‘Fully assimilate into the character and clear the mission’ – 1,000,000 Points
‘Clear the mission using only one skill’ – 3,000,000 Points
It had been a long time since I’d gotten favorability rewards.
Charm, Elegance, and Charisma—all of them were perfect passive skills that evoked the heroines. The only regrettable part was Marcia’s absence... Hmm, she did have a weak presence. She was cute, but she always felt more like a bonus. Unfortunately, she hadn’t quite reached 100 favorability.
But... it was still fun.
Lucius had been surprisingly tenacious.
Thanks to him, I’d been able to enjoy myself leisurely for a few months.
The four of them blushing shyly in front of the camera. This... I’d have to keep for myself. It was too precious to show anyone else. Chloe was always adorable no matter what, Iris had exuded elegance since we first met. Serpin was secretly the cutest, and Marcia was like the all-purpose sidekick. I already missed them. I wanted to go back and see them again.
And now I had a ton of points to spend.
“Oppa? Why all of a sudden... Kyaa!”
Then I should go.
No reason to just sit around.
I bought a return ticket and spent joyful times until I was fully satisfied.
Even after spending points like that, I still had over 4 million left.
Precisely 4.65 million points.
My goal of 5 million was right in sight.
So just a bit more grinding, and I could visit Ji Hye or Sophia’s worldlines with Cecilia. Meaning the three of us could take down the Demon King or conquer the martial world... Hmm, did I say this last time? Anyway, we were truly in the home stretch now.
So I picked a relatively simple challenge.
A 500,000-point one.
It basically meant no rape, no forced restraints, nothing like that... Pfft, easy. Just gaslight her. All skills available this time. Plus, set the genre to modern... Heh, success was basically guaranteed.

After fine-tuning the settings, I closed my eyes.
I passed!!! Additional admission!!
OMG ㅠㅡㅠㅠㅡㅠㅠㅠ
I’m a college student now!
♡ ٩(´▽`)۶ ♡
Park Siwoo muttered to himself that she’d passed and let out a sigh of relief.
He didn’t know her face or her real name, but... they’d been chatting on SNS for a long time. So when he heard she was aiming for the same university, he’d genuinely hoped they’d end up classmates. He hadn’t specifically thought of ‘Jinni’ as a girl, but they shared similar hobbies—they could hit up a PC bang or comic cafe together, that’d be fun.
Until ‘her’ gender was revealed.
New student outfit recs?!
Making a poll, pick the best one!
Please help everyone!
⸝⸝◜࿀◝ ⸝⸝
Jinni uploaded pics of ‘women’s clothes’ asking for freshman outfit advice. Siwoo thought it was a joke at first. But one ‘proof shot’ shattered his illusions. Slim waist, sleek legs, modest but perky chest. And above all, no Adam’s apple. Jinni, who posted the proof shot, was a girl. Park Siwoo changed his mind.
He hid the fact that they were in the same department.
All the dumb posts and antics he’d shared on SNS.
He couldn’t reveal his true self to Jinni, who knew about them all.
From then on, he started managing his image.
What kind of girl was she really? What did she look like?
Did she have a boyfriend maybe?
Curiosity sparked interest. But he didn’t show it. Instead, he acted indifferent, like chatting with an old friend. If she opened up to him... then he’d suggest meeting. They were uni classmates and SNS friends—should be doable, right? Siwoo dreamed of a bright future.
“......Huh?”
“What? Forget something?”
“Ah, no... It’s nothing.”
Time flew by, and the first day of classes arrived.
And in the lecture hall, he spotted a girl.
Slim waist, sleek legs, modest but perky chest. And above all, she was wearing the outfit Siwoo had recommended. Still no Adam’s apple. Their eyes met; she gave an awkward nod and looked away. Park Siwoo was certain. She was Jinni. They were in the same major. Learning that, he checked her SNS.
Missed the welcome party ㅠㅠㅡㅠㅠ
Everyone’s getting close except me... What do I do?
I feel so alone...
Her true feelings were posted there.
What’s gae-pa? I’m a cat though?
Kyaang, everyone’s hitting the bar but I’m heading home...
(◞ ‸ ◟ㆀ)
Wanna get close to classmates... but it’s so hard
Q. How do you make friends?
A. Approach first and say let’s be friends.
...Ridiculous! I’m a study-grind type!
Lonely... Got home and no one’s here
Shouldn’t have been stubborn about living alone...
Guess I’ll game... Right, I have online friends!
Siwoo slipped out using the bathroom as an excuse and opened SNS.
And sure enough, her timeline was full of laments. Jinni venting regret about missing the gae-pa. He resented the classmates who’d watched her walk home alone and done nothing. But... he couldn’t entirely blame them. She had an aura that made her hard to approach.
The effect of Jinni—Lee Yu-jin’s—superior looks.
Snow-white skin, sharp nose, piercing eyes.
Her cold impression was the problem.
0 online friends right now... Was everyone popular except me?
( ᴗ_ᴗ̩̩ ) ( ᴗ_ᴗ̩̩ ) ( ᴗ_ᴗ̩̩ )
She was actually such a cute girl.
At least I should comfort her.
As he left a reply, Park Siwoo suddenly realized something. If he learned her worries through SNS and resolved them as the real him... wouldn’t he get close to Jinni—no, Lee Yu-jin? They had similar tastes already... and her looks were right up his alley. The thought of befriending Jinni, befriending Lee Yu-jin, stirred greed.
Time to act friendly starting tomorrow.
Park Siwoo burst into laughter.
“Um... Owner. I didn’t order cake though?”
“I know. Freshman, right? Service to get you coming back often.”
“Waa, thank you!”
Heading out for a walk to lift her mood had been the right call.
The cafe was so clean and had such a pretty view it was baffling there were no customers. After ordering coffee, Lee Yu-jin received the complimentary cake and flashed a happy smile. Handsome owner, reasonable prices, and close by too. Well... she’d taken a bribe, so might as well become a regular?
Lee Yu-jin burst into laughter.
