[Your Adventurer, Ivsha, has been promoted to LV3!]
[EXP -300!]
"What is this?"
A gentle white light enveloped Ivsha, making her feel incredibly comfortable. The increase to All Attributes made her pale violet eyes tremble slightly, a look of disbelief on her face.
She knew, of course, where this Power came from.
According to rumor, Guild Presidents had the ability to grant special powers to the Adventurers who joined their Guild.
Ivsha had only ever heard of this Power, but feeling it for the first time filled her with excitement! This was proof of Su Xuan's recognition and trust, and she felt incredibly honored.
Meanwhile, Su Xuan was observing the changes that came with Ivsha's level-up.
[Ivsha (Epic)]
Level: 3 (0/300)
Race: Succubus
Power: 70 / Agility: 70 / Magic Power: 70 / Physique: 70
Growth: 10 (Gain 10 points to All Attributes per level-up)
Skills: (Expand)
Traits: [Unwavering Loyalty] [Succubus] [Nun]
Su Xuan stared at Ivsha's Attribute panel, lost in thought.
'It seems that within the Level 10 range, there are no other boosts besides Attribute increases. But every 10 levels, an Adventurer hits a milestone and achieves a major breakthrough.'
'Although the required EXP will increase significantly, they'll be able to learn new Skills or gain new Traits!'
Just as Su Xuan was anticipating Ivsha's future evolution, the bathroom door slowly creaked open.
His gaze shifted, and a stunning, snow-white figure entered his vision.
Ivsha stood in the bathroom doorway, a bath towel wrapped loosely around her exquisite body. It clung to her fair, smooth skin, revealing her alluring curves.
Having just stepped out of the bath, her skin was faintly flushed from the heat. Droplets of water she hadn't yet wiped away hung on her skin, glistening with a faint luminescence.
At that moment, Ivsha was like a freshly ripened apple, exuding a tempting aroma~
Su Xuan found himself staring, completely mesmerized.
A Succubus!
Truly breathtaking!
"M-Mr. Su Xuan..."
Ivsha noticed Su Xuan's gaze, and a blush crept onto her cheeks. She asked softly, "Where are the clothes you bought for me?"
"Hang on, I'll go get them!"
Su Xuan hurried to get the Nun's Habit he had bought, but the image he had just seen was seared into his mind.
'A wet towel really is slightly see-through.'
'Even though Ivsha tried to cover herself, I still caught an unforgettable glimpse.'
Su Xuan sighed from the bottom of his heart!
'My favorite color is peach~'
"Here."
Su Xuan handed the Nun's Habit to Ivsha.
"Thank you."
Ivsha took the Nun's Habit, ready to change.
Su Xuan didn't look away, assuming that Ivsha would close the bathroom door before changing.
But when he saw Ivsha casually drop the towel right in front of him and start changing into the Nun's Habit as if no one was there, he froze completely!
'Ivsha... is so generous!'
Faced with Su Xuan's direct stare, Ivsha didn't feel the slightest bit of disgust. On the contrary, her heart was filled with joy.
She was a Succubus, after all. Even though she had lived in a church her whole life, she couldn't completely escape the instinctual stirrings deep in her blood.
Of course, her actions were also the result of a firm decision.
This was special treatment reserved for Su Xuan alone—one of a kind, for one person only.
Soon, Ivsha had changed into the new Nun's Habit.
She spun around once, satisfied, and said with a smile, "Mr. Su Xuan, this Nun's Habit fits perfectly."
"I'm glad it fits."
Su Xuan said with a faint smile.
At the same time, he complained inwardly, 'Why doesn't this game have a screenshot function?'
'It's a real shame I couldn't save that breathtaking scene!'
"Oh, right. This is your reward for the quest."
Su Xuan handed a heavy coin pouch to Ivsha.
"Is this? 100 Copper Coins!?"
Ivsha's beautiful eyes widened in surprise!
She was flattered and amazed. "The quest reward wasn't supposed to be this much, was it?"
"There's also a bonus for killing a High-Level Demon," Su Xuan explained.
Of course, what percentage of the hidden quest's reward to give Ivsha was entirely up to Su Xuan.
"How lucky~"
Ivsha smiled sweetly and put the 100 Copper Coins in her pocket.
Adding the 30 Copper Coins from the previous quest, she had earned 130 Copper Coins in a single day!
That was an amount she couldn't have even dreamed of earning in her backward hometown!
"It's getting late."
Su Xuan glanced at the sky outside the window. The darkness of night had already fallen.
He had originally planned to finish all three commissioned quests, but the appearance of the hidden quest had taken up a lot of their time.
"I'll be waiting for you at the Guild tomorrow morning."
"Okay~ I hope you have a good dream tonight, Mr. Su Xuan~"
After leaving him with those meaningful words, Ivsha left the Guild via the Teleportation Array.
After she left, Su Xuan collapsed onto a wooden chair, feeling drained.
He wasn't tired from the long quest, but from being with Ivsha. His heart was racing, and he couldn't calm down.
Especially when he thought of Ivsha taking off her Nun's Habit to bathe naked.
It was as if a seal had been broken. The very air in the Guild was thick with a tempting, bewitching aura that unconsciously drew people in.
If his self-control wasn't so strong, he'd have long since drowned in that tender trap!
Damn it!
This game is too damn realistic!
But why...
He felt like he was playing a first-person game, not an adventure-management one!
"I should log out. That's enough for today!"
Su Xuan immediately logged out of the game.
When he took off his VR headset, he found his body was in the middle of performing a certain... forbidden ritual on its own.
"No! I need a shower!"
Su Xuan rushed to the bathroom to douse the flames of his desire with ice-cold water.
「Meanwhile!」
Ivsha had also returned to the church.
By the time she got back, it was late at night.
The other Nuns at the church were already asleep. She tried to tiptoe back to her bed, but was stopped by an old, heavyset Nun.
"Ivsha, come with me."
"Sister Kelly!? Is something wrong?"
"The church is preparing to negotiate with the town's wealthy merchants about our debts. We older Nuns would like to hear your opinion."
"Mine?"
"Yes. You are the most outstanding Nun of our church's younger generation. You have the right to know about the difficulties the church is now facing!"
...
"Hoo~"
"Hah~"
With a sharp gasp, Su Xuan suddenly woke up, panting!
It wasn't a nightmare that woke him. On the contrary, it was a pleasant dream.
In the Dream Realm, he had dreamt of Ivsha!
And...
Ahem!
Su Xuan rushed into the bathroom and splashed cold water on his face to wake himself up properly.
The realism of that game was terrifying. He never expected it to start affecting him in the real world!
'Or have I just been single for too long?'
Besides that, Su Xuan also recalled the strange entry that had appeared when he was recruiting an Adventurer.
'Was it a bug in the game?'
'Or maybe a unique ability I have as a Player?'
He had no way of knowing, and he couldn't find any relevant posts on the game's forums.
He did find one post from a Player who said that her accepted quests would randomly change for no reason, which she found very confusing.
But no one could answer her question, so they could only chalk it up to a bug in the game...
