I entered the private waiting room assigned to me.
As far as I knew, only a handful of male actors in the AV industry were granted private waiting rooms. Whether it was because of my financial contributions or the Kagaya Group's influence, I was certainly receiving above-average treatment.
I sat down and opened the script to the first page.
-Joggwi, the SSS-Class Time Stop Man from Korea!
Despite being a script, there wasn't much dialogue. In adult videos, sex scenes are far more important than conversation, and female actors take precedence over male ones.
Hmm. It looks like this shoot will be longer than I expected. Most of my requests have been incorporated too...
Today, I'll be filming an adult video with five actresses, all top stars in the AV industry. Two of them refused to do vaginal ejaculation scenes, which means I'll have to use condoms something I'm not particularly fond of.
Well, what can you do? I'll just have to accommodate them this time. Besides, they might ask me to take it off halfway through.
I finished reading the script and set it down on the table. Having focused intently on it, I memorized the lines relatively easily.
For the record, the AV we're filming today will, of course, be sold. I'll get a share of the sales revenue, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
The Japanese might buy it, but Koreans will definitely watch it illegally.
It didn't seem like it would make much money. Besides, I wasn't shooting adult videos for the money. Even if I didn't earn any sales revenue, it wouldn't matter. This was my hobby, after all.
I glanced excitedly at the wall clock. Time seemed to be moving unusually slowly.
With fifteen minutes until filming began, I pulled out the outfit Director Hatsuzen had told me to wear from the closet and put it on.
Well, it was just a white triangle brief over my bare body.
I nodded in satisfaction as I looked in the mirror. My exceptionally pale skin for a man and my well-defined, combat-ready muscles pleased me.
This is the body of a Hunter! Now, time to go to work... or rather, time to go have sex!
Korean erotic films only pretend to have sex, while Japanese adult videos actually show it. Unless Korean erotic films start featuring real sex, they will never catch up to Japanese AV.
"Sex!"
This AV shoot was rushed, so many steps were skipped, like script readings and rehearsals. That's why Hatsuzen, sitting in the director's chair and barking orders at the crew, looked so irritable. Quality requires time and thorough preparation.
Unlike the director, the rest of the crew were in high spirits. They were promised bonuses after this shoot, so quality was the least of their concerns. They probably figured the director would take all the blame anyway.
I approached Director Hatsuzen.
"You're here...?" Hatsuzen said gruffly, then his eyes widened as he took in my physique and groin. His surprise was palpable even through his sunglasses.
I am a bit on the larger side, aren't I? Among East Asians, few can match my endowment. Heh heh heh.
I could have amplified my size further if I wanted, but this was just right for me.
"I heard you're an Awakened with the Vitality Amplification ability... Is that true?"
"Yes, it's true. If you doubt it, just watch. I'll show you why I'm called the Cock Ability User."
I nodded confidently at Hatsuzen's question. I had written that myself in my profile to make my superhuman stamina seem more plausible. I couldn't reveal the Pleasure World App over something so trivial.
"A Cock Ability User... That's certainly intriguing. But why would an Awakened choose to become an AV actor instead of a Hunter? The social prestige and financial rewards of being a Hunter would far surpass anything you could achieve here."
"My ability is Vitality Amplification. It's completely useless in combat."
"Hmm. Now that I think about it, you're right."
Just then, a staff member approached. The way he confidently approached Hatsuzen suggested he wasn't just an ordinary crew member.
"Director Hatsuzen, is this Mr. Joggwi?"
"Yes, this is Joggwi. He's Korean, I believe."
"Really?!"
The man's eyes widened in surprise as he extended his hand toward me. I shook it, though his touch wasn't particularly welcome. As a member of today's filming crew, I had to show some courtesy. Besides, right now I wasn't Sung Yujin, but rather Joggwi, the AV actor.
"I'm Joggwi."
"Sasaki! You're the Joggwi from Korea, right? Your physique is exactly as I imagined! I've always been curious about your face, but I never expected you to be this handsome!"
"You know me?"
"Of course! You're Joggwi from SexNet, aren't you?!"
SexNet.
An illegal website where pornographic content is uploaded. It's also the site where I post my adult videos under the name Joggwi. Most of my videos rank among the top performers, and some are even being considered for the hall of fame.
"You watch SexNet? That's surprising. I thought it was only popular in Korea."
"Haha. Chinese and Japanese viewers watch it a lot too. They just don't show it openly."
This wasn't particularly surprising.
About 20% of the videos on SexNet feature foreigners, and some even include active AV actresses.
"If possible, could I get Ju Seohyun's contact information? I'd love to film with her. With her talent, she could become a top-tier actress in no time!"
Ju Seohyun.
Her videos were quite popular, thanks to her large breasts and striking beauty. She was frequently mentioned on domestic online forums, with many praising the intensity of her dramatic performances.
Hmm. Suddenly, I felt an urge to fuck Ju Seohyun.
"She's not particularly interested in AV. She's my sex friend, and I had to beg her just to film those videos."
Ju Seohyun was a character from the God's Atlantis Game World, making it impossible to bring her here. And unless she genuinely wanted to, she would never agree to film an AV.
"...I see. That's a shame. If she ever changes her mind, please contact me. Here's my business card."
I accepted the business card. I'd assumed he was part of Director Hatsuzen's staff, but it turned out he was an independent AV director. Judging by his youthful appearance, he was definitely a newcomer.
"...You're bowing first? Is SexNet really that impressive?" Hatsuzen asked Sasaki.
"Director Hatsuzen, SexNet isn't what it used to be. It's going to evolve even further. A-Class actresses are already showing interest."
"Still, it's just amateur videos, right?"
"...I can't deny that."
He was right.
Even I had to admit it. Out of every thousand videos on SexNet, fewer than ten could rival professionally produced AVs. Most of the content suffered from poor video quality, and the women rarely showed their faces.
"But among the videos, there are some truly exceptional ones. Lord Cock's videos are a prime example. Beyond the high-quality visuals, the female performers are simply outstanding. Ju Seohyun, in particular, has the potential to become the queen of the AV industry. Oh, and I believe Yu Seohee also possesses remarkable talent. The recent videos I've seen of her show her becoming increasingly seductive."
Yu Seohee's succubus nature explains this. If she continues to develop as a succubus, she might even become a goddess of the AV industry.
Sasaki was quite talkative. Perhaps he was trying to persuade me to recruit Ju Seohyun and Yu Seohee.
"Sasaki, enough. Let's start filming."
"Understood. But are you really skipping the rehearsal?"
"We don't have time for that. We'll probably be shooting until dawn."
"I'll bring the actress over."
Sasaki hurried off.
"Joggwi, listen carefully. This isn't sex, it's an AV shoot. Don't forget that. Always be aware of the camera's position, don't cum without my signal, and wait for my cue. Also, be considerate of the actress..."
I listened silently to Hatsuzen's instructions. Just then, before the actress arrived, a male actor approached Director Hatsuzen.
He had an ordinary face, but his muscular physique was visible beneath his shirt and jeans. He approached with a smile and greeted Hatsuzen.
"I finished my previous shoot as quickly as possible, Hatsuzen-san. And... it's nice to meet you, Mr. Joggwi."
I tensed up, recognizing the man's face instantly.
Saito.
The legendary male AV actor, having starred in over 10,000 films!
The man I'd admired since childhood!
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Saito!"
"Ha ha. Nice to meet you too, Mr. Joggwi. I've heard the situation from Mr. Hatsuzen. If you have time later, would you mind telling me more about SexNet? I'm very interested in the Korean market."
"Of course. But I never expected you to come, Mr. Saito..."
I knew some male actors would be present. I assumed they wouldn't actually be having sex, but rather playing supporting roles, jerking off and spraying fake ejaculate.
There's no way they'd make Saito do something like that...
Hatsuzen explained, seeing my puzzled expression.
"Joggwi, I've called in a replacement in case you can't handle it. I apologize for not informing you beforehand."
"It's alright, Director Hatsuzen. I understand your concerns."
Director Hatsuzen still didn't trust me completely. He was impressed by my physique and cock, but that was all.
In AV, technique matters more than physical prowess. Besides, filming sex is different from real sex.
I didn't resent Director Hatsuzen. I was confident I could prove my skills.
Soon, an actress in a formal suit entered the room. She had a B-cup bust, but her curvy figure, cute face, and ample hips made her an S-Rank actress in the AV industry. Her name was Akagi.
Despite her cute face, she was quite arrogant. She greeted the director and Saito with relative warmth, but merely said "Please take care of me" to me before walking off to join the staff and her manager.
"Ms. Akagi is just shy," Saito said, trying to reassure me. "Don't take it personally. She's a professional, so she'll perform well during the shoot."
"...Yes. Yes."
Saito's words were meant to comfort me, but I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, I was thrilled. Soon, Akagi and I would be filming an intense scene together, centered on my massive cock!
"Akagi refuses to do anything she doesn't want to. Well, you're handsome and have a great physique, so she probably let it slide this time... But there's no guarantee she'll be so lenient in the future. Be careful how you act."
Having been paid over 100 million won (approximately $75,000 USD), she wouldn't boycott the project over a minor mistake on my part.
"Thank you for the advice," I said.
While Akagi prepared, I used the time to gather information about her from Saito. Having been involved with over ten thousand AV actresses, Saito naturally knew quite a bit about Akagi.
I subtly probed him about the Kagaya Group, but he seemed unaware of it.
Shortly after, filming began.
The studio set was designed to resemble a corporate office.
Akagi played a renowned career woman, while I was cast as a freak who had infiltrated the company.
The scene opened with Akagi seductively working at her desk. Then, on Director Hatsuzen's cue, I burst into the office wearing only a pair of briefs, exactly as the script required!
The SSS-Class Time Stop Man Joggwi had arrived.
"Aaaah!" Akagi cried out on cue at the sight of me. While her acting skills might pale in comparison to those of drama or film actors, she was considered top-tier in the AV industry.
"Hehehehe..."
Grinning darkly, I stalked toward Akagi.
Akagi bolted upright from her chair and backed away, delivering her next line flawlessly.
"D-don't come any closer! I'll call the police! Get out of here now!"
"Do you really think the police can stop me?"
As Akagi's finger hovered over the dial button on her smartphone prop, I spread my arms wide and shouted, "Time, stop!"
Of course, time didn't actually stop. I don't possess such an ability. On cue, however, Akagi held perfectly still, her eyes wide open.
I strolled leisurely toward her, circling her once to admire how well she maintained the pose before reaching out. I gently took the smartphone prop from her hand and placed it on the table.
According to the script, I'm supposed to tease her here, not attack her directly. Before doing anything else, I quietly confirmed, "We're still following the agreed sensitivity check, right?"
"Yes," Akagi whispered before resuming her frozen pose.
Akagi's agreed erogenous zones for the scene: nose, left knee, left nipple.
Careful to stay within the camera's frame, I reached out and touched Akagi's hair.
