Chapter Title: Three A-grade Magic Stones
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm on the day my mom and dad come over.
I treated them to beef.
"Jik bought this beef with his own money. Mom's so happy!"
"I'll buy lots more from now on."
"You're going into dungeons?"
"Yeah. Just as a porter, but I'm good at threading the needle, so I make good money."
"...."
It's been a while since the whole family of four sat together grilling meat at home.
Kang Hana was perceptive enough not to rib me about being an SS-rank hunter's lackey.
Instead, she worried in her own uncharacteristic way.
"Don't push yourself when you can't even make that much."
"I make more than you."
"Hmph. You only earn when Hyeji goes out anyway."
"Kids, no fighting. Eat your meat."
Of course, as expected.
Her sharp glare was ready to strike at any moment.
But what I said wasn't entirely wrong.
Sure, Kang Hana made good money, but she was just a B-rank hunter.
Her daily pay wasn't hitting 2 million won.
Instead, since she had scouting skills, she dungeon-hopped everywhere, earning frequently, so her total take was pretty decent.
For me, without Im Hyeji's jobs, I was jobless, so each gig was all I had.
"That was good, son."
"Yeah. Porter or whatever, work hard."
Mom and Dad cheered on my dungeon debut in their own ways.
I waddled straight to bed with my full belly, and Kang Hana followed me in.
"What?"
"What do you mean? We need to talk about what we couldn't before."
"About what?"
".....With Hyeji. What's going on?"
"Huh?"
Arms crossed, glancing sideways—she didn't seem angry, but something felt off.
Like I was being interrogated.
"What's what?"
"When did you two get so close? I saw you in the dungeon, stuck together having a blast."
"Of course. Gotta keep the boss happy when she pays 2 mil a day."
"That's not it!"
"...What's with you? Wife possession again?"
"What wife! That's ridiculous. Seriously."
Kang Hana yelled, then scowled.
"Don't get cocky in there. Anything can happen in a dungeon. Don't pick fights with the hunters, got it? Even if... that pervert started it. Don't put yourself in danger, bro."
"Aw, worrying about your little brother. Thanks."
"....You haven't been meeting Hyeji outside lately, right?"
"...."
Her sudden ambush caught me off guard.
I glanced away.
Not a knowing look, though.
"She said she's interested in me?"
"Crazy? I told you not to mess around for real. Hyeji's SS-rank now, essential to our guild."
"Got it. Out."
I clicked my tongue watching her glare and leave.
"She used to be such a sweet girl, all 'big bro this, big bro that.'"
When did it start?
Puberty, when she realized we were half-siblings?
Or when I holed up in my room, cut off from the world?
Whatever. Not a big deal.
No time to waste on that nonsense anyway.
"Ha. Where to spend these 22P to make waves."
P from trading B-grade stones.
Scraped from sex, plus leftovers—now I had to invest another 22P.
This was the real dilemma.
Too many options meant choice paralysis, so caution was key.
Especially with the Mars Raid days away.
As I pondered, a DM from Im Hyeji popped up.
Big bro, can you come for lunch tomorrow? Got the magic stones.
OK, heading right over.
"Nice. She actually got them? Contract must've gone smooth."
It was half a joke.
Contracts aren't magic wands.
But Im Hyeji pulled it off.
Wonder how much advance she got.
But I could only get 3 magic stones ㅠㅠ Asking for more felt awkward...
Can't be helped. Better 3 than pushing and getting stiffed. Good job.
I almost asked, but her follow-up stopped me.
Reality's harsh.
B-grades at 700 mil each—three make 2.1 bil.
Binding an SS-rank for two years? Seemed cheap even.
Or maybe they lowballed her for being young and green.
Hunters don't need big advances anyway—dungeon earnings vary wildly by rank.
That thought shattered the next day.
At Im Hyeji's place for lunch.
A-grade Magic Stone
* A magic stone containing pure, dense, deep mana.
"What... is this?"
"Four felt too pushy..."
"....."
Not B-grade, but A-grade three? Yeah, that'd be awkward to ask for more.
@
Lustrous.
Fist-sized A-grade stones sat on the table, three of them.
"Isn't it risky leaving them out like this?"
Each worth 7 bil? Nah, that was junk A-grade price.
I scoured Hunter Gallery last night.
Title: Magic Stone Prices Fuck!!!! Should've Bought When Low
Fuck magic stones fuck magic stone coin!!!!!!! Should've bought at last year's low!!!!!!!!! Should've when it broke high last month!!!!!! Saw the price 30 min ago, cursed while posting, should've bought then!!!!!!
lololololol
Keeps rising^^
Don't compare that old fart Uptcoin. Magic stones never hit a low since launch^^
Comparing that scam-ass bitcoin to magic stones? lololol
Top stones hit new lows daily lol High-end market's updating mins every day ㅋㅋ
A-grade low was 7 bil a few days ago, now 8 bil. US and China scooping 'em up.
So these A-grades? At least 8 bil each. Three? Over 25 bil cash.
"What's an SS-rank really worth?"
"They offered more, but I turned it down. Didn't want the pressure."
Im Hyeji shrugged, proud.
She earned it.
Two-year contract. Not slavery—just guild activity for over 25 bil?
Makes sense.
Even in games I watched, top players pulled tens to hundreds of bil.
Soccer? Weekly in the bil range.
In a dungeon world minting money, peak hunters might even be underpaid.
"Holed up so long, my sense of money's trashed."
Lesson learned.
Prime intel for when I snag her SSS skill and register as hunter later.
"Really okay to absorb all these?"
"Yeah. No use for me anyway."
....No use?
Sell 'em and coast forever.
One'd let me rot in my room, Hunter Gallery and YouTube for life.
"Tasty."
Of course, post-SSS sperm? Nah, I'd never.
Portering with Hyeji proves it.
Wuong.
Hand on A-grade stone—resonates lightly.
How much P? What effects?
Paaaaht!!!
Light bursts, mana floods into my hand.
"Whoa."
First-time viewer Im Hyeji gasped beside me.
No time to react.
A heavy, intense wave dwarfed B-grade, surging through my veins, ravaging my body.
"Wow...."
Dizzying coolness, freshness, weight—swept clean through me, straight to the balls again.
Body felt light.
"Insane."
Like veins power-washed.
I could do anything.
And it wasn't just a feeling.
[Absorbed A-grade Magic Stone.]
[Body adapting to absorb dense mana.]
[Stamina risen to D-rank.]
[Magic Power risen to D-rank.]
[Vitality risen to C-rank.]
[SSS-grade Sperm supplied with premium nutrients.]
[Massive P generated for SSS-grade Sperm growth.]
['Mana Pouch' level risen to 2.]
[Next SSS-grade Sperm ejection grants special effects to pregnancy, birth, skill growth, etc.]
Messages flooded faster than I could read.
One thing clear: A-grade dense mana boosted even my trash stats massively.
A whopping 50P.
Cost-performance? Still trash.
P per stone? Multiple B-grades better.
But not just about P.
"Big bro..."
Im Hyeji stared, shocked at my mana-charged, throbbing erection.
A-grade mana effect?
Vitality to C-rank?
Either way, massive change.
For me. For her.
"Pussy right up. Today, I'm wrecking you."
One of three A-grades down.
To unleash my bursting balls, I stripped Im Hyeji.
