Chapter Title: To Catch a Hunter, Go to the Hunter Guild (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After spending half the day indulging in carnal pleasures—and at the very end, falling asleep stacked naked on top of each other on the bed—Kang Hye-eun and I had finally drifted off.
Stretching lazily as I rose from the bed late in the morning, a bit of accumulated fatigue and a slight hunger washed over my body.
Judging by my internal clock, I'd apparently slept in a little. But honestly, it wasn't anything new since I'd been lounging around the house like a total bum for over two months now.
Hye-eun must have slipped out early due to her packed schedule; she was already gone, leaving only the messy traces of our wild night scattered across the bed.
The moment I grabbed my smartphone to check the time, a decent number of notifications popped up.
Instead of diving into the Hunter Lust Manager app first—where five or six alerts were waiting—I checked the KakaoTalk messenger app.
"As expected, it's Kang Hye-eun."
Well, I figured as much. Aside from her, the only person who even knew my KakaoTalk ID was Hye-eun's mom. And the only one who'd message me first thing in the morning was Hye-eun.
I opened our one-on-one chat with "Kang Hye-eun" and read the message she'd left after heading out early.
💬 Message from Hye-eun "Tae-kyung, I've got a schedule this morning to take down a big monster with my party members. I saw your sleeping face and headed out first—sorry! I thought about waking you, but you looked so peacefully out of it, so I let you sleep. And thanks to the sex you gave me last night, I felt light on my feet right from the start today. No worries if you came inside; I'm safe for the next week anyway. I take pills regularly to manage my cycle too. Have a great day! I'll come play again next time! Love you, Tae-kyung!" Reading the message—her unique speech patterns practically oozing from the text—I fired off a casual reply.
💬 My Reply "Yeah. Hit me up next time it builds up again." It was a deliberately nonchalant message, making it clear I'd help her out again next time—just in case she thought last night was a one-off.
Sending something this low-key would probably keep her from reading too much into what happened. For me, the ideal outcome was her seeing it as friends with benefits between childhood pals helping each other out with sexual tension.
After all, now that I'd awakened as the "Hunter Lust Manager," mixing it up with other women besides Hye-eun was inevitable. Girlfriend? Lover? That kind of label would just be shackles right now. Not that I didn't want that with Hye-eun specifically—it just couldn't happen.
Still, last night had been an unexpected windfall.
Not only had I blown past my initial estimate of 80 points, but I'd ended up with a whopping 160—double that.
I was genuinely glad my first partner under this awakening had been Hye-eun.
If I'd missed her visit and gone straight to that 35-point hunter's place instead, even accounting for every possible bonus, I'd have topped out at maybe 50-60 points.
It seemed the base awakening points were boosted quite a bit by Hye-eun's long-pent-up feelings for me.
...Come to think of it, could I just stick with Kang Hye-eun?
Sure, it'd be less efficient than spreading myself across multiple hunters, but I'd secured a stable point farm in her.
Or I could max out points from her until she got unsatisfied with my sex, then branch out.
Even our second round last night had netted around 50 base points. I couldn't expect near-80 every time, but steady 50s would keep the ability running on her alone.
Mulling that over, I opened the Hunter Lust Manager app—only for my lazy thinking to get shut down immediately.
⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ Intentionally engaging repeatedly with the same hunter may result in reduced acquisition points, point recovery, or other penalties. The app popped up a system window warning me about exactly what I'd just been thinking.
I didn't know if it read minds, but one thing was clear: I couldn't sustain this ability on Hye-eun alone.
It's like they're holding a ritual to turn me into a total playboy.
I gave a wry smile at the thought. My "Hunter Lust Manager" awakening basically demanded I become a dedicated cum dump for hunters. Or in this world's terms, a sex slave or fuckboy.
If I'd been born a guy in this world from the start, I'd have rage-quit awakenings altogether—this thing had zero regard for men's rights. On the flip side, it meant I had a unique ability no one else could touch.
Anyway, my mindset was still rooted in my previous world's chastity norms, so I could accept this without much gripe. Hell, getting stronger through sex wasn't a bad deal.
I didn't know the exact limits before point gains tapered off, but one or two repeats were fine. We'd done it twice last night, and points came both times, so it was probably just warning against over-relying on one person.
And worst case, no points didn't block the sex itself—I could always skip points and focus on banging if needed.
To properly leverage this ability, I needed to service multiple hunters properly, no half-measures. That's probably what the system wanted.
The thought of other hunters brought Hye-eun's mom next door to mind for a split second, but I shook my head to banish the impure idea.
That'd be insane. Right after sleeping with her daughter? Touching her mom too?
She'd helped me out so much growing up; ruining that would wreck their family and repay kindness with betrayal.
The priority was finding other hunters for extra points while keeping things steady with Hye-eun. Ideally, someone unconnected to her guild.
Before scouting outside, I switched to the menu screen to spend last night's haul.
📱 Main Menu Skill Unlock >> Point Shop (Deactivated) Achievements (NEW!) >> Current Lust-Managed Hunter List (NEW!) >> Nearby Hunters Search >> Compared to yesterday's screen full of "Deactivated" tags, a few new options had unlocked in the base menu. All from banging just one hunter.
I could go straight for Skill Unlock as planned, but something told me "Achievements" might yield freebies first.
Adding an "Achievements" tab to a Hunter Lust Manager implied rewards. Maybe snag 10-20 extra points before skills.
Opening Achievements confirmed my hunch right away, as a system box explained "First Achievement Rewards" and "Repeat Achievement Counts."
First Achievement Rewards complete upon first completion, granting 50 points once regardless of target. Repeat Achievement Counts accumulate per repeat, granting a bonus 5 points automatically each time, regardless of target. First Achievements were like challenge quests; Repeats like dailies. Got it.
Heading into First Achievements, three unlocked rewards awaited from last night. I claimed them all without hesitation.
🏆 ACHIEVEMENTS UNLOCKED 🏆 First Sex with a Female Hunter First Creampie in a Female Hunter First Taking a Female Hunter's Virginity +150 Points (50 each)!
Getting points from sex and then saying this feels hypocritical, but these achievements were straight-up sleazy—no runner-up here.
First sex or creampie? Fine. But "Taking a Virginity" as a reward? Come on.
I'd just wanted Hye-eun's first time like any normal guy (by my old world's standards), but it ended up looking like I'd begged for her cherry to farm 50 points.
...Whatever. Results are results.
The rest showed as "???", hidden until experienced. Guess I'd have to bang Hye-eun and others to reveal them.
The repeat counts were equally embarrassing.
🔄 Repeat Achievements Virgin Graduation Bonus +5 (1 Achievement) Creampie Bonus +10 (2 Achievements) Simultaneous Orgasm Bonus +10 (2 Achievements) Consecutive Ejaculation Bonus +5 (1 Achievement) Those mystery "Bonus" numbers next to base points last night? Extras like these auto-tallied on top.
Virgin bonus? What the hell. It was so perfectly tuned to pimp me out it almost felt malicious, leaving my head a bit fuzzy. But results don't lie—I had to accept it.
...At least the points piled up nice.
These were excuses for extras, and denying them changed nothing.
Repeats seemed infinite, handing out ways to farm more points going forward.
Time climaxes with your partner for creampie + simultaneous orgasm? That's +20 easy.
Ten times gets a skill; stack 'em up and it's real power.
After claiming everything, my total awakening points hit 310.
Way past my 100-point goal—enough for three skills with change left over. Deep thanks to Hye-eun for this one-night gift.
Hunter Lust Manager system is invincible. Hye-eun is a goddess.
Points? Earn 'em with Hye-eun sex.
Skills? Buy 'em with Hye-eun sex points.
Praising her endlessly in my mind, I jumped into Skill Unlock and grabbed Swordsmanship Lv. 1 first—the one I'd eyed since yesterday.
I prioritized it over others because it was my strongest suit.
Awakening abilities usually stemmed from the user's desires, and back in middle school, mine had been swordsmanship.
Why? Simple: the hunter who saved me at the amusement park used a sword.
That retired hunter reactivating her powers just to protect me, mowing down B-rank monsters—it burned into my brain.
Plus, childhood friend Hye-eun had awakened shield skills first. To fight alongside her someday, frontline swordplay synced best with her.
Right after middle school graduation, I'd flailed at everything in a messy headspace, but swordsmanship was my longest, deepest pursuit. The swordsman's soul still burned brightest in me.
And now, maybe I could stand beside Hye-eun and make that old dream real.
Not right away, but stacking points into sword skills steadily? Someday I'd swing blades next to A-rank Hye-eun without dragging her down.
Then, our middle-school dream of duo hunting—sword and shield, backs to each other—might come true.
I couldn't match her veteran moves yet, but at least once, I'd love that party hunt trusting each other completely.
Meanwhile, the other two skills had issues for now.
Flame Magic? Zero prep like my sword training—would take ages to get comfy.
Healing? Party-only meaningful, pointless solo. And a male awakener claiming "I'm a healer"?
This world has no male awakeners. I'd get labeled a delusional psycho, not a hunter. Solo healing dungeon runs? Suicide. Wasting points now was just burning cash.
Swordsmanship was the clear winner: familiar, solo-viable, and I had that greatsword I'd impulse-bought as a teen.
⚔ SKILL UNLOCKED ⚔ Swordsmanship Lv. 1: 0/100 → Lv. 3: 0/300 200 Points Invested
Looks like 100 points per level-up. Still, I dumped all 200 remaining into maxing Swordsmanship to Lv. 3.
No clue on its power yet—better safe with higher levels.
-Rrrumble.
"Haven't taken this out in ages..."
Grabbing my dusty greatsword from storage, I headed out for the first time in months.
Time to test Lv. 3 swordsmanship firsthand. And at 300 points down, I was critically low for real action.
To hunt monsters, monster hunters hit dungeons. Lust Managers? Hunter Guilds for prey.
