Chapter Title: Must Seduce
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After sleeping in all morning and digging into brunch, a message popped up from Sin Ju-yeon.
[You up? Text back when you see this?]
[Yeah, stuffing my face right now]
[Gotta head to the Association. When you free?]
[Why there?]
[Training's done. Need to register and collect settlement.]
[Settlement? What's that?]
[Party Practice split.]
Eh? There was payout for that? Sure, the rule was to appraise loot from Party Practice and divvy it up.
But I'd ridden the bus the whole time, so it hadn't even crossed my mind.
[Even for training?]
[Yeah, they give it out after solo clears too.]
[Why not early?]
[Details when we meet. So when can you go?]
[Monday's fine, even right away.]
[Meet at 10 in front of the Association?]
[OK]
Monday morning's gonna be busy. I set my phone down and picked up my bread again when another message from Sin Ju-yeon rolled in.
[Whatcha up to this weekend?]
She's bored, huh. Makes sense—she could just be checking in on a friend.
[Got plans this afternoon.]
[Tomorrow?]
[Plans tomorrow too, back late evening?]
[Mr. Popular.]
[lol bored? Wanna hang with oppa?]
……Did I overdo the joke? I'd tossed it out remembering high school vibes, but maybe it rubbed her wrong.
But her reply was unexpected.
[Hit me up if you're free for food.]
[Sorry, kinda jammed up. Let's aim for Monday.]
[OK, have fun this weekend.]
[You too, rest up.]
I stared blankly at my phone after checking the messages.
"……What the hell."
Word was, if a girl suggests grabbing a bite first, she's into you. Or not?
'Should've dated to know, damn it.'
Boys' middle and high school meant almost zero chats with girls my age. Comparing to Yu-ra Noona or Jeong Se-hee was even weirder.
"……No clue."
What if she can't forget the way I touched her in the dungeon……? Nah.
She didn't seem to read much into it when I brought it up.
Anyway, finish eating. I chomped on my jam-slathered bread and hopped onto the Hunter Gallery.
[Title: Same budget—weapons vs armor]
Got some spare cash for gear. Which first?
I'm AD carry btw.
└Right now dungeon
└Dungeon later
└Get cost-effective stuff first, duh
└What if both are?
└How even judge cost-effective?
└Armor usually, regardless of role
└└22222
└└Others can DPS, but you only got one life
└AD carry, tanking that crucial?
└Solo? Ancestors cover you? AD solo drops 2 ranks standard, DPS plenty
└Yeah even AD prioritizes tanking solo
"Hmm……."
I'd been pondering gear anyway, and this post gave me direction. Armor first, for sure.
'Won't be frontline in parties anyway.'
People don't expect DPS from supports. Even if sub as AD carry, no ranged skills anyway.
Plus, after tasting real combat this time, I'd gotten hooked on melee. That live-wire thrill of trading blows.
'Stats……allocate after next dungeon.'
90 points left after pumping Vitality last time. Copy blows it to 180.
If I'd opened random boxes first for Copy Lv4, could've saved on Vitality, but hindsight's endless. Just tuition paid.
'Current muscle total 190…….'
Dump leftovers and it's A-rank locked. Copy Jeong Se-hee and Sin Ju-yeon on top?
"Whoa, fuck."
Quick math: around 1500.
Lv23 with S-rank stats? For real?
And I can recopy my own anytime, no permanent slot needed. Full buffs with a spare slot.
'……Missing Im Yu-ha bad.'
Stats aside, her skills tempt too much.
Sin Ju-yeon's Lance Mastery alone was nuts. Add Battle Mastery and Mana Mastery? Support turned main carry no problem.
"Tch."
How to mark that monster woman?
Seduction's near impossible, feeding semen no cakewalk.
Grab Im Yu-ha's status and muscle total tops 2000. Solid S-rank, not scraping by.
Just gotta keep it up.
Can't relax on permanent with random shit happening.
"……Overthinking."
Excitement deflated.
Solid copies now: just Yu-ra Noona and Jeong Se-hee.
Sin Ju-yeon's active but skill ups don't auto-refresh—still 50%.
'Im Yu-ha later. Sin Ju-yeon first.'
Pheromone skill might work somehow. Table that, cleared the dishes after eating.
Yu-ra Noona coming afternoon—stock up groceries. Steak tonight, no question.
***
Sex with Yu-ra Noona's always fire. Especially the cuddle after—pure peace.
Early days, lost in bliss, blasting loads nonstop. Now we savor like this.
……Three rounds straight ain't exactly "savor," but whatever.
"Noona."
"Hm?"
Curled in my arms, she lifted her head with a sleepy voice.
"Heard of adamantite?"
"Yeah. Super rare mineral worldwide."
Guidebook had facts only. No real cash value, no item performance.
Net searches bombed too. What I wanted?
"How to make weapons or armor from it?"
"Amount's tiny, so alloy with other metals usually. Processing's a bitch—not melt and forge, gotta powder metallurgy."
"Powder metallurgy?"
"Fine particles at high heat. Like firing pottery, sorta?"
Still Greek. Bottom line: no standard crafting.
'Can Jeong Se-hee handle?'
Planned to sell through her anyway, fee or not.
Solo, might undervalue, plus exposure risk.
"Why adamantite outta nowhere?"
"Gear shopping, got curious. Top material item out there?"
"True. Owners worldwide? Handful. Korea's got a few."
"Here too?"
"Yoo Ha-ram's sword and breastplate? Adamantite alloy."
Yoo Ha-ram again? She's everywhere.
Fair—Korea rank 1 needs that gear. Wanna scan stats if we cross paths.
While zoning out, Yu-ra Noona nuzzled my chest.
"Plans ahead? Mostly solo?"
"For now, yeah……but parties if possible. Site for intros?"
"Bad luck means weirdos. No guild?"
"Applying first looks desperate. Wanna grind skills solo too."
More like inflate value max before joining.
Good supports are rare—hot after healers, tanks.
'Anyone can fake it sans killer skills.'
Jeong Se-hee once pushed Tris Guild. Her rec gets free pass.
Declined—too soon. Hit her up anytime mind changes. Not planning to.
Felt eyes, glanced—Yu-ra Noona grinning atop me.
"Noona."
"Yeah?"
"You look pretty like that."
"Not usually?"
"Uh……."
Déjà vu. Infinite question hell, guy panic mode?
"Pfft."
Brain blanked, blinking—giggling, she toyed my earlobe.
"Cute."
"……Noona's sneaky mean, y'know?"
"Yup. Project teammates probably cursed me inside—'that bitch Han Yu-ra.'"
"Eep……."
Kneel and apologize now? Brain not blank—KO'd.
"Best person to me."
"You're fooled."
"Really? Gotta test sincerity then."
"How?"
"Face cute, but below? Different story."
Confident, I rose—she yanked the blanket, spread legs.
"Know what?"
"What?"
"Seeing your dick……."
She parted her pussy lips with fingers, beaming.
Drip.
Thick nectar oozed from the slit, pooling on sheets. Glossy clit beaded like a pearl atop.
"……Gets soaked like this."
"Pussy ready to go."
"So use it quick♡"
My cock was rock-hard ages ago. Spreading like that? No reaction'd be weird.
I gripped her thighs, gliding glans from entrance to root along her folds.
"Hah……don't tease……."
Swollen clit brushed—teasingly addictive. Like dosing pleasure drops.
'Try it this time?'
New skill debut always Yu-ra Noona. Most frequent fuckbuddy—unavoidable.
Switched Pheromone on, pressed glans to her hole.
Squelch—
"Ah, aaah……."
"Noona, open up."
"Mmph……!"
Covered her lips, fed pooled spit gently. Wonder her reaction.
"Hah♡ Slurp♡"
……Oh? Tongue work's off today?
