Looking at the skills Alaric was a little bit surprised by the skills. They were practically custom made for him to seduce. Jen had really been his lucky charm today.
So hidden missions appears after fulfilling them , he thought to himself. Well if he had seen the hidden mission first he would probably have jumped some poor woman on the streets begging for her to be his customer.
He clicked to check his status growth.

Looking at his stats he felt proud of himself. He was practically a virgin but look at the charm and he had really aced on that. He felt like he could stand on top of the world now.
He shook his head trying to get rid of that . Jen had just been a lucky break since she had been depressed. But getting to sleep with an awakener was not going to be easy.
He took a quick bath after giving himself a dose of reality and left his room to go and see the outside world. He had not left the brothel since he came and he was practically a new born in the world.
He thought of going to a library but it was midnight so just a walk around will suffice.
When he arrives at the waiting area most of the girls were gone only Blue who was still playing music. That mustybe tiring. Well sacrifice for money.
Mama Martha was sitting at the reception desk dozing off.
She was old so he got that. She must have really loved the place for her to persist that long in the red light district.
" Mama Martha can I go out? I don't think I'll get anyone so I wanted to see what's it's like outside," he said feeling guilty about waking her up.
" Ooh sure, but just be careful if you hear sirens run okay don't try to look," she said her face all serious.
" Okay," he answered puzzled . Maybe the police didn't approve of sex workers or something, he thought to himself.
" Oh yes before you go. You are really a lucky child. Your client left quite a tip for you . The normal charge has been deducted and I paid Celey her money. Here is the change," she said sliding a card to him across the desk.
He smiled at that.
" So how much did she pay?" He asked playing with the card .
" Five thousand," mama Martha said with a sweet smile," that's premium pay for a first timer. You are really a talent."
Alaric walked out of there shocked. He just got that much money from sex , just like that. Not orgasming had really paid off. He had been bummed out that he had to masturbate in the shower just to get off.
If this was the result he would do that every day. He also didn't want to get any of his clients pregnant. He did not have a way to regulate his seed and that was the best way.
...
Walking around the red district felt surreal. Red lights were littered across the street from building s. Drunks walked down the streets some trying to cozy up to the prostitutes only to get rejected.
Other people were being dragged out from the brothel while others jumped over them to get in. He could see a group of three boys probably his age trying to psych themselves into entering. He laughed at that. Virgins.
He had been so cooped up since he came to this world. From the auction house directly to the brothel.
The system had not been much us in providing information except for the first introductions. It pretty much just never answered anything outside of training.
He looked at the different girls standing Infront of their brothels each braving the midnight cold. He wasn't much different wearing silk in the cold was not wise. He didn't have a change of clothes.
He started by eating food from different stalls, trying anything until his stomach couldn't handle anymore.
The food was basically the same as that of earth . But he had heard from those talking that their were places to eat monster meat and plants that were brought in from the dungeons.
But the meat and plants were so expensive that only awakened were able to afford it. If a normal person were to eat monster meat, they gain a resistance to diseases and increase their life span.
So most of the normal people always try to gain favor of an awakened just to get a taste.
He walked until he was out the populated red district and arrived at a fairly unpopulated streets. Since he didn't have a phone he was walking with out knowing where he was going.
Every where he passed he would get glances. Everytime it happened he would flash back a smile causing the lookers to smile.
He knew how goodlooking the system had made him and maybe a customer maybe among the people.
I wish I had a business card. Alaric though with amusement. Maybe he could print some that would increase his reputation.
He had been thinking about what to do with his life when he heard sounds. It was too loud to ignore. Sirens that were not police sirens but emergency sirens for sure. He had seen that in the movies.
EMERGENCY A DUNGEON IS ABOUT TO OPEN.PLEASE VACATE AREA SIXTEEN. I REPEAT PLEASE VACATE THE AREA.
What looked like military cars zoomed from the east up the street heading into the brothel area. People around streets run against him as he followed the car.
With his increased he arrived at the street only a minute after the cars. People were running out some barely dressed while others were naked. He could feel the panic in the air but he continued to run towards the brothel.
" Alaric go back, it's a dungeon," he heard a voice saying above the loud noise but he assumed it.
He wanted to see what a dungeon was even if it was from a far. He could see the the sign of the brothel so he knew he was near.
Running against a serging crowd was not easy. He looked down and saw dead people being stepped on. Probably fell and they never got up.
This was something he had never seen before. He looked up focused on the brothel signs that was near.
Seeing dead people was not an easy thing for a first timer , he could feel the vomit build up but he swallowed it back.
When he arrived Infront of the brothel he saw Martha at the door trying to close it. The wind around them had gotten stronger and the air felt cold.
His clothes were were torn and he could feel his t shirt flying off his body.
" Mama Martha, what are you doing here?" He shouted while approaching her.
She turned to look at him surprised on her face.
" What are you doing here? Didn't I say to run when you hear sirens," she said over the sound of the wind.
The wind had gotten so strong that he could feel it lift him off the ground.
" I wanted to see a dungeon."
" You stupid child," she said with a sigh. She held his hand and started to pull him away from the brothel heading towards the thinning crowd.
" Here keep this with you," she shoved a bag into him.
" What are this?" He asked taking the bag. The wind had gotten too hard for them to run in they were walking slowly now .
" It's some important documents. I want you to keep them safe. I'm old so my joints are weak," she shouted over the wind.
Alaric being stronger walked in the front taking direct hit from the wind with mama Martha behind him.
" So about the dungeon. How do they appear?" He asked just out of curiosity.
" The weather changes then..."
Before she could end what she was saying Alaric felt the weight on his hand reduce then something warm sprayed on his back.
He turned around confused but what he saw was something he would never forget.
He was only holding a hand ,most likely mama Martha's ,that was still splattering blood.
Before he could even react everything went white.
