Chapter Title: Additional Traits
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Awakener: Every 10 levels, you can acquire an additional trait.
Traits can be obtained by purchasing from the shop or with a low drop chance from mutant zombies.
What's this now?
Hmm. So, this means there are traits beyond the ones you get upon awakening as an Awakener. You can use ones from the shop that opens on Saturdays or drops from mutant zombies, right?
And every time you level up to a multiple of 10, you can add another trait.
This is huge information. The fact that you can add traits has never come up before, so no one could have known.
This means raising your level as high as possible is key. Strength will vary greatly based on levels.
Especially the gap between someone at level 9 and level 10 will be massive.
Of course, that's assuming you slot a new trait right into the additional slot and it's a good one.
Still, having one more trait or not is a massive deal, no question.
They only tell you this at level 10?
Which means... right now, in this world, I'm probably the only one who knows this.
I'm confident no one has killed more zombies than me. Someone with fewer kills couldn't possibly be higher level. That'd be cheating.
Unless they got a trait drop from a mutant zombie...
Hold on. Even mutant zombies have a low chance to drop traits?
I've killed so many Lacer mutant zombies, and nothing dropped.
Damn it, does that even make sense? At least one should have dropped, right?
Could my Luck stat be affecting drop rates?
Just to check, I looked at the stat explanations again. The Luck description had some new text added since yesterday.
🍀 Luck: A value representing the Awakener's fortune. Higher values increase the probability of obtaining coins or items from zombies.
Damn, this game is so well-made. New systems get added, and the text updates automatically?
Not messing around or anything.
My Luck being 1 feels so unfair. Isn't there a way to raise it?
The system specifically said "items" instead of traits, so dropped traits probably come as physical objects with a form. You check them to see what trait it is. There might even be separate equippable items like in games.
This means skills could drop from mutant zombies too. I need to kill every mutant zombie I see. Or, like with the Chilsung Faction trash, turn them into mutants first then kill them.
Anyway, I've wrapped up everything with the Chilsung Faction. Time to rest. Dealing with that Lacer pack wore me out a bit.
I'll head home, sleep some, and hit the Haedong Faction tomorrow.
Oh right, those women in the basement. I told them to stay quiet and almost forgot to check.
I went down and opened the basement door. The women were huddled together, trembling with hands over their mouths. Probably spooked by the screams from upstairs.
"All clear here. I wiped out the entire Chilsung Faction, so relax. I'll come pick you up tomorrow morning, so sleep. Can't have zombies getting in while I'm gone, so I'm locking the door again~"
"Y-Yes? W-Wait a second!!"
One of them jumped up like she had something to say, but I ignored her and headed upstairs. Probably wants to confirm if the Chilsung guys are really gone or who I am.
That can wait until tomorrow. Besides, no intention of telling her who I am.
Alright, time to head home?
I leaped between buildings and made it back in about five minutes.
"Mm... Oppa, you're back?"
"Huh? You still up?"
I walked in to find Yejin dozing against the wall on the floor. She woke at the sound of me entering and greeted me.
"You said you'd be late today. But you're still not sleeping? It's already 3 a.m."
I got so caught up cleaning out the Chilsung Faction that time flew by.
"But... you were out working hard, and I felt bad sleeping comfortably alone. I thought I'd wait for you, but I dozed off a bit. Yawwwn!"
Seeing her yawn with her mouth wide open, proof she'd been up, made me pat her head affectionately.
"Ack! What the heck, suddenly. No, there's something on your hair..."
"Yeah? Then let's shower together."
"Ugh, seriously... Fine."
Yejin puffed her cheeks in protest but stripped off her clothes as I said.
I admired the sight while stripping off my own dirty clothes.
In the shower, Yejin and I turned on the water and rinsed off the grime from our hair and bodies.
"Phew, feels alive again. Haven't worked this hard in a while."
"If you're calling it hard, it must've been something huge."
"Yeah, I raided a spot crawling with gang thugs. Made a ton of coins off it."
Watching Yejin listen with rapt interest, my dick started hardening. Can't blame it—her naked body, wet hair plastered to her skin, was pure sex appeal. Water droplets trailed from her hair, down her neck, pooling at her cleavage before dripping off.
If her tits were smaller, those drops might've slid past to her hips and between her thighs, but her huge breasts caught most of them right there.
I couldn't help it—my hand went straight to her chest.
"Even now, you grope my tits? You really love them, huh."
"If a guy says he hates tits, suspect he's gay. And if he prefers small ones over big, he's got some creepy fetish. Normal guys love big tits."
I fondled them while teasing her nipples with my fingers. They perked up slowly.
"Quick reaction today, huh?"
This wasn't the first time I'd played with her tits and nipples like this. She didn't react so fast before.
"Ugh, it's because you... told me to yesterday..."
"Told you to what...? Oh, the quest I gave you?"
She blushed and avoided my eyes. Now I remembered. Yesterday, when I brought the sex toys, I'd given her a quest: Train her body to cum from nipple play.
"Since you told me to... I tried, but I can't yet. They're just a bit more sensitive now..."
Imagining her touching her own nipples while I was gone, masturbating, got me rock hard.
"Fuck, was gonna sleep, but no way now. Turn around."
"O-Okay. Like this?"
Yejin faced the wall as ordered, bent forward, stuck out her ass, and spread her cheeks with her hands to expose her pussy and asshole perfectly.
She follows orders so well—it's too convenient. Makes me glad I brought her along every time.
Her pussy was soaked—excitement or shower water, who cares? I slammed my dick inside.
"Ngh!"
A lewd moan escaped her lips, and that was my cue to thrust hard and fast.
"O-Oppa! Ahh! T-Too fast!"
"It's late. Gotta finish quick and sleep, so full throttle."
I pounded away, eager to cum. Flesh slapped flesh, mixed with wet squelches from her pussy. Her swinging tits drew my hands like magnets.
The heavy weight in my palms was impressive—how does she carry these around? Big tits probably hurt the back, and hers must too.
Bracing against the wall, her body sagged lower until she was on all fours. With her ass up higher, her pussy felt even tighter, different angle. Way better than last time.
As I neared climax, her pussy clenched in rhythm, milking me.
"Aahn! Ahng!"
Her moans echoed shamelessly as I unloaded everything inside.
"Phew, fucking amazing."
Exhausted from today, but this capped it off perfectly.
Wait, what? Still buried deep, basking in the afterglow, Yejin's body suddenly wobbled on all fours. Her limbs went limp like she might collapse. I grabbed her waist quick to steady her, but my dick slipped out.
"Hah..."
She moaned as my cum leaked from her pussy, dripping to the floor.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Hee... hee... Yeah... fine..."
Her voice said otherwise. I held her until she could stand, then we finished washing and crashed into bed, out like lights.
