While waiting for a taxi in front of the shop, Ha Seung-hee shook off my arm from her shoulder.
"Why'd you put your arm there?"
"I did it absentmindedly. Did it bother you?"
"..."
She fell silent for a moment. I was pretty surprised. Given Ha Seung-hee's usual personality, I'd have expected a sharp comeback.
"...It didn't bother me."
Lie.
No way it didn't bother her when I suddenly draped my arm over her shoulder.
There was only one reason she was acting so meek and considerate like this. She coveted the Hevil’s Accelerator I had. Since we hadn't signed a formal contract yet, she was feeling me out.
'In other words, I'm the one calling the shots until the contract's signed. And even after, she won't be able to brush me off like before.'
We hopped in the taxi.
We headed to the designated spot. It was a neighborhood on Jeju Island where hardly anyone came or went.
We didn't exchange a word in the taxi. No point chattering away and risking the driver overhearing. From our perspective, we had to avoid that at all costs.
We got out, and Ha Seung-hee glanced at her smartphone before walking into the dense trees. I quietly trailed behind her.
There was a dungeon in the woods.
"It's the Osaek Snake, an E-rank open dungeon. No hunters have gone in for the past ten days. No one else will show up here."
Osaek Snake.
Tricky to hunt despite being E-rank monsters, and they dropped few magic stones. Their poison wasn't lethal, but it wasn't valuable either. Hunters saw no efficiency in farming them. And with the dungeon out in the boonies like this, they preferred F-rank spots closer to the city.
"I don't have much Hevil’s Accelerator left."
"You still have at least three bottles, right?"
"Yeah, about that much."
Truth was, I had over two thousand. I'd stocked up as much as possible from the [Mr. S] world.
"I admit it's an incredible item. But there's not enough info. I want to see its limits with my own eyes."
"I get it. But you sure you're okay? You only just hit E-rank."
"I'm fine. My rank's low because I don't hunt much. My bodyguards say my skills are D-rank level. And I've got a C-rank senior here—what's there to worry about?"
"Fair enough. But a known dungeon should have guards. How'd you swing it?"
"Bribed them. No one's coming till morning."
She said it matter-of-factly. All she'd done was fiddle with her phone. As expected from Sejin Group's third generation—money and no small amount of pull.
We entered the dungeon. Unlike the pitch-black night outside, it was bright as day inside, thick with vegetation. The perfect hideout for Osaek Snakes.
"What're we doing?"
"I want to know its limits. Like, does it only work on plain Earth plants? Or dungeon specials too?"
"Just so you know upfront—no special effects for brewing spirit elixirs or anything."
Like those qi-infused herbs from wuxia novels.
The Hevil’s Accelerator just sped up growth—it didn't infuse spiritual energy into herbs.
"I know."
Ha Seung-hee scanned the area and yanked up a random herb growing on the ground.
"...You know much about dungeon herbs?"
"Just a few."
In her hand was a blue-leaved herb.
Fountain Flower.
Named for how plucking the flower head made water spray out like a fountain. It only grew in dungeons. You drank the spraying water. The effect quenched thirst and rehydrated you faster than any sports drink.
They went for about 3,000 won a stalk. Common in dungeons, so cheap. Nothing groundbreaking about the effect.
Ha Seung-hee plucked the flower. Water jetted out from the stem.
"...What're you gonna do with that?"
"It's dead now. Can the accelerator revive a dead flower?"
"Doubt it. It's an accelerator, not a reviver."
"Worth a shot."
She stuck the stem in the dirt. I dripped a drop of Hevil’s Accelerator on top. The clear droplet slid down the stem to the soil.
Ten seconds passed.
Nothing happened.
"Yeah, no dice."
"Figures. Well then..."
Ha Seung-hee scattered eight petals on the ground. The instant they touched down, they split open—roots and sprouts emerging, growing rapidly. In less than ten seconds, eight Fountain Flowers stood tall.
"Works even if you sprinkle on the ground first."
She snapped off one, checked it, then tore off and scattered its petals.
It took less than a minute to form a cluster of Fountain Flowers around us.
A smile crept onto Ha Seung-hee's lips.
"The effect... it's good. Really good."
It had potent effects to begin with, but the version I'd used—enhanced via Gwangmyeong Victory Path—was even stronger.
"Oh, what about that flowerpot, though? If someone tosses seeds in..."
"No worries. That soil's nutrient-poor. The accelerator isn't all-powerful. It speeds growth but drains the earth's vitality in a flash."
"That's impressive enough."
Her eyes sparkled. I could practically hear the gears turning in her head as she crossed her arms.
"That do it? Let's head back."
"No. Not enough. Different plants might react variably—might as well check now."
"It's getting late. You cool with that?"
"Doesn't matter."
She and I wandered the dungeon, testing the accelerator on various plants. Differences were clear. Some herbs bloomed hundreds from one drop; others barely hit twenty.
"Last thing—I'm curious what happens if I dump half a bottle all at once."
I grinned. Knew she'd go there. I spread my senses. Felt several Osaek Snakes nearby. She hadn't noticed yet—too excited, and her mana unawakened.
"Sure? I've got more—one bottle's no big deal."
I poured it on lavishly.
Weeds, flowers, trees erupted from the ground, shaking the earth as they shot up. She and I backed off to keep our footing.
'Now.'
I flung killing intent at the hidden Osaek Snakes. Goading their monstrous instincts, they lunged at us.
The thick new plant growth was a hassle, but I'd prepared—and my senses pinpointed their positions.
"Kyaaack?!"
I drew the Flame Lotus Blade, unleashing sword qi to cleave three camouflaged Osaek Snakes at once—their chameleon-like hides no match. More fell with every swing.
"Seung-hee! You okay?!"
I rushed to her, sprawled in the foliage. Around her: deep gashes in the dirt, mangled Osaek Snake corpses. And more snakes eyeing her helpless form.
'Plan's on track. Heh.'
I kept a grave face, scooped her up, and bolted from the spot.
In a quiet clearing, I laid her down.
"Seung-hee!"
No response. She didn't move. Blood seeped from wounds all over—at least eight Osaek Snake bites.
Osaek Snake paralysis venom wasn't much threat to hunters. One bite just meant ten minutes of tingling. But repeated bites? Different story.
'Her ability isn't physical enhancement. Her body's weaker than most hunters', so lower resistance too.'
I peered into her eyes. Once icy and bold, now brimming with fear of death.
I'd orchestrated this, but killing her was never the plan. If things went south, I'd pull an antidote from my inventory. But she just seemed paralyzed—no real danger.
'She doesn't know that.'
I stayed grim. The venom only locked movement—her senses were fine.
"Seung-hee. The venom's not lethal, but you got bit way too many times. Even meds turn toxic in excess—and paralysis venom's no exception. If it hits your heart... Hold on. I'm starting emergency treatment."
No reply. She couldn't respond.
I activated Sexual Sensitivity Boost first, then gripped her wrist. Rolled up her blood-soaked sleeve. Lips straight to the fang marks. Her soft, supple skin brushed my lips. I sucked hard, drawing out venom and blood.
Rinsed my mouth with Fountain Flower water, then worked the other wounds.
I grinned where she couldn't see. Bites marked her intimate spots too.
Lucky break. Proper gear would've prevented this.
"Seung-hee. No funny business. This is all to save you."
I stripped her clothes off without pause.
Even without sex, undressing a virgin always got my heart racing.
Unhooked her fancy white bra with its intricate patterns. Pale skin revealed pretty pink nipples. Areolas perfectly sized—not too big, not too small.
Lips to the bite on her left breast.
Smooch. Suck. Suck.
Sucking her breast, I glanced up at her face. Paralysis kept her expression blank. But her face burned crimson, like it might explode any second.
Venom cleared from her chest, I moved to her abdomen.
'Right under the breast. Perfect.'
Her soft breast and stiffened pink nipple grazed my face. I pretended total focus on the venom.
'Next...'
Lower body.
Skipped the pants—started at her left foot. Low heels, but not tough enough to block snake fangs.
Slipped off the shoe. Washed pooled blood with water.
'Bite barely misses the toes. Her feet? Happy to suck 'em.'
Any hesitation would undermine my excuse. Couldn't risk that.
I sucked her foot and calf.
Then her inner thigh.
"Blood's coming from your inner thigh. Gotta take off the pants."
No second thoughts—I yanked them off. Spread her legs and dove into her inner thigh. Her white panties were unavoidable.
The center was soaked through. Pussy outline visible through the fabric, dark pubes shadowing it. A sweet-tangy scent wafted—pussy aroma that drove men wild, better than any luxury perfume.
Sucking thigh venom, my mind fixated on Ha Seung-hee's pussy.
Just stare at that dripping, lewd-scented cunt? No way I could hold back.
'But there's... a way.'
I extended my senses, snagged a passing ant. Sucked her thigh hard while dropping the ant onto her panties. It scurried frantically across the fabric.
"Gasp! Bug?! Seung-hee! There's a bug in your panties!! Could be a dangerous dungeon critter! Hold on—removing it now!"
I peeled off her sticky, drenched panties. Transparent love juices coated them. Using Moment, I smeared the ant onto a section as I went.
The ant thrashed, trapped in the sticky fluids on her white panties.
"See, Seung-hee. The bug's right here.... Uh..."
