Chapter Title: Dinosaur Fiend Takedown
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I fell straight down and smashed the monster dinosaur's head with all my might using Mjolnir.
-Boom!
The monster staggered for a moment from the impact to its head.
I didn't miss the opening and hammered its body relentlessly.
-Boom. Boom. Boom.
"Wh-what is that?"
"Why is it acting like that?"
"Who's attacking it?"
To anyone else watching, it must have looked like the monster was just throwing a tantrum on its own for no reason.
The thing had no eyes.
That's why it could pinpoint my exact location, invisible or not.
Unfortunately, my invisibility only hid me from people and had no other effect.
A massive foot came stomping down.
-Thud.
I dodged it.
But right after, its enormous body charged in.
It was Choi Dong-sik's body-slam attack, launched straight at me.
'Damn. It even knows combos.'
The monster's body was way too wide-ranging.
No dodging that one.
Then I'll tank it.
"Hup!"
-Boom!
I planted my feet firmly, and the ground cracked under the shock, forming a crater.
A colossal wall of flesh barreled toward me, ready to crush me flat.
I braced my legs and rammed my shoulder into its oncoming bulk.
-KABOOM!
A deafening roar echoed as we both staggered back two steps.
My shoulder ached a bit from the clash with the monster, but it was fine in no time.
I'd figured it would work, but this body's ridiculous.
-Whinny!
I charged at the dinosaur monster, which hesitated in stunned confusion at the unexpected result, and swung Mjolnir.
Maintaining invisibility while channeling mana was draining it fast.
Plus, the dimensional rift was nagging at me, so I wanted to wrap this up quick.
If another one popped out, I'd be screwed.
The rift's rank was high, so it probably wouldn't spawn more right away.
Still, I couldn't relax.
If it did, I'd have no choice.
'Time to bail.'
As I kept pounding it, I felt the mana shield flowing over its skin weakening.
It wouldn't hold out much longer.
-Roooar!
The beast leaped at me on its thick legs.
'With that bulk...'
It looked like it wanted to squash me flat.
I poured mana into Mjolnir, making it even bigger.
"Hah!"
I slammed it upward into the descending monster.
-Boom!
It spun once in the air and crashed to the ground.
-Rumble!
A few buildings got smashed in the process.
The monster staggered to its feet.
The spot where the hammer hit was deeply dented from the impact.
That meant it had barely any mana left for defense.
The dinosaur monster's multi-forked maw bubbled with dark red mana.
Probably its last-ditch effort—a breath attack like the one before.
I rushed in fast and uppercut its jaw with Mjolnir.
-Boom!
-Roooar!
By a hair's breadth, the hammer knocked its head back, sending the breath attack skyward.
I spun my body and whipped its thick leg with all my strength.
-KABOOM!
-Crack!
With no mana left to defend, its leg buckled inward, and the beast collapsed.
I leaped high above its head and brought Mjolnir down on the dinosaur monster's skull.
-Thud!
One hit wasn't enough to shatter the skull.
If once doesn't do it...
-Boom! Boom! Boom!
I hammered its head relentlessly with Mjolnir.
-Crunch.
The dinosaur monster's head finally shattered, and experience points flooded in.
The surroundings fell silent.
People stared around in bewilderment, unsure what had just happened.
"I-Is it... dead?"
"What the hell happened?"
"Something's there, right...?"
The quiet area erupted into chaos.
Of course it did—the monster had thrashed around like a lunatic before dropping dead.
+ Skill Points +3
'Phew, good thing.'
If it'd been in the heart, that would've been a pain.
I reached into the already-cracked skull and pulled out the mana stone.
'Big one.'
It was so heavy it wouldn't fit in one hand.
Honestly, this was easier than that zombie world cat bastard.
I only had to focus on this one, and unlike the cat, it was straightforward and stubborn.
The corpse's glossy dark red hide looked expensive just at a glance.
And it was a new rift corrupted being species.
'Holy shit... this thing's gonna fetch a fortune...'
Too big for the inventory.
I could empty it out, maybe...
My heart ached, but no choice.
I'd decided to hide my identity—couldn't reveal myself now just to claim it.
I wasn't planning to hide forever, but not today.
And the dimensional rift was still there.
I smashed the rift with Mjolnir as hard as I could.
-Crack!
The rift's protective barrier shattered, and the black, round core tumbled out as the fissure shrank.
"Wha-what? Th-the rift!"
"What the hell is going on!? What's in there?"
"It's the core!!!"
"Grab it quick!!! Do you know how much that's worth!!"
I snatched it up and tossed it into my inventory fast.
A B-rank rift core—nice and heavy.
"Huh?! The core's gone!"
"Fuck! What the hell?!"
The area descended into pandemonium.
'Good enough for me.'
Couldn't take the corpse, so at least I got this.
I deserved it, obviously.
I'd taken down the monster, grabbed the mana stone, and now the rift core too.
The mana stone was one thing, but a B-rank rift core? That'd sell for big money.
The corpse was a shame, but for a quick outing, this was solid profit.
Too bad I couldn't use EMP.
Mana for invisibility was running low.
I slipped away before it gave out.
As planned, I headed to the Manz store, where the manager greeted me warmly.
"This is..."
"Haha. A shield specially made for you, Mr. Park Un-ho. What do you think?"
It was a bit shorter than me but still looked about two meters tall.
At least 50cm thick.
Scrap value alone would be huge.
Manz folks were insane too.
No one but me could even use it.
"What do you think?"
The manager eyed me nervously.
He seemed to think it was overkill himself.
"Looks good."
"R-really? Haha."
"Ship it to the address along with the axe."
I'd asked Jin-ah to buy a warehouse.
I was stashing stuff I needed there to take to the zombie world.
"Y-yes, sir."
Next up...
-Slap. Slap. Slap. Slap.
I gripped Yu-na's plump ass and thrust my hips.
Her juicy flesh deformed beautifully with every squeeze—never got old.
Even exhausted from battle, I couldn't skip time with Yu-na.
If anything, the fight had me even more revved up.
She was face-down on the bed sheets, ass up.
-Squelch. Squelch.
"Hngh. Sniff. Sniff."
Yu-na whimpered pitifully.
Her signal was coming.
I ramped up the pace.
-Slap-slap-slap-slap.
"Hngh. Hngh. Ah, Uncle!"
Ecstasy surged up my spine as I unloaded inside her.
-Spurt! Splurt!!
"Haaang!"
Her inner walls milked my cock, her ass quivering like jelly.
I responded by pumping her full of cum for a good while.
"Hoo..."
-Schlop.
She'd squeezed me dry—I pulled out of her hole.
Her flesh clung like a funnel, reluctant to let go.
-Sluuurp...
-Gulp.
Once the thick shaft slipped free, her gaping hole clenched shut, dribbling white semen as it winked.
I lay down beside her.
Yu-na shifted familiarly now, burying her face in my crotch for cleanup fellatio.
-Slurp. Slurp.
"Mmm..."
I stroked her hair, savoring the rough texture of her tongue on my freshly spent, sensitive glans.
The pleasure built again, and I came in her mouth once more.
-Gulp. Gulp.
"Gulp. Gulp. Slurp. Slurp... Haa."
After swallowing my second load, Yu-na naturally lay beside me.
I pulled her close, giving her my arm as a pillow, and she snuggled right in.
We lay there in silence for a while, letting the arousal fade.
"You know you've awakened, right?"
I broke the quiet first.
She'd awakened as a body enhancement type.
It had been a while since her awakening, but she was living life as usual, which piqued my curiosity.
My hand naturally drifted to her breast, kneading the soft mound.
"Ahng... Yeah..."
"Mana test?"
"Not yet..."
Everyone thought she was attending Awakener Academy.
But she hadn't done the mana test.
I debated asking why.
'She's got her reasons.'
Decided not to pry.
It was her choice whether to get tested or not.
After spending time with Un-ho, Yu-na returned home.
She found her heavy-hearted adoptive mother, Kim Kyung-sook, waiting.
Jin-woo stood beside her.
Kim Kyung-sook's usually gentle, smiling face was gravely stern.
"Yu-na, come sit here."
"Yes..."
Yu-na tensed in the heavy atmosphere and sat obediently beside her mother, Kim Kyung-sook.
"From the moment you came to our home, I've never once thought of you as anything but my daughter."
"Yes..."
"Will you answer my questions from now on honestly?"
"Yes..."
"Jin-woo says you're meeting some older man..."
Behind her stood Jin-woo, face expressionless.
'N-no way. Jin-woo...'
"What? Th-that's..."
Yu-na couldn't deny it with Kim Kyung-sook pressing like she already knew everything.
"It's true... What kind of relationship is it?"
"What? Th-that's..."
'What even is my relationship with Uncle??'
Even Yu-na wondered herself.
Whenever he demanded, she gave in like she was enchanted.
Under the flimsy excuse of repaying a debt.
And she didn't hate the time they spent.
No, if anything...
-Gulp.
Yu-na swallowed dryly.
"Where did this come from?"
Kim Kyung-sook asked gravely, showing off luxury bags and clothes.
Stuff Un-ho had bought her at the department store before.
"........."
"You... don't tell me... I hoped it wasn't true... but you coming home late sometimes..."
Kim Kyung-sook's face paled.
"M-Mom, it's not like that..."
Yu-na denied it, but Kim Kyung-sook couldn't believe her.
"Did you not have enough allowance?"
Her face was filled with pity for Yu-na.
"N-no."
"Yu-na, you're my daughter. Try to understand my worry."
"Yes..."
"I'm sorry, but can you come straight home after academy for a while?"
Kim Kyung-sook couldn't bear watching Yu-na stray anymore.
"Yes..."
Of course, Yu-na couldn't defy her mother, Kim Kyung-sook.
