Level Up
‘When the fuck does this start?’
I'd been sitting in the auditorium for a full hour now. Bored out of my goddamn mind. Sure, I was endlessly scrolling galleries on my phone, but doing it while sitting made even that a chore. I wanted to lounge back comfortably. But no way was I stretching out flat in a public spot like this. Should've brought earbuds if I knew it'd be this lame. Could've at least watched some YouTube.
Boring as shit.
I'd already skimmed all the posts, the bait threads were dragging on forever, no YouTube, just pure fucking boredom.
Maybe hit up Eun-byeol.
I switched my profile to Constellation and fired off a KakaoTalk to her. Sending from "Lee Hyun" usually got ignored—she never even opened them half the time.
She'd already sent a ton.
Meanwhile, my Constellation profile was always flooded with her messages before I even replied. This time, about thirty piled up. I skimmed through them.
What the hell, 92 points?
That's when I spotted her written exam score. A whopping 92. I got a 12... Sure, mine was because I bullshitted it, but the envy hit hard anyway. As a fellow Myeongcheon University student, this felt like straight-up betrayal. Pissed me off for no reason.
But right now, Constellation mode. No bullying her out of spite. Instead of venting, I sent some encouragement.
Reply came instantly. Guess she was glued to her phone. Should've stuck with Lee Hyun and sexually harassed her for fun. Kinda regretted it.
Bzzz, bzzz. Bzzz.
Messages kept pouring in nonstop. Regret deepened. I tossed back occasional replies amid the flood. But she had endless shit to say, spamming away. Starting to get tough keeping up.
Fuck this. Time for suppression.
Switched back to Lee Hyun and messaged her.
Switched profiles again. Messages cut off dead. No Diorama outside my room, but I could picture her face. Like rushing in for hot porn, only to find Hulk... or that grandma. Same vibe.
Eun-byeol making excuses. No clue why, but she was hiding my existence from me. Telling me wouldn't fix shit anyway, but she didn't know Lee Hyun and Constellation were the same guy. Why hide it? Curious, but no urge to pry. Would just mean dealing with her whining as Constellation, racking my brain for solutions. Too much hassle. This was fine.
Anyway, suppression worked—her brainless spam stopped. Or maybe she went in for the exam? No Diorama outside, no way to check. Unread encouragements from Constellation profile suggested she was in.
Back to gallery scrolling then.
Bit of a mood lift, so gallery time. Earlier it was porter vs slacker bait for hours; in the blink of an eye, it flipped to sword vs spear. Soon it'd be magic vs sword, then virgin bait explodes into Tiananmen Square chaos. Obvious as fuck. Better troll before the mods nuke it.
I dove back into the gym-martial gallery, rolling bait threads for laughs.
Wanna get that license already and farm posts.
When the hell do these licenses drop? Fuck, can I just bail home? This mandatory training bullshit? I was fuming.
Training was just regurgitating stale hunter gallery crap: hunters start at E-rank, D-promotion needs certified training camps, etc. Why sit through that?
Deeeeesuuu!
Spit out the goddamn license already!!! I raged internally, fury-scrolling galleries.
Wait, during my tantrum, did a system message flash?
“What, level up?”
Suddenly a level-up window popped. I yanked open my status.
Level: 2 | Class: Bedroom Constellation
SP: 15,292
Level shot from 1 to 2. Nothing else changed, though. Wondering what perks came with it, a system message floated up naturally.
Level has reached 2. Maximum contractable apostles increased to 2.
Acquired 1 GP.
GP?
Something new.
GP can be used to enhance Authorities.
GP can additionally be acquired via level-ups or purchased for 100,000 SP each.
“Oh.”
Looks promising. Authorities only worked in my room, but upgrades? Not bad. Hell, pretty damn good. Diorama, gacha, sponsorship, missions—they were surprisingly useful even room-bound. Take Absolute Power: infinite fap sessions, all-night gaming without fatigue. Life-savers. Strengthening those? Lucky break.
But why'd I level up?
Figure that later. Time to pick an upgrade. Opened Authority management.
• Diorama
• Absolute Power
• Sponsorship
• Gacha
• Message
• Observation
• Mission
Remaining GP: 1
Use GP to enhance an Authority.
Hmm, no preview on effects before spending? No info popped, so blind pick it is. SP buys infinite GP anyway, so full upgrades eventually. Whatever, go random.
What to pick.
Best to boost the most needed. Pondered a bit. Time aplenty.
Absolute Power? Skip. Room Yeopo becoming Room Xiang Yu changes jack shit.
Message and Observation? Nah. Message replaceable via Observation phone numbers. Observation already OP—tells if a girl's a virgin or not. Why upgrade?
Virgin check's enough.
Left: Diorama, Sponsorship, Gacha, Mission. Four options.
Hmm, what'd make headlines as a smart pick... Settled on Diorama. Simple reason: used it most.
Used 1 GP to enhance Authority: Diorama.
(Lv.1) Summons a diorama of a 1km radius area from the sanctuary. Synced with reality.
(Lv.2) Summons a diorama of a 100m radius area around an apostle. Synced with reality.
“Oh, nice.”
So now I can Diorama around Eun-byeol too? Solid upgrade. Before, out of 1km from home, no peeking or messaging. Now, anywhere she is, Diorama access. Plus, Overlord-style proxy: send her scouting, map via her vicinity.
Heh, sweet.
“I'm here.”
Pondering uses, Eun-byeol strolled to the seat beside me. Smiling for some reason. High energy. Normally she'd scowl like she ate shit, but now beaming. Finally accepted her fate of getting railed by me. Heh, cute.
Poke.
“Hngh?!”
I slipped a hand under her skirt and fingered her pussy. Her face twisted, glaring like I was trash.
Not quite accepted, huh. Still groped away.
