Chapter 44: Chapter 14 : Conquest and Capture (3) 

After finishing our intimate time together, we each returned to our own homes. Sua left first, saying she had work at the office, while Sunhwa and I walked hand in hand, enjoying a few more laps around the neighborhood before parting ways. 

"It's about time for Minji to get home." 

After checking the time on her phone, Sunhwa glanced around and gave me a light kiss on the cheek before heading home. The scent of her lingered where her lips had touched. 

As I smiled and touched my cheek, a message window appeared before my eyes. 

[System: Settlement for conquered targets has been completed! Skill information and stats have been updated.] 

[System: It is recommended to check these before proceeding with new conquests.] 

When the system makes a recommendation, it’s usually best to follow it. Since the settlement was complete, it was likely that Sunhwa’s skills had also been updated. Now that I’d decided to build a harem and chosen a curriculum to match, I didn’t expect any obstacles to my plans, but it’s always good to be informed. 

"Whew..." 

I boarded the bus home, slumped into the back seat, and pretended to check my phone while actually opening my status window. 

'Check Status' 

[System: Displaying instructor 'Kim Sehyun’s' status. Many updates have accumulated due to long-term inactivity. Please review all information.] 

[General Stats] 

Stamina: 67. "You have high stamina due to external influences. Grows with skill usage." 

Intelligence: 66. "Very high intelligence. Outstanding academic achievement for the effort put in. Regular stress relief has slightly increased intelligence." 

Luck: ?. "The system is perplexed by your complex luck. Conclusion pending." 

Health: 60. "Extremely low chance of serious illness over your lifetime." 

[Job-Related Stats] 

Virility: 68. "High virility due to stamina and health. 1st cap release quest is upcoming." 

Charm: 68. "Very high charm. Among the top three people you meet in daily life. 1st cap release quest is upcoming." 

Technique: 45(66). "Through ongoing sexual relationships, you have learned precise conquest methods for certain individuals. Still lacking for others." 

[Special Stats] 

Yang Energy: 180. "Continuous skill use circulates yang energy smoothly." 

Would you like to allocate stat points? (Available points: 35) 

[Skills] 

'Harmony of Yin and Yang (Lv. 4)': Creates the 'Yang Energy' stat. You can recover yang energy through relationships with conquered targets. Recovery increases with affection and conquest. 

'Pheromone (Lv. 2)': Consumes 9 yang per minute. Excites conquest targets within 5 meters. Effect and range increase with charm, affection, and conquest. Stronger for conquered targets. 

'Climax Restraint (Lv. 1)': Consumes 100 yang per use. 30% chance to restrain a target’s climax for 30 minutes. Success rate adjusted by luck stat. Always succeeds on conquered targets. 

There were no dramatic changes to my skills or stats. With 35 unused stat points, I could restore health if a conquest failed. That was a relief. 

I scrolled through the remaining messages: 

[System: 'Virility' stat has reached its first cap. A cap release quest is likely soon.] 

[System: 'Charm' stat has reached its first cap. Cap release quest cannot be accepted due to unmet conditions.] 

So I could proceed with the virility quest, but not the charm one. No further explanation was available. Raising charm isn’t just about looking good it’s important for smoother conquests and skill effectiveness. 

'Whatever.' 

At least I could proceed with the virility quest. If that was blocked too, I’d feel like my growth was stunted. 

The rest of the messages were mostly new titles: 

[System: Title 'Butt Master' acquired. Positive bonus for 'spanking' conquests.] 

[System: Title 'Master of Females' acquired. During 'night stroll play' after sunset, you temporarily gain: 

Detection of ordinary people within 10m. 

Recommended optimal stroll routes. 

Detection of others engaged in 'stroll play'.] 

[System: Title 'Second Penetration' acquired. Positive bonus for 'anal' conquests. Slightly reduces pain for the partner.] 

[System: You have purchased birth control 50 times! Despite the pharmacist’s objections, you are awarded the following title! 

'Today is a Safe Day!': You can check a partner’s fertile window. Displays pregnancy probability for internal ejaculation. 

The pharmacist sheds tears as you receive the title! Higher titles will update this info in the future.] 

Nice. While most titles were expected, the last one was a surprise. I don’t know where this “pharmacist” is, but I must have spent a lot of points there. At least now I don’t have to keep track of birth control timing with Sua or Sunhwa, and I can use points for other items. This will make time with them even better, and there are plenty of items in the shop to explore. 

Time to check Sua and Sunhwa’s abilities. 

Profile: Han Sua 

Name: Han Sua 

Age: 40 

Occupation: Shopping Mall CEO 

Family: Divorced, daughter (20) 

Sexual Preferences: Masochist, devotion, internal ejaculation, maternal play, XXX... 

Erogenous Zones: Forcchio, throat, breasts, nipples, kissing, affection, XXX... 

Affection: 78 (1st cap released) 

Conquest: 78 

Experience: 2 

Status: Exclusive female, she-cat, benevolence, devotion, affection, longing, possessiveness 

Skills 

'Maternal Recovery': When the possessor’s maternal instincts are expressed toward a specific person, both recover more quickly. Provides various other positive effects. Now fully grown and ready for a career path choice. 

'Secret Love': Pleasure increases in proportion to the possessor’s affection during intimacy. 

'Legal Wife': She is instructor Kim Sehyun’s legal wife. Gains overwhelming status over women of lower rank. 

'Queen (New!)': Acquired by assisting with Kim Sehyun’s second conquest. When stimulating a conquest target’s erogenous zones with Kim Sehyun’s permission, gains positive effects. Also shares some sexual preferences and erogenous zones with lower-ranked conquest targets. 

Sua gained a new skill 'Queen' likely from the recent conquest involving Sunhwa. While it may have started with spanking Sunhwa, it now also includes her devoted assistance during exposure play. The possessiveness in her status probably means she wants to be first in every play, even if she allows other women. 

That’s something I can accommodate. If the legal wife allows other partners, it’s only fair to let her have first pick of new experiences. 

This 'Queen' skill should make it easier to naturally encounter Jiye, the next target. Smiling, I turned my attention to Sunhwa’s profile.
