Chapter: 7

Chapter 7

"I underestimated it," I murmured under my breath as I gazed at the victory cutscenes on the computer. It was my twelfth win.

"If an intermediate gaming skill is this good, how strong would an advanced one be? Would I be able to beat world champions like toddlers?" Dae Ho mused, with a glint in his eyes.

But one thing he realised after this, is that he'd need to practice it and gain experience to fully realize this skill's capabilities. As the {Intermediate Gaming} didn't quite behaved like what he had expected. Instead of instantly granting comprehensive knowledge at intermediate level, it felt more like an gaming instinct at intermediate level was inserted into his body.

So whenever he played, his eyes would automatically get focused on the crucial areas, he instinctively knew which skills to use and not to use, and his hands would automatically manoeuvre the mouse with almost supernatural deftness. The more he played, the quicker his reflexes and the clearer his thoughts became.

It was exhilarating. He had never experienced anything like this newfound prowess before.

"Hmm... but if I want to reach the summit of this skill, this café won't work. The players here are too amateur," Dae Ho thought, glancing at his in-game name, {Author_is_Lazy}, which was currently ranked first with the most kills and assists.

"Maybe I should join a gaming club and participate in regional tournaments. The players there must be better, it will help me get better than here and I could also earn some prize money," he considered, already making plans.

"Gosh, this fucking game is so mean! What did I do to deserve a team like this?!" But suddenly an angry, frustrated voice suddenly erupted behind him.

Turning his head curiously, Dae Ho saw the back of a woman. Although he couldn't see her face, he noticed her long blonde hair and the way she was slamming her fingers on the keyboard as if she intended to break it.

"She seems pissed," he thought.

"They aren't even a team, just a bunch of brain-dead bastards! Aargh!" the blonde shouted, slamming her fist on the table before letting out an exasperated sigh. "Now I need a smoke," she grumbled, pulling out a cigarette.

Before she could light it, the brunette next to her, in a nerdy outfit, stopped her with a worried expression. "Stop, unnie, that's not allowed here," she said gently.

"Since when?" the blonde asked, deadpanning.

"Ah, fuck it, can't I just burn one? I'll get a part-time job here if it's a big deal," she said, frustrated.

"You can't, unnie. This is a non-smoking place," the nerdy girl insisted, both polite and pleading.

'Her mouth is quite fierce,' Dae Ho thought with a hint of amusement as he watched the exchange.

Turning his chair towards them, he said, "Your character was an agility/archer, right? You were diving into groups too early in the game. You should let your tanks engage first in the early fights while you hang back. And you're farming was pretty lazy too."

From what he had seen, she was quite a noob, even with Gold rank. He could probably beat her even without his new gaming skill, just relying on his reflexes.

"Fuck you! What the hell did you say?!" She immediately turned towards him, eyes blazing with frustration.

"Are you deaf too?" he asked, unfazed by her vulgar language. It reminded him of a volcanic girl from his old life that he had quite fun playing around.

"What did you just say to me?" The blonde woman left her seat and stood directly in front of him, trying to look down on him.

'Hmm? She's even more beautiful than I thought. And those red eyes really complement her blonde hair and that fierce expression. But what's with these massive mammary glands? Does every woman in this world have such big racks?' he wondered, admiring the view in front of him.

"Hey, bastard! Are you even listening to me?" she shouted, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"I am listening. If you're wondering, I'm not deaf like you," Dae Ho taunted her.

"You!" Her face turned red with rage as she grabbed his collar, looking ready to beat him up.

"Unnie... we are in a café!" The nerdy girl, who seemed to be following the blonde, quickly pulled her back.

"Urgh... dammit," the blonde muttered, noticing everyone staring at her. She felt her face flush with embarrassment, which only fueled her anger toward Dae Ho.

"You!" she pointed at him with a glare. "Come and follow me, you bastard."

'Huh... interesting,' Dae Ho thought, intrigued.

-----

"Are you sure this is the place you wanted me to follow you guys in?" He said as they entered an alley. But since it was daytime, it didn't look shady.

"Don't tell me you guys want to kill innocent me, who just tried to advise you a bit on game," He said with a mock fearful look.

"Hmph, don't worry, we are not that petty," She huffed with an angry look.

'Unnie...why are you dragging me into this?' The nerdy brunette murmured under her breath.

"Or is it something else, don't tell me, you are after my body," He said as he hugged himself with his hands, as if he was protecting his body against them.

"What the fuck are you saying bro. That will not happen even in your dreams, and you should be the last person anyone would want to take advantage of with this thin and weak body of yours," The blondie mocked.

'...'

That made him annoyed, not at the woman, but at the old Dae Ho. That guy never exercised; he'd either fool around with Gobong or just stay at home, getting pampered by Mia and Eun Ha. That was the reason he had this crappy physique.

"What? Cat got your tongue? No snappy comebacks now? Is your physique your sour point? Don't worry, if you kneel down and beg, I won't make fun of your body," she replied with a smug smile.

Dae Ho raised his eyebrows at her. 'What is she trying to do? I only tried to help her out with a bit of advice, and it's not something I would normally do. Maybe it's because of the skill—I felt an ick at her noob gameplay and couldn't help but comment on it. But now she's telling me to kneel down and beg her? Is she an idiot or what?' he thought, baffled by her reaction.

"Woman, please don't ruin your pretty face with your idiotic words. Who orders people to kneel and beg in the 21st century? It's almost making me lose interest in you," he said, unimpressed.

"You... hymph! I get it, I finally get it. You were doing all this because you're interested in me, right? You saw a beautiful girl and tried to take your chance with your waste of advice to get my attention," she said, as if she'd had a divine revelation.

"But I'll say it to your face now: your attempt was pathetic at best. I've dealt with a lot of guys like you," she said, huffing and taking heavy breaths, her voluptuous chest moving up and down with her breath.

'I am annoyed now,' he thought. He liked many types of women be it fiery, kinky, cute or even crazy, but not the unreasonable ones. Plus, he had just met this woman ten minutes ago, and no matter how pretty her face was, this was getting too much.

She needs to be taught a lesson.

He narrowed his eyes, using his height advantage to look down on her, and let out a bit of his thick killing intent to crawl over her body. Immediately, her face went pale and unknowingly her shoulders started to shiver, even the brunette behind her suddenly took a few steps back.

"I think that's enough, don't you think," he said coldly.

But the next thing that happened surprised him a bit. The blonde suddenly tried to punch him, but with such a low level of skill, there was no way she could hit him.

He easily moved sideways, seeing her first pass by him by a hair's breadth.

Her eyes grew wide as she missed, and because of it she couldn't help but trip out of her balance, falling face-first towards the concrete.

'My jaw...my nose, they're going to break,' she thought, eyes widening in panic as the concrete floor closed up to meet her face.

But at the last possible moment, when her pretty face was just a mere inch from shattering against the ground, her body jerked to an abrupt halt. 'What happened? Did time freeze?' she wondered briefly before dismissing her illogical fleeting thoughts as she felt something firm and unyielding pressed into the softness of her breast, holding her body suspended.

"Hmm?" She glanced down, only to find a foot firmly planted between the generous swell of her cleavage, Dae Ho having deftly caught her with his outstretched leg, preventing her from crashing face-first into the unforgiving concrete.

"You are really reckless, huh?" Dae Ho chided as he smoothly retracted his foot, allowing her to regain her balance once more.

"Be grateful you have a pretty face, because if not, I might have let you fall directly on it," he added, nonchalantly dusting off his shoe.

"You..." The blonde woman straightened up, her face flushing crimson as she pointed her finger towards him. "Don't try to turn this on me. Just admit you wanted to cop a feel of my breasts. You're the one who gained something unexpected today," she huffed indignantly, stubbornly looking away. "But since I'm feeling generous, I'll let you off the hook this time."

"I just saved you from a lot of medical bills and trying to blame me again . And who was the one who lashed out and tried to punch me so suddenly?" he said, one eyebrow arched.

"It's because you suddenly got too close to my face and I thought you were trying to take advantage of me," she retorted, looking a tad flustered as she scrambled for a justification.

In truth, when she saw him with that cold, intimidating stare, she didn't know why, she felt scared. Only two thoughts flickered through her mind in that split second: flee or fight. And with her pride, her mind refused to entertain the notion of turning tail, so her body had reacted on instinct, lashing out with her fist before her conscious thought could catch up.

And while she was inwardly grateful that he had prevented her from those nightmarish hospital bills, she was far too proud and stubborn to accept it.

"Heh...do you really think I would try to take advantage of you? Stop being so delusional; it'll only ruin that pretty face of yours," Dae Ho scoffed. Though he had to admit, she did possess a body that could easily tempt even the most disciplined of men. Her face alone was better than most of the women he had ever met, so much that he had to admit, she could give a good competition to Eun Ha and Mia, and when you combine that with her bountiful breasts and lithe waist, her allure bordered on breathtaking. If she were to go to a third world country without a bodyguard, she likely wouldn't survive a single day.

"You keep calling my face pretty, but you claim you won't take advantage of me. Aren't you being hypocritical?" she challenged, folding her arms defensively across her ample bosom.

"Calling a pretty thing pretty doesn't necessarily mean I would try to take advantage of it. Do you think I'm some kind of debased scoundrel?" he shot back, his words eliciting another flush of colour to her cheeks. It wasn't often someone praised her beauty so directly and shamelessly.

"W-What are you, some bastard? Are you trying to flirt with me?!" She blurted out, trying to conceal her flustered state behind a mask of indignation.

"Don't flatter yourself. I don't flirt with mere gold-level players who don't even try to take a bit of advice," he taunted with a subtle smirk.

"You... Hmph! What rank are you then? No, don't even tell me. I'm sure you must be a total fucking newbie!" she scoffed, trying to taunt him.

"Bronze V," he stated calmly. The only reason for his low rank was due to the limited number of matches he'd played. As for his skill level, he knew no one in this café could beat him.

"Pfft... Hahaha... you pathetic, inexperienced bastard, I knew it. You're just bronze rank, and you were trying to lecture me? Haha, me, a gold player. You must have seen a beautiful woman and couldn't control yourself, right? Your flirting game needs serious work, but I'll give you points for effort. Tsch, virgin noob," she sneered.

'Ugh... these gamer types really don't hold back with the insults,' he thought with mild annoyance.

"If you're so confident, then why don't we settle this with a 1v1 match in single hero lane? I'll even let you pick the hero. What do you say?" he challenged, his tone calm.

"Oh, the virgin newbie wants to challenge me, does he? Fine, but I have a condition," she smirked.

"First of all, don't assume I'm a virgin. Second, what's your condition?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Heh, every virgin claims he's not. If you lose, you have to admit in front of everyone here that you're a pathetic noob. You'll also have to kneel down and apologise to me," she declared with a smug fold of her arms.

"Unnie... this is getting out of hand," the kindhearted brunette tried to stop her, but the blonde wasn't listening.

"I'm not finished! You'll also have to pay for a whole year's subscription to a private room in this gaming café and cover all my food expenses," she added.

"Hyuna-unnie, stop! You promised you wouldn't gamble like this anymore!" the brunette pleaded.

"Relax, Yunji. We're running low on funds, and this is basically free money for us. Just trust me," she whispered to Yunji's ears before turning to the man.

"What happened, cat got your tongue? What happened to your challenge now? Do you want to chicken out." She said.

"And if I win?" Dae Ho asked, now he didn't feel annoyed but instead he was feeling a bit of pity, knowing she was going to lose.

"Ha! Like that'll happen. But if you somehow manage to win, I'll... I'll treat you to dinner," she said, her smirk wavering slightly.

"Do you even have the money to take yourself out for a decent meal?" He didnt care about how unfair the bet was, as he knew there was no way he was going to lose.

"Of course!" she stated confidently. Only the slight tremor in her fingers hinted that it was all but false bravado. She was actually broke.

"Then prove it. As for me, I can show you I have more than enough to cover the bet," he said as he pulled out the hundred-dollars Eun Ha had given him earlier.

"Uhh..." Immediately she paused and started glancing around, looking like a fish out of water as she gulped at the sight of the cash.

"Dammit, fine! I don't have money, but I can offer something else as my stake," she gritted out.

"And what might that be?" he asked, eyebrows raised.

She took a few steps toward him, her left hand drifting up to the neckline of her top as her right settled on his shoulder with a firm grip.

"Whenever you looked at me, I noticed your eyes go straight to my breasts. You're a fucking virgin, right?" she taunted with a smirk.

'Even the most non-virgin man would have trouble avoiding that...' he thought.

She then slowly tugged down the neckline, revealing her cleavage. "So if you win, I'll let you touch them. They're all natural G cups. I know your virgin mind must be thrilled and dancing at this, right? Hehe."

He had to admit, if he were truly an inexperienced virgin like she thought, he might have been over the moon. But sadly for her, she was far from being correct. Even if his current body might be virgin, his mind and soul were far from that.

He first pushed her hand away from his shoulder, putting some distance between them. "That's an utterly dog shit deal. Do you think you are some type of goddess or what? No one in their right mind would settle for just a touch that in exchange for covering a year's worth of expenses. I'm not desperate." He spat out.

"You...You...refuse me!" She practically snarled, stamping her foot like a bratty child, even though she knew how outrageous her proposal was.

"Fine, you win! I'll sweeten the deal. You can touch them for 15 minutes, no top, no bra. Anything you want," she declared, pulling her top down far enough to expose more of her cleavage, he could even see her rose coloured nipples.

He had to gulp a bit of saliva at that sight.

"Oh my goodness... Unnie!" the flustered brunette cried out.But the shameless blonde ignored her, locking eyes with Dae Ho. "Deal?"

"Deal," Dae Ho agreed, he was going to enjoy the reward to his fullest.

"Let's get started then."

Also give me some critiques, reviews, and comments.

And since I'm writing this fic to improve my smut writing ability, it will mostly revolve around smut, but don't worry there will also be a plot. But overall, you can consider it a smutty slice of life.

I'd also like if you guys provide some anime/Novel/manhwa/Pornhwa worlds you would like to include in this story. If it's not too complicated or too much supernatural and has good waifus, I'll read up on the wiki and include it.
