“This is the largest house on the market.”

“Oh…”

It was definitely big.

It’s one of the few houses I’ve ever seen.

In fact, after earning a lot of money, I used to sleep in expensive hotels and lodgings, but in fact, no matter how expensive the hotel was, it was not that big.

Even a reasonably priced hotel didn’t seem to be as big as the living room of this house.

‘There are five rooms and two bathrooms.’

That alone was spacious enough.

It feels like it’s too big to live alone.

Still, I wanted to live in a house like this at least once.

Until now, I thought I had no desire for a house, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

I think I was suppressing that desire because I simply couldn’t afford to think about moving.

As I visited various houses and got introduced to them, my desire for houses began to creep in.

In that sense, this place was a passing score.

I liked the fact that it was spacious, close to Hongdae, noisy, and that each room had an air conditioner installed on the ceiling.

In addition, the interior was harmoniously composed of white and wood, which was nice to see.

As I was touching the wallpaper with a satisfied expression, a woman approached me.

“But actually, there is one problem…”

“Yes? What is it?”

“This place is a bit… expensive…”

“Ah.”

I heard the price of the house and took a look around the house.

Even though it was a bit pricey, I decided to buy it because I liked it.

“The money is okay.”

“Ah. Well, that’s right…”

The woman seemed to be looking at me a little embarrassed.

Still, I wanted to try it at least once.

Showing off with money.

I didn’t feel bad.

Of course I won’t do it next time.

For no reason, I felt embarrassed when I looked at the woman’s expression.

Once I decided to sign a contract, the process went smoothly.

When I signed a contract for a house, they informed me that I could move in in just a few days.

During that period, I decided to take care of a nearby hotel again.

I decided to purchase furniture one by one in advance according to the timing.

I thought about bringing some furniture from my previous home.

Now that I live in a big house, I decided to change all the furniture.

A large refrigerator, sofa, TV, dining table, and closet that couldn’t be placed in a small room.

Above all, a big bed.

The bed had to be big.

So. I needed a roomy bed, even if there were two women, or maybe three, including me, on the bed.

If only I had a bed that size.

Surprisingly, I found it easy to find.

My eyes widened as I selected and paid for all the furniture.

Even though I had plenty of money, my old spending habits remained.

My hands were shaking when I looked at the ridiculously priced furniture.

“The sofa is 300 won… What is this refrigerator? It costs up to 8 million won… The TV is, wow…”

It was dizzying before my eyes.

Without worrying about the price, I just put what looked best and ended up like this.

But I just closed my eyes and bought it.

This is an investment.

Investment for me.

After pressing the purchase button, I felt strange for some reason.

I couldn’t believe it because the amount of money I spent today was unrealistic.

After spending money like water for a while, I found myself opening the quest board again.

Now I felt like these quests had become a kind of stimulant for me.

“Is there somewhere a little more comfortable this time…”

It would be truly unforgivable for me to even think like this.

Stealing someone else’s woman also required a lot of effort and time.

In many quests, I have tried to succeed in these insidious actions, and this time in particular, I was a little tired.

Because he was possessed rather than possessed by a villain, he had to watch his mouth, and because he watched the Constellations in the beginning and watched So-yi’s feelings.

I used more energy than expected.

Maybe that’s why this time, rather than looking for rewards or world view, I was mainly looking for quests that were easy to complete and seemed a bit relaxing.

And when I looked for it, I found quests with similar content mixed in.

Representative examples include Japanese erotic comics and Korean adult web novels that I read.

“Good thing I read several of them.”

Basically, adult works have few conflict elements and there are many quests that seem easy to enjoy.

However, there were also some regrets.

If I targeted adult heroines, they would show reactions and facial expressions that I knew.

It must be exactly as it was shown in the original.

And there was me who felt it was a bit boring.

“…I was full.”

It was a really frustrating worry.

And one work caught my eye.

“Yeah, there was something like this…?”

[Buy 2 slaves through gambling]

When I saw the contents of the quest, I thought of a novel.

A novel centered on slavery and gambling.

I remember this was also one of the adult novels.

It wasn’t anything particularly special.

It was just an adult story about the main character wandering around special casinos and gambling halls and meeting a lot of women for gambling and money.

If you think about it, there has never been a lump of dopamine as big as this.

Pretty woman, gambling, slavery, adult novel original.

How can each word be so provocative?

I happened to have gambling skills, and if it was definitely about this world and the quest, there was no need to target the heroine from the novel.

It seemed okay.

Above all-

‘Even if I gamble, I’ll have enough money…’

I thought I could have some light fun.

Plus, I had some tricks up my sleeve just in case.

For the sake of my dopamine, I accepted the quest.

***

When I came to, it was late evening and I was in front of a huge building I had never seen before.

From the outside, it looked like a huge stadium, but the dazzling lights emanating from various places caught the eye.

And at the bottom of the building, I saw letters written in English.

I pronounced the identity of this building, pronouncing each letter.

“Casino.”

When I read the name of the huge building that captivated all five senses from the entrance, my heart started pounding.

I wanted to come to a place like this at least once.

Just slowly approaching the light made me feel like I was in another world.

The people standing at the entrance to the casino were different from ordinary people.

There were only types of people I had never seen before.

A person who has bags under their eyes and is looking at the floor with unfocused eyes, and a person who has their clothes straightened with a face full of confidence.

And even the people who are checking people entering the casino with cool expressions.

Even though it was clearly a casino, I somehow felt like I had entered a martial arts world.

I sensed an invisible war of nerves and an unreasonable age gap in the people.

The energy was different from that of ordinary people.

It was fun just to observe such people.

And then a man approached me.

He was a neat-looking man with bald-white hair and a suit.

The suit was not an ordinary suit either.

It was a slightly flashy suit with white and light purple touches.

It was an outfit that reminded me of a waiter or a hotel bellboy.

It seemed to be the official attire of this casino.

As I looked inside the casino, I saw people wearing similar clothes walking by.

“Is this your first time at this place?”

I nodded quietly.

“If this is your first time, you must create a membership card.”

The man skillfully led me and began explaining the basic rules and locations of the casino.

After making a card, we walked around the inside of the casino, briefly explaining the machines and places.

And finally, after explaining where to exchange chips, we naturally parted ways.

“…Seup, look at this?”

For some reason, I was a little hesitant to go in at the entrance.

I had just escorted the man and before I knew it, I was inside the casino holding my membership card.

His speaking skills were quite good.

So much so that I feel like I want to learn.

“Would you like me to exchange the chip?”

“Ah, yes. …Oh, can I change gold into chips?”

“Friday… Ah! In that case, I think we can lend you the chip using gold as collateral.”

Lend the chip using gold as collateral.

In effect, it was said that the casino was functioning as a pawn shop.

It’s scary.

When I said I would do so, a woman who appeared to be a receptionist called me inside the chip exchange.

“Then go inside.”

As soon as I entered, my eyes were taken by the various objects that filled the walls.

Watches, cell phones, expensive-looking bracelets, and even car keys.

It was somewhat eerie to think that all of these things had been deposited as collateral.

I felt like I had already seen the dark side of the casino.

“Then, the item you want to deposit as collateral…”

“Ah.”

I put my hand into my pocket, casually opened my inventory, and took out the gold.

When she held out a gold bar of an appropriate size, the woman’s eyes widened, as if she had not expected gold of this size to pop out from inside her arms.

“Now, wait a minute.”

The woman hurriedly contacted someone on the radio, then opened the door and the man who guided me earlier came in, out of breath.

As soon as the man came in, he saw me and quickly approached me and bowed his head.

“Hahaha… Sir, do you mind if I help you?”

“Yes… well…”

I nodded, embarrassed.
