Chapter 673 – One More Step (1)

After Minah, Eunbyeol, and the three of them had spent most of the day and day having 3P sex.

This morning. It was only later that evening that I was able to check the countless notification messages that had appeared right after I had sex with Minah for the first time.

Han Min-ah’s likeability rose to the highest level like many other women, and it seemed like she received a lot of additional rewards because she was the fifth person to reach the highest level of likeability.

After having fun with Minah and Eunbyeol, until the younger sisters return. There was enough time to check what had changed.

『Hunter Han Min-ah’s likeability is at the highest level』

『Special rewards related to Hunter Han Min-ah have been paid』

『Awakening abilities related to Hunter Minah Han have been unlocked』

First of all, up to this point, it was not much different from the existing compensation.

It was already the fifth time that Han Min-ah reached the highest level of favorability, and only her name was changed to Han Min-ah in the system window, which I had seen many times before.

This alone didn’t make me feel like I received anything extra from the highest level favorability reward.

I had already confirmed the 200 points I received as a bonus, and the newly acquired awakening ability was fully predictable.

… What bothered me was not the notification messages that appeared earlier, but the content that followed.

『The number of hunters with the highest level of favorability has increased to more than 5. The level of the highest level special reward increases (check details)』

『Some of the existing highest level favorability rewards will be changed to normal reward levels (check details)』

A notification message that lets you know, even at a glance, that there has been some change in your awakening ability.

It seemed like it was easy to find out what had changed and how it had changed, as there was a link to check detailed information.

Personally, this was the part I was most curious about, so I first checked the contents of the highest level special reward that was said to have changed first.

『The following special abilities are strengthened for hunters who have achieved the highest level of favorability.

Call: Can be used once a month → Can be used once a day

Ability to specify a calling location: The summoning location is no longer designated next to the user, and the summoning location can be called to a location designated in advance.

Forced Call: Can be forcefully called when the target is mortally wounded or gives up the battle. This feature can be enabled/disabled. (Can be used once a month. Consumes 100 points)』

“… Uh?”

As soon as the system window popped up in front of me and I saw the enhanced ‘Place a Call’ function, a somewhat stupid exclamation came out of my mouth.

It is a function that allows you to pre-designate the call location to a specific location rather than next to you, and to forcibly call you when you receive a fatal injury.

As soon as I saw this feature, this thought naturally came to my mind.

‘It seems like a village return system…’

The village return function of the online RPG I played in my previous life.

It was a moment when the thought naturally occurred to me that it might be similar to the function of returning to a nearby village and being resurrected when you die.

Of course, in this case, the meaning was a little different in that it was summoned right before death rather than being resurrected after death.

Looking at the performance of this function alone, I felt like I was one step closer to the ‘world where hunters don’t get killed by monsters’, which I had always wanted.

I felt like it would no longer be impossible to achieve my dream if I just utilized this function well.

‘Maybe we can make it so that hunters never die from monsters.’

Of course, it was a bit disappointing that the content was limited to women who had the ‘highest level of favorability’ for me.

So far, a total of 5 women have reached the highest level of favorability in my relationship.

If you look at the order in which they arrived, the order was Kang Hye-eun, Dosi-hee, Eun-byeol, Cha Yu-ri, and Han Min-ah.

Thanks to the newly added forced call function, I felt reassured that I could save the lives of these five people no matter what happens, but the problem was that the number of people I wanted to protect was not limited to just five.

There was nothing to say about the women I had ever been in a relationship with. Besides that, I want to save as many hunters as possible from the threat of monsters.

However, in order to do this, the target’s favorability must be raised to the highest level, and judging from my experience so far, raising a person’s favorability to the highest level is not that easy.

In terms of bond alone, Eunyoung would never be defeated by the five people who reached the highest level of likeability, but the final psychological barrier of her thinking of me as her adoptive son was preventing her from raising her likeability to the highest level.

If you look at the number of relationships, Hwayoung also had sex quite a few times, but it seemed like it was difficult for her to be sincere because of the age difference.

Each of these cases was an obstacle to the ‘ideal future’ I thought of.

Regardless of how much you love the other person, the ‘forced call’ function can only be used if the other person has blind love for you.

Although I instinctively felt that using this feature was the fastest way to create the ideal future I envisioned, I couldn’t shake the feeling that there were still numerous limitations blocking me.

‘The human heart is truly treacherous.’

Even though his abilities have clearly been upgraded in a much better way than before, he is disappointed that he cannot use these abilities on other people.

Even though I knew that it was something that would be quite absurd if someone heard it, it was a human instinct to want to get something more.

This was even more so because I was able to show functions to achieve my goal, such as forced calls, for anyone to see.

Just being able to securely protect the five people who have already reached the highest level of favorability would be a satisfying story for me, but on top of that, I am also greedy to save all the people who have not yet reached the highest level of favorability.

It was a greedy idea that came out so naturally that even I was surprised.

‘First of all, I have no choice but to raise the favorability level to the highest level, at least with the women I have interacted with so far.’

It was a simple and foolish method, but in a sense, it was the most reliable method.

Anyway, since the ‘highest level favorability reward’ itself has been upgraded, if you can raise other hunters’ favorability to the highest level, this reward will be applied to them as well.

After making a reasonable conclusion in my mind, I checked the changes in the second notification.

At first glance, it is difficult to understand what this means, that some of the existing highest level favorability rewards will be changed to normal reward levels.

『The following special abilities are added to hunters who have gained a normal level of favorability.

Call: You can summon the target hunter to the designated calling location. (Can be used once a month)』

Apparently, some of the rewards that were changed to normal level rewards were the existing ‘Call’ function.

This means that the reward function for hunters with the highest level of favorability so far has been changed to a normal level reward.

In other words, it meant that any woman who had sex with me at least once could call me at any time using the call function from now on, and in fact, even on the current list of sexual desire management hunters, the call function could be used on all opponents whose favorability rating had not yet exceeded 80. I was able to confirm that it was there.

Considering that you can use Call Me even on Do Ye-hee, who currently has the lowest likeability rating, this probably means that you can actually use it on any woman you have had a relationship with at least once.

‘It would be good in many ways if we could somehow attach a forced call here.’

Although it was once a month, life was a resource that could not be seconded in the first place.

In many ways, it was disappointing that this function, which was the equivalent of replenishing one’s life once a month, could only be used by five women.

As soon as I checked out this enhanced calling function, fragmentary ways to use it were quickly forming in my head.

‘… For a moment. What if I made the highest level of affinity to 5 people and the calling function was given to hunters with normal affinity?’

By any chance, isn’t there a ‘next level’ to the ‘highest level of favorability reward’ in the Hunter Sexual Desire Manager system?

There are still 5 people with the ‘highest level of likeability’, but what if that number increases to 10?

So, wouldn’t it be possible to give the ‘forced call’ function, which is currently only available to hunters with the highest level of affinity, to hunters with a normal level of affinity?

As I was pondering deeply with that thought in my head, it wasn’t long before a familiar voice confirmed me.

“As part of the Hunter Sexual Desire Manager System, let me give you my opinion: Master’s hypothesis has ample potential.”

‘Okay?’

“Even I, as a part of the system, cannot provide assurance as I cannot access rewards that have not yet been confirmed. However, considering the ‘rules’ shown so far in the ‘Hunter Sexual Desire Manager System’, there is a good possibility of realization.”

‘Okay. ‘Thank you for your comment, Esila.’

Even though I couldn’t say I could completely trust Esila, it was a good enough opinion to set my mindset for the future.

Anyway, whether I saw the contents of this changed reward or not, what I had to do didn’t change much.

It meant that he could spend his life mixing with many women as he had done so far. Likeability is just a number that increases as a bonus in the process.

Of course, I don’t embarrass the other person with awkward behavior that isn’t like me just to increase my likeability rating, and I don’t leave the other person, whose likeability rating has already reached the highest level, like a caught fish.

It was enough to relieve the sexual desires of the hunters who had formed relationships with me as before.

Because that was my role as the Hunter Sexual Desire Manager.
