"I could be a victim too, damn it!" Ben was willing to sacrifice himself just to prove a point.
[Congratulations! You’ve completed the Weekly Challenge: A frog’s kiss - Kiss 1 new woman who is attracted to you]
[Distributing reward: Stat Point(Random) x1]
[Assigning Stat: Knowledge + 1]
It was Ben’s first time increasing his knowledge. It was hard to say what was different. He didn’t feel like in the Matrix where the system jammed a bunch of kung fu information into his head. No matter how hard he searched his memories, there wasn’t any new broscience...He didn’t feel more clever either. Yet, when he tried to recall random information he’d learned in the past, he noticed it came to mind faster and clearer.
He thought about the recent classes he took. Although he hadn’t attended them in over a week, he remembered the teachings even better now than when he recalled them a week ago. Many details he forgot were now accessible. So you could say that a higher knowledge stat improved his memory, increasing the amount of knowledge accessible by him. The effect wasn’t exaggerated, but he noticed the relative difference.
He speculated it may be different if he organically increased the knowledge or used a Stat Growth Multiplier, since an immediate boost from the weekly challenge was rather forceful and under a condition where he wasn’t learning anything new.
Ben’s stats now looked like this:
[Looks: 6 - Not handsome. Not ugly. Not anything really. You just exist]
"...The coldest treatment is indifference." Ben wondered about this strange new emotion in his chest. Was he starting to long for the insults?
[Charisma: 7 - Charismatic. When you speak, some people can’t help but listen]
"So you know kindness after all."
[Social Status: 2 - Bring out the gimp. A serf. A human toilet]
...
Ben violently shook his head ...Denial...Shame...Avoidance. "Let’s move on to the next one."
[Seduction skills: 3 - If the current you reincarnated to elementary school, you might stand a chance of getting little Suzy to go to the dance instead of slapping you with that pizza slice]
"...She even knows about that"
He received an alert for a natural stat increase during all those system messages earlier, and now he discovered it was to seduction skills.
[Knowledge: 5 - Average student]
"Went from entry-level to average, not bad."
[Manliness: 4(3+1) - A little sugar in the shorts]
Ben shrugged. "Who doesn’t like sugar?" The +1 was from the system item he was wearing: Black Tungsten Ring.
[Communication: 5 - Average speaker]
"No improvement, but somehow my mood has improved a little."
[Personal talent: 2 - Why does a clown not even know how to juggle?]
"...I can’t say I never thought about it but now I’ll never learn to juggle." Ben’s only available revenge was spiteful self-destruction.
PUA Points: 350
Ben made some gains in the past few days. He also received several useful items in the Club Rat’s Fake ID, Black Tungsten Ring, and Lucky Clove Cigarettes, oh...and a propeller hat. Even so, he still didn’t know the meaning of the word pride. It was difficult not to be humbled with a system that berated him even when he made advances. Although his changes weren’t anything monumental, his stats were increasing at a steady pace.
He had his first successful date and kiss since middle school today. At last, he could look his middle school self in the eye, and not feel shame.
...Not that much shame.
...Ok, at least he wouldn’t feel humiliated!
Ben looked at the next weekly challenge.
[Weekly Challenge: Smile like a doughnut - Receive oral s.e.x...not from yourself...and from a woman]
"You didn’t have to specify that!"
[Reward: Stat Point(Random) x1]
[Completion status: 0/1]
Looking at this weekly challenge, he didn’t have many thoughts about it. It was close enough to his death mission that he believed one would lead to the other. So he left it at that. There was something more important to do.
Ben looked at the time. It wasn’t too late. Since it was his first serious date, he expected his encounter with Miyuki wouldn’t lead to the bedroom. That’s why he made a backup plan. Antonio couldn’t come out today so Ben decided he would go on a solo journey. He even had a special destination in mind. It was a place where he planned to confirm some of his conjectures about Domina and the system. ’I only hope I don’t run into a soulless abomination from the nethervoid...’
Ben was going to an S&M fetish club!
