"Whatever," she didn't bother me anymore and continued her meal.
I also calmed my heart and glanced at my hands. Indeed, they looked a little pale, likely because of hellfire.
"Ricky, what are you thinking about? Come on, eat, or the food will get cold." My mother also sat down with us after arranging all the dishes on the table.
"Hm," I nodded and began eating, but I couldn't help myself from looking at my dear little sister. She was looking exceptionally beautiful today.
She was like a legendary treasure box, placed right in front of my eyes. All I needed was to… no, that won't do. I shook my head, stopping my thought from getting degenerated.
I began thinking hard about what other perverted things I could do to get rewards. Of course, less questionable ones. It would be a big problem if I became strong, but everyone calls me a pervert; that would be disastrous. I need to protect my image, at least within my own family.
While I was lost in thought, I didn't notice when our eyes met. She caught me red-handed, and there was no saving. But I thickened my skin, broke eye contact and continued eating, as if nothing had happened.
Luckily, she didn't make things awkward for anyone and proceeded with her meal normally.
Sigh~
I sighed and decided to think about what I can do with the system later, or I might get blacklisted from my own family.
While I was still eating my meal, Emi was ready to get up, when I heard the mother's voice, "How many times have I told you not to waste food?"
"Mom, my friends are waiting for me, I can't miss the concert," she said, with a rare sweet smile on her face, convincing my mom easily.
As she stood up, I noticed that she was wearing a dark blue sparkly one-piece that should have been worth around 1000 or even more. Her dad was really biased despite us being siblings now. He only gives me a mere 100 dollar allowance for the entire month, while she gets as much as she wants.
I was able to see cockiness in her eyes. As she flaunted her dress a few times before leaving.
Well, there was nothing I could do about it, and she was actually looking pretty in that dress.
While I was done with my meal and about to leave, my gaze fell on her half-filled plate. It suddenly hit me; didn't I get my first reward when she drank the leftover coffee? What if… I ate her leftover meal; would it trigger the system quest?
As this idea came into my head, I instantly sat once again. I took her half-eaten plate and took the first bite, but no prompt sounded. I couldn't help but get a little disappointed, but still proceeded to finish her plate. Just as I finished, a familiar voice sounded in my head.
[Congratulations, Host, on having the first taste of your sister through her leftover meal. Rewards are being calculated.]
[Reward: Eye of Void]
[Perverted Point: +100]
[Forbidden Point: +1]
Hearing this voice, I instantly darted into my room, ready to explore this Eye of Void.
Coming into my room, the first thing I did was to lock the door. After this, I took a deep breath, preparing myself to see another ultimate power-up.
[Eye of Void: High compatibility with the void, which makes it easier to see through spatial rifts.] lv1
"Um… it sounds quite powerful," I actually didn't really have any particular use for it. It's not like I would be randomly thrown into some spatial rift. I thought, but then again, anything could; if I can get a system, then spatial rift didn't sound that much of an odd thing.
When I tried to activate these void eyes, I didn't find any spatial rift in my room, though I was able to see thousands of razor-thin silver lines spreading everywhere around me.
These lines were everywhere, as some of them even passed through my body. I felt like watching something beyond human perception. I didn't get what these silver lines were, how they worked, but they were literally everywhere.
When I tried to touch one of them, a sharp pain hit me.
These Eyes of Void instantly shut down from the excessive pain, and when I saw my finger that had touched the silver line, it was bleeding nonstop. The dark red blood was dripping down from my finger. I quickly placed a handkerchief over the finger and applied pressure on it to stop bleeding.
After a few minutes, the pain finally subsided, but it was still hurting a lot. I couldn't even leave my room with this bleeding finger, so I decided to take a nap to refresh myself.
Lying on the bed, it was hard for me to sleep with this finger. All I could do was stare at the ceiling in silence.
While my thoughts wandered around, I used the hellfire on my finger that was cut to see if its freezing chills can relieve the pain or not. And the results didn't disappoint me; in a few seconds, I didn't feel pain anymore.
My eyes lit up as I wondered what else this hellfire could do. I still didn't understand my powers completely.
I was really happy at this moment. My eyes stared at the roof above my head. I want a big house, a big room for myself, and a lot, a lot of money. This dream of mine now didn't look that far away.
All I needed to do was get a way to earn money with my powers. And then I will have everything, not just money but everything I desire.
