Explosive Laughter in the Martial World
Alright. All the preparations are done. From now on, I'll use my points to stash every potion that comes out straight into my Inventory. If I stockpile them for two or three days like this, I can head straight back to the Explosive Laughter Martial World!
Three days after Seong-il laid out his plan.
"Thirty high-grade recovery potions and thirty stamina potions..."
Seong-il muttered to himself as he looked at the potions Elisha had handed over. Watching him, she spoke up as if making an excuse.
"I couldn't help it. I cut back on sleep for three whole days to make them, but this is my limit right now."
"Ah... I'm not blaming you. I'm just thinking about how to use this amount most efficiently."
"Huh? Weren't you going to hand them over to Pirina's guild?"
'Shit!'
Seong-il had accidentally blurted out his true thoughts. He quickly rolled his eyes and started making up an excuse.
"Ah... of course! That's exactly what I meant!"
"What are you even saying..."
Elisha shook her head at Seong-il's nonsense. But she seemed to have grown used to his incomprehensible way of speaking by now. She simply let it slide with a familiar shrug.
"Anyway! I'm heading out for a bit!"
"Sure."
After saying goodbye to Elisha, Seong-il left the house. He hid near the garden and returned to reality.
"Whew... The tariff on potions is no joke."
The points required to bring the potions into reality came out to 200 points each. With sixty of them totaling 12,000 points, Seong-il let out a sigh as he thought it over.
"Is it because they're such efficient magic items? Two hundred points per bottle? Well... they are worth that much, I guess..."
The points he'd painstakingly gathered over a long time had suddenly dropped to just over ten thousand. It stung his chest, but Seong-il comforted himself with the thought that each potion was worth one of his lives.
"By the way, why did I suddenly rack up so many points out of nowhere?"
With that in mind, Seong-il turned on the quest function and began checking the list.
"Let's see... Maybe some quests got naturally cleared while I was messing around with Elisha in the game world...?"
"Wait, what?! Main quest progress at 1/3?"
Seong-il was shocked by the unexpected quest list and examined the details more closely.
📍 Repay Elisha's Debt — COMPLETED
📍 Edward?? ???? ???? — INCOMPLETE
📍 Grad? ?? — INCOMPLETE
"A main quest?! This wasn't even in the quest list until recently. It just appeared out of nowhere...?"
Seong-il sat there blankly staring at his smartphone for a long time before he began piecing together the information he'd been given.
"Hmm... A main quest probably means it's tied to the core story that runs through the game's main theme, right?"
"But why are the rest of the main quests marked with ?? in the middle? It's better than not showing them at all, but it's still annoying. What kind of shitty way is this to mark quests? How the hell am I supposed to clear them like this? Whew..."
Irritated by the incredibly unhelpful Game Master quest system, Seong-il continued his reasoning.
"First, the one starting with Edward... has to be a quest related to Edward. Since that bastard's a villain, it's probably about taking him down..."
"Grad? That's easy! It's obviously graduation. The game's ending was always about paying off the debt and graduating from the academy anyway."
It was unfriendly as hell, but Seong-il could at least figure out what the quests were getting at.
"So in the end, Edward is someone I absolutely have to fight..."
Once again steeling himself toward his goal, Seong-il muttered under his breath.
"At least I've got enough points left to buy one B-rank game. That's the bare minimum insurance in place. Still, the investment's left me pretty tight on points, so I need to focus on getting stronger for real."
Having wrapped up his thoughts, Seong-il began entering the Explosive Laughter Martial World.
"Whoa... It's been a while here too. By the way, the potions came out in reality. I wonder if they'll work here as well?"
With that thought, Seong-il opened his Inventory and tried taking out a potion.
"Inventory!"
He opened the inventory and pulled out the potion.
"It worked!"
Of course, through several experiments he'd already confirmed that items he'd paid the tariff on would be compatible across worlds. Still, he'd been worried that 'Maybe magical items have restrictions?' The potion appeared in his hand without any issues, completely dispelling his fears.
"Now... with these, I should be able to go through real combat without too much trouble!"
Feeling delighted, Seong-il called out for Eun-wol and Saekma as he searched for them.
"Ugh... What is it this time, young master?"
Saekma came out to greet him with an utterly fed-up expression. Eun-wol, who knew nothing about the situation, glared at him furiously.
"You insolent fool! How dare you speak to the young master like that?!"
"No, it's just that the young mistress doesn't know the full story..."
"Shut up."
"Yes ma'am..."
Saekma lowered his head with a miserable look. Feeling a bit sorry for him, Seong-il comforted the man.
"Don't get too down. Eun-wol's just saying that because she doesn't know what happened before."
"Aigoo... Thank you, young master."
At Seong-il's consolation, Saekma immediately perked up as if he'd never been depressed. He lifted his head and started grinning slyly.
'This old man really has a great personality.'
Seong-il let out an internal chuckle and silently offered his wrist to Saekma.
"Check this out."
"....No way?"
"It's exactly what you think."
Seong-il looked at him with a triumphant smile. Saekma's face filled with shock as he grabbed Seong-il's hand and felt his pulse.
"Oh my god!!"
"It's good now, right?"
"Heh heh heh......"
Saekma stared at Seong-il with the expression of someone looking at a monster.
"This is insane. At this level, you don't have to worry about side effects at all. By the way, defying the heavens like this is seriously OP. Can't you teach me how to do it too?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't even know how this happened myself."
"Hiiing..."
Saekma let out a disappointed whine. Seong-il looked at him and burst into cheerful laughter before asking his question.
"Puhaha! So does this mean I can start proper martial arts training now?"
Saekma nodded in response to Seong-il's words.
"Yes. The foundation seems to be properly laid now. The fat around your tendons is a bit concerning... but that should fix itself quickly once you start learning the basic forms and 'rolling' around a bit."
'Wait... rolling?'
For a moment he thought he'd heard a strange word, but the joy of finally learning martial arts made Seong-il ignore it. He suggested they begin the training right away.
Saekma and the young mistress nodded at his words and led him to an empty clearing away from people.
"Is this... the right way to do it?"
"Hmm... Wouldn't it be better to do it like this instead?"
Saekma and the young mistress whispered to each other while holding the Taeguk Geomgyeol manual Seong-il had given them. Seong-il watched them with utter disbelief.
"What the hell are you two doing?"
"Ah, just a moment. This is our first time learning it too, so we're reading it. Just a second..."
'Can I really trust these idiots to teach me martial arts? Seriously?'
Seong-il stared at them blankly while holding back his frustration as they continued whispering. After a long discussion, they finally noticed his gaze and spoke up as if making excuses.
"Why are you looking at us like that? This isn't even our sect's inherited technique... We've only had the manual for three days. Isn't that obvious? You're being too harsh!"
'Ah... I've been in the How to Become an Alchemist world for so long that I forgot. For them, it's only been about three days.'
Seong-il acknowledged that he'd been too hasty and nodded.
"You're right. Take all the time you need and discuss it thoroughly."
After making Seong-il wait blankly for quite a while, the two finally approached him.
"Um... young master."
"Yes?"
"After researching it with the young mistress, it seems we can only properly teach you the basics. The advanced parts are too much for us. It's an incredibly high-level technique, so even we would need several months of study just to grasp the theory."
Seong-il nodded at his words.
"That's fine. I'm just at the stage of learning to walk anyway. What would I do with advanced techniques? Just teach me the basics."
Saekma nodded in response.
"That's good to hear. Some annoying bastards always demand ridiculous things from the start—like wanting to learn lightness skill first or asking to shoot sword energy right away."
"...? Did I look like that kind of person to you?"
"..."
Saekma simply stared at him in silence.
'Fuck... So that's what you thought of me.'
Seong-il sighed and approached Saekma.
"Let's just get started already. What do I need to do?"
"Ah, wait a moment. I need to ask the young mistress."
"What?!"
"What do you mean, what? Her personality is a bit... unique, but her talent is incredible. It'll be far more effective if she teaches you directly than if I demonstrate."
'Then why the hell were you arguing with me, you idiot?'
Seong-il's irritation shot through the roof. Without another word, he walked over to the young mistress. She was completely focused on reading the book.
"Eun-wol. How do I do this?"
"Ah! Could you stand here please?"
Eun-wol handed him a wooden sword and began teaching him the martial forms one by one.
And that evening.
"Ugh..."
"Are you okay?"
Eun-wol looked at Seong-il with pity in her eyes.
"I feel like I'm going to die. My thighs and waist feel like they're about to snap."
"Oh dear..."
She stroked his head gently. After offering simple comfort, she silently began moving her hips.
"Mmm..."
Seong-il lay completely naked on the bed while Eun-wol straddled him, vigorously shaking her hips.
"Oh no... It breaks my heart to see the young master so exhausted..."
'Then why the hell are you moving like that?'
Despite her gentle, soothing tone, her powerful hip movements left Seong-il stunned.
She placed her palms on his thighs and rocked her hips back and forth with enthusiasm.
'Whew... I do like having sex, but this is honestly killing me.'
Exhausted from the brutal training, Seong-il watched her beautiful naked body with glazed eyes. Whether she knew how he felt or not, Eun-wol kept his member buried inside her as she leaned down and began sucking on his nipple.
"Slurp... suck... mmm..."
"Hah...!"
Seong-il involuntarily let out a moan at the intense pleasure. Eun-wol smiled beautifully at him.
"Since this is your first day of training, just lie back comfortably. I'll take care of the rest."
'I just want to sleep today...'
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but when he saw her face flushed with ecstasy as she moved her hips, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
'Whatever. I'll just let her keep going until I pass out.'
Seong-il obediently enjoyed her hip movements until he fell asleep as if he'd fainted.
"Yawn..."
Seong-il woke up to the morning sunlight and the strange sensation in his lower body.
"Slurp... mmm... sluuuurp..."
'What is that sound?'
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Seong-il lifted his head toward the sound and pleasure coming from below. There was Eun-wol, sucking on his cock while reading a book.
"Uh...? What... what are you doing?"
"Ah... I wanted to help with your training, so I was studying the manual! Did I do well?"
Eun-wol looked up at him with an innocent expression, gently stroking his member with an adorable voice.
'She's ridiculously cute...'
Half-melted by this new side of Eun-wol, Seong-il unconsciously nodded and sat up to stroke her hair.
"Mmm..."
She let out a pleased moan at his touch. Feeling his hand, she lowered her head and took his member deep into her throat.
"Whew... You're really good at this."
"Mmmph... thank youuu..."
She mumbled with his cock still in her mouth. Then she swallowed him all the way to the back of her throat.
"Ugh..."
Her throat was soft and tight. She took him so deep it seemed impossible, then astonishingly used her tongue to lick his balls at the same time.
"Mmph?!"
Her insane technique made Seong-il involuntarily buck his hips. He enjoyed her oral skills for a long time before finally releasing a satisfying load down her throat. Feeling refreshed, he got up.
With a pleased smile from Eun-wol's incredible service, Seong-il got dressed to start the day.
"Alright! Let's go train in martial arts again today! Eun-wol!"
"Of course! Young master!"
Feeling refreshed, Seong-il headed to the training yard with Eun-wol to continue his martial arts practice.
