Back in reality, I turned on the TV out of habit. The morning news cycle was in full swing, and the lead story was unavoidable: Han A-young, the world's newest S-rank hunter. She was rapidly becoming a household name, her silhouette caught in blurred photos from airports in Malaysia yesterday and China today.
'She’s certainly busy,' I mused. Even by S-rank standards, her schedule was grueling. It wasn't just the Association pushing her; it was the nature of her talent. As the first ice manipulator to reach the pinnacle of S-rank, her presence was demanded globally—every lava-filled dungeon or runaway fire-type monster was now her responsibility.
Unlike me or Han Ha-rin, A-young was driven by a genuine sense of duty. The title "Hero" fit her perfectly. Despite the chaos, she messaged me at least three times a day. Calls were rare—she was always surrounded by handlers and sycophants—but her texts were consistent.
'Pakistan next for the lava centipedes... Man, when I finally hit S-rank, I’m just going to slack off and live like a king.'
I picked up my smartphone and opened the Playful Life app while the news drone on in the background.
'3,400 points. Time for some upgrades.'
I dumped 1,000 points into Virility, pushing it to an even 100. I expected some fanfare for hitting triple digits, but the system remained silent.
'The cost doubled instantly. This app really wants me to grind.'
I turned my attention to Intelligence. It was a subtle stat, but its perks were listed in the fine print: skill enhancement, reduced mana costs, and shorter cooldowns. At 80 Intelligence, I was already feeling the 3.6% reduction in cooldown for Complete Recovery. It didn't sound like much, but shaving thirty minutes off a twelve-hour timer could be life or death.
However, Mana was more immediate. I dumped the rest of the points to max out my Mana and Agility for a more aesthetic spread.
I grinned. 619. If you squinted, the numbers looked like... well, something very familiar. I decided to keep it there as a lucky charm. Feeling invigorated, I sprawled back on the sofa and allowed myself a few hours of pure, unadulterated real-world laziness. It was a luxury no amount of points could buy.
After a four-hour nap, I took care of business in the Baekhwan world, had a "sloppy" dinner session with Han Ha-rin, and finally prepared for the next phase.

A man in his mid-30s slammed a folder onto his desk in frustration. Kim An-hong, an executive of the Kaiyo Clan, was not having a good day. Kaiyo was Korean in name only; over 80% of its backing came from Japanese capital, a fact that made them a primary rival to the North Diamond Clan.
"How did Ophid fail so miserably? They should have at least crippled her!" he growled. Ryu Hana, the heir to North Diamond, was supposed to be a corpse by now. Instead, she was alive, and North Diamond was sniffing around for the culprit.
"And then that Redlight prick comes out of nowhere and wipes them out... damn it all." Kim An-hong ground his teeth. If North Diamond fell, Kaiyo would undisputed control over the Korean clan scene—the money, the dungeons, the power. He wouldn't let one rogue vigilante stop him.

The Academy auditorium was packed for a rare all-grades morning assembly. Kang Ji-young stood on stage, her tone as icy and professional as ever. Change was coming to the faculty. Rumors were flying—several long-time staff members had been quietly dismissed after the assassin breach.
'In the original story, only one teacher was replaced. I’ve really butterfly-effected the hell out of this timeline,' I thought, watching the faculty row. Kwon Sang-hoon, the Vice Principal, looked particularly displeased. He had been eyeing the Principal’s chair for twenty years, and Kang Ji-young was a stone in his path.
The four new staff members stepped forward to introduce themselves. My eyes immediately locked onto the dark elf, Kalles. She had short gray hair, taut brown skin, and massive E-cup breasts that strained against her black blouse.
"I am Kalles," she announced. "I will be managing the Artificial Dungeons and teaching Spirit Studies."
I licked my lips. In the original, she taught Basic Protection. The fact that she was now teaching Spirit Studies was a direct result of my presence. This was going to be an interesting semester.

Lunchtime. Before heading to the cafeteria, I found Lee Si-eun in a secluded hallway. It was a routine by now. She hiked up her skirt in the shadows, her blue hair shimmering. I knelt and slid her panties aside, revealing a tight pink slit framed by pale blue curls.
"Eut, ahn!" she gasped as I teased her with a drop of her own excitement. I worked her methodically, knowing her body’s triggers. Within a minute, she was splayed against the wall, her legs trembling as I flicked her sensitive center.
"Hahk, haaaang...!"
"Si-eun, keep it down. You want someone to walk in?" I whispered.
She clamped her hands over her mouth, her eyes wide with a mix of terror and bliss. After two orgasms, she clung to my arm, her voice shaky.
"...Yu-jin. When are you going to take me for real? Don't you want to be my first?"
"I’m just letting you ripen, Si-eun. A virgin pussy is like fine wine—it needs time. Wait patiently."
I gave her a reassuring pat "down there" before we finally made it to the cafeteria. On the way, we bumped into Ryu Hana. She looked at Lee Si-eun’s possessive grip on my arm before locking eyes with me.
"...Heading to lunch?" she asked.
"Yeah. A bit late."
"Free tonight for a spar?"
"Sorry, Hana. I’m tied up."
"...I see. Let me know when you have time then." She walked past us without a second glance.
Lee Si-eun watched her walk away, a mischievous glint in her blue eyes. "Yu-jin... you haven't fucked her yet, have you? I want to watch. I want to hear the high-and-mighty heir of North Diamond scream like a brat."
I chuckled. I had cultivated her voyeuristic streak well. "Everything I asked for is ready?"
"Yeah. Look." She pulled up a folder on her phone. Hidden videos of academy girls—breaking rules, bathing, doing 'favors' for cash. "These two in particular... their families are in debt. They’ll do whatever you want for a little bit of money."
"Good girl, Si-eun."
"Will you deflower me now?"
"Later."
