“****”

“Little Dou, quick! Remove that skill now!”

“Remove the Sex Change Skill! Now! Right now! We don’t need it!”

[Last Confirmation. Are you sure you want to remove the Sex Change Skill?]

 

“Yes! Yes! Now! I don’t want to see that again!”

[Sex Change Skill has been removed!]

 

“Dangerous! That’s a very dangerous skill that shouldn’t exist!”

“Huu! Good job, me!”

“The future me would certainly praise me for making this great decision.”

Max softly patted his chest as he deeply exhaled, laying back down their bed after getting up in urgency, being surprised that something like that would even come out.

“Hey, it’s gone. Don’t be so scared anymore.”

Yu’er only stared at him for being scared of the Sex Change Skill, though she understood why he was like that. She didn’t want to have anything to do with that skill either.

“What?! Me? Scared? No, I’m not scared! That skill was just too dangerous! Good thing it’s gone already.”

Patting his flaccid dick from his shorts like it was the most valuable thing in this world. Max now understood the saying about not knowing how important it is until you almost lose them.

[As you removed one item, you have one available slot left. Do you want to use another one?]

 

“Uhh, we also want to remove the Sexual Whip.”

“Don’t you want to try it?”

Hearing his sister saying that, Max turned to his sister, teasingly asking her, to see her reaction. Instantly getting a response from her,

“No, thanks.”

Max was merely joking as he isn’t into those whips and collars stuff. It never came to his mind to inflict pain on his sister, and he will never have any plans like that.

“Remove the Sexual Whip.”

[Last Confirmation. Are you sure you want to remove the Sexual Whip?]

 

“Yes.”

[Sexual Whip has been removed!]

 

“Should we use more?”

Yu’er wanted to know what Max was going to say as she doesn’t mind either way. All of it was free anyway.

“No. Not right now. I feel unlucky this day. We’ll do it next time!”

Max felt like if he continued, he would be more unlucky for the next few items. Even if he was fully aware that the items coming out were completely randomized, he still didn’t want to take the chance.

“It’s fine. We have got a new consumable, the Healing Potion. That ought to be useful already, right?”

Yu’er nodded at his words. Reading the description of the potion and seeing how much it would cost, they know how good the potion will be for them.

It wasn’t expensive, either. For all it’s usefulness, 1000 Points was a good deal for them as the potion can heal any wound they sustained.

It never said what type of injuries it heals. It only said healing any wound, so that should include any severe wounds.

Of course, they won’t expect it to heal a severed arm or cure poisons in their system.

“Hey, we haven’t used the lottery for so long, let’s try one!”

“We got the Lust Meter from there in the past! Maybe I’m going to be lucky this time!”

Staring at the Health Potion, admiring its effects, Max unconsciously glanced downwards. There, he saw the Lottery that he had never used ever since he got the Lust Meter.

As it was quite cheap, only 100 Points each, he became interested in using it, even just once today.

“We only have 1950 Points. It should be fine, just don’t use too much.”

“I’ll only use it once! Watch how lucky I will be!”

“Little Dou, one lottery please!”

[Remaining Points: 1850]

“What the hell is this!”

“What? Where do you wear this for! Do I wear this on my head!?”

“This is useless! 100 Points wasted just like that! For this? This isn’t a condom! This is a balloon! Who would even wear this?!”

“A scam! This is definitely a scam!”

“Pfft!”

Yu’er and Little Dou laughed loudly, watching Max getting pissed while holding a large packet of condom, saying whatever came to his mind.

“Hey! I…We just wasted 100 Points here! This isn’t funny at all!”

“Hahaha! Hahaha!”

Seeing that they weren’t going to stop laughing at him, he started thinking about what should he do about them but in the end, he didn’t think of anything.

“Whatever!”

“Little Dou, I want another lottery! I felt something good inside me for some reason. I’m sure I got this now! No more garbage items for me!”

“I promise this is the last time for this day!”

[Remaining Points: 1750]

Congratulations!
You’ve won the Dream Awareness Skill!

“HA!”

“I got something good! I knew it! Dream Awareness Skill! I got the Dream Awareness Skill! Which was the…the…?”

“U-Uhm… Little Dou, what is this?”

Max celebrated too early. From the name of the skill, it sounded powerful, so he got excited about getting something different than the usual trash items.

He wanted to brag about getting something good, but then he remembered that he didn’t even know what the skill is about.

Max looked hopefully to Little Dou. His eyes almost looked like he was begging her to say something good.

Yu’er also focused on Little Dou because, from the name of the skill, she had a feeling that it will be a good one.

[Woah! T-This is? Wahhh! This skill is cool, Max!]

 

“What is it, tell us quick!”

Both of them were staring intently at Little Dou, feeling more hopeful after hearing her excited words.

[Dream Awareness Skill – If turned on, whenever you are dreaming, you will instantly be aware of it and would be able to control all your actions in the dream!]

 

“…”

“Woah! I did it! I don’t know what I would achieve for being aware of my dreams, but I did it!”

Yu’er’s eyes were also shining. In her mind, she was happy that Max got another skill using just 200 Points.

It didn’t matter for her whether it was useful or not because 200 Points is just a tiny amount of points and getting a skill for that amount was already unreal, even cheaper than consumables.

And from how the description looked, it seemed promising. Being aware that he was in a dream and also be able to control his actions, it should have some use right?

“Little Dou, what’s the use of this?”

[That skill is really good! You will know when you experience it!]

 

“So what is this dream about? When I go to sleep?”

[Yes! Just go to sleep, and you will experience it right away!]

[Hehe! Both of you should always ask me questions like these! Everything you know about the Store, I already know! Everything you don’t know about the Store, I still know!]

Little Dou stared at both of them with her chin up, looking like she was genuinely proud of herself for what she just said.

“Then tell us, what should we buy next?”

Max laughed as he gave Little Dou a teasing look. Yu’er was seriously waiting for her answer because she knew Little Dou was right.

Everything they know about the Store, Little Dou already knows and everything they don’t know, she still knows.

After all, she was the System Fairy. She should know a lot of secrets that they would even imagine at this point in time.

[Uhmm… Uhh… Uhmm… Hmph! You’re just teasing me!]

 

Max and Yu’er held back their urge to laugh, seeing Little Dou’s uncomfortable appearance, tightly grabbing the edge of her dress.

They knew that she could give suggestions but straight-up telling them what to do was not possible.

Little Dou was trying to think of words to say as she just boasted that they should ask her questions, but with Max’s question, she doesn’t have any idea what to say.

It was until she saw their expressions that she realize that they were only teasing her, puffing up her cheeks into a pout.

A couple of minutes of exchanging banters and laughs, they went back to the topic they were talking about.

Max turned to his sister. Seeing her nodding at him for affirmation,

“Little Dou, buy the Inventory.”

Max felt a little sad seeing their hard-earned points, disappearing just like that, shaking his head to forget about it, remembering about the good side, it will push him to work harder for more.

Grabbing a pillow, Max thought of storing it in the Inventory. As soon as he thought of it, the pillow magically disappeared.

Max didn’t feel any changes. It was like the pillow didn’t exist at all. Max was expecting something like an imaginary image of the Inventory in his mind.

“Oh. I can see it!”

Max could somehow picture the content of the Inventory when he thought about it. It was so magical!

Thinking about the pillow materializing on his bed, as he expected, it appeared.

“So cool!”

“Hahaha! I can now steal money from the banks!”

“Ha, you would be lucky if you aren’t killed by Awakeneds if you did that.”

Yu’er wasn’t sure about what she said. She just assumed that banks had some Awakends guarding their vaults because if they don’t, they would probably be closed down now.

“Wait a sec, I’ve thought of something, let me try this!”

“Kyaaahh!”

“Oh! I didn’t think that would work. Hahaha! This is the best!”

Max touched Yu’er’s shirt, trying to store it in the Inventory. Right after he thought about it, it disappeared.

Yu’er was left with nothing but a pair of pink panties. Her bountiful white breasts were exposed entirely for Max to see.

Her face was blushing red, not from her almost naked state but from actually shrieking in surprise.

“Hey! Don’t do that in public! Okay?”

Yu’er wore her shirt after Max returned it. She didn’t mind being naked in front of him as she usually changes with him in the same room.

What she was concerned about though was Max using it in public. That was why she stressed tp Max that he shouldn’t do that.

“Of course I won’t! You’re mine, after all!”

“Hehe, though I might use it on others!”

“Think about a guy suddenly being half-naked from below. Hahaha!”

“So, what now?”

“I was thinking of using some of the free items we get from leveling up.”

“Hmm, sure! It’s free anyway, who knows maybe we’ll get something good.”

Max wasn’t expecting useful items to come out. Most of the time, free items would mean they are trash.

“Little Dou, we’re going to use some of the free items.”

Yu’er went out of the shower, looking fresh, wearing an oversized shirt, showing off her smooth white thighs as she went beside Max.

“So I’m level 9 now, almost max level for my rank huh.”

Yu’er was elated as she looked at her current level that went up again. But it wasn’t just that she was happy about, it was also because they can get stronger quickly while enjoying what they were doing.

In the future, it will be easy for them to get stronger and rank up continuously as they were enjoying themselves, getting stronger from it without even trying.

Of course, that was assuming they won’t be in danger from being attacked by anyone. As Max and Yu’er have considered a lot of things that might happen, they already had an answer to that specific situation.

Magical Space! If they have a space like that, they won’t have to worry about always being in danger anymore.

Their worry about unexpected things that might happen to them will also be removed from their minds.

According to Little Dou, the magical space can be inhabited by living beings at the same time. It can also store objects.

As it was considered a skill, it will only be available for Max to use, but from the Store’s description, buying the Magical Space comes with a hidden gate.

[The hidden gate is like a secret entrance that you can install anywhere for other people’s use. If you want to change the gate’s location, Max can do it anytime he wants!]

 

[And before you ask, yes, the gate will be invisible and only people authorized by Max can go in it!]

 

That’s what Little Dou said after they asked about the hidden gate that came with the Magical Space.

That would mean Max can place it somewhere, so Yu’er doesn’t have to find him to get in. Because as long as she was authorized, she would still be able to get in on her own.

For all these reasons, Magical Space was one of the things that they were prioritizing, and it was more valuable than others might think.

Not only can it be a safe place for them, but Little Dou also mentioned that future upgrades are possible with it. So far, Little Dou said that she wasn’t aware of the end for the upgrades and that the upgrades might be endless.

After all, like the System always emphasize, as long as they have enough points, they can have anything.

Those words made their minds wander about the possible upgrades they can do. As the Magical Space was more like an impenetrable secret base that will be crucial for their survival in this world.

Not caring about anything else, they even thought of a lot of things they want to have in their space.

Building houses, stocking necessities for emergencies, building training grounds, and possible upgrades that would be available at the time they buy the Magical Space.

Yu’er had a lot more ideas, mainly what they should do after they bought the space as she had been thinking about it a few times when she has nothing to do at school.

What came into Yu’er’s mind was to take all the advantages they can get from their enemies or people they didn’t like, whoever they are. A simple thought with multiple implications.

Yu’er might have meant stealing from their enemies to looting whoever annoys them. But it could also mean doing whatever they want, not caring about anyone.

It might not look like it, but they have overwhelming strength when compared to other Awakeneds. And if Max got his training and perfected the techniques Yu’er will teach him; they may not necessarily lose against a Rank 2.

Time Stop, Reverse Time, Sexual Aura, Purple Lightning, Status Checker, Invisibility Potion, Sleeping Serum, Face Mask was only a few of the items available for them to use.

When they have the strength and Magical Space, they can start spreading out their influence. Finding treasures all over the place, finding excellent opportunities, and fortuitous encounters, slowly making the city move in the palm of their hands.

“We have accumulated over 11000 points now, should we save it up for the Magical Space?”

“Okay, that’s a no then.”

After a few minutes of seriously contemplating over it, they decided to delay buying the Magical Space for only a few days.

Even with all those benefits, the points they needed for the Magical Space was 50000, and presently, they only have 11950 Points.

Based on their estimates, they would need more than two weeks to reach that number.

They couldn’t take that risk, saving for two weeks without buying anything from the Store.

Presumably, they were able to buy it after two weeks without needing any other item. It would still be a poor decision as they would need some items in the upcoming days when problems would start appearing.

So if they decided to make it their main priority, it would still be delayed a few times before they can acquire it.

In the end, they chose to buy something that they would need in the coming days.

“Then we’re set. We would buy the inventory first?”

Yu’er gave Max a nod as the Inventory is a unique type of skill. Even in the far future, it would still be useful for them, so whatever happens, it won’t be a waste of points, always having a value for them.

In the next few days, if nothing goes wrong, they would have to run around the city to get some annoying people back.

To make it successful, they would need a lot of items. If they bought the inventory right now, it would undeniably make things convenient for them.

On the contrary, when they decided to save up for the Magical Space, it would hold them back considerably as based on their approximation, they won’t even be close to getting it before the action happens.

“Little Dou, what do you think about this?”

Max turned to Little Dou to make sure they weren’t making a terrible decision. Since Max was used to asking Little Dou random questions every day, he didn’t forget to get her opinion about this.

Besides, Little Dou always listens to what they were talking about, occasionally teasing them and giving suggestions, here and there, that sometimes substantially affect their outlook of things, giving them a clearer idea about various subjects.

Little Dou was the only person that completely understands all their plans. Mango doesn’t count as he was mostly doing his own business, living in his own world.

[That’s right! That’s right! You should buy the inventory first! Even if you purchased the Magical Space, you would still need the Inventory in the future!]

 

[Why is that you ask? Because the Magical Space doesn’t have infinite space to store things that the inventory has!]

 

[The inventory also has one of the best and the most useful feature of all! It stops the time inside which has infinite uses!]

 

‘That’s right! We didn’t consider that! We can store things in the Magical Space, but we can’t freeze the time! A lot of things will be damaged; overtime and food would also spoil.’

Max was starting to see the Inventory in a brighter light. Yu’er was also thinking about the same thing.

In a busy road filled with cars, crowds of people can be seen walking at the side of the streets.

Students, parents, workers and other people minded their own selves, each seemingly has their own plans for the rest of the day.

All kinds of stores were open, some full of people and some were void of people. There were workers standing outside, trying their best to attract customers to their stores.

Max was one of those customers. As students were the primary sources of income for the stores on this time of the day, Max had to deal with different people trying hard to attract his attention.

Max, being used to these things happening every day, expertly ignored and evaded them.

As the school was over, Max, like usual, walk straight home. Having to once again experience sitting in class for hours with nothing to do, he looked mentally exhausted.

Complaining about why he had to deal with this every single day. The only thing that kept him to go to school was because he had nothing better to do and there were some good opportunities there.

If there weren’t, Max wouldn’t even think of going back. He would only enjoy himself everywhere but would mostly stay in his house as it was the place he feels the most comfortable at.

In recent times, Max always goes home with his sister together. Today was different as his sister mentioned earlier the day that she will have things to do and he should go home first.

‘Any good ideas to do?’

[Find some women and have sex with them!]

 

Little Dou always answers the same thing whenever Max asked that question. As she was the System Fairy, she never stopped asking Max to use the System to its full potential every time she had the chance.

This was a regular occurrence when Max walks home. He would ask Little Dou all kinds of questions he was curious about and Little Dou would answer them if she can.

It was Max’s way to keep his mind occupied than just thinking about nothing and wasting time.

‘Find women and have sex with them huh.’

Max was helpless against Little Dou’s answer. It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of doing it, it’s only that he didn’t have any time to do so.

The past few days, he had been very busy, going from places to places everywhere. He does have time right now, but he can only restrain himself as he would need it for later.

…

“Hah hah hah”

Max and Yu’er were laying side by side on their bed. There was a thick scent of sex all over the room. It was apparent what just occurred in there.

There were also their sweaty bodies and fluids flowing out between Yu’er’s thighs, further confirming what the both of them just did.

While Max was talking with Little Dou when he was walking home, he thought if there’s something he can to for later.

From the colorful designs of the stores that Max and Little Dou wasn’t able to look away from, he had an idea to buy their dinner so that they won’t waste time making them if they even decided to do it.

However, if they didn’t, they would have to eat leftover food from the fridge and Max didn’t want that if possible.

Thinking about that, Max changed his direction to buy themselves their dinner and a few candies for Little Dou ass he thought why not.

When Yu’er finished showering after she got home, they quickly finished their meal. Max even got a compliment from his sister for thinking about buying their dinner, getting himself a good prize.

What happened next was plain to see. Coming back to the present, Yu’er went back to the bathroom to clean herself while Max changed the stained sheets into a clean one.

They’ve bought a lot of new sheets expecting that they would have to replace their sheets quite often from now on.

Once he was done, Max went back to the bed, feeling extremely satisfied.

Looking at his status, Max thought about their decision about the System. From all his experiences so far, he has been relying heavily on the System for strength.

If other people were to look at it, it would look really bad that he doesn’t buy skills for himself. But Max, on the other hand, doesn’t think so and Yu’er also agreed with him on this.

He was only an ordinary person before he got the System. He didn’t know anything, never had any training and never had any abilities. Basically, he was a useless person.

That was why it was normal for him to rely heavily on it to get stronger. And for them, if they were to prioritize getting skills for Max just because they had concerns over a few things like the System disappearing, then Max’s future would be severely limited.

The reason for that was that the System had a lot of use for them at the moment. Women Conquered section that can make Max stronger tremendously fast by having strong women around him at the same time, making himself and his women stronger from sex.

Store items that were currently more useful for him compared to buying a weak skill as it’s a lot cheaper and has stronger effects than cheap skills could give.

Lastly, using the System to measure his own strength by looking at his status. He can clearly see everything from a numerical perspective, making it easier for him to understand his needs.

That was the reason he wasn’t buying a lot of cheap weak skills. They’ve thought of the possibility of the System disappearing numerous times despite Little Dou repeatedly assuring them that it will never happen.

At this point, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that they were already thinking too much about this as it shouldn’t even be considered as Little Dou already told them many times and there was never a sign of it to disappearing in the first place.

While they were thinking about the subject of the System disappearing, they were still able to think of a contingency plan.

In the first place, Max would still be left with his Sex Steal skill regardless if the System disappears or not as it was the skill he got for getting Rank 1, his own original skill.

That was enough for him to be the strongest if used in the right way so they didn’t bother buying cheap weak skills from the Store.

They also made plans for some good skills to buy from the Store. But Little Dou said the skills that they wanted were expensive as all of them were Upgradable Skills.

Those cheap and weak skills can’t be upgraded and would only be effective against weak people.

One day, when they became stronger and stronger, it would start to turn useless until it becomes completely garbage, wasting their points.

They were aware that the both of them were taking big risks right now about not buying any weak skill even just one, but it’s more like a calculated risk, they decided to take.

On the other hand, if they were successful at pulling it off, then they would bring in a huge amount of benefits compared to not risking anything.

Those benefits would make them much stronger than if they prioritized short term cheap skills that they may or may not need. Making it worse, those skills are guaranteed to be useless in the future.

…

The door of the bathroom opened and a sweet scent blew out, spreading to the entire room.

Previous Chapter | TOC | Next Chapter

 

Max was currently walking with Lydia, going back to class together. They were left on their own as Layla, and his sister wasn’t able to accompany them for a little longer, going the other way as they were short on time.

This was by far the most satisfying meal that Max had at this school. He enjoyed everything, almost treating this whole place as his home, doing whatever he wants.

Max had someone prepare a freshly made steak, and it was so good that it made the free meals he has been getting taste bland compared to it.

It wasn’t only him that was enjoying their time, Lydia, Layla, and his sister also much enjoyed their meals.

Fresh meat, vegetables, fruits, and even desserts were available for them to pick at any time. They only have to ask what they wanted, and they will be served exactly what they asked.

As this was Max’s first time going in this place, he tried most of the things that he saw, only stopping when he was full. His sister got the same steak as him and joined Max in eating all the food he got.

Layla got herself a salad while Lydia ate small portions of meat but mostly had different kinds of cakes. She ate so much of it that Max wondered whether she would get fat it she kept eating those.

Everyone got what they all wanted. Even though they had to pay a high price for it, no one cared one bit about it as they were all rich, including Max as he had a lot of money to spend.

And using up all his money just for buying food wasn’t possible in this case. Even if he did, he could only earn more in a day using his skills.

With his close friends, good food, and a relaxing environment, Max felt that it would be great if this happened every single day.

All four of them were having fun, Layla sometimes talked about the hot girls on the swimming team, wanting to tease Max. Having too much fun that they lost track of time.

In the end, Max had to pay for everything after they accepted when Max offered to treat them. Every one of them knows that money one of the things they were not going to lack as they were all Awakeneds.

Before they went on separate ways with Layla and his sister, his sister whispered to him, asking him to ask Lydia out.

Yu’er walked away with Layla, not explaining the reason, probably because they didn’t have any more time.

As Max knew that his sister never asks him to do things, he thought that she might have a good reason for this, so he followed her words.

Quietly walking beside each other, Max was having a hard time, as he didn’t know how to ask Lydia out.

He never had any experience with these things that he wasn’t sure what to say. Making up his mind, Max forced some words out of his mouth.

“Lydia.”

“Hmm?”

Lydia turned to him as she walked, her eyes staring at him as if asking what does he want to say.

At this moment, Lydia was already comfortable around Max. But her habit of speaking a few words as much as possible never change.

“Are you free one of these days?”

Max sounded like it wasn’t a big deal, showing no hesitation and not stuttering while asking Lydia in a clear voice.

“…”

Still looking straight forward, everyone that saw this would praise Max in their minds, as he was always composed even when he just asked one of the top beauties of the school out.

Contrary to how he appears from the outside, inside, he was sweating buckets. A few seconds have passed, still not getting any responses, Max started to overthink things.

‘She won’t decline, right? This is so embarrassing. I shouldn’t be doing this! No! I shouldn’t have done this. Why did I even do it? Now, I’m just going to be rejected.’

“I’m free the day after tomorrow.”

This time, Lydia responded with a more energetic voice. She never expected that Max would ask her out. She thought that they would hide their relationship, not telling anyone about it.

It was fine for her whatever Max decides to do as she doesn’t have any problem with it, but when Max asked her out or implied to, Layla didn’t imagine she would suddenly be filled with happiness inside.

She had heard of other students’ stories about dates, what they do, and where they go. Sometimes she also pictures herself going on one, thinking about what she would do.

Lydia also heard about what they ended up doing after that, scolding herself for even thinking about it.

Her thoughts stopped after deciding to give Max a present, depending on how much she would enjoy the experience.

Max almost jumped up in delight as all his negative thoughts were instantly swept out of his mind, not forgetting to thank his sister later for asking him to do this.

At the same time, Max decided to do some research on what to do as he didn’t have any idea what people do at dates.

“It’s set them. The day after tomorrow!”

Lydia looked down as she didn’t want Max to see her blushing face that was completely different from how she acted when they were doing it.

Lydia felt something sweet as she saw Max getting excited, and his face brightening up, making her look forward to the day after tomorrow.

Even though Lydia only utters out a few words each time when speaking with Max, it was only because of her shy personality, her feelings for Max were strong and real.

In the past, not so much, but when unexpected events kept happening around them and repeatedly hanging out together with Max, Lydia started to fall deeper and deeper until it was pretty much irreversible.

Arriving close to their rooms, they made some space between them as they were walking so close beside each other.

Although they were okay with people knowing about them, they had an understanding about not wanting to start any unnecessary dramas, especially when there will be some people who would make things hard for them like Dex.

Which only in time, would look like a complete beta in other people’s eyes when they see Max and Lydia being together.

From what Xiao Ming had said, Max was expecting that something will happen in the future. Although Max was prepared for it anytime, preferable, it won’t be this soon.

The closer Max was to his room, the more deflated he was becoming as he was once again going to go through the most boring time in school, sitting in his classroom doing nothing.

The second floor of the cafeteria was unique. Only a few people were staying there.

The reason for that was students would have to pay for their food, and from what Max gathered, it was quite expensive.

As no one wanted to pay so much for their food, especially if they can have it for free, a lot of empty tables were displayed in front of them.

This was Max’s first time going in there. With one look, he can see that the atmosphere in this place was different. It was like he wasn’t in school.

“This place is great!”

Those were the only words that Max was able to mutter as he’s body softened, enjoying the calming music while lying down on his comfortable sofa.

When someone compared the two different floors, the difference would be quite noticeable; this place was like a premium environment made for specific people.

Make no mistake; this floor wasn’t built to take advantage of students by earning money from them if they were tempted to be here.

This place came to be when the Student Council proposed the idea to the board members and the backers of the school, for the reasons that students would instead choose to eat outside than to wait in line.

In addition to that, the cafeteria, whether it was in this building or the others, was always crowded. Arguing that it wasn’t made for everyone, giving examples like what if some students wanted better meals or specific dishes.

Rather than letting them go to other places outside school, why not just make one in here. They would save time, and the school would earn more money.

The Student Council was quite influential in this school as they also have their own backers. Most of its members have some connection to the board members, or they came from a very influential family.

Alice was an example of that, but not every one of their members was as successful as their family.

They treat it as training, training themselves to manage things so that in the future, they won’t be clueless and for the most part, the Student Council was doing an excellent job at their work.

As most of the board members and backers understood it, with enough funding, they were able to build the whole place.

No one made a fuss about it as it was built from donations than using the school’s assets to fund it.

“You have never been here before?”

“Huh? You already tried this place?”

Max responded with a question as his sister asked him like it was surprising to know that he had never been here before.

Now Max was filled with confusion, asking himself whether he was supposed to be here for some reason.

“Well, except some time when I have to do something, I go here all the time!”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah! It’s cozy in here, and there’s not a lot of people. Why wouldn’t I be here?”

“We also go here every time you know!”

Layla and Lydia joined in their conversation. Now Max understood why they were asking him to join them.

It turns out that they go to this place every time; the only different thing they did was going together at the same time.

But even if they didn’t go together, they would still see each other here. So it was only him that has never been here that was why he felt like he was the only one feeling weird coming here.

After knowing that they always come to this place, Max decided in his mind to go here every time as this was such an excellent place to hangout, better than sitting in his classroom doing nothing.

And right now, he can pay for any food he likes as he didn’t lack money, so the high prices weren’t a problem for him at all.

Looking around, there were only a few random students in there around them. Most of them seemed like they came from a well off family with how they look and their manners.

Their seats were overseeing the whole cafeteria below. It was a good view as Max can see every single situation that was happening.

“This was a good place, right?”

Max absentmindedly nodded as he continued watching people below. It was like he was a bystander in a VIP room.

While looking at the students doing their own stuff, Max spotted someone he knew. It was Nana, and she was eating alone.

“…”

Max thought that must’ve been the way he looked in the past. He thought he was fine like that but watching her right now, that doesn’t look good at all.

So he indeed does look like a genuine loner in the past. Max wondered why she was alone, doesn’t she have any friends?

The only reason Max was thinking about her when it wasn’t like him to think about others was that she was attractive.

He was tempted to make a move on her as it will be a pity if he let someone like her go.

Nana was like a diamond in the rough, a few changes here and there and she will be a top beauty. As it was already proven that she could pull herself up on her own, she would be a great partner.

“Hey!”

“Huh?”

“What are you looking at?”

“I was looking at the girl. She was the girl who I copied from for the test.”

“Hmm? She’s really pretty.”

Yu’er looked at Max suspiciously after he pointed out where the girl was sitting. Even Yu’er had to admit that she was beautiful.

“Right? I didn’t even know someone like her has been sitting in front of me. Nana acts too low profile that I wouldn’t notice her if I didn’t see her face close up.

“Nana? I think I’ve heard of her, but I’m not really sure. Anyways, do whatever you want.”

Yu’er seemed to guess Max’s intention; that was why she said that. But Max shrugged it off as he didn’t have any intention of doing anything, for now at least.

“Oh yeah! Yu’er! Max! The swimming team girls said that they could go to your house for the weekend!”

“Really?! This is going to be fun!”

Yu’er was shaking in excitement. When they had Lydia and Layla come over to their house, she enjoyed it very much that she wanted to do it again.

After Max went to the party of Xiao Ming, Yu’er instantly regretted not joining them as even though they were going to be attacked later that night, it wasn’t dangerous as Max was still holding back a lot.

She further yearned to attend a party when Max was telling her everything that they did in there, having lots of fun, food, drinks and meeting various outgoing people.

Now that it was certain that they will throw a party in their own house, Yu’er couldn’t hold her excitement, thinking about things that she wanted to have in their party.

Max was also excited, but he didn’t make it visible. Those were the swimming team, hot girls who he could only look at from afar in the past.

Now, they were going to his house! He would not be called a man if he didn’t say he was excited but not so much as it was still quite a long time until the weekend arrives.

And from his experiences, there are so many unexpected things that can happen within just a few days.

“Are all of them going?”

“So far, every one of them agreed. They were looking forward to it.”

Yu’er asked Layla every question she can think of. How many would go, who they were, if they have any suggestions and many more.

‘Hmm?’

Max turned back to where Nana was sitting, but she wasn’t there anymore.

‘That was fast! That’s barely ten minutes! Was she hungry or something?’

In fact, it wasn’t any of that. Nana was only hurrying as she didn’t want to stay in this place for a long time.

If Max were looking at his past self, he would be surprised as he was just as fast as her when it comes to finishing his food, as he was subconsciously hurrying, not wanting to be in the middle of massive crowds that were making him feel alone.

Max stopped in his tracks as he stared at the familiar people in the hallway.

They were so many people there that he decided to walk the other way, not that he was avoiding them or anything. Talking to himself,

‘Yes, they were probably lost. They didn’t know where they were going and just walked randomly until they got here. Well, none of my business.’

“Max!”

Before he was able to leave, Max heard someone calling his name out loud.

‘****’

Max cursed out thousands of words in his mind, wondering what were they planning by going in here.

…

Layla, Lydia, and Yu’er were having some fun talking with each other as they stood in the hallway.

On their surroundings, a lot of people were staring at them as it was a rare occurrence to see the top beauties going in this area of the building.

Even other students from other buildings were being influenced by checking out what was happening, making the entire floor quite crowded.

Max got goosebumps as he watched them, ignoring the stares like they were used to it, which was exactly right as people always stare at them wherever they go.

They were being treated like some sort of celebrity, and they were used to it. Max, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with it, so he decided to turn around in the other direction.

Layla spotted Max as soon as he got out of their room. It wasn’t just her, Lydia and Yu’er also saw him, they were waiting here for him after all.

As Layla and Yu’er were able to have their break early, they figured that maybe they should get Lydia and Max to join them.

Lydia was the first to arrive. After the crowd grabbed her attention, she saw that Layla and Yu’er were standing there.

With no hesitation, she immediately went to where they were standing, not paying any attention to the onlookers.

Next was Max, seeing him acting like he didn’t want to associate himself with them, Lydia and Yu’er weren’t sure about what they should do.

But Layla had some other plans, letting out an alluring smirk as she shouted for his name while waving her arms, not caring about his feelings.

…

Receiving so many people’s stares, Max wasn’t able to ignore them any longer. Having no choice but to turn back, Max slowly walking towards them.

“What are you doing here?”

“What do you think? Of course, we’ll go eat together!”

Layla was the one who responded like it was obvious. As he was already here, Max agreed. He didn’t mind joining them anyway, and he didn’t want to keep staying at this place in the middle of so much students.

They walked away together as the students made way for them.

Seeing that nothing interesting was going to happen, the students who were watching slowly went back to do their own business, feeling slightly disappointed in waiting for nothing.

“So did any interesting things happen?”

While Lydia was happily chatting with Layla, Yu’er took the time to ask Max if anything happened in his day.

“Uhh, nothing really. Except I cheated on my math test! Now I’m a hundred percent sure that I got a high grade. My skills are convenient, right?”

Max boasted like he did something amazing. If people heard that he was bragging to his sister about how he successfully cheated on his test, they would probably hit their head on the wall in anger.

“To be honest, I had a thought that you might do that. I didn’t expect that you would really do it. Doesn’t matter anyway. If I had a skill like that, I would also do it.”

“I don’t study much either. It won’t be useful for us in the future. I don’t think they study too.”

Yu’er looked at Layla and Lydia, who was really close to each other. Laughing and talking about what happened in their classes and some other random stuff.

“Why did you think of going here, anyway? This was so random. I never even imagined that there would be three beauties waiting for me.”

Even though she knew Max was just teasing her, Yu’er still became happy from his words, replying in a lively voice.

“No particular reason. We only fetched both of you as we were bored spending time with ourselves.”

Max repeatedly nodded as he can understand what they feel about how boring this place is. And thinking about that he still has a lot of years left, he almost wanted to complain out loud.

Although he was considering stopping next year as Layla and his sister would finish school. He would probably be bored to death if he were alone.

Thinking about if he should convince Lydia to do the same. But that’s for later.

…

Hundreds of students can be seen enjoying their food in the busy cafeteria as numerous conversations being heard everywhere.

It sounded like a market in there, non-stop talking, eating and serving food. No one can be blamed here as the food was all free.

This was the cafeteria for this building and where Max always goes to eat. One of the bad things here was that Max spends more time trying to get his food than actually finishing it.

The food quality here isn’t good, but it wasn’t particularly bad either. It was very much deserving to be called free food.

As Max doesn’t care much about what he eats, he usually just picks whichever food was available, quickly finishes it then go back to his classroom to wait for the next class.

There were times when he liked the food he was eating that he wanted more, and there were also times when he absolutely hated it, choosing to skip the meal.

Surprisingly, the whole place was wide and clean, tables and chairs were placed appropriately, and the floors were spotless.

Cleaners can be seen everywhere, maintaining the cleanliness for the students that still haven’t arrived. As expected of a good school, they take these kinds of things seriously.

The overall design of the place was very plain, white walls and an ordinary set of tables and chairs. Looking at the faces of the students that were using them, they don’t seem to care much about it.

As usual, there was a long line of students waiting for their time to get their food. Impressively, no one was fighting, properly lining up in the provided lane.

Watching the long lines that might take them more than tens of minutes to get their turn, Max followed them as they suggested to go on the second floor.

Max remembered his Time Stop Skill that he can use twice a day. He hasn’t been able to use it and he thought of using it today.

Now that he thought about it, when they were attacked after the party, he could’ve used it instead of using his body as a shield.

‘On second thought, I don’t think so.’

He thought about it more deeply and concluded it wasn’t a good idea to use it as if he did, they will immediately think he has some Teleportation Skill or Time Stop.

And when they got severely injured, he might even have to heal them with his other skill further exposing himself needlessly.

As he decided to use it today, he searched for smart people in the room. He wasn’t very familiar with them but he can identify some students have has consistent high grades among them.

Max was still very careful about deciding who to copy on as it would be embarrassing if he copied a paper full of wrong answers.

Max stared at his paper, acting like he was seriously answering it. Sometimes when Teacher Li turned to his area, he doodled whatever he can think of.

Every time he sees that Teacher Li was observing the other side of the room, he searched for students that seemed to know what they were doing.

Max eliminated those students who he believes would fail the test. It wasn’t hard to distinguish them as there were a lot of people who were blankly staring at their papers for a long time while furrowing their brows.

There were also others who kept erasing their answers like they were unsure about what they were writing.

In the end, he was left with a handful of potential helpers. As the others were too far from him, Max feared that he might not be able to have enough time copying, so he chose the closest one.

It was none other than the girl in front of him. Max had been observing her actions and so far, there was never a time when she stopped writing.

Max could only assume that she really came prepared, studying for the test.

Now that he decided on where he was going to copy from, Max waited for the girl to finish or at least to be close to it, giving her tens of minutes to continue writing.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, indicating that Max just used his skill. Not wanting to waste any time, Max hurriedly went beside the girl and seriously focused on copying her answer.

He wasn’t expecting that there was a lot of words to copy when he only had thirty seconds.

“Huu”

Max was back on his seat with sweating all over his face. In the end, he had to use his second Time Stop Skill to extend it as he didn’t have enough time.

Despite the fact that Max didn’t know what the topic of the test was about, he wasn’t stupid to not understand how simple calculation works.

He used the remaining time of the test to modify some of the answers he copied. Adding some small calculations here and there, removing some unnecessary calculations making it look like he used a shortcut, ending in the same answer.

Before going back, as he had a few time left on his Time Stop, he compared his paper to others, changing some things as it’s the most common he sees from others, so it must be right.

Walking back, he looked everywhere in the room, people weren’t moving and he could only hear the noises that he was making when he moves.

The last thing Max saw before he sat on his seat was the appearance of the girl that he was copying from in front of him.

He was hurrying in copying that he didn’t have the time to look up to check on the face of the girl he was copying from. Now, he praised himself for choosing the best one.

Max recognized this girl. Her name was Nana. As he was able to look at her closely, he can honestly say that she can also be considered one of the top beauties alongside his sister, Layla and Lydia.

Many students probably didn’t notice it as it wasn’t obvious because of her bearings and low profile attitude. Adding her very plain clothes, even Max didn’t notice it until now.

Mad had a good understanding of her as she was the role model of many students that were aiming to get to the top like her.

Nana was an orphan that came from the local orphanage. She worked her way up to this point on her own. As far as he knows, Nana should be living in one of the dorms of the school.

Students admire her as she had a humble personality even with all the achievements that she has gotten through years of hard work.

The only reason why Nana was able able to get into this school was that she was in a scholarship. That was admirable considering how hard it is to get it, especially at this school.

Max respected Nana a little as she was doing her best in studying, most likely to have a good future for herself.

Max wished her good luck in his mind. Most of the time, he was a realistic person and he knows that having high grades don’t always translate to a successful future.

Although he had a feeling that Nana didn’t need it as she probably had been through a lot to know what she really needed to do.

He also had the feeling that this girl is smarter than most people, not just academically. But he couldn’t point out where exactly, it was just his feeling.

Anyway, Max was happy that he doesn’t have that problem anymore. He was an Awakened and the only thing he should focus on was to get stronger as fast as possible.

Now that Max easily finished his test without much effort, he pretended to be focused on solving the problems confidently so that no one would doubt him.

‘Hahha, having skills really makes things convenient.’

[What would you do if they asked you some questions?]

 

‘That’s not going to happen. No one would care about it.’

Max doesn’t believe that someone would question him about the results of his test. He even gave up trying to get a perfect score so no one would be suspicious of him.

If he was asked to solve some more questions, he can just say that he was lazy or say he doesn’t know. They don’t have any proof anyway.

What was likely to happen was they would think he was lazy to answer it. They would never think that he cheated as it was practically impossible with the sharp eyes of their teacher peering down at them.

…

Getting out of the class as it was already lunchtime, Max saw some familiar faces on the hallway.

Max was currently sitting in class, bored, leaning on his arm.

It was a typical school day. Like how they usually do, Max walked to school with his sister. Like always, they went their separate ways as they were going on different places.

That was how he came to be in his current state, bored as he will be sitting for a long time. Max felt stares that he couldn’t help to see what was going on.

Checking out the people that were in the same room as him, he noticed that some students were sneaking glances at him.

They weren’t even hiding their intention, blatantly staring at him. Max was wondering whether they were possessed by something or he was just too good looking.

‘Tch. This is surprisingly uncomfortable. I never imagined that people staring at you would feel like this.’

In the past, Max had fantasies of being the most popular guy at school. He thought if he became famous, he would easily get all the girls for himself.

They would then hang out, have fun together and all that good stuff.

It never came into his mind that it would be like this. Some guys were giving him hateful looks, and some were burning with jealousy staring at him.

That wasn’t the worst part. If it was only that then he wouldn’t care that much as they aren’t worth his time and it’s not like he knows them.

It was the girls that were the problem. The girls that were looking at him dazedly with blushing faces were those that aren’t attractive at all!

‘Why are you staring at me like you wanted to beat me up? Do you think I would fight with you guys for these girls?’

‘They’re not my type! These virgins are really.’

Max slightly shook his head like he was pitying them. It was laughable that Max was criticizing others for being virgins when he was a virgin less than a month ago.

Even when she had good self-control, Little Dou’s face twitched when she heard that. She didn’t know whether to laugh or get angry at him for his comments.

In truth, Max was just exaggerating. There were also some cute girls that were looking at him, but he never spared them a glance as they were quite lacking compared to the top beauties surrounding him like Layla, Lydia, and his sister.

‘Boring.’

No one would disagree with him as its always like this every day at school, and Max doesn’t believe that he would need these lessons in the future.

Turning back to look out the window, as this was his only way to relieve his boredom.

The vast infinite sky that was clear and blue with traces of white clouds can be seen, as birds smoothly flew about, singing and playing with no care about the world around them.

The sun was up as usual that it makes him feel sleepy even when he just woke up. When the sun shines down on him, his body becomes relaxed with nothing to do but to soak up the rays while closing his eyes.

Most of the time, Max watched people playing in the fields with Little Dou. Sweating and running around while the wind blew through their hair, those people seemed to have so much fun that there were times, Max thought of joining them.

There were also beauties that were strolling, watching others while hanging out with their friends. It was a pity that they were too fat that Max wasn’t able to see them clearly.

This was his everyday routine, and the only reason why he still had the energy to go to school when he could’ve just stayed cooped up in his house.

*riiinggg*

The bell rang as their teacher walked in, holding stacks of paper in his arms. They call him Teacher Li, he was a middle-aged man wearing glasses that made him look stricter than when he isn’t wearing one.

He was their math teacher and was known as one of the best and one of the worst math teachers at school, and there was a good reason for that.

He glanced around the room with his sharp eyes as it landed on him for a few seconds. Max thought that this guy must be holding a grudge on him, but in the end, he passed it off as he didn’t even know the guy.

“Put away your stuff as we don’t have all day. The test will be starting, and you have until the next bell to finish it.”

Everyone muttered various complains as they put away everything that was on their table, but no one dared to say it out loud.

Max vacantly watched them like he was prepared for this, not having anything out. But the truth was he was only putting up a false front. He didn’t even know that there was a test and what’s it about.

As soon as the papers were handed out, the class became silent as they all started to concentrate their attention on the questions.

‘What’s this?’

Max looked at the test paper and saw questions that made his mind dizzy. He even wondered whether he was given the wrong paper.

In fact, most of the students wondered the same thing. It wasn’t really their fault as that was the reason why people were calling him one of the best and one of the worst teachers at school.

Teacher Li was known for giving tough math questions in tests. When he usually teaches, he makes it as easy as possible, providing easy to solve problems, making the students think they understood it.

But when it comes to tests, the questions would not be even close to the examples that he gave on practice works. The good side though was that he would make the final exams easier than tests like these.

However, for Max, it was a lot harder as he wasn’t even familiar with the topic. It’s not like he cares about this one bit, but his sister repeatedly told him that if he can, get higher grades as it would boost his reputation at school.

Though Max doesn’t want to agree with it, he knows it himself that other students really look down on others with failing grades.

Conversely, if he were to be a top student, most students would treat you with respect and speaking with them would be smoother. Max doesn’t understand why that is, but that’s how it works.

‘Hmm well, if I really try, I can easily get a high grade on this test. Who knows, maybe if I’m lucky I’ll get a perfect grade!’

Max’s eyes lit up as he seemed to think of a good idea.

They both glared at Little Dou for revealing a little then keeping the more important information a secret only to tease them.

[Hehehe!]

 

Little Dou flew around then sticking out her tongue. Contrary to what should happen, they weren’t annoyed at all. That was because they used to Little Dou’s mischief.

“Whatever.”

Max scolded himself as he tried to ask Little Dou a question even knowing that they won’t get an answer. Now they couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Max tried to forget about it by just thinking of other things. His eyes lighted up as he also tore a pillow to test his skill.

“There are no changes with mine. I guess mine’s already maxed out for my level.”

From what they found out after numerous tests, Max’s skill didn’t have any changes. They could only conclude that it was because he was already maxed level on his current rank.

They already judged it was like that and only needed to confirm it themselves. Max’s skills weren’t the main problem that was on their minds. It was his fighting techniques and movements that were the problems.

Max was not good at fighting, not that he was no talent, more like he hasn’t received any training. Max, never in his entire life, practiced how to fight a real person.

Since that was the case, Yu’er had doubts about whether Max would cry or freeze up if he experienced pain.

However, from when he was stabbed, he told her that he was still able to grab the guys arm even with all that pain.

If that was what happened, then that was a good indicator that he wouldn’t be bad at fighting as training to fight people can be extremely painful and taxing on the body.

Physically, Max was undeniably strong. He has the excellent physical strength for a Rank 1, stronger than his sister.

It was only that he couldn’t properly use it that he seemed weaker than others like Lydia or his sister.

So they decided that Yu’er will teach Max everything she knows about fighting. Yu’er wasn’t an expert when it comes to battling. She only has the knowledge their parents taught her and some experiences with delinquents on the streets.

They also had the perfect item to make that possible in the fastest time. Max won’t become a strong fighter when their training finishes, he would only become average.

It was because the technique Yu’er might exactly be the right one for Max, so he has to make some adjustments and get more practice to get used to it.

But that doesn’t matter, what matters is Max won’t be helpless anymore in case a fight breaks out. Yu’er still didn’t forget to give him a severe warning.

“If there are a lot of them, run away. If you think you can fight one person easily, fight two won’t be as simple as doubling the difficulty.”

“It will be much harder than that, particularly when they have great coordination. Fighting three people, don’t think about that for now. To be safe, run away.”

“We can just find them together if you have some problems with them.”

“Of course, I already know that! I’ve played so many computer games to know some things about fighting with numbers!”

Max patted his chest as these things about being outnumbered was basic knowledge in games that he played.

Even though he doesn’t have experience in fighting, he still learned some cheap tricks to use against an enemy, still from computer games.

“Do you think those strategies in games can be useful? Like ambushing someone, outnumbering them with more numbers and taking advantage of them when they’re weak?”

Yu’er’s mouth twitched, but she didn’t bother replying as she knows that he wasn’t thinking of doing it in real life.

As they concluded that he needed to learn his fighting techniques and movements, Yu’er also decided to help him in modifying those techniques to make it smoother for him to execute.

Now that he thought about it, looking at his level,

[Level: 20][30300/20000 Lifetime Points]!

“Does this mean when I upgraded my System, I will instantly be a Rank 2 Peak Phase Awakened(Level 30) Awakened?”

“If we can quickly max our levels on our current rank or the next rank, we can almost be undefeated in our ranks!”

Max’s eyes were shining, thinking that he already considered everything and what he assumed was right.

If that was true, then they don’t need to be afraid anymore. Max and Yu’er weren’t showing it, but they have a lot of worries in their minds.

Even though they knew they had an edge on others, which was the System, they were still thinking about a lot of stuff.

The stronger they become, the more things they would have to consider. Even when they were only starting, they had already experienced a lot of problems.

With a future that was as bright as the sun, they felt that the problems they will encounter might be as intense.

“That’s not happening. There must be some catch here that we didn’t know yet, but there should be in the future. Upgrades would also be costly.”

Yu’er was quick to dismiss all his thoughts. She never believed that they would be strong enough so soon to be undefeated.

She had seen a part of what their parents are capable of doing at Rank 3. If she were to compare Max to them, he probably wouldn’t even be able to give them a scratch.

When Awakeneds get stronger, they will get stronger all around, Strength, Defense, Speed, and many more.

As they were only Rank 1, it would be a miracle if they would be able to defeat a Rank 3. After all, Rank 3 Awakeneds aren’t as common as Rank 2’s.

With just one Rank 3 in your family, it is already enough to guarantee prosperity and a secure future. The reason for that is getting to Rank 3 is extremely difficult.

Yu’er wasn’t sure but based on what she knew, only five percent of Rank 1 Awakeneds gets to Rank 2, and only one percent of Rank 2 Awakeneds gets to Rank 3.

Based on those estimates, it shows how hard it is to reach Rank 3. All Rank 3 Awakeneds are respected, not only because of their strength but because against all the odds, they reached Rank 3 and there will always be a reason for why they reached it.

That was why Yu’er has been full of pride about their parents being Rank 3 Awakeneds at their age. Compared to others, they were extremely young.

Most Rank 3 Awakeneds are old, not old in appearance but their age as they can retain their adult exterior since they have a longer lifespan from their corresponding ranks.

Yu’er would not deny the advantage they were getting compared to others, but that doesn’t mean she will allow it to cloud their minds with some false sense of security.

[Ehehehe!]

 

Soft gigglings that sounded like tinkling bells rang out after Yu’er responded to Max. Little Dou didn’t stop her giggles as if she was laughing at them.

This time, both of them were convinced that there would be challenges for them in the future.
