【2_SuA: Concert tomorrow, you didn't forget, right?】
When I got the DM from Lee Soo-ah, I realized with a start.
"Whoa, almost fucked up."
Has time really flown by that fast?
The S-grade dungeon raid wasn't too far off schedule to begin with, but between going there and back, dealing with Im Hyeji's double SSS-rank hunter registration, her earning the Saint title, and all sorts of other juicy hooks worth watching, I hadn't even noticed the days slipping away.
【KangJik: Heading to the concert venue now to grab seats and wait】
I fired off the DM to hide that I'd forgotten, but not even ten seconds later, a video call came in.
"..."
I picked up, and there was Lee Soo-ah, sitting in the practice room on a break today as well, glaring at me with wide eyes.
"You said you were waiting! You said you were waiting!"
"I am waiting. I never said I'd left yet."
"You forgot, didn't you?"
"...Not at all?"
"That's why I messaged you."
Lee Sua casually propped her phone up to the mirror and struck various poses like it was no big deal.
"What do you think? Pretty, right?"
"Stage outfit?"
"Opening song."
It was flashy.
An idol-level design that anyone would recognize, with fashion that accentuated her slim waist.
"Looks pretty. You normally practice in your stage clothes?"
It really was pretty.
Even without proper makeup, she stood out and shone brighter than usual.
"Who practices in stage clothes! I just... tried it on to show you, Kang Jik."
She mumbled shyly, twisting her body, then suddenly raised a finger like something had occurred to her.
"Oh, right. Check this out."
And with a proud flourish, she summoned embers.
⚡ SKILL ACTIVATED ⚡
Ember Wall
Dozens of embers gather to form a massive wall of flame!
Whoosh!
Dozens of embers gathered and merged into one massive wall.
"Whoa. Fucking. What the hell? That's insane."
A pure exclamation burst out that hadn't even come when I saw her stage outfit, and she beamed before pouting in mock complaint.
"What's with that genuine reaction? You didn't react like that to me. I'm jealous?"
"Guys always get more hyped over badass magic than what's coming out of a girl's mouth. So what's that? A skill?"
Of course, the stage outfit had me horny thinking about stripping it off, but since it wasn't right in front of me, my reaction was a bit muted.
But that flame wall made from embers? Pure awe.
That was possible?
The first time I saw the embers, I figured they could be used in all sorts of ways like making fireballs, and Lee Soo-ah had demonstrated just that.
In just a few days while prepping for the show.
"I named it Fire Wall. What do you think? It can block attacks like a shield."
"Mind-blowing."
It was a great idea.
It wasn't a real skill, so I'd need to test the power and if it worked as intended, but if she could use it like that, Lee Soo-ah could register as a hunter and raid dungeons right now.
"I don't know how to test it properly, so I'm not sure if it works as a shield."
"Head to the Hunter Association later and ask them to run some tests—they'll figure it out."
Beyond that, Lee Soo-ah showed off various ember variations she'd come up with in her spare time.
Every one was a solid idea.
Of course, for fire skills, there was plenty of reference material on NewTube or the Hunter Gallery.
But judging by the shapes, sizes, and number of embers, it wasn't just copying what she'd seen.
A ton of time and effort had gone into it.
"You messaged just to brag about this, huh?"
"Busted. But it's cool to see, right?"
I couldn't help laughing at Lee Soo-ah striking pretty poses without changing expression.
This must be experience.
Though she wasn't old enough to call it that, compared to the fresh 23-year-old Im Hyeji or Kang Hana, she definitely had a seasoned edge.
"See you tomorrow, then."
"Tomorrow you're wearing that?"
Of course, even seasoned Lee Soo-ah had moments when the mask slipped—usually when things veered into sexy territory.
She hesitated, conflicted for a second, but hilariously, she never backed out. That was her charm.
"...This one's hard to take off. After the opening, there's an outfit with a skirt—let's do that."
"You planned it out. Thought you'd bail last minute."
Honestly, I figured it wouldn't happen anyway.
It'd be fulfilling one of my fantasies if it did, but with tens of thousands packed into the concert, did we really have the luxury for mid-show sex?
Yet Lee Soo-ah didn't dismiss it as bullshit—she'd even carved out time between performances.
"This covers the ember costs, if not the full pyro mage fee. I seriously suffered for this..."
"Looking forward to it."
I'd been planning to go without expectations, but now they were sky-high.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The concert tickets from Lee Soo-ah were three VVIP seats right up front.
"These are really from Sua-unnie?"
"Together for a while."
"Holy shit... insane. Seeing Sua-unnie's concert live has been my lifelong dream."
"Don't lie. You've never even been."
"How could I if I couldn't snag tickets!!!"
I'd already given one to Im Hyeji and debated giving the last to Kang Hana, but needed a driver to the venue, so I handed it over.
"Holy shit!! Front row? We might make eye contact."
"Yeah, right. Dream on."
"Crazy... How the hell are you and Sua-unnie... I get it's your abilities, but how'd you even meet?"
I hadn't spilled the full story to Kang Hana about meeting Lee Soo-ah and getting her pregnant.
To Im Hyeji, it was just "...and she got pregnant."
Same with the other girls.
To Kang Hana, I skipped the pheromone-fueled fuck on the day she brought Im Hyeji and the rest; to Im Hyeji, I skipped the Kang Hana details, though she'd seen the semen feeding.
Anyway, she eyed me suspiciously but just kept repeating how unbelievable it was.
"Be ready by 3 tomorrow."
"Yes!! Big Brother!!! I'll prep and wait in the car with the heater on!!"
After sending Kang Hana off, I finally crashed on the bed and relaxed.
"Ha, fuck. No personal time."
Maybe after tomorrow things would calm down.
But no—my schedule was packed just thinking about it.
I gave up and checked the rewards from absorbing the SS-grade mana stone, which I still hadn't fully reviewed.
Almost done.
【Lv. 1】 【Survival Instinct】
＊ Detects life-threatening crises.
This was the reward from clearing the Hwaseong survival quest. I got it alongside re-impregnation, but the description was short, and I hadn't had time to check each one back then.
No need to verify—the description alone suggested it'd guide me in emergencies.
Still nothing special on a second look.
"Maybe level it up."
Sorting my abilities now was to spend the 1,000P from the SS-grade stone plus about 300P more.
Lots needed nearly 100P per level now, so prioritizing made sense.
"Level others first and think."
Survival was key.
But top priority? No.
I wasn't diving dangerous dungeons risking my life right now, and we had the Gates.
My top priority: Concentrated Semen.
Upgraded to level 3 for free from the SS-grade stone, I pumped another 400P into level 4.
⚔ STATUS ⚔
【Lv. 4】 【S】 【Concentrated Semen】
＊ Compresses ejaculatable semen charges into thicker semen.
＊ Freely concentrate up to 8 charges of SSS-grade semen.
＊ Over 8 charges of SSS-grade semen concentrates at double rate.
＊ Absorbing semen concentrated 8+ times has 5% chance of 'Overabsorption' effect. (Amplifies positive effects)
The 200P for level 3 was free from the stone, so 400P hurt, but I invested big.
Women's pregnancies and births were fine, but skill growth from 3-5 was painfully slow.
Accelerating that shortened time to level 5, paving the way ahead.
Level 5 was like the tutorial for skill growth.
Even just Resurrection at 5 was overwhelmingly strong.
6, 7, 8... up to 10.
With secondary growth mentioned, I needed to plan far ahead.
Concentrated Semen was essential.
Wanted to slam to 5, but 1,000P needed? Shelved it humbly.
"Tough. Try skill synthesis first."
With 920P left, I could spend anywhere, but depending on the build, priorities shifted—so I tackled the SS-grade stone's final reward: skill synthesis.
📜 NEW QUEST 📜
Quest 6: Skill Synthesis
📍 Description: You've completed primary growth (Lv. 5) on two compatible skills/abilities. Synthesize them to merge harmonious effects for further growth. Try combining two skills/abilities at primary growth.
🎁 Reward: 50P
The Pregnancy Support Program recommended synthesizing 'Dick Length UP!' and 'Dick Thickness UP!'.
