Dungeon Mark:
A mark on the lower abdomen that glows faintly when you engages with someone emotionally or physically.
Effect: Minor boost to Eros Points earned, small resistance against essence drain or fatigue.
So every time he had sex the mark in his abdomen would glow like a fucking torch.
He didn't even want to imagine the reactions of his customers to it. He sighed in frustration and then moved to the next skill.

He smiled at the skills , he had practically gained a lot of resistance to magic in this world where magic was everywhere
His grumbling about the mark was forgotten.
He decided to distribute the extra stats he had lying around. He regretted not doing it before he went to sleep or it would have been a great help to him.
He had an extra of eighty points. He decided to increase his influence since it had the lowest stats. He added ten points on there. He then added ten points to spiritual it would help boost his resistance skills .
He added twenty points directly to stamina he wasn't risking it.
He added fifteen to both control and seduction. Five on empathy and just left the remaining for charm.
He opened his status to check how it looked since it had been a long time since he checked it.

He had really improved this time. He pushed the system away with a smile.
Since he was in a good mood he decided to treat himself. The last time he had tried to go out had been a disaster but he wasn't discouraged.
He looked at the clock on the wall. It was noon so he had a lot of time till evening.
He took a bath and dressed himself. He wore black jeans and an oversized shirt tucking it in the side. He put on black sport shoes and held half of his hair with a hairband letting the other half fall down his shoulders.
He admired himself in the mirror one last time before he left while putting on a watch. All of the clothes had been ordered online while he had been bored out of his mind during recovery.
He locked his room and walked downstairs to the lobby.
" Het Alaric, you awake?" He heard Celey voice coming from behind the reception desk, but he didn't see her.
" Yap, I'm still adapting to the sleeping during the day," he said as he sat on a chair at the lobby .
" Don't try that, when you get famous you'll have customers during the day," she said as she showed up from the desk.
" I'll have the ability to choose during that time," he said nonchalantly. Celey laughed out loud at that, looking at him with a doting look in her eyes.
" Aah the young ones, always with those dreams, " she said clearly shaking her head.
Alaric could see that she didn't believe him at all probably thinking it was a pipe dream.
" I'm telling you, I'm going to make this place famous," he said again .
" Yes, I believe you, " she said rolling her eyes. Alaric decided to stop, he felt childish for even arguing with her.
She was probably saying this from experience. This was just like any other business, there were those that succeed, those that just barely got through and those that flopped.
He wanted to be among the success story.
" I'm planning on going out," he said to her.
" I can see that. You are not in silk today," she said with a teasing smile then added," Watch out for the alarm."
He nodded. This had been one of the things mama Martha had said to him. Hope this time it won't come true.
He heard a scuffle from upstairs and saw Bethany stumbling Down the stairs her hair in a mess and was only wearing a top that barely kept her breasts contained.
"Fuck , snake was hear again," she said suddenly her voice horse from sleep.
" Snake?" Alaric asked looking at Bethany.
" Yeah it's this awakener who's body is Soo freaking cold. But he's our best payer so we got to endure it," Celey answered for Bethany who looked seemed to be walking while a sleep.
" You've all been with him?" He asked a little surprised, he thought most of the customers would choose a favorite and stick with them.
" Nah the guy just picks the one he finds Infront of him," Bethany answer as she settled next to see laying her head on his shoulders.
He looked at her breasts moving up and down with each breath she took.
" You wanna touch?" Bethany who saw him looking asked pushing her breasts to his chest her eyes still closed.
" No , just go back to bed," he said adjusting her.
" Oh I came to tell you that Blue told me about the payment method you said. I contacted someone and they said it will be ready by evening," she said standing up and then stretching.
"That would be more helpful actually," he said nodding at her.
" Ooh I also forgot. I also commissioned for a website to be made. We will all take professional pictures today so be back early, " she finished talking and walked upstairs. He looked at her until her figure disappeared and he heard a door shut.
" I think I'll also leave," he said as he bid Celey his farewells. She waved her hand at him before continuing to do whatever she was doing.
...
Alaric arrived Infront of the largest shopping mall in the capital. He had done his research on the internet before coming there.
He wanted to try the foods in this world but also he had to do shopping since he had never done that himself.
He wanted to experience the high. He walked upstairs to the largest clothes store and entered.
A sales rep come running the moment he came him. He could see that she was checking him out despite trying to be subtle about it.
" How can I help you sir?" she asked him her voice professional and calm.
He flashed her his signature charming smile. She blushed and looked to the side. He looked up to see the other reps also smiling.
He was still as irresistible as always, maybe even more now since his stats had increased.
" I came for clothes my size, can you fgve me different types, " he said to her. She nodded and led him to a seat as she went to pick up different clothes his size.
" Here you go sir, " Alaric was startled by her voice. He had zoned out while thinking about the website Bethany had talked about.
" Ooh thank you, let me just go and try them, " he said taking the bunch of clothes and walking to the changing room.
He could hear whispering from the staff but he was too far away for him to fully understand what they were saying. Probably just complementing him, he thought narcissisticly.
He tried the clothes and most of them were to his chest and fit him quite well. Before paying he picked up different clothes for the girls as a gift.
He couldn't just go back empty handed. He paid for the clothes and left. He had spent almost an an hour at the store.
He carried his dozen full bags and went to the hotel that was on the second floor. When he passed there there's had been a lot of people inside.
The mall was a luxury mall so he knew it was pretty expensive.
People were looking at him, the bold ones were pointing at him as he passed by. Any girl that asked for his number he gave them since one of them may become a customer soon. The mall was for rich people
He was walking past a hallway when he heard a soft whimper. He stopped and listened but it didn't come again. He decided to continue forward assuming it was a glitch on his side.
It came again just after a few stops.
" That's it," he mumbled softly turned and walked to the hallway.
The hallway was dimly lit and was just a small deadend. At the far side of the corner Alaric saw a kid lying down. Probably three to four years old. He was shocked by this. Who would leave their poor child like this.
