Nathan sat there, staring at the screen for a whole minute before asking, "Do you assign quests?"
[Yes, host.]
"And… an unfair penalty if I fail?"
[No, host. The only penalty you may face would be something obvious—like quests required to provide vitality for your brother. If you fail to complete them, your brother's life might be in danger.]
Nathan let out a small sigh of relief, only for his chest to tighten again as his eyes fell on his brother.
His brother's condition had improved a little, but he was still far from safe.
After a brief silence, Nathan asked, "So? What can you do?"
[There are four tabs available as of now:
> STATS
> QUEST
> SKILLS
> SHOP]
[Stats represent the measurable parameters of the host's capabilities.]
[Host's current stats are:
Strength: 7
Speed: 8
Luck: 9
Charm: 20 → 9]
[The average human's basic stats are around 8.]
Seeing his stats, Nathan frowned. "What's with my charm?"
[While you have the potential to reach 20, you have neglected personal care, which has lowered your charm.]
Nathan sighed. The system wasn't wrong.
His hair was overgrown, and he never bothered to style it. His diet mostly consisted of oily food and instant ramen, which had caused pimples to appear on his face. He hadn't worked out in months, and his once-toned abs were now gone.
Yes, he had clearly let himself go.
After a short pause, he asked, "What are mortal limits? And what could be the stats of the strongest or fastest human alive?"
[The strongest human's strength can reach up to 20, and the mortal limit is 25. The same applies to speed.]
"Hmm… alright, forget that. Move on to quests. What do I need to do to save my brother?"
He could figure out the other features later—right now, his brother's life came first.
[You need to seduce three S-tier targets.]
Nathan frowned, 'Explain.'
[Tiers defined how reluctant a woman could be when it comes to finding comfort in another man. In short, the tier is the resistance they would show to have sex with you.]
[Because your brother has nearly died, it would take three S-tier women to bring him back to full health. And that would be your first three major quests.]
[There are two types of quests: Major and Minor.]
[Major Quests have bigger rewards, and mostly you would never receive a time limit. After all, seduction needs time. However, since your brother's condition is not well, the host must seduce his first target within ten days.]
Nathan bit his lower lip, 'Do I get some help? I mean, I can't just get up and find a target.'
[Ding! The target scanning feature has already been added to the system. And as for the beginner's reward, you can choose one skill:
1. [Favorability window: It would allow you to know how much a target likes the host. Their current feelings for you and what action makes them grow fond or cautious of you.]
2. [Choice of words: Randomly shows options to respond to a situation which could allow the host to gain Favorability of his target.]
3. [G-eyes: Shows all the sensitive parts in the target's body which could be used to elevate their arousal.]
Nathan wryly smiled at the third skill that smelled like something right up a scumbag's alley. But well, he was going to become one, whether he wanted or not so not like he could scorn the skills.
He contemplated for a few moments...the third option does seem quite good however, before he reaches that stage where he could touch his target, he needs to carve his way into their lives first.
And for that, the first two options appear more reliable.
After another minute of silence, Nathan asked, "Can I get the two unchosen skills later?"
[Surely, host.]
Nathan huffed before telling the system, 'Then I choose the first one—favorability window.'
[Ding!]
[Command accepted!]
[It would take an hour for the skill to bind with the host's soul.]
Just then, the doors opened and the familiar doctor stepped inside.
"Oh, you are still here." Doctor Park asked, "So? What have you thought?"
Nathan didn't have to think for long, "I would take him back home...I want my brother to feel like home in his last moments." Naturally, he couldn't leave Dennis here, given that if the devil and the whole system thing is right, then Dennis would recover soon.
And that would surely shock the world.
That's why, he would rather have him somewhere private.
"I understand. By tomorrow morning, I will have all the arrangements done." Resting his hand on Nathan's shoulder, the man then asked, "Tonight, have dinner with us."
Nathan was startled, "Ah, I would be imposing-"
"No, you won't. Generally, when you come home to teach Olivia, it's just my wife. Let me offer you some hospitality as the man of the house."
Nathan was rendered helpless by those words as he said, "Okay, I will come."
