Chapter 39: What Feels Good?

“Are you telling me to take off my clothes? You don’t mean naked, do you?”

Shin Seom-hwa wore a slightly wary expression.

She seemed reluctant, having just become conscious of her wet vagina.

“You don’t have to be naked, but if possible, the less clothing area, the better. Underwear is fine too.”

I wanted to squeeze those ample breasts right now, but…

…sexy underwear is a turn-on in its own right, so it doesn’t matter.

“Don’t people usually take off all their clothes when they get a massage?”

“I’ve never had one, so I don’t really know……”

“Either way, it’s definitely more efficient. It can save time too.”

“I’m already embarrassed to death……”

Shin Seom-hwa tried to pull down her white t-shirt to cover her stomach.

Though that only made her breasts stand out more, looking far sexier.

‘She’s already wet anyway, so she must be wondering whether to cross the line completely or just go with this.’

Shin Seom-hwa, who was called the ‘Ice Beauty’ in society, was usually so haughty.

She wouldn’t show even her underwear, let alone her naked body, under normal circumstances.

But she was just as embarrassed in her current state.

So, she might think it’s better to just get it over with quickly.

‘It’s all bullshit anyway.’

Of course, in reality, whether she wore clothes or not made no difference.

The massage itself was a lie to begin with.

I just said it because I wanted to see Shin Seom-hwa’s breasts and hips.

‘She already has breasts like that; if she took it all off, it would be incredible.’

Seeing she was still contemplating, I casually threw out a lure.

“Or how about a swimsuit?”

“A swimsuit is okay too?”

“Reducing the fabric area is the key. A bikini would have a similar effect.”

From my perspective, underwear or a swimsuit, it was all the same.

It was just a matter of whether she got wet from the inside or the outside.

But to Shin Seom-hwa, who was agonizing over her underwear, it probably sounded tempting.

“Of course, your current state is fine too. But please expect to receive the treatment 3 or 4 more times than if you were completely undressed.”

“Four times, you say……”

Shin Seom-hwa subtly glanced at the crotch of her dolphin shorts.

Thanks to the stain that had formed in the middle, her thoroughly wet vagina was clearly visible.

“I, I’ll think about it for now.”

“Yes, it’s treatment anyway, so please relax.”

I said that, but I was certain.

Shin Seom-hwa would soon strip completely in front of me.

---

“It’s good that hunting is going well.”

I muttered, looking at the Horned Rabbit in my hand.

With Shin Seom-hwa’s arrival, food consumption had become faster than before.

But it wasn’t a major problem.

Because hunting was going smoothly enough to compensate for it.

‘With Shin Seom-hwa here, there’s no shortage of hands.’

Now that we were three people, we basically divided the roles.

Hilde, with her good basic eyesight and quickness, handled fish capture and mushroom gathering.

Shin Seom-hwa, still lacking abilities and weak, gathered greens and fruits nearby and did odd jobs.

And I, who had recently grown much stronger and, most importantly, had an inventory, retrieved the prey caught in traps.

‘Thanks to that, working has become much easier.’

Until now, I had to do every task myself, so I had no breathing room.

But just having one more person significantly reduced the work I had to do.

Thanks to that, I’ve recently been making various items and weapons.

Especially, the Horned Rabbit’s horns are hard, so I’m thinking of making spears out of them.

“It’s dangerous to go too far, so maybe I should head back.”

Even so, the only places I could operate alone were near the relatively safe base.

Besides, hunting has been going so well lately that there’s no need to go far.

We even still have leftover wolf meat from before.

Rustle.

A sudden ominous feeling made me stop in my tracks.

‘Is it an Ancient Wolf?’

Perhaps it was because I was thinking of going to eat wolf meat.

It seemed like an Ancient Wolf had descended to avenge its comrade.

Perhaps thanks to my senses becoming sharper since coming to the uninhabited island, I could clearly sense such blatant hostility.

‘Is it seriously seeing me as prey, despite being alone?’

If it had come in a pack, I would have noticed it long before it reached this distance.

“I didn’t expect it to come this far. I should tell the Team Leader to be careful.”

I muttered and took out the ‘Knife That Returns On Its Own,’ commonly known as Adol.

It had long since become my exclusive weapon.

Perhaps because of that, it fit perfectly in my hand.

‘It’s the same method I used last time, but beasts are beasts because they repeat the same mistakes.’

I stood still for a moment, then suddenly threw Adol into the bushes.

I wasn’t sure if the beast was there.

But it didn’t matter.

Hitting it wasn’t the objective in the first place.

“Krarara!”

An Ancient Wolf burst out from the bushes next to me.

With a single leap, it charged straight at me.

It opened its maw wide, seemingly intending to bite my neck in one go.

‘Predictable.’

I took out the log I had stored in my inventory.

Its head slammed into the object that suddenly appeared in mid-air with a dull thud.

The stunned beast tumbled across the ground.

“Kkiiing!”

Blood splattered, as if it had hit face-first.

It was a makeshift shield, but it definitely worked.

Since I didn’t swing it myself, the power was just so-so.

The important thing was that it landed a critical blow on the opponent.

‘Finish it quickly.’

A slight wound and barely a second’s delay.

But it was enough to kill a wolf.

‘Return!’

At my command, Adol flew back into my hand as if pulled by a magnet.

I then brought the knife down with all my might.

Kwajik!

Its head was pierced clean through, and the Ancient Wolf met its end.

【You have defeated an Ancient Wolf!】

【You have gained experience points!】

【Your level has increased!】

“Oh, I leveled up again?”

I leveled up just by defeating one monster.

It seemed like the previous Ancient Wolf I defeated was counted as well.

As expected, leveling up is easy when you’re still low-level.

I immediately opened my status window.

▶Status Window

Name: Kim Jinwoo

Level: 5

Strength: 20

Agility: 2

Stamina: 2

Magic Power: 2

Potency: 2

(Stat Points: 5)

Traits: Golden Finger (A), Tool Crafting (E), Dismantle (F), Axe Mastery (E)

Skills: Gacha, Appraisal, Telekinesis

Stat points came in as my level increased.

But for some reason, all stats increased by 1.

【You have reached Level 5!】

【Congratulations! You have adapted splendidly to the status window!】

【Starting from Level 5, all stats will increase by an additional 1 point upon leveling up!】

As if answering my question, message windows popped up consecutively.

‘Stats increase automatically?’

Until now, any stat I didn’t raise myself was fixed at 1.

But from now on, all stats would increase by 1 each time.

“Since you get 5 stat points per level-up, does that mean my overall growth rate effectively doubles?”

I was already seeing tremendous effects just from the Strength I’d raised.

There was a possibility of growing at an unstoppable pace.

【Strength has reached 20!】

【A trait will be unlocked as Strength reaches a certain level!】

【Trait ‘Physical Enhancement’ has been created!】

▶Physical Enhancement (E)

Category: Normal Trait

Description: Through steady growth, your Strength has reached a certain level! You will receive bonuses in all strength-related tasks, and your physical abilities will improve overall! Physical changes may also occur as a result!

I was almost overwhelmed by the continuous stream of additional information.

“Setting aside the trait, what about these physical changes?”

I took off my clothes to check.

Overall, my muscles had increased, and my abs and limbs had become firmer.

My body had visibly improved.

“Did I maybe grow a bit taller too?”

I never thought the status window would affect my body, not just my abilities.

It was worth going all-in on one stat.

This was an outcome beyond my expectations.

‘Perhaps other stats might have similar effects.’

Until now, I had focused solely on Strength for the convenience it offered in work.

It seemed like it might be okay to start raising other stats soon.

‘Then it should be Agility, of course.’

Anyway, stats would increase automatically upon leveling up.

If I had to choose, I decided to pick something that would directly help in combat.

▶Status Window

Name: Kim Jinwoo

Level: 5

Strength: 20

Agility: 7

Stamina: 2

Magic Power: 2

Potency: 2

(Stat Points: 0)

Traits: Golden Finger (A), Tool Crafting (E), Dismantle (F), Axe Mastery (E), Physical Enhancement (E)

Skills: Gacha, Appraisal, Telekinesis

If I leveled up just 3 more times, I could reach 20 Agility.

Anticipating what trait might appear then, I put the Ancient Wolf’s corpse into my inventory.

While Jinwoo went off to find prey, Shin Seom-hwa and Hilde prepared the meal together.

Roasted wolf meat, fish, mushrooms, greens, and a few berries.

Considering the situation on the uninhabited island, it was quite a luxurious spread.

‘They must have put in tremendous effort to stabilize our lives to this point.’

The longer I stayed, the more I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was just a burden.

No matter how hard I tried to learn, there was still a gap compared to Hilde.

The more this was the case, the stronger my desire for abilities grew.

‘Still, wouldn’t receiving a massage in a swimsuit be dangerous?’

Even with clothes on, the massage had left my body in disarray.

My top was drenched in sweat, revealing my breasts,

and my vagina was wetter than it had ever been in my life.

‘Sigh, and the dolphin shorts were gray, of all colors, making the embarrassing sight even more obvious.’

To receive such exquisite touch on my bare skin…

I wondered if my body could handle it.

Jinwoo had said it was a natural physiological response and that Hilde had experienced it too.

‘…Does that mean Hilde-ssi also received a massage?’

Then again, they had sex every day, so this much probably meant nothing to her.

The fluttering in my chest intensified slightly.

I glanced sideways at Hilde, who was sitting next to me.

She was meticulously maintaining her weapon, a spear, with an affectionate expression.

She was beautiful even to another woman.

And with her outstanding abilities, I understood why Jinwoo entrusted his best weapon to Hilde, a woman.

“Is something wrong?”

Hilde suddenly looked up.

Shin Seom-hwa hesitated for a moment before asking directly.

“Um, Hilde-ssi, what part of Jinwoo did you like that made you start dating him?”

“We’re not dating?”

Shin Seom-hwa was taken aback by Hilde’s casual reply.

They had sex like that, but they weren’t dating?

“Then… even though you’re not dating. You do that… every day?”

“Because I am Master’s slave. Hmm… translated into modern terms, perhaps a fuck buddy?”

The term ‘fuck buddy’ made my face flush for no reason.

It was even more so because the other person said it so casually.

Trying not to show it due to her pride, Shin Seom-hwa continued her questions.

“Either way, you like Jinwoo, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Hilde replied with a bright smile.

Her sincerity, without a trace of doubt, made me feel a little envious.

“Then what parts of Jinwoo do you like?”

I didn’t know how I ended up asking this question.

But the fluttering in my heart made my tongue move on its own.

“There are many things… but first, his face.”

A rather materialistic answer came out, more than I expected.

But I could understand it.

Jinwoo was quite handsome even in society.

He had a few female colleagues who liked him, and he might have dated them if he had the chance.

‘Maybe it’s because of living on the island, but his body has gotten quite good too.’

Of course, Hilde was also a considerable beauty, but…

Considering the peculiarity of being on an uninhabited island, it was quite understandable.

“And then, perhaps, his size.”

Hilde made a circle with her hand and then poked it repeatedly with her index finger.

At those explicit words and gestures, Shin Seom-hwa’s face turned bright red this time for sure.

“Y-your, the size there?”

“Master’s penis is perfect in size, hardness, and length. It feels like it fills me up completely.”

Hilde touched her cheek with one hand as if entranced just by speaking.

The vulgar words coming from her elegant face were unbalanced, but…

Any man would likely fall for that seductive aura.

What on earth could make a woman like her fall so hard?

Was it that good?

“Um… is Jinwoo… that good?”

“Master’s technique is the best. He can melt a body with just foreplay, not even his penis. Any woman who experiences his sex would inevitably fall for him.”

Shin Seom-hwa recalled the massage she received from Jinwoo.

The gentle, exquisite touch that couldn’t compare to her own masturbation.

It was enough to make her almost climax without even touching her sensitive areas.

‘It’s not… strange to feel this way?’

I had even wondered if my body was lewd.

And that’s normal?

“Is it normal to feel good when touched?”

“If Master is the one touching you, I think so.”

An unwavering answer, as if stating a universal truth.

At those words, Shin Seom-hwa fell into thought for a moment.

In society, she would have denied it, calling it nonsense.

Even if it were true, her pride wouldn’t allow her to permit ‘such things’.

But the desire for abilities, Hilde’s assertion comparing herself to me, and above all, the hazy pleasure she felt yesterday…

These factors combined kept making excuses for violating common sense.

‘Right, this is treatment.’

---

That evening.

As I was preparing for the massage, I inwardly whistled at the sight of Shin Seom-hwa appearing.

“Team Leader, are you okay?”

“Uh, yeah. This is treatment, and sweating is a physiological response, right?”

Even as she said that, Shin Seom-hwa nervously twisted her thighs, covering her breasts and vagina as if embarrassed.

She was wearing black lace underwear.
