I'd used that precious Random Skill Coupon and somehow ended up pulling an N-grade [Invisibility]. Ignoring Pomi, who was still mumbling to herself with a complicated expression, I hurriedly opened the skill window.
⚙ SKILLS ⚙Invisibility (N, Active/Inactive) - Consumes mana to render your body invisible. Lv. 0: Consumes stamina (60 per hour), makes only the body invisible. Bodily hair, fluids, and other substances detached from or secreted by the body are not affected by the skill.
The last line slammed into my eyes like a hammer. 'Only the body,' 'only the body,' 'only the body.' Fuck!
I was imagining myself wandering around in the chilly late February weather with my dick flopping out when Pomi, having finished her thoughts, glared at me and spoke up.
"Ugh... I was trying not to use my power and just focus on recovering, but here I am feeding my contractor..."
She let out a deep sigh and explained her idea.
"There's a Rare skill called [Target Status Reveal (Succubus)], right? If you level it up to 1, you get an effect called 'Succubus's Eye.' You listening?"
I nodded.
"Using that eye lets you read a woman's sexual barriers and fantasies on a strong, medium, or weak scale. Take a desire for molester victimization as an example. Say there's this slut. If her barrier is Slut (Weak), she's curious but doesn't know what it'll be like if it actually happens. But if it's marked as Slut (Medium), she gets off on it when molested. She absolutely won't report it. Slut (Strong)? Well... she's not normal."
"S-So what you're saying is..."
"Yeah. For now, I'll use 'Succubus's Eye' to pick out girls who definitely crave getting raped or molested. We'll only target those kinds with Invisibility. Okay?"
Wait, that sounds totally...
"Isn't that a crime?"
"Then hypnotizing them or charming them isn't? And like I just said, if their barrier is (Medium) or higher, they're dying to experience it. We're just making them happy. We rack up points, and they fulfill their fantasies."
"S-Still, it feels different somehow..."
"Want me to ease your guilt a bit more? Mr. Choi Jun-young, if you can't pay the system usage fee, your soul gets ripped out. If the demons chasing me catch you before you gather points and get stronger, you're torn apart. And if the priests find out..."
"S-Stop! I'll do it! Happy now?!"
"You like the idea but pretend you don't. Be honest. Now that I've given you a reason, you're all like, 'No choice,' and going easy on yourself, right?"
This damn ghost of a girl... Honestly, yeah, I wasn't entirely against it. If I'm gonna die otherwise, what choice do I have?!
She was looking at me like I was adorable.
Her cute elementary school kid face beamed with a bright smile.
At times like this, she seems like a total angel... But then Pomi started mumbling with her lips.
I was terrified of what she was about to say next.
"Hey."
And sure enough, my prediction was spot on.
What came out of her mouth was...
"With that in mind, how about trying it with the girl next door?"
"Huh? What?"
I swear she just said something weird. Something about doing the girl next door...
"Jun-young, you trust me, right?"
Just yesterday, she'd tricked me into the contract with that seductive innocent sexy concept, and now she had the gall to ask if I trusted her?
I smiled and answered confidently.
"Yeah, sure I do. Totally."
I don't trust a word Pomi says, but I do believe her punches hurt.
With a sigh, I pictured the girl next door.
We'd only exchanged greetings a few times in passing. I didn't even know her name. All I knew was that she was stunningly beautiful and a student at the university nearby.
"You know who lives next door?"
"Huh?"
This bitch...
I gritted my teeth and said to Mia,
"M-Mia... What if we don't even know who she is? How are we supposed to..."
"Speak properly."
"M-Ms. Mia, how am I supposed to do anything if I don't even know who she is?"
"Hehe. I told you, I have 'Succubus's Eye.' Just trust me."
Pomi erased her smile and got serious. Her eyes began to glow red.
Pomi, who could read a woman's sexual barriers and fantasies through 'Succubus's Eye.' She cleared her throat with an 'ahem' and puffed out her small chest.
"Groooar. I can feel the lewd energy from the girl next door all the way here!"
Are you gathering ki like Sun Wukong?! More importantly...
"...Isn't it called an eye? Don't you have to look?"
"That's just the skill name for you humans. Sure, you need the stat window to see it, but for us succubi, it's innate. If she's within a certain distance, I can sense it."
She added, "Anyway,"
"The girl next door has... hmm, hmm... Dirty Talk Fetish (Medium), Masochism (Weak), Masturbation Addiction (Weak)!"
"Dirty Talk... what?"
"Dirty Talk Fetish. Getting aroused from curse words, obscene language, that sort of thing. Masochism... well, you know that one?"
I nodded.
"And FYI, she's a virgin."
I was at a loss for words.
"Y-You can tell that too?"
"You can see it once you get the skill. It'll even show how many guys she's been with."
Virgin detector skill, huh.
Still... the college girl next door always greeted my ugly mug without a hint of disgust.
'Such a nice girl is an M? And she likes being verbally abused?'
She's a pervert straight out of hentai!
"People are different on the inside and out, right? Sexual barriers are even more secret... What would a virgin like you know?"
Apologize to virgins nationwide! We're about to become grand wizards!
"But you said 'Succubus's Eye' comes at level 1 of [Target Status Reveal]? You don't know her name or anything?"
"Like I said, 'Succubus's Eye' is an innate succubus ability. It's totally separate from the status skill; they just bundled it for your convenience. In short, I can't see stat info unless I look directly at her."
Even with Pomi's assurance that the target would enjoy it too, invisible sex life was a huge hurdle for someone like me, who'd been past puberty and never even littered on the street.
I closed my eyes for a moment and steeled myself.
Tucking away the guilt, anxiety, and excitement, I clapped my hands and declared,
"Alright, I've made up my mind!"
Pomi, who'd seemed brimming with confidence the whole time, watched my resolve with a tense expression.
"Next door, let's go!"
"Phew... You were gonna do it anyway, so why the theatrics?"
"Felt like I should at least pretend to agonize... So, what's next? If I use Invisibility, can I pass through walls too?"
"Eh...? Oh, uh!"
Mia suddenly looked flustered.
"W-What's wrong? Something bad?"
"..."
"Hey, why're you making me nervous?"
"I didn't think of that."
"What?"
"...I forgot about the d-door..."
"Can't you open it with your strength? Your fists were like honey hammers."
"Wanna die?"
No. Sorry.
She said it was easy in her original form, but right now, shrunken for recovery, she couldn't muster her full power.
Still, this girl who talked so big forgot something like that? Total airhead.
I braced for a hit and was about to tease her when...
Ding-dong.
The doorbell rang suddenly.
"Huh? W-What's that? I didn't order anything."
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
"Hey, it's loud. Go check."
"Oh, right. Coming!"
Thud thud thud.
I dashed to the door and glanced at the intercom. No one was visible on the other side.
"What the hell? Creepy."
If it were late night or dawn, I wouldn't open it for anything, but it was Saturday morning.
This wasn't the prelude to one of those horrific news crimes!
I cracked the door open, and something bumped against it.
"A delivery? Did Mom send something?"
The delivery guy must've left the box and gone down the stairs; I heard footsteps fading away.
I was about to open it in the entryway when I spotted the recipient address and froze.
"202... Kim Yu-ra?"
Our place is 201?
'Wrong delivery!'
I bolted out the door.
"E-Excuse me! This was deliv...!"
'Wait a sec. This could be...?'
I was about to chase the delivery guy, thinking he might not have left yet, but a sudden idea made me stop and call Pomi.
"Pomi."
"Don't call me that."
"Heh heh. I've got a great idea. Leave this mission to your big bro!"
"...?"
I ignored Pomi's confusion and mentally reviewed my flash of inspiration.
'A misdelivered package from next door at the perfect timing. Is heaven telling me to score today?!'
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
A moment later, I stood naked in front of the next-door door, Invisibility cast.
"Ugh... cold. And weird feeling. Kinda dizzy too."
Seeing straight through your own body was an incredibly bizarre sensation.
'Good thing I can still see myself.'
To my eyes, I looked like transparent liquid. Like a humanoid slime, if anything.
At first, I wondered if low level meant semi-transparent instead of full, but the mirror showed nothing, so I relaxed.
"Mia, can you see me?"
"..."
Pomi had stopped materializing and gone ethereal.
Unlike morning when only her voice was audible, she was now semi-transparent, visible only to me or other demons.
Shame she was still tiny.
I suggested she phase inside, materialize, and open the door, but she snapped that it wasn't that convenient. Explain first, then yell!
My guess: She could, but was embarrassed she hadn't thought of it and pretended otherwise.
Anyway, she ignored my question about visibility and stared at the hallway wall.
Come to think of it, when I'd stripped for the skill, she'd let out a cute 'Kyaa.'
'She said she's a virgin too... Don't tell me?'
Mischief struck. I moved in front of her turned head and shook my massive tool.
"Whoa, looks like Mia can't see my body. How's it look, Mia? Can't see it, right?"
Slosh slosh. Flop flop.
"Eek?!"
She whipped her head the other way. I kept bouncing it toward her, but Pomi spoke up.
"I c-can see, so try coming closer. I'll burst you. The dizziness will fade as you get used to it."
I froze!
"Y-You need to get used to my naked body too. You're a succubus, after all..."
"Shut up. It's my first time seeing one for real, so I was just startled."
Seeing her embarrassed made my dick try to swell; I forced it down.
Down, boy! That's a crime with her!
Embarrassed, I changed the subject.
"B-By the way, she's definitely home next door, right?"
"Huh? Y-Yeah... definitely."
She was sneaking peeks at my junk while pretending not to and answered blankly.
'Hope this plan works...'
I took a deep breath, placed the box away from the door, and rang the bell.
Ding-dong.
A bit passed with no response.
"...No one's coming."
"Ring again. Maybe she's in the bathroom."
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
Sure enough, light footsteps approached from inside, and the intercom light blinked red.
"Who is it?"
'Hng.'
"...?"
Worried she'd suspect something and not open, I'd placed the box where the intercom clearly showed it. Sure enough.
Tap tap.
Footsteps neared.
Click! The doorknob turned.
'Finally!'
