‘Personally, I’d love to pick another Additional Job Slot...’
Just in case, I tapped the ‘Additional Job Slot’ option one more time. But as expected.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [This reward cannot be selected multiple times.] The option was already grayed out and disabled. It meant I couldn’t select it anymore.
“Tch. Knew it.”
If duplicates had been allowed, my job slots would’ve jumped to four in an instant. That would mean holding three more jobs on top of Sex Emperor. Just thinking about it was thrilling, but the Tower system wasn’t that generous.
‘Too bad, but can’t be helped. So, what’s left is...’
The remaining choices were a Job Enhancement Ticket and three Skill Enhancement Tickets.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [You have selected the special reward ‘Job Enhancement Ticket.’] [You have selected the special reward ‘Skill Enhancement Ticket x3.’] [All rewards have been received.] ⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Returning to your original location in 30 seconds.] [29... 28... 27...] The Job Enhancement Ticket was useless on Sex Emperor right now since it was already at max rank, 10 stars. But once I got a new job from the additional slot, its value would be beyond imagination.
‘Best to use it on a 9-star job, but if I can’t wait, selling it for top dollar is an option too.’
The Skill Enhancement Tickets were the same. The randomness was a drawback, but since they were freebies, I could use them without worry or just sell or trade them off.
Once I claimed all the rewards, the reward window faded away smoothly. Time to head back to where I was.
‘The other summoners... look like they’ve already gone back.’
The quest had ended, so they must’ve auto-returned to their positions.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [15... 14... 13...] I was just staring at the countdown ticking away second by second when...
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [12... 12... 12...] The decreasing numbers froze in place.
‘What the hell? System glitch?’
My question was answered right away.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Tower 1st Floor Administrator, Demon Pellios, is delaying your return by 30 minutes.] [Tower 1st Floor Administrator, Demon Pellios, requests a one-on-one meeting with Summoner Kim Joo-hyuk.] “Pellios?”
The culprit behind this raid—the bitch I’d sworn to fuck someday.
‘What the hell does this slut want to see me for?’
Obvious. She must’ve caught on that I’d made some deal with the Tower system and wasn’t happy about it.
Or maybe she’d been watching the whole mess and wanted to sneak in for a piece of the action.
Either way, it didn’t matter. I’d amassed over ten million points in wealth, and my power had skyrocketed beyond compare.
‘Fine. Let’s hear what she has to say.’
The moment I accepted the meeting, the air around me shifted subtly. A sweet, intoxicating scent began to waft from somewhere.
At the same time, the sky above twisted into a dark crimson hue. Space tore open, revealing a figure.
The 1st Floor Administrator, Demon Pellios.
She wore the same barely-there outfit as before—some skimpy cloth thing that could pass for a suit if you squinted, covering just her vital bits.
But this time, it was even more outrageous and blatant.
With a single flap of her red wings, the gust alone made her already dizzying clothes cling to her curves, exposing her voluptuous body without filter.
Her massive tits, bigger than her head, jiggled wildly as if ready to burst free from her top. The swollen mounds showed faint veins, proving they were all natural.
‘That blue skin... why does it make her even hotter?’
As I stared dumbly at her figure, Pellios flapped her dark red wings and descended gracefully to the ground, landing perfectly.
“Summoner Kim Joo-hyuk. Thanks for accepting my meeting request. I’ve got a ton of things I want to talk about with just the two of us~”
Her wasp-thin waist flowed into peach-like, plump, springy hips that swayed left and right with each step.
‘Goddamn, her body’s always been insanely fuckable.’
Under her dangerously short skirt, red garters hugged her thighs openly, paired with legs that stretched on forever, stealing my gaze.
The arrow-tip tail swaying from her lower back like a serpent amplified her sensuality even more.
“Oh my, staring like that makes me shy.”
Pellios stopped in front of me with a seductive smile. Her pumpkin-orange eyes raked me from head to toe with blatant appraisal.
I didn’t dodge her provocative stare—instead, I upped the ante by openly ogling her huge tits and sneered.
“Long time no see, Pellios. How’ve you been? I had a blast thanks to that shitty party you threw.”
“Whoa, whoa—calm down, Kim Joo-hyuk. I’ve got no intention of fighting you.”
Pellios slowly raised both hands above her head like she was surrendering.
Her armpits were smooth, like she’d shaved or waxed, and the unnatural pose made her massive tits stand out even more.
That arrogant yet elegant gesture screamed, ‘I’m unarmed, so relax.’ But I wasn’t naive enough to fall for a demon’s sweet talk.
“Why should I believe that?”
“If you don’t, nothing I can do~ But remember this: if I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t bother showing up in person like this.”
She had a point. As the 1st Floor Tower Administrator, she could off me a thousand ways without the Tower system noticing.
‘And her own power’s no joke either.’
Pellios, who could squash a 1st-floor scrub like me repeatedly if she wanted, wouldn’t pull this theater without reason.
“Fine. Let’s hear your bullshit.”
“Hehe, not even a hint of tension with me right here. You’re no ordinary guy. Alright, I’ll admit it straight up. I lost this round.”
“So?”
“What you pulled off was honestly... beyond imagination! Where the hell did that grenade airburst idea come from? Oh man, it was so cool!”
Pellios gushed genuine admiration my way.
“?”
I was briefly stunned. Not at all what I’d expected.
“I didn’t think you’d survive that mess at all. But you didn’t just survive—you dominated the battlefield! Ahh—! You’re hands-down one of the best summoners I’ve ever seen!”
Her torrent of praise drew a hollow laugh from me.
“Guess I am pretty great.”
Pellios nodded in satisfaction.
“Yeah. I, Pellios, acknowledge it. You’re amazing. More than any summoner I’ve seen so far. You’re bold, unpredictable... and that makes you... even more alluring.”
She lingered on the last word, her eyes slyly drifting to my crotch. At her blatant seduction, I smirked and shot back.
“So, what’s the real deal? You’re not here to confess your crush, are you?”
“Oh? Busted?”
Pellios teased as she stepped even closer.
“Yeah, you got me. I’m smitten. With you... and your infinite potential.”
*
“You know, Kim Joo-hyuk?”
Pellios whispered right in my ear, her breath tickling.
“Every summoner who strutted like you in front of me... none of them met a good end.”
Her voice carried a sudden chill warning. Her soft fingers brushing my hair and nape felt like a dagger’s edge.
My 【Threat Detection】 went haywire at her subtle killing intent, screaming danger.
Pellios might just kill me here.
The old me might’ve panicked and bolted. But not anymore.
I met her eyes without flinching and smirked.
“Don’t lump me in with those other summoners.”
“Oh?”
“I’m not some dumbass charging on brute strength. I’m more than that. I’m the ruler who keeps those idiots under my heel.”
At my bold claim, Pellios’s eyes widened, then she burst into genuine laughter—kyahaha!
Moments later, a deeper, more bewitching smile spread across her lips.
“Yes, that’s it. That confidence. You’re fundamentally different from them. Almost...”
She paused, scanning me head to toe with adoring eyes.
“Like a demon.”
