Why Are My Skills So Weird 83

The next day, I woke up groggily to the ringing sound of a phone.

Mary opened her eyes at the same time, groaning as she hugged my body tightly.

“Ugh… I don’t want to wake up.”

“Don’t be a child.” I rolled my eyes. “Your phone is ringing. Are you not going to answer?”

Mary groaned again before extending her hand to the nightstand and grabbing her phone.

When she saw the name in the call, she was startled.

“Jane, can you not speak for a while?”

I was confused, but I nodded as Mary pressed the answer button.

The next second, a male voice came from the other side of the call.

[Good morning, Mary.]

“Good morning, honey.”

I froze.

Wait, honey!?

Seeing the change in my expression, Mary hurriedly brought her finger to her lips.

I was dazed. Damn, what is with this situation?

However, I knew that now was not the moment to confront Mary.

While I was dazed and confused, Mary continued talking with the man on the phone.

“How are you? Is your business trip coming to an end?”

[Not yet. A new dungeon appeared nearby, and the association asked me to help with the subjugation. By the way, I heard that a sudden dungeon opened at our home, are you alright?]

“Well, I was trapped inside the dungeon, but fortunately, everything is alright.”

[That is good.]

After that, Mary and the man continued talking about several topics under my complicated gaze.

After almost three minutes, the call finally ended, and Mary looked at me with an amused smile.

“What? Surprised?”

“Well, you never told me that you were married.”

Mary chuckled.

“You are so young and innocent. Well, as you can see, I’m married.” Mary said carefreely as she stood up from the bed, not bothering to hide her naked body.

I put on a complicated expression.

“You cheated on your husband.”

“What about it? He had cheated on me a lot of times. He has even other women besides me. Why can I find another man occasionally then?”

I smiled bitterly. So it’s that kind of situation, huh.

Awakened are famous for two things, their extraordinary abilities, and their messy lives.

It’s not uncommon to hear that a male Awakened has several women. Likewise, many females Awakened have relationships with several men at the same time.

The reason is due to a single fact, the government needs more Awakened.

If one of the parents is an Awakened, then the probability of the child being born as an Awakened is greatly increased, and if both parents are Awakened, then the probability increases even more.

However, the number of Awakened is very small compared to the normal people.

Due to it, the government encouraged having male Awakened to have relationships with several women, siring more children, and increasing the Awakened population.

Of course, the government can’t encourage it openly, so on paper, polygamy is illegal. But they offered a lot of subsidies and rewards to the parents of Awakened children. As result, many women did not mind having a relationship with an Awakened even if they know that he have other women.

This phenomenon created many males Awakened in polygamous relationships. It became common for males Awakened to find several women.

However, that was just the start.

Women had stopped being considered less than men many years ago. Thus, many females Awakened were dissatisfied with the polygamous relationships of males Awakened.

The result? Many female Awakened started to have several ‘husbands’ or ‘boyfriends’ even though it would not increase the number of Awakened being born.

The government could do nothing about that, so they simply decided to pretend that nothing was happening. Anyway, they got what they wanted, more Awakened.

But as result, Awakened became famous for their messy romantic lives.

I knew about it, however, today was my first time being in contact with this situation.

“Are you still thinking about that, Jane?” Mary looked at me and chuckled. “Don’t worry, our fun night will be our secret. To be honest, I quite like you, what do you think about becoming my sex friend? I can teach you a lot of things.”

I smiled wryly.

“I will think about it.”

“Then I wait for your good news.”

After that, Mary ordered breakfast for both of us. I then took a quick bath and bid her farewell.

Mary gave me a kiss on the lips before leaving, making me feel complicated again. Then, I went back to my home.

On the way, I could not help but think about Mary’s situation.

Sigh, how complicated.

[Why are you so depressed? Don’t tell me that you like her.] The demon’s mocking voice sounded in my mind.

I shook my head. That is not it. I think that Mary is beautiful and her personality is incredible, however, it’s just that.

However, she is still someone I slept with. Learning that she has a husband makes me feel complicated.

[Did you forget? The mother of your ex-girlfriend is married too.]

I stiffened. Yeah, I forgot about it.

To think that the two women I have had sex with are both married.

I’m not sure if I should feel proud or ashamed.

[Just enjoy it, boy. You will have to sleep with a lot of women due to the Soul Supplementation Art. You were not thinking to marry every one of them, right?]

I suppose so.

I chuckled.

Thinking about it, that stupid technique means that it will be unlikely that I will have a normal romantic relationship in the future.

Well, there is no use thinking about that now. Anyway, I broke up with my previous girlfriend, and I don’t think I will be entering into a new relationship soon.

I guess I should just enjoy life while I can. And if one day I fall in love with someone, then I will think about what to do.

However, I’m clear on a thing.

I don’t like the idea of my women sleeping with other men.

[Good. It looks like you are not beyond saving yet. Then, should we find a way to kill Mary’s husband.]

… Yeah, I don’t think I consider Mary my woman. She is just a friend, yeah, a friend.

[Sigh, and I just thought that you still had hope. What a disappointment.]

Shut up, demon.

I already slept with his girl, if I also kill him, I won’t be able to live with the guilt.
