Chapter 2654 – 2654. Daily Quest

[Day 3 Quest
Do not use mana for one day.
Quest Success Reward: 1,000 points, random BGM.]

It’s not that I can’t use mana. The quest isn’t mandatory. The condition is that I don’t use mana.

‘This is a tricky quest. If I carelessly use mana, the quest will fail.’

[Warning. Your mana is currently moving.]

Even without being conscious of it, internal energy flows through my meridians. The Game Life app doesn’t even allow that. I consciously pushed all the mana in my body into my dantian.

I’d like to seal my mana by acupuncturing myself, but even that consumes internal energy.

‘If it were normal, this would be an easy quest. I could just hole up at home, have sex, and pass the time.’

But what about now? I’m helping Hazel hunt vampires. It’s not like mana is absolutely necessary, but I can’t let my guard down because I might use it unconsciously.

‘I can beat a normal vampire one-on-one without mana. My physical abilities are S-class even without mana.’

First of all, I can’t use lightning. Using lightning consumes mana and vitality. I can use some lightning with just vitality, but…

‘I feel like I might use mana without realizing it. Among the skills that don’t use mana, the ones that help in combat are… Full Recovery, Heavenly Mind, Hacking, and Acceleration. I shouldn’t use Meteor Sword, Heavenly Eye, or Leap at all because they consume mana. And the inventory.’

There was no cost to using the inventory. It didn’t require mana or vitality.

‘I’m not confident. I’m not confident in losing to a vampire.’

But the vampire lord, the progenitor Aiden, was different. He was definitely an S-class vampire. Even if he was injured, an S-class is still an S-class. Not using mana is a huge disadvantage.

‘In the first place, even an A-class is treated as a C-class or lower if they can’t use mana. There’s a big difference between throwing a punch with mana and without it.’

The answer is simple.

“Let’s kill Aiden tomorrow.”

“I wasn’t planning on attacking Aiden recklessly… What are you talking about all of a sudden? Are you not feeling well?”

Hazel asked while driving. Her eyes, glancing at me, were full of bewilderment.

“I can’t use mana today.”

“Suddenly? I definitely don’t feel any mana from you. Is it some kind of fairy curse or restriction?”

I can’t tell her it’s a Game Life app quest. The Game Life app is my top secret. If secrets make a man mysterious, then I’ll always be mysterious.

“Well, something like that.”

“…What happens if you use mana?”

“I die.”

“…?!”

Thinking it was an exaggeration, I corrected myself.

“Just kidding. Things get complicated.”

“…Should we take a break today?”

“It’s not that bad. I can still beat an A-class vampire even without mana. Honestly, I could probably beat you too.”

Hazel stepped on the brake. The car, which had been speeding through the desert, stopped. She glared at me with a smile.

“I can’t agree with that last statement. I’ll admit you’re a candidate for the next S-class hunter. But you’re not officially an S-class hunter yet, are you? And even if you were an active S-class hunter, I’d win if you couldn’t use mana.”

“Are you confident? Should we try it?”

I was also curious about how far I could go against an A-class hunter without using mana, so I grinned and provoked Hazel. The provocation worked well.

“Get out!”

And so, we stood facing each other in the middle of the dark desert.

Hazel was wearing jeans and a tank top without a coat. She had only a sword in her hand.

“Aren’t you using a gun?”

“I can’t shoot a gun in a sparring match. Especially since you’re not using mana.”

I nodded. It would have been a bit troublesome if she had a gun. Even if she’s an S-class hunter, she’s still human. Getting shot without mana reinforcement is fatal.

I summoned the Fire Lotus Dagger from my inventory and held it in my hand.

“Let’s start.”

Mana surged from her body. A golden light faintly emanated from her eyes. She had maximized her physical enhancement. I could also see the golden sword aura on the blade. She intended to end the fight quickly without dragging it out.

She charged at me. As expected of an enhanced body, she was fast.

‘I can see everything. Her boobs are shaking too obviously.’

I stepped forward.

Even if I can’t use mana, it doesn’t mean I can’t use the forms of martial arts.

I lightly dodged her charge and swung the Fire Lotus Dagger with the back of the blade. Hazel also changed her body’s direction while stepping forward.

Clang!

Sword and dagger clashed. Our eyes met. Her eyes were filled with astonishment. It was because the Fire Lotus Dagger had blocked the sword with its sword aura without any recoil.

What followed was Hazel’s continuous sword strikes. I could see the basics and experience of a swordsman who had trained for many years.

I focused on deflecting the force while blocking her sword strikes with my dagger. Since I couldn’t use mana, I was at a disadvantage in terms of strength and speed.

‘I’m deflecting the force using the principle of transforming energy. I’ll lose if I make even a small mistake.’

I gradually retreated. She was too strong to block her attacks in place.

‘No matter how much mana you use, you can’t attack endlessly without rest. She’ll need a breath soon, right?’

Clang!

My body bounced to the side. Her posture, her balance, faltered for a moment. I didn’t miss that brief moment when she exhaled and tried to regain her posture.

She quickly tried to swing her sword, but it couldn’t be faster than my dagger, which was aimed at her neck.

“…What the hell? I’m attacking with mana, but how are you holding up?”

I answered with a serious expression.

“Swordsmanship.”

I rubbed my throbbing wrist. It was like taking a head-on hit from a truck with my bare body. Even though I had deflected most of the force with transforming energy, the burden was inevitable.

“…That was my full power just now. I feel a little self-conscious.”

“If it were another S-class hunter instead of me, you would have won. My body is also S-class. Want to try again if you’re not convinced?”

“I’m not that petty. I lost. Honestly, it’s shocking that I couldn’t even touch you even though I’ve been learning swordsmanship since I was a kid.”

If she knew the truth, she wouldn’t say that.

Even if she had been training with a sword since she was a child, it would only be for 20 years at most.

But what about me? I’ve trained with a sword for at least several decades. If you add everything up, it might be over a hundred years.

The important thing is that I didn’t just train. Real combat. The experiences I had in the game world were ingrained in my body.

“I’m just a genius.”

“Oh, you’re so great. Really. Let’s just rest at a decent motel today.”

I couldn’t help but feel a lewd feeling at the word “motel.”

Of course, I know that motels in Korea and the United States are different.

In the United States, motels were accommodations for drivers. A kind of rest stop. Unlike Korea, the United States is so vast that people often drive for several days.

Three hours later, we arrived at a motel. Looking at the parked cars, it seemed like there were quite a few guests. The exterior was clean, so it didn’t seem like a cheap one.

“We’re sharing a room, right? We can save money.”

“Should I lend you some money?”

“You haven’t forgotten that we’re on a date, have you? I won’t do anything weird.”

“…Hmm. I wasn’t planning on sleeping anyway, so I guess it’s okay.”

“You’re not sleeping? Why?”

“You know. It’s because of my constitution. I need to sleep during the day to absorb the power of the sun.”

“Can’t you just stay awake during the day?”

“Sleeping is more efficient than staying awake. And I’ve been sleeping during the day since I was a kid. You drive during the day. I’ll sleep in the truck.”

In the end, we entered the motel room together. The interior was quite well decorated. The bed was also big. It was well-maintained, and there were no fleas.

After showering, I lay naked on the bed. Hazel was horrified.

“Are you crazy?!”

I decided to be brazen.

“I sleep naked. And it’s not like it’s your first time seeing me naked.”

“…Ah. I see. You want me to be embarrassed, don’t you? I’m someone who’s pulled out vampire hearts. Do you think I’d be embarrassed by seeing a man’s naked body? You sleep naked? Okay. Sleep well.”

Hazel sat at the desk. She placed her guns on the desk and started cleaning them. She deliberately didn’t even look at me.

I lay on the bed and looked at her back. The line from her waist to her hips was a work of art. Even the jeans that covered her hips looked luscious.

‘Ah. I want to have sex.’

-Ah! Haaah! Aaaah! Oh, yes…! Suck my pussy harder!

A woman’s moans could be heard from the wall next door. I whistled softly, and Hazel looked at the wall in surprise. The seductive moans continued. It seemed like the man was good at sucking pussy.

‘Ah. I can’t use my senses, so I don’t even know if the woman is pretty. I can’t even see through the wall with Heavenly Eye.’

Unlike me, who was feeling regretful, Hazel’s face turned red as she glared at the wall.

“…I think we got the wrong room. Should we change?”

“We already paid. And that’s nothing. It’s just that we’re hunters, so we can hear it well. Are you embarrassed?”

Awakened people have better physical abilities than ordinary people, so they can hear even small sounds well. And this advantage can sometimes be a disadvantage.

“Embarrassed? Why would I be? Do you think I’d be embarrassed by something like sex?”

Hazel flared up. I chuckled.

“You can’t even look at my dick without being embarrassed.”

“Why wouldn’t I be able to look at your tiny dick?”

Hazel looked at my dick with her arms crossed. My dick reacted, throbbing. It doesn’t usually react to this level of stimulation… but it was quite built up now.

Hazel flinched. But she didn’t look away. That was stubbornness.

-Haaah! Yes, Mac. Thrust into my pussy harder…! Oh! Yes! That’s it! That’s what I wanted!

Thwack thwack thwack!

Even the sound of flesh hitting flesh could be heard.

Pre-cum dripped from my dick. Of course, it wasn’t because of the moans from the wall. It was because I was turned on by Hazel’s pretty face.

“You, you’re…!”

“Ah, I can’t take it anymore.”

I started to grab my dick and shake it with one hand. Hazel jumped up.

“Are you really crazy?!”

“I’ve been in the car all day, so it’s built up. It’s not that bad. It’s not like I’m going to jump on you. Ah, are you embarrassed? Are vampire hunters afraid of dicks?”

“Who’s afraid of your tiny dick…! Ha, fine, do whatever you want. You’re no different from a horny monkey. Are all men like this?”

“Monkey? Are you calling me a monkey because I’m Asian?”

“Shut up!”
