Chapter 115: Eternal Spire
The moment I returned to reality, I picked up my smartphone and checked the Libido App. A notification I hadn't seen yet chimed.
I gave a cursory glance at how much my level had risen and the points I'd acquired, then moved on.
I opened my status window for the first time in a while.
[Status Window]
Name: Jin Seo-yun
Level: 25
Strength: 50 (+2)
Stamina: 51
Agility: 50 (+2)
Vigor: 50 (+1)
Internal Energy: 59
[Owned Points: 1,110]
After subtracting the points I used to put the Gongcheongseokyu in my inventory, I had about 1,000 points left.
‘Should I leave 1,000 points and try the gacha?’
[Random Gacha]
※Current Points: 1,110
1-Time Gacha: 10 Points
10-Time Gacha: 90 Points
‘A 10-pull and two single pulls, then.’
I started with the 10-pull.
[10-Time Gacha Results]
- Broken Pencil - Etc.
- Summoning Ticket - Consumable
- Crumpled Receipt - Etc.
- Ejaculation Control - Trait
- Ball of Fur - Etc.
- Wireless Onahole - Equipment
- Empty Can - Etc.
- Laxative - Consumable
- White Sock - Etc.
- Wooden Chopsticks - Etc.
I scowled at the results. It was mostly garbage.
‘The Summoning Ticket seems decent, at least.’
I looked at my smartphone screen and read the description for the ticket.
[Summoning Ticket]
- Allows you to summon a character from an ongoing or completed creation to any location.
- Summon Duration: 168 hours
- Upon summon expiration, the character automatically returns to their original world.
- If the character dies, they will return immediately.
[Warning]
- The summoned individual can refuse the summoner's commands.
- If you have a hostile relationship, they may attack the summoner.
[How to Use]
- Imagine the desired character in your mind, then tear the ticket.
‘It’s only a week, but being able to summon my women anywhere is nice.’
I had no intention of summoning anyone right away. If I had to pick someone, it would be Seo Ryeo-hwa. But I felt it wasn't the right time yet.
‘I need to make her fall for me even more.’
The fact that she still maintained the boundary of master and disciple meant she hadn't completely fallen for me yet.
‘Well, that won’t last much longer.’
If I kept fucking her, she would eventually become completely mine.
I looked back at my phone and checked the new trait, Ejaculation Control.
[Ejaculation Control]
- Allows you to control the volume and timing of your ejaculation at will.
- Intensity and concentration can also be adjusted.
[Warning]
- If your Vigor stat is insufficient, excessive ejaculation can be fatal.
I liked the trait more than I expected. It seemed like it could be dangerous if I overdid it, though.
‘With this, I can have some fun making the women's bellies swell up as if they were pregnant.’
The thought naturally brought the images of four women to mind. Seo Ryeo-hwa, Jang Seo-young, Jin So-hee, Seol-hee… I imagined all of them with their bellies swollen with my semen.
‘I have to try this next time.’
Nodding to myself, I started checking the other items.
[Wireless Onahole]
[How to Use]
- Insert a woman's bodily fluid or hair into the connection port at the top of the onahole to link it.
- Once linked, the woman's genitals will be synced with the onahole.
‘I’ll have to try this later if I remember. For now, should I do the rest of my pulls?’
I immediately started the gacha again.
[1-Time Gacha Result]
- Worn-out Pencil - Etc.
Garbage. I immediately did another pull.
[1-Time Gacha Result]
- Gold Ticket - Consumable
‘What’s this?’
I checked the information on the Gold Ticket.
[Gold Ticket]
- Can yield anything from trash to a powerful trait.
※A gacha pull using a Gold Ticket has a higher probability of yielding a better result than a normal pull.
‘If I’m lucky, I could hit the jackpot, huh?’
Without hesitation, I took the Gold Ticket from my inventory and used it.
A magnificent roulette wheel appeared in mid-air. The golden wheel began to spin slowly.
It spun faster and faster until it finally stopped on a single slot, and fireworks went off.
Pop! Pop!
[Golden Roulette Result]
Points Acquired: 50,000
‘Ooh… this is a huge jackpot.’
The 50,000 points were added to my existing 1,000, bringing my total to a whopping 51,000 points.
‘With this, I could bring the golden pill to reality and eat it… or I could save up more and activate one of my inactive traits.’
[Owned Trait List]
Predation (Inactive)
Bloodline Awakening (Inactive)
Pregnancy Control Ability
Delicious Semen
Strong Addictiveness
Regeneration
Charm Boost
Advanced Swordsmanship
Yin-Yang Manual
Clean
Ejaculation Control
Predation and Bloodline Awakening… I was torn between the two. Activating Predation would let me get stronger quickly, but my dick was telling me to go for Bloodline Awakening.
After a long moment of deliberation, I decided to choose later. There was no point in agonizing over it when I was still 49,000 points short anyway.
‘I’ll have to gather more points first.’
Now that I was level 25, I could select a new creation.
When I opened the list of creations in the Libido App, a new message popped up.
[You have reached Level 20, unlocking the Quest System.]
[New Quest]
- Challenge the creation, Eternal Spire.
【Quest Reward】
- 5,000 Points
【Bonus Rewards】
- An additional 1,000 points for clearing each floor.
- A special reward for completing the 100th floor.
【Warning】 This quest is subject to a Forced Penalty.
‘Forced Penalty? What’s that?’
I checked the quest details.
【Forced Penalty】
- All stats reduced by 50%.
- Only 3 traits can be used.
- Yin-Yang Manual cannot be selected.
My stats would be cut in half, and I couldn't use my Yin-Yang Manual. Plus, I could only use three traits.
‘Hmm, it doesn’t really matter since I don’t have any traits that are particularly helpful in combat. But it’s a shame I can’t use the Yin-Yang Manual.’
Besides the Yin-Yang Manual, none of my traits were useful for fighting. Advanced Swordsmanship was practically useless to me now. It had been helpful in the beginning, but not anymore.
‘More importantly, do I really have to do this quest?’
It gave a lot of points, but it felt like it would be a huge pain in the ass.
And the fact that Eternal Spire didn't have many hot female characters didn't sit well with me either.
‘Still, the points are really good…’
After some thought, I decided to do the quest. It was a shame to pass up a reward this big. I immediately chose the traits I would use.
[Selected Traits]
- Ejaculation Control
- Delicious Semen
- Strong Addictiveness
I picked the new Ejaculation Control because I wanted to try it out. Delicious Semen and Strong Addictiveness were practically a part of me at this point.
‘Well, it’s not like I have any other great options.’
Having selected my traits, I accepted the quest.
[You have accepted the quest.]
[Avatar selection is not available for this creation.]
[Replicating your body from the real world.]
[Beginning Eternal Spire.]
Reality distorted.
I blinked and looked around. I was in a small, one-room apartment.
I turned on my smartphone to check the date and time.
December 30th. 11:00 PM.
‘One hour left.’
Exactly one hour until the original story began.
All participants who received an invitation were scheduled to be forcibly transported.
I opened my status window to check my reduced stats first.
[Status Window]
Name: Jin Seo-yun
Level: 25
Strength: 25
Stamina: 25
Agility: 25
Vigor: 25
Internal Energy: 29
[Owned Points: 51,000]
I muttered to myself as I checked the window.
"I’ve gotten quite a bit weaker."
I opened my inventory and took out the Gongcheongseokyu. Thankfully, item usage wasn't restricted, so it was best to raise my stats as much as possible before being transported.
‘This should help me recover some of my stats.’
Holding the Gongcheongseokyu, I sat on the floor in the lotus position.
As the cold liquid slid down my throat, a powerful energy spread through my body. I circulated my internal energy, spreading that power throughout my entire being.
[Status Window]
Name: Jin Seo-yun
Level: 25
Strength: 30
Stamina: 30
Agility: 30
Vigor: 30
Internal Energy: 49
[Owned Points: 51,000]
Confirming the changes in my status window, I stared quietly at my hand. The energy I could feel at my fingertips was still sharp and strong enough. Even considering my weakened state, this was more than enough to work with.
I slowly rose to my feet and lightly dusted off my hands.
‘This isn’t a bad start.’
The clock on my smartphone struck 12.
Suddenly, a brilliant light filled the room. An elegant-looking invitation floated before me.
I picked it up and read its contents.
[Chosen one, this invitation will lead you to a new world. At the pinnacle of the tower, your destiny and desires await. The tower can give you everything, and it will take everything away.]
‘Same text as the original. In that case, the forced transport should be starting now…’
Before I could finish my thought, the space around me began to warp. The scenery of the apartment melted away like paint, and a new view revealed itself.
A colossal tower stood before me. The jet-black spire pierced the clouds, reaching for the very end of the sky.
Other participants were appearing one by one around the tower. They all wore bewildered expressions, seemingly unable to grasp the situation.
Some of them, overcome with confusion, began to shout.
"What is this?"
"Is this some kind of prank?"
"Where are we?"
"What in the world is going on…?"
Their confused voices mixed into a cacophony. I tried to find the protagonist, Yoon Jae-ho, among them.
As I searched for him, someone else caught my eye first.
She was a beautiful woman with orange hair.
‘Isia… the original heroine.’
Her presence here meant the protagonist was at a different entrance.
I approached Isia’s side, making sure not to be noticed.
I quietly took a spot a few steps away from her. A quick glance at her face revealed it was filled with fear and confusion.
‘Pass. Her looks are flawless. This won’t be boring for a while.’
Looking around, I saw more and more people appearing near the tower. All of them were trying to make sense of the situation with dazed expressions.
In one corner, a group was making a commotion, shouting loudly, while in another, I noticed people who were calmly observing their surroundings.
‘In the original story, about 100,000 people from all over the world were invited. A good number of them were eliminated or gave up early on.’
I muttered to myself as I watched the crowd before me.
Isia was still frozen, staring at the tower. It was only natural for an ordinary college student like her to feel anxious when thrown into such a surreal situation.
A short while later, a brilliant light began to pour out from the tower's entrance. In an instant, all the surrounding noise stopped.
Everyone’s gaze naturally focused on the source of the light.
