The Seduction System

Under the dark cover of night, as the pale light of the moon slowly rose, a peace would descend on the quiet streets of the city. People would retreat to their homes and the streets would glow with a flickering light. That night, in a warehouse in the shadow of the moon, a young man woke up on a haystack.

Baek Yisoo opened his eyes and saw the Green Dragon standing over him. The Green Dragon was lighting a fire with pieces of dry wood. When he saw Baek Yisoo waking up, he looked up and pointed somewhere with his eyes.

Baek Yisoo's tired eyes opened wide when he saw the two men hanging where he pointed. There was still a great pain in his body. It hurt like hell, but he couldn't help smiling. Black Poison and Poison Wind were hanging by their arms. A rag was stuffed in their mouths.

"You don't have to worry about Minji. I've assigned someone to take her home, and an hour ago I was informed that she woke up safely. She is in good health," said the Green Dragon.

"Thank you for what you did. I don't know how to repay you," Baek Yisoo said as he looked at Green Dragon.

"You still have time to think."

"..."

"How do you feel?"

"I feel like I'm not in control of my body."

"I'm sure you'll feel better after meditation."

Baek Yisoo looked at him. He had so many questions in his mind. But after some thought, she decided not to ask them. In those few seconds, she wondered how he could heal so fast even though his injuries were so severe. And she remembered that the Green Dragon had given her a red pill before she fainted.

"What was that red pill you gave me? I recovered much faster than I thought."

Even though his Spring Qi was very strong, he had to meditate for several days to heal such severe injuries. Moreover, he should have taken supplements and avoided any damage. But thanks to the pill he had taken, his wounds had started to scab over.

He looked at his broken finger. It was already swollen and aching like crazy, but Baek Yisoo felt very happy.

"The pill I gave you is called the Blood Pill. It allows you to greatly increase your Blood Energy. It is one of the greatest secrets of my sect. It instantly strengthens muscles, optimizes internal energy flow, and provides mental clarity. If you've lost a lot of blood, it's great for recovery." said the Green Dragon, "That's not what you should be thinking about. It's what happened today."

A lot had happened today. He had been kidnapped by assassins and tortured mercilessly for more than ten hours. Then he had cunningly escaped and narrowly killed his tormentor. Then he had fallen in pursuit of the rest of the team, but had been spotted for his inexperience.

Even though it was the first time he had ever killed a human being, he felt tired, not disgusted.

"Did you recover the document?"

This was their headquarters. They shouldn't have had enough time to destroy information about him or the organization they were affiliated with.

"We were able to recover a few pieces." The Green Dragon pulled a scroll from behind his back. The scroll was extremely shiny. On it was a well-drawn portrait of a woman. Her deep brown eyes held mystery and sadness. Her pupils shone like the evening sun.

Her long brown hair fell in waves down to her shoulders. Shining in the sunlight, the strands looked like a golden constellation of stars. Her smooth wheat skin glowed with a warmth that slightly resembled a sunburn. A slight pinkness on her cheeks said that she was lit up with an inner beauty.**

Her full, pink lips were made even more attractive by her smile. There was a slight natural shine at the corners of her lips. Her facial features were elegant and slender. High cheekbones gave her a mysterious air. His nose was located in the center of his face with a smooth and thin line. He was wearing a black sweater. Around her neck was a silvery shiny necklace that resembled an arrowhead.

Baek Yisoo admired the emotional beauty of this woman. She was so well drawn that she was more than a painting.

"It's a beautiful portrait. It's almost lifelike."

"Yes," said the Green Dragon and folded the scroll and gave it to Baek Yisoo. Then he handed him a full pouch and a notebook.

"These are yours."

Baek Yisoo took the notebook and the pouch. He opened the pouch first. He almost dropped his jaw when he saw what was inside. There were thirty nyangs in the pouch, each of them gold nyangs. It was a very high amount.

"I cannot accept these..."

"Don't worry. What we've given you is only 20% of what we've recovered. These guys have assassinated a lot of high-ranking people in the last year." he said and looked suggestively at Poison Wind and Black Poison.

This amount of money might have been too much for a guard like Baek Yisoo, but it was less than the average assassin's monthly earnings.

Baek Yisoo looked at the notebook without further ado. There were so many alphabets and numbers in the notebook. The notebook was filled with so many numbers and letters that Baek Yisoo felt dizzy. After placing the notebook and the pouch in the pocket of his robe, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll leave you with your friends then." said the Green Dragon, standing up.

"Thank you for what you have done..." Baek Yisoo wanted to stand up, but he couldn't because he didn't have enough strength. So he put his hands together and showed his respect. It was a gesture he had just learned.

"No problem."

After saying goodbye, the Green Dragon left the warehouse.

After he left, Baek Yisoo ignored the two hanging like sacrificial cows and began to meditate. He repeated the mantra over and over, and very soon his breathing became regular. His breaths were very deep. With each breath he inhaled an energy like the freshness and rebirth of spring.

His heartbeat slowed down and slowly became rhythmic. The Eternal Spring Mantra had a great deal to do with emotional balance. Baek Yisoo completely cleared his thoughts. His mind became clearer and his thoughts more focused.

'A storm is raging inside me, it's like a joke.'

As Baek Yisoo focused on his inner world, he realized that an extremely wild and powerful energy was coursing through his body. This energy was of a very different kind from the Spring Qi.

'I feel the power of the Eternal Spring Mantra, the freshness of spring, rebirth... This energy is like a flower opening its bud inside me. But this wild energy wants to do harm. How can I use this energy?'

It was most likely the energy of the Blood Pill given by the Green Dragon.

'Perhaps I can absorb this energy.'

The Blood Pill had a large amount of energy and absorbing just a little of it was enough to restore it.

'I will surround it with my energy and eat it in small bites.'

He drew a road map in his mind and followed it. He directed the energy to the wounds on his body, increasing the speed of healing there. He especially needed to hurry to regenerate the skin on his chest. Otherwise she might be disgusted by him when he made love to Minji.

For several hours Baek Yisoo just meditated and tried to absorb the energy.
