Chapter Title: How to Steal the Protagonist's Woman
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Min Ha-yeon and I spent four days in the waiting village living a life of luxury that most people could only dream of experiencing once in a lifetime.
The hotel penthouse was the best facility I’d ever stayed in.
Especially the pool—it was a work of art.
'Damn... fucking in the pool like in the movies was pure bliss.'
[If you have the spare resources later, it might be good to add a pool to the ship.]
'Yeah, a pool's a solid entertainment option.'
It seemed like it was about time to set up some leisure facilities, if only for Viola and Beatrice's sake.
Min Ha-yeon and I didn't spend all day every day just fucking, of course.
We diligently hunted in the mornings and afternoons to rack up points.
The pattern was heading out to the hunting grounds first thing, grinding like maniacs, then coming back around sunset.
And I secretly slipped points to Min Ha-yeon over the four days, letting her level up hard.
As a result, she managed to max out her Archery and Bullet Time skills at level 10.
Even in a waiting village like this, she couldn't have pulled that off without Artemis's potions.
But that intense grinding wasn't even tough.
The hard part was...
'Whoa... good thing it ended just before I turned into a total mummy...'
[Without Enel, you'd have collapsed from exhaustion ages ago.]
'Exhaustion? I would've died of having too much sex....'
Min Ha-yeon's sex drive was on a whole different level from any woman I'd met so far.
Once she got going, five rounds was the bare minimum.
She didn't pop off with lust at random times, though.
Like the athlete she was, when it was time to focus, she focused intensely and finished the hunt immediately.
But the thing was, after focusing that crazily during the day, she focused just as crazily on sex once night fell.
Blissful. I'm not just saying that—pure bliss.
Happy enough to joke about dying from it.
Who wouldn't love a life this happy?
'Sigh... back to the Colosseum, huh.'
Still, it stung knowing that after regressing, I'd have to put on an act for a while.
The sun was now climbing toward midday.
Time to head to the next floor.
Once we moved, the command authority over Han Yeo-reum would expire.
The command's duration was tied to our stay in this village.
The moment we left, he’d either off himself or come charging at me to kill—something drastic for sure.
His girlfriend—whom he’d seen get raped—was now writhing on another man’s dick day after day, shaking her hips and acting slutty on some other guy’s pelvis.
More likely, he would come for my head, even if it meant halving his stats via the penalty, rather than suicide.
I chuckled and said over comms,
'Just in case, we should prep some countermeasures, right?'
[There is no telling what he might do. It would be wise to prepare in advance.]
I slipped some superconductor bullets into my pocket for quick use if needed.
Min Ha-yeon and I enjoyed one last lavish meal at the hotel before heading to the village center.
There stood Han Yeo-reum, stomach growling audibly, body shrunken from starvation.
'Dumbass, all that pointless pride...'
I'd worried he might straight-up starve to death, so I'd planned to at least make sure he ate and slept.
We could've eaten together at restaurants, so I'd intended to drag him along.
But unless I forced him with commands, he threw a fit refusing any kindness from me, so I'd left him to it.
Still, the fact he could move around at all was thanks to Min Ha-yeon.
She had bought groceries from the shop and given them to the starving Han Yeo-reum.
While buying him food, Min Ha-yeon had asked him various things.
'Ha-yeon really went all out to fuck with Han Yeo-reum. Puhaha.'
[The anger she had accumulated over time did seem quite significant.]
'Stealth really is a god-tier skill.'
A few days ago, worried Han Yeo-reum might find some loophole in my commands, I'd eavesdropped on their chats using Stealth.
Min Hayeon fed him while bombarding him with questions about what makes guys feel good.
Whenever Min Ha-yeon was alone with him, Han Yeo-reum begged her not to meet me.
But Min Ha-yeon ignored him, bringing up all his past misdeeds to justify herself.
"You've hooked up with tons of girls too! Can't I have a little fun?"
"Th-that's different! You can't compare guys and girls!"
"Whatever! Anyway, since you gave me permission to meet people, I'm going to do it!"
Their talks just looped the same crap.
Hard to believe they were a couple.
But Han Yeo-reum didn’t back down, relaying all my trash talk to persuade her.
"Th-that bastard! He straight-up said he approached you just to fuck you! And he raped you! Why the hell are you sticking with a guy like that?!"
"...What can I do? It feels too good."
"Wh-what?!"
Min Ha-yeon let out a huge sigh, head bowed, then bellowed at the top of her lungs.
"What am I supposed to do when Seong Su-ho's cock feels so good!!"
"D-don't say things like that!! Min Ha-yeon, you weren't that kind of girl!!"
She kept landing verbal critical hits on Han Yeo-reum as she grabbed his shoulders and yelled.
"I totally was like this! Yeah! I was scared as hell when he raped me! But... but! Every time Su-ho's cock thrusts in, it feels so insanely good—what can I do?!"
"Your whole premarital chastity thing was a lie, huh?!"
She was a true believer to the extent that it was explicitly noted in her Trait.
It was because of the NTL Trait that developed as her affection for me rose, combined with a near-death situation, that she had entered into a relationship with me.
However, Han Yeo-reum, unaware of this, believed that Min Ha-yeon's virginity had been taken simply because she was granting one of my requests.
He would find it utterly incomprehensible that Min Ha-yeon, who had been a virgin until the day before, had suddenly become a sex addict..
Especially since he'd been the guardian of that virginity.
Min Ha-yeon gave Han Yeo-reum a meaningful look and whispered softly.
"...No, that really was precious to me."
"Th-then!"
Cutting her off, Min Ha-yeon flashed a bright smile.
"Thanks to that, it was great because I could properly feel the first-time experience when I had sex with Su-ho!"
"Min Ha-yeon!!!"
Min Ha-yeon finally shoved off the clingy Han Yeo-reum and snapped at him.
"Argh! I just wanted to ask some questions, and you wasted my time!"
Leaving the wailing Han Yeo-reum behind, Min Ha-yeon ran straight back toward the hotel.
Am I just too old? How'd three lunatics end up in this tiny village together?
"Pfft, like there's anyone as normal as me."
You're the craziest one lololol
Guardian of the Gay Little Dick cracked up "praising" me like that before dropping some real praise.
Anyway, good job lolol Made me 500k points.
"...? Huh? 500k points? How?"
You got it for clearing Floor 0.
"?????"
Gay Peepee explained after seeing my confused expression.
The entities of the channel were beings who spent their ages entering the channels of summoners just for the fun of watching.
However, no matter how spectacular a scene a summoner produced, they were ultimately mortals, and their actions couldn't be entertaining every single time.
Therefore, Yggdrasil sought ways to increase the interest of the channel entities, and thus a system was created where those who watched a summoner who satisfied special conditions would receive points as a reward.
Channel folks then used those points to mission summoners into desired scenarios for amusement.
They toss out 50k weekly too, but it's chump change—basically nothing.
"Ah... so those points are basically mine? Gimme."
You nuts? lololololol
I asked Guardian of the Gay Little Dick—one more amid the curses and laughter.
"Wow, so every time a summoner arrives, you pick someone who looks like they'll survive and enter their channel?"
Yeah, most do.
"...? Are you different?"
I came 'cause you looked like a pro slut.
"What the fu... "
That felt like calling me a total slut. Kinda stung.
lololol But I rooted for you to survive. Don't wanna switch summoners again.
I was starting to like Guardian of the Gay Little Dick when another question popped up.
"Then if you clear Floor 0, leave the channel, latch onto a new summoner, and keep farming 500k—profit, right?"
Sure, failure risk's high, but 500k ain't pocket lint.
If I kept earning like that, I could enter a place I wanted and set missions with huge points.
But Guardian of the Gay Little Dick cleared it up quick.
Nah, Once you enter, you can't change channels. You can only change channels when the summoner dies..
According to Gay Peepee, because there was a possibility that channel entities might move around recklessly and cause turmoil, channel changes were only possible upon the summoner's death.
However, he mentioned that there were cases where, after a summoner died, some would enter the channel of the person who killed their summoner to cause chaos.
Watch out for ones who get too attached and rage. No way to know if a psycho's watching, tho.
Not all channel dwellers were jolly like Guardian of the Gay Little Dick.
Some might always be angry, and some might be perpetually pessimistic..
If such people became emotionally invested in their summoner and that summoner died, there was no way they would just let it go.
Of course, if they came into the chat window, I could just ban them, but that would surely have its limits. Such as no bans in boss fights with Min Ha-yean
They would spam every mindfuck tactic to shatter my mentality and drain mental strength.
"Don't make enemies, got it."
Yup. From the 1st floor onward, even if they're weak, there will be quite a bit of power struggling, so be careful.
"Thanks. Will do."
I thanked Guardian of the Gay Little Dick and glanced at Min Ha-yeon.
'Well... Floor 1's a reset to Floor 0 anyway...'
The four days of happiness left me melancholic now.
Even if by chance Min Ha-yeon and I returned here, Han Yeo-reum would kill himself to sabotage us.
[Please don't worry too much. Surely one day we'll reach the end together...]
As Armonia comforted me, a blue barrier suddenly enveloped the area.
I instantly recognized it.
"A Safe Zone?"
It was a personal Safe Zone, similar to when I had entered the Colosseum.
Looking at Min Ha-yeon and Han Yeo-reum, they were flustered within their respective Safe Zones.
'Are we not moving to the next floor immediately?'
[According to the explanation from the Zodiac, they will provide basic instructions and ten thousand points, let us decide the floor, and then move us.]
The moment Armonia finished explaining, a fairy popped out.
"Hello! Enjoy your stay here?"
"Uh... yeah."
They all looked identical—hard to tell if it was the same one.
"It's me! The one you saw before! Fairy No. 108!"
"Ah... sure, I knew that."
"Don't lie! Anyway, briefing time~"
The fairy launched into the next floor explanation.
I already knew about upper and lower layers.
And Min Ha-yeon and I had already agreed to go to the Upper floor.
"From the 1st floor onward, a peaceful life like in Zephyrum Village will be difficult! However, as a gesture of encouragement for those who have cleared the tutorial, I will give you ten thousand points!"
"Wow..."
"..."
I forced a smile, laughing awkwardly. 'Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.'
10k points? 1k Enel. Couldn't fake joy if I tried.
What the hell do you buy with 1k Enel...
Once the fairy wrapped up, two square hologram windows appeared.
Each labeled Upper Layer and Lower Layer with buttons.
"That's my job done! Deliberate carefully, click your choice to move. Bye~!"
The Fairy vanished in a hurry after spilling the beans.
I ignored it and eyed the buttons.
'Sigh... Ha-yeon wouldn't accidentally press the wrong button and go to the Lower floor, right?'
Armonia immediately answered my question that wasn't really a question.
[Min Ha-yeon and Han Yeo-reum will proceed to the Upper floor without issue.]
'...? What do you mean? Can you see other locations from the ship?'
Armonia answered quietly to my question.
[This is currently the 43rd regression.]
