Into the Creations 42

## Chapter 42 – 042. Vampire Detective

042. Vampire Detective

We woke up around noon at the motel, still tangled in each other’s arms.
We had turned into beasts the moment we stepped into the motel. Not a drop of alcohol had touched our lips, yet we rolled around until dawn, no longer man and woman, but male and female.
Looking around, the place was a mess. It wasn’t just the bed where we’d done the deed. The bathroom, the shower, the desk, the chair, the entryway… we’d swung our genitals in every possible place, in every possible position. Hera’s pussy was swollen and red right now.

“Oppa, I’m going to quit Younghyejeong.”
“Huh?!”

I was taken aback.

“Why are you so surprised?”
“No, I just thought you’d keep working at Younghyejeong.”
“Younghyejeong is a good place. The madam is considerate, and we can make more money than other places. But still, it’s not really a place for a lifetime career, is it?”
“…I guess not.”

Most of the girls working in the rooms do it for the money. Entertainment establishments are good for quickly accumulating money in a short period. However, considering social perception and the future, it’s not a place to stay long-term.
What surprised me was that Hera was quitting so soon.

“Are you quitting today?”
“No, I’m only working until the end of this month. I’ve already told the madam.”
“What will you do after quitting?”
“My parents want me to get married soon… but I don’t want to get married yet, even though I’m almost 30. I’m going to open a clothing store with the money I’ve saved.”

Listening to her, I realized something anew.

‘……For me, this world is a drama, but for the people in this world, this is reality.’

And I had a question.

Would the parents of Shin Hyejin in reality and Hera’s parents look exactly the same? I really wanted to check, but I didn’t know what Shin Hyejin’s parents looked like.

“So, does that mean our sex partner relationship is over too?”

Honestly, I didn’t want to let her go. But I didn’t want to force her either. We were already deeply attached through sex. If Hera wanted to, I would let her go.

“…Hmm. No. I don’t think I can ever forget your dick, Oppa. My pussy is still sore… but just thinking about your dick makes it tingle.”
“I won’t forget your pussy either.”

This was also the truth. Hera’s pussy was a perfect match for my dick. There were definitely pussies that were tighter than hers, but after doing it, they always felt inferior to her.

“Call me when you open your store. I’ll give you a celebratory pounding.”
“You’d pound me even if it wasn’t a celebration.”
“That’s true.”

I chuckled.

•••

I couldn’t quit the room. I was already addicted.
If this were reality instead of a world of play, I would have quit the room. The room was fun, but at the same time, it was an entertainment that ruined lives.
But this wasn’t reality. My life in this world was none of my concern. And going to the room didn’t hinder my purpose either.
In short, I had no intention of quitting the room until I achieved my goal.

‘The problem is money.’

I wanted to go to the room, but I didn’t have any money.
Sitting in front of Kang Yujin’s computer, I was lost in thought.
There were many ways to make money. I could work. But there were few ways to make a lot of money at once.
I had already sold all the information that Kang Yujin had collected that was sellable, and the remaining data was too dangerous to handle. Therefore, I couldn’t make money by selling information.
Robbing a bank was also an option, but I didn’t want to provoke the police unnecessarily.

‘So, the only option left is… to take money from criminals like before.’

Finding the operators of illegal sports gambling sites wasn’t difficult using hacking. Since they were doing illegal things, they would often have a lot of cash on hand.

“…Wait. I have the clown mask.”

Originally, I was only going to wear the clown mask when killing the vampire hunters. But thinking about it, there was no need to do that.

‘Since it’s come to this… let’s just go wild.’

I started rummaging through Kang Yujin’s computer. Kang Yujin didn’t just collect information about the corruption of public officials. Kang Yujin had a good habit of saving any interesting information she found.

“…Found it.”

What I found was information about a member of the National Assembly. His name was Kim Chunseok. A six-term lawmaker and the floor leader of the Sky Party.
He was mentioned as a corrupt politician in the original work. However, his power was so strong that even Moon Jihyuk couldn’t do anything about him. It was only mentioned that such a dangerous politician existed.
He was the dirtiest of all public officials in Korea.

How dirty was he? The amount of data stored on him was at least five times more than any other politician.
Bribery was a given, and he used political thugs as if they were his own limbs. There was also suspected evidence of him hiring hitmen.
What was surprising was that he hadn’t been frequenting entertainment establishments like Younghyejeong lately. This was the same guy who had a scandal involving entertainment establishments seven years ago.

‘…No. It’s not surprising.’

He had a secret villa in Yeongdeungpo that was unknown to the public. Kang Yujin had hacked the nearby CCTV and identified the people entering the villa.
Most of them were executives of large corporations. It was clear that the bribes were being made there.
And there were also famous entertainment agency presidents and celebrities.

Sexual favors.

There were no sex videos, but why else would a celebrity go to Kim Chunseok’s secret villa? You’d be an idiot not to know.
The celebrities visited about once a week. The celebrities who entered this secret villa would either film a movie a few days later or suddenly have good articles written about them. It was almost certain.
The reason he didn’t frequent entertainment establishments like Younghyejeong was that the secret villa itself was his entertainment venue.

But it didn’t end there. He occasionally met with lobbyists from Japan and China.
A member of the National Assembly who was being attacked by the public and the media for being a traitor? He was nothing compared to Kim Chunseok. It was estimated that Kim Chunseok had been consistently receiving bribes and favors for at least 10 years.

‘It’s a good thing there isn’t a guy like Kim Chunseok in real life.’

Was there really no one like Kim Chunseok in real life? I couldn’t answer that question so easily. I just wanted to believe that there wasn’t.

‘There’s a place that this guy checks once a month through his aide.’

For reference, Kim Chunseok’s aide was a former political thug. He had probably committed several murders as Kim Chunseok’s right-hand man. He was from the same middle school as Kim Chunseok. Kim Chunseok trusted him more than his own wife.

‘The place that the aide checks every time is 100% likely to be a place where he hides his slush fund.’

Kang Yujin had hacked the aide’s phone and computer to find out the location. She had deduced the location by checking the aide’s card statements.
Kang Yujin had sealed this information.

It was too dangerous for a mere hacker to steal Kim Chunseok’s slush fund. The slush fund was likely being guarded by the thugs he used… the Baekjeon faction. For reference, the Baekjeon faction was ostensibly called the ‘Great Sky Association,’ a support group for the Sky Party.

‘The size of the slush fund is at least 200 billion won? Shit. The stench is so bad I feel like throwing up.’

What was in the slush fund location was already converted into physical assets. If you included the non-physical assets, it would be over 600 billion won.

‘He’s been doing this much and we’re just leaving him alone?’

The National Intelligence Service knew about Kim Chunseok’s corruption. But they remained silent.
If they messed with Kim Chunseok now, it wouldn’t be just one or two people who would get hurt. In the worst case, the South Korean government could be paralyzed. That meant that there were that many members of the National Assembly and companies involved with Kim Chunseok. And of course, the National Intelligence Service was included in that.

‘It’s a miracle that the country is even functioning at this point.’

I was conflicted.
Should I go straight to the place where the slush fund was and take the money? Or should I just give up?

‘……Let’s prepare and raid it. Let’s just turn South Korea upside down this time.’

As a citizen of South Korea, I couldn’t stand to see a guy like Kim Chunseok continue to commit atrocities and fill his own pockets. …That wasn’t exactly my sentiment.
It wasn’t like I was thinking, ‘My taxes are going to that bastard…’ I wasn’t even paying taxes in the first place.

To be honest.

‘He’s living so easy. You son of a bitch. And celebrity sex favors… I’m so jealous.’

I couldn’t forgive the celebrity sex favors.

‘I’m dying of envy. Shit…’

[Hacking Lv.6
You can hack electronic devices. The more complex the electronic device, the shorter the hacking duration. The electronic device you are trying to hack must be within 60M. You can hack multiple electronic devices. However, the hacking duration is greatly reduced.
Cooldown: 3 hours]

I invested the points I had into the hacking skill. The use of the hacking skill was essential for what I was about to do.

‘It’s especially useful here in this modern setting.’

If I could, I wanted to raise it to level 10, but to raise it further, I needed a whopping 25 points.

‘I only have 3 points right now.’

My options were to raise my stats or save them for later.

‘I might suddenly unlock a trait like Yeongcheonryu.’

Just like how you suddenly need money in life, there might be a time when I suddenly need points in the future.

‘But in the end, I can just accumulate points again.’

After thinking about it, I decided to raise my lowest stat. If I was going to raise my stats eventually, it wouldn’t be strange to raise them now.
Also, the fact that it was too low compared to my other stats was a bit annoying.
And I was also curious if raising my lowest intelligence stat would actually make me smarter.

[Sung Yujin
Level: 19
Strength: 14 Stamina: 12 Agility: 12 Intelligence: 5 Virility: 15]

After raising my intelligence, I put down my smartphone and sat still.

“……What’s changed?”

I didn’t feel like my head was clearer, or that the world looked different. I decided to do a few experiments.
I randomly thought of a few numbers and added, subtracted, and multiplied them. As a result, I found that my mental arithmetic skills had improved.
It also seemed like my memory had improved.

‘If I search for intelligence… learning ability, cognitive ability… well, a lot of things come up.’

I couldn’t shake the feeling that I had raised my intelligence for nothing, but then I belatedly discovered a new window in the corner of the play life app.

[The effects of skills and traits are slightly increased.]
[The power consumed when using skills is reduced by 0.1%.]
[The cooldown of skills is reduced by 0.1%.]

“Shit.”

That was the first word I uttered.
Intelligence.
Come to think of it, in games, it was a stat related to skills. In games, if your intelligence was high, the power of your skills would increase.

“Ugh. I should have raised my intelligence sooner.”

0.1%.

It might not be much to others, but it was definitely not a small percentage for me. I had been obsessed with a mobile game once in the past, and I had spent 300,000 won believing in a 0.3% chance.
In conclusion, I was able to achieve my goal. That’s when I learned that 0.3% was doable.

“If I raise my intelligence, the percentage will go up more.”

Even 1% would be a significant amount. And the fact that the effects of skills and traits were slightly increased kept bothering me.

‘The effects of Yeongcheonryu and hacking are already amazing, and they’re going to get even better. I should pay attention to raising my intelligence from now on.’

I thought that my values or personality might change as my intelligence increased…

‘Ah, I want to roll around with a woman at Younghyejeong.’

It didn’t seem like that was the case.
