Chapter 46: Just Friends

Han Min-ah’s profile suddenly appeared on the system without any warning.

It was the moment the profile of an acquaintance, someone familiar yet someone I no longer kept in touch with, appeared on my ‘Sexual Desire Management Hunter’ list, so naturally, I couldn’t help but feel quite flustered.

To briefly explain Han Min-ah, she’s one of the only two friends I have from the same middle school and high school.

…She’s also a friend who completely cut off contact with me for no reason right after graduation.

Her suddenly disappearing without a word and cutting contact with me was the first reason for my suspicion. The second was the question of how Han Min-ah, whom I have no memory of talking to or even contacting recently, became a hunter under my sexual desire management. And lastly, I couldn’t help but be astonished by the amount of estimated acquisition points she currently possessed.

‘200 points… Is that really a possible number?’

At first glance, I thought it was 20 points, not 200.

No matter how much sexual desire accumulated, the figure of 200 never seemed realistically possible.

Even when I saw Do Sihee’s score of 100, I thought it was an absurdly high amount. How could 200 possibly be a feasible number?

And then there was Han Min-ah herself, her awakened ability that she had never revealed to me before. There was just too much information to process on this single page.

『Awakened Ability: Power of the Wild (Species: Russian Blue)』

Fortunately, the knowledge I gained during my time at Hunter Training High School hadn’t completely disappeared somewhere, so just seeing the awakened ability called ‘Power of the Wild’ allowed me to roughly estimate Han Min-ah’s hunter potential to some extent.

To briefly explain the ‘Power of the Wild’ awakened ability, it was a type of ability where one could borrow an animal’s physical abilities or transform parts of their body into an animal’s to utilize them.

For example, if the target was a dolphin, one could generate fins to move quickly underwater, or significantly enhance their sense of balance underwater.

For birds like eagles, it was possible to transform arms into wings for flight, or change the lower body into hind legs to use talons for attacks, among other things.

…Honestly, among awakened abilities, it wasn’t one that could be called particularly promising.

Unlike typical awakened abilities that allow for constant growth through effort and self-development, the ‘Power of the Wild’ could only increase proficiency in using the abilities of the specific species.

Of course, the more familiar one became with using the enhanced physical abilities, more diverse and varied applications would become possible, but the fact that the species for her awakened ability was specifically a ‘Russian Blue’ made its limitations even more apparent.

‘It sounds grand, but it’s just a gray cat.’

Just a cat, with clear limitations in development and enhancement.

Of course, a cat’s muscle density is over four times that of a human, so compared to an average man, one could exert several times the force, and the characteristic agility and flexibility of a cat would also be possible in many ways, but even so, it was an ability with clear limitations as a hunter.

Perhaps, even utilizing the awakened ability to its fullest, the ceiling for hunter rank achievable would be around A-class at best.

Furthermore, hunters who used animal-based awakened abilities had a distinct weakness, almost common to them, which was none other than the existence of heat periods (estrus).

Unlike humans, for whom heat periods and non-heat periods don’t differ significantly, animals, during their designated heat periods, inevitably experience distress and stress if their sexual desire isn’t satisfied, and this applied to hunters who awakened animal transformation abilities as well.

In fact, during my school days, most of the students who actively tormented me from the beginning were girls who manifested animal-related awakened abilities. Fortunately, the school nurse during those days taught me a few ways to handle girls in heat, which helped me escape danger a few times.

‘Wait a minute. Then maybe this abnormally high point total, could it possibly be….’

If Han Min-ah was truly in heat, causing this level of estimated acquisition points, then this wasn’t the time to be hanging around the Hunter Guild reading other people’s profiles.

Considering the possibility of her losing control due to being in heat and attacking any available person, I had to meet Han Min-ah before any other man.

Not only did I not want to miss the opportunity to gain a massive amount of points, equivalent to 200+α, but I also wanted to remain her friend until the end, and I couldn’t stand by and watch her, whom I had drifted apart from, become a sexual offender. It was unthinkable.

On the outskirts of Seoul’s Gangdong District, in a semi-basement villa.

Within the 33-square-meter space, where only the dim light from a half-sized window seeped in, a woman’s pained moans and breaths had been repeating for hours.

“Hagyaa, ha, hagaaaak…!”

Having already reached over a hundred incomplete orgasms, Han Min-ah let out a choked, pained moan, her body, significantly heated, was already far past the point of being able to calm down on her own.

-Rub-rub, squirt-squirt.

“Please… Please calm down… Pleeeease…!”

Yelling at her own body that wouldn’t cooperate, or crying and begging, Han Min-ah’s body, already fully in heat, would never compromise with half-hearted pleasure.

To calm herself down, it seemed to be saying, ‘Hurry and bring the man who made this body go into heat,’ returning even more intense yet unresolvable stimulation only to the body’s owner.

As a result, for nearly twelve hours, following yesterday, she had been writhing in similar sensations, and her mental strength had reached its limit.

Starting to masturbate in an attempt to quell the pleasure herself had been the worst possible judgment.

Even when she rubbed her own breasts or pinched her nipples.

Even when reaching climax by just fiddling with her clitoris with both hands.

Even when inserting fingers through her slightly torn hymen to stimulate her inner body.

What always returned in the end was an incomplete climax where the pleasure wasn’t fully resolved, and as this process piled up, Han Min-ah’s body was filling with a desire that an ordinary person couldn’t endure.

Han Min-ah’s body had become like a balloon filled with sexual desire, seemingly ready to burst at the slightest touch.

If only she could burst it satisfactorily just once, all the accumulated sexual desire might wash away.

No matter how much she pleaded, she could never reach that one satisfying release, making her feel truly driven mad.

-Squirt!

“Hyaaaak! Ha, hu….”

The masturbation she started to relieve herself only made her body hotter, relentlessly pressing down on her with the pressure of pleasure.

After a brief moment of bearable relief from momentary pleasure, the cycle of desire returning again and again only worsened her condition.

She should have gotten a prescription for estrus suppressants yesterday when her condition was even slightly better.

She regretted not hesitating to pay the expensive price for the additional estrus suppressants, which weren’t covered by insurance.

However, it was too late for regrets; Han Min-ah’s body had reached a state where initial measures were impossible. Overnight, her body had become beyond the control of estrus suppressants.

Han Min-ah was experiencing firsthand the saying that poverty accrues interest.

-Squirt. Squirt.

“Haaa, hu…. Huu….”

Han Min-ah felt her right finger inside her vagina while vigorously twisting and rubbing her clitoris with her other hand.

She was aware in her mind that these actions weren’t helping her condition at all, but she had already passed the point of no return, unable to stop herself.

“Hhheut, hya, hyaaaak…!”

Once again, Han Min-ah let out a beastly cry, surrendering her body to the brief pleasure of orgasm.

“N-now, please stop… I’m begging you, please…”

Immediately after, overwhelmed by the greater pleasure that followed and her body’s refusal to calm down, she buried her face in the blanket.

To resolve Han Min-ah’s body, which had heated up far beyond its limits, there was now only one way: having relations with the man who caused this heat was her only salvation.

“Is that really the only way now….”

Of course, she knew her own abilities best, so she had already realized since yesterday that it was the easiest solution.

Sung Taekyung’s large cock scraping inside her belly, which she glimpsed in the forest.

His rough hands that caressed her head and body stimulating her private parts.

She had already imagined it several times: his semen, full of a potent male scent enough to make her mind go blank, ejaculating inside her body.

“No, I can’t… I really can’t….”

But that would be like asking her best friend, Kang Hye-eun, to lend her boyfriend for a day.

The last shred of reason left in Han Min-ah’s mind kept telling her that was a line she couldn’t cross, so she was simply being crushed under the weight of accumulated sexual desire for over 20 hours.

Even though what she witnessed was him being intimate with another woman while her friend was around, that scene didn’t mean she could also cheat with him and betray Kang Hye-eun.

Besides, having attended the same middle and high school, she had witnessed countless times the bullying Sung Taekyung endured from girls his age.

When classmates with animal-based abilities used ‘instinct’ as an excuse to sexually harass Sung Taekyung, she had felt angry, and as his old friend, she couldn’t bring herself to do something similar to him.

“Gyahh… Kahk…!”

Even so, the accumulated pleasure had long surpassed the limits of her physical body.

The agony, making it difficult even to maintain her remaining reason, was consuming her body every moment, so if she lost consciousness and fell asleep like this, she had no idea what her overheated body might do. It was completely unpredictable.

If things went wrong, she could end up being the subject of news articles about ‘serial rape-driven offenders,’ like those sometimes seen on TV or in newspapers.

She couldn’t become a criminal and be dragged away, leaving her two younger sisters who depended on her.

Finally, after much internal conflict, Han Min-ah brought up Sung Taekyung’s phone number, still saved on her phone, onto the screen, and hesitated, her finger hovering over the call button just before pressing it, several times.

“Hye-eun-ah, I’m sorry… Sung Taekyung, please just once… Really, just one time…”

‘It’s okay if I’m never forgiven.’

‘I can’t help it if people call me a rapist and despise me for the rest of my life.’

Just as she was about to place her finger on the call button, praying to be saved from this agonizing purgatory of pleasure.

“…Huh?”

For some reason, a sweet scent, guided by instinct, flowed into her highly sensitive nose. She could feel it.

-Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff.

“…”

Entering deep into her lungs, a once-familiar scent.

As the sweet scent grew closer, Han Min-ah’s heart began to beat much faster than ever before.

“Did I… Did I press the call button…?”

A distinctly richer and deeper male scent compared to any other man.

It was unmistakably the scent of Sung Taekyung, her old friend and first love.

Moreover, her body couldn’t possibly mistake that scent, which she had smelled just a day ago, and her heart pounded in sync with the intensifying aroma.

“…”

He’s nearby.

He’s definitely nearby.

Her body, overheated for hours and drenched in sweat.

Her clothes disheveled from being engrossed in masturbation until just moments ago.

As if none of those things were any hindrance, Han Min-ah rose from the blanket as if possessed, and slowly moved towards the entrance, following the scent wafting through the air.

“Haa, haa, haa….”

She didn’t even know how she would start the conversation if they really met.

She couldn’t possibly shamelessly blurt out, ‘You made me horny, so take responsibility.’

For now, she was just moving her feet according to her body’s instincts.

The moment she opened the front door, drawn by the increasingly close scent of the male.

-Click.

“It’s been a while, Han Min-ah.”

“…”

Overwhelmed by the intense male scent right in front of her, Han Min-ah completely lost her remaining reason, and her memory ended right there.
