The next day arrived quickly.
Adrian slowly woke to the warmth of sunlight spilling through his bedroom window. He lay there quietly for a moment, replaying everything that had happened yesterday.
After their intense session in the shower, they cleaned each other thoroughly, exchanged soft kisses and caressing touches under the warm water.
Once they were dry and dressed, they spent a peaceful moment on the sofa. Natsuha curled up in his lap while his arms rested around her as a random movie played in the background.
They barely spoke to each other, simply enjoying the quiet intimacy and warmth of being together. But good times must come to an end.
Soon after, deep into the evening. Adrian accompanied Natsuha downstairs and hailed a taxi for her.
He couldn't help worrying when he noticed she was still limping slightly, so he accompanied her all the way home. Only after making sure she was safely inside did he pay the driver extra and head back to his own apartment.
Now, with a clear mind and the apartment quiet around him, Adrian finally had the chance to think properly.
He sat at the edge of his bed, shirtless, running a hand through his messy hair.
Yesterday was too chaotic. The fight with the soccer team, Tougou Tsuyoshi, fucking the hot nurse, and then claiming Natsuha completely.
But today was going to be different. Today, he could finally move his plans forward.
"First… is the business." He muttered to himself.
He needed to choose a reliably trustworthy person to run the love hotel, while he focused on his matters(like sex) instead of getting caught up in managing it, day by day.
Preferably, he wanted a capable, loyal woman for the role, but beggars can't be choosers right now.
To speed up his plans, Adrian intended to make full use of his Suggestive Words skill.
In the future, he wanted to shape every talented employee into a loyal and dependable subordinate, someone who would follow his orders without hesitation and manage his businesses efficiently while remaining devoted only to him. But for now, he would focus on just one.
He smiled faintly at the thought. "Yes, that should work."
Satisfied with the business plan, Adrian leaned back and opened the System Shop with a thought.
He browsed through the available skills for a while, searching for anything related to combat.
After finding none, he asked the system. "System, do you have any martial arts mastery or weapon mastery skills?"
[ Query received. No such skills are currently unlocked in the Shop. ]
"Huh…" Adrian frowned, biting his thumbnail. "That's annoying."
Remembering something, he typed gun into the search bar. A simple 9mm pistol immediately appeared under the weapons category.
It only cost 100 VP, and after a brief moment of hesitation, he purchased it. A sleek black pistol immediately materialized in his inventory.
"Just in case." He murmured.
He kept browsing and stopped at a particularly expensive item: Elemental Magic: Lightning, priced at 4,567 VP.
He had seen the Elemental Magic before but the price made him hesitate even though it's magic.
He wasn't sure whether it would be worth buying it back then, but considering his current situation, he finally purchased one under the lightning category.
Instantly, a flood of knowledge poured into his mind.
How to use mana present in his soul, shape it into electricity, control its intensity, and release it. It felt strangely natural, as if he had always known how to do it.
Adrian raised his hand and focused.
Small blue-white sparks crackled to life above his palm, dancing playfully between his fingers with surprising precision. He flexed his fingers slightly, watching the electricity arc and twist, obeying his every whim.
"Shit… this is cool." He muttered, eyes gleaming with excitement as he sat up straighter on the bed.
Feeling emboldened, a cocky grin spread across his face. He pushed the lightning harder and the sparks instantly intensified, growing brighter and more chaotic.
*KRA-KOOOM!!*
A sharp crack echoed through the room as a jagged bolt of lightning shot forward, slamming into the cement wall across from his bed.
A blackened scorch mark spread across the surface, faint smoke rising from the impact point.
Adrian stared at the damage for a second, then let out an impressed whistle.
"Fuck… that's actually pretty strong." He chuckled, genuine surprise and delight mixing in his voice. "I should've bought this a long time ago."
He tried again, creating more sparks and controlling them into thin arcs. The power felt incredible.
But after only a minute or two, a wave of fatigue hit him. His breathing grew heavier and his vision blurred slightly.
"Ugh… why the hell am I getting tired from something this simple?" he muttered, lowering his hand with a frown. "Looks like I can't use this recklessly in a fight. Better keep it as a trump card and use it sparingly then."
Adrian exhaled slowly.
"Right, I almost forgot about this…"
"Status."
A blue window appeared in front of him.
[ Status
Body: 24
Mind: 21
Soul: 15
Abilities:
- Pleasure Skill
- Suggestive Words
- Hacking
- Elemental Magic {Lightning} ]
Adrian raised an eyebrow. His Body stat had increased noticeably even though he hadn't done any training. Curious, he asked the system.
"Hey System, why is my Body stat rising so much?"
[ Answer: In this world, frequent sexual activity tends to contribute to physical strengthening. The more one engages in sex, especially high-intensity sessions, the stronger the body becomes. ]
Adrian raised an eyebrow. "So… it's like dual cultivation?"
[ Negative. Dual cultivation is the act of using life energy also known in xianxia as qi, from both partners' bodies. It involves uniting and refining each other's yin (feminine) and yang (masculine) constitution to push their cultivation forward together, or for the dominant partner to benefit more. ]
[ This is different. It is a fundamental law of this world. ]
[ Beings on the lower end of the Karmic Scale often called Villains, grow stronger through acts that align with their nature. Those obsessed with pleasure grow in stamina, sexual prowess, and physical resilience. Those who wield violence grow stronger in combat. ]
[ Beings on the higher end of the Karmic Scale called Heroes, grow through acts of kindness, love, and protection. ]
[ Beings on the neutral end of the Karmic Scale (0) often called The Favored or Honored Ones, are beings favored by the world and can grow through either path without changing their Karmic Scale. ]
Adrian listened carefully, his expression shifting from surprise to deep interest.
"Interesting…" He murmured, a smile slowly forming on his lips. "So as part of the Villain group the more I continue doing what I want, the stronger I become. That's fucking ridiculously convenient."
He let out a low chuckle and leaned back, resting his hands behind his head. It almost felt like the world itself was encouraging him to indulge in his desires.
"Alright then. I'll keep that in mind."
Adrian closed the status window and stared at the ceiling for a while, organizing his thoughts.
After a moment, he exhaled and reopened the window. He checked his current Villain Points.
[ Villain Points: 50,169 ]
His eyes widened for a moment before a bright, genuinely happy smile spread across his face.
"Fifty thousand? Damn… this week has been way more profitable than I expected. Nice."
Satisfied, he closed the window and continued organizing his plans out loud.
"Still, It sucks that there are no proper fighting-related skills in the System Shop though." He muttered and frowned slightly.
"That sets my plans back a bit… but I guess I'll just have to raw dog it and learn how to fight properly on my own."
He flexed his fingers, watching small sparks of electricity crackle briefly between them.
"At least now I have lightning magic." He continued, a thoughtful look crossing his face.
"Hmm… I should focus on learning how to use it subtly in fights too, just enough that people won't question it. After all, I don't know if this world has some hidden magical side or not."
Adrian let out a small sigh and ran a hand through his hair.
"Next up is… territory." He murmured to himself.
"Right now, the love hotel is the only real property I control. In the future, after I properly tame the landlord I should look into buying or making her gift this entire apartment building to me. Acquiring her should be easy enough that I won't even need to rely on Suggestive Words."
Adrian's lips curved into a faint smirk.
"While I'm at it, I should start getting more tenants under my control. Ayano and Takashi are pretty much in my hands already, but that's not nearly enough. I need a wider network."
He suddenly remembered something and opened his inventory. The hidden camera recording from Ayano's room appeared in his hand. He stared at the small device with a cold, calculating smile.
"I can use this to bait that supposed protagonist… Yeah, that'll work nicely."
Adrian leaned back against the headboard, idly spinning the hidden camera between his fingers as he stared at it.
"That kid actually surprised me…" He muttered.
"In the route I knew, the protagonist from the game The Married woman next door - Creampie sex beside her Husband was supposed to be a full-grown man, not some pretty shota. But here he is named… Hazuki Yuu."
(AN: Some people are asking about the characters origins, They're in the auxiliary named Characters… Anyways back to the reading.)
He opened his inventory again and pulled up an image of a boy.
Hazuki Yuu had a delicate, almost doll-like face, he had a soft brown hair that framed his features perfectly, large expressive eyes, and smooth, fair skin.
His body was slim and lithe with subtle feminine curves, especially noticeable in the way his hips and thighs filled out those short shorts. Even in casual summer clothes, he looked dangerously feminine.
Adrian let out a low sigh and rubbed his temple.
"But he's supposed to be a different protagonist, entirely from that trap × trap hentai called Natsuyasumi." Adrian muttered, his brow furrowing.
"The fact that he's not even supposed to be Ayano's protagonist made me realize I can't blindly rely on my hentai knowledge anymore."
He let out a slow, frustrated breath and rubbed the back of his neck.
"This world is alive… There are too many blind spots. Parents, other people, and side characters I don't even know about…"
He paused for a moment, eyes narrowing.
"Like that hot nurse. I still don't even know who Kanae is. If she's from a doujin or hentai I haven't read or watched, that puts me in a dangerous blind spot."
Adrian tossed the camera lightly into the air and caught it.
"Still… I shouldn't completely discard the hentai framework. It's still the best tool I have for predicting future enemies."
Adrian paused, his expression slowly shifting as another thought surfaced.
"Now that I think about it…" He murmured, a predatory glint appearing in his eyes. "In this world, even femboys look like absolute 10/10s."
He remembered his previous life. Back then, most femboys he saw online rarely captured his interest the way 2D ones did. But here? The standards were on an entirely different level.
Even a gloomy, plain-looking femboy in his class somehow looked strangely cute and alluring.
It was as if this world had a built-in filter, but normal beauty no longer felt beautiful, even though those same people would have been considered attractive or popular in his previous world. Only those who stood clearly above the rest were seen as truly desirable in this world.
And Hazuki Yuu was one of them.
"That boy has serious potential." Adrian continued, his lips curling into a smirk.
"He could easily become a top-tier femboy even without Natsuki's intervention. Though… he'd probably grow up looking relatively normal without the right guidance."
A strong desire to subdue the boy rose within him. Adrian's grip tightened around the recording camera, his fingers pressing into the small device.
"Yeah…" Adrian murmured, a dangerous smirk forming on his lips. "I can get him by Sunday. That's usually when he tries to eavesdrop whenever I visit Ayano's room. If he even thinks about using this gift…"
His smirk widened into something much colder. "I'll make sure he regrets it. Heh."
With his immediate plans settled, he picked up his phone and sent a message to Kurumi.
Adrian: Hey, something came up yesterday and I got injured. I won't be able to meet you this week. Sorry about that.
He unconsciously touched the bandage wrapped around his head as he sent the message. A moment later, his expression softened with relief.
"Thankfully, my health is still good enough. Even with this injury… I can fuck like a rabbit."
Adrian tossed his phone aside and stood up, stretching his arms above his head.
Time to turn his plans into reality.
=========
AN: Just something to anchor the story. Because I never did put my plan down. Also ngl I'm having a hard time in thinking about how to include traps naturally in the story... Hazuki Yuu will be the first one I actually put.
Also I might be gone for a week or so, it's our finals next week and I have to focus on it... Our teachers suddenly dropped lots of shit to handle...
