Chapter 12

Chapter 12

I Installed a Dating App and Girls from Another World Became Obsessed with Me.

Episode 12: Drawing (Lottery).

The old and worn-out linoleum flooring, the yellowed wallpaper, and the rooftop view showing the nightscape of Seoul’s high-rise buildings between the old villas far outside the window.

It was a familiar sight.

It was my house, which only cost 1 million won in deposit and 200,000 won in monthly rent.

“I really came back.”

Just a moment ago, it was a uselessly large and incredibly dark cave, but now I’m back in my house in an instant…

In the blink of an eye? No, I didn’t even blink.

I was just in my house from some point on.

As if it were natural.

Ding-

“…What kind of app is this, really?”

With the familiar notification sound, I took out my phone.

[☆Congratulations on Kang Hyeon-u’s first match!☆]

[Affection Level Change]

[Iris Remeria Bayart Pelledia 1♡ → 85♡]

[Relationship Level Change]

[Iris Remeria Bayart Pelledia Lv.0 → Lv.1]

[300 Love Coins have been awarded as a reward]

[Additional reward for the first match has been provided]

[Congratulations on becoming a regular customer]

[The shop function has been unlocked]

[The mailbox function has been unlocked]

As expected, there was a lot popping up on my phone screen.

“What’s all this?”

It was quite cluttered, but after reading it slowly, it wasn’t incomprehensible.

Iris’s affection level and relationship level were pushed aside for now. The warmth of Iris still lingering on my hand made it unpleasant to treat it the same as a simple dating simulation.

“…Can’t I go back to Iris?”

Fortunately, the matching record remained, so I could see Iris’s profile.

[Name: Iris Remeria Bayart Pelledia

Age: 524 years old

Race: High Elf

Affiliation: Planet EB-17

Occupation: Archmage

Personality: Saintly Ruler, Non-killing, Devoted, Vegetarian······]

[Time remaining for rematching: 167:58:45]

“A week left.”

I didn’t expect to be able to rematch right away, but a week is too long, isn’t it?

[Tip: You can reduce the rematching time by using special items]

The tip that appeared just in time was useful, but it didn’t tell me what kind of item it was.

“Is it in the shop?”

The shop, which was locked before I met Iris, was open.

[The shop’s products change every time, so it’s recommended not to miss anything you need]

“Is it a random shop?”

There weren’t many types of products. About 10 items?

“Iron Sword 200 coins, Basic Alchemy Package 500 coins, Basic Swordsmanship Book 550 coins, Lowest Grade Stamina Potion 600 coins, Lowest Grade Mana Potion 600 coins, Top Actress Random Cunnilingus Ticket 800 coins…? What is this??”

My head was spinning.

Everything else was fine, but what was the Top Actress Random Cunnilingus Ticket?

I couldn’t afford 800 coins anyway, but I wanted to hear the explanation.

[Top Actress Random Cunnilingus Ticket]

[Grade: Common]

[Provides an opportunity to perform cunnilingus on an actress who has exceeded certain criteria when judging the box office success of her works, the level of her appearance fees, her awards, and her popularity.]

“…Huh.”

Were they really crazy?

This cunnilingus ticket, which costs 800 coins, had significant flaws.

First of all, you couldn’t fix the age range.

Among famous actresses, there were those in their 20s and 30s, but there were also many over 40.

“Ugh…!”

Damn, I just imagined it and felt disgusted.

“I’m definitely not buying it.”

I pushed it aside and looked at the other products.

Most of them were products that were exactly as their names suggested, so they weren’t very interesting, but there were two that caught my eye.

“AR (Augmented Reality) Ticket and Random Box.”

The AR ticket was an item that strongly stimulated my desire to buy from the description.

With this, I wouldn’t have to go through the hassle of taking out my phone every time I used the dating app.

It was a product that added convenience like a status window in a novel, and it only cost 500 coins.

Of course, I only had 300 coins…

“Damn capitalism…”

It felt like tears of blood were flowing, but there was nothing I could do right now.

Forcing my head to turn, a random box decorating a corner of the shop caught my eye.

The price per box was only 50 coins, but you don’t know what will come out. There’s no probability notation.

“…It’s not going to be something like toilet paper, is it?”

The price was definitely cheap.

Even a penniless person like me, with only 300 coins, could buy it 6 times. But my intuition was telling me that buying it was crazy.

It seemed like 300 coins would evaporate into thin air before my eyes.

“First, let’s check what I received as rewards when I was in that world.”

I only needed 200 more coins to buy the AR ticket.

Hoping that the rewards were coins, I opened the mailbox.

[Mailbox]

Starter Package x1

Golden Random Box x1

“Oh.”

I didn’t see coins, but something much better appeared.

A package and a random box with the modifier ‘golden.’

“This place has good service.”

But they separated me from Iris, so 1 star.

Anyway, I decided to open the starter package without further delay.

I pressed the receive button on the starter package.

Ding-

[Would you like to open the starter package?]

[※Caution, once opened, the package cannot be returned]

“They’re being unnecessarily intimidating.”

It’s a phrase that game companies use so frequently that I wasn’t particularly impressed.

Without much hesitation, I pressed the open button.

Pop!

With the effect of a white beam of light bursting, the package box opened.

It really felt like buying a package in a game.

[Starter Package]

[Beginner Equipment Set x1]

[Skill Random Acquisition Ticket x1]

[Inventory 10 slots]

[500 coins]

“Yes, this is it!”

It was a list that made me exclaim as soon as I saw it. I was thinking of bowing in all directions even if they gave me 200 coins, but they gave me 500 coins.

In addition, an equipment set and skill acquisition ticket that made my heart flutter just by their names, and even an inventory, the crowning glory of the status window!

This was the first time in my 21 years of life that I had seen a starter package with such solid contents.

“Let’s buy the AR ticket first.”

I didn’t know the time when the products in the store changed yet.

If I missed the AR ticket while trying to get equipment or skills, all I could do was sit on the floor and cry.

[Would you like to purchase the AR ticket?]

[500 coins]

[Y/N]

I immediately pressed the yes button without hesitation.

[AR ticket confirmed]

[The Other World Dating App is updating]

[You cannot use the app during the update]

[Estimated update time: 00:00:10]

[Updating…]

[Update complete]

As soon as the last phrase appeared, the phone screen turned off. Immediately after, a familiar screen appeared in front of my eyes.

“…This is amazing.”

[Other World Dating App]

[Matching]

[Shop]

[Profile]

[Mailbox]

It was surprising that the status window I saw in web novels appeared in front of my eyes, but I didn’t have to touch it one by one.

Of course, it wasn’t that the touch didn’t work, but a way to move the UI as I imagined was added.

It was too generous to be just a 500 coin function.

“My foresight was amazing.”

The biggest advantage was that it could cope with unforeseen accidents where the phone could not be used or lost.

I just bought one item, but my heart was as full as if I had eaten a bowl of rice soup on a cold winter day.

That’s why it’s good to give away anything like the generosity of the market.

To be honest, it would have been nice if there were only coins in the package, but I wouldn’t have felt as good as I do now.

While we’re on the subject, I decided to try opening the beginner equipment set and skill random acquisition ticket from our generous package.

[Would you like to use the beginner equipment set?]

[Y/N]

[Y]

[Please select your desired job before using the beginner equipment set]

“They’re so kind.”

I was planning to take the mage route.

Given the buffs this app gave me, and the fact that an 8th circle archmage was my teacher, I’d be crazy to do anything else.

As soon as I saw the beginner equipment set and the skill random acquisition ticket, I hoped that something related to the mage would come out.

‘If I had gotten something like an axe from the equipment set, it would have gone straight to the used market.’

Mage-related weapons or artifacts were not something that a guy like me, who has no connections, could easily obtain. Even if you have money, you have to go through several complicated procedures to get them.

[You have selected Mage]

[Basic Mage equipment is stored in your inventory]

With high expectations, I opened the inventory.

[Inventory]

[Assistant Monocle]

[Magic Ring]

[Wood Wand]

There were three pieces of equipment in the inventory.

[Assistant Monocle]

[Grade: Rare]

[Visualizes the flow of mana]

[Magic Ring]

[Grade: Rare]

[Slightly increases the power of magic]

[Wood Wand]

[Grade: Rare]

[Slightly reduces casting time and slightly increases the power of magic]

I was a person whose emotions were so dry that I didn’t have tears.

“I’m really about to cry.”

I could only say it was crazy.

Every single piece of equipment was unbelievable. Beginner equipment set? It was called beginner equipment, but if you tried to buy them at a department store, each one would easily cost thousands. Moreover, you couldn’t buy them as you please just because you had money.

However, I didn’t know exactly what it meant to visualize the flow of mana with this monocle.

“Hmm… I don’t know what’s changed even if I try it on.”

On the outside, it was just a sleekly designed monocle.

However, considering that it was a rare grade like other equipment, it must be useful somewhere.

I could do the exact performance test later, so I decided to try opening the skill random acquisition ticket first.

[Would you like to use the skill random acquisition ticket?]

[Y/N]

[Y]

[First match completed]

[Skill random acquisition ticket grade increases]

…What?

[Mage job selected from beginner equipment set]

[Range narrowed to mage-specific skills]

[Processing…]

I was dazed by the sudden honey jam hidden camera-like situation for a while.

[Weakness Detection]

[Grade: Epic]

[Allows you to identify weaknesses]

I screamed so loud that the house would collapse at the screen that appeared in front of me.

Until the downstairs neighbor banged on the front door, complaining about the noise.
