Chapter Title: Level Up (1)

The first thing to do was, of course, check the total amount of Awakening Points I'd accumulated so far.
I needed to know exactly how many points I had on hand before I could decide which skills to unlock.
After having sex with Kang Hye-eun the night before last and unlocking Swordsmanship level 3, I had 10 points left over.
From my first time with Cha Yu-ri in the Ancient Tree Graveyard, I'd gotten 180 points.
And from our second round at the hotel the same day, another 65 points.
By the numbers alone, that meant I should have at least 255 Awakening Points remaining—and sure enough, that's exactly what I had.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Skill Unlock >> Point Shop (NEW!) >> Achievement Milestones (NEW!) >> Current Lust Management Hunter List (NEW!) >> Nearby Hunters Search >> Remaining Awakening Points: 255 Points didn't seem to have any expiration date once earned. The 10 points left over from before were still there intact, and adding in the new ones brought my total to 255.
Of course, this was just the minimum from what I'd earned so far. With the new notification on the Achievement Milestones menu, there were probably extra rewards from first-time achievements unlocked as well.
⚙ ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED ⚙ "Sex Inside a Dungeon" "Ejaculate in Two Different Positions" ...Just as I thought.
The achievements were still as inscrutable as ever in intent, but free points were free points. I claimed both rewards right away.
"Sex Inside a Dungeon" obviously referred to my first time with Cha Yu-ri, and "Two Different Positions" had to be from the hotel, when she rode me on top until I came.
Holding her up in the air and thrusting into her missionary-style apparently counted as missionary too.
I'd set up the situations leading to sex with her, but in truth, she'd basically handed me both achievements on a platter.
She'd already given me 100 points by her own design through the Emergency Quest, but to throw in extras like this too...
I sent a silent thank-you to Cha Yu-ri in my heart for those 100 points.
Her stripping off her clothes carelessly in the dungeon because she was too lazy to bother, and her riding me desperately from on top just to make me cum inside her—all that effort had turned straight into my Awakening Points.
Thank you always, Yu-ri.
"Come to think of it, what got added to the repeatable achievements?"
Remembering the mystery bonus 5 points from my first time with Cha Yu-ri, I checked the newly unlocked repeatable achievements next.
Since repeatables seemed to trigger every time I had sex, they could come in handy not just with her, but with Hye-eun or anyone else too.
As I flipped to the repeatable achievements screen, I saw that one of the ??? entries had been revealed.
⚔ REPEATABLE ACHIEVEMENTS ⚔ Virgin Graduation Bonus +10 (2 achievements) Creampie Bonus +20 (4 achievements) Simultaneous Orgasm Bonus +20 (4 achievements) Consecutive Ejaculation Bonus +5 (1 achievement) Mental Healing Bonus +10 (2 achievements) So the bonus that came in was the Mental Healing Bonus, huh.
It must've been from when I called the insecure Cha Yu-ri about her height and figure pretty and hugged her—apparently that counted on a whim.
From what I could tell, most of these repeatables were tied to making the woman happy, so if I kept following my instincts and focusing on her satisfaction like always, I'd keep racking up these little bonuses as Awakening Points.
Just keep doing what I'm doing.
I considered jumping straight to the Skill Unlock menu after finishing with achievements, but first, I checked out the new Point Shop.
Whether I upgraded Swordsmanship to level 4 or unlocked something else and got it to 3, I'd still have at least 55 points left. Maybe I could buy something useful with that.
Like a greatsword better than my current one, or a dedicated staff in case I unlocked Flame Magic.
The Point Shop actually had some impressive-looking weapons going for 70-80 points. As I browsed, I started to waver a bit.
Spending 70-80 points on a half-decent greatsword or staff felt shortsighted— I'd run short when upgrading skills later.
It was a shame to buy now when I might afford better stuff down the line. I knew that wasn't the hunter mindset, but what could I do?
More importantly, I didn't want to blow Awakening Points on stuff I could buy with real money if I saved up.
Money could get me a Damascus greatsword or oak staff eventually, but Awakening Points were for things money couldn't touch.
Even if earning points was easier than cash right now, there had to be a lifetime limit on how many I could farm. My stamina wasn't infinite.
All things considered, investing points in weapons at this stage wasn't smart. Maybe once I had skills leveled and some spare points.
As I moved to close the shop and head back to the menu, one item caught my eye.
🛒 POINT SHOP ITEM 🛒 (Bound Item) Subspace Pouch: Stores up to 200 items across 100 categories. Price: 50 points (50% discount active)
A Subspace Pouch that could hold up to 200 items across 100 categories.
It was exactly what I needed—I'd been thinking I should get a monster material pouch anyway.
Hunter material pouches compressed dungeon loot into minimal volume and weight, but as pinnacle modern tech, they weren't cheap.
Plus, this Subspace Pouch wasn't limited to materials like the regular ones. Holding 200 items across 100 categories? Absurd efficiency.
But what really tempted me was the 50-point price—and that tagline.
'Currently 50% off.'
Time deals always had that irresistible pull.
Before I knew it, my Awakening Points had dropped to 305.
Subspace Pouch, purchased.
To use the Subspace Pouch, simply think "use Subspace Pouch." To store, place items inside the pouch's space. To retrieve, visualize the item in your mind. If you forget what's inside or want to empty it, use "Empty Pouch" to clear everything. After checking the system's usage instructions, I immediately visualized the Subspace Pouch.
"Whoa..."
I marveled at the rift that tore open in space like it had always been there.
Testing it out, I shoved nearby stuff like clothes and a pen inside, then pulled them back by picturing them. It worked flawlessly.
Even "Empty Pouch" functioned perfectly, bringing a satisfied smile to my face.
"Now this was a steal."
Replicating something like this in the real world would cost billions at least.
Snagging it for points from just a couple rounds of sex? Bargain. Even full price at 100 would be worth it.
Finally, I opened the pouch and stored my trusty greatsword, my companion through thick and thin. I'd worried about its size, but it went in and came out fine.
Now it held just the greatsword. No more lugging this heavy thing on my back everywhere.
In a fight, I could summon it instantly—way more efficient.
With the pouch testing done, I headed straight to Skill Unlock and dumped my remaining points into bumping Swordsmanship to level 4.
✨ SKILL UPGRADE! ✨ Swordsmanship Lv. 3 → Lv. 4 Healing was tempting, but Swordsmanship came first.
Who knew when I'd get another 300-point windfall like this?
Level 3 was mid-tier C-to-B Rank Hunter efficiency, so 4 should be solid B-Rank at least.
To rank up as a hunter, specializing in one thing beat spreading points thin.
That's why I aimed to get my sword skills to at least B-Rank level.
"Hmm..."
Skills upgraded, Subspace Pouch acquired—today's to-do list was pretty much done.
But the Hunter Lust Manager app had one last new thing to check.
⚙ SYSTEM MENU ⚙ Current Lust Management Hunter List (NEW!) >> This menu had been flashing two alarms on the main screen since day one, but I'd never opened it—blinded by Swordsmanship awakening and points, even after Hye-eun.
The two alarms obviously meant Hye-eun and Yu-ri. Sure enough, as the screen switched, there they were on the list.
But the details were way more extensive than I'd expected.
⚔ HUNTER PROFILE ⚔ 📛 ID: 001 👤 Name: Kang Hye-eun ✨ Awakening Ability: Warrior of the Guardian Shield 💰 Est. Points: 55 📍 Current Location: (Check) ❤️ Favorability: 60 🔥 Lust Resolutions: 2 💰 Total Points Earned: 130 (Base) + 30 (Bonus) + 150 (Achievements) 👫 Partners: 1 ...Isn't this a bit much?
