No XP, Just Seed : My Apocalypse Cheat

001 Desire at the Edge of the Abyss

A strong wind blew harshly against my face.

Before me yawned a dark, thousand-meter-deep man-made valley.

One wrong step, and my body would shatter into pieces on the sharp rocks below.

I leaned back helplessly against a thick iron railing that came up to an adult's neck.

Behind me, the roar of speeding traffic in the fast lane remained constant.

Strangely, the noise made my mind feel crystal clear and calm.

My name is Kael. I'm twenty years old, and at this exact second, my life has officially hit rock bottom.

I have no parents, no steady job, and I was just cheated on by my girlfriend.

Just this morning, I saw the woman I loved walking out of a love hotel with a rich guy.

A truly fantastic, perfect storm of bad luck.

Feel free to crown me the biggest loser and most pathetic excuse for a human being of the century.

A hollow laugh suddenly burst from my throat. I kept laughing harder and harder until warm tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.

Life's joke was so hilarious that I couldn't stop.

The longer I stood frozen at the edge of the bridge, the more the urge to jump and end it all grew inside my chest.

My left hand gripped the cold iron railing.

My knees trembled, ready to push me up to climb over the fence.

Then, my body suddenly froze.

There was one absurd fact holding back my sincere intent to commit suicide.

'Wait a second, I'm still an old virgin.'

Confusion crept into my mind.

You might be wondering why I hesitated to jump just because I was still a virgin.

To be honest, I was just as confused by my own line of thinking.

But let's be honest and rational here.

What idiot in this world wants to die without ever having slept with a beautiful woman?

If you ask me, my firm answer is hell no.

The main problem was that my finances were in a tragic state.

Forget asking a girl to be my new girlfriend—I couldn't even afford a prostitute.

Inside my worn-out wallet, the remaining money was only enough to buy a small piece of bread and a bottle of water.

Pretty pathetic, right?

"I really wish I could have sex before I commit suicide," I muttered softly, lamenting my fate to the passing breeze.

"Hmm, how about doing it with me?"

A soft, exceptionally sweet voice rang out right beside my right ear.

I jumped in surprise and instinctively turned my head to the right.

A strange woman was already standing right next to me, leaning against the exact same railing.

I had no idea how long she had been standing there; her arrival hadn't made a sound.

My eyes widened as I took in her appearance up close.

She looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. Her skin was flawlessly fair, like a fresh blanket of snow on a mountain peak.

Her sapphire-blue eyes shone brilliantly, outshining the most expensive jewel in the world. Long, glistening silver hair fluttered gracefully in the wind.

Her bust was average—not too large, but certainly not small either.

Overall, her physical appearance was undeniably top-tier.

Yet, in stark contrast to her breathtaking looks, her expression was completely flat.

Her gaze was cold and empty, like an emotionless robot.

'What kind of terrible past did she go through to have eyes that empty?' I wondered in disbelief.

Whatever story lay behind those eyes, it certainly wasn't a pleasant one.

"Who are you?" I asked hesitantly, taking half a step back.

"Ufufu, does it really matter who I am?" she replied casually.

A light, effortless chuckle escaped her thin lips.

"You want to have sex before you commit suicide, right? I'll grant that."

I raised my eyebrows, unable to believe my ears.

"But why?"

"We have the same goal."

"Huh? Don't tell me you want to commit suicide too."

The beautiful girl suddenly went quiet. Her sapphire eyes fell toward the depths of the abyss, sinking into a thick vortex of despair.

"If I could turn back time, I wish I'd never been born," she whispered very softly.

I froze in place, not knowing how to respond to such dark words.

"Forget about me," she said, breaking the silence once more.

She stared straight into my eyes with a demanding glare.

"You seriously want to experience sex before you die, right? Then let's do it together."

I swallowed hard against the lump in my throat.

"After that, we'll jump off this bridge and die together," she added without hesitation.

Honestly, my logic screamed at me to refuse this crazy stranger's offer. But the primal animal instinct deep inside me wouldn't let me shake my head.

"...Alright."

In the end, we agreed and walked side-by-side away from the cold bridge. Our destination was a nearby love hotel a few blocks away.

We walked along the city sidewalk under the bewildered gazes of a few passersby. Since I had no cash at all, she paid for the entire room f*e.

She pulled a thick stack of bills from her small purse at the front desk without blinking. It felt pretty humiliating and damaged my pride as a grown man.

Still, there was nothing else I could do about it right now. The door to the high-end hotel room opened with a soft click.

We stepped into the dimly lit room, which smelled faintly of aromatherapy. Without wasting any time, the woman walked straight into the bathroom to wash up.

I was left standing alone, frozen beside the massive bed.

......

I sat stiffly on the edge of the bed, wrapped only in a clean white towel tied neatly around my waist.

All around me, the dim lighting of the hotel room cast a warm, alluring red glow. From behind the glass bathroom door, the distinct sound of trickling water echoed through the room.

As the trickling water gradually slowed, the desire building inside me grew stronger. A burning heat slowly spread from my lower abdomen, wrapping around my entire chest.

My physical state forced me to swallow hard, overcome with intense nervousness. My throat felt bone-dry, as if all the water in my body had evaporated.

My heart pounded furiously against my ribs like the relentless beating of war drums.

'Calm down, Kael. Stay focused. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance,' I thought, trying desperately to regain my composure.

Suddenly, the trickling water inside the bathroom stopped completely. The hotel room fell dead silent for a few seconds.

The scent of fragrant soap and warm steam drifted out from the gap under the door. The metal doorknob turned slowly, making my heartbeat double in speed.

I heard wet, bare footsteps quietly moving toward the bed. The cold marble floor absorbed every cautious step she took.

The frosted glass door opened slowly, revealing the beautiful woman as she stepped out. My eyes widened, taking in her breathtaking appearance from head to toe.

Her long, shimmering silver hair was still slightly damp, dripping pure water onto her smooth shoulders. She wore only a short white towel covering her chest down to her upper thighs.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," she whispered softly, her voice trembling slightly.

Her usually robotic face now wore a vivid, captivating blush on both cheeks. Her slender fingers tightly clutched the folds of the towel covering her body.

That micro-movement betrayed the overwhelming embarrassment she was trying so hard to hide from me.

"Gulp... Not at all. You look incredibly sexy and stunning," I stammered, my voice raspy.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a breathtakingly sweet smile.

"Tonight, I am completely yours. Don't hesitate to unleash all your desire on my body," she said innocently, without any hesitation.

Such an explicit statement from the enchanting woman felt as if it awakened an ancient beast within me.

A man's wild instincts immediately took full control of my body. My mind went completely blank for a moment, swept away by a wave of burning emotion.

I stood up firmly, grabbed her smooth waist, and pulled her beautiful body into my arms.

As our bodies came together, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred. A powerful electric shock exploded violently in the middle of our chests.

A blinding golden light burst forth, illuminating every corner of the dimly lit hotel room.

Swirling waves of mysterious pressure vibrated through the surrounding curtains and furniture.

I snapped back to reality when a loud, mechanical notification echoed in my mind.

[Conditions met. Level up successful!]

[Job acquired: Spear King!]

A surge of pure, immense magical power coursed violently through my veins. The muscles across my body tightened as they received a seemingly infinite outpouring of mysterious power.

An overwhelmingly oppressive regal aura instantly blanketed the entire room.

Streams of invisible information flooded my mind on a vast and complex quantum scale. There was too much data rushing into my head for me to process all at once.

'Spear King? A spear? What's with all these magic moves and skills?' my mind screamed in confusion.

Whatever remaining passion I had vanished completely, replaced by total bewilderment.

Once the shockwaves of energy subsided, the first thing I did was look down. My eyes locked onto the silver-skinned woman still held tightly in my embrace.

The golden glow wrapping around the two of us slowly shrank and vanished without a trace.

She looked completely dazed and shaken, mirroring my own mental state and confusion. Her clear sapphire-blue eyes met mine in an intense gaze.

A freezing silence enveloped us for a few seconds as we both tried to process this strange reality.

Then, our lips moved, and we spoke at the exact same time: "What happened?"
