'I am not a virgin anymore?!'
Post-nut clarity hit Noa.
He was sitting on a bed, still naked and confused.
The most elegant, fascinating, dark-haired woman was getting dressed beside him.
Noa couldn't believe that he had sex with such an amazing lady.
Even after the deed was done, he was still conflicted.
'How did I pull that off? Did my two years of mewing streak work?'
It was his chance to make another move—letting her go would be a real shame.
'Do you want to get a lobotomy together?'
He was thinking about how to express his feelings.
'No, that's too dumb. She might not like it.'
Just as he was contemplating what to say, the woman leaned in and kissed him on the lips, making his head dizzy.
The closer she was, the stronger her charm worked on him.
Her black dress enhanced her beauty beyond that of any supermodel, and her brown eyes captivated him like magic, floating around his senses.
"I will see you soon, darling," she said.
Her voice was sweet and deep.
Then she left the hotel room, leaving Noa completely stunned.
'We are going to meet again.'
The boy thought cheerfully and put on his clothes.
Noa was a 25-year-old virgin until 20 minutes ago, and he headed back home with newfound vigor.
His mood improved drastically.
After ten hours of continuous gaming, he just left home to get beer, and then…
… Noa had a hard time remembering subsequent events.
Some images flashed in his head.
For example, he could recall his way to the hotel room, but almost nothing before that.
'Maybe I was too excited…' he thought.
But he clearly remembered the most important parts, and he was happy with that.
As Noa sat on the bus, he took out his phone and started watching gaming videos.
The topic was the game that had altered his life.
Awakened Extra with Plundering System
It was a game with classic fantasy tropes.
The main character transmigrated as an extra to survive with an OP SS-rank talent in a perilous world.
However, instead of the webnovel, it was a freaking game that came out almost ten years ago.
And that day had changed his life.
Not because it was the greatest game with a compelling story and an interesting cast of characters.
Nor were the fighting mechanics outstanding.
Ten years later, no one played it anymore.
As for Noa, he had a reason for remaining as a loyal player of the game.
The day when the Awakened Extra with Plundering System came out, and he played it for the very first time, Noa was summoned into that world.
It lasted only for a minute.
He couldn't believe it, but the scar on his back proved how real everything was.
This terrifying experience shaped his life to this day.
Ten years was a long time to spend on a single crappy game, but Noa was dedicated and studied everything about the game and its lore.
He knew it wasn't a dream, and even anticipated a second chance in the game world and trained for it.
Awakened Extra with the Plundering System was getting its biggest update, and it was being reworked.
Noa had a premonition something would happen.
He believed in his experience and was ready to embrace his second summoning.
So, after the company made the announcement two days ago, he spent every waking hour studying the game from scratch.
Beer was an exception, but he somehow got the most amazing experience on the side.
Now that less than an hour remained before the game launch, Noa didn't waste a second and watched the analytic videos.
Soon, he reached home and booted the PC.
The empty house never discouraged him, and as someone whose income solely came from writing web novels and game reviews, he led a pleasant but modest lifestyle.
With full concentration on the screen, he watched the loading bar.
'Act like I don't care.'
He thought as the game took its sweet time to load.
Suddenly, the loading bar halted, and the light from the monitor changed color.
"Here it is!"
Noa yelled eagerly.
But two minutes went by, and nothing happened.
"Damn it. Was it too much for me to dream? Or do I need to find Truck-kun?"
He said dejectedly, but abruptly, a delicate hand came out of the screen, and before Noa could register what was going on, he was pulled inside.
"What the!"
It wasn't the way it was supposed to happen.
At least not with his experience.
Yet, he was dragged into the darkness, his body moving through galaxies and constellations.
And after what felt like an eternity, he got back to his senses.
… Until his head hurt like hell, and he blacked out.
^^^
Opening his eyes, Noa stood in the great hall.
"I did it? It was successful, right? Did I really transmigrate?"
His voice felt foreign.
Even his height felt uncomfortable.
However, he did it.
His wish for ten years, followed by the obsession and countless hours he put into analyzing was rewarded.
Noa had no attachments on Earth.
"But… I can't meet that beauty again…"
He said wistfully and looked around.
Studying the surroundings, he smiled and said,
"This world is definitely Velrox, and I am inside the First Abyss."
Noa recognized the stony walls and the short grass on the floor.
"System!"
He called the interface to check his talent and skills, but nothing happened.
"System interface."
Despite repeating it several times, he couldn't change the outcome.
"Well, I am fucked."
Not knowing his skills, the perks of transmigrating, or even his identity wasn't the best way to begin his new journey.
Especially when this place was filled with monsters.
Noa didn't want to give up and tried various chants to activate the system or the skills.
His every attempt crashed into an impregnable wall.
Suddenly, he heard talking in a language he couldn't understand, but he recognized it immediately.
"It's goblins. The ugliest, the most basic monsters that caused my misery ten years ago."
The wound on his back ached.
Noa wanted to turn around and hide.
He had to stall until the system answered his call.
But luck didn't agree with him, and more than a hundred goblins circled him.
"Fuck!"
He shouted as the monsters besieged him.
They had numbers.
Noa was alone.
The goblins had weapons and armor.
Noa didn't.
He couldn't fight back…
Not even a miracle could save him, and 20 seconds later, the goblins butchered him to pieces.
His pain only lasted for a moment, and he lost consciousness.
Noa died three minutes into this new life.
The darkness swallowed him whole, and a distant voice and a magical wall materialized in front of him.
Ding!
