No rest for the wicked 2.5

“Really? So that’s how you’re going to be from now on huh, system?” This made me so awkward I had to follow up with a passive aggressive question, in order to hide my feelings.

“....Host needs to calm down and respond by yes or no to the previous question. System only has so much time to sleep...Maybe Host would need me to run a course on this peculiar subject of human interaction?” The hammer struck down even harder than before. Now all semblance of delicacy disappeared into a poof. The system really gave zero fucks when considering my privacy and emotions.

“...Yes. Give the damn skills. “ I mentally commanded. I was stuck for life with this jerk. My last shreds of personal space and secrecy went to shit as I reincarnated with such a companion. I could already imagine what would transpire in a few years…

“Ladies man (Description): Host is now a natural when it comes to attracting the opposite sex. Grabbing their interest and being a popular topic of conversation among females is a second nature. Making other men clench their teeth for getting it going with the ladies, making their hearts flutter and showing insanely charismatic demeanor is now your problem. Ladies men are loved by most superficial women and hated by petty and beta guys. As the skill levels up and evolve, forming involuntary harems and causing kitten wars will be a breeze…”

“Oh boy…” I cringed so hard that every last shred of thrill inside of me escaped.

“Inherent skill passive boosts (+CHAR*5+LUCK*10)”

“...This can’t be real right?” The luck stat growth was influenced by such an unsightly skill. And to such an extent? Now I got why I hated those type of people before. It did not come down to merit but to universal principles…Turning into an alpha male was basically swimming against the current while people born with such disposition turned out just to have it handed down. It was unfair but as it happens I was one of those unrealistic fellows now. I was happy but a small part of myself was ridden with guilt because I knew I might overuse this in the future. I died without experiencing that privilege so I was really likely to succumb to the temptation of drowning myself into the new experience called “romance”. In the process, a few hearts would involuntarily and maybe intentionally be broken.

Love was a fucked up battlefield and like every fucked up thing in life, warfare was not to be conducted with fair arsenal. As if it wasn’t enough, the system was now announcing me the functioning of my next lethal weapon.

“Smooth Operator (Description): Host can talk himself out of impossible situations. Breaking mental barriers, locks and restraints are your own specialty from now on. This skill’s use is peculiarly effective against the opposite gender, as you now can put yourself in shoes that do not belong to you. Smooth operators have inexhaustible repartee and always know what to say or do in complex situations. Host’s social skills are boosted in general, as he can listen, soothe and use the proper method to resolve and help people to overcome their fear and open up. Host is now a natural liar and master manipulator that borders sociopathy. The skill naturally develops as the host interacts with people. Inherent passive skill boosts (+CHAR*10+SENS*5+FUN*2)”

“This one appears to be even more mystifying…” I really struck gold when I chose the skiller path I guess.

“The last skill remains locked for now, System will have to go back to more rewarding activities…”

“Ok, thanks.” get going already. This guy liked to sleep a little bit too much. It was as if he was busy chasing hot girls inside his dreams or something. I’d have to ask the the sloth one day…
