"Detection."
Lying in bed, I sorted through my thoughts. About the gangsters. The ones they called the Young-chul Crew.
"Detection."
The big mart. About a twenty-minute walk from here. A massive place, just as the name implied. Four floors above ground and one below.
"Detection."
There were originally supposed to be seventeen of them, but I'd taken out three, leaving fourteen. They probably hadn't recruited any small fry in the meantime. Still, I wouldn't put blind faith in that number. I'd have to see for myself.
"Detection."
A big mart... Infiltration shouldn't be too hard. Plenty of entrances. But the real issue was the CCTV. No blind spots inside a place like that.
"Detection."
The exact type of place I hated most. If only I could cut the power. But where would that even be in a big mart? Could I do something like I did at the officetel?
"Detection."
They'd have a transformer there too. Cut that, and my detection would give me an overwhelming edge. But would they really have no precautions?
"Detection."
Ugh. This is exhausting.
I cracked open a Small Recovery Potion and downed it in one go. The drained feeling in my body started to fill back up.
Roughly twenty uses of Detection, and my body sends a signal. A polite little warning that I might keel over if I push it.
Luckily, one Small Recovery Potion takes care of it. At 2,000 coins a pop...
Well, if I think of it as buying skill proficiency with coins, it's not that bad... Or is it? A hundred coins per use. Pretty pricey, huh? Still cheaper than my life, though.
"Detection."
Anyway... Cutting the power or securing a CCTV blind spot—neither is easy. So, a long game?
That might actually be better. Pick them off one by one. No way they're all huddled in one spot.
"Detection."
Civilians might band together naturally, but those bastards are playing gangster. Those fucking show-off pricks.
Guys who strut around ganging up on a lone target? Hmm... Not sure. Street punks might.
"Detection."
Whatever. I've got confidence. If it comes to it, just burn the place down. Think fourteen guys can guard a whole big mart? No chance.
"Detection."
The bunker's strength is that no one knows about it. Convenience and security are nice, but the best part is the secrecy. Having its location exposed and someone gunning for it? That's a disadvantage from the start.
"Detection."
That's why grouping up isn't worth it. Sure, bigger size means more power, but way more headaches.
Plus, balancing that power is tricky. Grouping up... It's a dumb move.
"Detection."
How many left? 96.4. Nine more to go? No potion needed. Anyway, those gangsters aren't much worry.
It's not like I haven't taken down a couple already...
"Detection."
For now, I was most curious what changes at 100 proficiency. Probably the range expands, right?
Currently 25m. How much will it grow? 50m? That'd be huge. If it goes 25, 50, 75, 100... Jackpot...
"Detection."
Early on, it's jumping 0.4% per use, so grind while I can. I'd love to max it to advanced before going, but that'd take forever. And a ton of potions.
"Detection."
Besides range, what else might improve? Duration? Positions last 10 seconds now. If that extends? Nice too.
Worst case is no range increase. It's good now, but no growth on range would make the 300k coin price tag feel like a ripoff.
"Detection."
Five more. What's gonna improve? Heart's racing. What a cheat skill. Makes me wanna dance.
How many in this world picked this skill? It's strong, but probably not many chose it first.
"Detection."
Back when we picked our first skills, no one thought people would slaughter each other this brutally.
Sure, killers existed, but that was when family, friends, colleagues, and alliances mattered.
"Detection."
So no one obsessed over detecting humans. Plus, getting this first means huge personal sacrifice.
What good is detecting people if they just kill you? Who'd bet their life on it?
"Detection."
Intermediate Nearby Human Detection Skill
Range and duration increased
Protection? Team? Group? Meaningless. Sure, you'd get VIP treatment—if you survive.
Detection's great, but it doesn't stop violence. Or maybe it does. Good for survival.
"Detection."
If someone who picked Detection first is still alive, they're terrifying. High proficiency too. Hunting them down would be no joke.
How do you find and kill a solo map hacker? Unless you luck into them hiding asleep somewhere unnoticed.
Alright. Last one.
"Detection."
Oh. Hit Intermediate Nearby Human Detection Skill.
Well... What changed? Drumroll.
"Detection."
First... Timed it, presence lasts about 12 seconds now, up from 10. Please don't let that be it.
I threw on my parka and stepped out of the bunker. Activated Detection and moved—felt Seung-hee. Just need to step 25m out...
Oh! There it is! Jackpot. Range increased! Question is how much.
Activated again and kept walking. Hard to measure straight-line with buildings, but roughly 50m.
Jackpot! Fucking insane! Total cheat!
Within a 50m radius around me, nothing but Seung-hee. Fucking human radar. Nothing to fear.
Thrilled, I headed back to the bunker.
Shower, eat, then test this bullshit skill more.
Suddenly, the world felt easy. No more sneaking scared.
Quick shower, scarf down food, but something's missing. Ah. Got it.
Down another Small Recovery Potion and unlock Seung-hee's room.
I enter naked, and she strips on her own.
Miraculous. Truly.
I indulged in her soft breasts and lips, then plunged my rock-hard cock into her wet pussy.
Seung-hee, now embracing the pleasure, expresses freely. Moans loud when it feels good.
"Me... huff... gonna go fuck up... haa... that Young-chul bastard."
Said it thrusting hard, out of breath—not the coolest delivery, but Seung-hee's eyes widened in understanding.
"Kill him... haa... that bastard... ahh... kill... ugh... definitely!"
Her reaction intensifies. Her pussy clamps my cock like it won't let go.
The pleasure surges several times stronger. I dump a thick load deep inside her and flop down beside.
"Haa... haa... I'll take pics... huff."
Phone's dead for calls, but camera works.
Seung-hee turns to face me.
"Definitely... kill him. That fucking bastard."
She climbs on top, presses close, and kisses me.
Sucks my lips hungrily, trails down my neck, chest... ends at my cock.
Then starts sucking my laid-back cock eagerly.
Like a shaman blessing a tribesman warrior before tribal war.
Licks, sucks, strokes devotedly. Jerks it while tonguing my balls.
Super clumsy, but that noble effort has my cock throbbing ready to burst.
After a while, she mounts me.
Her lowering herself, pussy devouring my cock. Awkward hip circles and grinds.
Not intense stimulation, but her initiative was stimulating enough.
Unable to hold back, I sit up, hug her, and flip her face-down on the bed.
Grab her plump ass in doggy, thrust deep.
"Ahh. Good. Aaang. That bastard. Hng. Kill that bastard. Haang."
Moan or cry? Lost in pleasure, she chants her victory spell in her own tongue.
Fueled by it, I blast another fierce load deep inside her.
Leave her collapsed, immobile from exhaustion, and exit the room.
Lock the door, peek through the small window once more.
Want to return after it's done, ram her again.
Show her pics of the gangsters on death's door.
Would she like that? Yeah, she would.
Shower again, gear up warmly.
It's cold out. Who knows what'll happen. Sane people don't go out this winter.
Thermal underwear, fleece pants, parka... Layered to avoid freezing. Sling on my usual backpack.
A bit bulkier with the parka, but whatever. I've got Detection.
Grab the crossbow, add earmuffs to my hat.
Used to be luxury—couldn't miss tiny sounds.
Better cold ears than death, right? But now it's fine.
Fucking hail Detection skill. Fuck yeah.
Snowflakes falling now, weren't when I checked earlier.
Whoa. Killer atmosphere. Yeah. Bring it.
I activated Detection and strode boldly down the street's center—unlike before.
