[Steal the woman hiding her true nature.]

Since it seemed like the most manageable quest, there was no hesitation.

“Ugh…”

Upon accepting the quest, the surrounding space seemed to warp and fluctuate in size.

Feeling like I might get motion sickness, I tightly shut my eyes.

After a moment of vibration, the vibrations gradually weakened.

Carefully, I opened one eye.

“Where am I…”

My room had transformed into an unfamiliar sight.

[Starting the quest.]

[Return to the original world in one week.]

“Returning to the original world… does that mean this isn’t the original world right now?”

Which world had I come to?

Although it was an unfamiliar room, it didn’t seem much different from a typical studio apartment.

A slightly larger and well-organized studio apartment vibe.

Upon closer inspection, the furniture and electronics seemed expensive for a studio apartment.

At least it was a relief.

It didn’t seem like a world filled with zombie outbreaks or threats like a martial arts world.

Computer, refrigerator, bed, rice cooker, microwave – everything was there.

So, in a way, I was taken aback.

“My room is worse than this?”

I realized how lacking my own studio apartment was.

I checked around, but the only thing worth noting was the computer.

“It’s on.”

The computer had many internet sites open.

That must be a clue for the quest.

Before checking the computer, I absentmindedly opened the refrigerator, only to find it stacked with cans of cola.

“…It’s a rule for studio apartments these days.”

Although I didn’t know what world it was, seeing familiar sights made me think that adapting wouldn’t be a problem.

Sitting in front of the computer with a can of cola, I examined the internet sites that were open.

“There’s more than one or two.”

On each monitor, there were about 8 sites open, all related to one person.

Adult streamer Amber.

Amber’s broadcasts, social media, paid sites, galleries, fan cafes, etc., were all open.

And there were folders with her video and photo files open as well.

Most of the sites were adult content, so there was nowhere to look.

The only site unrelated to Amber was a stock site.

“…How much is this.”

The amount shown on the stock site was staggering.

Although I knew nothing about stocks, there were over five stocks worth more than tens of billions.

After contemplating, I decided to sell one of the stocks.

I thought about selling all of them, but it seemed impossible to use them all within the quest period.

Selling them was not difficult.

Thankfully, things like passwords and personal information were stuck on post-it notes on the side.

Had I possessed someone?

That thought crossed my mind, so I examined my reflection in the mirror in the bathroom, but at least my appearance was the same.

“Hmm…”

Anyway, it was a good thing.

I had obtained a large sum of money that I couldn’t even use within the quest period of one week.

At least there didn’t seem to be any problems with money.

I stared at the site of Amber, who was likely the target of this quest.

She was dressed provocatively, something an ordinary person wouldn’t dare to wear.

Although half of her face was covered with a mask, it was easy to see that she was beautiful.

And above all, her figure was extraordinary.

Every time her huge chest shook, it stole my gaze.

Even her swimsuit seemed to struggle to contain her chest.

Is she the woman hiding her true nature, Amber?

It doesn’t seem like she’s hiding it at all.

“Emotions…”

The distorted woman of the twisted wall was there.

What on earth could it be.

Even adult broadcasting was just one of many walls for her.

Even if she was a majohist, calling it rape was too much.

“A woman hiding her true nature…”

I was convinced that the goal of the quest was the woman on the screen.

Next is how to meet this woman. I just couldn’t figure this part out.

I checked if there were any clues on SNS like when I met Hanna before, but I didn’t know any places in this strange world.

At that moment, I heard the vibration of a phone.

I thought it was my phone, but of course, my phone was not in this world.

“Well then…”

Following the vibration sound, I found the phone under the blanket on the bed.

“Kang Minhyuk?”

The call was coming from someone saved as [Kang Minhyuk].

Of course, I didn’t know who it was, but I couldn’t refuse the call.

Every little thing happening here was a valuable clue to me.

“Hello?”

“Oh, you finally picked up.”

“Huh?”

“Remember we had plans today?”

Kang Minhyuk didn’t seem to notice anything strange about my voice and greeted me warmly.

He also asked about the plans.

Of course, I didn’t remember.

“What was it?”

“It’s our alumni meeting today.”

“Oh, right.”

“I sent you a message on KakaoTalk. Just come after checking that.”

With that, the call ended.

Checking KakaoTalk, there was a message from someone named Kang Minhyuk.

It was a brief message with just the location and time.

“Hongdae Entrance…”

It was a familiar name.

Luckily, there seemed to be no problem finding the place.

The only issue might be the time.

The meeting time was 10 o’clock, and it was currently 9 o’clock.

Not knowing where I was, I turned on the phone map app to find the way, and it took about 1 hour and 10 minutes to get there.

“I’m late.”

Even if I left now, I was already late.

I didn’t think it would be a big deal to be late, but I was worried that I might miss a clue for the quest.

Naturally, I grabbed the wallet next to the phone and computer.

It wasn’t mine, but it was necessary to progress with the quest.

I also saw the car key, but I didn’t take it.

I didn’t know how to drive.

However, even at a glance, I could tell that the car key was for an expensive car.

A Benz.

“Don’t people usually show off things like that at alumni meetings?”

I heard that boasting a little was one of the charms of alumni meetings.

Of course, it was shallow information obtained through YouTube or movies.

I didn’t know what it would be like in reality.

“Anyway… there are many other things besides that.”

Even though it was a stock-rich person’s house, it was small like a studio apartment, but there were many luxury items inside.

Just looking at it, I could see the logos of well-known brands on the wallet, clothes hanging in the closet, and shoes in the shoe rack.

“For now… should I dress up without showing off too much luxury?”

Since I wasn’t actually an alumni, there was no reason to look good, but there was no reason to look down on myself either.

Excluding the overly luxurious clothes, I dressed lightly and went outside.

“Is this it?”

Just standing still made me feel like I would be pushed and shoved by people passing by.

Hongdae Entrance was overwhelming for me. It was a street that seemed to make me develop social phobia.

Because of that, it was somewhat touching to have arrived at the meeting place.

“Who decided to have the alumni meeting in Hongdae?”

With unnecessary resentment, I headed towards the agreed place, where a group of men was gathered at the entrance.

It was only now that I suddenly felt scared.

‘Who am I to them?’

I have never lived in this world.

I just came to receive quests.

When I started to wonder what I should say if someone asked who I was, my head started spinning.

But the reaction that came was completely different from what I expected.

“Hey, Seonghan, you’re late?”

“Hey, I heard Kang Minhyuk on the phone. This guy didn’t even know it was our class reunion today.”

“Well, that’s true. Hey, Seonghan is here too, let’s go back in.”

The three of them greeted me warmly as if they were seeing an old friend, calling out my name.

‘Is this the power of the quest?’

For some reason, I awkwardly smiled and followed them inside.

In times like this, it was best to just go with the flow of the atmosphere.

The meeting place was a bar.

Apart from the friends attending the class reunion, there were many other guests sitting around drinking beer.

It wasn’t difficult to find where the classmates were sitting.

There was only one place where the tables were connected in a long row.

A group of over ten people were already enjoying their drinks.

“What are you waiting for? Come on in.”

“Uh…”

Feeling pressured from behind, I awkwardly made my way to the table.

Some of the classmates recognized me and greeted me awkwardly.

They must have felt awkward seeing me after a long time, but for me, they were complete strangers.

And I was able to meet Kang Minhyuk, who had called me.

I could recognize him from his KakaoTalk profile picture.

“You came?”

“Yeah.”

Kang Minhyuk was chatting and laughing with a woman.

Seeing this, the group of guys from earlier warmly greeted Kang Minhyuk and the woman.

“Wow, are you two still together?”

“It’s almost been 7 years, right? You should get married by now.”

“You guys said you were each other’s first love, right? How… how did you manage that…”

Many friends around them envied the couple who had been dating since their school days.

The woman next to Kang Minhyuk, looking embarrassed, sipped her beer slowly, using the beer mug to cover her face.

That caught my eye.

The sight of her face hidden behind the beer mug reminded me of someone I had seen recently.

‘Emotional barrier’

As soon as I thought about it in my mind, information came out.

[Barrier: Masochist, secret relationship, broadcasting, exposure, rape, choking]

The woman hiding her true nature that I had been searching for was right in front of me.
