Chapter 22: Third Regression (Branch Point 01)
Men's lust toward Im Da-bin: +40%
Your (Lee Do-yoon's) lust and stamina: 1.5x
Im Da-bin's lust: +30%
Im Da-bin's netorase compliance: +50%
As regressions repeat, required points for some branch points may change.
The required points for existing saved branch points have changed. Branch Point 02's cost increased... I hadn't considered that points needed for regression to branch points could fluctuate. I need to be even more cautious from now on...

Gradually, my vision brightens, and warm-toned lighting comes into view. There I am, sitting in front of a monitor. On the screen is the netorase manga I usually enjoy.
"Oppa! Freeze!"
A delicate voice shouts at me like an order. It's Da-bin's voice.
I've returned to the past when Da-bin caught me reading netorase manga. This should be a moment of utter panic, but...
My emotions feel like those of someone returning from a long trip. I'm just grateful to see Da-bin safe and sound.
"Hands off the mouse!"
She says exactly the same as before. I'm lost in netorase, out of my mind, but she's steadfastly holding her ground, just like always. Pathetic me.
Da-bin approaches and snatches the mouse from my hand.
Click! Click!
Da-bin examines the netorase doujinshi. After a moment, she parts her lips.
"Oppa... so this is your taste?"
Hearing the same question as before, I ponder deeply for a second. Should I... really quit now?
But things I haven't tried yet tease my eyes. And... the reason my heart still races is the lingering excitement from watching Da-bin get taken by Jae-min.
After a brief internal struggle, I change my mind.
"Uh... yeah, Da-bin. Honestly, I think... I get turned on by that stuff."
"..."
Da-bin stammers in shock. But is it my imagination, or does her expression look different from before...?
A moment later, she lets out a soft breath and speaks again.
"So, oppa, you'd like it if I did it with another guy?"
"Honestly, yeah, it'd excite me a bit..."
"Oppa, you're such a perv..."
Da-bin presses her finger firmly into my forehead, scolding me. Her reaction is cuter than expected, leaving me stunned and frozen in place.
"..."
"I'm gonna go wash up!"
Da-bin heads to the shower with a bright voice. Definitely... she's changed.
Men's lust toward Im Da-bin: +40%
Your (Lee Do-yoon's) lust and stamina: 1.5x
Im Da-bin's lust: +30%
Im Da-bin's netorase compliance: +50%
I check the perks I received upon regression again. The reason her vibe has shifted is surely the netorase compliance +50% perk. Seeing the perk window boosting her lust and netorase compliance fills me with unease on one hand.
But the netorase achievement window that appeared with this regression reignites my expectations for netorase once more.
An achievement window showing two out of six stars filled. What happens if I fill all six stars...? Judging from the positive connotation of "achievement," it's more likely to bring advantages than disadvantages to my netorase life.
I pondered the causal relationships between the branch points created so far and the netorase points earned... but I still couldn't pinpoint any clear pattern. All I know for sure is that netorase acts with Da-bin create branch points and earn points.
When a branch point forms and how many points I get seems completely random. In this situation, the emergence of what seems to be a cumulatively building netorase achievement across regressions provides me with a strange motivation.
Am I ultimately unable to escape netorase...?

I had sex with Da-bin after she finished showering. Maybe because my stamina was lower than last loop, holding back ejaculation was definitely harder.
Without the techniques I'd honed from the long sex sessions with Da-bin in the previous loop, I might have finished even quicker.
The silver lining is that while stamina decreased, the know-how and techniques I'd learned remained. Those were pretty solid, so even with reduced stamina, I could last a while... but Da-bin's pussy today felt different in sensitivity from the last loop.
The tightness was similar. Her vaginal walls still gripped my cock firmly, providing intense resistance every time I thrust forward.
But the love juices from her pussy seemed much more abundant than last time. Da-bin was always the wet type, but that was mostly before insertion.
Today, though, even after full penetration, her lower mouth kept leaking fluids nonstop. Enough to soak my groin completely. The scent of her juices—musky yet sweetly tangy—wafted up to my nose with every thrust of my hips, driving me even crazier.
After sex, exhaustion washed over me, and I lay holding Da-bin. She meets my eyes and brings her face close. She closes her eyes and kisses me.
Mm!
Cute. Sweet. Post-sex kisses are surely filled with love.
After lightly pecking my lips, Da-bin seems about to say something, her lips twitching.
"Oppa..."
"Yeah... Da-bin..."
"Sorry for teasing you about being a perv earlier..."
A strong sense of déjà vu hits. Back during my first regression, Da-bin said the exact same thing.
"No... Da-bin. It's me who's weird..."
"No... oppa. I just didn't know you'd get that excited about it..."
But the déjà vu fades quickly. Her way of speaking feels a bit different now.
"Am I kinda weird?"
"No, really, oppa... I thought about it, and... guys might fantasize like that sometimes..."
It wasn't my imagination—her speech has changed. I recall the perk window: her lust and netorase compliance boosted. Lust changes behavior, even in women.
Her words already hint at readiness to accept netorase, and I get excited again. My heart races. My penis hardens. Unable to hold back, I pounce on Da-bin once more.
"Kyaa-!"
She lets out a sharp squeal. So cute.
In the end, I had a second round with Da-bin. After I finish, she hugs me tight, as if consoling my self-reproach for not lasting long.
Just lying atop her, breathing together, feels utter bliss. Hearts aligned, sharing post-sex warmth. My heart warms. Da-bin is so lovable.
Da-bin, pinned beneath me, twitches her lips.
"Oppa..."
"Yeah... Da-bin."
"You like it that much?"
"Uh... yeah..."
"That... you got excited from what I said, right?"
"Yeah, seems like it..."
"Oppa..."
"Yeah..."
"If you like it that much... I could think about it..."
"Da... Da-bin..."
"..."
"Da-bin. I love you."
"Me too, oppa."
Mm!
Lips meet naturally. After another light peck with Da-bin, I finally blurt it out.
"Da-bin... wanna try it once?"
"Uh... how?"
"Maybe getting a massage wouldn't be bad..."
I suggest a method I'd seen in countless netorase works. The start of netorase: massage. It's a common entry point for real-life couples trying it—too hard to jump straight to full intimacy, so begin with soft stimulation.
Da-bin accepts my proposal more readily than expected.
"Uh... yeah... if oppa wants, that much should be okay..."
"Then, Da-bin, oppa will find someone who can give you a gentle massage."
"Yeah... oppa... but no weirdos, got it?"
"Yeah, Da-bin."
Like she said, I have no intention of handing her to some creep. The bad experience with Jae-min last loop only strengthens that resolve.
That bastard Jae-min. He'd been a decent netorase partner for our couple at a good pace, but he lost it over Hodu's sudden antics. You reap what you sow, Han Jae-min.
Just like that, Jae-min was crossed off the list. Only one person came to mind.
He'd be easy to talk to, wouldn't cross lines. Plus, he's handsome, so Da-bin would be satisfied. And he has plenty of experience with women—rumor has it he gave massages to his ex-girlfriends.
I'd already settled on the perfect candidate in my head. My long-time business partner and closest friend...
