Price...
Fuck, does this even make sense?
Even fleeting connections were registered. From Abyss Miner, there were Pockmark and Viper, the innkeeper, the blacksmith, and miners I'd bumped into on the street.
In the Famous Fiction world, even Sam-wol and the court ministers were there. If I skim the major characters, it's about this vibe.
"This is insanely expensive, for fuck's sake."
I had 500P right now...
That wouldn't even cover a few temporary summons, let alone permanent ones.
Permanent summons cost 100 times a temporary one.
Looking down the list of points, even an F-Rank guy was out of reach for permanent.
'Why the hell is Kyle so pricey when he doesn't even have skills?'
Maybe because he's the protagonist, they factored in growth potential?
It definitely wasn't just based on personal ability.
Look at Lee Seol or Mi-ryeong—the king and queen of the Famous Fiction world. Nothing standout besides status and looks, but high ranks. Status must play a role.
My little sister Lee A-rin was there too.
Does this mean I could summon her?
What was she up to right now? Resting at home?
Would she just get yanked from her room to mine?
A mischievous urge bubbled up, and I wanted to test it out...
But with my points, I had to save them.
Luna and my sister—both civilians, yet E-Rank. Looks probably factored in.
Makes sense; A-rin's got E-cup tits.
As I scrolled, another ridiculous one caught my eye.
What the hell is this?
No other world had an S+-Rank, but Famous Fiction did.
Even Choi Ji-na, the reality world's S-Rank hunter healer, was just A--Rank.
What could it be?
Name's ???, and pressing it did nothing.
'Wait, no Master on here?'
Scanning the list, no sign of my Famous Fiction master.
Double-checked from top to bottom—nope.
Eyes drifted to the ???.
'Nah, can't be.'
Master's medicine was top-tier, but S+-Rank? No way.
Suspicion faded naturally.
Doubting Master felt wrong.
Probably a glitch.
Anyway, I got the gist of the new feature's scale.
Couldn't use it much now.
Temporary summons were doable with my points, but summoning once and done felt wasteful.
Not urgent anyway.
At best, a quick fuck—and I couldn't blow precious points like that.
Save for real emergencies.
Or grind points hard and bring heroines to reality.
Embracing the Queen Mother netted 500 points for one achievement.
Major feats in other comics would pay well too.
Grind that and...
"Harem time."
Build my own harem in reality.
Erika, Luna, Min Jo-hee, Choi Soo-jung, Mi-ryeong, even A-rin.
All together in one house, fucking every day in blissful harem life. Let's go.
'Oh right, daily quests.'
Yeah, that unlocked with trait level-up and summons.
With summon prices like this, point sources were essential. Good call trusting the system.
[1. Wash Your Body Clean (0/1)]
- Reward: Trait Points 1 P
[2. Push-Ups (0/100)]
- Reward: Trait Points 1 P
[3. Get New Clothes That Fit (0/1)]
- Reward: Trait Points 1 P
[Completion Reward: Random Box (Lowest Grade)]
"What the fuck? 1 point? What is this shit?!"
Three dailies max out at 3 points.
Permanents cost thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.
How long to grind for summons?
20 days straight for just 3 hours of A-rin.
"System, you stingy bastard. You're gonna regret this."
Griping changed nothing.
Still, better than nothing.
Every penny counts.
'Quests look easy anyway.'
Wash, exercise, buy clothes.
Basic daily stuff.
Just living normally earns points.
'Plus that completion reward Random Box.'
Let's do it.
Push-ups first.
Would've been life-threatening before, but now? Piece of cake.
Dropped to the floor, got in position, and started...
One, two, three...
"What the—"
Strength near 40 made it way too easy.
Agility sped me up.
Controlling so I didn't launch myself off the floor was harder.
Hit 100 in seconds, stood up—no heavy breathing, no sweat, no soreness. Nothing.
"Hmm..."
Disappointed at 1P earlier, but now? Felt too good for something this easy.
Dailies might be OP?
Next: wash up.
"Damn, this body's killer."
Mirror reflection still amazed me.
Shower on—whoosh.
Sang under the water, used A-rin's face stuff to clean up.
Compared to Joseon-era ash water or rice rinses? Pure heaven.
"Modern civilization FTW."
Trait points now at 502P.
One left.
[Get New Clothes That Fit].
That nets 1P and Lowest-Grade Random Box.
"Clothes, huh. Online order... nah."
Didn't know my exact size.
'Gotta go out and buy 'em.'
Unicorn Claw maybe. Grabbed wallet...
Then remembered last bank balance.
'Wasn't it under 100k won?'
Pulled out phone, banking app.
"Haa..."
Sigh escaped.
70k? Whose nose to blow it on?
Market stall T-shirt for 5k it is.
'Fucked.'
Discarded food from Boss covered most meals. Awakened, ordered delivery, blew cash.
Plus, "I'll make bank soon," charged mobile games.
Legend of Heroes skins too.
Mobile charges aside, that was necessary spending.
No one else played, pitied 'em...
Don't buy skins, game dies for real.
Anyway, self-inflicted karma.
'Really lived without a plan.'
Plus real-life bills: food, rent, utilities, comms.
'Need cash.'
Pulled two [Elixir: Fengyang Pill (C+)] from inventory—40 pills total—stared at desk.
These would make bank, but...
'Where to sell?'
Hunter market? Black market?
Got C-Rank license, but no connections.
Blindly peddle as "super aphrodisiac"? Scammer label.
Hunter Gallery ask-around? Nah.
'Hunter Gallery fucks hate me anyway.'
Regardless, search beats asking.
Internet has it all; Gallery's for memes.
Quick search.
"Hmm..."
Can't sell immediately.
Market or black—appraisals first, takes time.
Finding buyers after? More time.
Unrealistic now.
Drop at market for appraisal on way back from clothes shopping.
Needed cash now.
Clothes, chicken—hard cash.
"Fuck, no pride."
C-Rank hunter with cheat trait scraping with 70k.
'Money source...'
Gate run? Sell mana stones.
Brainstorming hit one.
Uncollected pay.
"Part-time wages."
Quit right after awakening—that convenience store.
Last month's pay plus overtime—decent sum, not deposited.
15 days post-quit to report Labor Office, so dragging full 15.
That fucker's style.
Urgent, so ask nicely.
Checked blocked list.
[Bastard]—store Boss.
Unblocked, texted.
[Boss, it's Lee Jun. When's my backpay? Please send soon.]
Hit send—phone rang in under 10 seconds.
Riiiing— riiiing—.
Screen: [Bastard].
'Quick.'
Hesitated, answered.
Ignore? Full 15 days.
"Hello?"
- You fucking bastard!
Answered, and as expected, screams and swears poured out.
