I shifted my gaze to the protagonist's grown daughter. Her wary glare and defiant posture suggested a strong-willed personality. Though she was grimy, I could tell that once cleaned up, she'd be exactly my type.
Originally, I planned to take the protagonist's family out immediately, but... time for a change of plans!
For now, I'll hide here with them. In this desperate situation, people's emotions will be running high, creating the perfect opportunity to seduce the protagonist's grown daughter.
"Everyone," I announced, "I ended up here by accident. Since we're all in this together, let's cooperate and try to escape."
"Ugh! How many times do I have to tell you to shut up?!"
"Old man... no, Grandpa. You're the one making all the noise! And you should at least introduce yourself if you want our relationship to..."
Thump.
"Huh?"
Grandpa's eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the spot behind me where the sound had come from.
I turned to see the monster rising from the corner, its eyes meeting mine.
"Ah, shit."
The plan had failed before it even began.
"Damn it! Didn't I tell you to be quiet?! Run for your lives now!"
As the protagonist's family gritted their teeth and tried to flee, the monster lunged at me, its jaws gaping wide.
Yeongcheon Style, Jade Stream.
I sidestepped the monster and slashed my sword, cleaving through its body. The creature, bisected to its core, never moved again.
"..."
The protagonist's family, who had been scrambling to escape, froze and stared at me.
I flicked the blood off my blade, slung it over my shoulder, and grinned.
"Actually, I'm a Hunter. I'm an expert at killing monsters."
My gaze lingered on the protagonist's grown daughter. The original plan had gone awry, but surely this was enough to make her fall for me, right?
The car I was driving pulled up in front of an old villa on the outskirts of Seoul.
Clunk!
The car doors swung open, and the protagonist's family, who had been crammed into the back seat, tumbled out.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
The grandfather, who had been riding in the passenger seat, bowed deeply. I glanced at his bald spot and waved dismissively.
"No need for thanks. Just get out."
"We can't let our benefactor leave like this! We don't have much, but at least let us treat you to dinner!"
"If you insist, I suppose I have no choice. And why do you say you have nothing? You have your family, don't you?"
"Heh heh. You're right. My family is my greatest pride."
"Yes, yes. You must be very proud."
I glanced at the grandfather's adult granddaughter and smirked.
The protagonist of the Miracle on the Han River has achieved a happy ending.
The first condition of the quest has been met.
You will be transported to the next quest world in 10 seconds.
The ending of the Miracle on the Han River can be viewed after completing the quest.
I frowned at the notification windows flashing before my eyes.
Damn it! I haven't even had the chance to win her over yet!
Currently progressing through the 'Protagonist's Guardian Angel!' quest.
The ongoing Game World is 'Supreme Grandmaster of the Great Ultimate'.
I sat on the second floor of the Clear Breeze Inn, gazing out the window at an old beggar begging in the street below.
Is this good luck or bad?
Supreme Grandmaster of the Great Ultimate is a martial arts novel. Goa, an orphan, would likely be training the Taiji Fist at the Wudang Sect by now.
And the old beggar right in front of me is the final boss and mastermind.
The old beggar, once a ronin, would later be abducted by the Imperial Palace. The palace was secretly conducting inhumane experiments on captured demons, and the old beggar consumed a demon, transforming into one himself. His body rejuvenated, and he gained the power to manipulate people.
Driven by vengeance against the Martial World that had brought him such misery, the old beggar set his schemes in motion. The protagonist, caught in the old beggar's machinations, would grow stronger through the ordeal, losing two comrades and the heroine along the way.
"I could acquire Martial Arts or Spirit Medicine in this world, but it would take too much time. Besides, there are plenty of other worlds where I can obtain those things."
I pulled a pistol from my coat and aimed it at the old beggar.
If I kill him, the quest should be completed, right? If not, things will get complicated.
I pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The old beggar's body collapsed to the ground. Nearby passersby glanced around, startled by the gunshot, but quickly resumed their movements as if nothing had happened. None of them paid any attention to the beggar.
The protagonist of 'Supreme Grandmaster of the Great Ultimate' has achieved a happy ending.
You have fulfilled the second condition of the quest.
You will be transported to the next quest world in 10 seconds.
The ending for 'Supreme Grandmaster of the Great Ultimate' can be viewed after completing the quest.
The first thing I felt upon entering the next world was the sea breeze slapping my face.
...A yacht?
I leaned against the yacht's railing. The yacht was sailing across the sea, but I had no idea where we were headed.
Focusing my hearing, I picked up a lively commotion nearby the voices of young men and women. They were speaking English, but I understood it as if it were my native tongue.
...Come to think of it, I'm holding a beer can in my hand.
I chugged the remaining half of the beer and tossed the can into the sea.
What kind of world is this final, third one?
You are currently progressing through the 'Protagonist's Guardian Angel!' quest.
The ongoing Game World is 'Monday the 11th.'
Ah, Monday the 11th. Was that a horror movie? Another easy world this time.
If that's the case, this yacht must be heading to a small island with a resort. The island is home to a killer named Johnson.
The movie's ending... everyone dies at the hands of the killer, right? Just take out the killer, then.
This was practically a guaranteed Quest completion.
Where should I use the Skill Enhancement Ticket? Hacking? Sensory Amplification? Complete Recovery?
As I was happily pondering this, someone approached me.
It was a brown-haired man, the protagonist of 'Monday the 11th'... What was his name again? I couldn't quite remember.
"Sung Yujin! What are you doing here all alone, looking so pathetic?"
"Just enjoying the sea for a moment. But why are we here again?"
"Ha ha. You always make such odd jokes. Fine, I'll play along this time. We came to Offrica Island for summer vacation."
"...Ah, right. We came to have a three-day sex party on the island, didn't we?"
"Oh..."
The protagonist's face stiffened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and smirked slyly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're just here for a wholesome three-day vacation. Though... with young men and women together, a few spicy things might happen."
"Spicy things? I'm thinking more like explosive things."
"Then let's make it explosive!"
I followed the protagonist down to the lower deck of the yacht. Young men and women were enjoying drinks and barbecue on the upper deck.
Including the yacht's captain, the two resort managers, and myself, there were a total of fourteen people on board.
Most of them were strikingly attractive. This was no surprise, considering they were all movie stars in real life.
...Oh?
Among them, a beauty in shorts and a T-shirt particularly caught my eye.
Her blonde hair sparkled in the sunlight, contrasting with her porcelain skin. Her limbs stretched gracefully, and her figure boasted a voluptuous E-cup bust, a slender waist, and full hips. I couldn't tear my gaze from the curve of her hips flowing from her waist. The subtle stirring in my groin was just a bonus.
I locked eyes with her, her face radiating a seductive allure. She scanned my body from head to toe before a smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.
For context, I was currently wearing nothing but shorts. My upper body showcased well-defined combat muscles, and a noticeable bulge in my groin area demanded attention.
"Yujin! Where have you been? And... your body is incredible! You must have been working out like crazy?"
Her words drew the attention of everyone nearby, their gazes converging on me.
"Whoa... is that even possible to achieve through exercise? I've never seen a body like that before."
"Wasn't he supposed to be a nerd? What kind of physique is that...?"
"Wow, Yujin! You're totally hot."
"But what's that black thing you're holding?"
Someone pointed at the smartphone in my hand and asked, "What's that?" This was an era before smartphones were common; even if you had a mobile phone, it would be a brick-like device.
"Oh, this? It's just a toy. A toy. Don't worry about it."
I slipped the smartphone into my pocket and approached them, naturally joining their conversation.
Through the conversation, I learned that the protagonist's name was Brad, and the blonde beauty was Jessie. Another woman caught my eye a White woman with black hair and blue eyes named Rachel. Though her glasses and plain clothes made her less striking than Jessie, my experienced eye couldn't be fooled. If she took off her glasses and changed her clothes, she'd be just as beautiful as Jessie.
I approached Rachel and spoke to her.
"You haven't been eating much and you've been frowning. Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's just seasickness. I'll be fine once we reach the island."
"If it gets too bad, why don't you go inside?"
"It's not that bad. Thanks for your concern."
She smiled, and I smiled back.
A subtle tension hung between us.
Is it because we're in the West? Or is it the atmosphere of a horror movie? She seems easy to get with... Heh heh.
Rachel wasn't the only one showing interest in me. Jessie was also giving me the eye, though in her case, it probably had more to do with my impressive physique and... well, you know.
We arrived at a deserted island with nothing but a resort. The island was roughly 3 kilometers in size and covered in tropical rainforest.
The yacht dropped us and our luggage off before immediately departing. It would return in three days, meaning we were stranded on the island until then.
"Rachel, let me carry your luggage. You're not feeling well."
"I'm fine now that we're off the boat. The seasickness is gone."
"You just got off the boat. How could you possibly be fine? Give it here."
I snatched Rachel's luggage. An ordinary man would struggle, but my strength far surpassed that of an average person. The difficulty lay not in the weight, but in gripping the awkward bundle.
"Hmm? Rachel gets special treatment?"
"Rachel isn't feeling well. ...Hmm. Jessie, you look tired too. Okay, give me your luggage."
Before Jessie could protest, I had already taken her bag. With my own luggage on my back, Rachel's in my right hand, and Jessie's in my left, I was fully loaded.
"I... I'm fine, really..." Jessie insisted.
"It's not heavy at all."
Jessie met my gaze directly. I returned her stare, and we both sensed the heat and desire simmering in each other's eyes.
When I grinned, Jessie responded with a sexy smile of her own.
After about a fifteen-minute walk, we arrived at the resort.
The wooden resort was grand and luxurious, its front facing a shallow, crystal-clear sea.
We each settled into our assigned rooms and unpacked. Jessie and Rachel expressed their gratitude, and their obvious affection made the corners of my lips curl upward.
Now, if I just find the right place and set the mood, I can definitely get them into bed... Heh heh heh.
Some of the men glared at me with envy, but I ignored them. I had no reason to care about what they thought.
Once we finished unpacking, we gathered on the first floor of the resort.
Twelve of us in total, excluding the two caretakers.
Seven men and five women.
"Alright, everyone, gather around!" Frank called out, drawing our attention. With his short blonde hair and status as a college football star, he was the mastermind behind this trip. The resort itself belonged to his father.
"Since we'll be bored just hanging around, I've planned some events."
"Events?"
"It's a treasure hunt! A treasure hunt! I've hidden capsules all over the island. Bring me those capsules, and I'll exchange them for treasure. Like the latest computers or designer dresses?"
"Ooooooh!"
"The deadline is the day we leave the island three days. Find the treasure and bring it to me by then."
"Yes! The latest computer is mine!"
"Alright, let's start now! Treasure hunters, start hunting! Swimmers, hit the water! Let's drink and have fun freely for these three days!"
We all scattered to do our own thing.
I pretended to search for treasure while hovering near Jessie and Rachel. I steadily built rapport with them through conversation.
Trying to pressure them would be easy, but that would ruin everything. I only wanted it if they chose it freely.
As time passed, the day gradually turned to dusk.
We gathered for steak and then went our separate ways. Some drank heavily, others swam, and some returned to their rooms to sleep.
"Sung Yujin! I think I've found the treasure... Could you help me?" Jessie called out.
"Treasure? You found it already? Impressive, Jessie! Of course, I'll help."
I followed Jessie into the forest behind the resort. Her large hips, encased in jeans, swayed rhythmically as she walked.
Hypnotized by her swaying hips, I followed her until the resort lights faded into the distance. We arrived at a spot where a hammock was strung between two massive trees. With a slight turn of my head, I could see the tranquil sea.
Jessie turned to face me, her deep brown eyes beckoning as she slowly approached. I stepped forward, wrapping my arms around her shoulders and waist.
"Mmm..."
We locked lips, beginning a slow, passionate kiss.
My hand slipped beneath her white t-shirt, while hers gripped my buttocks.
