Into the Creations - Chapter 1

Chapter 1 – Ability Awakening

 

—–CROW—– 

 

I lay in bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, then checked the time on my smartphone.

 

11:00 AM.

 

Just as I thought, I woke up too late.

 

‘Today’s… Professor Park’s lecture, wasn’t it? He’s going to give me hell later.’

 

Gukcheon University, Hunter Department.

 

My university and my major.  A ridiculous name for a major, but surprisingly popular.

 

In modern society, Hunters, individuals with special abilities, were treated almost like heroes.  The average income a Hunter earned rivaled that of employees at large corporations.  Moreover, if skilled enough, they could even become celebrities.

 

So, to ordinary people, the Hunter Department was a place full of dreams and hope.

 

However, the Hunter Department wasn’t a place just anyone could enter.

 

There were two conditions.

 

One, possess an ability. In this world, only those who could use abilities could become Hunters. Hunters were, in other words, superhumans.

 

The other, possess the potential to awaken an ability. I was this case. I was a Hunter aspirant attending the Hunter Department.

 

‘Damn it. When the hell am I going to awaken?’

 

I had the potential. The nation itself had certified it. Just in case, I’d undergone physical examinations three times at different hospitals, and all the judgments were the same.

 

But now, at 21, I was the only unawakened student in the department.

 

Naturally, I didn’t enjoy going to school.  The seniors looked at me with pity, my classmates looked down on me, and the juniors ignored me.

 

‘Awaken! Awaken! Awaken!’

 

I writhed in bed.

 

I desperately wanted to awaken. Other people awakened at some point, but I didn’t know why that “some point” hadn’t come for me.

 

‘Uwaaaaagh!’

 

I screamed internally.

 

I knew the soundproofing in this studio apartment was poor. I’d confirmed it every Friday night with the moans of the guy next door and his girlfriend.

 

‘I want to awaken too! I want to be successful! I want to go to clubs! I want to have one-night stands!’

 

Hunters were popular.  Just being a Hunter made it easier to pick up women. I’d actually seen one of my classmates effortlessly seduce women by bragging about being a Hunter. He was only F-rank, yet he still managed to pick up women.

 

‘God damn it!’

 

The more I thought about it, the more pissed off I got.

 

It was then, as I was thrashing around on my bed, that it happened.

 

My whole body glowed white.

 

“Awakening!”

 

I bolted upright. A precursor to awakening. It was manifesting in my body right now.

 

Gulp.

 

My body glowed for a while, then gradually subsided.

 

I immediately closed my eyes.

 

Upon awakening, an Awakened naturally came to understand their ability.

 

‘My ability is….’

 

Something entered my mind. The feeling of it being forcibly injected wasn’t pleasant, to say the least.  But I endured it. I had to endure it.

 

‘Leisure Life! …A life of playing and enjoying? What the hell is this!’

 

Information about the ability continued to be injected into my mind.

 

‘Check the app for details. …What? Fuck! What is this?’

 

Disbelief and frustration mingled as I cursed, but I hurriedly checked my smartphone.

 

There was an app called “Leisure Life” that hadn’t existed before. The app icon was a red heart. I couldn’t believe something like this existed.

 

‘What is this? Is this how abilities are usually awakened…? Fuck! That can’t be right. Breathing fire! Increased physical strength! X-ray vision! Most abilities are like that! Why am I like this?!’

 

I grumbled, but my hands moved.

 

I tapped the Leisure Life app.

 

Honestly, even though it was my ability, I didn’t quite understand it. ‘Check the app for details’ my ass.

 

Maybe it really was a great ability. I held onto a sliver of hope.

 

[Starting Leisure Life.]

 

On the screen, there was a character that looked exactly like me.

 

A 3D character.

 

A moderately muscular body and a face close to average.  And naked.  Even the penis between its legs was identical to mine in reality.

 

I felt a momentary chill, but considering it was an app created by my ability, I accepted it. I knew the world was full of inexplicable things.

 

[Sung Yoojin

 

Level: 1

 

Strength: 4 Stamina: 2 Agility: 3 Intelligence: 1 Vigor: 2

 

Available Points: 10]

 

“Intelligence 1?  Son of a bitch! I may be a bit dumb, but not a 1! A 1! And why my vigor? I’m average. …Ah. 2 is average. Then I understand.”

 

I consoled myself.

 

Actually, I knew my vigor was trash. It wasn’t like this in the past, but lately, even jerking off didn’t result in a satisfying release.

 

I clicked on my character’s chest on the screen.

 

[Invest points to get tattoos or change your form.]

 

I tapped the head.

 

[Invest points to get tattoos or change your form.]

 

It seemed I could get plastic surgery with points.

 

With a slightly perverse feeling, I touched the penis.

 

[Invest points to get tattoos or change your form.]

 

I clicked on the penis again, and it zoomed in. If it were someone else’s dick, I would have immediately cursed, but thinking it was mine made me feel strangely affectionate.

 

“Can I make it bigger?”

 

I dragged the penis, and it stretched.

 

[Increase or decrease by 1cm per point.]

 

It seemed I could increase not only the length but also the thickness.

 

I fell into contemplation.

 

‘Honestly, mine is a bit small down there.  Just a little bit smaller than average.  Just a tiny bit smaller.’

 

Of course, that was just the length. I was confident in the thickness.

 

After some deliberation, I invested 5 points to increase the length of my penis.

 

The reaction was immediate.  I felt a tingling sensation.

 

I took off my pajama pants and lowered my underwear. My penis had grown.

 

“Ooooo…!”

 

I fondled it.

 

I played with it a few times, but it didn’t get hard. I decided to invest the remaining 5 points in vigor.

 

[Sung Yoojin

 

Level: 1

 

Strength: 4 Stamina: 2 Agility: 3 Intelligence: 1 Vigor: 7]

 

Again, the reaction was immediate. I felt strength returning to the limp member.  With a little bit of touching, it became magnificently erect.  Just by glancing at it, it looked to be about 16cm.

 

A length I couldn’t grasp with one hand. A length that far surpassed the Korean average.

 

‘Looking at it like this, I want to invest more in thickness too… But I can do that later.’

 

I took my hand off my penis. What I needed to do now wasn’t jerk off, but to understand my ability.

 

I tapped the menu at the bottom of the screen.

 

[Owned Traits List]

 

[Owned Skills List]

 

[Owned Items List]

 

[Random Draw]

 

[Character Summon]

 

[Start Leisure]

 

[Leisure Management]

 

There were a total of seven menu windows. I intended to tap each one in turn.

 

The Traits and Skills lists were empty. It seemed there were no default traits or skills.

 

The Items list had three slots, which were also empty. I tilted my head as I looked at the slots.  Call it a hunch, but something felt strange.

 

‘…This is really absurd, but.’

 

With a feeling of disbelief, I picked up the water bottle next to my bed. And with a hopeful heart, I brought it close to the screen.

 

The water bottle was sucked into the screen.  A picture of the water bottle appeared in one of the empty slots.

 

“Wow….  My ability seems fucking amazing.”

 

Taking it out was easy too.  I double-clicked the water bottle on the screen, and it came out naturally.

 

Smiling, I put in the water bottle, my practice sword, and my workout clothes.

 

The Hunter Department often had practical training sessions.  Combat against low-level monsters like goblins.

 

As a non-powered individual, it had been difficult for me to carry these things to university.  But I couldn’t leave the practice sword at the university.  It was worth over 700,000 won, and someone could steal it.

 

“Now I can go to school lightly.”

 

[Random Draw]

 

A box with a question mark appeared.

 

One draw cost 1 point.

 

[First-time limited free 3 draws!]

 

“Well, aren’t you just generous.”

 

Without hesitation, I tapped the random box to start the draw.

 

I wasn’t good at holding back.  When I saw things like this, I just went for it.

 

The box on the screen shook and emitted light. A round object emerged from within.

 

[Summoning Pill.

 

Increases all stats by 1.]

 

“Is this a good item?  I don’t know what comes out at all, so I don’t know if it’s good or bad.”

 

I clicked the screen.

 

[Item list is full. Automatically materializing.]

 

A round pill popped out of my smartphone.  I picked it up and examined it closely.  It looked like a black pill, resembling rabbit droppings.

 

“Hmm.  Let’s just eat it. It’s my ability, after all.”

 

I popped it into my mouth. The Summoning Pill melted the moment it touched my tongue.

 

I shuddered.  My body felt refreshed and energized.  I checked my stats, and they had all increased by 1.

 

[Sung Yoojin

 

Level: 1

 

Strength: 5 Stamina: 3 Agility: 4 Intelligence: 2 Vigor: 8]

 

“Oh. Nice.  Next draw.”

 

[White Wrist Guard

 

Makes masturbation feel even better.]

 

“Fuck.”

 

I could tell for sure.  This was a dud.

 

I tossed the materialized wrist guard against the wall after looking it over.

 

“The Summoning Pill was good! Please give me something like the Summoning Pill!”

 

I started the last draw.

 

[Acquired the skill, Complete Recovery!]

 

[Complete Recovery Lv.1

 

Completely recovers. All status ailments are removed, and wounds are healed.

 

Cooldown: 24 hours]

 

My eyes widened.  The method of using the skill entered my mind.

 

After a moment of contemplation, my experimental spirit took over.

 

The usage was simple.  I just had to think about using the skill.

 

“Complete Recovery!”

 

I looked at my body. There were no flashy effects like in a game. However, there was a change in my body.

 

“The scars on my body… they’re all gone….”

 

The small burn mark above my navel. The mosquito bite scar on my calf. Even the acne scars on my face had all disappeared.

 

“And my skin has gotten better too. Ah, is this what it means to completely recover from status ailments?”

 

I guessed that the condition of my internal organs had improved.  I had been told my liver wasn’t in good condition during a previous physical examination, maybe it had been healed.

 

Perhaps because of this, my face looked a bit more handsome.  Before, it was just an average face, but now it seemed like I had become somewhat attractive.

 

Acne scars and clear skin were that significant.

 

“This is awesome.  This is a healing ability! A healing ability, the most precious among Hunters…!  I’m a nobleman too….”

 

I closed my mouth.

 

The Complete Recovery ability only worked on myself.  Moreover, I could only use it once every 24 hours.  As a Hunter’s ability, it was quite underwhelming.

 

With a sigh of disappointment, I moved on to the next menu.

 

[Character Summon]

 

There were no characters to summon. I skipped it.

…….

 

There were dozens of selectable creative works.

 

But only one creative work caught my eye.

 

It was the video I had watched a week ago.  How much I had admired it.

 

“…T-This is.”

 

I had a hunch about what my ability was. But I couldn’t be certain. I needed an experiment to be sure.

 

And the perfect test subject was right here.

 

I tapped SV-7495.

 

[SV-7495 selected.]

 

[Creating avatar.]

 

[Starting Leisure.]

 

The smartphone emitted an intense light, and I felt my consciousness being sucked into it.

 

???

 

Before my eyes was a two-story house with white walls.

 

I stood behind a streetlight, gaping at the house. Then I shuddered. I knew exactly what this house was.

 

SV-7495 was an AV.

 

Adult video.

 

Simply put, it was Japanese porn.

 

I was inside porn right now. This house in front of me was proof.

 

The title of SV-7495 was ‘Stranger Invades Housewife’s Home!’ and it starred the AV actress, Kutomoori Rea.

 

‘C-Calm down, Sung Yoojin! You can’t assume this is reality yet!’

 

I took a deep breath.  Otherwise, I felt like my heart would explode.

 

Just then, the front door of the house opened, and a woman came out carrying a garbage bag in one hand.

 

‘Gasp!’

 

I was stunned.

 

A housewife wearing tight-fitting jeans and a shirt, with an apron over it, had emerged.

 

A high-bridged nose and red lips.  Snow-white skin. Dark brown hair tied back in a ponytail.  A voluptuous butt and breasts.

 

The AV actress I had only seen on a monitor was right in front of me.

 

‘I-It’s really Kutomoori Rea…!’

 

I looked around.  The thought crossed my mind that this might be the filming location for the AV.

 

Then I spotted a man, and my heated mind cooled down instantly.

 

I saw a middle-aged man hiding behind a wall, peeking at the housewife.

 

‘The middle-aged man who often appears in AVs!’

 

I gritted my teeth.

 

This development.

 

I couldn’t not recognize it.

 

‘In the porn, that man breaks into the house and… the housewife…. Damn it!’

 

The housewife, after putting out the trash, started to go back inside.

 

The scenario was obvious.  She wouldn’t lock the door, and the man would intrude.

 

‘…I’ve decided.’

 

After a brief but intense period of contemplation, I reached a conclusion.

 

The man started to move.

 

And I ran towards him.

 

‘Mister. Thank you for everything!’

 

I delivered a dropkick.
