"Ah, this again?"
I had fallen into this world.
A dangerous world overrun by Heroes, Villains, and Grotesques.
At first, my heart raced. I thought maybe I'd gain some special power and become a Hero who could shake the world.
Sadly, this world was far more boring than I'd imagined.
Hero-Villain battles? I never saw them firsthand. If anything, not seeing them was a stroke of luck.
Villain attacks were no different from 'traffic jams' to me. Whenever the bus or subway got backed up, it was invariably because some Villain was causing terror somewhere.
I never awakened any abilities. Even falling into this world wasn't all that special.
There were plenty of people like me who'd dropped here from various other worlds, and trips by powerless folks like myself weren't exactly rare.
Even the 'Ability Verification Test' that once thrilled me had become a tedious chore.
This was already my sixth test. At this point, I couldn't even fathom why they kept doing them.
Plus, each test left me exhausted for the entire day—like wasting a whole day away.
And I'm a freelancer. Unlike office workers who get paid leave, I was basically kissing a full day's pay goodbye.
'At least think of it as reserve army duty instead... but unlike that, this lasts a lifetime.'
Letting out a deep sigh, I trudged into the Administrative Welfare Center.
"Here for the ability verification? Could I see your resident registration card?"
"Sure..."
"Lee Seong-ha, right?"
"Yes."
"Head to Verification Room 3."
After going through the pointless procedures, I entered the verification room.
"For accuracy, we'll apply a brief ability amplification. You might awaken during this, so don't panic. And even if you do awaken, absolutely do not select any abilities! You could get fined!"
"Got it."
I'd already heard this spiel six times.
'Ha...'
I knew why they did this.
Abilities had no limits. It was too common for hidden Awakeners to conceal their powers, then use hypnosis to seduce women or commit crimes.
I understood, but it was still annoying. Relaxing my body, I quietly sat in the amplification chair.
'Hah.'
Darkness enveloped me.
And then, countless options appeared before my eyes.
'Huh?'
It was a familiar sight.
Awakening.
'No way, this actually worked?'
Awakening during verification was common, but the consensus after the third try was to give up. The odds were basically zero.
Yet what I saw matched the ability windows I'd glimpsed online perfectly.
'Alright. Can't pick right away, but... might as well window-shop.'
I scrolled through the options.
'My points... 13. Kinda low, honestly. Bummer.'
Abilities in this world ran on a point system. You used your limited points to buy potential abilities.
⚔ STATUS ⚔💡 Intelligence Lv.1: 5 points📚 Knowledge Lv.2: 10 points
Available Points: 13
Strength, magic, superpowers—all locked. The only stats I could pick were Intelligence Lv.1 for 5 points or Knowledge Lv.2 for 10. Meh.
Sure, Lv.1 Knowledge was enough brainpower to ace med school, but I'd still have to study myself. No way I was starting that now.
Bumping to Lv.2 would make me a genius Hero, Villain, or researcher with raw intellect alone, but I didn't have the points.
'Tireless Vitality. Eh, too iffy. With so few points, better pick something profitable.'
'Indomitable Will. I'd love this, but too pricey for me.'
After some thought, I eyed a bundle of options sparkling pink.
'What's in there?'
When I checked, I couldn't hide my shock.
'What the hell.'
Sexual abilities.
Ones that made your dick monstrously huge. Sustained erections. Delicious, aromatic semen taste and scent. Increased semen volume or pregnancy control.
'Whoa... insane.'
If I had a few more points, I'd have grabbed them.
'But... what would I even do with these?'
To strengthen abilities, Awakeners had to act in line with them.
Fighters trained strength or stamina; intellectuals used their brains.
But I had no girlfriend. No way to develop sex-related powers.
'Picking those and selling my body could make bank, but...'
Male Awakeners with such powers were rare, but some female ones raked in fortunes as AV stars or hookers. Pleasure beyond human limits.
'Still, no thanks.'
With those, I could pick partners by looks or attitude, fake relationships for cash. But not my thing.
'Can't pick anyway, so enough daydreaming.'
Still, leaving felt like a waste. I checked the rest.
⚡ ABILITY: Master of the Female ⚡You can designate a target as 'Slave' and yourself as 'Master'. Requires mutual consent, and the target must be capable of sound judgment. Apply selected effects to 'Slave' or 'Master' afterward. 'Slave' cannot refuse 'Master's' sexual demands. Additional effects per sub-options.
Cost: 5 points
🧠 Hypnotic Roleplay 🧠'Master' can manipulate 'Slave's' memories. Overly complex changes may cause immediate discomfort.
'Nothing special.'
Not a great pick. 'Master of the Female' cost 5 points alone, and subs ate more.
🛡️ NTR Prevention 🛡️'Slave' cannot feel sexual arousal from anyone but 'Master' or those permitted by 'Master'. 'Slave's' abilities targeting 'Sexual Flaws' in others, or affecting others, apply to 'Master' instead. Mental control abilities forcing sexual acts on 'Slave' are nullified.
Cost: 8 points
'Sounds good.'
If I had 300 points, I'd snag it.
Dump ~200 into combat for powerhouse Hero status, then luxuriate in lifestyle or sex abilities.
But no such luxury for me.
'Master of the Female' 5 points + 'NTR Prevention' 8 = all 13 points gone.
No sane person becomes my slave, so I'd end up powerless.
'Enough window-shopping. Time to bail.'
Darkness lifted. A guide sat before me.
"Congrats on awakening! Must be exhausting, but you need to note what abilities manifested. Fill out this survey now!"
"Okay..."
The amplification chair included a temporary memory boost.
I had to record every option that appeared. Lying meant straight to jail.
'Such a hassle...'
Yawning, I listed the awakened options.
'Well, guess I'm an Awakener now too?'
Suppressing a grin.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
"No, seriously, when can I go home? It's about time to let me leave."
"We're truly sorry. Just wait a bit longer—someone's coming..."
Two hours later.
I still hadn't made it home.
"I did the brainwave imaging scanner too. I've done every damn test. What's left?"
The amplification chair and memory enhancer drained stamina.
No permanent damage, but you'd wander like a half-corpse for a day or two.
I just wanted to crash in bed, but they wouldn't let me go.
"If you're tired, lie on the sofa over there..."
"I want an explanation! I need to know what's going on so I can—"
The door opened.
A petite redhead in a suit strode in, cigarette smoke billowing from her mouth.
Her face looked youthful, clashing with the vice grip on her cig.
"Got the call. This the guy?"
She asked the clerk directly.
"Y-yes!"
"Okay."
Without a word, she grabbed my arm and yanked.
"Follow."
"Hey, who the hell are you? I'm exhausted enough already—ghk!"
She slammed a fist into my gut. Something pierced my flesh.
"Wh-what..."
"You said you were sleepy. Not anymore? Get up."
"Huh?"
Incredibly, the drowsiness melted away like snow.
"Awakening agent."
"No way, something that dangerous..."
Effects this potent meant brutal side effects. Injecting it casually was criminal.
"NV-3. Stocked it for myself, so get moving. Whine again and I'll knock you out and drag you."
"Huh?"
Hero-grade awakening agent. Top-tier for combat. No side effects, but only S-rank Heroes could carry it normally.
"Humanity's Shield 3rd Division 2nd Team Leader, Han Ji-yeon. Follow."
"Pardon?"
Han Ji-yeon. Magical Girl.
Red hair, youthful looks, destructive power, merciless demeanor.
Too tired earlier, and the suit threw me off—I hadn't recognized her.
"Why are you here?"
She shouldn't bother escorting a nobody like me.
"Important. Shut up and walk."
In the back of a big black car, I shivered, imagining grim futures.
'What? Issue with my abilities? Just tell me not to pick 'em. Why's Han Ji-yeon here?'
She only showed for heinous Villains, Grotesques, or Monster outbreaks.
Strongest Korean Magical Girl—her appearance alone assured victory for others.
No clue why she'd handle this grunt work.
"Blindfold... nah, no need. Get out."
"Okay."
I entered a pitch-black sealed building. Han Ji-yeon rode the elevator with me to B16.
"Han Ji-yeon. Didn't I say bring him properly?"
The vibe screamed 'dark.' Decadent eyes.
Even I, oblivious to worldly affairs, knew her.
'Foresight of the Sinking Ship.'
Controls all Heroes and governments, rules the world. Leader of Humanity's Shield.
Nafre. She stood before me.
"This counts as properly brought."
"Your arrogance may threaten the world."
"Then let it perish."
"Out."
The exchange was brutal. Han Ji-yeon shrugged and left.
"Have a seat? Make yourself comfortable."
"Y-yes!"
This was bigger than I'd thought.
Like going for a checkup and meeting the U.S. President—way more shocking.
"Not sure where to start."
I desperately gauged her. What did she want from me?
Humanity's Shield literally shielded the world from apocalypse. Petty Villains or Monsters? Ignored.
Dragging me here urgently meant I was tied to some catastrophe—
"Lee Seong-ha."
"Yes?"
"Do you trust people?"
She tossed an incomprehensible question.
