"Mr. Seong Eugene. Can I have a word with you?"
It was the director. His name was Noh Han-su, a man in his late thirties with a gentle demeanor.
"Yes. What is it?"
"It's nothing much, but would you be able to appear in the drama a few more times in the future? I'll make sure to pay you well."
Director Noh Han-su looked at me with sparkling eyes.
Oh Jun-hyuk would've been thrilled by the director's offer, but I wasn't. I had no interest in dramas or acting. Memorizing lines was bothersome, and I didn't have much talent for acting.
"I'm not really good at acting, though."
"It's a simple role. Today's fight scene turned out much better than I expected. When this airs, it'll probably become a hot topic."
"...Hmm."
I hesitated. The reason I didn't refuse immediately was because Na Ah-yeon came to mind.
'If I keep filming the drama, I'll get to see Na Ah-yeon a few more times.'
I didn't necessarily need to become close to Na Ah-yeon, but you never know.
"Please, Mr. Seong Eugene."
"Alright. I'll do it. I already told you I'm not good at acting, so don't complain later."
"Not good at acting? You were doing great earlier. What are you talking about?"
The director laughed heartily.
Oh Jun-hyuk and I exchanged contact information with Son An-do, said our goodbyes, and left the set. As we did, I kept an eye on Na Ah-yeon.
Na Ah-yeon seemed to get along well with the staff. To think that an actress like her had a hobby of posting nude photos online… People really are unpredictable.
'I need to get home quickly and log into Sexnet.'
As I was about to get into the car, Oh Jun-hyuk grabbed my shoulder.
"Hey. Forget the second awakening for a second, when did you even awaken your mana?"
"Not long ago. It happened almost simultaneously. I was lucky."
"So that's why you awakened so late. How about it? Wanna hit the club tonight?"
"I'd love to, but I'm strangely exhausted today."
"After watching you fight earlier, I can see why you're tired. Well, can't be helped."
Oh Jun-hyuk nodded.
Even to him, the fight scene between me and Son An-do looked intense. In reality, I wasn't that tired.
"Why don't you go home and rest too?"
"Clubs are more comfortable than home for me."
Oh Jun-hyuk said seriously. I just chuckled and let it go.

When I got home, I immediately turned on my computer and logged into Sexnet. Browsing was free, but to view explicit content like pornographic photos, you needed to register as a full member and have SP (Sexnet Points). SP was a currency used exclusively on Sexnet.
To enjoy adult content like videos and photos, you needed SP. SP could be recharged using crypto currency available online.
"Damn it. To become a full member, I have to verify my genitals."
You had to take a photo of your genitals and send it to the administrator for verification. It didn't matter if you were male or female. It was a ridiculous verification method, but there was no way around it.
I took off my clothes, wrote my nickname, date, and time on my lower abdomen with a water-based marker, took a photo, and submitted it to the administrator for full membership.
The reply came immediately.
"They're so stingy."
100SP was roughly equivalent to 100 Korean won. Viewing a pornographic photo cost 5SP, which was about 5 won.
'There's a monthly best and today's best?'
The categories were photos, videos, and adult broadcasts. The best rankings seemed to be determined by recommendations and views.
I first checked the top post in the monthly best photos category.
<5SP has been deducted.>
"...Wow."
It was a photo of a naked woman. Her legs were spread wide open. She looked incredibly flexible, as if she were a ballet dancer. Her face was on par with a celebrity's. Her B-cup breasts looked firm, and her shaved pussy appeared pink and taut.
There wasn't just one photo—there were six in total, each from a different angle.
I was shocked when I saw the view count for this post. It had over 300,000 views, even though it had only been posted 8 hours ago.
'The poster is earning all the SP. If 5SP equals 300,000 views… 1.5 million! They're earning 1.5 million SP?'
SP could be exchanged for crypto currency. The lowest-tier members had 30% deducted, and there were fees for exchanging crypto currency, so they'd roughly earn about 1 million won.
'Posting one photo and earning 1 million won… That's insane.'
I noticed that except for the photos in the best rankings, the view counts weren't displayed. The average view count didn't even reach 100. Only the best-ranked posts had absurdly high view counts.
'Photos can be set as low as 1SP.'
The strategy seemed to be setting a low SP to attract viewers initially, then raising the SP once enough people were drawn in.
Perhaps because it was paid content, if an unattractive woman's photo was posted, people would immediately start leaving harsh comments.
'The 100th place in the monthly best has less than 100,000 views.'
While some people posted for money, many others posted photos not for financial gain but simply to have people look at them.
I browsed through the photos. The higher the SP, the younger and prettier the women tended to be.
'Let's see… Na Ah-yeon's nickname was "SunkenFox," right?'
I typed "SunkenFox" into the search bar. Posts by SunkenFox popped up one after another. Most were photos, with the occasional video.
'The average view count is around 3,000. That's lower than I expected.'
While this would place her in the top 10%, considering that SunkenFox was the actress Na Ah-yeon, the view count felt surprisingly low.
<1SP has been deducted.>
I checked the photos posted by SunkenFox. They matched the photos on Na Ah-yeon's smartphone.
It was the photo Na Ah-yeon had taken in the bathroom earlier today. Judging by the upload time, it seemed she had posted it immediately after taking it.
There was also a video of Na Ah-yeon masturbating.
Seeing this gave me a different kind of feeling.
'Wait. What on earth is the top video in the monthly best?'
I was curious. The monthly best video had more views than the top photo—over 1 million.
<300SP is required to view this video.>
"Tsk."
I decided to recharge 10,000 won. I had plenty of money now.
'It's a bit complicated since I have to convert it to crypto currency first.'
Still, the instructions were clear, and I was able to recharge within 3 minutes by following them step by step.
<9,000SP has been recharged.>
They took 10% as a fee.
I immediately watched the monthly best video.
"Wow."
I couldn't help but let out an exclamation after watching the video.
The woman's face was stunning, and her body was flawless. Why would a woman like this expose her face like this?
'Probably for the money.'
The top video had over 1 million views.
Videos could be set between 10SP and 300SP. Of course, the ones in the best rankings were all set at 300SP. 1 million multiplied by 300 was 300 million.
'Since NoonaKiller is a Diamond-tier member, only a 10% fee applies. That means they're taking home 270 million won.'
Just one viral video could earn nearly 300 million won in a month. That's insane.
However, after browsing through the top 20 videos in the monthly best, I could understand why.
'These women are far more beautiful than your average AV actresses.'
Plus, there was no mosaic censorship. If you could watch a porn video like this for just 300 won… I'd definitely watch it.
'Damn. Why didn't I know about this earlier?'
My beloved dick was standing at attention. That's how arousing these videos were.
Sexnet had been an illegal site for over a decade. I had avoided it in the past simply because I didn't have money.
I wanted to kill my past self. It felt like I had missed out on 90% of life.
19th place.
Even a video of a currently active AV actress was uploaded.
There was also a Hall of Fame section, and the videos there were absolutely mind-blowing. They were quite old, but even now, they were incredibly arousing. If I had seen these during my high school days, I would've praised them as life-changing porn.
'…Wait. Why haven't I seen these before?'
I had scoured every free porn site except Sexnet. I had watched plenty of porn, but I had no memory of seeing the ones in the Hall of Fame.
'This is a bit strange.'
Porn videos uploaded to such sites usually get leaked.
'If they were leaked, these view counts wouldn't make sense. Did they really manage to prevent leaks? How?'
I started searching online. It wasn't hard to find information about Sexnet. There were posts summarizing everything about it.
'The reason Sexnet hasn't been shut down is… There are many reasons. They're all conspiracy theories, though.'
Some said a politician was behind Sexnet. Others claimed it was run by a hunter whose abilities made it untraceable. All sorts of conspiracies were written.
'If you leak Sexnet's videos or photos… Hackers will hack you?'
There were even specific cases. This wasn't just a rumor—it was real. In the past, some people had tried, but without fail, they were hacked, and now no one dared to leak Sexnet's content.
'This would scare anyone into not leaking.'
I started watching Sexnet's videos again.
Today's best had less than 10% of the views of the monthly best. Still, they were quite arousing.
'The videos in the monthly best are exceptionally high-quality.'
The ones in the monthly best could be considered the top 0.1%.
'The common feature of the best-ranked videos is that the women's faces are fully visible.'
In modern times, even if your face is exposed, you can still live a normal life. With professional makeup, you can become unrecognizable. There's also plastic surgery, and artifacts or scrolls sold at hunter shops can temporarily alter your appearance.
'But if I change it like that, it'll feel awkward and people will notice right away.'
"...Damn it. Already?"
I stopped as I was about to recharge.
'...Why don't I just upload the videos?'
Currently, my smartphone is filled with an enormous amount of recorded sex videos. The faces in these videos can just be slightly edited and mosaicked, and that'll be enough.
'Joo Seo-hyun and Yoo Seo-hee aren't from this world anyway. It doesn't matter if their faces are revealed.'
Since the vampire detective is from a drama world, I'm a bit hesitant to reveal the face, so I can just mosaic it and upload it. It's hard to identify someone just by their body. If there's anything too risky, I just won't upload it.
'It's a waste to keep it just for myself. Let's upload it.'
I immediately started taking action. Editing the videos was incredibly easy with my hacking skills. Just in case, I made sure to erase as much of my digital footprint as possible while uploading.
I uploaded a total of 3 videos.
Three videos in total. One of Yoo Seo-hee and Joo Seo-hyun, and one from the vampire detective's world, featuring Yeong Hye-jeong.
'With videos like these, I should definitely get at least 300 SP.'
