Chapter Title: Quest's Climactic End
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ye-na seemed twice as excited as usual.
The fact that she was naked in the men's bathroom of a bustling amusement park, combined with me discovering she was Amber, appeared to crank her arousal up to eleven.
And the knowledge that she was showing this scene to her boyfriend, Kang Min-hyuk, was probably fueling her excitement even more.
Knowing that, I flashed a grin at the video call filming us from a distance.
The call was showing an utterly unbelievable scene, leaving me laughing in sheer disbelief.
I leaned in close to her ear and whispered softly enough that the call wouldn't pick it up.
"Your boyfriend's jerking off."
"...R-Really?"
Ye-na replied.
She didn't need to use polite speech with me, but it seemed the intense, recent memories as Amber had etched deeper into her mind than our time as schoolmates, so she kept slipping into formal language.
Stunned by the news, Ye-na kept trying to glance back at her phone, but she couldn't bring herself to turn her head.
That would give it all away for real.
"Don't worry, I'll send it to you later."
I told her.
True to my word, the entire call was being recorded.
Our lewd antics, Kang Min-hyuk's masturbation—everything.
Part of me wanted to go all the way to the end, but we couldn't.
No matter what, finishing in a bathroom at a crowded amusement park carried way too much risk.
Besides, Kang Min-hyuk already seemed to be hitting his limit.
"Spread your legs a bit."
Without hesitation, Ye-na parted her legs slightly.
I gripped her ass firmly and spread her slit open with my fingers.
Making sure it was visible on the phone.
[Ye-na, sorry...]
Sure enough, over the phone came muffled sobbing moans as Kang Min-hyuk reached his climax.
And just like that, sage time hit—Kang snapped back to reality, hurriedly cleaning up while muttering regrets.
Watching it filled Ye-na with a thrill of betrayal, her breaths coming in ragged gasps.
"There."
"Hngh... haaah...!"
To satisfy that pent-up desire, I rubbed her pussy up and down with the same fingers I'd spread her with. Ye-na let out choking moans as her legs went weak, squirting in an awkward stance.
Then I ended the call.
"How was that?"
"...It was good... really good..."
It was good for me too.
Thanks to it, I'd cleared the hidden quest.
This made three hidden quests cleared in this main quest.
The first was meeting Ye-na as Amber.
The second was secret skinship in front of Kang Min-hyuk.
The third was the one I'd just finished: making Ye-na climax right in front of him.
I'd managed to complete them all right before the week was up.
I'd thought there were only two hidden quests, but no.
Ye-na tidied herself up.
After that one climax, her complexion actually looked healthier than usual.
"I'll head out first then."
"Yeah."
I sent Ye-na out ahead.
If we left together, Kang would definitely recognize the woman from the video call, so we staggered our exits.
In truth, he should've figured it out from the call alone, but that's just how Kang Min-hyuk was.
Like me before my ex-girlfriend got stolen by Kim Tae-yang.
The kind of guy who notices nothing until it's far too late.
In a way, I felt a strange kinship.
"...Time to go."
When I left the bathroom and returned to the bench where I'd split from Kang, he sat there with a guilty look, while Ye-na eyed him curiously.
Kang and I exchanged no real words.
Just a nod when our eyes met.
I didn't know what meaning that nod held, but Kang at least looked satisfied.
After that, Ye-na dragged us around the amusement park again, enjoying the rides.
I thought I liked amusement parks.
Until I rode the roller coaster four times in a row.
Gravity—and solid ground under my feet—felt like blessings.
By 7 p.m., Kang and I were shuffling around like zombies without Ye-na.
Stumbling, hunched over.
For dinner, we ate at a Chinese place inside the park.
We'd planned to bus to near Hongdae where Kang lived, but no way were we in bus-riding shape.
"Give me your account numbers, both of you."
"Sure, I'll Kakao it."
"Me? Why?"
Kang, who'd covered the bill for all three of us, sent his without question. Ye-na tilted her head curiously but shared hers too since it was my request.
The reason was simple.
This long quest was finally wrapping up.
'Damn, somehow cleared the main and all the hidden quests solid.'
It was all thanks to these two playing right into my hands.
Short as our connection was, I felt something special for them, so I wanted to give a parting gift.
I wired 400 million won to each account.
The max I could send right now.
A normal account couldn't handle that amount, but as a stock whiz, I'd already upped my transfer limits—just needed a quick annoying verification.
Right after, a call came confirming if I'd sent it. I said yes, and it went through fine.
"Not delivery—actually eating at a Chinese spot like this feels so nostalgic."
"Yeah. Tastes even better inside the park somehow."
I wondered what faces they'd make later checking this amid their joy over Chinese food.
After leaving the park, we boarded the bus.
Exhausted Kang dozed off against the window, and I stole one last kiss with Ye-na.
To call it mutual was a stretch.
She'd initiated, one-sided.
"M-mmph...?"
"Shh, Min-hyuk might wake."
Humans adapt, huh.
Now she seemed to relish the razor-thin thrill.
We kept our lips locked, dodging glances, until the bus arrived.
"See you."
With Ye-na's whisper, the two walked away.
And perfectly timed, my body—no, the entire world except me—shook violently.
I squeezed my eyes shut, determined not to fall for it twice. When I opened them, I was back in my original world.
An emptiness settled in.
"Grew attached already, huh."
There's that saying.
Dick-think is scary.
I used to deny it, but now I had to admit.
Started for the quest, but after mixing bodies, feelings for Ye-na had bloomed.
My arms felt oddly empty.
Maybe that's why I pulled out my phone on impulse.
It was different from the one in that world.
No billions in stocks, no adult streams with jiggling tits.
Instead—well, not instead—there were SNS posts and messages from a beautiful woman.
[Han Na: I'm free today...]
[Han Na: Want ramen.]
Her awkward, blatant appeal felt familiar, making me chuckle.
She'd never flirted like this with a guy before, thanks to frigidity.
First time making a move on a man, maybe?
Seeing it eased my loneliness a bit.
[Door'll be unlocked]
[Han Na: Okay]
Her reply was lightning-fast.
Like she'd been waiting. It felt oddly endearing.
Thinking back, I'd pulled that crazy stunt in the real world without even a quest.
I smirked with a complicated expression.
Thanks to Han Na calming me, I reviewed the skills from the quest.
Big haul this time.
Honestly, at some point I'd just followed my desires, but somehow cleared every hidden quest.
Total new skills: three.
Got two of the same Weapon Technique, so they merged into level 2.
And the main quest reward was pending.
[A random skill level will increase.]
[Weapon Technique level has increased by 1.]
Bringing Weapon Technique to level 3.
"...Level 3, huh..."
No skill of mine had hit level 3 before.
Not even level 2.
But I'd never really missed higher levels.
Level 1 skills performed plenty well enough. So what could a level 3 do? Anticipation bubbled up.
First thing that came to mind: all those quest worlds.
Wuxia, heroes, apocalypse, fantasy. Even worlds from novels or comics.
Places I'd dreaded without combat skills.
Now... maybe I could handle them.
My heart started pounding again.
