[You can now select the starting point of some creations upon reaching level 30.]
Returning to reality from the Vampire Detective game, I sat on the sofa and immediately stopped the game, reading through the logs.
‘Hah. I was in there for almost a month just to reach level 30.’
I didn’t do anything special. All I did was eat, sleep, and screw. Screwing, of course, refers to sex.
‘Vampire pussy was more disappointing than I thought.’
The inside of a vampire’s vagina was cold. Still, it produced fluids and was tight, so it was better than an onahole. I might enjoy it as a treat sometimes.
‘Connection levels, huh.’
Currently, the characters with the highest connection levels are Hera and Choi Sun-mi. Honestly, I still don’t get it. It doesn’t seem like connection levels increase just by having sex. It’s just nice that it gives bonus points.
‘Does a higher connection level mean they enjoy sex with me more?’
Connection levels don’t represent affection or favorability.
Currently, Moon Ji-hyuk’s connection level was 5. Moon Ji-hyuk is trying to forget me and move on with his life. Yet, his connection level is 5. Once a connection level goes up, it never goes down.
I pondered about connection levels before turning my attention to my level. There’s no need to figure out connection levels right now.
‘Level 30. Being able to choose a starting point means… I can start earlier than the original story, or even further back.’
This is a significant advantage.
Knowing what will happen in the future, I can prepare for it more easily before the original story begins and gain benefits.
[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 30
Strength: 21 Stamina: 21 Agility: 22 Intelligence: 12 Virility: 24]
[Available Points: 77]
‘I should raise the Yeongcheon Style. Who knows? If the Yeongcheon Style’s level gets high enough… I might awaken mana.’
Currently, my mind was filled with thoughts about the Yeongcheon Style.
The lightning and dark shadows that Jin Woo-sung showed at the Yeongcheon Sword Hall. I can’t forget them.
‘Should I raise my virility stat? I feel like I’ve been lacking virility lately.’
[Sung Yu-jin
Level: 30
Strength: 21 Stamina: 21 Agility: 22 Intelligence: 12 Virility: 30]
[Available Points: 47]
‘Ah. I feel a bit better now.’
In the Vampire Detective game, all I did was have sex. Wake up in the morning and have sex. Eat lunch and have sex. Have sex outdoors for dinner.
‘I came at least 30 times a day.’
If I came more than 5 times in a row, I would get tired. If I didn’t have a full recovery skill, it would have been impossible to come 30 times a day. I probably would have died from exhaustion before seeing the end of the Vampire Detective game.
‘I want to raise my virility stat to 50… How many points do I need?’
[You need 10 points to raise your virility stat.]
[Do you want to raise your virility stat?]
‘10 points just to raise virility by one? Huh.’
I shook my head.
I turned my eyes away from the stat window. If I kept looking, I might impulsively raise other stats.
I’m going to save my points to raise the level of the Yeongcheon Style.
I raised my virility stat because it’s an absolutely necessary stat.
‘I wonder what new creations are available this time?’
With anticipation, I looked at the selectable creations.
-Zanstin’s Sword (Manga)
‘I watched this when I was in elementary school. It was about a talking sword.’
It’s a nostalgic manga. When a friend brought a manga to school, I would borrow it and read it.
It was fun, but my current goal is mana awakening. Who cares about a talking sword?
-The World’s Greatest Sex Tournament (AV)
I almost chose this one as soon as I saw the name.
This is an AV where 7 AV actresses fight each other to determine the best pussy.
‘Only A-list AV actresses appear. Damn.’
I’ll consider entering it later if I get bored.
-Fallen Heavenly Demon (Novel)
‘This is a martial arts novel I read a while ago.’
A Heavenly Demon who conquered the martial world fights the King of Hell, loses, and is cursed with corruption, reincarnating into another martial world. The curse of corruption forces the reincarnated Heavenly Demon to do good deeds.
‘Wait a minute. There’s a spiritual elixir in there.’
A spiritual elixir that increases internal energy just by eating it!
If I steal and eat the spiritual elixir that the protagonist is supposed to eat first…
‘Calm down. There was a sentence that said that if an ordinary person eats the spiritual elixir, they won’t gain internal energy but will live a long and healthy life.’
And if I bring the spiritual elixir into reality, its effects will definitely diminish.
‘Still, it’s worth trying. Fallen Heavenly Demon. I’ll keep that in mind.’
-Black Life (Novel, Game)
Black Life is a fantasy zombie apocalypse story. The novel came out first, and then the game.
‘The novel was a complete flop, and the mobile game was briefly popular.’
I played the game too. But I didn’t play it for very long. The game didn’t have a set story. It was just about eliminating the zombies and monsters that attacked and collecting pretty female characters. At the time, it was a fairly novel mobile game, so it was popular for about a month. But it crashed after that.
‘The game and the novel are completely different, but they’re in the same category? Then what’s the content of the creation?’
I was curious, but there was no reason to enter this creation.
-The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into a Baron’s Family (Novel)
‘It’s been a while. A friend recommended this to me in middle school.’
It was a total of 10 volumes, and I enjoyed reading it.
The story is about Dam San-woo, a plum blossom swordsman of the Hwasan Sect, who reincarnates as the second son of a baron’s family in a fantasy world and founds the Hwasan Sect.
It was a growth-type overpowered harem novel. I remember there were a total of 5 heroines. It’s been a while, so I don’t remember the names of the characters very well.
‘What was it… In the end, he marries all 5 heroines… Hmm, I don’t remember much. Was it set in a world where the Magic Tower controlled the economy?’
Brrr.
It felt like an electric current was running down my spine.
“Eureka!”
I shouted as I jumped up from the sofa.
‘The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into a Baron’s Family’ has a condition called mana insensitivity. It refers to a condition where one cannot feel mana innately.
But the Magic Tower solved this problem. They created something called a mana awakening potion. The mana awakening potion allows one to feel mana just by drinking it.
‘I remember this clearly. At the time, I thought that even if you didn’t have any abilities, you could become a hunter just by awakening mana.’
If I have this, I might be able to awaken mana too.
‘Even if the effects are diminished in reality… If I drink 2 or 3 bottles in a row…! There’s a possibility!’
I suppressed my increasingly excited mood.
I have too little information about ‘The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into a Baron’s Family,’ or ‘Plum Baron’ for short. In my hazy memory, I don’t even remember the protagonist’s name properly, and only a few impressive settings come to mind sporadically.
‘It’s okay. I can just reread the novel.’
I immediately went online and searched for ‘Plum Baron.’
The search results popped up.
‘…What? Why is it so unpopular?’
Looking at the netizens’ reviews, most of them said it was a trash novel. I clearly remember enjoying it.
‘The analysis that the netizens did… There isn’t any.’
Since it’s unpopular, there’s no way they would do an analysis.
Well, it didn’t matter.
I could just meet the author in person and buy a setting book or get advice.
At this time, I didn’t know.
That the author had died in a traffic accident.
•••
I couldn’t get the setting book for ‘Plum Baron.’
The author had passed away in a traffic accident 3 years ago, and after talking to the author’s older brother, he said that the author himself had deleted the setting book for ‘Plum Baron.’
I heard that he had stopped writing after publishing ‘Plum Baron.’ Saying that he didn’t have any talent.
‘I found it. An analysis of Plum Baron.’
It was an analysis from 5 years ago. After searching through all sorts of novel-related sites, I was able to find an analysis of ‘Plum Baron’ in an old portal site cafe.
Even if ‘Plum Baron’ was unpopular, the fact that it was published in 10 volumes meant that it had some fans.
‘There are 56 analysis posts.’
Of course, I also analyzed ‘Plum Baron’ while rereading it. But it was difficult to do an in-depth analysis.
‘Looking at it now, it’s so boring.’
I couldn’t understand why I enjoyed reading this in the past.
‘I felt like I was going to die from frustration.’
The protagonist was impotent and a pushover. He was meddling in other people’s affairs, talking about justice and duty. And he was extremely oblivious to romance. He couldn’t feel it even when they were openly expressing their feelings. It was so contrived that it was disgusting.
‘They’d be happy if you just fucked them and made them moan, so why doesn’t he know?’
Considering the atmosphere at the time, it wasn’t entirely incomprehensible.
Back then, this kind of protagonist was popular. And this is a novel for all ages, and the author was in middle or high school when it was published.
‘…Well, fine. He looks easy to use since he’s a pushover.’
After finishing my analysis of ‘Plum Baron,’ I made a perfect plan.
‘I just need to make money. If I have money, the Magic Tower will sell me anything.’
The Magic Tower in ‘Plum Baron’ was close to a corporation. If you had money, they didn’t care about the other person’s status. There was even a setting where you could buy a title with money.
‘Then shall we begin? As long as I don’t start as a slave, it’ll be fine.’
[You have selected The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated into a Baron’s Family.]
[An avatar will be created.]
[There are 3 selectable avatar settings.]
‘Three. It’s a relief that I can choose.’
[1. Eugene Tykerus
-31 years old. Slave.
-Originally a mercenary, but became a slave after raping a village girl and being caught by the guards.
-Lost his left eye while fighting the guards.
-Made a contract with a demon in prison.]
[2. Eugene Prukerus
-15 years old. Noble.
-The third and youngest son of the Prukerus family.
-Son of Haruel Delishik.
-Has excellent dexterity.
-Has a congenital heart disease.]
[3. Eugene James
-27 years old. Mercenary.
-The leader of the Gojinggo Mercenary Group.
-An excellent strategist.
-Has no conscience.]
I looked over the 3 avatars.
‘There’s no need to think too hard about this. It’s Eugene Prukerus. I can’t believe I’m going to be the protagonist’s younger brother.’
The Prukerus Baron family.
It’s the main stage of the novel. The protagonist, who died in the martial arts world, reincarnates as the second son of the baron’s family.
‘This… My plan is going even better than I thought.’
In the original story, the protagonist pushes out the eldest son and becomes the official successor. It’s because of the protagonist’s talent and ability with swordsmanship. Later, he becomes an aura master at a young age and is revered as a hero, so there was no way he wouldn’t become the successor.
‘I’ll take the Baron family. And I’ll take all the heroines too. Hehehe.’
I’ll use him like Moon Ji-hyuk. No, in some ways, he might be even easier to use than Moon Ji-hyuk. Because I’m the protagonist’s younger brother.
‘I like it very much!’
[You can select the starting point of the original story.]
[Default. 1 year ago. 3 years ago. 1 year later. 2 years later.]
‘I can really choose the starting point! Things are going smoothly.’
First of all, the points after the start of the original story are excluded from the selection.
To take over the Baron family, I need to lay the foundation when the protagonist hasn’t grown up yet.
‘1 year ago seems like a good choice….’
3 years ago isn’t a bad choice either. Having a lot of time means there’s more I can do.
I pondered.
Then, something suddenly flashed through my mind.
‘Wait a minute. If it’s 3 years ago… Hehehe. The location is perfect too!’
I chose 3 years ago.
I’ll do everything I can. I’ll get everything I can.
[The game will now begin.]
•••
I opened my eyes in a large bed.
It was a luxurious room. There were decorations and high-end furniture all over the walls. A magic light on the ceiling was illuminating the interior. The room was a bit too spacious.
‘It’s bigger than the private training room at the Yeongcheon Sword Hall.’
There was a table right next to the bed with a teapot and paper on it.
I sat up from the bed and habitually looked for my smartphone. There was a smartphone next to the pillow.
‘It’s here.’
It was an object that didn’t quite fit in this world. Just in case, I tried to open the internet, but it wasn’t connected.
Then, I belatedly realized that my hands were small. My skin was so white that it looked like I had put on powder.
‘……It’s too small to be my original body.’
