Chapter 19. Spin, Spin, Roulette
"Hyungsik, if there's another modeling job like this next time, would you do it with me again?"
"Huh? Really? Of course, I'd love to..."
Honestly, I knew all too well what I'd done today, so I never expected Yuna noona would suggest we do another modeling gig together.
So, surprised by her unexpected proposal while I was drunk, I immediately agreed.
Hearing my answer, she gave a faint, mysterious smile, said "Alright," and started walking ahead, looking straight forward.
"So it's a promise that we'll do it together next time too?"
"Yeah, I get paid a lot and get to work with such a pretty noona, so of course I'm happy..."
Matching her steps as she kept confirming my answer, I soon found myself in front of my rooftop room and her villa.
Maybe because I was drunk, it felt like I'd gotten home in an instant.
"Hyungsik, get home safe. I'll contact you if there's another modeling job."
"Yeah, noona, get home safe."
We exchanged brief goodbyes in front of our homes and parted ways.
Still drunk, I barely managed to climb the stairs to the rooftop, and collapsed onto my bed without even checking the rewards in my inventory.
The next morning, I woke up with a splitting headache from a hangover, clutching my head. First, I made some ramen to settle my queasy stomach.
"Slurp~ slurp slurp"
With bean sprouts and chili powder added for a spicy kick, the ramen calmed my stomach and cleared my spinning head, making me feel alive again.
"Ugh... I thought I was going to die."
A burp and some muttering escaped me as the hangover from last night's drinking faded away. Next time I drink with Yuna noona, I'll have to bring hangover pills...
As I set the empty ramen pot in the sink, I suddenly remembered the quest rewards I hadn't checked because I was too drunk last night.
Completing the main quest and two side quests had earned me 40 points and three high-value items.
Still half-asleep, I put on the glasses I'd left by my pillow and, skipping the familiar system greeting, opened my stats and inventory.

「 Inventory items: Random Skill Book (1), Random Item Draw Ticket (2) 」
Seeing my points and items, earned from pushing myself out of lust yesterday, filled me with satisfaction.
Then came a happy dilemma: should I open the skill book first? Or alternate between item and skill book?
Feeling a tingling anticipation in my chest, I decided to use one of the two random item draw tickets first.
As soon as I took out the die with '?' marks on each face, a large, walnut-sized die appeared in my hand.
Fascinated as always, I examined the die to figure out how to use it.
Then, absentmindedly, I tossed the six-sided die full of '?' marks like a regular die, and an augmented reality (AR) roulette wheel appeared above the die in my lens, spinning as the die stopped moving.
[Charrurururu]
As the roulette spun and the pointer clicked against the segments, the wheel slowed and I could make out the items it was passing.
"Please, please, please..."
Watching the slowly spinning roulette, I found myself clasping my hands and muttering "please" under my breath.
As the wheel started to stop, it was getting closer to the "Penis Awakening Agent" I wanted so badly. If I got that, I could suddenly have a 16 cm member even if I ended up with a woman...
My heart pounded and my mouth went dry as I prayed for the pointer to stop on the awakening agent.
[Tick tidick... tick!]
"Whoa! Huh?..."
Just as the pointer landed on the awakening agent, exactly as I'd hoped, I let out a cheer-but right then, the pointer slipped off and the wheel moved one more space.
「 Congratulations! You have obtained Penis Enhancer (Length) x5, Penis Enhancer (Girth) x3.
*Items obtained through draws do not affect shop purchase prices. 」
Stunned as the 140-point "Penis Awakening Agent" vanished before my eyes, a congratulatory message and the gacha result appeared in my lens.
A total of 8 penis enhancers for length and girth... Items that would cost 13 points in the shop now filled my inventory. Considering a single random item draw ticket costs 50 points in the shop, I actually lost out.
With 140 points instantly turning into 13, I was left speechless, staring at the empty air where the roulette had disappeared.
"Damn it..."
Coming to my senses in this absurd situation, I couldn't help but curse out loud in genuine frustration at drawing junk items.
I mean, what kind of joke is it to stop on a high-value item, then nudge over to a junk prize...
My clenched fist turned white and trembled, but no matter how angry I got, the items I'd received weren't going to change.
Feeling my excitement turn to burning disappointment, I gulped down cold water from the fridge.
The cool water sliding down my throat soothed my burning insides a little, and I sat back on the bed, ready to spin the gacha again with my two remaining chances.
This time, I reached for the "Random Skill Book," not yet knowing what kind of skill it would give.
The skill book, with a red hardcover and a '?' in the center like the die, naturally appeared in my hand.
Hoping for a real reward this time, I opened the skill book, and once again AR appeared in my lens, the pages flipping rapidly.
[Chwaruruk~ Chwak!]
When about half the pages had turned, the flipping slowed and stopped on a certain page.
Then the book floated up, showing me the text on that page.
「 Active Skill – Creepy Gaze (Lv.1): When using this skill, you can peek at an information window about the opposite sex. As the skill level increases, you can obtain more detailed information.
Congratulations! You have successfully obtained your first skill! To celebrate, you have been awarded a gift (10 points). Would you like to hear a detailed explanation of the skill? [yes / no] 」
As the gacha window disappeared, a skill acquisition notification popped up, offering a gift and asking if I wanted an explanation.
Since this was my chance to learn more about the value of "skills," I immediately selected "yes."
The book in my hand vanished, and the "Skill Tutorial" began.
「 There are a total of 24 skills available through the system, divided into 'Active Skills' and 'Passive Skills.' Skills can be acquired by purchasing 'Random Skill Books' in the shop or by completing special quests. Once acquired, skills cannot be deleted. The skill you currently possess, 'Creepy Gaze,' is an active skill. When you use it while looking at the opposite sex, you can obtain information including their physical traits and current physical/psychological state. 」
The system continued to explain how to use "Creepy Gaze," and finished the tutorial by mentioning the number of skills you can hold.
「 You can hold up to 5 skills by default, and can expand your skill slots by purchasing 'Skill Slot' for 500 points in the shop. Additionally, with the end of the tutorial, 'Skill Enhancement Scrolls' will be added to the shop, allowing you to level up each skill. 」
Thinking that "Creepy Gaze," which lets you know the hidden thoughts and information of women, could be quite useful, I was also shocked to learn that expanding skill slots costs 500 points.
If I buy random skill books in the future and get four useless skills in a row, I can't even delete them, so to get a new skill, I'd have to spend 500 points to expand my slots first. Just thinking about the points needed made my head spin.
This system really seems obsessed with gacha...
A total of 50 chapters are available on the patreon
