[The King of Demons is watching you.]
[The Lord of the Sky is watching you.]
[The Golden Collector is watching you.]
Before I knew it, the number of constellations observing me had increased. I don't know who the Golden Collector is, but I do know the Lord of the Sky.
'A big shot like the Lord of the Sky is watching me?'
Perhaps there are even more constellations hiding their presence and watching me, not just those three.
For now, I don't need to worry about them. The fact that they're watching me simply means they're slightly interested in me.
Once their interest wanes, they'll naturally turn their gaze away and leave.
I have no intention of flattering them just to keep their attention.
'More importantly, this woman.'
The woman who stepped forward from the group. She seems to be the leader of this group. I can feel the respect everyone has for her.
'She's even more beautiful than Yoo Seo-hee.'
She's wearing a tight-fitting black leather outfit, typical of hunters, with a sword sheath at her waist. Given her attire and the sword she carries, she's undoubtedly a hunter.
She's tall for a woman. Even without heels, she looks to be around 175 cm. Her sleek black hair reaches down to her thighs, which is exceptionally long.
Her long legs give her an excellent figure, and her abdomen is flawless. Her chest is also large, fitting snugly in her black leather outfit, but my eyes aren't fooled.
'She's even bigger than Yoo Seo-hee. She must be at least an F-cup.'
Her pale face was cold. Her sharp eyes and cool gaze gave her an air of arrogance. Her tightly closed lips added to her haughty appearance.
She reminded me of Han Ha-rin, my first love. Maybe that's why I got a little excited.
In short, she was exactly my type.
'I'll definitely have her. No matter what it takes.'
I swore to myself repeatedly in my mind.
"Three people? You three managed to survive."
The tall woman looked us over. She spoke informally, but since she's pretty, I can let it slide. Besides, her tone can be corrected later.
I lightly touched Hwaryeonbido at my waist, drawing it slightly to show the blade.
"I may not look like it, but I was a hunter on Earth. Hunting monsters here isn't too difficult for me."
"…I see. You don't seem to need help, and it looks like you've been doing well. Go back. This is our territory, and we don't welcome outsiders."
Her voice was thick with caution.
[The King of Demons has expectations for you.]
[The King of Demons has proposed a mission to you.]
[Mission Condition 1: Kill them all.]
[Mission Time Limit: 3 hours.]
[Mission Success Reward: 3,000 AP per person killed.]
[Mission Failure Penalty: None.]
[Will you accept the mission?]
I quickly scanned the group. Including the woman, there were 21 people in total. If I slaughtered them all, I could earn 63,000 AP.
'Is this an easy mission? The King of Demons must be loaded with AP.'
I'm tempted.
My current stats are more than twice theirs. I know how to use mana and can even use the Play Life App skill. Slaughtering them would be easy.
Even if I don't kill the woman, I can still earn 60,000 AP by killing the rest.
'This is what they call a generous mission.'
But simply killing and raping them would be boring. I can do that anytime.
I strongly thought of the Atlantis system in my mind.
'I accept the mission. However, change the time limit to two days.'
[The King of Demons nods readily.]
[The mission time limit has been changed from 3 hours to 48 hours.]
[You have accepted the mission from the King of Demons.]
"What are you standing there for?"
She frowned and placed her hand on the sword at her waist, asking.
I raised both hands to show I had no intention of fighting and said.
"I was lost in thought for a moment. I have no intention of fighting you all. I'm no match for your numbers."
I looked around. From their appearances, it seemed they were living decently, but they were still somewhat gaunt.
"We're also exhausted from living as a group of three. We'd like to join you… is that possible?"
"Please. It's been really tough for the three of us."
Yoo Seo-hee chimed in appropriately.
"We'd appreciate it."
Yoo In-ha also bowed his head, showing his understanding.
She looked at not just me, but also Yoo Seo-hee and Yoo In-ha. Her frown didn't ease.
"You don't look like you've been struggling that much."
Currently, our appearances were much better than theirs.
That's because I provided them with necessities like shampoo, soap, wet wipes, and clothes. I didn't want to hold Yoo Seo-hee while she was dirty from not being able to wash properly. By the way, Yoo Seo-hee was wearing office attire. No particular reason—she was just wearing it when we first met, and it suited her well.
"Ah. We haven't been starving much. My unique trait is S-Rank Equivalent Exchange."
"Equivalent Exchange?"
"I can use AP to obtain items. For example…"
I glanced at Yoo In-ha.
Yoo In-ha was carrying a large backpack on his back. In his right hand, he held a tent bag. He was in charge of odd jobs and carrying supplies.
I took Yoo In-ha's backpack and unzipped it. Inside were instant noodles, snacks, and other instant foods. Even though these were easily obtainable on Earth, they were precious items here, where nothing could be obtained.
The atmosphere around us changed.
The people who had been wary and hostile toward us were now subtly approaching. Their faces looked as if they were entranced by something.
"R-Ramen!"
"There's cola and snacks too!"
"Ramen! I thought I'd never eat it again…"
Even the woman in front of me was surprised, peeking into the backpack. However, she quickly regained her composure and warned the others.
"Stop! Don't come any closer."
As the leader of this group, she had perfect control. Some of the people seemed to fear her.
"…You can exchange AP for things like this?"
"Yes. Clothes too. Of course, necessities like shampoo, toilet paper, and toothbrushes as well. But they're a bit expensive. A pack of ramen costs 10 AP."
If I set the price too low, they'd obviously pester me with requests, so I set it high from the start. Since transferring AP in the tutorial is impossible, they wouldn't be able to demand anything from me recklessly.
"I'll give you the food in this backpack. In exchange, please accept us as your comrades."
"…."
She seemed to be pondering.
It was all a bluff.
I saw her swallow her saliva as she looked at the ramen in the backpack. As the leader, she also had to consider the reactions of her followers. They were already half-entranced by the food we had.
"Fine. I'll accept you as our comrades. But you'll have to actively use your ability."
"Thank you. But I don't have much AP left. I only have 1,000 AP. I need to save it to buy entry tickets, so I can't use it."
"We'll help you gather AP."
"Then… I have no reason to refuse."
I smiled. Looking at the situation, I could just kill everyone except the woman in front of me. Poisoning the food was also one way to slaughter them all.
I extended my right hand toward her for a handshake.
"I'm Seong Eugene. I was an F-Rank hunter on Earth. Nice to meet you."
She took my hand.
"I'm Joo Seo-hyun. I was also an F-Rank hunter. I hadn't been a hunter for long, but… nice to meet you."
Joo Seo-hyun.
My eyes widened at the name.
It was the name of one of the heroines in the original novel. Since the original novel didn't have illustrations, I hadn't recognized her immediately.
I looked at her again. Her tall stature, large chest, and long black hair reaching her thighs.
'It's really Joo Seo-hyun.'
I hid my overwhelming joy and shook her hand.
Joo Seo-hyun.
One of the strongest in Atlantis, known as the Sword Emperor. Of course, not now, but later.
Her unique trait, Sword Emperor (S), was as overpowered as her nickname, granting bonuses to swordsmanship, enhancing sword abilities, and allowing her to learn sword-related skills without restriction.
By the way, Joo Seo-hyun's class, unique trait, and nickname were all Sword Emperor.
"Sorry, but I'd like you to distribute the items you have to the others right now. I'll definitely repay this debt."
"Of course. We're comrades now, after all. Hahaha."
After lunch, we went out to hunt Haders.
I didn't actively participate in the battles. There was no need. They were already hunting Haders without much difficulty. They utilized their numerical advantage and used their unique traits at the right moments.
'There's even someone with a unique trait specialized in scouting, so the hunting is very fast.'
I heard that there were a few casualties at first. But by the third day, they had gotten used to hunting, and there were no more casualties.
Joo Seo-hyun was at the center of it all. She could hunt Haders alone and led the group from the front.
They skillfully subdued the Haders and let me finish them off to accumulate AP. They had already gathered 1,000 AP some time ago.
Yoo Seo-hee and Yoo In-ha also managed to collect 1,000 AP this time. They originally had around 800 AP, so even without their help, I could have gathered enough by the end of the day.
As the sun began to set, Joo Seo-hyun firmly ordered everyone to return.
"Let's head back. It's too dangerous to hunt monsters at night."
No one objected.
We returned to the base of the cliff and prepared dinner. The menu was army stew. I actively served the food to everyone. I briefly considered poisoning the food but decided against it. There might be someone with a unique ability to detoxify poison, and there was also the risk of Joo Seo-hyun getting poisoned.
Nighttime.
Around midnight.
I was sitting against the wall in a corner of the cliff. There was a tent next to me, which was perfect for covering my body. Yoo Seo-hee was sitting beside me, fast asleep. She had been sucking me off just moments ago. Yoo In-ha was sleeping inside the tent.
There were two reasons why I wasn't sleeping in the tent and was sitting here instead.
The first reason was the "night visitors." There were people who came looking for me at night. Their goal was to get the items I had—cup noodles, snacks, razors, water bottles, and so on.
I refused, using Joo Seo-hyun as an excuse. When I asked if they had gotten her permission, they would eventually give up and leave. Some of them got angry, acting as if they were entitled, but when I subtly pulled out my sword, they got scared and ran away. They had seen a bit of my skills during the day.
'It doesn't seem like any more night visitors will come… Should I just go into the tent and sleep?'
Thud, thud!
Someone approached.
It was a short-haired woman wearing sneakers, jeans, and a white shirt. She looked like a college student and was quite pretty. She was carrying a bag. The only downside was that her chest was small.
I knew her name. We had a brief conversation earlier in the evening.
"Ms. Yoon Young-mi. What brings you here so late at night? Do you need something from me?"
"There's something I want."
"Something you want?"
"Since we don't know what's going to happen in the future… I'd like some emergency food like ramen or canned goods. And if you have wet wipes or sanitary pads, that would be great too."
"Are you on your period right now?"
"No. But it's good to be prepared, right?"
"I understand. But I can't just give them to you. The AP I have was earned with everyone's help, so I need Joo Seo-hyun's permission. Did you get her permission?"
"I didn't even ask. There's no way she'd agree anyway."
"Then I can't give them to you either."
I wasn't a pushover, and I had no intention of giving things away just because she was pretty.
"I'll give you a blowjob. How about it?"
"...What?"
I asked again. Did I hear that wrong?
"I'm saying I'll suck your dick once."
