[New items available in the shop.]
Status windows appearing in cascades before my eyes.
I waved my hand to clear all the status windows, then collapsed onto the bed with a thud.
"This isn't a dream."
Staring blankly at the ceiling, I recalled everything that had happened in that parallel world that felt like a fantasy. The Demon World and Demon King's Castle, various plays with demon women, and the audience with the Demon King.
Though I'd worked as a hunter and killed many demons at various gates, I'd never experienced anything like this parallel world transfer.
Gates were just temporary passages between worlds. They were merely corridors, not the parallel worlds themselves.
I picked up my phone and opened the app, scrolling through the list of parallel worlds.
Besides the Demon World with the Demon King's Castle, there were various kingdoms and empires like fantasy continents, underwater terrain and flooded areas.
There were also modernized city worlds similar to reality, or sci-fi space settings and near-future dystopias.
If this is truly a parallel world as Yuria explained, that's fine. These are just probabilistic worlds that don't exist yet, separate from reality.
But what if this is connected to our current world? What if the gates appearing in reality are actually passages to these worlds?
'This is getting complicated…'
Maybe this isn't just an app for having sex, but something incredible that connects worlds.
Everything I experienced at the Demon King's Castle felt so real that these thoughts kept coming. After organizing my thoughts, I called up my status window.
"Status window."

Dick Compass Points: 200,000
The sensitivity developments that increased from clearing the parallel world. Though not particularly pleasant, I'll set that aside for now. The important thing is the Dick Compass points.
I got way more points than when clearing the tutorial, so let's use these.
But first.
'I'm hungry…'
Unlike my body in the parallel world, my real body has been starving for days. Let's order delivery first.
After ordering a few lunch boxes, I opened the app to check the shop.
The shop's item list had all sorts of embarrassing items, but I scrolled past them and selected Polymorph at the very bottom.
[Polymorph] – Use points to return to your original body. [Cost: 1 point per second.]
I definitely returned to my original body briefly before with 100 points. 100 points meant less than 2 minutes.
Applying that to 200,000 points…
'Just under 56 hours.'
3,600 points per hour. With continuous use, I can return to my original self for about 2 days and some hours.
Not bad. Though normal social activities would be impossible, it's enough time to go out briefly and take care of necessary business.
At this rate, I made the right choice taking the risk of going to the most difficult parallel world from the start.
By the way. Where did Yuria go? She was fluttering around earlier but now she's nowhere to be found when I need her.
"Yuria?"
[Mmm…]
"Hey."
Looking toward the sound, I found Yuria lying at my bedside. She startled awake with a jump.
[Ah. You're back?]
"Of course. Obviously I'd come back. Who do you think I am?"
I'm Lee Yeon, Korea's #1 ranked hunter after all. No quest is impossible for me, even in this shota body.
…Though in reality I just got fucked.
[Sorry sorry. I couldn't follow you into the parallel world you chose. It was the highest difficulty after all.]
"Hmm. Is that so."
Actually thinking about it, Yuria not coming along might not be so bad. It feels weird having someone watch me getting thoroughly fucked.
Maybe this is better. Yeah. I should tell her not to come from now on. Having someone in the real world who knows my shame won't do any good.
Now that I've easily cleared even the highest difficulty Demon King's Castle, I probably don't need Yuria's support anyway.
"You don't need to come along anymore. I can handle everything myself."
[Really? That's helpful for me then. Less work~ Still, I'll tag along if I think it's necessary based on my judgment.]
"…Do what you think is best"
Still, just in case. Well. Let's keep this much of a safety net.
Ding- Dong-
Perfect timing for the delivery. I filled my empty stomach while recalling the taste of the food from the Demon King's Castle.
*
The next day.
I temporarily returned to my original body using points. The app notification shows remaining points and usage time, so there shouldn't be any accidents like suddenly reverting.
Today's destination is the Hunter Association. Though I already told Yoon Joo-young, this time I need to formally submit a leave request at the desk and declare activity suspension.
My ranking will drop somewhat during this time, but it's better to resume activities after completely resolving this situation.
Even though I can temporarily return to my original body using points, there are still risks.
Vroom-
The limousine stopped smoothly.
The driver opened the back door, and I stepped out of the limo and entered the Hunter Association building.
Click- Click-
Countless reporters already gathered in front of the building. I entered the building under a barrage of camera flashes.
"Welcome, Mr. Yeon."
Various Association figures had come out to greet me upon hearing of my arrival.
"Yeah."
"We heard from the Association President. That you're having health issues affecting your hunting."
"That's right. I've come to formally declare suspension of activities."
"!"
Even though I'm a solo hunter, the #1 ranked hunter stopping activities and disappearing is a huge loss for both the Association and Korea. Looking at the bigger picture, it could even lower national competitiveness.
But what can I do? My body's like this. And thinking about what happened in the parallel world, not just my body but my mind doesn't seem right either.
To act that way even though my body just got younger. They say the mind is influenced by the body, but thinking about those embarrassing events makes me feel like I can't show my face in public.
Anyway, I'm in a state needing recovery right now.
"Sigh."
After letting out a small sigh, I headed toward the desk. The receptionist showed confusion and made a call to someone.
That's when.
Click-
"Mr. Yeon? You're here."
A face both familiar and tiresome to me. Sword Ghost Yoon Joo-young. Perhaps due to the many eyes watching, she spoke formally to me unlike before.
I too, rather than being prickly, spoke as calmly as possible while suppressing my emotions.
"Yeah."
"Instead of standing here, shall we talk inside?"
She pointed toward the elevator, inviting me to her office.
"…"
Though having a private meeting with Joo-young is scary, my leave request won't be approved without her signature.
Rather than disappearing arbitrarily, resolving this through dialogue might be better.
"Fine. Lead the way."
*
The capital of Korea, the center of Seoul. The Hunter Association newly built next to the Eye of Sauron. The view of Seoul spread out below was impressive as always.
Whirr-
Arriving at her office, Joo-young got coffee from the machine and handed it to me.
I sniffed it suspiciously for anything strange before taking a sip. My current body has poison resistance anyway so I can handle some amount.
Plop-
Joo-young collapsed onto the sofa across from me. The dark circles under her eyes suggested she was still struggling with heavy workload.
"Ugh. I'm dying, fuck."
She leaned back on the sofa and tilted her head back to stare at the ceiling.
With her head tilted back, her chest and breasts jutted forward. Her considerable breasts for a prosecutor swayed beneath her white blouse.
"Ahem."
I cleared my throat unnecessarily and looked away. But my eyes couldn't resist desire and secretly glanced back toward her.
Along with her breasts, her long stretched-out legs caught my eye. She sat sexily with her black stockinged legs crossed.
She probably doesn't think these actions are sexy herself.
Unfortunately or fortunately, her tight skirt prevented seeing inside. But just her plump, firm thighs visible on the outside and black pantyhose would be enough to make plenty of men cum.
As I voyeuristically admired Joo-young's nice body for a moment, I felt a slight reaction down below. That's when.
She suddenly lifted her head from lying on the sofa.
"!"
I startled and quickly averted my gaze.
'…Why am I acting like this?'
Though her beauty is exceptional, these feelings didn't arise normally. Fear took precedence over sexual excitement before.
But seeing the reaction down below now, something was definitely strange.
As I was pretending to be distracted while avoiding Joo-young's gaze, she narrowed her eyes and asked me irritably.
"What's with you, why is your face red?"
