Pervert In Stone Age: Breaking Cavewomen with Modern Kinks Chapter 6: World Map Function

Upon opening the fourth gift, I discovered an ability titled "Limit Breaker." Although the description remained cryptic, its potential was staggering. It guaranteed that my physical form would become boundless, allowing every skill and ability to reach its peak level instantaneously while purging all detrimental status effects.
Furthermore, it granted me absolute command over my body down to the cellular level. This ability was undeniably broken; if I could manage to purchase high-tier powers from the system’s Supermarket Store, I would become truly invincible.
However, reality hit me: I was still a weakling. Aside from my Magical Tool, I possessed no actual strength or means to defend myself. I remained uncertain about the perils lurking in this environment, but I was resolved to explore them.
With a lingering sense of anxiety and a silent prayer for protection, I unwrapped the final gift. It revealed a skill known as "Healing Factor." This ability promised immortality by mending any wound I sustained and granting immunity to all infections and diseases. The implications were massive, sparking a blend of terror and exhilaration within me.
"Ha ha ha haaaa.... I’m going to be a goddamn unkillable monster.... incredible..." I burst into laughter, fueled by the thrill of attaining a status as an Immortal Being that no one else could reach. My joy was short-lived, however, as a dark thought entered my mind.
I still lacked any offensive capabilities. If my unique traits were discovered, I risked being hunted, imprisoned, or turned into a laboratory specimen.
Standing there, I pondered the fundamental nature of this realm. I was unsure if magic was a reality here, similar to the tropes found in novels where protagonists are reborn into mystical lands.
I had spent plenty of time reading manga, but I never anticipated living through such a scenario. The concept was a volatile mix of awe and dread.
I wasn't depraved enough to slice my own skin just to verify the Healing Factor, but considering the system's other functions, I didn't question its validity.
The Healing Factor was a formidable asset, ensuring my survival against all odds. Nevertheless, even with such a power, the pangs of hunger and thirst would likely still haunt me.
The skill would keep me breathing even if I wasted away into a living skeleton—a prospect that was as horrifying as it was reassuring.
I realized that caution and strategy were mandatory. Relying solely on my Healing Factor for survival was a mistake. I had to study this world, decipher its laws, and learn about its inhabitants.
Finally, I turned my attention to the Supermarket Store. It was a comprehensive marketplace offering everything from basic sustenance and garments to advanced weaponry like guns, vehicles, aircraft, and even time-traveling vessels.
The selection was limitless. Regarding skills, the store provided everything from basic swimming and hunting to specialized talents like cooking, tracking, assassination, and survival. The catalog felt infinite, suggesting that anything could be acquired for a price.
The only obstacle was my lack of currency. Standard food items generally cost 10 Pervert Points, while a lavish, gourmet feast topped out at 50 Pervert Points.
The most affordable item was a bottle of water for 2 Pervert Points. Clothing prices ranged from 50 to 10,000 Pervert Points, featuring specialized gear like fireproof suits and astronaut equipment.
Acquiring skills required a heavy investment. Swimming was priced at 10,000 Pervert Points, hunting at 20,000, and assassination at 45,000.
While swimming was the cheapest, the survival skill I desperately required was listed at 30,000 Pervert Points. I couldn't help but swear when I saw my current balance was a pathetic zero.
"Motherfucker... system, are you trying to get me killed?" I screamed at the interface, furious that it hadn't provided any starting Pervert Points to ensure I wouldn't starve.
I was devoid of food and water, and the only way to earn points was through women. However, finding a woman in the middle of this vast wilderness seemed impossible.
The high-tier abilities were even more outrageously priced. Cloning was among the "cheaper" options at 100,000 Pervert Points.
Telekinesis was valued at approximately 1 million Pervert Points, Superhuman Strength at 500,000, and Telepathy at a staggering 10 million.
Frustration and rage boiled over as I exited the shop. I was completely broke and stranded in a jungle with no immediate way to generate currency.
I shouted for the system again, but no voice replied. It seemed to be a "dead" system, lacking any interactive artificial intelligence. Suddenly, a notification pinged on the display.
[ Does the host want to initiate the Live World Map Function? ]
[ Yes / No ]
I immediately selected Yes, hoping the map would reveal the scale of this world. Upon confirmation, a virtual panel manifested a map, reminiscent of a modern video game interface.
It tracked my current position, displaying a 3D avatar exactly where I stood. Rather than a satellite view, it utilized a terrain-based aesthetic common in gaming.
The surrounding forest was visible everywhere. Recognizing the utility of this tool, I tested the zoom functions. As I pulled back to view the broader world, numerous red dots began to surface at the forest's edge. They were clustered in groups of several hundred, with similar gatherings spaced further apart.
Continuing to zoom out, I noticed the geography mirrored Earth's continents perfectly; I was still located in what should be America. It appeared I was in the very city where I had once lived, though the map omitted names for cities or continents, showing only my icon and those mysterious red markers.
When I focused back in on the red dots located just outside my immediate forest area, I realized they were moving.
