Chapter 28: Yeongcheon Style [2]

A week has passed.

Today, as usual, I returned to my studio apartment after training at the Yeongcheon Sword Hall, feeling my body trembling slightly.

It's the muscle soreness I've been feeling every day for the past week without fail.

At home, I gritted my teeth and stared at the time displayed on my smartphone screen.

And when 10 minutes passed, the cooldown ended. Without hesitation, I used the skill.

'Complete Recovery.'

The muscle soreness disappeared in an instant.

'If it weren't for Complete Recovery, I would've quit right away, regardless of Jin Se-young or anyone else.'

I immediately lay down on the bed. Even though my body was fine, my mind was exhausted.

Jin Se-young isn't just tough—she's downright Spartan. If she shouted, "This is Sparta!" I'd nod in agreement within a second.

'Complete Recovery is really good.'

At first, I hesitated to use Complete Recovery. I thought all the effort I put into training would go to waste if the effects of the exercise disappeared. It would be like pouring water into a bottomless pot.

'But the training effects didn't disappear.'

As proof, my stats increased.

=====

[Name: Seong Eugene]

[Level: 16]

[Stats]

[Strength: 12]

[Stamina: 11]

[Agility: 11]

[Intelligence: 2]

[Vitality: 15]

[Available Points: 30]

=====

Even though I didn't allocate any points, my Strength, Stamina, and Agility went up.

'And since I've been regularly going to the Vampire Detective world to relieve my sexual desires, I've accumulated 30 points.'

I pondered where to spend these points.

If you hoard them, they'll go to waste.

I somewhat agree with that saying.

If I increase my physical stats, Jin Seyoung will notice like a ghost and raise the intensity of the training. Plus, it's obvious that the higher the stats, the harder it is to improve them through training.

'Increasing Vitality isn't bad either… but maybe I should go for the random draw? No, that's too much of a gamble. Let's upgrade a skill.'

[Acceleration Lv.3]

[Accelerates the body for 10 minutes.]

[Cooldown: 1 hour.]

I invested 3 points. It required a whopping 5 points to reach level 4, so I stopped here.

'Maybe I should upgrade the Hacking skill.'

Then, the Erogenous Zone Detection skill caught my eye.

As skills level up, their effects improve. So, if I level up Erogenous Zone Detection, will only the cooldown decrease? Or will there be new additional effects like with Hacking?

'Additional effects for Erogenous Zone Detection… it's probably a sexy skill.'

It's not that I lack confidence in sex. Quite the opposite.

My large penis and the techniques I've naturally honed through daily sexual activities in the pleasure world are more than enough to make most women moan beneath me.

'But sex skills are a man's dream.'

The ability to make a woman climax just by touching her!

How amazing is that?

"Hehe..."

With a grin that would make anyone uncomfortable, I upgraded the Erogenous Zone Detection skill.

[Use 2 points to upgrade Erogenous Zone Detection to Lv.2?]

I nodded. When it reached level 2, the cooldown decreased, but at level 5, the skill itself changed.

[Erogenous Zone Detection Lv.5 has evolved into Sexual Arousal Lv.5.]

[Sexual Arousal Lv.6]

[‣Erogenous Zone Detection]

[Can detect the erogenous zones of a target. Must be within 5 meters of the target.]

[Cooldown: 30 minutes.]

[‣Sexual Arousal]

[Increases the sexual arousal of the target. The more you touch the target's erogenous zones, the faster their sexual excitement rises.]

[The duration of Sexual Arousal is 5 minutes.]

[Cooldown: 1 hour.]

In other words, it's one skill with two effects.

'Hehehe... This is an amazing skill.'

[Use 2 points to upgrade Sexual Arousal to Lv.6?]

[Yes / No]

The required points didn't change.

As if entranced, I pressed the smartphone screen firmly.

The maximum level was 10. I couldn't go beyond that.

[Sexual Arousal Lv. Master]

[‣Erogenous Zone Detection]

[Can detect the erogenous zones of a target. Must be within 5 meters of the target.]

[‣Sexual Arousal]

[Can heighten the erogenous zones of a target. By making physical contact with the target, you can provide them with mild pleasure and increase their sexual arousal. Touching the target's erogenous zones enhances the effect of Sexual Arousal.]

[Sexual Arousal consumes the user's vitality.]

I curled the corner of my mouth.

I was curious about the extent of Sexual Arousal's effects.

So, I used the skill on myself.

[Using Sexual Arousal. Vitality is continuously consumed.]

'Huh?'

Something inside me… no, throughout my entire body, felt like it was draining away. It was like slowly letting the air out of a large balloon.

'Well, it doesn't seem dangerous.'

It's a sensation you wouldn't notice unless you focused. It wasn't particularly unpleasant.

I grabbed my left wrist with my right hand and rubbed it.

"Oh… oh?!"

It felt good. Clearly, I was touching my own hand, but it felt like someone else was gently caressing it.

If it felt this good just by touching myself, how much better would it be if I touched someone else's body? The effect would undoubtedly be greater.

'My erogenous zones are my dick and neck, right?'

I rubbed my neck with my right hand.

'...!!'

A shiver ran down my spine. This felt better than I had imagined.

After rubbing my neck for about 10 seconds, my dick was fully erect.

Of course, just touching it wasn't enough to make me climax. But Sexual Arousal's effect increases over time.

'Let's try jerking off with this.'

I watched a room sex video I had recorded earlier and jerked off, ejaculating in less than 3 minutes.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

I gasped for breath. Cold sweat dripped down my cheeks. My body was fine, but I felt completely drained.

I wasn't the type to get this tired from just one ejaculation. This was because of the Sexual Arousal skill.

The Sexual Arousal skill is real. The problem is that I don't have enough vitality to maintain it for long.

"Damn it… my dick isn't even hard anymore…"

What is vitality?

The answer is libido.

If vitality were physical stamina, there's no reason my dick wouldn't get hard. I'm the type of guy whose dick gets hard no matter how tired I am.

But after just one round of jerking off, my dick completely died. It's impossible for it to get hard again today.

[Ending the use of Sexual Arousal.]

"I need to be careful when using this…."

Lying on the bed, I simply closed my eyes. I didn't want to move anymore today.

***

The next day.

I subtly used the Sexual Arousal skill on Jin Se-young.

"Noona, have some water."

A week had passed, and Jin Se-young and I had become close enough to drop formalities. Spending over 4 hours together everyday training and talking, it would be strange if we didn't get close.

"Ah, thanks."

When Jin Se-young took the water cup I handed her, our fingers accidentally touched. I used Sexual Arousal.

[Using Sexual Arousal. Vitality is continuously consumed.]

"Ah!"

Jin Se-young flinched in surprise but then took the cup and tilted her head in confusion.

[Ending the use of Sexual Arousal.]

Although Sexual Arousal provides mild pleasure and increases sexual arousal, it's hard to expect a significant effect from brief contact. And from what I tested yesterday, the effect varies depending on the area touched.

'But there's a saying that quantity makes up for quality. What if I keep making brief contact? Heh heh.'

Of course, I don't think I can sleep with her just because of this. If life were that easy, the world would be a more peaceful place.

"One~ Two~"

"Ugh…!"

Jin Se-young trained alongside me. Strangely, she could instantly spot even the slightest mistake in my posture.

"Be careful with your back! And your elbow angle!"

Jin Se-young approached me in frustration and adjusted the angle of my elbow. I smiled inwardly.@@novelbin@@

[Using Sexual Arousal. Vitality is continuously consumed.]

There was no surprised reaction like the first time we touched. Her face and actions seemed normal as if there was no effect.

'But I trust the Play Life app.'

[Ending the use of Sexual Arousal.]

Next was the basic techniques class of the Yeongcheon Style.

"No, you can't swing the sword like that. It might feel uncomfortable now, but once you get used to it, that posture will feel more natural. Focus on your waist."

[Using Sexual Arousal. Vitality is continuously consumed.]

Jin Se-young touched my waist to adjust one of the basic stances of the Yeongcheon Style.

[Ending the use of Sexual Arousal.]

I cleverly used Sexual Arousal. I activated it only when she made contact and ended it immediately after.

"…Phew. It's kind of hot. I should lower the air conditioner. Just a moment."

The temperature was the same as usual.

In other words, the effect of Sexual Arousal had raised her body temperature. I chuckled inwardly. Thanks to Sexual Arousal, today's training felt a bit easier.
I kept laughing inwardly, but after an hour, I couldn't laugh anymore.

'…I'm turned on.'

Jin Se-young was sweating more than usual. She was channelling her sexual arousal into her focus on training. I could hear her slightly flushed cheeks and the subtle sensuality in her breathing.

The scent emanating from Jin Se-young's body was stimulating me.

'…I need to relieve my sexual desires in the Vampire Detective world again today.'

I focused on maintaining my posture in the Yeongcheon Style, careful not to get an erection.

***

It seemed like the training and exercises at the Yeongcheon Sword Hall would continue.

But today, two weeks in.

The end of that life was in sight.

"…Eugene. I'm sorry to say this, but… it seems like you don't have talent for the Yeongcheon Style."

Jin Se-young said to me with a serious expression.

I remembered something I had forgotten. To continue here, I needed to have talent for the Yeongcheon Style.

"…I think I can do it if I keep going?"

I stubbornly insisted.

Truthfully, I also knew I had no talent.

I hadn't made any progress since a week ago. I had memorized all the basic techniques of the Yeongcheon Style, but when I tried to perform them in sequence, they didn't flow smoothly. When the stances connect, they form movements, and those movements are the basics of the Yeongcheon Style. They should flow like water, but mine creaked like a poorly oiled machine.

"You know it too. It's been a week, and there's no sign of improvement."

"..."

Jin Se-young was right. Even when I focused all my energy on maintaining the stances, they still creaked when transitioning.

"Sigh… It's not that you're particularly untalented. Most people fail at this part. That's why I value talent so much."

"...I don't even know why I'm failing. Is the movement itself impossible?"

"I can do it properly. The movements are fine. But… I can't deny that there's a lack of data. I told you, right? The reason I'm a hunter trainer is to gather data. We need a variety of data to refine the basics of the Yeongcheon Style."

"..."

"I'm sorry. But I'll still teach you diligently for the remaining two weeks. Maybe your potential will bloom later?"

"…Yeah. Well, it can't be helped."

I forced myself to reply.

And that day, when I returned to my studio apartment, I let out a small curse.

"…Damn it."

I wasn't angry at Jin Se-young. I act impulsively, but I can assess situations. Jin Se-young had told me from the start. She would evaluate my talent for the Yeongcheon Style over a month. If she had suddenly told me today, I would've been furious, but she had informed me from the beginning.

"This sucks."

I was angry at myself.

This talentless body.

I thought I wouldn't feel this damn frustration after awakening my pleasure life abilities.

"I haven't even slept with Jin Se-young yet…!"

I know. Jin Se-young has been subtly touching my body on purpose. The effort I put into using Sexual Arousal is finally paying off.

Of course, I can't sleep with her just because of this, but physical touch greatly helps in getting closer to someone.

"Why, of all things, do I have to lack talent?!"

I never cared about talent before, but today, I resented the fact that I had none. I grabbed the iron sword leaning in the corner of the room. And I performed the basic techniques of the Yeongcheon Style.

"Why! Why! Why won't it work?!"

I swung the sword fiercely. I moved exactly as I was taught, but the movements were choppy, with gaps in between. The transitions weren't smooth.

The tip of the sword tore through the wallpaper, but I gritted my teeth and kept swinging.

After almost 10 minutes of swinging the sword in a trance, I collapsed to the floor. I didn't have the strength to hold the sword anymore.

"Huff… Huff… Damn it…."

What am I even doing in my studio apartment?

Feeling a wave of self-loathing, I reflexively pulled out my smartphone. At this point, the Play Life app was my mental anchor.

"…Huh?"

When I opened the app, a notification I had never seen before appeared.

[Conditions have been met.]

[You can unlock the 'Yeongcheon Style' trait.]
