"Then let's meet tomorrow. I have some team members I'm eager to introduce you to."
"Yes, understood."
My hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
Was it really just for something like this that he ruined our good mood and interrupted us?
The moment I hung up on Lee Hae-wan, Choi Da-eun came over and asked,
"...Lee Hae-wan? The S-Rank Hunter Lee Hae-wan?"
"Yeah, he suddenly wants me to enter the Tower starting tomorrow."
"What a fucking asshole. Goddamn it."
Choi Da-eun was genuinely furious.
She hated Lee Hae-wan for the same reason I did.
That made one more of his antis today.
I glanced down subtly.
Her flesh-toned breasts gleamed like ripe fruit, stirring an urge to touch them.
Not as Mask Trash, but as Park Sun-woo.
If I added the premise that Choi Da-eun had given permission, that would basically be sex.
I felt like I could cum without even putting it in.
I gripped Choi Da-eun's hand tightly.
"Wanna kiss right now?"
"...It wouldn't be so bad?"
Choi Da-eun looked up at me, her face flushed pink.
I wanted to pull her slender waist close and knead her ass right then and there.
"......"
We gazed into each other's eyes.
Earlier, tender emotions had welled up, but now the situation felt embarrassingly awkward.
Choi Da-eun seemed to be in a similar state as she whispered something.
"Should we kill Lee Hae-wan?"
"Can the two of us do it?"
"...I really want to kill him, that fucking bastard."
"Heh, scared 'cause he's an S-Rank Hunter?"
"Of course I'm scared, you moron. It's not like S-Rank is some random dog's name."
If the gap between C-Rank and F-Rank was like heaven and earth, the difference between S-Rank and C-Rank was like the sun and the earth—no exaggeration.
Choi Da-eun admitted it honestly.
No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't beat Lee Hae-wan. She swallowed her pride.
"Sigh, the mood for something naughty is totally gone. Can't be helped."
Choi Da-eun let out a sigh.
Then she smirked and punched my arm.
"Park Sun-woo, looks like you're moving up in the world. Heading into the Tower with Haetae Guild. Is this really the same F-Rank Hunter I knew?"
"Tell me about it."
From Choi Da-eun's perspective, the fact that a bug-like F-Rank Hunter like me had joined Haetae Guild was probably more shocking.
But to me, the fact that I had this strange relationship with Choi Da-eun, the Training Team 4 leader of Milky Way Guild, was far more amazing and joyful.
'Even if I told my past self...'
He probably wouldn't believe it.
"...A kiss feels kinda iffy, right?"
Choi Da-eun muttered that.
I could tell she wanted some kind of skinship but was forcibly holding back.
I nodded slowly, agreeing with her.
In this situation, it felt a bit ambiguous.
'Because we've given meaning to our first kiss, first makeout, first time.'
Choi Da-eun respected my view.
She understood and yielded to my desire to share our firsts in a good atmosphere—my values.
"Still, we need to film the video."
Choi Da-eun brought over her smartphone.
This was homework from Mask Trash. No matter the mood, it had to be done.
If I kept putting it off hoping for the perfect vibe, who knows what mess I'd end up in.
"Think you can hold out?"
"If it's too hard, we can squeeze it out a bunch and try again."
To my worried question, Choi Da-eun replied nonchalantly.
"Let's make it desensitized to stimulation first, then go slow and last 10 minutes. You can do it, right?"
"I'll try my best."
My 9cm dick twitched energetically.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
We successfully finished filming Choi Da-eun's blowjob video.
I could only last 10 minutes after making my small dick, which fits in one mouthful even when hard, half-flaccid and mushy.
'...Her eyes were downright murderous.'
Under the pretext of Mask Trash's orders, Choi Da-eun kept repeating she had no choice while sucking my dick relentlessly, refusing to let go.
As if venting all the pent-up resentment from not being able to kiss or fuck, she sucked it fiercely.
Because she'd wrung me dry all night, my condition was utter shit.
My legs shook unsteadily.
Today was the day to enter the Tower, but it felt like I'd hold up no matter what happened.
"Nice to meet you, Sun-woo Hunter."
I met the team members at Haetae Guild's office.
The raid party handpicked by Lee Hae-wan himself—personnel who would swiftly and precisely clear up to the 20th floor.
We entered the Tower together.
Having passed the 10th floor, we started from the 11th.
The 11th floor was a peaceful rural eastern-style village.
If the weather had been nice, it would've been perfect for a leisurely stroll.
But this village wasn't ordinary.
An eerie chill wrapped around our bodies, accompanied by strange sounds.
From a thatched house resembling an abandoned ruin, a jiangshi hopped out.
It was the regular 11th-floor monster, 'Blue-Clawed Jiangshi'.
"Our goal is to break through the 20th floor, but we'll also consider Sun-woo Hunter's growth. Sun-woo Hunter, please take the front line."
That was the order from Haetae raid party's leader, B-Rank Hunter Sung Jae-yoon.
I had no choice but to obey.
I gripped the shield Choi Da-eun had gifted me and stepped forward.
The 'Blue-Clawed Jiangshi' hopped forward with arms outstretched, blue ghostly energy leaking from its claws—that's what made it a Blue-Clawed Jiangshi.
I blocked its strike.
Clang-!
The 'Blue-Clawed Jiangshi' swung its arm.
It was clearly claws.
Yet the sound was like metal clashing against metal.
Clang-. Kang-!
Sparks flew spectacularly.
A heavy weight—I could feel the 'Blue-Clawed Jiangshi's power firsthand.
Single-digit floors versus double-digit floors.
The 11th was just the entrance to double-digits.
Even so, the difference felt enormous.
Now I understood why F-Rank and D-Rank Hunters obsessed over the 10th floor, why they stuck to lower floors right after clearing it.
'...I can't stop here.'
I'm different from them.
D-Rank is just a stepping stone. Based on the 「Taming App」, I'll climb to S-Rank.
"Hraaah!"
I swung the shield with all my might.
The moment the 'Blue-Clawed Jiangshi' swung down with force, I shoved it back with everything I had.
It lost its balance and fell comically.
The Haetae Guild raid team members stared at me with wide eyes, surprised by my desperate prowess.
"Sun-woo Hunter, your level seems higher than expected."
"I remember the guild measurement was under 20. Does he have pretty good growth stats?"
They murmured among themselves.
I wiped the sweat dripping from my forehead with my arm.
My Strength had long surpassed 40.
I couldn't wield sword aura because my Mana was pathetic, but my physical stats weren't D-Rank level.
Converted to level, it was higher than the C-Rank average of 120.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ Name: Park Sun-woo Level: 16 Job: None ⚡ Strength: 43 💨 Agility: 35 ✨ Magic Power: 8 💪 Stamina: 50 Skills: Tough Skin Lv.5 / Shield Proficiency Lv.3 / Unicorn's Blessing Lv.2 / Indestructible Lv.1 / Sea's Blessing Lv.1 Roughly calculated, I was at a level comparable to C-Rank.
'I've been running the app hard while devouring Da-eun and So-ra.'
I'd achieved accomplishments and received taming rewards.
My stats and skill levels had grown day by day.
'Tough Skin' and 'Shield Proficiency' were incomparable to the start.
[Sea's Blessing Lv.1]
─ A blessing bestowed upon merfolk warriors heading to battle.
─ Enables 'Gill Breathing' and 'Fin Swimming' underwater.
─ 'Wrath of the Great Ocean' usable.
Plus, I'd gained a skill from killing the 10th-floor boss monster, the 'Wounded Merfolk Warrior'.
I hadn't used it properly yet.
'The more skills, the better.'
The old Park Sun-woo who struggled on lower floors was gone.
The 「Taming App」 had killed him off.
I was the reborn New Park Sun-woo.
A man who would charge from the 11th to the 20th floor in one go.
"The 11th floor's a breeze."
I declared confidently and took the lead.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Lee Hae-wan sat deep in thought at the Haetae Guild office.
How to finish off Park Sun-woo in a way that would make rumors fly about what a great job he'd done—he lost track of time agonizing over it.
'...A-Rank is too much.'
Han So-ra's side might raise objections.
They could deny it, saying how could that happen with an A-Rank there, refusing to accept Park Sun-woo's death.
To avoid backlash, he needed to send him off cleanly.
Lee Hae-wan planned to disguise Park Sun-woo's death as a flawless accident.
'Just kill him on the 20th floor.'
Quick and decisive—he had to drag Park Sun-woo to the 20th floor.
At the same time, Haetae Guild challenges the 50th floor.
Public attention would focus on Haetae Guild's S-Rank Hunter Lee Hae-wan, and the mere D-Rank bug Park Sun-woo would die thoroughly ignored.
Lee Hae-wan prepared to conquer the 48th floor while awaiting that moment.
Tomorrow, South Korea's ceiling would rise even higher.
