4 Aftertaste 1

The next day dawned a very fine weather. It was beautiful and peaceful Sunday.

The moment she opened her eyes, the noisy little thing inside her head immediately scolded her like there's no tomorrow.

<System: Stupid!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid to the maximum level!!!!!!!!! I'm helping you rake in Pleasure Points by issuing tasks and you dared not complete it!!!!!!!! Why do humans like you have sound brains but is not always using it!? I know no human can fully use it but why can't you even utilize it at times that matter! I'm so angry at you! Stupid!!!!!!!!!>

Without getting up from her bed, she tiredly greeted, "Good morning."

<System: Good morning, your face! You are the stupidest and most stupid person in the whole wide world! Why do you even exist!?>

'What's the difference between stupidest and most stupid?' She grumbled.

The soreness from her lower body was still menacing her. Due to this, she had no plan of getting up anytime soon. Instead, she planned to think more of her life.

She breathed deeply. Even now, it's still hard for her to accept that she just lost her chastity to a random person assigned by a seemingly demonic existence. This point brought up her anger to the peak. However it immediately dispersed once she thought that she's the one who's actually at fault because she let a damnable thing called system to take advantage of her in her most vulnerable state.

"I'm really the stupidest." She mockingly said to herself.

<System: It's a good thing that you know. At least the increase in your intelligence last night finally kicked in. You finally managed to realize how idiotic you are.>

"I did something completely nonsensical because of my momentary fear of my debts and the unknown," she softly reflected.

The system harshly lashed out.

<System: I gave you the easiest way out. You accomplished the missions ninety percent so expect your stupid debts cleared since you already paid it out for money from someone else. The only thing we have to wait for is your newly found man transferring the money to your debt collector.>

She angrily retorted, "I left the person so I'm no longer related to him. Just treat that damn fiasco as a farce that never happened!"

Just having the images of her wantonness last evening, with her even holding something shameful in her mouth, was enough to make her embarrassed all her life. The mere thought made her cry again.

<System: Whatever. You are really weak and brainless.>

The system didn't add how the girl's delusion of severed connection was actually impossible because traces of her had been left everywhere. That drugged young master it had randomly assigned as the first coital partner of its host will sooner or later pop out of nowhere to surprise her. It thought that its host has a long way to go. However, the inevitable is her path to immorality and pleasure. She had already awakened to that kind of pleasure, no matter what she says.

<System: Host made a killing yesterday because of the accomplished tasks. Rewards are listed on the user's interface. Host is recommended to summon the interface.>

"And how do I do that?"

<System: Just say in your mind 'User Interface'. Duh. Obvious.>

She ignored the system and did as told to summon her records. With or without her eyes closed she could see the details listed.

....

Her mind silently looked away when her eyes caught the skill Lovemaking from the list. She's not stupid, not to the extent of not knowing that it referred to her skills in that damnable activity she did last night with a man.

She bit her lip and closed her eyes. However she could only resumed looking at it because the system nagged her to do so. When she checked, under the main tab 'User', there were actually several menus under which were:

- Inventory

- Shop

- Skill Trees

- Missions

- List of Partners

She firmly refused to browse the last one.

According to the system, Pleasure Points are valuable because it is the only currency that she could use to exchange for good items and skills. When she checked the shop, basically many items from cosmetics to weapons could be found there. Even nuclear bombs and missiles were child plays. It only depended on her whether she has the points to buy or not.

<System: See for yourself what you want to purchase. Warning though, it's better to invest on your body and appearance, so clothes and makeups are recommended. Bags and shoes should also be on your checkout list.>

"I'm just a student. Why should I do that? It's not like I would be seducing people from my school, right? If so, I won't do that. Sorry," she declared.

The system scoffed.

<System: If I were you, I won't be slacking off on gaining Pleasure Points because who knows what the future holds. Who knows, maybe someday, out of nowhere, an apocalypse virus will suddenly make living corpses parade around your backyards?>

Was this some sort of revelation or threat?

Sofony didn't know and refused to waste time thinking of something that should be only product of imagination.

<System: Another point, stop kidding yourself. You know how much your body likes what Young Master Gio did to you.>

"Shut up! Shut up!" She even tried to cover her ears but it's for naught because the damnable thing was directly whispering hurtful facts in her mind.

The system went on,

<System: You moaned nonstop and tightened whenever you want to climax, hehe, your body is honest. Hehe, both your mouth and body are only honest when you're being physically loved. By the way, the moment I got bound to you, your body was also reconstructed in a way that your tools were enhanced. You don't need to worry that your partner will grow tired of you.>

"Shut up! I won't be doing it with anyone anymore in this life! So just shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Her cheeks burning red, she yelled nonstop and finally succeeded on silencing it - though before that, it did its best to say how her vow would be impossible to accomplish ever.

Once she gained enough clarity, she went back to exploring her interface and shopped for some attribute candies and skills upgrades.

The prices of attribute candies started from +1 which costed 1 Point. Every addition doubles the previous price. For example when she tried to increase her 7 strength to make its value 10, she had to fork out 1 + 2 + 4, in total was 7 Pleasure Points for the increase. The first two candies she received from the system were odd though. Her intelligence and stamina had both increased by five. Maybe because those candies were from the starter's pack.

As for the skills, it's actually the same pattern except the base points were much higher. For the first upgrade in the grade, it only costed 50 Pleasure Points but also doubles every upgrade. One example was her Studying Skills which started from C+. She upgraded it three times to make it B+. The points spent were 50 + 100 + 200.

Now her stats looked like this.

....

All this while, the system was monitoring her actions and it was quite satisfied with the speed of adaptation of the host. However, it did its best to force her to upgrade the Lovemaking skills at least once. Left with no choice but surrender, Sofony begrudgingly made the accursed skill reach flat D and left herself a meager 424 Points.

<System: One more upgrade! It's your most important skill as an Immoral System host so upgrade it again!>

Sofony had enough so she yelled, "Shut up! It's good enough! Damn it! It's not like I would be prostituting myself so just stop!"

The system gritted its imaginary teeth in indignation because it could no longer budge its host to do another upgrade. It could only grumble to itself that its host was very stupid.

Sofony had thought of a plausible excuse. "Just be content with that, okay? I want to focus myself in studying so my highest Skill should be that one. Aside from that, imagine what would happen to me if I'm only left with very few points. Surely there would be many unforeseeable scenarios in the future so I have to be prepared. I could only stock up points to make sure."

<System: You indeed have a point. I'm glad at least you can now think of the future yourself. Unlike last night where you only know how to cry yourself to death.>

Sofony ignored it and then closed her eyes to think of what she would do from now on.

Maybe she should just sell the house left to her by her mother and then relocate somewhere.

'My father loves drinking and gambling to the point that he incurred a million credits debt. He ran away and could no longer be found. Now all responsibility is thrown to me.'

'The loan sharks will surely come knocking on my door one of these days.'

'What should I do?'

She really didn't know.

'Can I run away as well?'

'I'm alone so it should be okay, right?'

When she realized she's a student with records from her school and municipality, the idea only sounded stupid and she stopped thinking about it.
