Hey guys! Chapter 25 is now unlocked and the passwords for chapters 26-34 are available on my Patreon. You can also join my Discord.
And also if you can see updates in character photos on my Discord.
Anyways,
And,
“What happened, Jacob? Come on,” Maya says while turning back to look at me.
I ignore her and just keep staring at the school gate.
An Elf!? Here!? Now!?
What the fuck!?
I mean, I know about the student exchange program and all, but for Elves to come here this early? I thought it would take at least a few weeks before they show up.
“Are you alright?” Maya asks, a bit concerned now.
“Why is there an Elf!?” I ask.
Maya’s body jumps up a little from my loud question.
“Don’t scare me like that! Wait… you saw an Elf? We were informed that they had arrived at our school yesterday, but I don’t think any student has seen them yet…” Maya says.
“You know about the Elves already?” I ask in even greater hock.
“Yeah, even Layla know, but as you were sick the whole day yesterday, we decided to not disturb you,” Maya answers.
“Damn… Anyway, so?”
“So what?”
“So, tell me why are Elves here already?” I ask, exasperated.
“Oh, not only the Elves but people from many other races are here as well. Though for now, only the teachers have come to see through the accommodation facilities. The students will come here in a few days,” Maya answers.
“Other races as well? But I thought these people would be arriving weeks later?” I ask in confusion.
“Oh, I forgot you don’t know about that as well…” Maya says while sighing.
What the fuck?
“Okay, how many things I don’t know about?” I ask in disbelief.
“You were sick, okay? We couldn’t disturb when you are getting rest. You know how important you are to m—”
*Cough*
“A-A-Anyway, you remember the p-pink lightening which surrounding the WST like a barrier?” Maya quickly asks, trying to ride over what she accidentally slipped out.
“Yeah, what about it?”
“Well, the color of the lightning was changed to black the day before yesterday,” Maya tells me.
A sudden and strong fear grips me.
“R-Really? I-Is the lightening black now?” I ask stutteringly.
“No actually, it turned back to pink after an hour or something. But I saw in today’s news that it happened earlier today as well. It turned to black and then pink again after some time,” Maya says.
“…”
Fuck…
I cannot even give any more pathetic reason to convince myself that this phenomenon with WST is unrelated to my broken system anymore…
“Well, as you said, the Student Exchange Program should have started later this month, but many people are guessing that due to this black lightning phenomenon, the leaders pulled all their resources and powers to do this as fast as possible. I even heard the teachers are transported to the school using magic,” Maya continues.
M-Magic?
Shit! I am feeling a bit scared now, to be honest.
I really don’t want to acknowledge but things might turn out really bad for me if the WST is somehow affected by my system.
I know I thought that these magicians might help me, but what would they do to me if my system couldn’t be repaired?
“Anyway, let’s get inside fast or they won’t let us enter!” Maya says urgently while grabbing my arm and pulling me forward.
Getting inside the school premises, I see no sign of the elf woman from before. She must have entered the building already.
But still…
“Why is no one outside?” I ask in confusion.
There are no students around the entrance of the school building or on the grounds. It is quite unusual as the classes should not have started yet.
“Oh… well, make the things you don’t know three, will you?” Maya says with a nervous laugh.
I just glare at her.
“Okay, okay. I forgot this one. Today is actually our half day. We were informed that the teachers from the other races will be introduced to us and there is also going to be an important announcement today,” Maya tells me.
“Wait, we won’t have classes?” I ask.
“Nope. And you can see, no one is here because they are all probably in the auditorium already,” Maya informs me.
Woah, this is actually good news. I don’t like to study much!
Though, to be honest, I do like to attend a few classes for a certain reason… Fufufu.
“You look creepy laughing like that… Anyway, let’s go,” Maya says before moving sideways and dragging me towards the auditorium.
True to Maya’s words, the auditorium is jam-packed with students right now. This auditorium boosts to be the biggest one in town, being able to accommodate more than a thousand people in it.
Hmm… No one is on the stage right now?
It looks like they have not started yet.
“I am going to my friends. See are you later! N-Not that I want to,” Maya says while turning a bit red before jogging away to the front seats.
*Sigh*
When will this girl learn to act better…
Now, where are those guys sitting?
I look around here and there, trying to spot my friends in this sea of people.
“HEY! JACOB! HERE!”
“LOOK BEHIND!”
Suddenly, someone yells my name from behind.
I look back and see my two friends calling and waving at me from the last row of the auditorium.
The one standing on the right side is a lanky guy with brown eyes and hairs so short that he is effectively bald. His name is Ryan.
The one standing beside Ryan is another guy having around the same height as me. He is wearing thick glasses above his murky green eyes. His black hairs are extremely straight and lay flat on his head. His name is Leo.
They both are my best friends.
I quickly move to the back row and reach towards them. It looks like they have saved me a seat in the middle of their own.
“Hey, guy! Everything alright?” I ask while sitting down.
But before I could even properly settle down, both of them starts speaking to me furiously.
“What the fuck man? Why didn’t you pick up your phone after the System Ceremony?” Leo asks with a glare.
“We thought you died of a poison or something,” Ryan says while shaking his head sideways.
My phone…
“I-It was having some problems before. I couldn’t find that time to get it fixed,” I lied.
“Couldn’t find the time? Are your tasks that tough to do?” Ryan asks with his eyebrows raised.
…
“Y-Yeah, they kind of are…” I say with a nervous laugh.
Both of my friends give me a look of sympathy.
“Don’t worry, buddy. I know you will be fine. Well, I got off easy but…”
Suddenly, Ryan’s voice turns really heavy with emotions as if he will start crying at any moment.
“… It isn’t a sex-related one.”
He places his hands on his face and starts to cry in a fake sort of way.
Ahh~ yeah, we all wanted to have the systems where we can do perverted stuff to gain points. Well, I got one but…
Damn it! If just my system wasn’t broken and glitched on top of that, I would have bragged so much here.
“Hahahaha”
Suddenly, Leo starts laughing in a funny sort of way.
“You think my pain is a joke!?” Ryan asks incredulously.
Oh… he is crying for real.
Leo looks at both me and the crying figure of Ryan and gives us a smirk.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk… You both will remain kids forever. Sex is not a big deal, guys. At least not for mature people like me,” he says smugly.
What the fuck is this ugly bastard trying to say?
“Fufufu, I think it’s time to reveal it to both of you… I am not a vir—”
Suddenly, a collective gasp leaks from everyone in the auditorium and drown whatever Leo was going to say.
I look up towards the stage in a jerk…
“What the…”
Previous Chapter | TOC | Next Chapter
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.
“Do you really think it will work?” I ask, unsurely.
I don’t always remember to but it is more comfortable to talk out loud to my system. At least when I am alone.
[I already told you, buddy. I am not completely sure, but it is probably our only chance to restore the system to normal.]
“Aaargh”
I let out an irritated grunt.
“But to follow the black system and to do the missions every time…” I say.
[No, not every time. The black system forcibly tried to enter the mission section and the third poison into the main system by making you follow through its commands last night.]
[The main reason for the glitch is that you didn’t complete the mission successfully, buddy. I think to revert back to normal we need to experiment with these new things added. Though I prefer you follow the missions, saying no to a few of them might actually turn out beneficial as well.]
“Really? Then I guess it’s fine,” I say.
[But I must force on this; try to do as many of them as you can. Well, they all will probably be perverted things so I guess there won’t be any problem, right?]
“True. Well, that reminded me…”
I reach the bottom of the stairs and turn left to enter the kitchen.
I have already taken a bath and I am now in my school uniform… completely ready to go to school.
Right in front of me, the hot and curvy figure Layla is working on the kitchen platform. She is wearing a simple knee-length yellow-colored skirt with an apron on top of it.
Her curves are so defining that I can see the sides of her huge tits from behind
Ahh~ I slept buried in those meat pillows last night. It really was the most enjoyable and relaxing sleep I ever had.
[Lucky bastard!]
Fufufu… I know I am.
I silently move right beside her so that she couldn’t notice me and grab her meaty ass tightly.
“Kyaaaaa!”
Layla’s body jumps up from surprise. She looks back and sees me standing behind her.
“J-Jacob?” she says with a red face.
“Sorry, I couldn’t resist,” I say with a wink while starting to rub her ass lewdly.
[Fufufu… truly, resisting is no fun at all! Especially with an ass like hers!]
Layla blushingly stares at me for a second more before starting to work on the breakfast again… without telling me off.
And for some reason, she is also smiling and looking really happy now.
Well, I hope her smile remains after what I am going to tell her…
“Kyaaaa”
Removing my hand from her ass, I grab Layla’s shoulders instead, to push her body against the wall beside the kitchen platform.
I specifically choose this place because the refrigerator is hiding both of our body beside it.
I move both my hands and place the left one on her ass again while resting the right one on her soft and huge tits.
“M-Maya is in the living room, she will—”
I stop Layla from speaking further by crushing my lips against hers. My tongue also penetrated her mouth instantly to make this kiss even a juicier one.
I also start to grope her marshmallow-like tits and rub her peachy ass while I am at it.
After thoroughly playing with her tongue, licking her lips, enjoying the feel of her body, I finally separate my mouth and get a little distance for her.
Her beautiful face is red and her breathing is hard. She is giving me such a sexy look that I feel like eating her up right now.
But I need to tell her about that before…
I take a big breath in.
“Layla…I cannot be exclusive to you.”
I say while looking directly at her.
Layla’s eyes and mouth open up wide in shock.
“W-What?” she asks in a shaking voice.
I am not going to lie, this is one probably the hardest thing for me, but I need to make things clear with Layla before we get any further into our relationship.
With my first poison, if any woman becomes permanent, I can never leave her. It includes Layla and Rebecca right now.
But with the fact remains that my probability to die without multiple sexual partners is extremely high, so, I don’t know how many more women will be added to my permanent partners’ list.
“Layla, I cannot tell you exactly why as this is related to my system, but I can never be in a monogamous relationship with you… there are going to be other women in relationship with me,” I say in an extremely serious tone.
Layla is just staring at me as if she couldn’t believe her ears.
“B-Because of your system? You got that kind of system,” she asks.
It is clear what she means by “that kind”.
“I just don’t want to cheat on you, Layla. I would rather have you know about this before,” I say.
Layla’s expressions become a bit unreadable a moment before she looks up straight to me with a strange sort of determination in her eyes.
“Jacob, I won’t lie to you and say that it won’t affect me at all that I wouldn’t be able to keep all of you for myself. I also know I will be really jealous of it as well but…”
Layla wraps me into a tight hug.
“… If your system is like this, then it couldn’t be helped. I would rather share you with other women than lose you forever,” she whispers into my ears.
Suddenly, a tremendous relief spread inside me. Even I hadn’t realized the full extent of how scared I was before doing this.
[Man, you got a damn nice and understanding girl there…]
I know.
I separate my upper body from Layla’s.
“Tonight, I will make you completely mine,” I tell her with a mischievous wink.
Her face blushes again as she gives me a nod.
“It will be my fir—”
“LAYLA! I AM GETTING LATE FOR SCHOOL!”
Suddenly, the loud voice Maya interrupts us and our bodies separate from each other in a surprise.
We both look at each other with red smiling faces for a second more before Layla moves to the kitchen platform again in a hurry.
“Y-You both should have your breakfast now or you will be really late. A-And I will be really angry if you don’t eat well, okay?” Layla says while recovering a bit.
*Sigh*
I guess I have to wait until tonight…
[Fufufu… Don’t disappoint me tonight, buddy! Please fuck her properly!]
Yeah, yeah…
_________
“Why are you smiling so much?” Maya asks me.
Right now, me and Maya are on our way to school. As it is really close to our house, we don’t take any sort of transportation to get there.
“N-Nothing, I am just excited to see my friends again,” I say hurriedly.
[Why don’t you just tell her that you are going to fuck Layla tonight? Maybe she would like to join as well?]
Shut up. I will make Maya mine lat— I mean, just shut up.
“You are excited to see those creepy guys again? Jacob, you need to make better friends,” Maya says while shaking her head sideways.
Suddenly, she stops as if realizing something.
“I-It’s not like I-I care about you or anything. D-Don’t misunderstand!” she adds hurriedly.
“Come on, both of them are not that—”
Suddenly, something catches my eyes and I stop speaking from utter shock. I can see the gate of my school in front of me, going past which there is a woman in a pure white dress.
Though I cannot see this woman’s face, one thing on her body is catching my attention and is the reason for my shock.
“H-Her ears! She’s an Elf!”
Previous Chapter | TOC | Next Chapter
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
Even though I am not standing, my legs are shaking badly. My heart is also hammering inside my chest as if trying to get out.
The only thing I am grateful for right now is that I at least didn’t drink that can of soda before leaving from my house… or I would have already pissed myself.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Why the hell did I say that!?
I am basically telling her to shoot me on the forehead now!
Zoe’s earlier angry face has shock mixed in it as well now.
Even Lily is looking at me with her eyes wide open in shock. I guess even she didn’t expect me to say this.
Come on, Lily. Maintain your expression-less face or we will be busted!
“You want me to blow your fucking brains out? I would have never believed that a pathetic guy like you could try to rape his own girlfr— no, ex-girlfriend. You deserve to die after what you just did…” Zoe says with a twisted face.
If this would have happened before, I surely would have succumbed to this pressure and start telling her that it’s a misunderstanding and all.
But I remember Lily telling me that Zoe tried to berate me in front of her on things I didn’t even do… and that actually made me really angry.
“Yeah, this one refused to believe when I said that you guys forced me to rape her… Well, I just tried to do what she accused me of,” I say with a smirk.
Damn! I feel bad saying this even though I know it’s not true.
Well, I do need to create a bad-guy image so…
“By the way, you need a written note or something to pull the trigger, bitch?” I ask.
It is truly taking all my efforts to keep my left hand, which is holding the gun’s barrel, from shaking.
But even though I am successfully managing to somehow do that, the gun is shaking anyway… because of Zoe.
I can tell just by looking at her face that she is really pissed off right now. Even her body is shaking from anger.
Her grip on the gun tightens and I can feel death’s scythe hang closer to my neck.
Shit! I need to say something or she will really fucking shoot me!
“But I know you cannot do that!” I say rather quickly.
Zoe looks at me like I am some idiot.
“And why do you think that, fucker? There is nothing wrong with this gun, you know?” she says.
I give a glance at Lily to see her making a slightly relieved face and urging me to speak further.
I am really grateful that Lily is here, but she should really be maintaining her “Rape victim” face right now.
I that Zoe is looking at me and there is no one else here…
“Well, if you kill me, then what would happen to your gang, huh?” I ask with a fake smile.
Zoe speaks nothing but maintains her angry expressions.
“You need me to be the face of your gang in front of the king. And you also need me to keep acting in front of his granddaughter, right?” I ask.
It was about to slip out that Zoe that they need my help in Lily’s mother’s case as well but I remember that I shouldn’t know about this yet.
“Really? You think that, ugly bastard? What if I just kill you now and get another guy to do all of that, huh?” Zoe asks, breaking her silence.
Seriously?
“Don’t take me for that much of an idiot that I will believe whatever you say. How will you make the king believe that just some random guy replaced me, huh? And all the members of the gang start supporting him without any objection as well? Bullshit!” I tell her loudly.
Zoe says nothing to retort and just grits her teeth… making me gain some more confidence.
“Well, in a completely unrelated matter, the way you always threaten me and call me “fucker” or “bastard” and stuff really angers me, you know?”
I slowly stand up while keeping the gun on my forehead and level up my eyes with Zoe’s.
“… And what if in this anger, I… ehh… “accidentally” let slip the true identity of this gang to Chloe, huh? Or maybe… to the king himself when we meet next?” I say while trying to form a nasty smile on my face.
This is the weakness Lily mentioned before. I am in a position where I can easily come in contact with the enemy of this gang.
But well, it is a double edges sword with the sharper end on my side. Because my death would be ensured that way…
“You… You fucker! You just tried to rape a girl and now you even dare to threaten me!? I will—”
“Shut up! Who are you to tell me not to rape, huh? You MADE me do it the first time,” I say, cutting Zoe’s angry outburst.
“And I am not threatening you. I just want you to change the way to behave with me and we will be fine. You remember what happened in the meeting with the king, right?” I ask Zoe.
This is important. I cannot specifically say that I am threatening or blackmail them. I am not that naïve to think I can do that.
“What?” she says exasperatedly.
I give out a small sigh.
“You didn’t tell me about what I have to do in front of the king that day! It was so difficult to make things up by myself. I could have easily screwed up! I think the reason he made Chloe come along with us is because he was actually very suspicious.
“So, can you tell me why didn’t you even instructed me on the basics of what to do in front of him?” I ask.
I didn’t get to say about this before as Chloe was there but I finally could ask.
For the first time, Zoe turns slightly flustered.
“W-Well, you were… I saw your… Nothing! I just forgot to tell you,” She says.
“Forgot to tell me, huh? I don’t believe that in the slightest but still, don’t you think I would have asked you myself about it if your behavior was decent with me?” I ask.
“You don’t deserve to be behaved decently with, fucker!” She says while giving a glance at Lily in her tattered clothes on the bed.
Thankfully this time, Lily is acting like a lifeless doll there.
“I don’t care if I deserve it or not. Pull the trigger if you want to, but if you don’t… well, you better start behaving a bit nicer to me from now on. And yes, don’t expect me to cower in front of you as well,” I said strongly while unclenching my hand from around the gun’s barrel.
Fuck…
All of this confidence is from above, to be honest.
In reality, I am actually starting to feel a bit nauseous from the overbearing fear.
Zoe’s face is literally red with anger right now. Her hand is holding the gun so tightly that I fear it might get fired unintentionally.
Please don’t shoot me! Please!
“Valerie,” Zoe calls out suddenly.
Wait, why is she calling Valerie?
Don’t tell me that she wants her help to carry my dead body after she kills me…
The next moment, the figure of Valerie enters the room. She is not showing any particular expression seeing the situation here.
She came this fast? Wait, was she waiting outside or something?
To my surprise, Zoe starts lowering the gun as well…
Thank go—
“Don’t misunderstand. Even though I don’t like killing, I so want to make an exception just for you. But this will affect not only me but our whole organization, so I will have to comply with you… for now,” Zoe says while turning her back towards me.
Her angry expressions don’t get lessen even slightly.
R-Really!?
“Valerie, call Emily here and ask her to take care of this girl. After that, explain this fuc— man, the task he will have to do and drop him to his house,” Zoe orders Valerie before walking out of the room.
I look at the Lily again in relieve and get a small wink back from her.
___________
*CLANK*
I kick the soda can lying on the street on my way to the school.
Damn! I still cannot believe she didn’t shoot me…
After Zoe left the room, Valerie followed what she told her to and send Lily away with Emily (I was a bit skeptical about this).
After that, she repeated what Lily had already told me and dropped me home.
The first thing I did after that was to call Lily, and to my relief, she picked it up in an instant to told me she got home fine.
After that, we talked about what happened before where Lily praised me on how I confronted Zoe and didn’t back down under her pressure.
The call continued for a few minutes before we decided to discuss the other related things in school.
We will try to think of what to do about the so-called supervisor who will be coming in just three days to conduct my task of raping Lily’s mother…
I just hope we can figure something out something before the supervisor gets here…
Suddenly, as my school comes closer, I start to hear yells and screams of people coming from inside.
What is happening?
A little confused, I start jogging towards the school gate in a hurry.
“What the fuck!? I yell in shock.
In front of my eyes, many students are standing in a circular formation looking at a few guys fighting with each other.
Well, rather than fighting, I should say that a single guy who is lying on the ground is being beaten up by 3 or 4 other guys.
“L-Luke?” I say in surprise.
Yes, the person on the ground is Luke and the one who is beating him up is… Pig.

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.
Good Morning:)
Today starts the departure of the corps and Andy and Jeanne have fun together.
