I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game-Chapter 293: Status Window
Shin Se-hee was watching the footage when a sudden thought crossed her mind, prompting her to ask, “Ichika, you once mistook Jin Yoo-ha for an incubus, right?”
“Yeah, I thought he was one when he came to save me.”
“I see.”
Indeed, looking at him now, it wasn’t hard to see why she had made that mistake. Even though the real thing was far more captivating than the video, just watching him gave /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ off a mesmerizing allure.
“It's easy to understand why you’d mistake him for an incubus. Jin Yoo-ha’s appearance was already flawless, but now he's surpassed even that.”
Sophia nodded seriously as if reading Se-hee’s thoughts.
Why is it that every time he gets stronger, he gets more handsome? Se-hee wondered. Is this something out of a martial arts novel, like some sort of physical transformation?
As Se-hee indulged in this idle thought, Im Ga-eul cleared her throat, her face flushed red.
“Ahem! Is it just me, or does Jin Yoo-ha seem more exposed than last time...? Is it my imagination?”
“No, you're right. It’s a good thing we’re watching this in private. If this had happened in front of others or during a live broadcast, it could have been disastrous,” Lee Yu-ri agreed, her expression turning serious.
The room's atmosphere shifted, all of them realizing just how close they had come to a catastrophe.
“How many more times will this happen?” someone asked.
“Should we start carrying extra clothes to cover him up just in case?” Im Ga-eul suggested, half-jokingly.
At that moment, in the video, Jin Yoo-ha ripped off what was left of his clothes and bit a piece of it between his lips. As if on cue, everyone watching the footage swallowed hard.
His long lashes lowered, and a bead of sweat rolled down from his cheek to his chin before dripping off.
Gulp.
The sound of someone swallowing filled the room.
“This is Jin Yoo-ha’s fault,” Se-hee muttered.
“Agreed.”
“This feels... unfair,” someone added.
“Ahem, but his exposure is a bit excessive... and, I mean, is that size even possible?” Im Ga-eul mumbled awkwardly, hiding her face behind her hands but still peeking through her fingers.
“Hmm...”
“Oh...”
“Right...”
Everyone remained silent, but no one was confused about what she was referring to. Sophia’s camera movements had also conveniently zoomed in on that particular area.
Jin Yoo-ha’s lower body.
“...He’s a very, very big man,” Ichika finally blurted out.
Blood trickled from Alice’s nose.
“Status window.”

I stared at the status window, dumbfounded at the drastic changes that had occurred overnight.
By defeating the Maegesu, I had leveled up from 3 stars to 4 stars, and the difference was overwhelming.
I now understood why the system had delayed the update.
Let’s go through this slowly...
I suppressed my excitement and scanned the status window.
First, my stats had increased by +10 across the board.
At the same time, my Mind stat had surpassed 100, joining Charisma, which had already broken that barrier when I killed the fire dragon.
The last time I got something, it was Charisma...
This time, by breaking through the 100 Mind stat threshold, I had gained a new trait, [Immovable Mind].
“Wow, this is the real deal.”
I knew this trait.
It was the same one Gukbap would receive when she reached 5 stars.
“This is insanely hard to get...”
When I’d broken through to 4 stars, I received Charisma, which wasn’t bad, but it paled compared to Immovable Mind.
This trait made the user completely immune to all mental and illusion-type attacks—a god-tier trait.
In Gukbap’s case, it elevated her from a mere tank to an almost divine-level character.
But I had obtained it simply by breaking through a stat threshold. I had to admit, luck had been on my side.
[Immovable Mind] was one of the highest-tier traits one could get from surpassing 100 Mind stat points. Most people only got traits like [Resilience] or [Perseverance], which, while good, were nowhere near as game-changing.
[Resilience] helped you keep fighting through pain, and [Perseverance] allowed you to survive as long as you had at least 1 HP. But neither could compare to [Immovable Mind], which completely nullified mental and illusionary attacks.
“Lucky.”
I threw out a clichéd line from a web novel and turned back to the status window.
“I wish my swordsmanship specialization had upgraded to SSS tier... but I guess that’s asking for too much.”
It had already reached SS tier after I defeated the fire dragon, so it wasn’t surprising that it hadn’t gone up this time. But there was still one more level-up to aim for.
At least I’ve got the True Wolyeong Sword Art.
No longer the incomplete Wolyeong Sword Art, it had been officially recognized as the real thing, thanks to the addition of Salro and Hwalro techniques.
That was also something to be happy about. While everyone else had gotten stronger during the last month’s special training, I had been stuck in a pit, feeling like I wasn’t gaining much. But now, my status window itself was confirming that I was on the right path.
And... there’s the new achievement title.
King Slayer.
I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Killing the Maegesu at this point is really snowballing into something bigger.”
The title granted a passive advantage over anyone with demonic energy, which was a significant edge considering that most of my future enemies would likely be demonic beings.
“This is great. I thought I’d just get some extra sword skills in the Swordmaster’s Forest, but this is even better.”
Killing the Maegesu at this stage wasn’t something even the original game allowed. It was only possible because I had done things differently.
I felt like whistling.
To summarize:
4 stars+10 to all stats100 Mind points → [Immovable Mind][True Wolyeong Sword Art]King Slayer achievement title fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The rest of the updates? Titles like [Incubus] and [Big Man] that kept popping up. And the affection meter in the Obsession Ring had increased by 2% for Alice (Kim Malsook).
What’s up with the ‘Incubus’ title, though?
I frowned at the list of titles, then relaxed.
“At least I got the ‘Big Man’ title. I’m tired of being mocked with weird nicknames all the time... Maybe this means people now recognize me as someone with a ‘big presence.’”
Well, I was a big deal, after all.
A big deal.
“Hmm, maybe I should take the team through a Gate tomorrow? I’m curious to see how strong I’ve become.”
With that, I finished checking my status window and went to bed in high spirits.
The next morning.
I met up with the team, ready to tackle a Gate, but I was taken aback by what I saw.
“So, today we’ll head to the Gate—wait... what?”
It looked like no one had slept at all. Their faces were pale, with dark circles hanging low under their eyes.
Even Alice, who had joined the team just yesterday, looked completely drained.
“...Did everyone have a rough night?”
When I asked, the team members glared at me.
“...This is all your fault, Jin Yoo-ha.”
“Huh?”
“Yes, it’s the hero’s fault.”
“This time, I have to agree with the others.”
“You... mutt...”
“Jin Yoo-ha, this is all on you.”
“...What did I do wrong?”
I asked in a bewildered voice, but no one gave me an answer.
