I left the subway station and went home by taxi, spending the time on the trip back totally in daze.
After returning to my room, I reflected a lot about what happened in the subway earlier and let out a deep sigh.
I was truly pathetic. Not only as a man but also as a human being.
I, who was rotting inside, was suddenly bestowed with a supernatural power that could make any female swoon over.
It was truly nonsensical.
'No, let's not making any excuses here…'
To be honest, I was afraid. There was something inside me that started to slowly change, for the better or worse, and a side of me that I had never thought I had before accidentally revealed during that time.
I was practically almost molesting a stranger in a public place, and my target, instead of being repulse or disgusted by my action, showed a positive sign toward my advance. Something that I once believed could only happen in cartoon or erotic novel.
Like the majority of Koreans, or any decent human being, I used to feel disgust and contempt when I heard the news of public sex offender being arrested broadcasted on the tv. They couldn't be called a human being, existences that were even worst than bugs or insects.
However, just not long ago, I was actually the one who almost committing the same crime i'd always loathed, but instead of negative emotion what I felt was… excitement.
Yes, I had to admit that at that moment, when looking at her blushing cheeks, inhaling her alluring fragrance, a 'sex drive' that I hadn't felt properly in years boiled up. Imagining what kind expression she would make when I ravaged her on the spot made my blood rushed toward my lower half, making my little brother to 'awaken'.
So, I ran away because I didn't have the confidence to control myself properly. That was the truth.
I let out another sigh and decided to learn the lesson from my failure this time.
Although I still felt torn between the moral value, I had upheld almost my entire life and the necessity to break from that very value to continue completing the quests as a player, I felt the urgency to make a more thorough preparation so that I didn't end up in embarrassment as I did today.
Furthermore, I also had to manage my newly transformed persona outside under the public's scrutiny. Even a little slip up could make me end up in jail if somebody caught me red-handed when doing my quest.
Not only that, but I also had to be more cautious of choosing the target. If I accidentally picked someone from the same university for example, it would truly be a disaster.
'It's a game, but also reality at the same time. What a mess…'
Whining inwardly, I managed to spend several days sorting out the current situation.
To sum it up, first of all, there were various kinds of items available in the store. Almost all of them related to my 'play'.
From a shady items such as a suspicious vials that were said to increase stamina or recover stamina to drugs with special effects.
There were also some kinky stuff like handcuff, rope, eyemask, and so on which most likely to be use in 'special play.'
In addition to that, there were also items that looked like came up straight from erotic fantasy such as 'see-through sunglasses', 'portable onahole', or something on that line, which honestly made my heart pound faster unknowingly. Unfortunately, most of them cost me quite massive amount of points as they were not disposable items.
For the time being, though, I had to be satisfied just to know there were such amazing items I could get from the store. In fact, considering the number of points I had right now, the only things I could buy were pills and spirit recovery potions.
To my surprise, the store also provided a point to currency exchange. When I saw that it was written '1p can be changed to 100 won', I thought it was a little reluctant.
If I converted all the points I had now, which was 9500p, into cash, I could get exactly 950,000 won in exchange.
It was quite a sum for a college student, but as I wasn't exactly having difficulties with money, I didn't feel tempted to exchange my points for cash. After all, there were many other places I could spent my points on which was more important than money for now.
Secondly, attributes.
As I read my current status, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable inside.

Although I had expected that I wouldn't score that high in the aspect of looks, seeing it being quantified and evaluated as low as 65 from 100 was quite disheartening. I thought that I was at least 70, but the system showed me the cold truth. What a harsh world this was.
There was another sore point here…
Of course, I expected something like this to some extent, but I never thought there would be something like that among the attributes.
Sighing inwardly, I glanced around like a thief about to committing a crime. After making sure there were no one around, which was actually quite illogical because it was my own room but I didn't seem to realize that obvious fact due to the sheer embarrassment from what I was about to do soon.
He held my trembling hand and slowly but surely pressed the plus button next to the 'Size' stat. And that moment…
---
Size increase by 1. (13 cm/16 cm)
Current free stat points: 5.

When the notification came up, I could sense a subtle feeling down there. As I pulled down my pants to check it out, I could see the slight change in my little brother, giving me a boost in confidence.
You might say it was a bit childish, but as a man, having a bigger dick was truly a matter of pride. Some might say size didn't matter, but to my opinion, anyone who said that was either a small dick or a virgin.
Well, I was a virgin but it didn't mean that I didn't want to have a big dick.
Anyway…
Whether I wanted to admit it or not, my overall attributes were quite lacking. my size and stamina were decent, but other than that I was no different than lvl.1 newbie.
The zero point in technique was particularly sticking out like a sore thumb. It was a natural result because I was a virgin, but still it was getting under my skin as my petty ego being hurt.
'I should have just invested in my technique.'
No, there was no need to be depressed like this with only one stat. After all, I still have 5 stats left.
Of course, it would be better to make decision after seeing watching the situation unfolding in the future rather than being rash to put the points in technique unconditionally.
'For now...'
He should start my preparation for upcoming semester.
Reflecting from the last attempt, I realized that I had to spend more effort to hone my communication skill. At least to the point that I didn't feel exhausted just after a few rounds of conversation with opposite genders.
Unfortunately, there weren't any shortcut to improve my eloquence. I really wanted to complain to Eros that I didn't add any feature, not even a stat that could easily improve my communication skill.
How could you pick up a girl if you couldn't speak well?
'Well, let's just think that I'm something like a beta tester. I'll make a suggestion to Eros' later when I get the chance.'
If I wanted to target on of the juniors, the goal was to build a new image in the upcoming semester, something like a kind-hearted and caring senior but also exuded air of confidence as a reliable older brother.
When I was still a freshman, I saw a lot of popular guys in the campus with this kind of persona. Not a few of freshman juniors who fell for these kinds of guys. There were also a lot of guys with 'bad boys' image which almost as popular as the first type, but it didn't seem suitable for I.
"I think it will take at least 3-4 months."
He needed to approach my target with patient, slowly built their trust and raised my favourability by hanging out together, treating her to a lunch or dinner, maybe a little bit tutoring, and then gradually lowering their defense. Eventually…
"Wait. Even if I success to get laid with my target, what next? The logical development is dating, isn't it? Do I need to date my target?"
Now I thought about it there was a big problem that I overlooked. As a player, sooner or later, I had to raid more than one woman. If I chose to date one of them, I might bring unnecessary harm to the women I made relationship with.
Even if I had come to term that I would be scumbag in the future to clear the game and fulfil my wish to meet Ji-Yeon again, I didn't want to sacrifice anyone for my purpose. This was my bottom-line that I didn't want to give up.
Putting aside my somewhat hypocritical principal, there was another critical problem that was more urgent.
Even if I was successful in capturing the target, the moment I had sex with her but refuse to have a relationship beyond a one-night stand and once the rumour spread that I did 'hit and run', my reputation in the department would definitely plunge into bottom and my personal relationship, which was almost non-existent right now, would become even worse.
'Damn, I can't believe that I miss such a fundamental problem.'
He hurriedly browsed through the store for an item that would be useful in this kind of situation, and luckily, I found one suitable for my need. It was a drug labelled 'Selective Memory Erasure', which could erase any part of the target's memory.
'Can I erase the memory of having sex by giving this drug after having sex after getting to know each other?'
The price was a mere 2,000 pts, which was less expensive than I initially thought.
After discovering the magical item, I finally felt relaxed and continue to plan for the future operation.
First of all, the goal was to get close to the juniors within a month, clear the raid, erase the memory, and prepare for the next raid again.
"Good." I slapped my cheeks with both hands and cheered.
After tidying up my room, I spent the next few days organizing my timetable, buying textbooks, and buying new clothes.
At least without variables. It will be able to proceed safely according to my plan.
'I thought so.'
"Hehe... why are you look so disappointed, SUNBAE?"
Until the woman in front of I showed me a smile that wasn't a smile, glaring so coldly to the point of chilling. A cold sweat flowed down my face at the eerie voice.
'What the hell with this situation? It's really driving me crazy!'
