Chapter Title: Rival?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The clan office was in utter chaos from the broadcast's aftermath, but the meeting room for the four rookie teams on a different floor was the picture of calm.
"Places are going nuts everywhere, but you're okay?"
Hyun-ah lifted her head slightly as she asked Han Minguk, who was sitting in a chair reviewing dungeon records. Her pink lips glistened as they caught his eye.
The boss had a female secretary for this exact reason?!
Those were the lips that had just been caressing his manhood moments ago. Was it because they were in the meeting room instead of home? Or maybe the thrill of skinship during this not-quite-work moment? It felt even more arousing than the caresses he got at home.
Especially when the sharp click of high heels echoed from outside, he'd instinctively thrust deeper into Hyun-ah's mouth as she knelt before him, fearing discovery. Sure, no one but team members would come in anyway...
"Mm. They're not people I care about anyway, so why bother?"
"Still..."
Minguk said he was fine, but Hyun-ah worried the media attention might shake him. Especially since inquiries from other clans had skyrocketed.
Hyun-ah asked casually.
"You might run into them, right? My sister says companies wanting to advertise keep calling too... Clans are showing massive interest."
"Not my thing."
Minguk replied.
Truth be told, he wasn't entirely uninterested. Ad offers that only top stars got were coming his way. But curiosity about how shoots worked was all it sparked—no intention of actually doing one.
Quests barely leave time as is—when would I fuss with that?
Clear a 【B – 8】 difficulty dungeon!
Two gold ticket quests due in 25 days. No room for distractions. He needed to head to the Illusion Dungeon right now for mana crystals.
And he was just a rookie hero who'd barely earned raid certification. Sure, his insides were pure firepower, but to others, he was one of countless male heroes. Plus, raid leader potential was budding?
This attention's just hype. To get real hero treatment, I need achievements everyone acknowledges.
Then ads would fetch top dollar amid genuine frenzy. His legal harem cartel could attract even hotter women too.
Feeling Hyun-ah's hot tongue glide up his shaft, Minguk asked,
"Oh, did you make it?"
"GGW's diary?"
Minguk nodded at Hyun-ah's response.
Exposed to the media anyway, and confident Minguk wouldn't waver, Hyun-jung shifted gears to manage his image properly.
Not through press or broadcasts. Just minimal info to satisfy fans craving his exploits. Easiest via SNS.
Naturally, Hyun-ah handled it—she'd always been into that stuff.
"Of course I whipped it up right away."
With her answer, Hyun-ah suddenly engulfed his manhood whole. Teasing the rigid shaft with just saliva had been torture. Knowing from past sessions he loved it, she went all in without hesitation.
"Kuuh...!"
Her intense caress stimulating every nerve, Minguk grabbed her head, shoving to the hilt, then bucked his hips. Lewd squelching filled the room.
"...?!"
A click, and the door swung open. A silver-haired woman entered: Kim Sojeong. Spotting Hyun-ah servicing Minguk's manhood—and him enjoying it—she pulled a notepad from her pocket.
"Have you done the act?"
"N-no."
Kim Sojeong's inexplicable aura made honorifics slip from Minguk's mouth. Felt guilty despite innocence.
"Have you ejaculated?"
"...No."
"It's Yuna's turn today... If you do finish, let me know. And Oh Hyun-ah, Hero?"
"...Kuup, cough. Y-yes?"
Minguk's massive manhood slipped from Hyun-ah's mouth. Sojeong's gaze lingered briefly on the steaming rod before her icy voice cut in.
"Oh Hyun-ah Hero's turn is pushed to the day after tomorrow. You know why."
"W-wait! Th-this is!"
A hiccup escaped as Hyun-ah started choking.
Is this what a sex secretary does...?
It really felt managed. Relationships with other women probably needed to be secret from Sojeong—or include her.
Either way, Hyun-ah had an edge as live-in lover. Anytime without Sojeong knowing. But that was Minguk's misconception.
"Hnggh!"
Shoving Hyun-ah aside, Sojeong swallowed his cock in one go. Relentless tongue work and warm mouth drove him to climax instantly.
"Kruuuh...!"
Married woman's prowess? Less than two minutes in, Minguk erupted into her mouth. Partly thanks to Hyun-ah's buildup.
Smacking her lips as she swallowed, Sojeong said coolly,
"Much less than usual. Oh Hyun-ah Hero's turn is five days from now."
"N-nooo... Busted."
Hyun-ah knelt in despair. Minguk couldn't defend his live-in girl—his massive shortfall in output was the crime.
"Today's target is the Illusion Dungeon, as you all know. Planning at least three runs."
"How about looping till mana crystals drop? Raid Leader?"
Yuna shot her hand up. Buzzing with motivation, fresh off media hype as GGW's dealer.
"Great attitude, but..."
Overdo it to six-seven loops with no drops? Morale killer.
Including snowmen clears for illusion keys: exactly three max daily for GGW now. Keys made it longer than Flame Bridge - Ifrit.
Luckily, Rose Shield's Illusion Dungeon in Seoul's Boramae Park barred media and civilians. Minguk entered smoothly.
"Ice orb! Choi Yuna!"
"Yes!"
"Freeze spears incoming! Heavy Defense!!!"
Two prior clears plus Minguk's leading made Ice Queen Anisa raid a breeze for Team GGW.
Minor slips from overconfidence in the lax pace—no raid impact. Minguk laughed them off. Too rigid, and team fatigue set in.
Day one, two, three, four. Alternating raid-rest in two-shift grind: two weeks in, all heroes hit 2-star rank.
Pre-2-star Ye-rin absorbed intellect and spirit crystals too.
"...Wow. Was this even possible?"
"Worked when we tried."
Ye-rin's awe met Yuna—last to rank up—shaking with joy.
2-star heroes, self-made sans clan aid. Unlocked 【Gear Score – 120】+ gear. Hero mana synced high-score items; junk at 1-star.
Skill/class stones capped B-grade still. No biggie—cleared 【B – 8】 fine.
Team cheered their feat; Minguk checked quest timer.
9 days left.
Decent buffer. 【B – 8】 just one extra 4-grade boss vs. 【B – 9】. Similar length—one day with tweaks.
Next move...
"Auction house."
Gear shopping. Senior heroes stocked it; rookies like them snagged good stuff cheap. 【Gear Score – 110】 at $4500? Then 10 higher...
"$20K? Seriously?"
【Gear Score – 125】 healer gear pricing irked Minguk. 15-point gap, triple cost. Hyun-ah beside him said,
"Higher dungeon drops cost insane. Gold ticket 【Gear Score – 200】 around $200K usually."
【Gear Score – 200】 topped 【B – 6】. $200K...
"300 was $1.5M, right?"
Sojeong pondered, adding,
"Th-then top raids drop what?"
"Insanely pricey. Clan first-string A-grade gear? Single pieces over $20M. Full set rivals Seoul skyscrapers."
That value justified revival stones for dungeon farms. Clans investing heavy in high-potential heroes made sense.
Had to. Gear up big, raid high, brake dangerous gates everywhere.
"I'll take this."
Auction revisit after half-month: Minguk blew contract gold on three 【Gear Score – 130】 pieces—weapon, armor, helm.
Sojeong, Ye-rin, Yuna patched one-two slots each. Clan signing bonuses left wiggle room.
And...
"This, please. And this too."
Rose Shield leader's rich sis went all-in: full set near-max 【Gear Score – 200】 for 2-stars.
That evening.
Thanks to our lovely Raid Leader Han Minguk♥'s amazing voice and feats, all GGW heroes hit 2-star!
