A story about Im Hyeji came up on the news.
【At 2 PM today, Semi Guild's C Team encountered an accident while conquering a B-grade dungeon: they ran into the S-grade monster 'Hidden Assassin.' During this, A-grade tanker Mr. Kim perished, but thanks to S-grade healer Im Hyeji's skill awakening right there in the dungeon, the miracle of the dead tanker coming back to life occurred. The Hunter Association has declared this the first instance in human history of acquiring a resurrection skill and is internally debating whether to promote Im Hyeji to SS-grade or SSS-grade...】
I had no intention of just letting her go, but still, with no word from her for days, I'd been pretty worried.
Tip 9. Born skills require ongoing nutrition from their dad. Provide steady nutrition until they reach Lv5, where they can survive independently. Without nutrition, skills degrade after 7 days and die after 14 days.
It's like she has a kid of her own—everything but the physical body.
Im Hyeji at least got to test hers out once, but I have to raise mine properly to Lv5 before I can claim the skill, so with no contact, I was starting to get antsy.
I was even thinking about buying pheromones and heading over.
Oh, and while I was waiting, the system unlocked a few more things.
One of them was the P Shop.
Pregnancy aids, birth aids, dungeon gear, sperm enhancers—everything you could want.
＊ Ultra-Strong Teto Pheromone (A): 1P
Just fucking expensive.
Unless it's a quest rewarding 2-3P or more, buying it is a net loss.
Of course, if it's make-or-break, you buy it.
So you can see how bullshit it is that the pregnancy aids from my quest rewards only gave two Premature Ejaculation Dick Stabilizers—and they're selling three for 1P here.
What's the deal with that resurrection skill?? Wild
They say it's SSS-grade.
Jealous AF.
S-grade healers are already nobility, but SSS?...
SSS might be a stretch? SS makes sense.
Bringing the dead back? Straight SSS.
But she said she can only use it once a month.
Once a month? Hmm...
Her healing's S-grade but the output's meh and sub-skills are attack-based, so SS is still a win.
From the posts popping up on Hunter Gallery, it looked like even Im Hyeji herself was accepting it.
Good. And intriguing.
Everything was unfolding just as I'd predicted.
Well, it's human nature, after all.
When you're beat down, no amount of money makes you want to touch that shit again.
But when life-changing cash rolls in? Hard to ignore.
"Sorry, SSS-grade Sperm."
I apologized to my ability, the one I'd cursed just over the name at first.
This thing is straight-up cheat-tier.
Even after a week since awakening as an SSS-grade hunter, here I am lazing in my room, not even registered yet.
Even if I fuck up using it, how many mechanisms are there forcing Im Hyeji right to me?
I jumped into the Hunter Gallery thread on Gal Cup.
If Im Hyeji offers heals, guys are lining up with mouths and legs wide open whining about heal amounts... but with resurrection? Just chill in camp all raid, revive an SSS hunter once when they wipe, that's worth 200 people's worth lol
Climb high, Hyeji.
I'll chug these nutrients I've got stocked and wait.
I genuinely hoped things went well for her.
That way, I could snag that cheat skill too.
Im Hyeji was ultimately promoted to SS-grade hunter.
【After internal Hunter Association deliberations... Im Hyeji's skill, known as 'Resurrection,' has been confirmed as SSS-grade with true revival capabilities. No one disputes its rarity and potential warranting SSS-grade. However, considering her A-grade mana and the skill's one-month cooldown, we've decided on a provisional promotion to SS-grade. We'll always keep potential further awakenings and growth in mind, preparing for SSS-grade at any time. The Korean Hunter Association pledges to prevent our precious talent from leaking overseas...】
Long-winded bullshit boils down to what Gallery was saying: her base healer skills aren't quite SSS material, and resurrection alone is iffy since it's one per month. So SS for now, SSS if it grows stronger.
Nice "future awakening" talk, but second skill awakenings for hunters are rare as hell anyway.
Im Hyeji didn't even truly awaken—it was just my ability's pregnancy awakening.
"Stingy bastards."
Good news for me, but damn, society can be petty.
A skill that revives the dead.
Sure, conditions apply, but that's worth an extra coin—priceless.
SSS-grade hunters are national treasures.
Joke is, if one dies, the country's power drops.
And this stops that.
I checked Im Hyeji's SNS.
Followers up a million from the news.
Lots from overseas too.
She posted a casual photo, thanking everyone for the support.
The resurrection buzz was big, but a beat later, Semi Guild dropped the video.
The tanker sacrificing to protect the party, slaying the monster.
Screaming party members.
Im Hyeji rushing out, reviving, collapsing from exhaustion.
That video blew up harder—that's why the crowd.
Even got me choked up watching.
She's that kind of girl, huh.
Camera caught her hand trembling on the dead tanker's chest—she's just a regular early-20s girl.
Living that hard in a dungeon full of life and death.
I hit like.
And commented.
Hope this creep drops dead?
What'd Hyeji do to deserve this?
30s glasses-wearing pig shut-in loser fantasist
Even more hate than last time, but I didn't care.
It was true.
And while blowing my last emergency funds on chicken, a DM hit.
HyeJi__02: Kang Jik oppa... right?
"Huh?"
GangJik: Yeah, who's this?
I usually ignore DMs 'cause they're full of hate from comments, but "oppa" caught my eye.
Replied, checked the sender's feed—familiar pics.
Im Hyeji.
HyeJi__02: ...It's Im Hyeji. Hana's friend. Could we... maybe meet? I have something to say.
Embarrassment and hesitation seeped even from the text.
But she pushed through—and I grinned like a winner.
GangJik: Come to my place tomorrow at 1.
Sent, then fired up the 【Pregnancy】 tab to evolve my ability.
I want my dick huge, thick for that full feeling, long enough to hit her womb.
But that won't lock her down for sure.
P needed for perfect dick is insane anyway, and my first sex? How good could it even be.
Better secure steady P first, grow the dick as a bonus.
What I picked: something undeniable, no going back even after taking the load.
Lv1 Mana Sperm
＊ On sperm absorption: +1 mana rank for 24 hours (max S-grade).＊ Vaginal absorption: Duration & mana x2.
Cost: 15P
One ability for 15P.
Enough to boost dick length by at least 3cm.
But no doubt—this was a no-brainer.
Open book.
What Im Hyeji desperately needs now: growth for her SSS-grade Resurrection skill.
And boosting her lacking base mana.
Can't make mana permanent, but turning her S-grade hunter's A-grade mana to S-grade for 48 hours when needed?
"Welcome."
Next day.
Right at 1, Im Hyeji rings the bell—I drag her straight to the bedroom and onto the bed.
