But whatever this panel was, it didn't seem to care in the slightest about whether he was too tired for this or anything much like everything else around him.
It just repeated the same message over and over again
[Scanning Host]
But this time, along with the word panel, he felt a cool current run through his body unlike anything he had ever felt before.
It wasn't bad; it was… Good
Strange
The panel didn't leave him with this feeling and his thoughts for long, as a minute later the cool sensation that was running through his entire nervous system disappeared and a different panel appeared
He expected an explanation or another feeling he didn't recognize, but instead, all he got was
[Host is a disappointment]
Insulted, What was he expecting
The words on the panel were flat, holding no punches back as it analyzed and insulted him even further
[Hosts body is subpar]
It wasn't wrong; looking down at himself, he was so skinny you could almost see his bones showing through his caramel brown skin, his eyes were deep black like an abyss, and his short, ash-silver hair was thin and unkept.
[Hosts race is weak]
Now that wasn't something he could change, but even after insulting him, it continued
[The host is within the optimal age range of nineteen to twenty-five]
[Initiating Bond with host]
With those final words, the panel disappeared, and he lay down on his bed, deciding to just completely ignore what had just happened. After all, there was no way any of that was real.
It was way too nice to him afterall
But as if waiting for his head to hit the bed, the panel appeared again
[Bonding in progress 0/100%]
He could read it for a whole second before the count started to go up, and when it started at one again, he felt something he had never felt before
[1/100%]
But this time it was far different from the last.
Yes he was accustomed to pain by now. If anything, if it weren't for the fact that he had no friends, pain could be the closest thing he had ever come to one.
But the pain he felt after that percentage started to go up was different from anything he had ever experienced before
To the point where he couldn't even move his body at all, he couldn't blink or even twitch a finger, nothing
[27/100%]
The pain felt like one hundred lightning bolts were engraving themselves underneath his skin so that they could shock his very bones, blood, nerves, and skin
It went from his head to his toes, every part of him felt it, every part of him lived it
He couldn't scream or even let out a single pep just lay there in the dark as this pain engraved itself into his very being in the moonlight
The only indication that his body was still alive was the constant flow of tears running down his eyes socking the bed with his tears
[43/100%]
But the panel didn't care about his pain or his tears as the count just continued to rise looking to have no intention to stop until it reached one hundred percent
[66/100%]
And as it got closer and closer to one hundred the pain got worse and worse, and now along with this hot paralyzing pain his head also started to shake with pain
As blood leaked from his eye sockets mixing with the soft flow of tears that fell onto his bed
And his eyes wasnt the only place blood flowed from as his ears and nose followed not long afterward
The higher it got the more unbearable the pain he felt but it wouldn't stop for something as unimportant as that
[70/100%]
[75/100%]
[89/100%]
[94/100%]
[97/100%]
[99/100%]
Just as it was on the crisp of finally getting completed, he too was on the crisp of unconsciousness.
Honestly, it was nothing short of a miracle that he didn't faint or even die already
But he had a feeling that was due to the panel as well
Then just as suddenly as the pain found him it left him
[100/100%]
[Bonding complete]
[Hello, host, and welcome to the Anima system]
Unlike before where the panel would appear and he would have to read off the text as it etched itself into existence now along with the panel he could hear a voice.
It was sweet and soothing speaking to him as if it hadn't just caused the most painful moment in his life.
[Hosts physical condition has reached dangerous levels partially because of the system, no that can't be allowed, the system is supposed to make the host strong not hurt him]
[Host has been granted a one-time treatment due to systems part in his physical condition]
He could feel his muscles start to relax, his headache resending and the blood and tears finally stop flowing from his eyes.
But he still didn't move, whether it was because of the memory of the pain he had felt a minute ago or just the sheer fact that he had had enough of everything for today he just didn't move
But the system didn't really seem to care as it kept speaking to him
[Host would you like to see your status, you have a quest pendi…]
He didn't let it finish as he asked "What are you, and why are you here" which got it to shut up for a second before it started explaining
[I am the anima system host and I am here for the sole purpose of making you a strong host, making you complete.]
His voice was rough holding no emotion just exasperation "and how will you do that"
The answer came immediately, something he had never experienced and the answer was something that even if you gave him a million years he would never have guessed
[By guiding the host as he sleeps with the various monster girls in existence of course.]
"Huh, by sleeping with them you can't actually mean.."
[Yes i mean fucking them of course]
[From the beautiful snake-bodied woman of the lamias with scales so sharp, tough, and beautiful that when you look upon them the only thing that stares back is your desire to have them.]
[To the various illustrious and terrifying forms of the yokai, who come in all shapes and sizes big, small, medium but no matter what are still lust-inducing.]
[from obscure hardly known species and Cryptids to the popular legends like elves and vampires.]
[And even those that lie beyond the stars]
[All of those which humanity once called monsters, all of those they still do]
[You Sol VanHelsing the host of the Anima System will call these women beautiful, you will call them yours, as you conquer both their bodies and hearts]
[So get ready for the hunt host because just as humans need air, We Need Monster Girls.]
Before he could even respond to that it continued
You have been granted a quest host
[First conquest]
Lose your virginity by having sex with a monster girl

He truly was too tired for this.
