Chapter Title: 008. Money Copying Totally Doable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I converted another 7 million won from the remaining cash and used Copy. My lower abdomen started aching, a sharp, stinging pain shooting up from my prostate.
"Kuh…!"
Still, this time it was somewhat bearable. Did I shoot so much already that I'm running out of semen? Anyway, checking confirmed my coins had increased to 3,400.
"Fuck yeah! This is it!"
The additional 700 coins, doubled to make 1,700 total added. What did this mean?
'The copy target resets when the amount changes!'
Coins that had already been copied once couldn't be duplicated, but newly added ones could clearly be copied again.
In my haste, I converted my entire account balance—even down to the ten-thousand-won units—into coins and immediately used Copy.
The original amount was 9.86 million won, so by my calculations, that should add double the 286 coins: 572 more.
"Gaaah!"
Unlike before, it felt like my balls were being yanked out whole. But even as I writhed in agony, my eyes were glued to the coin count in the shop window.
-Held Coins: 3,972
"Coin copying is OP…"
Finally, I cashed out everything except 1,000 coins, then tried Copy again—and sure enough, the "duplicate copy impossible" message popped up. That confirmed it.
"Heh… ugh…"
A sound escaped my lips, half laugh, half sob. Seeing a way out of this shitty rooftop room at last—it made my chest tighten up for no damn reason.
'Gotta max out coins and multiply like crazy!'
Of course, today's massive windfall was thanks to the lingering Copy efficiency buff. Even after it ends, it's still a whopping 30%. If the effect scales with skill level, it could go even higher.
'Tch, nowhere to borrow money?'
The buff lasts until Monday afternoon. I had to scrape together some quick cash before then and multiply it. Hands-free ejaculation pain? Who gives a shit.
"…Ah, damn it."
Snapping back to reality, a curse slipped out naturally.
The damp feeling in my lower abdomen made me want to die of shame. Time for a shower and fresh underwear.
I spent Sunday morning lounging around. The only productive thing I did was use my credit card to apply for a card loan and cash advance to build seed money.
My credit was decent, so I could withdraw a total of 17 million won. A bank loan would've been nice, but the buff ends tomorrow afternoon, and bank loans rarely deposit same-day anyway.
"Alright."
This time, I jerked off first, then copied the coins. With several of Yoo Ha-ram's photobook spreads up on my monitor and memories of sex with Yu-ra Noona, I got hard in seconds.
After converting to cash and canceling the loan, my account now had a clean 17 million won extra.
That brought my total cash to about 47 million won. In just one day, my principal had nearly quintupled. Time to start house-hunting.
"…What do I even tell Yu-ra Noona?"
Was it because she was my first, making her special? Or maybe that warmth she showed me stuck with me? Imagining sneaking around with other women behind her back already had my conscience stabbing at me.
Could I give up Yu-ra Noona? Honestly, no clue. It felt weird agonizing over it when we weren't even officially dating.
But even if it wasn't that kind of relationship, her presence was essential if I wanted to make it as a Hunter. Who else would give endless advice to a total newbie like me?
…No matter how I spun it, I felt like absolute trash. Fuck. Even if I was trash already, I had no defense.
I'd sworn to my late parents not to live shamefully, but here I was—not just drugging Noona with an aphrodisiac, but planning to exploit her kindness too.
As my worries spiraled, my phone buzzed. Of course, it was Yu-ra Noona.
"Hello?"
[Seong-han-ah, what're you up to? Eaten yet?]
"Yeah, around 9… kinda."
[Up early? Lunch yet?]
"Nah."
[Wanna grab something tasty out? Or at home?]
Why did the last part sound all nasal? Oh right—the aphrodisiac effect was still active.
But why'd she let me go home so easily yesterday? Was her care for me stronger than her lust?
[Seong-han-ah?]
Lost in thought, I heard Noona's puzzled voice.
"Uh… What're you in the mood for, Noona?"
[Anything's fine. Just wanna see you.]
So straightforward—it made turning her down feel guilty. I finally said I'd head over and hung up.
Yeah, figures. Lunch my ass.
Yu-ra Noona was on me at the door, lips locked on mine until my dick stood at full attention. I finally made it to the sofa after dumping loads in her mouth and pussy once each.
"…That good, huh?"
"Just your hand touching me gets me soaked down there. Baby♡ Stop teasing♡"
I had her pulled against me from behind, fondling her tits. If we stayed naked, conversation was impossible—so I stuffed my raging hard-on back in my pants by force.
"Hey, Noona."
"Whaaat?"
Women drag out their words when acting cute, huh? For real. How was this woman turning thirty in two days? She looked and acted my age.
'Driving me crazy for real.'
Did I have to sneak off to fuck other women while having this one? If only there was a solid excuse… Wait.
A bit forced, maybe, but one that might actually work on Yu-ra Noona popped into my head. If it played out as I hoped, I could keep getting her help without issues.
"Uh, y'see. I actually have something serious to discuss."
"What?"
"Think I've awakened."
"…Huh?"
Yu-ra Noona blinked blankly.
Well, yeah—going from wild sex to tit-groping on the sofa, then dropping "I've awakened." How out-of-left-field was that?
"For real? Not joking?"
"Who jokes about this shit?"
"…Hold on."
She hurried to her room and came back with a large box—some kind of machine.
"Put your hand flat on top here?"
"What's this?"
"Portable mana tester. If you've awakened as a Hunter, it'll react."
What gadgetry. Following her instructions, I placed my hand on the glass plate in the center.
"Might tingle a bit, but it won't hurt, so relax."
"Got it, go for it."
She pressed a few buttons and slowly turned the dial. At about a third rotation, just like she said, my palm prickled all over.
"Holy shit…!"
"Well?"
"Definitely awakened. Get a precise reading when you license at the Association. How's your stat allocation? Skill traits? Stamina and mana high?"
Her researcher instincts kicking in, Yu-ra Noona rapid-fired questions in excitement. Her face lit up more than during orgasm.
"Uh, well…"
"S-sorry. Not supposed to pry like that."
She apologized, flustered, but it was a relief for me—no need for long explanations.
"Actually, that's why I'm worried. My skill's kinda unique."
"How so?"
"To level up, I need to ejaculate as much as possible. Jerking or sex."
"Eh?"
"The skill resource is semen. Normal skills grow with use, right?"
What reaction would she have? Waiting anxiously, she bit her lip silently, face serious.
"Noona?"
"One sec."
She held up a hand to stop me, leaving me awkwardly waiting. Curious about her state, I used Scan—and an unexpected message appeared.
[Han Yu-ra is using High-Speed Calculation.]
Marking lets me check not just actions and states, but skill usage too? Good info.
"Seong-han-ah."
"Yeah?"
"If what you say is true, you need to meet as many women as possible."
"…Excuse me?"
What the hell? Did that really come from Noona's mouth? Stunned, her words continued.
"Solo jerking has limits. I can't be with you 24/7, so the best is max sex with multiple women."
"No, Noona, that's…"
Normally, you'd suspect bullshit first. I'd planned to dodge like that, but her jumping ahead threw me. She gripped my hand firmly, face resolute.
"Hunters usually awaken skills matching their personality or traits. Your stamina was insane—I should've known."
"R-really?"
Smart to begin with, plus High-Speed Calculation—she'd logically pieced it together. Some misunderstanding, but no need to correct it.
"A normal guy cumming over ten times a day nonstop? I'd have died without being a Hunter. And your size is god-given."
"…Can't argue there."
In reality, it was the stamina stat boost now, but yeah, my size was always exceptional. Maybe awakening this skill was fate, like she said.
"Growing skills without dungeons is huge. No need to hunt parties, and safest of all."
"…You okay with that, Noona?"
It was like a girlfriend greenlighting free flings. Even if not official, I figured she'd have some possessiveness.
'…Am I disappointed?'
As if reading my mind, she leaned her face on my shoulder, a hint of sadness.
"…Seong-han-ah."
"Yeah?"
"I don't wanna block your future out of selfishness. This is real. As a Hunter senior, separate from trusting you."
"…"
"Like I said, just occasionally… No. Being your first is enough."
"Noona."
"But never, ever reveal your ability. More secrets, safer in Hunter world. And stat allocation…"
Couldn't listen anymore. I pulled Yu-ra Noona into a tight hug.
"I'm never abandoning you. Never could."
"…"
"So no more nonsense—keep helping me loads. I'm just high school grad, know zilch about Hunters. Can't do it without you."
Not a confession. I like her, but not "love" yet.
But from this moment, no way I'd ditch her first. If it ended as one-night fun, that's on me.
Since leaving the orphanage, she was the first to treat me this sincerely. Whatever the future, I'd never forget her.
"Gotta get Hunter license ASAP, study industry basics. No one else to ask but you."
"…Yeah. Noona'll handle it all. Just trust me."
"For real?"
"For real. So first…"
Her voice turned sultry. Her hand was sneaking into my pants.
"Noona's gonna celebrate your awakening big time♡"
Ha, this vixen. Wonder if she'll be like this post-aphrodisiac.
Monday came, but I didn't go to the library. Yu-ra Noona handled sick leave so I could register at the Association right away.
Lost today's pay, but who cares? My account already had over two years' part-time wages.
"Alright, let's go."
Taking a deep breath, I slowly approached the gleaming building. The huge sign at the entrance thrilled me.
<Korea Hunter Association Seoul Branch>
Today, at last, I'd get my license and become an official Hunter.
