Seong-han Lee woke up in his hospital bed, drenched in sweat.
It had been a month since he was admitted to the Armed Forces Capital Hospital. He was getting used to life here.
When can I return to the front line?
He was itching to be discharged.
“Yes, patient. Are you experiencing any abnormalities?”
“No.”
“That’s good.”
Min-ho Baek, standing next to the bed, checked the chart.
It was the first time he had seen a dual awakening.
He even made a new form for it.
“Um, patient.”
“Yes?”
Min-ho Baek narrowed his eyes sharply.
“What traits do you have?”
“Do I have to tell you?”
“You don’t have to. If you feel uncomfortable.”
He checked the chart.
Trait crystal ball.
The traits that can be estimated through it are as follows.
[Regeneration (S)]
-Recovers 0.5% of health every 5 seconds. The regeneration rate increases with lost health. Consumes internal mana to recover physical limb damage.
[Mental Barrier (S)]
-Neutralizes and reflects damage from mental debuffs and skills.
[? (EX)]
‘This guy is insane.’
Min-ho Baek swallowed hard.
It wasn’t certain, but he was a big shot.
Moreover, how rare was the [Regeneration] trait!
And what about [Mental Barrier]?
This guy had achieved the unprecedented record of dual awakening.
Even a diamond spoon who only got the best traits.
‘I can’t let him go.’
Even if it’s Mi-young Kang, I can’t give up this golden goose.
Creak.
The hospital room door opened.
“Mr. Seong-han, are you in there?”
Jin-young Kang, holding two cups of hot chocolate.
She pushed the door open with her long legs.
The military doctor standing in front of the door blocked Jin-young Kang.
“E-excuse me! You can’t just enter as you please!”
Jin-young Kang smiled brightly.
She took out her ID from her suit pocket.
NIS.
In other words, the National Intelligence Service.
She even had an awakened individual badge.
“Ah, I’m here from the National Intelligence Service for a courtesy visit. There’s a ‘problem’ related to Mr. Seong-han.”
Min-ho Baek’s face turned pale.
‘When did the information leak?’
Was it a mistake to have them work 24-hour shifts?
Burning a few houses down is the only way to make them listen.
[Min-ho Baek uses the skill, ‘Mind Control’.]
When he used the skill, a sense of calm came over him.
Supporters don’t directly help in combat.
But they assist combatants with various skills.
Min-ho Baek was once renowned as a supporter, so this level of skill was basic for him.
He approached Jin-young Kang and bowed slightly.
“Hello, I’m resident Min-ho Baek.”
“Jin-young Kang.”
Jin-young Kang bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle.
She expertly took control of Min-ho Baek.
“Um, are you perhaps Mi-young Kang’s younger sister?”
“Everyone else didn’t notice. You’re sharp.”
“……”
“Why the startled look?”
“You’re quite different from your sister.”
“Unlike my sister, I’m very merciful and peace-loving, so you can rest assured.”
Seong-han Lee, lying in bed, looked at Jin-young Kang and thought, ‘She’s not that calm of a woman.’
Just a few days ago.
He was lying in bed when she suddenly came to visit.
“Join the National Intelligence Service.”
“Not interested.”
“Starting salary of 100 million won upon joining the National Intelligence Service! 100% guaranteed. Detached house, top priority for national pension!”
“If you come any closer, I’ll report you.”
“A-and a wife.”
She had been growling at him just the other day, wanting to have him.
‘By the way, what does that mean?’
[Iron-blooded Empress, Mi-young Kang – Lv. 27 (She has a deep interest in you.)]
[National Intelligence Service Section Chief, Jin-young Kang – Lv. 29 (It’s best not to approach her any further.)]
Seong-han Lee swallowed hard, looking at the favorability window.
[Quest has arrived.]
[Favorability Quest]
[You have attracted the sudden interest of ‘Jin-young Kang’. This may adversely affect your future actions. Find a way to decrease her favorability.]
[Reward: ‘Jin-young Kang’s’ ???]
[Failure: ‘Jin-young Kang’s’ favorability Lv. +5]
He had no choice.
[A strange entity emerges from the tower.]
What’s that now?
“He’s handsome!”
“It’s Mi-young Kang!!”
“P-please sign this! Please sign this!”
Seong-han Lee, Jin-young Kang, and their luggage came out to the waiting room.
8-9-year-old kids were holding onto Mi-young Kang’s suit pants and stretching them.
“J-just a moment, please. I have someone to meet.”
Mi-young Kang was momentarily flustered.
More people poured into the hospital waiting room.
Because of Mi-young Kang’s popularity.
As a world-renowned influencer, few people didn’t know her.
“Major is very busy.”
“That’s part of her job.”
Jin-young Kang clicked her tongue in a blunt tone, as if it were no big deal.
Mi-young Kang quickly approached.
“Ah, ahaha. Spending time with civilians is also part of my official duties. Can you wait a little longer?”
“Awakened soldier Seong-han Lee, it’s possible!”
She patted Seong-han Lee’s shoulder.
“Thank you. I’m always in your debt, including that time.”
“Eh? What are you talking about?”
“…For helping me recover at least the remains.”
This is the reward. Mi-young Kang handed him something.
“This is?”
To be precise, it was a long sword.
[Star’s Longsword (A)]
-A divine sword made from the scales of a dragon. It will not break from any attack.
“Isn’t this Major’s equipment?”
“I’ve received too much from you.”
“Excuse me?”
“I also gained something personally, so this kind of investment is fine.”
Mi-young Kang smiled brightly and left.
This time, Jin-young Kang stuck to his side.
“Did you eat well? I would have thought the noodles would have gone up my nose.”
“Ah, I ate well.”
Jin-young Kang sat down, tying her suit tie.
She patted the seat opposite her as if telling him to sit next to her.
“Hurry up and sit down. I have a lot to talk to you about, things to discuss regarding the contract.”
Ring!
[Favorability level has increased.]
[Jin-young Kang’s favorability has reached Lv. 30.]
[Rewards are calculated according to the unlocking procedure.]
[The target is currently in a state of ‘Charm’.]
[The reward procedure is canceled, and the response procedure is initiated.]
[Ah, he looks so damn fine. Tall as a beanpole, with all the elements to seduce a woman.]
A sudden, sexy voice hit his skull.
“Huh?”
When Seong-han Lee asked in confusion.
Jin-young Kang, who was sitting like Rodin’s <The Thinker>, trembled.
[The target is currently in a state of ‘Charm’.]
[D-did I say that out loud?! Calm down, there’s no way. He’s probably just curious because of my face. Naturally, naturally.]
Her expression eventually returned to normal.
She shook her head.
“Is something wrong?”
“Didn’t you just say something?”
Jin-young Kang tilted her head.
“I didn’t say anything.”
A drop of sweat rolled down her jawline.
“I didn’t say anything. Mr. Seong-han, you haven’t been sleeping well lately, so you must be on edge.”
“I must have misheard.”
“Right?”
A thin smile formed on Jin-young Kang’s lips.
A few minutes of short silence.
‘What the hell is going on?’
My head hurts. What do you mean, charm? Where did the charm come from?!
An awkward atmosphere.
Seong-han Lee stroked the longsword Mi-young Kang had given him.
The one who broke the silence was the cheerful voice in his head.
[He’s seducing me, right? Right?!]
What?
[Of all the women in the Kang family, to seduce a strong woman like me. He’s got guts.]
The sound of swallowing saliva.
Jin-young Kang’s throat bobbed smoothly. Seong-han Lee calmly assessed the situation.
[Calm down. Timing is everything, right? If I snatch him up and make him permanent.]
Although she tried to cover it with her arms and legs.
There was a head’s worth of height difference.
He could see everything.
Seong-han Lee concluded.
‘It’s Jin-young Kang’s voice.’
Then where are these thoughts coming from?
No, who the hell is the one who cast the charm?
The newly appeared favorability?
‘No, it was already mentioned that it existed.’
Then another awakened individual?
‘They can’t beat an S-rank trait.’
A monster?
‘Yeah, that’s it.’
The culprit was roughly determined.
The question remains.
If it’s registered in the system, there should be a numerical window. Seong-han Lee pressed the air.
[Jin-young Kang: (Stalker/Isolation)]
《1st Class》
[Lv.1 – Jin-young Kang’s trait awakens.]
[Lv.5 – Jin-young Kang tries to gather information about you.]

《3rd Class》

[Lv.30 – You can read Jin-young Kang’s thoughts.] (New)
‘What is this?’
Seong-han Lee resisted the urge to tear his hair out.
He knew there was favorability.
But he didn’t expect it to be in this form.
Honestly, he didn’t even know it could be quantified!
And what the hell is that voice?!
It was harassing him with a voice that would come out of a male-oriented erotic game.
Are all women in this world like this?
No.
That’s definitely abnormal.
100%!
He was about to get up for a moment.
“Waaaaah!”
Suddenly, he fell over due to the weight on his body.
“Ouch!”
