"Si-Siwoo-ya, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Noticing that I was staring intently at her lower abdomen, A-young covered it shyly and spoke.
Even though we'd already seen everything there was to see and done everything there was to do, her reaction was always refreshingly innocent.
"Wait a sec."
The notification window that had disappeared when A-young covered her lower abdomen reappeared as soon as she moved her hand.
[You can imprint a Yin Mark on a target who has reached 100 favorability. The amount of Vitality gained from the target increases by 1.3 times. For 24 hours, the target's stats rise based on the total volume of semen injected into them. The target cannot form relations with anyone of the opposite sex except the caster who imprinted the Yin Mark. You can control the target's pregnancy.]
'Holy shit, this is insane...?'
In the game, reaching 100 favorability rewarded items or points.
So I'd been pretty excited about what kind of reward I'd get upon hitting 100 favorability, but I never imagined it'd be something like this.
Not only did the Vitality I gained increase by 1.3 times, but the target's stats went up too.
It was more than satisfying enough.
Even if it meant giving back the 30,000 Vitality, long-term it wouldn't beat the 1.3x buff.
"A-young-ah, you hit 100 favorability with me this time, right?"
"Oh, r-really? Th-that's great."
She said it like it was someone else's business, but A-young's face lit up like she was thrilled.
Favorability made it easy to know just how much you liked someone.
"So, looks like I got a new ability this time."
I explained the Yin Mark imprinting to her.
I told her about the perks like increased Vitality and stat boosts, and the downside that once imprinted, she couldn't hook up with any other guys besides me.
"What do you think?"
"Yeah, do it."
When I finished explaining and asked for her opinion, she answered without a moment's hesitation.
"You sure you're okay with it?"
"Yeah, I wasn't interested in any other guys besides you anyway. It's like a mark saying I'm yours...? Feels kinda okay..."
"Yeah...?"
"And... Seo-in unnie said she liked having stuff written on her body. Don't you wanna imprint a Yin Mark on my lower belly too, Siwoo?"
A-young made a heart shape with her hands on her lower abdomen and asked me.
This perverted teacher lady, talking about useless crap like that...!
Gotta give her a reward next time we meet.
"Yeah, if it's good, it's good..."
"Pfft... Siwoo, you really suck at acting. You've been staring holes into my lower belly the whole time."
"Have I?"
It was true I couldn't tear my eyes away from her lower abdomen where the Yin Mark would go.
"It's fine. Stamp your seal on me hard, saying I'm Siwoo's."
A-young wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling our faces close, and said.
"Yeah."
Permission granted.
No reason to hesitate anymore.
I selected YES, and a faint pink light emanated from A-young, floating up like mana before gathering at her lower abdomen.
"Heut...? Hat...! Hihik... Haaang...!!"
As the pink mana gathered more on her lower abdomen, A-young let out sweet moans.
The pink mana clumped together more distinctly on her lower abdomen, taking shape and starting to imprint.
A flashy pink heart with wings etched in gradually, and as the pink light fully faded, the Yin Mark was complete.
"A-young-ah, you okay...?"
"Haat... Eut... Hoo... Yeah, I'm fine... It just felt too good..."
A-young must've felt an insane wave of pleasure the moment the Yin Mark formed, soaking the bedsheets transparently and twitching her legs.
"This is the Yin Mark...? So cool... Now I'm totally Siwoo's..."
A-young stroked her lower abdomen with a fascinated, joyful expression.
Siwoo's—those words were so sweet, my heart throbbed painfully around it.
[Yin Mark (Stage 1)]
The words Yin Mark were added to A-young's status window.
"Yeah... Now I'm good, so come here quick...♡"
Unable to hold back any longer, I immediately thrust into A-young's pussy.
Her pussy, perfectly molded to my cock from countless sessions, was even stickier and warmer than usual, squeezing my dick tight like it was thrilled to see its master.
[Target: Seo A-young]
[Orgasms: 17 Pleasure: 100 Arousal: 100]
[The target is the contractor. Vitality gained doubles.]
[Yin Mark effect: Vitality gained increases by 1.3 times.]
[Acquired 1326 Vitality total.]
Thanks to the Yin Mark amplifying her pleasure even more, she passed out again today like always.
∴
"It feels like I got stronger, just like when you receive a Blessing...!"
Right after class ended, A-young came to the Glass World and said in an excited voice.
She was in a state where her stats had risen quite a bit from getting creampied full of my load last night.
Plus, with the pregnancy control function, no worries about getting knocked up.
Honestly, I hadn't worried about pregnancy for a while now anyway.
In the game, creampieing a heroine brought up a 'Impregnate?' choice.
And true to incubus form, my cum volume was insane, boosting her stats a ton.
1% per 50ml.
According to the Yin Mark description, I apparently output an average of 50ml per ejaculation. Last night, I creampied A-young a total of 8 times, raising her stats by about 12%.
Normally it'd only go up by 1 or 2 for original A-young, but after contracting the spirits, she decided there was no need to hold back and dumped points freely.
As a result, the Yin Mark effect averaged 3-4 stat increases, and it even applied to natural mana, boosting her mana by a total of 8.
Right now, it didn't match my absolute-value buffs, but Yin Mark was percentage-based.
Looking long-term, which was better was obvious.
My current BP was 122.
I'd decided to dump all buffs into the base cap of 200, so I invested all the Vitality from last night with A-young into BP.
Leveling Magic Missile by 1 cost 10 BP, which was less efficient, but I'd chosen to prioritize flexibility a bit more.
"First, the Spirit Eye... Hello. Been well? What? You've been right here the whole time...?"
A-young said in a startled voice.
Meaning they'd watched every bit of the sex I had with her last night too.
Of course, I knew that.
"Th-that's... what loving people do... Ah, no, too early for that!"
A-young blushed, glancing at me sneakily, stammering like a mom giving sex ed to her kids.
"A-young-ah, mind asking the spirits if I can see them too?"
"Oh, yeah. They say probably since we're both contractors? They want to link my Spirit Eye's power temporarily..."
The spirits responded right away, like they'd heard my voice.
Suddenly, my vision sharpened and expanded, and I could see the spirits about the size of my palm.
Just like in the game, they had human forms, but mostly embodied fire, water, earth, and wind representing each one.
I greeted them simply, then cut the link using eye strain as an excuse.
They were all so curious, bombarding me with questions, and it got tiring fast.
"Phew... Alright, let's start. This time's monster is Mad Hound. Size of an adult tiger, E+ rank. Uses sharp teeth and claws, super agile. Nothing else too dangerous, so focus on dodging those teeth and claws."
Free from the spirits' question barrage, she sighed tiredly for a sec before starting the explanation.
"Hm. Sounds simple. Let's go."
A-young and I entered the Glass World.
[Grade: E+]
[Mad Hound 21/21]
Right after entering, I used my buffs.
For now, before finding monsters, I boosted the agility and Search Skill needed, plus mana stats for maintaining buffs, and matched A-young's agility to mine.
"Three in a pack northwest... Southeast... Oh, one's alone. Head there first?"
"Yeah."
Confirming A-young's nod, I headed northeast.
She followed steadily behind me.
"For now, I'll just buff your durability so you don't get hurt. Stick to the plan: get you used to Spirit Arts."
The biggest reason we came to the Glass World today was to raise A-young's Spirit Arts proficiency.
No matter how high her talent grade, if she'd never actually used Spirit Arts, it'd be useless.
Needed to max her proficiency before tomorrow.
"Yeah, got it."
A-young nodded, now sensing the Mad Hound's energy herself and looking that way.
-Durability +80
-Stamina +42
This should keep even Mad Hound's attacks from leaving a scratch, no matter the power.
"Pai-ya, attack please."
Before the Mad Hound noticed us, we planned a strong preemptive strike, so A-young called on Pai, her strongest attacker.
A fireball in the form of a blazing orb began forming above her right shoulder.
Fireball was low-grade magic rated just after Magic Missile, but magic and Spirit Arts were totally different realms.
Couldn't call a spirit-made Fireball the same as one from magic.
Pai's attack flew fast at the Mad Hound, nailing it right in the face.
"Kururuk!"
Its face melted a bit, but not major damage, so the Mad Hound glared toward where the fiery orb came from, spotted A-young, and charged.
"Eut...! Grun!"
A-young shouted, and the earth rose slightly, vines wrapping and binding the Mad Hound.
"Pai, once more!"
A-young drew her sword, calling the fire spirit's name, flames blazing on the blade as she rushed the Mad Hound.
"Hup...!"
A gross sizzle came from the Mad Hound's head bound in vines, a faint stench of burning flesh wafting.
Did that kill it? The Mad Hound thrashed to break free but suddenly stopped, leaving a Magic Stone slightly bigger than hobgoblins'.
"Good job."
"Phew... Yeah, wasn't that hard."
She took a big breath and replied.
"See? Good call going E+ like I said."
A-young originally wanted E- Glass World. Probably cautious since new to Spirit Arts. But I was confident soloing E+ easy, so with my push, we went E+.
"Right? Then wanna hit the spot with three?"
"Hmm... Yeah. One was easier than expected, so should be fine."
A-young nodded.
We headed back to the three Mad Hounds and started hunting.
This time, no buffs on her—I just watched her fight.
She held her own pretty well, but three coordinated better than hobgoblins' sloppy attacks, so she was getting pushed bit by bit.
'Hm... Better thin it to two.'
-Mana +62
-Magic Missile +5
Pure stats cap at 100 without first awakening, so buffs max below that. I buffed mana till 60 BP left, then +5 Magic Missile levels.
Self-buffed, I fired Magic Missile, piercing a Mad Hound's forehead.
Instant death.
I widened my eyes at how effortlessly it dropped.
Just a power test shot.
A-young startled at the sudden forehead-shot kill but snapped back and kept fighting.
The 3v1 stalemate where she was slightly pushed shifted hard to 2v1.
Average spirit arts user handles two spirits tops, but A-young maxed her talent, wielding four smoothly. Result: her win.
"Haa... Haa... Si-Siwoo-ya."
"Yeah?"
"That was Magic Missile, right...?"
She asked in disbelief.
"Yeah."
"Wow...! Magic Missile's that strong...?"
Of course not normally.
Considering I'm a student at E-rank, it was impressive, but this was buffs and skills from Vitality rewards of near-endgame save files. Weak would suck. D-rank Hunters could probably do it easy too.
"You were amazing too, A-young. Looked like you were casting magic yourself, not the spirits."
Spirit Arts stronger and sharper than magic.
But downside: less precise.
Unlike magic you cast directly, spirits use the natural mana you supply, so they gotta match your intent perfectly—spirits key.
That's why game spirit arts users emphasized bonding.
But her? Just called names, and they responded perfectly to the situation.
"Yeah, guess my kids are pretty smart...?"
A-young beamed proudly at her spirits.
Seeing that made me wanna knock her up with my kid, so I slyly changed topic.
"Ahem... Anyway, clear quick and retry?"
"Yeah!"
A-young nodded with eager eyes.

A-young said E-grade dungeons onward give points by monsters killed, plus clear bonus.
We cleared E+ Glass Worlds three times total before dark, then back to the room for love.
She told the spirits not to follow to the room... but who knows?
Doubt the curious bunch would listen.
