Chapter 6 - The Gift System
Seo Juhwan quickly adapted and accepted reality. At the moment, he had already finished reporting any special notes and even taken a shower, and was now lying down in the barracks.
'At least I regressed as a sergeant.'
If Yeomra King had been just a little less generous and sent him back one year earlier, it would have been a disaster. Thinking about it that way, this was actually fortunate. It was better to treat this as a chance to calmly organize his thoughts.
'But what was that earlier? I think it said something about a system…'
Seo Juhwan recalled the moment of his regression.
Right after returning, a strange message had appeared before his eyes. That had been the real reason he couldn't gather himself right away.
'Ah, it had the same name as the Demon God. It was definitely called the Russ System…'
At that moment, as if waiting, a message appeared.
[…Update complete.]
[The Lust System has been partially activated.]
[Status window has been activated.]
[You have received a start package.]
[Tutorial quest has arrived.]
『Understanding the System (1)』
▶ Open the inventory and use the start package.
Reward: None.
His eyes widened at the sudden message. Seo Juhwan calmed himself and got up.
"Guys, if anyone's looking for me, say I went to the bathroom."
"Yes."
"Understood."
After entering the bathroom, he checked the message again.
'Now that I think about it, the Demon God said he'd give me a gift…'
This so-called system was likely that gift. Seo Juhwan decided to follow the instructions for now.
"Inventory."
With that word, a translucent window like something from a game appeared.
[Only items obtained through the system can be stored in the inventory.]
[Items can be used without opening the inventory, simply by thinking about them.]
A help-like message followed.
'Use start package.'
Ding!
[Start package has been used.]
[Blessing: Blessing of the Dream Demon God (60) has been applied.]
[Blessing: Blessing of the Gym Maniac (60) has been applied.]
[Item: Random Skill Box acquired.]
[Item: Skill Up Coupon (B) acquired.]
Messages flooded his vision.
The final message seemed to be a continuation of the previous quest.
『Understanding the System (2)』
▶ Check the items and blessings received from the package.
▶ Use the items received from the package.
▶ Check the status window, as well as skills, blessings, and talents.
Reward: None.
The quest was detailed and kind, just like a game tutorial. Seo Juhwan calmly followed the system's instructions step by step.
'Use Random Skill Box.'
[Random Skill Box has been used.]
[Skill: Pheromone acquired.]
'Pheromone?'
Just from the name, it was hard to tell what kind of skill it was. While checking it, he summoned every available window in front of him.

Seo Juhwan's eyes moved rapidly, trying to process all the information appearing at once. Fortunately, he was a fast reader and quickly went through everything.
But before he could even finish reacting, a new message appeared.
『Activate the Lust System!』
▶ The Lust System is not yet fully activated. Fully activate it to unlock hidden functions.
Completion Condition: Have sex with any woman.
Additional Condition: Have sex with a non-prostitute woman.
▶ Reward: Full system activation.
▶ Additional Reward: 1,000 LP.
"Haha…."
Finally, Seo Juhwan let out a hollow laugh.
'Looks like I've received something insane.'
Even just the abilities and blessings he had already obtained were incredible, and now there were even hidden functions. His earlier confusion faded, replaced by anticipation for what else the system could do. His heart pounded with excitement like he had just won the lottery.
'But what's with that completion condition?'
Then again, it wasn't just a Demon God—it was the Dream Demon God. Considering that, maybe the condition wasn't so random after all. Thinking back, even the name itself was Lust.
'…Should I just visit a place during leave?'
Naturally, he had been single his entire life.
Even at thirty, he hadn't so much as pitched a tent.
At the very least, he felt relieved that he wasn't dealing with erectile dysfunction yet.
