Chapter Title: Constellation Contracts Require Caution (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When I first turned into a full-blown otaku pig, I couldn't help but curse up a storm, but thanks to the unexpected 'Reversal Argument' skill, things wrapped up surprisingly easily. An ability like 'Playboy' that gets stronger the more sex you have? Total cheat, right? Thanks to that, I got to sleep with Lin-chan, Hina-chan, the Saintess, and even the Goddess.
Did I just snag another cheat-level skill? Checking it out, it's an active skill that also auto-activates passively in crises—should come in handy down the line.
Put bluntly, it's like pretending to have a 'disease where you die if you don't have sex.'
A situation where you really don't want to, but have no choice but to do it? That setup was seriously hot. If another chance comes, I gotta make it happen more often—like having the heroine take the lead, just like this time.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
(No achievements or points awarded due to special task nature.)
But... this is kinda disappointing.
No points earned, no achievements unlocked, no clear rewards. Even for a special task, they could've tossed in a skill or something. Does that mean the third limit-break condition is that tough?
I took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and waited for the 'Heroine NTR' notification.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
The hint for the third Favorability Limit-Break condition has been revealed. Hint: After achieving the second limit-break condition, receive a positive response from the heroine.
...What the hell does that mean?
The second limit-break is confessing to the heroine that I'm from another world. And then get a positive response? So basically... no matter my true identity, if the heroine loves me to the end, the third condition is met?
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
Intelligence increased by 1.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Honestly, I'm floored.
Splitting this into two stages? Feels like 'Heroine NTR' totally played me.
Would I confess to a heroine not ready for my secrets that I'm from another world? No way. I'd only tell one I know will believe me no matter what—like Cecilia.
But pulling wordplay like this to split stages? Major letdown.
Should've rejected the special task.
"Haa..."
Of course, it's not like I didn't enjoy it, but still, this is too much. The hype made the disappointment hit harder, so a sigh slipped out. I thought it'd be some insanely tough condition. But they hyped a basic one as 'special'?
'Heroine NTR', you little... sneakier than you look.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
※ Bonus Chance! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity ※ If successful, receive one 'Forced Return Ticket' to the world of heroine 'Wi Ji-hye' as a gift. Dare to challenge?
...And what's this? Giving with one hand, taking with the other?
Did it get offended by me calling it sneaky, or feel guilty? Outta nowhere, 'Heroine NTR' offers a 'Bonus Chance'.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
Bonus Chance: 'Heroine NTR' costs 0 for this instance.
Costs 0? Meaning... I can pick S-tier characters or items. Plus a 500,000-point 'Forced Return Ticket' as reward? You're no sneak—you're a saint!
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
Challenge? Failure incurs 100 million point debt. (Y/N)
With infinite points, failure's impossible. No hesitation—I accepted 'Heroine NTR's apology.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
Activating 'Heroine NTR' ability. Select desired genre.
Genre, huh... Which one?
Becoming Heavenly Demon in a wuxia world sounds fun, Demon King in fantasy too. But modern fantasy pulls me too. After hesitating, I picked 'Modern Fantasy' and checked details.
[Entertainment, Professional, Apocalypse, Chaebol...]
Oh, academy? Looks fun.
I've only heard of academies IRL—fresh to experience via 'Heroine NTR'. Probably different from real ones, but similar enough. Already excited.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
Select desired character.
Now characters... Obviously S-tier. Grinning slyly, I tapped the top S-tier section.
[Creation God: 300M points (Discount: 0)]
[Demon God: 300M points (Discount: 0)]
[SSS Hero: 50M points (Discount: 0)]
[......]
Hmm, but scanning the list... nothing jumps out.
Creation God? Omnipotent—kidnap heroine, NTR instantly. Fun short-term, but boring long. Too bland.
Demon God? Same deal. SSS Hero too. Overpowered picks make NTR too easy—no thrill. Cheats kill fun, y'know.
This is exactly that.
Better as academy extra, secretly cucking the protagonist? Right difficulty makes it fun...
[......]
[High Constellation: 100M points (Discount: 0)]
Oh, constellations too? Changes everything.
Can't intervene freely, but watches protagonist and heroine, aids or hinders as needed. Closest to corrupting heroine.
Constellation could make OP fun.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
Select items for this session.
Items left... Inventory-like permanents vanish post-bonus, right? No high hopes—grab fun ones now.
Won't die, but 'Death Return' for safety. 'Time Stop Device' for chaos. 'Heroine Manual' for easy攻略? Grab it.
Cheats can be fun too... Add 'Choices' for bad spots.
Self-justifying, I bought constellation coins wholesale, rare items, finished selections.
'Bonus Chance'—'You suffered, so enjoy freely'? Gotta obey. Anticipating constellation life, I launched 'Heroine NTR'.

"Okay, quiet down! Be silent, everyone. The constellations will appear soon—stay quiet! Guys... are you listening? Calm down and be silent!"
-Murmurs
The homeroom teacher yelled at freshmen, but excited newbies ignored her. Lifelong dream of constellation communion—impossible to calm.
Boys shouting they'd contract 7 Greats, girls praying famous ones; auditorium buzzed with whispers.
"S-Sujin-ah, what do I do... I'm shaking. Can I contract a 7 Great? Ugh..."
"You can do it. This is 'Yeonhwa', one of world's top 3 academies. Tons of constellations watching!"
"Hey, Park Jin-woo. Not nervous? Our lives on the line!"
"Constellations are just help. Talent and effort matter. Fix posture instead of freaking—shaking scares 'em off."
"Your voice is shaking too!"
Amid chaos, calm freshmen: noble heirs, top guild heirs, world hero rank top-5, and two special admits handpicked by 'Yeonhwa's chairman.
"That's her? Ha, ridiculous. Same freshman class?"
"Grandpa picked her—says it all."
"Hmph! Commoner acting bold—shameless!"
"Miss. Not acting—she is bold. On par with Britain's 'Young Noble'."
"Not her! That commoner beside—nobody!"
"No, she has hidden talents. Don't underestimate."
"Hmph! Commoner trash!"
And standout among them: black-haired beauty, Cynthia.
'Noisy... Teacher said quiet—deaf?'
Pale white skin, short black bob, cool sharp eyes, faint pink lips sans smile. Looks alone drew eyes, but genius swordswoman talent shone brighter.
Elites wary from start. Feeling stares, boy Park Siwoo cautiously addressed Cynthia, worried.
"Um, Sia... sheath the sword? Not fighting constellations. No need show off—they said so. Looks better sheathed."
"...Got it."
-Shing
-Clack
Surprisingly compliant, Cynthia sheathed. Time arrived; suddenly pulled to solo space, familiar constellation messages appeared before her.
[Blade Tearful Nameless Sword] If your sword hungers, choose me.
[Lord of Domination] Contract with me, rule all with one sword.
[Guardian of Crescent Moon] Desire oneness with sword? I know the way.
[......]
Dozens, not one or two.
From famed 7 Great 'Lord of Domination', swordmaster 'Guardian of Crescent Moon', to all notables—messages flooded her. But captivating her: unknown sender.
[Nameless Avenger] Want the organization that kidnapped your lost sibling, experimented, discarded? Investigate Han-gwang Group's youngest son. Want to tell more, but restricted.
