Chapter 172: Level up!!

Zafron walked along the dimly lit street, his house still a distant silhouette against the night sky. With the enforcers patrolling these ends more often, walking home was safer. He ran past a group of them but they neither bothered him nor pay attention to him and that was probably because of the huge grin plastered on his face and the skips in his steps like one of those disney princesses.Suddenly, an unexpected notification flashed across his invisible system screen:

--Congratulations, Host Zafron!--

--You have successfully acquired the XX virus and unlocked new potentials.--

--Your Potency Level has increased from 3 to 5!--

Zafron's steps faltered, his eyes widening as he absorbed the information. 'So this is the result of acquiring Cassandra's powers,' he thought, a mix of excitement and apprehension coursing through him.

He had planned to check it out once he got home and settled down but the system notification just kept on coming back. Finally, he gave into the temptation. He couldn't wait any longer, it was time to unwrap the present!!

The system continued to display his upgrades:

Zafron slowed his pace, careful not to bump into the few passersby on the quiet street. "Calista," he called out softly, "I need to see my full updated profile."

[Certainly, my lord. Displaying your updated profile now.]

Zafron's brow furrowed as he processed the information, his gaze fixed on the screen as he continued walking. 'A jump from level 3 to 5... and these attribute boosts are substantial,' he thought, his mind racing with possibilities.

"Calista, can you give me more details about what this increase in Potency Level means practically?" Zafron asked, his voice low as he passed under a streetlamp.

[Congratulations, my lord! Your Potency Level has increased from 3 to 5, representing a significant enhancement in both your magical and physical capabilities. This boost not only amplifies your stamina and performance but also enhances your ability to harness and manipulate magical energies.

You'll find that your sexual prowess and the effectiveness of tasks assigned by the Eros Vitality System are now greatly improved.]

Zafron nodded, absently sidestepping a puddle on the sidewalk. "And these new abilities and skills mentioned – what can you tell me about those?"

[My lord, with your increased Potency Level, you now have access to enhanced magical abilities and improved physical attributes. These improvements include greater stamina, increased efficiency in harnessing and manipulating magical energies, and a significant boost in your sexual prowess and overall physical performance.

Additionally, you may find that your interactions with the Eros Vitality System and other related tasks become more effective. Would you like a detailed list of the specific abilities and skills you've gained?]

"Not right now," Zafron replied, glancing around to ensure no one was within earshot. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this. What about these increases in my Eros attributes? That seems... unexpected."

[My lord, the enhancements to your Eros attributes signify improved reproductive health, increased pheromone production, and heightened overall virility. These changes may affect your interactions with potential mates and your overall reproductive capabilities. The XX virus you acquired seems to have had a holistic effect on your physiology.]

Zafron felt a flush creep up his neck, grateful for the cover of darkness. "I see. And the XY virus resistance – that's improved as well?"

[Indeed, my lord. Your resistance to the XY virus has improved from 35% to 50%. This enhanced resistance reduces the impact of the virus on your potency, making it less likely to deplete your vitality and effectiveness. This will be especially beneficial as you continue to leverage your increased abilities and face new challenges.]

Pausing at a crosswalk, Zafron took a deep breath. "Calista, are there any immediate effects or risks I should be aware of?"

[My lord, while the changes are significant, they should not pose any immediate risk to your health. However, I recommend taking some time to acclimate to your enhanced abilities. You may experience increased energy levels, heightened sensory perception, and potentially stronger emotional responses as your body adjusts.]

As the light changed, Zafron crossed the street, his house now visible in the distance. "Understood. Can you run a quick check on my current state? I want to ensure everything's stable."

[Certainly, my lord. Initiating full-body scan now.]

A soft blue light emanated from Zafron's system interface, sweeping over his body as he walked. No one else could see this except for Zafron and even then it was very brief. This of course hadn't occured before but it seemed as though he wasn't the only one leveling up, the system too was upgrading or perhaps opening more doors to him. After a few moments, Calista's voice chimed in.

[Scan complete, my lord. All systems are functioning within normal parameters, albeit at significantly enhanced levels. Your body is adapting well to the changes, and no anomalies have been detected.]

Zafron let out a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear. Now, about these new abilities – you mentioned energy manipulation. How do I access this?"

[My lord, accessing these new abilities typically requires focused intent and practice. I suggest starting with simple exercises to familiarize yourself with your enhanced energy control. Would you like me to guide you through a basic technique?]

"Not tonight, Calista," Zafron replied, his house growing closer with each step. "I think I need some time to process all this. But tomorrow, first thing."

[As you wish, my lord. I'll prepare a suitable training regimen for the morning.]

'This is a lot to take in,' Zafron thought, his gaze fixed on his approaching home. 'These changes... they'll affect everything – my work, my relationships, my future.'

"Calista, set a reminder for me to look into this better in the morning. I can't exactly focus right now. I'm a bit tired and I want to make sure I'm using these new abilities to their fullness."

[Reminder set, my lord. I commend your thoughtful approach to these changes.]

The events of the evening played through his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder what the future held. With these new abilities and enhanced attributes, his life was bound to change in ways he couldn't yet imagine.

'Whatever comes next,' he thought, a mixture of excitement and determination welling up inside him, 'I'll face it head-on. This is just the beginning of a new chapter.'
