"The King of Machon is watching you."
"The Lord of the Heavens is watching you."
"The Golden Collector is watching you."
'To think a big shot like the Lord of the Heavens is watching me.'
There might be even more divine seats hiding their presence and observing you.
There's no need to worry about them right now. Being merely observed means they're only slightly intrigued by you.
Once their interest wanes, the divine seats will naturally look away and leave on their own.
I have no intention of fawning over them just to keep their gaze on me.
'More importantly, this woman.'
The woman who stepped forward from the group. She gives off the vibe of their leader. You can feel everyone else respects her.
'She's more beautiful than Yoo Seo-hee.'
She's wearing the black leather outfit that clings to the body, typical for hunters, with a scabbard at her waist. Given her attire and sword, she's definitely a hunter.
She's tall for a woman. Even without heels, she looks about 175cm. Her sleek black hair falls down to her thighs. It's incredibly long.
Her long legs give her exceptional proportions, and her abs are flawless. Being tall, her breasts are large too. They're tightly bound by the black leather, but they can't fool my eyes.
'Bigger than Yoo Seo-hee's. That has to be an F-cup at least.'
Her pale face is cold. Her eyes are sharp, her gaze chilly. Her lips are firmly pressed together. Just her face alone makes her seem incredibly haughty.
She reminds me of Han Ha-rin, my first love. Because of that, I got a little hard.
In short, she was my type.
'I'll definitely fuck her. No matter what it takes.'
I swore to myself over and over in my mind.
"Three of you? You somehow managed to survive."
The tall woman sizes us up. It's casual speech, but she's pretty, so it's fine. And her manner of speaking can be corrected later.
I lightly touched the Hwaryeonbi Sword at my waist, drawing it slightly from the scabbard to show the blade.
"Believe it or not, I was a hunter on Earth. Hunting monsters around here was no problem for me."
"...I see. You don't look like you need help, and you seem to be doing fine. Go back. This is our territory, and we don't welcome outsiders."
Her voice is thick with wariness.
I quickly scanned their group. Including the woman, there are 21 in total. Wiping them out would net me 63,000 AP.
'Offering such an easy mission? King of Machon, this bastard must have a ton of AP.'
It's tempting.
My current stats are more than double theirs. I can use mana and Playful Life app skills. Massacring them would be simple.
Even without killing the woman, wiping out the rest gets me 63,000 AP.
'This is what they call a freebie mission.'
But just killing them all and raping her would be no fun. I can do that anytime.
I strongly focused on the Atlantis system in my mind.
'I accept the mission. But change the time limit to two days.'
"What are you standing there for?"
She frowned, her hand moving to the sword at her waist.
I raised both hands to show I had no intention of fighting.
"I was lost in thought for a moment. I have no intention of fighting you all. I couldn't win numerically anyway."
I looked around. They seemed to be living decently enough, but they all looked a bit gaunt.
"We've been exhausted surviving as just three. We'd love to join you... but is that possible?"
"Please. It's been too hard for the three of us."
Yoo Seo-hee chimed in appropriately.
"We're begging you."
I bowed my head, putting on a pitiful act.
She examined not just me, but Yoo Seo-hee and Yoo In-ha as well. Her furrowed expression didn't soften.
"You don't look that exhausted. You all seem pretty healthy."
Compared to them, our group looked in much better shape.
Because I'd provided shampoo, soap, wet wipes, clothes, and other necessities. I didn't want to hold Yoo Seo-hee while she was dirty from not washing properly. For the record, Yoo Seo-hee was wearing office attire. No particular reason. It was what she had on at first, and it suited her well.
"Ah. We haven't gone hungry much. My unique trait is S-rank Equivalent Exchange."
"Equivalent Exchange?"
"I can use AP to get items. For example..."
I glanced at Yoo In-ha.
Yoo In-ha had a large backpack on his back. In his right hand, he carried a tent bag. He was in charge of chores and luggage.
I took Yoo In-ha's backpack and unzipped it. It was filled with instant noodles, snacks, and junk food. Things easily available on Earth, but priceless here.
The atmosphere around us shifted.
Those who had been rejecting and wary of us began inching closer. Their faces looked entranced.
"Ra-ramen!"
"Cola and snacks too!"
"Ramen! I thought I'd never eat it again..."
Even the woman in front of me stared into the bag in surprise. But she quickly snapped out of it and warned the others.
"Stop! Don't come closer."
She had perfect control as the group's leader. You could see some feared her.
"...You can exchange AP for stuff like this?"
"Yes. Clothes too. Shampoo, tissues, toothbrushes—basic necessities, of course. But they're a bit pricey. One pack of ramen costs 10 AP."
I priced it high from the start to avoid nuisances asking for favors. Since AP transfer is impossible in the tutorial, they couldn't demand anything rashly.
"I'll give you all the food in this backpack. In exchange, accept us as comrades."
"..."
She seemed to be pondering.
It was bravado.
I'd seen her swallow hard at the sight of the ramen in the bag. Plus, as leader, she had to consider her followers' reactions. They were already half-beguiled by our food.
"Fine. We'll accept you as comrades. But you'll have to actively use your ability."
"Thank you. But I'm short on AP. I only have exactly 1,000 AP. I need it for entry, so I can't spend it."
"We'll help you gather AP."
"In that case... I have no reason to refuse."
I smiled. Once I gauge the situation, I can kill everyone except the woman in front of me. Poisoning the food is one way to wipe them out.
I extended my right hand to her for a handshake.
"I'm Sung Yu-jin. F-rank hunter on Earth. Nice to meet you."
She took my hand.
"Joo Seo-hyun. I was an F-rank hunter too. Not for long, though... Nice to meet you."
Joo Seo-hyun.
My eyes widened at the name.
It was one of the heroines from the original story. No illustrations in the novel, so I hadn't recognized her immediately.
I looked at her again. Tall stature, huge breasts, black hair down to her thighs.
'It's really Joo Seo-hyun.'
I hid my surging joy and shook her hand.
Joo Seo-hyun.
One of Atlantis's strongest, called the Sword Emperor. Not now, but later.
Her unique trait matches her nickname: Sword Emperor (S). It buffs swordsmanship, enhances sword abilities, allows learning any sword-related skill without limits—a cheat trait for all things sword-related.
For reference, her class, unique trait, and nickname were all Sword Emperor.
"Sorry, but can you distribute the items you have to everyone right now? We'll repay this debt."
"Of course. We're comrades now, aren't we? Haha."
After that, we ate lunch and went hunting for Hader.
I didn't actively participate in combat. No need. They were handling the Hader without issue. They used their numerical advantage and timed their unique traits well.
'Someone with a scouting-specialized unique trait makes hunting really efficient.'
Apparently, there were some sacrifices at first. But from the third day, they got used to it with zero casualties.
At the center was Joo Seo-hyun. She could hunt Hader solo and led the group masterfully.
They subdued the Hader skillfully and left the finishing blow to me. To funnel AP my way. They'd already gathered 1,000 AP long ago.
'Catching over 100 a day, of course AP adds up.'
Yoo Seo-hee and Yoo In-ha also hit 1,000 AP this time. They had about 800 already, so they could've reached it today without help.
As the sun began to set, Joo Seo-hyun decisively ordered a return.
"Head back. Hunting monsters at night is dangerous."
No objections.
Back at the base below the cliff, we prepared dinner. Menu: budae jjigae. I generously shared ingredients. Thought about poisoning but held off. Someone might have a detoxification trait, and Joo Seo-hyun could get poisoned.
Night.
Around midnight.
I'm sitting against the wall in a corner of the cliff. A tent nearby provides good cover. Yoo Seo-hee is asleep next to me. She was sucking me off until just now. Yoo In-ha is sleeping inside the tent.
Two reasons I'm not sleeping in the tent.
One: guests. Night visitors come asking for my items. Cup ramen, snacks, razors, water bottles, etc.
I refused using Joo Seo-hyun as an excuse. When I asked if they got her permission, they'd make excuses and leave. Some got angry impudently, but flashing my sword made them scamper. They'd seen a bit of my skill during the day.
'No more night visitors coming... Maybe I should go inside and sleep.'
Thud thud.
Someone approached.
A short-haired woman in sneakers, jeans, and a white shirt. College student vibe, quite attractive. Small chest is the downside. She's carrying a bag.
I know her name. We had a brief chat at dinner.
"Ms. Yoon Young-mi. What brings you here so late? Do you need something from me?"
"I want something."
"Something you want?"
"Who knows what'll happen... Ramen or canned goods for emergencies. Wet wipes or pads would be nice too."
"Are you on your period right now by any chance?"
"No. Better to prepare ahead."
"I understand. But I can't do it on my own. My AP came from everyone's help. So I need Joo Seo-hyun's permission. Did you get it?"
"Couldn't even talk to her. She wouldn't approve anyway."
"Then I can't give any."
I'm no pushover, and I wasn't about to hand stuff out just because a pretty girl asks.
"I'll suck you off once. How about it?"
"...What?"
I blinked. Did I hear wrong?
"I'll blow your dick once."
