"Hey, what's this? A woman? She's kinda pretty."
"Ah, fuck. Shut up and focus."
"...She's walking out so confidently. We're screwed."
The Hunter bandits numbered three.
One carried a spear, another had a sword at his hip, and the third, wearing glasses, clutched a thick bag.
I narrowed my eyes as I watched them from behind Jin Seyoung. I didn't sense any immediate danger.
"You lot. Surrender quietly unless you want to end up crippled," Jin Seyoung said calmly, drawing her sword.
The man with glasses stared intently at Jin Seyoung before his face twisted into a grimace, and he frantically rummaged through his bag.
"Fuck. We're really screwed. That bitch is at least C-Rank!"
Glasses pulled a piece of paper from his backpack.
I immediately recognized it as a scroll a one-use magical tool that stores spells or abilities on paper, to be activated by tearing it in emergencies.
Jin Seyoung's face hardened at the sight of the scroll. Abandoning her leisurely pace, she sprinted forward, wind swirling around her body. Wind manipulation her ability.
Tear!
But the scroll tore faster than she could move. A ring of light enveloped Jin Seyoung, trapping her as if she'd struck an invisible wall.
"A ring of light? How could scum like you use such high-level magic?!"
Bang! Bang!
Jin Seyoung pounded on the transparent barrier, but it showed no signs of breaking. The glowing ring at its center pulsed faintly as it slowly rotated.
"Fucking hell! That scared the shit out of me. Good job, Jeon Huya," the Spear Bastard said, his tense expression melting into a smirk.
"Shut up and get ready to run. That thing only lasts three minutes. Damn it. I went through hell to get this on the black market, and we're using it in this shithole."
"That woman's kinda hot. Can't we take her for a spin before we leave? Just a quick fuck." The Sword Bastard leered at Jin Seyoung, his eyes raking her up and down. My eyebrows twitched.
"The ring's keeping us away from her too. Mess with it, and it'll probably break. If you wanna die, go die alone, you pervert."
"...That's a bit harsh, don't you think?"
"So what if it is?"
Sword Bastard and Glasses snarled at each other.
"Alright, alright, no fighting. We should bail from here. But it'd be a waste to leave empty-handed. Let's strip that guy clean. He looks like a total weakling, but his sword looks decent."
Glasses stared intently at me before nodding.
"He's F-Rank."
It seemed Glasses had the ability to assess an opponent's strength.
"Hey! Did you hear me? Hand over everything you've got and get lost. You've got exactly ten seconds. Choose."
"Yujin-ah! Run!"
Jin Seyoung was right we should run. If I dropped my gear, they might kill me on the spot.
But I chuckled softly.
"I'm giving you exactly 30 seconds. Hand over everything you've got and get lost. Especially you, Spear Bastard. If you don't drop that spear in 10 seconds, I'll kill you."
"..."
The Spear Bastard fell silent for a moment, then glanced at Glasses.
"...Are you sure this guy's F-Rank?"
"I can only assess physical abilities. But his physical abilities are definitely F-Rank."
"So it's all bluff... Just some crazy bastard trying to show off in front of the girl."
The Spear Bastard aimed his spear at me.
"I'll kill you in 10 seconds. You picked the wrong person to show off to..."
"Yujin-ah!!"
I ignored Jin Seyoung's desperate cry.
The Sword Bastard and Glasses seemed content to watch for now, not intervening.
Accelerate.
"Ha. Look at this guy. He's actually pretty fast "
SLASH!!!
I sliced through the Spear Bastard's neck as I passed. Judging by how easily he fell to my Youngcheon Ryu, he was, at best, E-Rank level.
"Fucking hell!"
"...!"
The Sword Bastard and Glasses immediately turned and fled. I charged after the Sword Bastard first.
Clang!
Our blades clashed. The Sword Bastard grimaced, putting more force into his sword. I was forced back his physical strength was clearly superior.
"Ha. What's the big deal? It's nothing... Gah!"
Youngcheon Ryu Practical Technique: Shadow Snake.
My blade curved like a serpent, piercing through the Sword Bastard's neck.
As expected, he couldn't counter Youngcheon Ryu at all. This technique is even more formidable than I thought.
As I pulled the sword from his neck, his blood splattered across my face. Frankly, it was disgusting.
I sprinted after Glasses, who was fleeing. I was currently using my acceleration skill. I was confident in my speed and quickly closed the distance, soon catching up to him.
"W-wait! I-I was wrong! Just give me one more chance!"
I glanced at Jin Seyoung, who was watching me with wide, startled eyes.
If I had my way, I'd torment him for ignoring me before killing him... but let's just end it.
I swung my sword in a diagonal arc, slicing deeply from his shoulder to his waist.
Glasses collapsed, blood spraying everywhere. I shook the blood off my blade and turned to approach Jin Seyoung. The ring of light was still holding.
"Noona, are you okay?"
"...Are you the one who's okay?"
"Me? I didn't even get hit once. You saw it."
"No, that's not what I mean. This is your first time killing someone, right?"
"Ah."
Ah.
A belated tremor ran through my body. Honestly, I didn't care about those bastards being dead. But I didn't want Jin Seyoung to think I was a psychopath, so I put on a suitably panicked expression.
"Uh, what do we do, Noona?"
"...It's okay. Let's say I killed them. I'll explain everything properly to the Association."
"B-but..."
"If they think you did it, they'll investigate endlessly. But if I, as a member of the Jaun Guild, claim responsibility, they'll just brush it off."
It seemed Jin Seyoung would handle the troublesome matters for me.
I bowed my head deeply, my body trembling slightly. It was all an act.
"It's okay. You'll get used to it as you work as a Hunter. It's actually fortunate you're experiencing this now."
As the ring of light dissipated, she pulled me into an embrace, my face pressing against her chest. I continued to tremble.
Fuck. Is this real? This feels amazing!
Of course, I was trembling on purpose, trying to savor the sensation of Jin Seyoung's breasts as much as possible.
Three days had passed since my first real-world Dungeon experience.
Despite committing my first murder in reality, my daily life remained unchanged. I later learned that the robbers I killed were already under surveillance by the Association.
The thugs had bribed an Association employee guarding the dungeon entrance to gain access and commit robbery.
The employee was arrested, and ?17 million in compensation was paid out.
For reference, A-Rank crime hunters have bounties of at least ?10 billion. These thugs were mere pawns, worth less than 1% of that amount.
Officially, Jin Seyoung was credited with killing the robbers, but she handed me the 17 million without hesitation. For a B-Rank Hunter like her, that sum wasn't particularly tempting.
Now, should I start... acting more openly?
Upon arriving at Shadow Heaven Sword Hall, I changed into my newly purchased workout gear: a spandex set that clung tightly to my body. The top was a T-shirt, and the bottoms were short shorts that reached just above the knees.
"Heh heh."
I smirked wickedly, eyeing the prominent bulge in my crotch. I'd deliberately gone without underwear, allowing the unmistakable outline of my large cock to press against my tight-fitting shorts.
"Oh? You changed your workout clothes?" Jin Seyoung asked.
"Yeah. I got them on sale. I heard this style is trending now."
Trending? What a load of bull. I lied shamelessly, watching Jin Seyoung out of the corner of my eye.
Ever since she'd glanced at my body earlier, she'd been desperately avoiding looking down.
How long can she keep that up?
As we chatted briefly, I scanned her body. She was wearing gray leggings and a black tank top, and it didn't seem like she had a bra on.
Her nipples aren't poking out... nipple covers, maybe?
I quietly swallowed, already certain she was masturbating with the tissue I'd used. This was further proof that Jin Seyoung's body was burning with desire.
Today, I'll definitely have her.
First, I did some simple warm-up exercises with Jin Seyoung. Pretending to focus on the stretches, I caught her stealing glances at my groin.
Still so interested.
I made up various excuses to initiate physical contact. My plan was to use the Sensual Enhancement Skill to heighten her sexual arousal.
"Noona, there's something on your shoulder. Oh... never mind. I must have misseen."
"Ugh... really?"
"You seem a bit stiff today. Let's stretch. Noona, can you press on my back?"
"Ah, okay."
I never tried to hide or shrink back. Instead, I deliberately spread my legs wide and began exercising, slowly feeling the blood rush to my groin.
Just a little. Just a slight erection.
Controlling my erection was difficult, but I managed it. My cock now pressed against my pants, its glans clearly visible.
My seduction of Jin Seyoung was working perfectly. She couldn't stop glancing at my groin, her body flushed with arousal, emitting a musky, lustful scent.
"Noona, can you spot me on the bench press? I'm going for 230kg today."
"Are you sure? You don't need to push yourself so hard. You're already making steady progress."
"Even an average F-Rank Hunter can lift 230kg easily. I can do it too."
As I said that, I lay down on the bench press. Jin Seyoung stood above my head, ready to spot me in case of an accident. When I looked up, I could see the underside of her protruding breasts.
Her crotch was directly above my head. Even through her leggings, I could smell the distinct scent of her vagina.
A quick glance revealed a small, pinky-sized stain on her crotch.
If it's soaked through her panties and leggings... just how much vaginal fluid is she leaking?
I was almost desperate to strip her down and examine her vagina.
"One, two~"
I lifted the barbell in time with her counting. It definitely wobbled a bit.
...Ah. I'm getting hard.
The view of her breasts from below and the lingering scent of her vagina were more than enough to arouse me. Even against my will, blood rushed to my cock, making it stiffen.
It wasn't a full erection. I desperately held back that much.
"Ah..."
"Noona, what's wrong?"
"Ah, nothing. One, two..."
She must be looking at my cock. No, she couldn't help but look. I stood up from the bench press, drenched in sweat.
Then, pretending to be flustered, I covered my groin with my hand.
"Th-this...! Uh, I couldn't help it... Noona! I'll finish my workout in the private training room!"
I dashed into the private training room, deliberately leaving the door slightly ajar. I immediately stripped off my clothes. Looking in the mirror, my body glistened with sweat. I slumped to the floor and slowly began stroking my cock.
A minute passed. I felt a gaze. Glancing sideways, I confirmed it was Jin Seyoung, her face flushed, watching me through the open door.
Damn it. I can't take this anymore!
I rushed over and flung the door open.
"Noona!"
"Ah?!"
"Sorry, Noona! Honestly, this is your fault."
I grabbed Jin Seyoung's shoulders, pulled her into the training room, and slammed the door shut.
"Y-Yujin-ah. Calm down... Mmph!"
I pulled her into a tight embrace and kissed her. She was a B-Rank Hunter. If she genuinely wanted to push me away, I'd have no chance. But she didn't resist.
"Noona. Noona. Noona..."
Calling her, I sucked on her soft lips, my tongue darting inside to probe. Jin Seyoung reluctantly parted her lips slightly. I scanned her even teeth before my tongue began to tease.
"Mmmph. Mmm..."
I pulled her close, one hand gripping her back tightly, the other slowly stroking her side.
My fully erect cock pressed firmly against her abdomen. I moved my hips slowly, savoring the feel of her abdomen through her thin tank top.
[Sensual Enhancement Skill activated. Vitality is continuously being consumed.]
The Sensual Enhancement Skill works best with more points of contact.
I held Jin Seyoung tightly, refusing to let go. My tongue was already inside her mouth, and my hands were slowly caressing her sensitive areas: her left ear and the inside of her thigh.
"Ahng...!"
