Chapter Title: The Dignity of an SSS-Grade Healer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Virility has risen to A-grade.]
[Virility charge count increased from 16 → 48.]
[SSS-grade Sperm gains 'Enhancement' effect. 0.1% chance to permanently raise the grade of a female's ability or skill by one step.]
[SSS-grade Sperm performance has improved.]
Once Stamina and Magic Power hit A-grade too, the effects were on a whole different level from B-grade.
It was like the difference between running a car and soaring through the sky in a plane.
Just like how S-grade healer Im Hyeji only had A-grade Magic Power, stats didn't simply scale with a hunter's rank.
Hong Si-jun had an SSS-grade ability too, yet his Stamina was only SS-grade.
In the first place, there were barely a handful of people worldwide with SSS-grade stats.
So yeah, stepping into A-grade was like entering another world entirely.
Virility charge count had doubled, then tripled, and now SSS-grade Sperm even gained a special enhancement effect.
Not to mention all the improvements to Sperm performance—there were too many to list one by one.
The real standouts were the pricier, high-end ones, of course.
＊Manages mana with extreme efficiency, reducing mana cost of skills by 50%.
＊Manages mana with extreme efficiency, doubling the amount of mana absorbed.
The first thing that caught my eye among them was this skill born from absorbing an SS-grade magic stone.
"Whoa... fucking insane..."
Skills were a divisive topic, but objectively speaking, there were two types: Active and Passive.
Among them, Passive skills were generally valued higher than Actives.
Some argued that ability-granted effects already filled the Passive role, so skills were better as Actives for balance—but that kind of debate only made sense when skill slots were limited.
For me, who could learn as many skills as I wanted with P, a Passive like this was worth a fortune.
Especially since it synergized massively with 'Mana Pouch,' making it worth the price of an SS-grade magic stone all on its own.
The only downside I'd mentioned before was that Mana Pouch didn't benefit from mana amplification effects.
But Efficient Mana Management doubled absorption right from the start, making it a skill tailored just for me—and I was pretty damn satisfied.
Plus, the mana cost reduction was sweet nectar for skills like Resurrection, where my Magic Power grade was still low.
Of course, in terms of raw mana quantity, injecting it into women still outpaced absorbing magic stones myself.
"Double on intake, triple on output... that's six times over..."
The mana stored in my balls' Mana Pouch doubled, and when transferred to a woman, it became a sixfold cheater's delight.
"Feasting like a king the day before departure."
Kang Hana had panted all day long while getting pounded, then passed out like the dead.
I'd left home early and done the same to Im Hyeji, who was resting now.
At this point, I could really feel just how overpowering my dick had become.
The bigger, the better. The harder, the better. The thicker, the better.
Humans had limits, but once crossed, women turned into beasts howling like they crawled out of some adult vid.
I'd wondered if it was just Kang Hana, but Im Hyeji was the same.
They climaxed like crazy.
I could sense their pleasure usually, but this was a raw, physical peak beyond that.
It felt like I'd crossed some definitive line in growth.
Stats always rose the same way, one grade at a time this round too.
Virility's influence, maybe?
Whatever. Seeing them go wild made my confidence skyrocket for no reason.
I'd been content thinking this was plenty, but now I felt greedy enough to stretch my length a bit more.
Well, I could afford a little greed now.
[P for SSS-grade Sperm growth has been mass-produced.]
[1,000P]
An SS-grade magic stone that gave a whopping 1,000P.
My heart felt a lot more secure.
Sure, cash value-wise, it was an astronomical sum.
'But I picked it up for free.'
Unbeatable logic to bulldoze any doubts.
Ring ring-♪
Not long after, the alarm blared, and Im Hyeji groggily opened her eyes.
"Nngh... I wanna sleep more..."
"You sure?"
"...No. Today's important, after all..."
Time to head to the S-grade dungeon.
@
An S-grade dungeon located on the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province.
With precedents like the Hwaseong outbreak and others, they strongly recommended aggressive clears without delay.
The Hunter Association gave big guild points for tackling S-grades and offered plenty of support besides.
Anyway, Semi Guild had already cleared the Hwaseong outbreak S-grade not long ago, so the participating hunters showed no tension.
They had their own SS-grade hunters, and honestly, while nominally S-grade, outbreaks were way tougher than standard S-grades.
An S-grade with over 20 S-grade monsters was top 1% difficulty already.
Today's dungeon was estimated at under five S-grade monsters—safe enough for an SSS-grade-free clear.
"Everyone, assemble!"
Still, hunters gathered before dawn.
It was practically Semi Guild's full raid force.
Safe didn't mean a cakewalk; high clear chance, sure, but not a stroll in the park.
And today, Guild Master Han Semi was joining.
An A-grade hunter.
She rarely raided due to guild ops, but no one dismissed her skills.
"Thanks to our external hunters for joining today's raid. Quick briefing on the S-grade, then we're heading in."
Around 4 a.m.
Standard procedure: briefing at the gathering spot, prep, then enter.
All eyes locked on the flashy SSS-grade healer Eom O-su.
"She really showed."
"Heard she's here to step on Hyeji's toes."
"Poor Hyeji. Resurrection's on cooldown, right?"
"My heart's saint is Hyeji."
"Still... good for us. Eom O-su's skills are undeniable."
Pig with a pearl necklace didn't even cover it—her gear screamed billions per piece.
Top performance to match, so even Hwaseong vets who saw Resurrection's power couldn't side with Im Hyeji easily.
Heart went out to her, sure.
But they'd rely on Eom O-su heavily today.
As if to flaunt it, the usually hands-off spectator Eom O-su dove in aggressively once combat kicked off.
"Everyone, I'm here at this S-grade to show the true dignity of a saint. Semi Guild requested help for their clear by coincidence. No other SSS-grades? If I can assist, how could I not squeeze in time? Sure, Semi's got famous SS-grade healer Hyeji, but Resurrection's on cooldown, they said. Felt too risky, so here I am, healing hands-on."
Her smug lines, delivered casually for the cameras, grated everywhere.
Whoosh...
Her trademark holy light spread far and wide.
Every healing shower restored party members' conditions, leaving everyone to swallow their bitterness.
"She heals a ton, yeah."
"What can you do... Poor Hyeji."
"Her raw power's just busted."
Revive-on-death vs. keep-alive healing.
Clear pros and cons.
But at the end of the day, for immediate benefits, Eom O-su looked overwhelmingly superior.
Plus, burning mana like crazy to hype the fight made her flashier, cooler.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, Sister. Thanks for checking."
"Save the thanks—I'm the grateful one. Thought about turning her down, but I've got too much on my plate to care. Sorry."
"No, that's ridiculous. I'm the lesser healer here, obviously. Not getting screwed over unfairly or anything—don't sweat it. I've got my own strengths."
Amid it all, Han Semi came to console Im Hyeji.
Her calm words and back-patting seemed mature for her age, but I knew better.
She kept fake-adjusting her face, hand glued to her mouth.
Once Han Semi left, I told Im Hyeji,
"Drop the hand."
"Heehee..."
Her eyes weren't laughing, but lowering the hand revealed twitching, upturned lips.
"Two hours left. Heh heh heh."
She stomped excitedly, grinning darkly.
Im Hyeji, on the cusp of SSS-grade, couldn't care less about Eom O-su.
Just counting down the time.
And time flew.
About three hours.
"This is the dignity of an SSS-grade healer—the power of a saint. Everyone."
Eom O-su, mana thoroughly depleted, gave the cut sign and took a break.
"Short breather, then continue. Whew, exhausting."
No S-grades had even appeared yet—real dungeon clear hadn't started.
But the hunters sensed it.
The flashy broadcast SSS-grade healer had solo-finished her hunt.
