Chapter 208: Eternal Spire[R-18] (33)
In the city's upscale district, on a street lined with red lanterns, stood the 'Blue Sapphire' restaurant. It was known as the most expensive establishment in the area, a place ordinary people couldn't even dream of visiting.
Park So-young had never imagined she would ever come to a place like this. Taking a deep breath, she approached Jin Seo-yun, who was waiting leisurely at the restaurant's entrance.
"Hey, this place is crazy expensive! Where do you think I have the money to come here?"
Jin Seo-yun smiled playfully at her flustered expression.
"Come on, after all the money you've earned, you're still saying that?"
"Haaah… I was planning to buy the new gear that just came out…"
Park So-young pouted and grumbled. Jin Seo-yun chuckled and gave her a gentle push on the back.
"Hey, stop with the sob story and let's go in. Today's the day you're treating, So-young."
"Really… my precious, hard-earned money…"
Though Park So-young muttered with a mock-grumble, she couldn't resist his touch and stepped inside.
As expected, the restaurant's interior was splendid and luxurious. Chandeliers glittered under the soft lighting, and elegantly decorated tables caught her eye.
After Jin Seo-yun skillfully exchanged a few words with a waiter, an employee quickly guided them to a table in the most secluded corner.
"Wow… the atmosphere in here is insane."
Park So-young couldn't help but marvel as she looked around. But the moment she opened the menu, her face hardened.
"Seo-yun, are you sure these numbers are right?"
"Pfft… Don't worry about it. I'll just pay today."
"No, it's fine. I'll get it… You've helped me with a lot, after all."
Jin Seo-yun gazed at her for a moment, then smiled lightly and nodded.
"Alright, you can treat today. But next time, I'll take you somewhere even better."
"Forget it. Let's just eat somewhere reasonable next time."
Park So-young smiled lightly and changed the subject. Jin Seo-yun watched her, a smile on his own face.
Soon, a waiter approached politely to take their order. Jin Seo-yun expertly recommended a few dishes, and once the order was placed, a brief, awkward silence fell between them.
"There's something I'm curious about…"
Park So-young was the first to speak.
"What is it?"
Park So-young asked, lightly swirling the wine glass on the table.
"Where do you get all that money? I know the rewards for killing bosses are good, but looking at all the people you're supporting now, it seems like even that wouldn't be enough. And you're giving them amazing gear, too."
Jin Seo-yun seemed to think for a moment before smiling.
"In this tower, information is money. If you know where certain dungeons are, or what treasures are hidden where, getting rich is easy."
"And how do you get such important information?"
"That's a secret."
Jin Seo-yun said playfully.
Just then, the waiter brought the wine. A ruby-colored liquid was poured into an exquisite crystal glass.
"This is one of the finest wines this restaurant offers. It's for special occasions…"
"Special occasions?"
Park So-young asked with a puzzled look.
"Yes. It's a special occasion because it's dinner with you."
She suddenly felt her face flush. It was hard to tell if Jin Seo-yun's words were just a joke or if they held a deeper meaning.
"Ah, well… um, let's have a toast."
The two clinked their glasses. The wine was smooth, its deep flavor lingering on the tongue.
"This is really good. You can tell it's expensive."
"It is, isn't it? I chose it because I thought it would suit you."
"Me? Why?"
"It's strong, yet smooth. It reminds me of you."
Park So-young was flustered for the second time. Every word Jin Seo-yun uttered sent a subtle ripple through her heart.
The first course arrived—an artistically arranged dish on a small plate.
"Wow, what is this? It's too pretty to eat!"
"It's a dish enjoyed with champagne. Have a bite."
Park So-young carefully tasted the food. A delicate flavor spread through her mouth.
"This is really delicious. But the portion is so small, isn't it?"
Jin Seo-yun couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Restaurants like this serve their food in courses. This is just the beginning."
They enjoyed their meal, talking slowly. The initially awkward atmosphere gradually became more comfortable.
"By the way, Seo-yun, there's something I'm curious about."
Jin Seo-yun looked up at her.
"What is it?"
"Why did you ask me to join the party? To be honest, I was a little confused at first. You already had so many party members…"
Jin Seo-yun took a sip of wine and slowly began to speak.
"First of all, because you were skilled. And…"
He paused for a moment.
"And?"
"You stood out to me from the first time I saw you. How should I put it… you seemed special? I liked that unique boldness of yours."
Jin Seo-yun's serious gaze left Park So-young momentarily speechless. She managed to reply, feigning nonchalance.
"Oh, really…? It's no big deal…"
"What do you mean, no big deal? You really are special."
At his words, Park So-young's face turned a faint shade of red, and she averted her gaze. Fortunately, the main course arrived just then.
"Wow, this is incredible. It looks like a work of art."
A perfectly cooked steak with beautiful garnishes captivated her.
"Try it. I'm sure it's delicious."
Park So-young carefully put a piece of steak in her mouth. She was instantly amazed by the tender juices and rich flavor that spread through her palate.
"…It's delicious. I've never eaten anything like this in my life."
Jin Seo-yun smiled at her reaction.
"Seeing your expression, it must be really good."
The two exchanged light conversation as they ate.
After the main course, dessert was served. It was a lavishly decorated chocolate dessert.
"This is the restaurant's signature dessert. You have to try it."
Park So-young took a bite and her face lit up with happiness.
"Wow… this is insane. It's so good. I don't think I can live without this now."
Jin Seo-yun burst out laughing at her reaction.
"We'll come again next time."
"Is that a promise?"
Jin Seo-yun smiled and nodded.

After parting with Park So-young, Jin Seo-yun immediately left and walked into the darkness.
The gentle smile he had shown her was gone, replaced by an icy coldness. He left the city streets and entered a narrow, dark alley.
In a secluded corner untouched by even the moonlight, he fumbled along the side of an old building and pulled a hidden doorknob. With a creak, the door opened, revealing a faint red light from within.
The moment he stepped inside, the smell of perfume and a strange body odor assaulted his nostrils. At the end of the hallway, a woman with purple hair was waiting for him. It was Tia.
"You've arrived?"
She wore a black dress that exposed her pale skin, its deep neckline boldly revealing her ample cleavage.
Jin Seo-yun's lips curled up slightly as he scanned Tia's body from top to bottom.
"Were you waiting?"
"Yes. It is my duty to always wait for you."
Jin Seo-yun pulled her to his side, his hand caressing her breast as they walked forward. Feeling his touch, Tia began her report.
"Kim Min-su moved as expected. He looked around inside and left without any particular suspicion."
"Fool. To be deceived so easily."
Jin Seo-yun chuckled lightly, rubbing her nipple with his finger.
"By now, he's probably met with Park So-young and reassured her."
"Send Kim Min-su to the dungeon tomorrow."
There was no emotion in Jin Seo-yun's voice. Taking someone's life was as easy for him as casual conversation.
"But Kim Min-su is a strong tanker, so tell them not to be careless."
"Yes, I'll keep that in mind."
Tia pressed closer into Jin Seo-yun's embrace and asked something she had been curious about.
"You seem to be taking a slightly different approach this time, though. You usually just take them by force, but you're trying to stir emotions in Park So-young."
Jin Seo-yun shrugged with a light smile.
"It's fun, isn't it? Aren't you curious what kind of expression that innocent woman will make when she finally learns my true nature?"
Tia let out a small laugh.
"You truly are cruel."
"It's not cruel. It's just enjoying things in a more interesting way."
The two descended a staircase into the basement.
Jin Seo-yun stopped in front of a large iron door. When Tia opened it with a crystal key she held, an intense fragrance and wave of heat rushed out.
As Jin Seo-yun crossed the threshold, dozens of naked women stood in lines, greeting him by spreading their cunts wide open with their fingers.
"Cunt!"
Their voices merged, echoing through the room. All of them had perfect bodies, their cunts were neatly groomed, and they were already wet, seemingly ready to receive their master.
Jin Seo-yun smiled with satisfaction and walked slowly between them. He approached the blue-haired woman at the very front and lifted her chin. Then, looking at the name tag on her nipple, he spoke.
"How are you today, Sharon?"
"I'm happy to see you, Master. Please use me anytime!"
Sharon's voice trembled, but it was filled with longing. Jin Seo-yun lowered his hand and gently stroked her breast. The firm flesh hardened in response to his touch.
"Hmm… it seems you still need more training."
As Jin Seo-yun's fingers twisted her nipple hard, Sharon let out a moan mixed with pain and pleasure.
"Hnngh…! Thank you, Master…"
Jin Seo-yun slid his hand between her legs. Sharon's cunt was already soaked. Two of his fingers plunged into her.
-Schlick!
"Aahng!"
Sharon's body shuddered violently. Jin Seo-yun repeatedly pushed his fingers deep inside and pulled them out, observing her reaction.
"Your response is good. But you need to be made more sensitive."
He pulled his fingers out of Sharon's cunt and walked deeper into the room. He passed between the lines of women, randomly selecting one after another and thrusting his fingers into their cunts. Each time his fingers suddenly invaded them, the women trembled with pleasure.
"Eungh!"
"Haaahng!"
"Hnngh…"
A chorus of different moans filled the room. Some women, upon meeting his gaze, automatically spread their legs wider and opened their cunts, presenting themselves. Their eyes were full of a desperate desire to be chosen.
"Where is the newcomer who arrived this week?"
Tia pointed to one side of the room. Five women stood slightly apart from the others. A hint of fear still lingered in their eyes, as if they weren't fully broken in yet.
Jin Seo-yun approached one of them, an Asian woman with black hair. Unlike the others, she was trembling slightly.
"What's your name?"
"It's… Lin, Master."
Her voice quivered. Jin Seo-yun reached out, spread her cunt open with his index and middle fingers, and inspected the inside. Lin flinched in surprise.
Suddenly, Jin Seo-yun shoved his fingers inside.
-Schlick!
"Haak!"
Lin cried out at the unexpected invasion. Jin Seo-yun pushed his fingers deep, fucking her cunt.
"You're not wet enough yet. You should already be excited in my presence."
When he pulled his fingers out, Lin's legs were trembling uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, Master… I'll try harder."
"Tia, this one seems to need special training."
Tia smiled gently and nodded.
"Yes, I'll train her myself tonight."
Lin's face went pale. She had heard all about what "special training" entailed from the senior girls.
Jin Seo-yun continued to inspect the other women.
The women, while fearing they wouldn't be chosen, also trembled knowing what would happen if they were, their eyes fixed on him with a mix of terror and anticipation.
