Chapter 9

You turned the live broadcast upside down

The status window, which had been spinning around chaotically, slowly came to a halt.

[Deep Sleep] [You will be able to enjoy a week of deep sleep.] [Experience maximum fatigue recovery with minimal sleep time!]
"Oh wow···."

A special achievement. Although Gunja was unfamiliar with the situation, the reward was simple. It was literally to allow for deep sleep.

[Would you like to activate the reward?]
After a moment of hesitation, Gunja selected [No]. While deep sleep was always good, it wasn't necessary at the moment.

When the intense training camp began, he would need to reduce his sleep and put in effort. He had heard that idols were made through such tough processes.

"I should save it for later."

As he thought this and closed the status window, another message appeared.

[Special achievement unlocked.] ["First Fan Service" achieved.] [Rewards are given.]

It seemed there were still rewards remaining.

Gunja's eyes widened with anticipation as he looked at the status window to see what the reward might be.

"What is this?"

[Sweet Chocolate] [You can take out and eat chocolate from your pocket anytime you want.] [Remaining chocolates: 5]
"Ha ha, what an unusual reward."

Chocolate, a word he hadn't heard before. Was it some kind of food?

Curious, he reached into his pocket and indeed felt something. It was a small round item wrapped in gold foil.

[Chocolate] [A sweet snack. It improves mood and boosts energy.]
Just then, the status window explained chocolate. It was like the sweet rice cakes he used to enjoy as a child. Unwrapping the gold foil, Gunja chuckled.

"Snacks are all snacks."

He used to enjoy snacks a lot when he was a child. He reminisced about his days in the marketplace. He had stopped eating such treats at fifteen.

Such things are only for children···.

*gulp-.*

"!?!?"

Gunja's eyes widened in surprise as he put the chocolate in his mouth.

* * *

It was the first taste of chocolate that was the root of the problem.

For the following week, Gunja roamed every convenience store and foreign snack shop, hunting for chocolate.

"I want to buy all the chocolates in this store."

"Pardon? All of them?"

"No, just one at a time···."

The first time he tasted chocolate was a shock. Was there really such a delicious snack in the world?

However, despite searching every store, he couldn't find any that matched the first chocolate he had tried. He couldn't find the same product anywhere.

"Chang, there's nothing as good as the chocolate you gave me!"

In the meantime, he couldn't resist eating one more, leaving only three chocolates in his status window.

He had to save these for sure.

Determined, Gunja headed to the gym.

He was beginning to get used to the physical training at the gym. Yesterday, after washing up, he noticed a small muscle on his arm in the mirror.

"Oh, is that your biceps? So small and precious!"

Gunja started to understand why people went up onto that apparatus.

"Demon··· No, Master! Look, don't you think my arm has changed?"

However, the demon-like teacher Iarong seemed more interested in Gunja's cheek than his arm.

"Hmm, I don't know about your arm."

"Master, how can you not notice this!"

"Member, why are your cheeks like that?"

"Is there something wrong with my cheeks···."

"Why have your cheeks become so chubby?"

"What?"

"You look just like a squirrel preparing for winter. It wasn't like this a week ago."

"W-what···."

"Member, what have you been eating?"

"!"

"Be honest."

Gunja's heart sank.

This person is definitely a demon. How can they see through someone's inner thoughts so easily!

Without realizing it, Gunja wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and desperately tried to explain.

"No, I haven't eaten any chocolate or anything like that!"

"Pardon? Who said anything about chocolate?"

"Oh no!"

"Ah, so it was chocolate?"

A-rong approached with a wicked smile.

"Chocolate?"

"T-that, just a moment···."

"Cho-co-late~?"

The thick chest bulged with every movement, performing a grotesque display. It was so disgusting! Instinctively repulsive!

"Master, I'm scared!"

But even if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn't. Seeing that disgusting chest muscle made him lose all strength.

A-rong picked up Gunja and carried him to the apparatus. Unfortunately, it was the apparatus Gunja hated the most.
