Chapter 5: I'll Teach You Self-Defense Techniques
My heart was pounding so hard that my hands were shaking.
The member management program, which had only added one weird tab until just moments ago, had completely transformed into something else. The program name itself had changed to [Joo Seong-hyeon's Happy Dojang Raising], and everything else had been deleted, replaced by four new tabs.
[Dojang Management]
[Member Management]
[Quest Management]
[Point Shop]
It was simpler than I'd expected. Thank goodness. If it had been complicated, it would've been tough with my brain. I set aside the happy memories from today for now. First things first: figure out the system.
[Dojang Management]
o Dojang Lv. 1 (Member Count: 0)
- Dojang
- Locker Room (Locked)
- Bathroom (Locked)
- Shower Room (Locked)
- ??? (Locked)
The content was simple as could be. It was obvious that as the dojang level went up, the locked facilities below would unlock one by one... But why were they locked? It couldn't be that members couldn't use them until unlocked, right?
With a small question lingering, I clicked the screen once more, and just like before, a help window popped up.
"This is the current dojang level and list of unlockable locations for Joo Seong-hyeon."
"To raise the dojang level, increase the number of members and boost their training satisfaction."
"Trial members do not count toward the member total."
"Higher dojang levels unlock locations beyond the dojang itself."
"In unlocked locations, Dojang Master Joo Seong-hyeon can freely enter 'no matter what the members are doing,' and members will not question it."
"In unlocked locations, Dojang Master Joo Seong-hyeon can touch 'permitted touch areas,' and members will accept it as natural if he provides a 'valid reason.'"
"'???' opens upon meeting specific conditions."
"Okay. Got it."
Basically, get more members and teach them well, and the level rises naturally. And the perks from unlocking locations were amazing. Whether members like Jeong Ye-sol were changing clothes, using the bathroom, or showering, I could watch or touch them freely? Just throw in a little excuse?
Fuck, fuck...!
Whew... Calm down, dick.
Next up.
[Member Management]
o Members
o Trial Members
- Jeong Ye-sol
Name: Jeong Ye-sol
Age: 20
Training Satisfaction: Level 0 [80 / 100]
Permitted Touch Areas:
Sexual Sensitivity: 12
Physical Arousal: 21
"Displays essential info for trial and official members."
"Each level up in training satisfaction unlocks one permitted touch area."
"Training satisfaction rises based on how satisfied members are with 'everything that happens in the dojang.' This updates in real-time, even when members are outside the dojang."
"Sexual sensitivity increases every time Dojang Master Joo Seong-hyeon arouses a member sexually. Max is 100; higher values make them more sensitive to his touch. Effects apply outside the dojang too."
"Physical arousal shows current sexual excitement level. It rises from sexual stimulation to the body and falls naturally without stimulation or after release."
I'd already figured this part out, but yeah, this system and quests were 100% about teaching women under the guise of lessons to do lewd stuff. Good or bad? Obviously good. The kids' dojang was a lost cause anyway, and from now on, it'd transform into a dojang for me.
[Quest Management]
o Quests (1) - New!
o Completed Quests & Evaluations (2)
"Huh? New quest?"
"You're going to teach all sorts of things to your female members from now on, but sticking with 'Hapkido Dojang' is kinda lame, right? Time for a renewal!"
(!) [Dojang Renewal]
- Replace signboard
- Clear out kids' stuff
- Update homepage and flyers
Reward: 20 Dojang Points
10 Million Won Dojang Support Funds
"Knew it, damn it!!"
This was exactly the reward I'd been hoping for—a vote of confidence. Not just the tutorial; I'd keep getting cash from future quests too. Come to think of it, how did the 5 million won tutorial reward come through? Direct deposit?
Just in case, I checked my smartphone right away.
[Seoul Bank: 5,000,000 KRW deposited to Joo Seong-hyeon...]
The money was already there. Amazing. Depositor: [Happy Dojang] Curiosity spiked for a second, but I didn't dig deeper. No point investigating; nothing would come of it. What mattered was that there was a clear entity shoveling money straight to me.
"Various quests and rewards based on progress in Joo Seong-hyeon's dojang raising."
"Spend dojang points in the shop on items or upgrades."
"Dojang support funds deposit directly to Joo Seong-hyeon's account upon quest completion. No taxes to worry about—use as needed."
"Sudden Quests may appear occasionally."
"Pay attention."
"Failing a 'Sudden Quest' in the full version ends the 'Joo Seong-hyeon's Happy Dojang Raising' system immediately."
"Clear Sudden Quests no matter what."
Nice? Taxes hadn't even crossed my mind, but yeah, that was huge. Handling it automatically was great, but the follow-up was scary.
"Failing a Sudden Quest ends the system... Can't let that happen."
The one I'd gotten earlier was so short it left me wanting more. But who knows what future ones would be, so I had to stay on edge. And... quest evaluations? They even grade it. But didn't I do fine?
[Quest Evaluations]
o Tutorial Quest
"Good!! The perfect trial member for Joo Seong-hyeon's Happy Dojang, with spot-on training! Great chemistry by chance! 100 points!"
Bonus Reward: 10 Dojang Points
o Sudden Quest
"Bad!! Can't do much with a solo virgin loser. Put it in your mouth and you only half-ass it? Still, you did it, so 50 points."
Bonus Reward: None
"What? What did I do wrong?"
The harsh critique on the Sudden Quest eval threw me off. I did exactly what it said—what's the issue? "Half-assed"? What the hell? I groped the shit out of a woman's tits over her clothes, first time meeting her...
"...Ah."
No way... Over the clothes wasn't enough? For real? That area unlock was at that level? Had to slip my hand inside and grope bare tit?
Yeah! That's why the completion text started with a sigh, "Sigh..."!
"That... wow... no... whew... just tell me upfront... fuck..."
A groan escaped. I genuinely regretted it, felt so bummed. It felt that good over clothes—what if it'd been over bra, bare skin? How much better? Regret and frustration churned in my gut.
Jeong Ye-sol's cool yet pretty face, her slender body, those full tits even visible over clothes. That soft texture. It shimmered before my eyes, within grasp of my hands.
"From next time... yeah, next time, do better..."
It stung, but at least it showed me my limits. I consoled myself like that and closed the window.
Last tab: Point Shop. Probably buy stuff with dojang points. Wonder what's there.
[Point Shop] - Dojang Points: 60
o For Sale
- Free Trial Invitation (N, 5 uses) - 10p
- Internet Ad Exposure (N) - 100p
- Exercise Equipment - 50p
- ???
- ???
- ???
- ???
"Shop to buy various items with dojang points."
"Earn points through quests and other dojang raising activities."
"Reach certain dojang levels to expand the shop list and upgrade item grades."
"Free Trial Invitation (Normal) success rate: 10%. 5 uses per purchase. Direct invitation by Dojang Master Joo Seong-hyeon consumes a use and applies instantly."
"7-day cooldown per target."
"Internet Ad Exposure (Normal) success rate: 50%. Set 'conditions' for viewers (e.g., age, appearance). Ads shown online to matches; success brings them to the dojang."
"Ad duration: one week. Expires = fail."
"Post-visit registration depends on Dojang Master Joo Seong-hyeon's skills."
"Exercise Equipment ships to dojang on purchase. Type random. Using purchased gear massively boosts effects."
"Real shop, huh."
I nodded as I looked it over. Pretty solid. No cash cost—just use accumulated dojang points. But Free Trial Invitation seems like it'd make them come directly like today... 10 points for five shots? Usable enough. No guarantee of someone as hot as Jeong Ye-sol, though. And 10% success. That's with system help; without it, solo-pitching "Wanna learn self-defense? Diet PT?" to women would be 0%. Perfect for spotting a cute girl on the street and trying once.
Still, top priority: save for Internet Ad. Gotta grind points for that first. No legwork needed, saves time, and best part—set conditions for who sees it. Huge merit. 50% success? Very high.
Exercise Equipment...
"Wanna try this myself."
If it boosted workout effects like Jeong Ye-sol's learning speed, it'd be insane. Intriguing as a martial artist, but member count came first. Had to push it down the list.
Anyway. A few more details nagged, but I had the gist.
"...Heh, heuk..."
Laughter bubbled up involuntarily. Haven't felt my heart race with excitement like this since opening the dojang. After that, dojang management was tougher than expected, the world's harshness stricter than imagined... One hell of a year.
But not anymore.
"First up: remodel the dojang."
No longer a Hapkido dojang. Kids? No thanks. Let them play at the Taekwondo place. From now on... A place for more legal(?) contact with members than Hapkido. Base it on self-defense and fitness; teach Hapkido or Taekwondo if wanted. Don't know much, but diet PT too. Reborn as a mixed gym.
For my happiness. As Grandfather wanted, as that homeless old man and I talked about yesterday.
Soon as I finished checking the system, I spent the whole day cleaning the dojang. Threw out all unused kids' doboks, ordered plenty of women's doboks since we barely had any. Peeled off the 'Hapkido' stickers from windows, deep-cleaned dojang, locker room, bathroom, shower room. Pondered new designs for the crude signboard and flyers.
After that busy day. That evening. Like with the Sudden Quest, a hologram window popped up suddenly before my eyes.
Jeong Ye-sol's training satisfaction has reached Level 1.
"Suddenly? Oh right, real-time updates. Something finally clicked late?"
Reward: 10 Dojang Points acquired.
One permitted touch area unlocked randomly.
"Whoa, not guaranteed breasts first? It's random? Wait, then maybe... boobs..."
[Breasts] unlocked.
"Jackpot."
No, not jackpot—perfect. Dunno why her satisfaction spiked now, but... does this mean she'll come back? That woman as an official member? With those insanely soft tits, that handful filling my palm, mine to grope freely?
For real?
