Chapter Title: S-Rank Hunter's Intuition (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Hmm, hmm.”
While exchanging messages with Choi Da-eun, I quickly scanned the Taming App.
Since the road ahead was long, I needed to check it periodically.
While eyeing the 'Achievements' and pondering any promising achievements—or plays—I opened the 'Female Bestiary' to check for changes in my females' 'erogenous zones', and also memorized the 'Shop' items in advance while tidying up the cart.
'I have to take down Lee Hae-wan.'
I couldn't let anyone steal the females I'd claimed as mine.
As a man, there's nothing more pathetic than that.
Even if the opponent was an S-Rank Hunter, I wasn't backing down.
I needed to find a surefire way to send that bastard packing.
If I planned to kill him, a weapon or method I could wield cleanly with my own skills; if I planned to spare him, a way to deliver social death so he'd never recover.
A mere D-Rank Hunter gunning for an S-Rank—it was ridiculous even to me.
A punchline that would've gotten huge laughs in a stand-up routine.
Easy enough that even a toddler just past their first birthday could've answered it.
That was the exact gap between current me and Lee Hae-wan.
It wouldn't be an easy road.
But that didn't mean I was giving up.
'...Just in case, I might be able to use Han So-ra.'
I checked the info on the second entry in the 'Female Bestiary': Han So-ra.
Logs of yesterday's and today's events were saved there.
♀ FEMALE BESTIARY ♀ 👤 Summon Target: Han So-ra 💖 Settlement: Sex Addiction, Continuous Orgasms, Complete Stress Relief, Curiosity 📈 Taming Progress: 65% Han So-ra's taming progress had reached a whopping 65%.
Up 1% yesterday to 65%.
It had passed the halfway mark and was charging toward 100%.
Just summoning her for sex had boosted the progress steadily.
Han So-ra seemed satisfied with the relationship too.
Perhaps because of that, her attitude had changed a lot.
I recalled what happened last night.
─ “What should I call you from now on?”
During pillow talk, Han So-ra asked me in a soft voice.
It was an unexpected question.
So unexpected that I, uncharacteristically, flustered in front of her.
At the time, I was sprawled out on the mattress.
─ “You won't tell me your name, right? The moment we run into each other outside, you'll die by my hand.”
It was chilling.
Just ten minutes earlier, she'd been desperate to devour me, sucking my balls dry and wringing them until they shriveled—and now this subtle warning was terrifying.
Still, I sorted out some nicknames.
For now, I had no plans to act like I knew her outside the Taming Room.
Candidate 1.
“You.” I like it.
Candidate 2.
“Mask guy.” That works too.
I told her to pick whichever appealed.
Han So-ra chose number 2.
─ “Mask guy... doesn't sound bad.”
Pleased with the nickname choice, she smiled contentedly as she gathered her underwear.
Fumbling a bit, she lifted her legs, slipped into her panties, and pulled them up.
The thin fabric clung tightly to her plump, juicy buttocks.
A lower body stunning enough to revive even a dead cock.
My mouth started watering.
'...She definitely meant it.'
If we meet, she'll kill me.
Which meant, don't meet, and she won't kill me.
Just stay out of my sight.
That was the subtext in Han So-ra's words.
We're having sex.
Not some casual bumping of flesh and mixing of sweat, but real, sticky, intense sex.
Without the 'Gene Erasure' function, she'd have gotten knocked up ages ago, no question...
Just as physical distance breeds emotional distance, physical closeness draws hearts together.
At least, that's how I see it.
The term "pussy-whipped" didn't come from nowhere.
Han So-ra vented her work stress with my dick.
From the settlement log, she'd reached the point where she couldn't live without it.
Like a beer after a long day—for Han So-ra, it was a mouthful of dick instead.
Plus, her 'erogenous zone' Portio, manipulated by the 'Female Bestiary', could only be felt with me.
A truth she wouldn't know until she tried another guy, but anyway.
It wasn't exaggeration to say she was hooked.
Not on Park Sun-woo, but on Mask guy's dick.
Though it started with rape, unlike with Choi Da-eun, we'd become something like sex partners.
That's why today's killing intent felt so off.
A disconnect.
Han So-ra treated Mask guy differently from Park Sun-woo—inside the Taming Room versus outside.
Polite and honorific with Park Sun-woo, but with Mask guy, it felt like handling a woman's love doll.
'...Wouldn't she have grown attached by now?'
No progress at all.
That was the creepy part.
Taming progress climbing, yet it felt like zero actual taming?
I couldn't fathom Han So-ra's personality.
Hard to understand.
Couldn't predict her behavior patterns, maybe.
'Gotta figure her out to tame her right.'
I had a decent read on Choi Da-eun by now.
Every time I pissed her off, I got hit—so to dodge beatings, know thy enemy.
Know yourself and your enemy, win every battle.
That's why I'd memorized her patterns while working in the 'Milky Way Guild'.
So, I approached affectionately.
[Choi Da-eun] ─ If you just woke up, you probably haven't eaten, right? I have lol ㅋㅋ
Two ㅋㅋ's meant it was a joke.
Not a full lie, but her admitting it was silly.
'Hasn't eaten, huh.'
Maybe hoping I'd ask if she'd eaten.
[Me] ─ Must be stuffed.
[Me] ─ Was gonna ask to meet up today for lunch together.
The unread 1 vanished.
Choi Da-eun was glued to her phone all day.
No reply came.
Self-sabotage. Dead end. Checkmate.
Looked like Choi Da-eun wanted lunch with me.
'So comfy with Da-eun like this, but not Han So-ra.'
Difficult, separate from any friendliness.
No real common ground.
We had a connection, but weren't actually close.
How could former F-Rank me be buddies with S-Rank Han So-ra?
'...Need to get personally close.'
Tit for tat.
Fight fire with fire.
To counter S-Rank Hunter Lee Hae-wan, keep S-Rank Hunter Han So-ra on standby.
'That's what they call a safe asset.'
In crude terms, a sure bet.
Ding-!
Reply from Choi Da-eun?
I opened the chat window expectantly.
[Han So-ra] ─ Hunter Sun-woo? Free today by any chance?
For a split second, it was intensely chilling.
A shiver ran down my spine, goosebumps everywhere.
Did she catch on?
But the actual message hit first.
[Han So-ra] ─ Do you know Lee Hae-wan by chance?
[Han So-ra] ─ The 'Haetae' Guild Master you saw before.
[Han So-ra] ─ He wants to meet you once, so I was wondering if it's okay to give him your contact.
'...Lee Hae-wan...'
Wants to meet me?
Worst case averted.
Nothing worse than Han So-ra finding out—this wasn't bad.
[Me] ─ I don't mind.
Still, why did Lee Hae-wan want to meet me?
Truly baffling.
And so out of nowhere.
[Han So-ra] ─ Okay, I'll pass Hunter Sun-woo's contact to Lee Hae-wan. Expect a call later.
[Me] ─ Got it.
[Han So-ra] ─ If Lee Hae-wan gets too pushy, let me know. I'll handle it.
[Me] ─ It's fine. ㅎㅎ….
Didn't seem like he'd be too overt.
Soon, a call from an unknown number.
Had to be Lee Hae-wan.
“Yes, Park Sun-woo speaking.”
─ “I'm Lee Hae-wan, Master of Korea's top guild 'Haetae', Korea's youngest S-Rank Hunter, the first to conquer the 47th floor of the 'Tower'.”
“……”
This bastard?
“I'm Park Sun-woo, the guy who ranked up from F to D-Rank, super rookie about to hit C-Rank, Dawn Assassin who wiped out the 'Milky Way Guild'.”
─ “……”
“……”
A brief silence.
Time ticked by on the phone screen.
About a minute—no voices exchanged.
─ “Hunter Park Sun-woo, got time?”
“Yes, I do.”
We silently wrote off the intros as never having happened.
Tacit agreement reached.
─ “Can you come to the 'Haetae' Guild office? Got something to say after meeting you, Hunter Park Sun-woo.”
“The great S-Rank Hunter Lee Hae-wan has words for me...?”
─ “Your growth trajectory really stands out.”
“……”
'Haetae' Guild had their eyes on me?
Not a bad thing.
I was in 'Ara and Friends' Guild, but hearing them out couldn't hurt.
“When should I drop by?”
─ “Anytime today works. Cleared my schedule for you, Hunter Park Sun-woo.”
“Wow...”
Head to 'Haetae' Guild for now.
And grab a meal with Han So-ra while I'm at it.
“So I can take your lunchtime call that way?”
─ “I'm the one inviting. Least I can do is buy lunch.”
“Sweet.”
Perfect—I was starving.
Let's see just how generous our Hunter Lee Hae-wan really is.
