I'd suddenly been saddled with homework.
This was supposed to be a game I started just to have fun... but when I snapped out of it, there was a mountain of stuff I had to do right away.
Siwoo's note laid out the optimal quest path up to level 15. Thanks to Haito, some of it was already cleared... Wait, hold on. Is this really it? No reply when I whispered him. Was he in a raid? Honestly, it was pretty disappointing.
"Haaah..."
No matter how busy he was, couldn't he at least show his face?
That's the whole reason I'd started the game... but even in-game, Siwoo was hard to pin down. At this rate, a game date felt like cruel and unusual punishment. I asked his level, and he said 58... Mine was still single digits. Sigh, a deep breath escaped me on its own.
"...Blacksmith quest?"
I got where Siwoo was coming from.
In an RPG, level was everything. Different levels meant different areas, so we needed to catch up somewhat. But still, we were boyfriend and girlfriend. Couldn't we at least meet up for a quick hello? Like how Haito joined me yesterday... I wanted to spend time in the same spot, but my boyfriend was dead serious about the game.
Well... what could I do?
The one who loves more loses, right?
Pocketing my disappointment, I started leveling by following the route on his note. First up: the blacksmith quest. I found the forge north of Luton Village and got the quest from Uncle Eric. The goal? Slay 10 Bolik Boars.
"Fire Ball!"
"Fire Ball!"
"Fire..."
"...Fire Ball!"
"......Fire Ball!"
"Shiiit... Why does this eat so much mana?!"
But thinking about it, hunting wasn't a walk in the park.
Mana ran dry after just a few barrages.
I found myself unconsciously looking for Haito.
"......Snap out of it!"
But we'd decided not to meet anymore.
I needed buffs, but it was time to graduate from Haito. Having a boyfriend and kissing another guy... that was a total no-go. Even in a game, there were lines you didn't cross. Shaking off temptation, I barely finished the quest.
"Hmmm... Took longer than the rumors suggested."
"Ahaha, really?"
"Not sure if you'll manage the next one."
"I'll be fine! Just leave it to me!"
"Take your time, just bring 'em."
"......100?"
"Need that many for smelting."
"O-okay. Be right back!"
But the real quest grind was just beginning.
100 Sharp Fangs from Black Boars, 50 Intact Claws from Murtangs, 200 Dry Twigs from Hawk Dryers... Aaaah, why so many?! That "homework" word popped back up. Felt less like gaming, more like manual labor. Yesterday was pure bliss... but today's The Fantasy was pure agony.
Right on cue, Haito's whisper pinged in.
In the end, I called him over.
But seriously... no funny business. Just grab the buff and bounce. One-hour buff, so one kiss should do it. Yup, one kiss for an hour? Total win. Last time, absolute last... I permitted one final lip-lock, then headed to the hunting grounds to spam spells...
"Why?!"
...I'd planned to blast away, but somehow my mana was tapped out.
"Ah, J. No way you're level 8 already?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Gotta refresh the buff then."
"......What?!"
Turns out "Playful Kiss" only worked in lowbie brackets. Post-level 8, past newbie phase, I needed the next-tier buff. Which meant... something beyond a light peck.
"You good?"
"What exactly?"
"Y'know... a real kiss. Like it sounds."
"Wh-what kind?!"
"The kind you're thinking."
"......Urk."
Grind sans buffs for a week
VS
Deep kiss once, quest done in a day
My pick: the latter.
"Haa, haaa... *churuup*, haaa..."
"C'mon J, be more into it."
"Mmm... *churp*, *chuuup*... *puhaa*, *churup*..."
Siwoo, dead serious about the game, was ice cold.
A world quest triggered by sheer coincidence stacking up. Only select players could join, and Siwoo poured every ounce into it. Thrilled that his girlfriend started playing, but... step away now, and who knew how it'd flip? As party leader and battalion commander, Siwoo had to hold the line.
...That was the trap I'd set.
Not much of a trap if she mattered more, but... gamers gonna game. World quest star Siwoo dumped everything into The Fantasy. Result? Yu Jin-hee felt lonely and responded to my whisper.
Her shy confession that she needed buffs.
I seized the chance for a deep kiss with Yu Jin-hee.
She hesitated at first... but beginnings are the hard part. Timid tongue play turned to acceptance. Day one to day two, she parted her lips on her own. Addicted to buffs, she lost reason bit by bit.
"Level 13 already? You're adapted now, huh?"
"Yeah, sorta...?"
"Done your first job change?"
"Yup. Soon as the quest popped."
"Ah... should've said. Means another buff swap."
"......Huh?"
If Siwoo had shown even once midway, she wouldn't have fallen this far.
But Siwoo, locked in world quest, stayed war-focused... Disappointment piled on Yu Jin-hee, flipping her mindset. No guilt, just a nod. Even when I said fondle her chest, she didn't back down.
"Ha-ut..."
"Always thought it when I saw 'em. Wanted to touch."
"......Pervert, urk... haa, mmm..."
"All guys are the same? Oh, kiss time."
"*Churuup*... haa, urk... mm..."
"Nips are hard?"
"Shut up, ha-ut... haa, shut up..."
Soft yet springy chest. Ignoring this for war games? Classic Siwoo. I gave thanks today too, hugging her tight. Undid buttons, teased her erogenous zones. Over bra first, then under. Teased, she let out lewd moans.
[Devil's Temptation: Boosts HP/MP recovery by 500% for 30 min.]
[Effect applied.]
"Haa, haaa... haaaang..."
"Need more, just say."
"Th-thanks... haa..."
30 min later, another kiss.
30 min after, teased her nipples.
Last buff? Bare chest grope.
Next day, Yu Jin-hee hit 15.
But Siwoo ghosted again. New linked quests.
Blindsided after building hype, she got betrayed. I took her to that hill from before for comfort. Told her level 15 meant new buff. She sighed, nodded, bent over. New buff needed fellatio. And Yu Jin-hee didn't resist.
"......*Churuup*."
This pace? Sex by weekend easy.
