Chapter 21: Cheat Character

The protagonist Choi Si-woo was in a really fucked up situation.

Of all things, getting dragged around by a Firebat. If only Yoo Eun-ha had just stayed a quiet homebody, none of this would've happened.

Lee Yoo-jeong is a woman essential to saving the world.

Unlike before the regression, he had plans and was going to meet her later.

But since Eun-ha had already met her, he decided to trigger the incident at the student cafeteria to get closer to Yoo-jeong earlier.

Though there had been various things with Yoo-jeong before the regression, now was different. Rather, since he was branded as "a chatty bitch of a man", he was trying to find some common ground.

The harem was something he had without even realizing it, and he didn't want a harem now.

The world is more important.

"Yoo Eun-ha you fucking bitch. Just wait. I'll definitely get revenge."

Yoo Eun-ha?

He turned his head at the words spat out by a bronze-skinned woman rushing past toward the student cafeteria.

"Hey, what happened with you and Eun-ha?"

"Ugh, that bitch Eun-ha insulted us and beat us up, but the Student Council only gave us demerits and 20 hours of service..."

There's no way Eun-ha would do that.

These dumbass girls dare try to pin everything on Eun-ha.

"The Student Council doesn't give demerits or service hours to innocent people. You must have done something wrong, right?"

"Ugh."

"Touch my friend one more time and I won't let it slide."

When he released his killing intent, the thugs turned tail and ran.

Unlike before the regression, he can't worry about every little thing now.

He needs to protect the world, and if bitches like that become villains and mess with Eun-ha it could be dangerous. After releasing killing intent they shouldn't try anything stupid.

When Si-woo arrived at the room, what he saw was two women half-undressed and embracing each other.

[Oh yeah]

"So this is possible between women too?"

[Acting innocent, are we?]

"No, I'm a guy so I wouldn't know about this stuff."

[There are a lot of yuri among the Constellations since there are more females. But damn this is hot. By the way, are you okay? She was your woman before the regression after all?]

"Well, priorities have changed."

[Is that Eun-ha? Her technique is insane! Wow, that Yoo-jeong girl's back is arching like a bow. Holy shit what a fountain.]

But watching this feels strange.

After all, Yoo-jeong was his lover before the regression.

He wasn't looking for a lover this time since he was determined to prevent the world's destruction. But seeing this makes him feel like Eun-ha stole his girlfriend.

And she's even making her feel better than he did, which really feels weird.

"Um, what about virginity between women?"

[Hell if I know. Damn, she's really good at this. I want to manifest.]

Even as this went on, the two were thoroughly exploring each other, sinking into a swamp of pleasure.

Yoo-jeong's reddened, twitching sex was dripping wet as it accepted Eun-ha's fingers.

*gulp*

Even though she's not his lover now, it still stings a bit feeling like Yoo-jeong was stolen, but seeing Eun-ha's actions makes him wonder what it would be like to be a woman.

What would a woman's pleasure feel like? He became genuinely curious.

He'd never seen Yoo-jeong trembling with pleasure like this before.

Above all, he found himself wanting Eun-ha to do those things to him too.

Since Yoo-jeong had fallen for Eun-ha anyway, it shouldn't be a problem for preventing the world's destruction.

"Wow, that's... wow."

Before the regression, Han Soo-ji had shown me some porn videos saying she wanted me to treat her like that.

But this was even more incredible than those.

Even though it wasn't between a man and woman but lesbian sex between women, how could it look so erotic.

[Seems like she only likes women.]

"...Hey Constellation, is there a way to become a woman?"

[...I'll look into it. But let me borrow your body once.]

Divine Sword User Choi Si-woo. His Constellation Divine Sword. Without realizing it themselves, they were falling for Eun-ha's devilish charms.

* * *

Once the Academy's regular classes ended, our protagonist gathered all the heroines.

For the Internet Broadcasting Club, he picked a dungeon.

The Academy seemed to oppose it because of the Black God Church threat, but our great Divine Sword somehow managed to persuade them.

"Wait, this party composition is fucked up?"

Si-woo is a Warrior using the Divine Sword

Reina is an Archer using a bow

Han Soo-ji is a Spearmaster using a spear

Lee Yoo-jeong is a Hacker using Electronic Warfare?

Me, an irregular just slashing with stimpacks.

In other words, all DPS. No, Yoo-jeong is limited to dungeons where she can use Electronic Warfare.

"But isn't this party comp weird? We don't have any mages or healers?"

"Don't worry. I brought first aid kits. Bought them with club funds, they have potions."

"Senior, you're not a healer."

No, since when is potion support a healer?

"I knew this would happen so I picked a dungeon with mechanical monsters so Senior Yoo-jeong can contribute too. And Eun-ha."

"What."

"The best defense is offense. Just hit them enough during the time you'd spend defending."

In other words, just DPS the shit out of everything.

This bastard wasn't originally like this?

If I had to describe him, he's the type to make proper party compositions. Tank, DPS, support, healer. Exactly like that.

But now it's all DPS focused?

Though Yoo-jeong's electronic warfare is hard to use on living monsters, there's nothing better against mechanical ones.

"I'll follow from behind. Today I want to see your skills."

"Ah, I see."

But that guy keeps looking at me and blushing.

What's he trying to do?

I don't think he's trying to gain my favor now of all times.

"The dungeon's called Mekaland. The recommended Hunter rank is C-Class, but is this okay? We haven't even done proper dungeon training?"

"We can just do it now. Eun-ha will be leader, I'll stay in the back."

This fucker's dumping the burden on me.

Well, it's not bad to see Electronic Warfare with my own eyes.

Let me explain about mechanical dungeons.

It has an SF feel. The monsters are robots with cores, and there are lots of traps. Things like lasers spreading out where if you touch them missiles come flying or your limbs get cut off.

"Ah, so that's why you said to just DPS them down."

This bastard Si-woo. He brought us to see Yoo-jeong's power.

He must be done analyzing my skills after seeing me catch Kim Seung-joon before.

"Eun-ha. Are there no Black God Church here? I'm so scared."

"You can actually get scared?"

"Why? I'm a woman too."

Soo-ji clung tightly to my side.

"Um. Yeah."

"Hey Miss Han Soo-ji. As the disciple of the legendary Spear Master Kim Jae-soo, how can you be scared? Get off."

"Hmph."

Threatened by Reina, Soo-ji let go and pouted.

A while after entering the dungeon.

"Kyaaak!"

"Urk!"

What is that bastard Si-woo doing back there?

He seems to be following properly, but what's with the occasional screams?

Is he playing some haunted house concept and playing recorded files back there?

Let's give up thinking about it. I don't even want to think about it.

"Oh, a trap room."

"Let's avoid the obvious. I'd rather not deal with annoying stuff trying to get that treasure."

I've been to a mechanical dungeon in the work before.

Mekaland. The dungeon we entered has the same name, but since it was only described in text I'm not sure if it's the same place.

But just looking at the trap room's description, if you touch the treasure chest in the first trap room, missiles come flying from all directions.

Actually if you think about it, Electronic Warfare alone solves everything.

Pak-in!

Suddenly electricity flowed through the room's walls and the lights went out.

This means the traps have been disabled.

Looking to the side, there was Yoo-jeong smiling with her eyes glowing blue.

"Wow what a cheat."

In the original work at this time, she didn't have a chance to use Electronic Warfare trying to protect the stupid Si-woo in the trap room.

That Si-woo was a nuisance in many ways.

Now he's fine since he's doing suspicious things in the back, but those occasional screams are still concerning.

But seeing Electronic Warfare in action was truly mind-blowing.

Just activating it with her eyes and completely destroying everything - just how comprehensive is this Electronic Warfare ability?

"Is there even anything left for us to do?"

"Yeah seriously. This senior is totally broken."

That was Reina and Han Soo-ji's complaint while looting the treasure chests.

The treasure chests contained gold nuggets.

With this much, we could probably live comfortably for a while.

After the Association's tax cut and splitting it 5 ways, well... it might be worth as much as those cores from before.

"But what's that Si-woo kid doing back there? He keeps making weird noises."

"I don't know. He's just weird sometimes."

Choi Si-woo, who's now being treated as a total weirdo, is still hanging back there.

"At first I kind of liked him rationally, but how do I put it... there's this creepy vibe behind his smile? Not that that's necessarily bad. But he doesn't give off that 'want to date him' feeling, you know?"

"Right. He's good looking but like... kind of an overwhelming guy?"

That bastard Si-woo has already lost 3 heroines.

Is he gonna end up dickless at this rate?

But that guy is weird. If he knew Yoo-jeong was cheat-level enough to wreck this dungeon, why bother coming here?

What was the reward for this dungeon again?

"Ah."

Mekaland's boss clear reward is the Ancient Heritage.

It's literally an artifact containing the ancient people's knowledge that binds to whoever uses it.

In the original story, Si-woo used this to get Cheonsan Group's sponsorship by giving it to Lee Yoo-jin, Yoo-jeong's sister and current CEO.

Though partway through, Yoo-jin gets briefly brainwashed by a mediocre villain in South Korea and the Ancient Heritage ends up getting taken.

With that, the Black Dragon Association develops greatly, growing strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Cheonsan Group despite being a villain organization.

This can't be regression after all.

I don't get why he'd bother coming to get the Ancient Heritage. Si-woo hadn't thought about giving it to Yoo-jin until Yoo-jeong mentioned it.

Could it really just be coincidence?

I mean sure, if he was targeting mechanical dungeons there are others besides Mekaland. How did he know about the reward?

[Intruder detected. Activating Golem defense system]

Various metal pieces appeared in the air in the distance and combined into one.

These were the first large Golems we'd encountered.

The Golems looked pretty solid, and they actually were solid.

They're basically immune to physical attacks, so you need overwhelming power compared to the Golem to damage them physically.

Yeah, what more needs to be said.

As a substitute, I have trouble damaging those damn things due to lack of strength.

No, this body is weird. Strength doesn't increase as easily as expected.

It's not that it doesn't increase at all. Awakened ones with abilities are stronger than normal people. Of course physical enhancement is different too.

Then you could use spirit arrows like Reina or mythical grade weapons with elemental magic like Soo-ji, but magic is annoying and getting weapons is hard.

Reina and Soo-ji who went ahead were holding their own against the golems.

Since all the traps were removed, it's time for those two to shine.

"Sigh."

Somehow I feel like I've become a troll.

Seeing me like this, Yoo-jeong hugged me from behind.

"Nobody's perfect at everything."

"What am I even good at?"

"That was my first time passing out like that."

Let's not talk about it. I definitely got switched on then and did things without thinking.

Ah, but I kept the last part safe. The law of bolts and nuts can't be ignored after all. There are limits.

Who knew Yoo-jeong could moan like that. I unleashed all my techniques from back in the day for handling women on Yoo-jeong.

"But I might be able to handle that much."

Sometimes sphere-shaped golems pop out of the walls.

They're spheres with 4 legs, kind of like the Dragoon units from that strategy simulation game if I had to describe them.

Their attack pattern is either latching on and hitting with their 4 legs, or shooting bullet-like things from the hole in the middle, which is pretty annoying.

But they're small and their core is obviously visible, so you can just use acceleration to run up, pin their leg joints with your foot, and stab them with a knife.

*Crack!*

Just using acceleration is enough to take down the small ones instantly.

Mekaland was like a maze dungeon, but with Yoo-jeong destroying all the trap rooms with electronic warfare, we breezed through.

"I didn't know dungeons could be this boring. It's all Senior's fault."

Reina and Soo-ji were getting frustrated too.

Well yeah, Yoo-jeong is destroying everything by herself.

Originally this dungeon story part was where protagonist Si-woo was supposed to shine, so it's a bit concerning, but since that guy is hanging back going "Ugh! Argh! Kyaa!", things are going smoothly thanks to Yoo-jeong.

Come to think of it, couldn't they protect the world just fine without me?
