However, my face remained serious.
‘This isn’t something that only applies to Illuster.’
The Sphere of Life.
The item I planned to obtain in the Vampire Detective world.
If a vampire consumes it, they turn human. If a human consumes it, they stop aging, and their physical abilities surge to superhuman levels. It even grants superior physical prowess compared to ordinary vampires.
And for a vampire progenitor, it amplifies the power of their superhuman abilities. It’s nothing short of an elixir.
‘Honestly, at first, I was blinded by the no-aging part.’
No aging means an endless lifespan… no dying of old age. In fact, in the Vampire Detective world, there’s a human who ate the Sphere of Life and has lived for over three hundred years.
‘Reduced effect in other worlds? How much reduced?’
Anxiety bubbled up.
Even if I ate the Sphere of Life, it might not deliver the results I expected. But I couldn’t back out now. Vampire Detective was already in its endgame. Quitting here would be too wasteful.
‘…For now. Let’s check how much Illuster’s effect has dropped.’
The next day.
I confirmed that Illuster’s effect had plummeted by over 90%. I wanted to die.
Originally, a fully charged Illuster allowed one hour of stealth. Even if completely depleted, it recharged to full in just six hours.
But in reality, the stealth lasted a mere five minutes. And the recharge time had ballooned fourfold to twenty-four hours.
“…Heh.”
I let out a dry chuckle and decided not to dwell on it. The ability was weakened, but I was grateful it still worked in other worlds.
‘…Whatever. Who cares. Let’s have fun! To the women’s bath!’
???
Upon arriving in the Vampire Detective world, I first scouted for the perfect women’s bath.
‘A neighborhood bathhouse would just have ajummas. Need a spot packed with young, pretty girls…. Right, one of those trendy places.’
The spot I chose was a massive spa facility.
It had the latest amenities and had even been featured on TV lately, drawing crowds of young people.
‘Gonna milk these five minutes for all they’re worth.’
In the restroom, as I activated Illuster to turn invisible, I noticed something strange.
The stealth duration wasn’t five minutes—it was eight.
‘No way… Does the duration vary by world?’
It was a pretty solid guess. A few more tests would confirm it.
‘…Crap! No time to waste! Let’s move!’
I slipped out of the restroom and headed straight for the women’s changing room, moving carefully. Using Ghost Step, I erased my footprints and presence as much as possible.
‘Ooh.’
Stepping into the changing room, I let out a deep sigh of admiration in my mind. Thanks to its TV fame, there were plenty of young women—stripping down and baring their naked bodies.
Different faces. Different pussies. Different breasts.
My little buddy started stretching and rising. Note: I was buck naked. If no one can see me, clothes are optional.
Gripping my dick with one hand, I slowly stroked it as I headed toward the bath area.
‘…Damn. Six minutes left? Gotta save thirty seconds for escape. Exactly five-thirty.’
I swallowed hard, then froze. There was a woman drying off with a towel. Plump breasts, firm ass, innocent face. Right up my alley.
‘Whoa. Model material. Total model.’
I drifted toward her like a moth to flame. She’d bent over slightly to dry her legs, ass thrust out. My rock-hard dick bumped right against her tightly clenched pussy.
“Huh?”
She turned around. I hastily backed off. Frowning, she scanned the area but couldn’t spot invisible me.
She resumed drying her wet body.
Staring at that ass, I couldn’t resist. I grabbed her hips and shoved my dick inside her pussy—then yanked it out and retreated.
“Aaaah?!”
She screamed and toppled forward. The other women stared at her in confusion.
“Miss? You okay?”
An ajumma asked her.
“J-just now, behind me…!”
She whipped around. Nothing there. She clutched her lower abdomen—she’d felt my dick go in.
“No one’s there. You hurt?”
“N-no, I’m fine. Must’ve imagined it.”
She stood up, her face pale with fear, and hurriedly dried off before changing clothes.
‘Dick jab and dash! Or Jab-n-Dash for short! This is hilarious. Heh heh heh.’
It reminded me of elementary school days pulling bell-run pranks. Got busted after a few tries and took a beating for it.
I glanced around once, then cracked open the bath door and slipped inside.
The steamy heat hit me, thick with humidity.
‘…Eh. This ain’t great.’
I’d imagined some massive secret in the women’s bath. Something even Indiana Jones couldn’t dream up.
But nope. Just women washing naked. Nothing special.
‘Moving’s tricky.’
Illuster only turns you invisible—not massless. Footprints stick around.
If water splashed on me, it’d run down my body and give me away instantly. No way I was stepping into the bath.
‘…Too risky here.’
A little water on my skin was fine. Illuster hid clothes and weapons too—it was pretty flexible.
But a shower’s torrent? Whole different story.
I bailed on the bath and decided to stick to the changing room. Any cutie who caught my eye got the Jab-n-Dash treatment.
“Kyaaah?!”
The woman shrieked and spun around, but I was already clear.
‘Kuh…. Such a tease.’
Still weirdly addictive. I kept at the Jab-n-Dash game until Illuster had about thirty seconds left, then bolted from the changing room.
‘Heh heh heh. Gotta bring a camera next time.’
Three days later, rumors spread of an invisible man haunting the women’s changing room.
No big deal. Plenty of other spots if needed.
???
October 31st. Halloween.
Hongdae, packed with young people, was crawling with costumes.
The most common? Red Light outfits.
Red Light: the worst mass murderer. But also treated like a dark hero.
All his kills targeted criminals, after all. Especially the Kim Chun-seok incident—it hit hard.
The public had already pieced together that Red Light was behind the sex tape scandal at Gwanghwamun.
‘Me, the dark hero…. Time to play the part again?’
Wearing a clown mask with a red wig, I eyed Hongdae streets from a stolen car. No weird stares today—everyone assumed I was just another cosplaying citizen.
‘Today, I wipe out a horde of vampire hunters. Cripple them bad enough, they won’t interfere anymore. And the Life Flower gets to Korea safe.’
I pulled out my smartphone.
‘Choi Seon-mi can’t betray me. She’s hooked on my dick.’
Her loyalty was legit. Every tip she’d given checked out.
‘Moon Ji-hyuk trusts me to a degree.’
Feeding him info had paid off. I opened the phone and messaged Moon Ji-hyuk.
Taker - Detective Moon. Got good info.
Moon Ji-hyuk - Good info?
Reply came instantly. He never kept me waiting.
Taker - Way for a vampire to become human.
Taker - What you’ve been hunting for, right?
Moon Ji-hyuk - You really found it?!
Taker - You know I don’t mess around with intel.
Moon Ji-hyuk - Price?
Taker - This is billions-of-won territory. Hardly anyone knows.
Moon Ji-hyuk - Billions?
Taker - Yeah. But I’m feeling generous today.
Taker - Freebie. Don’t doubt it.
Taker - Life Orb. Vampire eats it, turns human.
Moon Ji-hyuk - Life Orb? How do I get one?
Taker - Beats me. But the intel came from the vampire group Cantara.
Moon Ji-hyuk - Thanks, Taker. Got a lead now.
Taker - Grateful? Treat me right next time. Cya.
“Kek.”
I laughed and pocketed the phone.
Leaking this was to pull Moon Ji-hyuk’s focus off Red Light. For the plot to stick to canon, he needed to chase the Life Orb. Big stakes—minimize variables.
I rolled down the window and shouted at the crowd outside.
“Hey, everyone!”
My voice boomed. People turned.
I cackled.
“I’m Red Light! Happy Halloween!”
Slotted the stolen key, fired up the engine, and stuck my pistol hand out the window.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang! Bang bang bang!
Fired into the sky. Shots rang in rhythm, casings clinking to the pavement.
“Kyaaaaah!”
“Gun! It’s real Red Light!”
“He’s the real Red Light?!”
“Sign please, Red Light!”
“Photo, Red Light!”
“Red Light! Red Light! Red Light!”
Cheers fading behind me, I floored it. The car surged forward. Running reds was par for the course. Destination: Incheon Port.
Decent distance.
‘Bit of grand-scale hide-and-seek.’
I wasn’t worried about cops.
Had Hacking skill.
‘Plus a license. Time to show off.’
Mashed the pedal harder. 200 km/h. Cops in pursuit. Choppers up, even live rounds flying. That last part surprised me.
“Ah. Barricade. Steel ones—hacking won’t cut it.”
Even I couldn’t ram steel. I whipped the car around and stopped somewhere safe.
Pulled a bike from inventory.
“Electric bike from Code: XTK.”
Mounted the sleek black beast. Fully illegal mod—max 600 km/h with nitro boost. Even short flights.
“You primitives. Behold the tech gap. They’ll keel over.”
Vroooooom!
Shot out on the bike. Smaller than a car—alleys and sidewalks no problem.
“Hahaha! Red Light’s off!”
Blasted pistol wildly while tearing down the road. Cops couldn’t match speed. Their chopper just hovered overhead.
‘Black Cross’ll send vampire hunters to take me out too.’
About seventy. Choi Seon-mi’s intel said that’s their active hunter count.
Bzzz. Bzzz.
Phone vibrated.
Speak of the devil… Choi Seon-mi calling.
“Yeah. Seon-mi.”
>Eu-jin! Seventy-five vampire hunters mobilized to nab you! They’re closing the net slow!
Her voice dripped urgency. She was genuinely worried.
Planned to bag Hera tonight… plans changed.
“Seon-mi. Soak that pussy. Gonna get filthy tonight.”
>Y-yes?
“Pussy pic, self-pleasure, juices dripping. Now. Got it?”
>…Yes, Eu-jin. …B-be careful.
I hung up.
Choi Seon-mi might not clock out today. Wipe seventy-five hunters? Black Cross’d be in hell.
“Hahaha! Catch me if you can!”
