"Check the box first."
Minguk said to Hyun-ah. It didn't quite match her habitual self-proclaimed title of "Cheonho-dong Super Lucky Girl," but among Team GGW's members, Hyun-ah was the hero who'd drawn the most rare items.
She was even the only one on the team who'd pulled two Mana Crystals.
"Alright, even just one Orange-grade crystal would be plenty, right?"
Minguk couldn't help but chuckle at Hyun-ah, who was swinging one arm around like there was already a Mana Crystal inside the box.
If it came out that easily, heroes wouldn't struggle so hard to raise their star ranks. The stated probability was 30%, but from experience, it felt way lower.
"Eeeeeek!!!"
Hyun-ah flung open the loot box and leaped into the air. Her reaction made it easy to guess what was inside. It had to be a Mana Crystal. After all, that was the best item you could get from a Grade-4 special entity.
"What...? Is she really that lucky?"
Minguk tilted his head, watching Hyun-ah bounce around behind her. Did she have some protagonist vibe going on? She always came through with a clutch play at key moments. Or maybe she really was a lucky girl.
"Wh-what? We got it? We got it?!"
"For real? Whoa?! 3%? Woooaahhh!!!"
A massive cheer erupted from the Rose Shield clan's gathering spot as the Ice Drake fell to their assault. In stark contrast, the Memoria clan's atmosphere was icy cold, like a brutal blizzard had swept through.
Korea's top damage dealer squad had been outplayed in raw skill by rookies whose raid certifications were still fresh ink. It was an impossible outcome. This level of underdog victory would spark cries of rigging.
"Our clan lost, huh?"
Taeyeon bit her lip, spitting out the words one by one. It wasn't Memoria that lost to Rose Group—it was Raon. And in a bet they should've won handily, no less.
"I'll take responsibility for this mess. I'm sorry, Owner."
"Yeah... that's a given."
Taeyeon, her face rigid, turned to the clan staff around her and spoke. Each word dripped with thick fury.
"Everyone here—pack your bags the second you get back to the clan house. And that R's dealer prospect—who was it? Send her packing."
"Understood..."
"That male healer guy, Kim Sung-cheol or whatever? Cut him loose with the penalty fee. Actually, scratch that—they caused this disaster, so we should be getting penalty fees from them."
"We'll handle that right away."
"Block any transfers to other major clans too. Make it crystal clear: if they take Kim Sung-cheol, they'll sour relations with Memoria and the entire Raon Group."
The clan leader bowed his head, unable to meet Taeyeon's gaze amid her voice, cold enough to freeze solid. There was nothing to say. They'd thrown in 5- and 6-star heroes, Korea's No. 1 ranked dealer, and still fumbled the raid worse than a squad of newbies. Talk about humiliation.
"Han Minguk! Han Minguk!!!"
"Woooahhh...!"
Unlike the funeral atmosphere at Memoria, Rose Shield—which had pulled off the giant-killing win—was in full party mode. Clan staff rushed toward Team GGW as they trickled out of the dungeon one by one.
"You guys were the best! The absolute best!!!"
"Raid Leader! I've got tons of time tonight!"
The team—minus Minguk—stared in bewilderment at the staff greeting them with over-the-top enthusiasm. But then they noticed no sign of Kang Chae-young or the other Memoria heroes, and shock spread across their faces.
"D-did we win?!"
"F-for real?! We—we cleared the dungeon faster than Memoria?!"
Hyun-ah's eyes went wide as she stammered, looking to her sister. Hyun-jung nodded proudly, watching her little sis.
A raid team of first-year rookies had conquered a 【B-5】 dungeon. And the tank was her own sister. Pride swelled inevitably. As things calmed a bit, Rose Shield's owner, Jo Suyeong, approached Minguk.
"That was an incredible raid. Now I get why Oh Hyun-jung and the media hype you up so much."
"Eh, it wasn't a tough one. Not what we wanted, though."
"Hohoho. Right. Not a tough raid at all."
Suyeong burst out laughing at Minguk's words and glanced at Taeyeon. Raon Group's third-gen heiress—arguably Korea's highest-status woman—looked demonic, her face twisted in rage.
- Heal! Heal!
- Brutal blizzard incoming! Cut recovery spells to the dealers!
The new recruits who'd just joined this year were already out, basking in celebrations, while Memoria's ace players still struggled against the Ice Drake.
When their tank screamed and dropped to the drake's attack, Taeyeon grabbed her high heel and smashed her display screen. For Raon's "cool-headed princess," it was wildly aggressive.
"She's pissed for real? Sigh. This is why you don't poke a gold miss's temper."
"...Gold miss?"
Minguk tilted his head at Suyeong's words. The woman who'd just trashed what looked like an expensive display didn't seem old enough for that label.
"You know? Women over twenty-three are gold misses, right? Did I get that wrong?"
"Ah, uh... yeah, sure."
With the gender ratio so skewed, maybe marriage rates tanked? It was a decade off from Minguk's old world.
"Anyway, putting that aside. No plans tonight, right? I've booked dinner at a hotel. Everyone here's coming—Raid Leader Han Minguk included, of course?"
"Naturally."
Suyeong shot Minguk a sly look as he nodded. He caught it instantly. Looked like tonight meant a fancy meal and spending the night with a chaebol heiress.
The 【B-5】 dungeon "Ice Canyon" had been fun to clear. Solid reward for a satisfying run. He was in the mood to hold someone tonight anyway. And Suyeong, beyond gold spoon into diamond-spoon territory, was quite the tasty prospect.
"Alright then, we'll head out first."
Suyeong raised her hand high for all to see and clapped loudly. Naturally, Memoria caught it too. And just as naturally, Kim Taeyeon ground her teeth at Jo Suyeong's display. Humiliation didn't get more blatant.
"Hngh!"
Suyeong threw her head back as the man's massive cock plunged straight to her depths. His rock-hard body and shaft—unrivaled by any other man—pierced her completely.
'Th-this feels so good!'
She'd bedded plenty of average guys, but Han Minguk staring down at her blew them all away. No, she didn't need other men anymore. This one satisfied her lust all by himself.
"Mm."
Minguk let out a low groan as Suyeong's body clamped down tight. She sure knew her way around a man. Her hips moved instinctively to heighten his pleasure.
'Come to think of it...'
Since crossing to this world, he hadn't met a single virgin—not even Oh Hyun-ah, his first. Yuna, Lin Sha, same story. Kim So-jung was divorced, and Jeong Ye-rin had been with her boyfriend.
With the gender imbalance, there had to be some inexperienced women... It felt oddly mysterious.
"H-haa... honey, faster."
Whatever—ponder later. For now, it was time to converse with Suyeong's body as she moaned lustily for him.
"Aaahngh!"
In a face-to-face lover's position, Suyeong clung to Minguk as her body shuddered wildly. He gripped her ass, pounding her sensitive depths relentlessly—no holding back.
"How's it feel? Good?"
"Y-yeah! So good! Ahhhn! Amazing!! Th-there! Harder! Aaaah!"
Each thrust made Suyeong's face melt in ecstasy. She hugged his broad shoulders tight, burying her face in his neck, drool trickling from her lips as pleasure overrode her reason.
"In-incredible! You're the best!"
His huge cock kept ravaging her insides, electric bliss shooting up her spine to fry her brain. Once she knew this, she'd never escape him.
"M-more! I'm—I'm cumming! Cumming, aaah...! Aaahnngh!!! "
Suyeong's body began to spasm. She wailed and screamed until, with a sudden shriek, she dug her nails into Minguk's back. He slammed deep, unleashing inside her.
"Eeeek!!!"
Hot cum flooded her depths. Even then, Suyeong bucked her hips to take every drop.
"Kiss me... kiss me."
Minguk obliged her plea for affection beyond sex with a deep kiss, swapping saliva. Suyeong slid down his body and took his still-raging cock—hard as ever despite cumming once—into her mouth.
"You're incredible as both a hero and a lover who satisfies women."
"Nah, not hard at all."
"Please."
Suyeong chuckled at his reply. If it were that easy, humanity wouldn't have warred against darkness monsters for decades, nor would so many women be alone with their toys right now.
But Minguk had raid experience honed in VR mobile games and the robust libido of a normal guy from a balanced world—not reversed genders.
Truly easy. Games and sex. Nail those, and nothing else mattered. He was enjoying her mouth, ready to pour rising lust back into her body.
Vrrrrm.
Minguk's Hero Pad buzzed loudly on the table. Incoming message.
"Check it?"
"Yeah, one sec. Huh?"
He pecked Suyeong's forehead, grabbed the pad, and frowned curiously at the sender. She propped up on the bed.
"What? Trouble?"
"Nah, just an unexpected contact."
"Unexpected?"
Minguk nodded. Not cartel girls like Hyun-ah or So-jung, nor clan business. The sender was a woman whose face he'd glimpsed in Ice Canyon today but never spoken to: Raon Group's third-gen, Jo Suyeong's friend—Kim Taeyeon.
