear. I'm not a girl or anything. I don't even have that stuff at home."
"Okay?"
It's the era where guys do makeup too, but if I'd been doing that all this time, I wouldn't still be forever alone... would I? This face isn't something makeup can fix anyway.
Yeon Du-na tilted her head at my answer and went back to kitchen work. I tried to push the horrifying Yu-ra stats out of my mind and started checking the cooking tools.
Clatter, clatter.
Ugh, just seeing the stat window is this scary—what must Pomi be going through alone with Yu-ra right now? Should I whisper to check?
"I'm here, Auntie, Du-na unnie."
"Yeah, Na-young's here?"
"Hi."
"...Um, excuse me."
Clatter, clatter.
No. That girl needs a little scolding. This time, she should properly learn cleaning from Yu-ra too...
"Excuse me!"
"Huh? Oh? Me?"
I turned around at the voice from behind. Joo Na-young was looking at me from the hallway.
"I said I'm here."
"Oh? Ah, Na-young's here. You're coming in early these days?"
"What... Don't complain later that you didn't hear my greeting because you were spacing out again."
"Heh heh."
"But did you put something on your face?"
"I didn't."
"Are you mad at me right now? Just say yes or no—why get upset?"
"Huh? N-No, I'm not mad. Yeon Du said the same thing earlier..."
"Whatever. Let's work."
She spun around with a whoosh and headed to the dining area.
What's with those two today? All I put on this morning was lotion... Oh, right! [Charm] and [Plastic Surgery] skills!
I'd been so shocked by that traumatic stat window that I'd forgotten about learning appearance-related skills.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ [Charm (R, Passive)] Increases charm, influencing the target's affection. Lv.0: You somehow look more handsome. Affected by base appearance.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡ [Plastic Surgery (R, Active)] Alters appearance. Gains additional slots per level-up. Lv.0: Provides very basic customization.
[Plastic Surgery] is an active skill I hadn't used yet, so Yeon Du-na and Na-young talking about my face must be due to [Charm]. No doubt about it.
After meeting Pomi, I'd learned various skills and even had sex with women, but my ugly face remained my biggest complex.
I'd been too busy with other skills, and Pomi's shocking words at our first contract—"Your face? Just get plastic surgery"—had put me off learning it. But now with spare points, I went for it.
As the description said, it's only "very basic" customization, so I won't turn into a celebrity lookalike. Still, escaping the "instant dislike" zone would be nice.
Shall I give it a try?
'Plastic Surgery!'
[Change appearance?] [Yes] [No] I focused on [Yes], and with a notification sound, colorful lights began emanating from my entire body.
Startled, I glanced around, but Myeong-sook Auntie and Yeon Du-na seemed fine—must be visible only to me.
The lights kept pouring out, gradually forming a shape... and soon I realized it was my appearance. Like a hologram from a movie.
For a test, I imagined raising my nose bridge, and felt a slight tug. The hologram showed my nose slightly higher.
'Not enough! More, more, more!'
[Cannot deviate further from original at current level.] I tried for a sharp Gangnam-style nose but failed.
But this is kinda fun? Character creation in games is always the most exciting part. Work time now, though. I'll explore more after closing.
'End!'
[1 empty slot available. Save current appearance?] [Yes] [No] 'No!'
[Customization ended.] With the system sound, the holographic lights faded away. I'll do the rest at home with Yu-ra and Pomi! They'll love it.
—Pomi. I learned Plastic Surgery skill!
—Hic, heh, hehic.
I shared the good news with Pomi, but only got heavy breathing in response.
—Why are you panting like that?
—Cle, cleaning's, haaard. So tiring I lay down, and Yu-ra smacked my ass! Scold Yu-ra!
—Should I? Scold her with my dick?
—Yu-ra would love that!
—Hey, I'm scared of her—how am I supposed to scold her? You do it.
—Hnggu. Too much. Hanging up.
—Click.
That bitch?
I couldn't say a word about the skill in the end.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ After work, I stopped by So-jin's convenience store. I'd explained point farming to Yu-ra, but it'd be awkward to bring it up at home.
I used Invisibility like before and slipped in behind another customer. The moment they left, I quietly called out.
"So-jin."
"Eek! Haah... O-Oppa? No, Uncle? Geez, where do you even come from? You scared me."
"Your scared voice is so deep, it scared me more."
"Ugh, seriously!"
Even as So-jin jumped in fright and got annoyed at my teasing, her eyes stayed shut.
"Heh heh, now you close them without me telling you. Good girl."
"...But Uncle, I wanna see your face. Can't I open my eyes? Are you worried I'll report you? You don't trust me? I swear I won't!"
No way. Revealing myself to Yu-ra was hard enough. And if you saw me on the street, you'd probably act like you know me.
"What do you look like, Uncle? Are you really ugly?"
"Yeah. Better not see."
"I'm great at keeping a straight face. Even if you're ugly, I won't show it. Come on, I'm cuuurious. Uncleee."
So-jin whined and tugged my shoulder.
"Where's this aegyo coming from? Better things when you can't see—like the face of a woman walking ahead, or the girl next to you on the subway."
"Pervert! You only look at women's faces!"
"Who's calling who a pervert?"
"Not fair. You look at my face."
"Your face is pretty. Just the face? Nipples are pretty, pussy's pretty too."
"Pervert..."
Her voice got smaller, embarrassed.
"But you ignored me when I said not to post on Jilssanet?"
"Oh yeah, did you see the pics? Now you're gonna scold me hard? Hee hee."
"Getting cheeky again."
"Why didn't you come yesterday? I thought you got scared after doing that to me. But isn't it too early today? Still peak customer hours..."
She doesn't even think about limits and is already dripping?
"Not today."
"Huh? Why?"
"Wife found out."
"...!"
To be precise, I gained a wife-like figure overnight. So-jin froze at my words, then fidgeted anxiously.
"Wh-What now? Did she find out about me too? What if she comes to my school, grabs me by the hair, and yells, 'You're that bitch?'"
Her imagination's wild! More importantly, you two go to the same school.
"She just knows I met another woman—nothing about you."
"Are you getting divorced now, Uncle? Got alimony money? If you get fired, wanna live together in my studio?"
What is she saying?
"My wife's a bit obsessive. Unless she kills me and herself, no divorce."
"Whoa... Your wife's super weird. I'd have broken up already... Ahem."
"You're plenty weird too. And can you break up with this dick? Heh heh. Once you get more taste of Uncle, you'll be bawling and clinging to my pants if I say split."
"No I'm not! ...So why'd you come today?"
"To make sure you wouldn't keep waiting. Give me your number. I'll call when I can meet."
I wasn't worried about her reporting me anymore. She followed at first because of her weakness, but after posting her own deflowering review on Jilssanet, no need to doubt.
Most reliable is the status info, though.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ [Target] 👤 Name: An So-jin (Human Female, Lv. 20, 21yo) 📏 Body: 160cm, 47kg, B83(W59)H87 📍 Location: Home Convenience Store *Map 📊 Difficulty: Easy Non-Virgin (Partners: 1) Pregnancy Risk: Safe Day ❤️ Stamina: 22/26 🔥 Arousal: 30/100 Affection (Bomi Oppa) Favor: +2 (Acquaintance) Submission: +5 (Positive) Lewdness: -20 (Conservative) Affection (My Uncle) Favor: +50 (Like) Submission: +90 (Obedient) Lewdness: +70 (Horny) [Sexual Preferences] Amaurophilia (Blindfold Fetish, Weak) NEW [Sexual Fantasy] Getting utterly wrecked by Uncle during sex So-jin's status showed separate affections for different "targets." One for "Bomi Oppa," the convenience store customer. The other for "Uncle," who took her virginity.
Before Yu-ra figured out my identity, her status was split between "Next-door Oppa" and "Demon," too. Same thing.
Anyway, [Submission] to "Uncle" at +90 means no worries about reports.
And [Lewdness] is negative for "Bomi Oppa" but high for "Uncle"—total Uncle-exclusive bitch in heat.
After checking So-jin's affection stats, I tested Lv.1 Status Reveal's new "location info."
Focusing on "Map" brought up the store's exact address and a portal-site map view.
Even if So-jin runs again, no problem. With tracking and lockpicker Pomi, home invasion's a breeze!
But why's her arousal up?
