Chapter 48: Min-su... Please... Please...! (Added Content)
==================================
Emergency Quest
[Hallucination Dungeon: Succubus Night]
A Hallucination Dungeon is a unique type of dungeon that does not alter the existing terrain.
Instead, it scatters hallucinogenic powder over the area to deceive the eyes of people, preventing them from seeing the truth.
Furthermore, Succubuses have long been known as a race that feeds on the essence of men.
It would be unthinkable for such a race to have anything less than stunning looks, wouldn't it?
A Succubus possesses beauty and sensuality so overwhelming they could crush any other race.
Will you be able to withstand a seduction so alluring and intense it could burn your very brain?
Stop the deep night before it spreads like a wave and submerges all of Wonderland!

==================================
The reward was a bit underwhelming, but I liked that the penalty had been changed.
The skill reward, commonly known as the 'Shield Card,' didn't mean much to me.
I was already deeply connected with influential figures who could sway the media.
'Chairman Choi Young-nam, Yu-min... and Melanie.'
If I asked these three for a favor, they could probably make even a murder disappear.
With that kind of power at my fingertips, a mere Shield Card felt trivial.
Pushing the disappointment aside and focusing on the current situation, there was more to be grateful for.
"Chubby Ahn, I'm actually really thankful to you right now."
I wasn't worried about Min-su or Yu-min dying.
Both had already firmly established themselves in the top tier of the first-year class.
Besides, Kim Min-su was the protagonist, so there was no way he would die, and Yu-min had recently fully awakened her abilities.
Since we weren't the only Awakeners in Wonderland, as long as I did my part, the damage would likely be minimal.
"I guess the Witch's Blessing can't see through the dungeon."
Since it was a hallucination-type, I thought the effect would work, but I guess dungeons have a different nature.
Fortunately, I had a map of Wonderland, so I didn't have to worry about getting lost.
No matter how much of a hallucination it was, it was still based on the layout of Wonderland.
"I am a bit curious about what my ideal type looks like, though."
My standards for a beautiful woman were clear, but my 'ideal type' was quite vague.
The desire to absolutely sleep with a specific woman had long since vanished.
For now, I didn't sense any presence nearby, so I started moving.
After walking for about five minutes, I thought it was normal.
Every dungeon has different characteristics, and this could just be a place with a low monster count.
But when no one appeared even after thirty minutes of walking, I couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Even with the hyper-developed senses of an Awakener, I couldn't detect a single sign of life.
Since I hadn't even perceived a Succubus yet, I couldn't activate Coercion.
I wanted to just crush everything in all directions, but I couldn't rule out the possibility of civilians being around.
All I could do was climb to a high vantage point to look around or just keep walking aimlessly.
After wasting about an hour, my senses finally caught something.
It wasn't the presence of an Awakener, nor did it feel like a civilian.
'Found you.'
[Rocinante, activate! Drive safely!]
I hadn't summoned it earlier because I was afraid the engine noise would scare the monsters away.
But now that I had pinpointed the location, there was no need to worry about the noise anymore.
Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!
Rocinante appeared, looking like a mechanical warhorse transformed into a motorcycle.
As soon as I mounted, a helmet was naturally placed on my head, and my field of vision expanded instantly.
-Would you like to activate Auto-Drive Mode?-
I nodded and stood up, stepping on the motorcycle's seat.
I was confident I wouldn't fall, and I needed to pounce the moment I spotted the target.
-Moving along the optimal route.-
Rocinante performed feats like leaping into the air using buildings as supports or driving up walls.
I hadn't realized it when I was just using it on the roads, but the more I learned about this skill, the more advantages it had.
"Found you."
[Rocinante—Acceleration activated!]
"Wha—what?!"
I heard the startled voice of a Succubus, but it was already too late.
Rocinante flew forward like an arrow, blocking the Succubus's path.
Having already stood up, I leaped behind her and activated Coercion.
Boom!
"What are you doing all of a sudden?!"
This wasn't a level of coordination an ordinary monster could handle.
The Succubus screamed as if it were unfair the moment she was slammed into the ground.
I needed information, so I didn't kill her immediately and just looked down at her.
"We've always had this kind of relationship, so what do you mean 'all of a sudden'?"
It was a shame I couldn't see her face properly since it was buried in the dirt.
That was that, but just as I was about to give her a little 'physical persuasion' because she still seemed rebellious, the Succubus spoke up.
"Even if relations between Incubi and Succubuses are bad, this is crossing the line! Have you forgotten the Covenant of the King and Queen?!"
"What?"
What the hell is she talking about?
+++++++++++++++++
"Come any closer, and I'll cut you down immediately."
It was too much for Kim Min-su to process the current situation.
It hadn't been long since he got a girlfriend, and the furthest they'd gone was holding hands.
"Oh my, Mr. Hero is sooooo stiff. Why are you rejecting us when you're wearing such cool clothes, hmm?"
"Exactly! We really don't kill people. We just milk you and then poof, we're gone!"
The problem was that, as the protagonist of a pure love diary, his resistance to the opposite sex was near zero.
He was a total novice when it came to women, to the point where he was too embarrassed to even look at R-rated material.
"Surely you're not thinking of swinging that sharp sword at us?"
"I'd rather be impaled by the sword between your legs, Mr. Hero."
"Kyaa! Oh my god, how can you say something like that!"
Consequently, the scene unfolding before him was excessively stimulating for Kim Min-su.
He had only heard rumors about reverse bunny girl costumes, but to see them in person!
It was a sight far too heavy for a virgin to handle.
'...Even micro-bikinis...'
He saw outfits that seemed like they only existed in adult videos or erotic novels.
They were called Succubuses, but they were essentially a gathering of the world's most beautiful women.
"Mr. Hero... am I not good enough...?"
Not all Succubuses had aggressive personalities.
In contrast to those engaging in physical warfare with their breasts, there were also shy Succubuses who just timidly tugged at his sleeve.
This place was a collection of every sexual fantasy a man could dream of.
"D-Don't come any closer! I don't feel anything for you people!"
"Oh, the Hero has an erection."
"Kyaa! His little parrot is so cute."
"He's like a baby. I want to pamper him."
"It's not small!!!!"
The moment they mentioned his size, Kim Min-su couldn't help but snap.
He never thought it was small, but to call him a baby!
It was unforgivable.
He had to deal with the Succubus in the reverse bunny girl costume right this instant.
'M-Maybe I'll watch just a little longer...'
He didn't think they were monsters that posed a threat.
Wasn't it a win-win situation?
As the sword Kim Min-su summoned began to fade, the eyes of the Succubuses began to sparkle.
++++++++++++++++
"Kim Min-su is a top-tier virgin?"
"Yes! How many times do I have to tell you? Are you really an Incubus? Why are you so behind on the news?"
"I told you, I've been working so hard I haven't had time to visit the Demon Realm."
"I guess... someone like you would be top-tier even among Incubi."
The Succubus I had suppressed firmly believed I was an Incubus.
The reason was absurd: it was because my 'sexual experience count' was excessively high.
She probably saw a number that included my experiences back on Earth, which honestly flustered me.
'I don't remember doing it that much...'
If a Succubus mistook a human for an Incubus, just how much had I done it?
I even heard that an Incubus who had drained so much essence that his purity had rotted away was rare.
I thought I had only engaged in sincere love to the best of my ability, but I guess not.
"Still, it's good to visit the Demon Realm occasionally to hear the news. You might not care about news regarding men, but even the Queen is on the move."
"Why on earth is a virgin like Kim Min-su so popular?"
"Do you really need a detailed explanation?"
"Yeah, it's been a while since I've heard any news."
Why couldn't I find any Succubuses no matter how much I roamed Wonderland?
The cause was entirely Kim Min-su.
"A virgin who is destined to never have sex for the rest of his life is rare, you know."
"What? Why him?"
"Um... it's hard to explain in words. You'll know the moment you see him."
"Just give me a rough explanation."
When Succubuses drain a man, they are extremely picky about the quality of the essence.
They quantify and analyze everything related to sex, starting from how much the target has used his dick to the number of unrequited loves.
And according to those analysis results, Kim Min-su recorded an incredibly high score.
To put it simply...
"First of all, just based on the clothes he's wearing today, he can never be in a relationship with anyone for the rest of his life. You haven't seen him, but we all have."
First, he had the worst fashion sense imaginable.
"And... his ambition outstrips his ability, so he has no tact... he talks way too much, he's incredibly boastful... but he can't back any of it up with his face."
Second, he was a collection of every trait a woman would hate.
"I can't think of much else... Oh! But despite all that, his libido is enormous. If I were to compare him to a drink humans have, he's like... an old wine that's expensive but tastes so bad nobody buys it? Something like that!"
"Why the hell is the metaphor wine?"
"Because we consider that the best!"
Lastly, and ironically, the two traits mentioned above acted as a boon for the Succubuses.
They said it was the greatest honor to drain a virginity that the man himself could never lose.
Since even the Succubus Queen was on the move, it was clearly a major event.
"So you're saying every Succubus is with Kim Min-su right now?"
"I'm telling you! How many times do I have to say it? I'm only here because I have a bad sense of direction!"
Everything made sense now.
Maybe the reason he wore that 'Human Condom Look' was for this.
Had he already realized the chances of meeting a woman were low and turned his attention elsewhere?
"But do they disappear immediately after draining him?"
"No, not at all. Once the Queen herself drains Kim Min-su, that's when the real invasion will begin."
"I see."
"I can feel a virgin's presence, so we're almost th—?"
[Smite activated! Great power dwells in your fist!]
Boom!
There was no more information to be gained.
Since I'd received a kind escort to the location, there was no reason to keep her alive.
Perhaps the dungeon difficulty itself was low, as the Succubus vanished with a single Smite.
'He's a Hero, so surely he can withstand the temptation, right?'
[Rocinante, activate! Drive safely!]
'Min-su... please... please...!'
Still, there was always that one-in-a-million chance.
Kim Min-su was a Hero, but he shared more than a few similarities with Chubby Ahn.
He had likely inherited Chubby Ahn's sexual fantasies exactly as they were; could he really withstand a Succubus's temptation?
What if he was trying to thrust his hips right now?
Anxious thoughts wouldn't leave my head.
"Kim Min-su!"
When I arrived at the scene, a horrific sight was about to unfold.
I saw Kim Min-su with his pants down, clutching something that looked like a tiny shriveled pepper.
In front of him was a woman wearing a tiara with her legs spread—it was obviously the Succubus Queen.
"You crazy bastard!"
[Rocinante—Acceleration activated!]
I launched Rocinante like a rocket.
The target was only one: Kim Min-su.
Kim Min-su was so preoccupied with the Succubus in front of him that he didn't even notice something flying toward him.
Judging by the slight pink tint in his eyes, he seemed to be charmed.
The moment Kim Min-su was drained, the dungeon difficulty would skyrocket, just as the Succubus had said.
"Squeeeeeal!"
Rocinante plowed into Kim Min-su's side and sent him flying.
I stopped the situation just before the frantic virgin-draining party could begin.
It was only possible because Kim Min-su's junk was so small.
"Thanks for having a small dick, Kim Min-su."
I added a small word of thanks amidst his pig-like squealing.
