Chapter 972 – 972. The Ascent To Light
Once a week.
That was the number of times I was supposed to have sex with Namgung Seol, as decided by Wi Yu. And I had to do it in front of Wi Yu. Aside from the frequency, I had no complaints. The number of times Wi Yu set was also based on Namgung Seol’s stamina and condition, so I couldn’t really argue.
Namgung Seol reached the Entry Stage right after our first night together. She would grow as a martial artist. When her Nine Yin Meridians were completely healed, the world would have to be on its guard.
‘The problem is, no one knows when that will be.’
To safely and surely heal her Nine Yin Meridians, we needed a steady application of the Yin-Yang Harmonizing Great Method. Wi Yu said it would take at least a few years, maybe even decades.
I tossed a leaf into the air. It slowly fell downwards. A sword flashed at my waist. A blue streak cut through the leaf. The leaf, now precisely split in two, landed on my palm. The veins of the leaf were perfectly severed.
‘Well, that’s almost perfect.’
I smiled contentedly. Being able to control the lightning current had drastically improved my accuracy.
‘The more lightning there is, the harder it is to control, but I can use lightning flashes without any trouble.’
If this were reality, it would have taken me at least a month. The real me had no talent at all. But this was the world of [The Ascent to Light]. I had developed my senses upon reaching the Five Qi Stage, and instead of having no talent, I had the Heavenly Star System.
VIP Level 1 Perks
『Martial arts power increased by 50%.』
『Growth rate increased by 50%.』
『Elixir effectiveness increased by 30%.』
『Attendance rewards are improved.』
‘I guess the growth rate here refers to talent. Since I had so little talent to begin with, a 50% increase doesn’t seem to mean much.’
『Attendance Event! Rewards are given for every week of attendance! Currently, 7 days of attendance completed.』
『You have achieved one week of attendance. A reward will be given randomly.』
『You have received a Detoxification Stone.』
『Detoxification Stone
Detoxifies poison.』
Thanks to the Heavenly Star System’s attendance event, I received random rewards every week.
Most of them were herbs, but sometimes I got special items like this. The most helpful for me were elixirs. However, elixirs were very rare.
‘The rewards got better after I became VIP Level 1. Maybe the rewards will get even better if my VIP level goes up.’
The requirement for VIP Level 2 was 300 Heavenly Jade. I only had 73 Heavenly Jade.
‘I wish I had gotten Heavenly Jade instead of a Detoxification Stone. They give out Heavenly Jade even less than elixirs.’
After some thought, I went to find Namgung Rin.
“Heavenly Jade? I don’t have anything that expensive. All I have is 15 gold coins I brought just in case.”
Heavenly Jade was a bead that contained spiritual energy. In this world, it was one of the main materials used to make special items, and it was also used as currency. One Heavenly Jade was worth about 100 gold coins.
Even the direct descendants of the Namgung Clan couldn’t handle Heavenly Jade carelessly.
“If you need money, would you like my 15 gold coins?”
“Ha, 15 gold coins? What am I supposed to do with that? Never mind. Just spread your legs.”
“H-Haa… Yes, I will…”
Namgung Rin spread her legs in the forest. Soon, the air grew hot and humid.
I went to find Wi Yu. She was with Namgung Seol. Namgung Seol was sitting cross-legged on the floor, focusing on circulating her energy, while Wi Yu quietly watched her.
“What is it?”
“Master, do you happen to have any Heavenly Jade?”
It wouldn’t be strange for the Fallen Moon Goddess to have Heavenly Jade. The stronger someone was, the more assets they tended to have. Even though she was stuck on Fallen Moon Mountain, her hidden wealth must be considerable. I wanted to believe that.
“Heavenly Jade? It’s been hundreds of years since I cut ties with the mortal world. There’s no way I’d have something like that here.”
“Really? Not even one?”
“No.”
Wi Yu said firmly. She wouldn’t lie, even if she wouldn’t give it to me.
My gaze turned to Namgung Seol, who was focused on circulating her energy. If Namgung Rin didn’t have any, there was no way Namgung Seol would have Heavenly Jade.
‘Maybe Miryeong has some?’
I went into Miryeong’s room. Miryeong wasn’t there. She had either gone to do something Wi Yu had asked her to do, or she was training. I decided to wait for her in her room.
Miryeong’s room was filled with modern gadgets, so much so that it felt like I was in the modern era. There was a computer, TV, headset, game console, air conditioner, and more.
‘What? There are snacks in the desk drawer. She was whining about not having any snacks, but she secretly stashed them here.’
I took this opportunity to check Miryeong’s computer. Checking someone else’s computer was thrilling. It was like peeking into their secret private life.
‘It’s a shame there’s no internet. Actually, a computer without internet is more useless than a steamed bun without red bean paste. Same goes for smartphones.’
The desktop was full of games. All of them were games I knew. It was natural since I had given them to her.
‘Well, is there anything like a secret file?’
I remembered that there was no security when I turned on the computer, so I clicked on the recently opened folder.
‘Bingo. Videos.’
I grinned.
Was it porn? How could she download porn without an internet connection?
‘I’ll find out if I check.’
Double click!
The video started playing. Miryeong was in the video. She was smiling and waving at the camera.
“Hello, viewers! It’s Fox Spirit! This is a pre-recorded video. Actually, I wasn’t planning on doing a pre-recorded video, but I was so bored that I couldn’t help it… You understand how I feel, right?”
It was a recording of her playing games. It seemed like she was planning to release it when she was summoned back to reality. I felt anew how much she missed the modern era.
‘That’s that… but all the videos are pre-recorded. I was hoping for something like a masturbation video, but there’s nothing.’
I thought about Miryeong’s kinks. Miryeong liked to have sex secretly while broadcasting. She didn’t have this kink originally, but it was developed because of me.
‘Since she has that kind of kink, it’s not strange that she has a kink about cameras.’
I didn’t give up.
It might be in another folder.
‘I know how to find hidden folders and files. I used that function a lot when I was in high school.’
I found it.
There were two videos.
I grinned and played the videos.
‘Hehe. Bingo!’
It was Miryeong’s masturbation video. She was sitting on a chair, with her lower body exposed, and using her fingers to poke her pussy.
“Ugh, ah… aah… ahn!”
She let out sweet moans, staring at the camera with half-open eyes. Meanwhile, her fingers were relentlessly spreading and poking her waxed pussy.
I watched the video with a satisfied smile.
Click. The door handle turned, and the door opened. Miryeong, slightly sweaty, came in.
“H-Huh! Husband?!”
“You’re just getting here?”
“What are you doing in my room… No! That video! Oh, no!”
Miryeong, her face completely red, ran over with her fox ears perked up. She covered the monitor with her body and turned off the computer.
“Hehe.”
It was useless. I had already seen everything.
“I didn’t know you had that kind of hobby.”
“N-No, it’s not like that. This is… I was just checking the camera… Ugh, uwaaaah!”
She realized that her excuse didn’t make any sense, and she screamed and sat down on the floor.
“If you wanted to film a sex video, you should have said so. I would have been happy to do it anytime. It’s not like we’re filming sex videos for the first time. We’ve already filmed live sex videos.”
Those were thrilling live sex videos that the viewers didn’t realize were live.
“Oh, really. It’s not like that. I just… I was just bored. More importantly, why did you come into my room? You weren’t really trying to look at my computer files, were you?”
Miryeong, her face red, was blatantly trying to change the subject. I was going to tease her a few more times, but I stopped.
“I need Heavenly Jade. Do you happen to have any?”
“Heavenly Jade? I have some. How many do you need?”
“All you have.”
“…What? Heavenly Jade is more expensive than most elixirs. You need all of it?”
Miryeong’s expression changed completely. I sensed that she had more Heavenly Jade than I thought.
I grabbed Miryeong’s shoulders with a serious look. Miryeong’s lips trembled.
“Miryeong, I need all of it.”
“B-But, I need Heavenly Jade too. I need to use it for special techniques and barriers.”
“Then give me all but a few. How many Heavenly Jade do you have?”
Miryeong’s eyes darted around. She was looking for a way to escape. I picked her up and laid her on the bed. I used my body to keep her from escaping.
“Ah, no… This is unfair…”
I kissed her cheek and stroked the fox ears that were perked up on her head. Her body reacted sensitively. Her breathing became rough.
“Please, Miryeong.”
Kiss.
I kissed her lips. She couldn’t hold back any longer and wrapped her arms around my neck.
“Really… If you do this, I can’t help it. Okay, I’ll give you everything. But… when the summoning cooldown is over, you have to summon me to the modern era. Okay?”
“Of course.”
Kiss.
I kissed her again. I put my hand on her chest, ready to have a leisurely sex. But Miryeong pushed me away slightly.
“I’ll give you what I have first. But what are you going to use the Heavenly Jade for? You can at least tell me that, right?”
Of course, I could tell her. I trusted Miryeong.
“It’s for the Heavenly Star System. I need Heavenly Jade to raise my VIP level.”
“Heavenly Star System?”
“The truth is, this world is…”
I told her about this world. A world where various worlds were mixed. And that there were games among them.
“Heavenly Star… I can’t believe that the star energy you were born with was the Heavenly Star. That’s amazing.”
“You know about the Heavenly Star?”
“Of course. There are stars that are called the best of all stars, and the Heavenly Star is one of them.”
“They said that my star energy was weak, though.”
“Isn’t that because your VIP level is only 1? And it’s better to hide your star energy if possible. You never know what those who are jealous might do. I hate to say this, but there aren’t many people with good character in this world.”
“How do you hide star energy?”
“Why are you asking me that… Hmm. I’ll write you a talisman later. Since your star energy is weak right now, you should be able to hide it. In the first place, you’re not likely to meet a master who can recognize star energy… but just in case.”
Miryeong reached out into the air. The air cracked open. A box popped out of the crack and fell to the floor.
It was a technique called the Void Seal. It was a kind of subspace. According to Miryeong, it was a technique that only innate sorcerers above the Three Essences Stage could use.
“820 Heavenly Jade. I’ll give you 800 of them, except for 20.”
My mouth dropped open. It was more than I had imagined.
“Why do you have so many?”
“I found treasure while crossing the sea. I also robbed some strange pirates. That’s how I collected so much Heavenly Jade.”
“Thank you, Miryeong.”
“Don’t just say thank you, give me a reward. Today, I want to eat chicken, pizza, hamburgers, tteokbokki, jajangmyeon, cola, cider… basically, all modern food.”
“Today, I’ll do whatever you want.”
I checked the 800 Heavenly Jade and smiled contentedly. There was no reason to hesitate. I raised my VIP level.
『Use 300 Heavenly Jade to raise your VIP level.』
『Achieve VIP 2.』
『700 Heavenly Jade are needed to raise your VIP level.』
『VIP 2 achievement perks are given.』
『Martial arts power increased by 70%.』
『Growth rate increased by 70%.』
『Elixir effectiveness increased by 35%.』
『Attendance rewards are improved.』
『Stamina and internal energy recovery rate increased by 50%.』
『Space teleportation system activated. 3 space teleportation points can be activated.』
『There are no currently saved space teleportation locations.』
『Acquire 1 Star Fragment.』
I grinned. Martial arts power and growth rate increased by 20%, and elixir effectiveness increased by 5%. The recovery rate was new, and the space teleportation system was clearly a teleportation function. It was essential in this vast world.
‘I have 573 Heavenly Jade left. I can raise my VIP level if I collect 127 more. I’m so happy. But what’s a Star Fragment?’
