Collecting the Male Leads' First Nights

“Is there any need for you to get the back of your hands dirty?”
“Huh? … What do you mean?”

As Luca looked at her expectantly, Sylvia smiled and held out the back of her hand. And then, she held her face close to his ear and whispered.

“You can eat the salt on the back of my hand.”
“Ah…”

Luca hesitated, unable to say anything. Sylvia was so excited that she was making Luca, who was usually cocky and rude, behave innocently like this. She put the back of her hand in front of the hesitating Luca and urged him to taste it.

“Don’t refuse. Hurry.”
“Well, then… Ah, but is it alright?”
“Yeah…”

A gulping sound that came from one of them echoed between the two. Luca’s eyelashes trembled and he tried to use his tongue to lick the salt on the back of her hand.

“… Hm? What is it?”
“What?”
“Why are you shaking like this?”

Staring down at the back of her hand as she heard Luca’s words, Sylvia’s eyes widened in surprise. Her hands were shaking regardless of her will, like those of a person with hand tremors. Whenever Luca tried to lick the salt, her hand shook violently like a deflating balloon and widened its distance from him.

Her heart beating like crazy, and her hand shaking like an aspen tree… She realized why her body was reacting like this.

‘Sh*t, the trauma of dying twice is dominating my body.’

Sylvia’s body instinctively denied Luca’s access, even though she thought it was fine, because she had died twice.

‘He has to eat it! Stay still!’

Sylvia covered her mouth with a tissue and struck the back of her hand, which firmly refused its owner’s will. She struck her hand violently several times with her other hand, and her trembling hand fell powerlessly. As if that wasn’t enough, Sylvia grabbed a rope from the counter and bound her hand to the table.

Luca opened his mouth wide and looked at her.

“Ugh, my hand… Why is it like this? It’s fine now.”

Sylvia turned the rope a few times, wrapping it around her hand, and smiled brightly as she wiped away the cold sweat that flowed down her temples.

“Your hand… Is it alright to bind it like that?”
“Of course. It’s a little quieter now. Now, taste it.”

Sylvia swept the back of the dazed Luca with her free hand and brought him closer to her other hand, which was tied to the table. Then, she picked up the bowl of salt and poured it into the back of her hand.

“Now, come on…”

Luca gazed at the bound hand on the table, then shook his head and raised the bowl of salt.

“Your hand is trembling. I’ll just eat the salt on my own…”
“No!”

‘Where are you going!’

She hurriedly took the bowl of salt that Luca was holding and sprinkled it from her collarbone to her chest. She thought about sprinkling it between her legs for a moment, but she held back because she thought it would be too vulgar.
Luca only looked at her with a confused face.
Sylvia let out a harsh sigh as she raised her hand and called out to him.

“Phew, come here. My hand is like this, so here… You can lick it here, right?”
“Huh? Y-yeah…”

After gulping, Luca looked down at Sylvia’s clavicle and chest, which were sprinkled with white salt. As she raised her hand and slightly lowered the shoulder strap of her one-piece swimsuit, Luca’s throat twitched. As her white, coveted upper chest was revealed, it was a very stimulating scene.

Luca gently grabbed Sylvia’s shoulders and lowered his head, his eyelashes trembling sharply. Then, he kissed the dented collarbone.
Sylvia shuddered as his hot lips touched her collarbone.

Luca hesitated for a moment, then stuck out his tongue to lick the salt scattered on her body. Sylvia couldn’t resist and groaned as she felt the touch of his hot tongue on her collarbone and upper chest.

‘Was the 〈Almost-Legendary Poison Immunity〉 effective? At this rate, today will be a perfect day.’

“Hng…”
“Ah…”

Luca, who was at a loss at first, rested his hand lightly on her chest as if he felt empowered by Sylvia’s reaction. Sylvia wrapped her arm around his back, making his touch bolder. He gently gripped her chest with trembling hands and rubbed it.

Sylvia smiled softly and stroked Luca’s hair. Then, Luca looked up at her with the same expression he had when he licked her, asking if he did well. Sylvia, who was seduced by the beautiful golden eyes, impulsively brushed his moist red eyelashes. Then, she groaned without realizing it.

“Hnngh… It feels g…”

At that moment, a message popped up in front of Sylvia with a warning sound.

———————————————

[〈Almost-Legendary Poison Immunity〉 neutralization failed. Almost legendary means you can be poisoned by one or two out of 10. Saliva passed; tears neutralization failed. You were poisoned by a deadly poison.]

———————————————

“… This is some bullsh*t.”

Along with the message, Sylvia felt an excruciating pain in her hand and screamed. Perhaps the hand that was trembling knew in advance that she would get a dead-ending. She regretted it belatedly, but it was already useless.

It was a pain as if she had dipped her fingers in hot dalgona. She ripped the rope from her hand and rolled to the floor while clasping her fingers.
(T/N: Dalgona is a South Korean candy made with melted sugar and baking soda.)

“Aaargh!”
“… Huh? Sylvia?”

As she clutched her hand and rolled around the floor, Luca shook her in confusion, but to no avail.
Looking down at her hand in a semiconscious state, she could see that she had been really poisoned, as it was turning black.

———————————————

[A deadly poison seeps into your hand. 〈Almost-Legendary Poison Immunity〉 has failed to neutralize tears.]

———————————————

“Sylvia? What’s wrong? Wake up! Sylvia…”

Along with the excruciating pain, Luca’s voice got farther away, and her vision became dark. After a while, she heard the eerie sound of the sword descending, and the dead-ending message appeared.

———————————————

[Ah, you who are a 〈Righteous Citizen 1〉 met the ending 〈die from poison caused by drinking tequila and sprinkling salt on your chest to seduce Luca, and then touching his eyes〉, 〈30 days〉 after the start of the game. Oh no! Unfortunately, your 〈Almost-Legendary Poison Immunity〉 worked with the saliva, but failed to neutralize his tears. It’s a pity that your body was warning you, but you were blinded by lust and didn’t notice it.

You returned to dust after only eating Noel and being unable to eat the remaining four virgin handsome men. Sylvia! Still, you ate one, so your life wasn’t the worst…]

———————————————

With a teasing message, her vision soon darkened, and she lost consciousness.

After a while, when she opened her eyes again with a pale face, she was at the entrance to the cocktail bar, the last save point. She wanted to praise her past self for saving the game just in case. Luca shook her shoulder as she was standing blankly at the entrance, not going in.

“Sylvia, why are we here?”
“What?”

Thinking that she had died again because of Luca, she reacted harshly without realizing it. Luca opened his eyes wide as he looked at her cold gaze.

“Hm? What, what’s wrong?”

Sylvia came to her senses at his response.

‘Yeah, it’s not his fault I died. I should have stopped it when my hand started shaking. I even tied it up for no reason. Ugh… This damn game. Am I ready to challenge death one more time? Or should I put it on hold for a while? That’s the problem.’

The 〈Almost-Legendary Poison Immunity〉 might succeed in neutralizing the poison this time. What should she do?

She thought for a moment before coming to a conclusion. She decided to do the part-time job first to increase his friendship. She had just tasted the pain of her hand burning, so she didn’t feel like touching Luca again.
In addition, her feet were not moving inside the cocktail bar. Not only her hands but her entire body betrayed her will. After finishing her thoughts, she staggered and pretended to be unwell, leaning on Luca’s body.

“It’s n-nothing. I’ve been a little lightheaded lately…”

Luca took hold of her body for a moment, then looked at her affectionately. And gently swept over her bangs.

“When you’re feeling unwell, you should have our products…”
“Where is the part-time job?”

Sylvia coldly blocked Luca’s bullsh*t and stepped back.

After walking along Luca to the beach, she passed through the entrance and entered the promenade where many tourists walked. There were street vendors illegally occupying the promenade. Surprisingly, all the street vendors were the big guys she had seen before.

‘Luca controls this place too… Isn’t he worse than the one who spread the contaminated energy?’

Sylvia was staring at Luca shudderingly. She also had a lot of prejudice against him, as he was the target character who had already brought death upon her three times. Unaware of Sylvia’s fierce gaze, he took her to a statue with a dolphin on it.
Beneath the statue were the skinny guy and tattooed fat man who had fled as soon as they saw her earlier. They were anxiously shouting at the passers-by without noticing Luca and Sylvia.

“Healthy food that is good for your body and tastes good! Hey, there, lady! Take one of these to your husband!”

They were shouting their gums dry. A mat filled with unidentified bottles and boxes… She noticed that they were selling leftover drugs from the event venue.

‘Wait… That can’t be…’

She forgot for a moment that Luca was running a pyramid… correction, a network business. Looking closely, even the skinny guy and the tattooed fat man had a silver brooch on their chests. It seemed that there was a rank even lower than ruby, sapphire, and diamond; silver. They must have been having a hard time after buying the healthy products all at once with the dream of getting a fortune.

Sylvia, who clicked her tongue for a moment while feeling a sense of pity, remembered again that they were gangsters who had been collecting a toll and turned away with a straight face.
When she looked at Luca’s face again, she didn’t know if it was just her feeling or if he was looking at them with the corners of his mouth raised very wickedly.

‘If he wasn’t handsome, I would have run away a long time ago. However…’
