Unlike what I'd expected—just names and awakening abilities at most—Kang Hye-eun's profile on the Hunter Lust Manager list was incredibly detailed.
Especially the details from our last two encounters, with every aspect of our sex laid out explicitly. The further down I scrolled, the more it recorded things like "number of orgasms," "creampie count," and "achievements unlocked," documenting our relations without missing a beat.
It felt kind of like peeking into Hye-eun's private life, so I couldn't help feeling a little guilty. On top of that, a 3D image—presumably to scale—was spinning around on the screen.
Well, most of the info lower down was just stuff that would embarrass her without being useful to me, so I decided to focus only on the parts of the page I could actually use.
First up: current estimated acquisition points. This was undeniably useful info.
With this, I could tell if Kang Hye-eun was in the mood for sex even if she wasn't nearby. If needed, I could reach out first and suggest taking care of her lust.
More importantly, I could deliberately avoid days when she wasn't feeling it due to her period or something.
Current location was helpful in the same way, obviously.
She'd be at the office most weekdays, making it tough to visit, but knowing where she was on weekends or holidays would definitely come in handy.
And current favorability... I still wasn't sure what level that represented.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ Favorability represents the positive feelings a lust management target Hunter has toward the lust manager. If the target has no feelings toward you, favorability is shown as 0. The closer to 100, the stronger the affection; the closer to -100, the stronger the dislike. Favorability can fluctuate based on affection, trust, compatibility, and other numerical factors toward the lust manager. Generally, higher favorability leads to more points gained after relations. The moment the question popped into my head, a system dialog box appeared, explaining what the app meant by favorability.
I'd thought 60 was a bit iffy at first, but on a scale from -100 to 100, that was pretty high.
Either way, favorability played an important role. I'd need to manage it constantly—no, favor it up—to keep points coming in efficiently.
Just being good at sex wasn't enough; the best way was using the system's features in combination to farm points in various ways.
With my check of Kang Hye-eun's profile done, it was time to look at Cha Yu-ri's.
I figured it'd be pretty much the same, just with her name swapped in.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ ID: 002 👤 Name: Cha Yu-ri ✨ Awakening Ability: Blessing of the Sylph 💖 Current Est. Points: 30 📍 Current Location: (Check) ❤️ Favorability: 40 🔄 Lust Resolutions: 2 💰 Total Points: 110 (Base) + 35 (Bonus) + 100 (Emergency Quest) + Achievements (100) 👥 Partners: 1 It had a bit more stuff tacked on thanks to the emergency quest reward—more than Hye-eun's even—but nothing else noteworthy.
I just confirmed the basics and quietly admired Cha Yu-ri's mage-outfitted 3D model spinning around in my phone.
『Detailed View』
"Come to think of it... what's this?"
I was curious about the detailed view button next to Cha Yu-ri's cute, upright-spinning 3D model, so I tapped it without much thought.
"...Hng."
The instant I pressed it, her clothes vanished completely, leaving a nude Cha Yu-ri spinning merrily inside my phone.
Detailed view lets you see her naked in detail? Who'd have thought.
Even though I'd seen her body plenty of times before, encountering it like this on my phone was unexpected.
"There's a heart-shaped mole on her left butt cheek, huh."
We'd only done face-to-face positions, so I never got a chance to check. Next time we meet, maybe I should verify if it's real.
Anyway, looking closely, Cha Yu-ri was definitely pretty stacked beyond just her breasts...
"Yeah, better stop."
I'd glanced without thinking, but it pricked my conscience a bit, so I quickly tapped detailed view again to restore her to normal.
No actual harm in appreciating a digital nude version of her, but since it was without her consent, I felt a tiny twinge of guilt.
Besides, if I was really curious, I'd have chances to inspect her body next time we met.
...Wait. If Cha Yu-ri has detailed view, that means Hye-eun does too, right?
"Just a quick check on Hye-eun, then."
It was important to confirm the feature worked properly.
I swiped back to Kang Hye-eun's profile. Without hesitation, I hit detailed view, and there they were: massive tits and a soft ass on a whole different scale from Yu-ri's.
Yu-ri had a great figure too if you ignored height and muscle, but honestly, she couldn't quite match Kang Hye-eun's perfect height, chest, and toned muscles.
...It's fine if it's Hye-eun. She's my childhood friend, after all.
We'd bathed naked together as kids anyway. Seeing her nude like this now was totally forgivable.
With that justification, I zoomed in on her naked form on the screen. My other hand gripped my exposed cock, pants and underwear pulled down.
Whether because it had been ages since I'd jerked off instead of having sex, or due to the taboo thrill of masturbating to what felt like Hye-eun's nude pics, the pleasure was top-tier—one of the best I'd ever had. I came hard.
...But I was so worked up that even after one load, the urge didn't fade.
"...Not quite enough."
...In the end, unsatisfied, I went for Cha Yu-ri too. Sorry, Yu-ri.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ After roughly wiping the cum off my dick, it was already past 2 p.m.
I'd been fiddling with my phone forever deciding what to spend my new awakening points on, then lost track of time jacking off. No wonder smartphone addiction is a thing.
That said, I hadn't wasted the morning. Swordsmanship at level 4 and the subspace pouch were solid gains.
Heading back to the Hunter Autonomous Guild now would be awkward timing.
I considered going out anyway—maybe I'd run into another treasure like Cha Yu-ri—but recalling Hye-eun's profile made me realize there was no need.
Current Estimated Acquisition Points: 55 Last time, when the second round started, Hye-eun's points were at 50, right?
Recalling that night before last—she'd been about to suggest a second round but swallowed her words until I brought it up, leading to more sex—she could probably hold out at 55 if she tried.
She'd gone about her daily life normally even after piling up to 80 before I relieved her.
Maybe her Warrior of the Guardian Shield awakening ability gave her higher tolerance than average.
So, if I just waited, she probably wouldn't contact me first.
No need to rush. In a couple days, she'd drop by my place with the groceries from the mart like last time, and I could steer things toward sex subtly then.
But even simpler: the best plan was sex today, then again in two days.
More sex is better than sex.
Decision made, no more hesitation. I opened KakaoTalk and messaged the top chat with Hye-eun.
"Hye-eun, if you're free, want to come over for dinner tonight? I'll make your favorite."
Weird timing, so she might be at lunch or in a dungeon, but she'd reply within an hour or two at latest.
55 was holdable if she wanted, but if she had an excuse not to, she'd jump on it.
Having had sex with me just the night before last, she'd surely read between the lines.
"Oh, quick reply."
My phone buzzed. Opening KakaoTalk, sure enough, the 1-on-1 with Hye-eun had a new message badge.
Perfect timing—must've been her break.
I dove back into the chat to read her message, and watched the badge vanish as I replied.
💬 KakaoTalk Chat — Me "Hye-eun, if you're free, want to come over for dinner tonight? I'll make your favorite." — Hye-eun "Today? Can I request what I want?" — Me "Yeah. But if I don't have the ingredients, you'll have to grab them on your way home." — Hye-eun "That boiled egg curry you made before was so good. Won't it be a hassle if I ask for it out of the blue?" — Me "No problem. Got all the ingredients already, so just bring yourself. What time you getting off?" — Hye-eun "Should be around 5:30 when I get to your place. Text if I'm late." — Me "Cool. I'll be waiting." — Hye-eun "Yeah. Thanks, Tae-kyung." Chatting so casually with Hye-eun like this felt pretty nostalgic. We'd lived next door and barely texted anyway.
But really, it was all thanks to my Hunter awakening ability. Not just getting closer through sex—it was awakening the ability that filled my self-esteem, letting me treat her like before.
Now I finally felt on par with her as a fellow awakened Hunter, so naturally, I could interact with her on equal terms again.
Who am I? The world's one and only male Hunter awakener.
Reaffirming that to myself, I headed downstairs to prep dinner.
Imagining Hye-eun's face—and the awakening points she'd rack up for me tonight.
