Apart from some minor side effects, the elixir's effects were incredible.
What could I say—my masculine pride had skyrocketed... I was now at a level where I could star in adult videos without shame... Sure, size wasn't everything, but it definitely satisfied that visual itch.
This was the result of downing ten bottles of elixir.
But I hadn't sacrificed C-grade combat gear just for eye candy.
At the very least, C-grade equipment would have boosted my combat power or assets right away.
The real key was this: sublimating this overflowing vitality into another form. That was the whole point of the Vital Energy Conversion skill.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and focused my mind below my lower dantian, on the scorching hot core.
'Mana conversion.'
As the skill activated, the heavy, burning fullness in my groin began slowly transforming into a different kind of energy.
The throbbing heat in my shaft and the weight of backed-up semen converted into pure mana, filling my mana core.
The bursting pressure in my balls shifted into a pleasant fullness, like it was packed with refined mana.
Whew...
I let out a long exhale, and a smile crept onto my face at the sensation of rich mana spreading through my body. It felt like I'd chugged several mana potions. I had probably reached the mana capacity of a C-grade hunter.
"Yeah, this is more like it."
Crafting or whatever could wait—I'd level that up later through my clones' auto-hunting.
What mattered now was this pure physical enhancement!
I left the bathroom and headed back to Yuneungmok.
But up close, he looked a bit off.
His back rose and fell subtly with ragged breaths leaking out, and beads of sweat dotted his forehead and the nape of his neck peeking through his neatly combed hair.
“Di... did you finish it all?”
"Yeah, I got it all down. You okay, though? You're sweating bullets—did it not sit right with you?"
His voice even sounded shaky.
As I approached, Yuneungmok took a step back.
"N-no... It's just hotter than I thought today. Don't worry about it."
Winter's almost here...
Well, if he said he was fine, it wasn't my place to push.
"Then, shall we head back? Instructor Seraphina said you could skip class today if needed."
"No, I'll attend all my classes."
I wanted to check out Class D's lessons anyway.
I wasn't always a straggler.
I'd attended classes in the E-grade hunter section for a while.
This was two grades higher, but honestly, it didn't feel that different. The classroom was a bit bigger than E-class's, and the equipment looked slightly more modern, but the vibe was pretty much the same.
The low, monotonous voice of the professor giving the lecture.
“Up to last class, we covered the three methods for emergency mana core activation. Today...”
Blah blah blah.
Honestly, these theory classes were a drag. Useless.
I didn't remember every detail of the world's lore, but I knew what was important and what wasn't.
By the end of class, it hit me clear as day.
'Class D's lessons aren't all that different either.'
Racking up achievements to unlock the warehouse would do way more for my specs than sitting through this.
Truth be told, I didn't have much time after barely passing the straggler exam.
To even touch the academy's main storyline, I needed to climb to C-grade—no, B-grade—by the spring semester, about four months from now.
'Auto-hunting and sex are givens, but what I need to do right now is...'
The Maker Sect.
The place I'd been kicked out of for lacking skill. I needed to knock on their door again.
As soon as the lecture ended, I packed up to leave, but a familiar yet oddly carefree voice hit the back of my head.
“Hey, Kang Ihyeon!”
Sure enough, it was Lee Soo-yeon.
She still hadn't given up.
“Class is over—where you headed?”
"I—"
She didn't even wait for my answer, striding over with a sly smile. She curled her left index finger and thumb into a circle, then stuck out her tongue through it, wetting her lips suggestively.
“Come on, don't be like that. I'm into you—wanna have some fun with me?”
Peropero.
Her tongue flicked the hole in her fingers...
Way too aggressive.
I mean, even if I'd leveled up, a girl with that body approaching without an agenda?
No way. Come on, I'm not an idiot.
She was the type to snag useful guys and turn them into her slaves. She'd popped up a few times in the main story too.
I'd gotten bad vibes before, but now I was set on avoiding her.
I ignored her gesture stone-faced.
“Got business.”
“Aw, business? What is it? More important than me?”
“Yeah, more than you. Move.”
Lee Soo-yeon looped her arm around mine, pressing her body close. Softness hit me along with her signature sweet perfume stinging my nose.
I shoved her arm off firmly. But she showed no signs of backing down, glomming on again.
“Hmph, playing all sneaky and having fun alone? Play with me today, huh?”
“Quit clinging! I said I have stuff to do...”
That was the moment. As I reached to push her shoulder, she twisted to keep hold of my arm. Our movements clashed, and my hand accidentally veered toward her chest.
Grab—
Huh? Along with that thought, my hand closed around something unexpectedly squishy—not the firm bounce I'd expected. Instead of full, elastic mounds, it felt like pure softness. As I yanked my hand back in shock, Lee Soo-yeon let out a short shriek and jumped away.
“Kyaaah! Wh-what the hell?!”
Her face flushed crimson as she clutched her chest with both arms, but it was too late. A blouse button popped off, and two crescent-shaped white pads tumbled limply to the floor.
Cushioned, familiar-looking things.
Silence hung for a beat.
I reflexively bent down and picked them up. They felt light and spongy, like silicone or foam.
Breast pads? Those fake tits were fakes?
“Ah! No! Give them back! You pervert bastard, hand them over!”
Lee Soo-yeon's scream shattered the quiet.
Face beet red, she lunged like a beast and snatched the two pads from my hand.
She hugged them desperately, panting hard. When she looked up at me, the playfulness was gone from her eyes—replaced by cold contempt and deep disgust, like I was a bug.
But then, something weird happened.
The surface of the two squishy pads in her grip started wriggling like they were alive. Tiny eyes and cute mouths appeared on their soft curves.
“......!”
I was speechless. What the...
“What're you staring at, you pervert freak...!”
She ground her teeth briefly, then muttered something like an incantation under her breath.
Strange, unintelligible syllables flowed from her lips. Once done, she shouted.
“Boing-boings, back to your positions!”
⟨ Familiar Recall ⟩
The two face-bearing pads in her hands suddenly squirmed with energy, bouncing into the air like tiny wings flapping! They slapped right back onto her blouse, exactly where breasts should be.
And then the amazing transformation happened.
Like steamed buns swelling up, her chest ballooned around the pads, instantly voluptuous again. No trace of flatness—just bursting, luscious volume reclaiming its spot. Even the blouse seemed to stretch naturally with it.
“...Familiars?”
I muttered dumbly. Not fake tits—living magical creatures shaped like breasts.
Familiars!
Even for a game, what a crazy chick.
Lee Soo-yeon, not even embarrassed, crossed her arms arrogantly and glared.
“Yeah, my cute little Boing-boings! Jealous? These are 'real' tits you'd never touch in your life!”
"They are real... just not in the way you mean..."
“Sh-shut up! You... you know what this is? Talk trash and you're done for!”
She fumbled for an excuse, then lit up like she'd thought of one, emphasizing her words.
“Th-this is...! An advanced magic technique taught directly by Instructor Seraphina! Not for straggler trash like you to gossip about! Got it? I'm under the instructor's protection!”
She thrust out her chest on that last bit, like it was an invincible shield—those artificially puffed-up mounds.
Ah.
Yeah, Seraphina used something similar.
The Chimera Pact—linking someone else's body to your own.
In Lee Soo-yeon's case, plugging other bodies into those fluffy familiars kinda made sense.
Her hand stuff back then felt pretty good too...
"...Fine, I'll buy it. For now. But weren't you Swordsmanship Sect? Summoning magic and weird spells—you're full of surprises."
"Hmph, obviously. Don't underestimate a girl's dreams."
Dreams about boobs, huh...
Pretty modest.
Lee Soo-yeon shook off her fluster quick, chin up like nothing happened, strutting her stuff.
I stared at her brazen attitude in disbelief.
“So that's it—using fake tits to seduce and toy with guys. Like how you lured Park Jinseong, who's always glued to you. Am I next on the list?”
My blunt words made her eyebrow twitch, but she smirked back.
“Hmph, even a loser like Park Jinseong's stronger than you. I just kicked his ass 'cause his personality sucked. Yeah, I had my eye on you. Wanted to see for myself what makes the guy our respected Instructor Seraphina notices so special.”
She finished and closed in, shoving my chest with her palm to pin me against the wall.
“Tempted yet? Conditions are simple: just go a hot round with me. I won't be whiny like those other lame boys. No blackmail or drama—clean fun. You just keep quiet about what you saw today. Win-win, right?”
She pressed closer, whispering. That sweet perfume tickled my nose again. But despite her blatant seduction, a suspicion nagged at me.
“Hold up—don't tell me down there is a familiar too? The real one's saved separately?”
My question froze her face, a sharp “Eek!” slipping out. Nailed it. But she switched back to shameless grin, yanking my collar.
“Sharp one! Yeah, spot on! Gotta save my real virginity for an S-grade husband prospect—at least A-grade. Can't just give it to trash like you!”
She added provocatively.
“Don't worry, though. Once you feel how sticky and good my snake pussy 'Slurpy' is, you won't care if it's real or fake. Bet I thrill you more than most girls.”
So, snake in the pussy, huh?
I glanced down, and like she'd read my mind, Lee Soo-yeon hissed like a cat with its tail stepped on.
"I don't stuff it in there!"
