Chapter 14: Irresistible Charm

Prince Vritra looked impressed as he lightly rubbed his chin.

He was examining the new system feature.

"Wow, this Appeal Enhancement Menu is awesome. It has everything I've been searching for.

"In most series I've watched, it's a common trope that the villain is always more charming and appealing than the hero.

"But in this world, these heroes already have off-the-charts Fate Value, so they look like their post-glow-up versions right from the start. Talk about unfair."

Prince Vritra wasn't unattractive by any means, but he wasn't the most stunning sight the people of the Central Continent had ever seen.

Men and women from the Heaven Continent were said to be born with unmatched beauty, cherished by nature itself.

Luscious ivory hair, deep blue eyes like the sea, and skin as smooth as jade—these were common traits among the Devas.

For anyone else, you'd have to be extremely lucky to possess even half the beauty they had. The fact that they were also effectively immortal made many envy them──not only were they stunning, but they would also enjoy that beauty for a very long time.

... Sigh~

Prince Vritra refocused on his status screen.

"I can't believe they actually have an upgrade for dick size on this new feature. Like, seriously? Who even needs that?"

The young Asura crossed his arms and shut his eyes with an exaggerated flair.

"Only a total loser would consider using that. This system must have a pretty low opinion of me if it thinks I'd go for that. No way, I'm not stooping to that level. Nine inches is more than plenty, thank you very much."

beep! beep!

BEEP!

[Notice, dick size has been upgrade to 12 inches!]

A small smile appeared on Vritra's face.

"Nice..."

The young man glanced down at his pants and noticed something that looked like a fat snake, or maybe a curved cucumber, stretching out and curling around his inner thigh.

He gently patted it, as if calming a beast.

"Hmm, it's actually lighter than I thought. Not as hard to carry around as I expected."

A proud smile spread across his face as he turned back to the status screen. His excitement grew as he wondered what else he could upgrade.

[Current Upgrade Points: 4,700 UPs]

He spent some time thinking as he looked at the blue screen.

『These things called Upgrade Points, or UPs, kind of a clever abbreviation, heh, seem to be the specialized currency for the Appeal Enhancement Menu.

『The system gave me 5,000 UPs as a starting bonus, but they didn't explain clearly how I can earn more as I progress. Oh well, I'm sure that'll become clear later. If I use the points I have now wisely, I might finally be able to match Lumis in looks, which should help me win over plenty of heroines.

『One undeniable truth about women is that a man can treat them terribly and be awful in every way, as long as he's sexy. It's shallow, but that's just how it is.』

After thinking everything through, Vritra got straight to work, pouring upgrade points into every category he found. If something seemed important enough, he'd instantly hit the plus button and max it out.

BEEP! BEEP!!

The beeping sounds echoed throughout the spacious chambers as he focused entirely on his status screen.

Before long, he finished.

---Appeal Enhancement Menu---

[Current Upgrade Points: 600 UPs]

[Skin Texture and Tone: 20/20]

[Facial Appeal: 20/20]

[Muscle Tone and Definition: 15/20]

[Posture and Body Language: 20/20]

She wanted any excuse to see him.

『Honestly... what's wrong with me. You're a grown woman, Esmeralda. Old enough to be someone's mother... act like it.』

When the bathroom door pushed open, Esmeralda nervously took a few steps back.

God Vritra emerged from the bathroom wearing just a towel around his waist. His lean, muscular body was covered in water that trickled down his defined chest and V-cut abs.

"G-, God..."

Esmeralda couldn't tear her eyes away from him.

Her cheeks gradually grew red, and her eyes widened the longer she stared at him.

She couldn't believe this was the same person as before.

Her legs felt weaker and weaker, and soon her her little pink garden was in the same predicament as Vritra's body.

It was wet.

Her undies had experienced a serious crisis.

『I'm leaking... but I can't just bend down and wipe myself』

Could she?

『No... not in front of God Vritra.』

While Esmeralda was wet and dripping like a leaky faucet, she didn't think it was that big of a deal. The only way Prince Vritra would be able to tell was if he could smell her arousal or if he forcefully parted her legs open to see the kind of mess she'd made in her underwear.

It was damp and sticky.

She knew that if she didn't control herself, her female honey would soon be crawling down her warm inner thighs.

God Vritra smiled at her and Esmeralda gasped a bit.

『Good, it's working perfectly.』

But he didn't need her actions to tell.

[Your target, Esmeralda, has gotten turned on by you. Her affection for you has increased by 50 points!]

[Esmeralda's affection for you has increased by 80 points!]

[Your target has reached maximum affection!]

[Esmeralda's affection for you has greatly increased by another 100 points!]

[Esmeralda's panties are soaked because of you. She has developed another 100 Affection Points for you!]

[Your looks have arrested Esmeralda's mind. Your body is all she can think about: +150 Affection Points!]

[Current Affection for You: 715/300]

Vritra was fighting not to break character.

He badly wanted to praise himself in the most expressive way possible, but chose to conceal his excitement.

"Is everything alright, Esme~"

The moment Vritra's deep, smooth voice reached Esmeralda's ears, her knees went weak, and she lost control of herself.

"Ohhhn~♡!"

A loud squirting sound was heard as she stumbled from her usual graceful stance.

『There it is!』

In an instant, Vritra appeared behind her, holding her waist and deliberately grabbing one of her full, pudgy buttocks. His fingers pressed into it, causing Esmeralda's body to jerk as her slobbery tongue stretched out and she moaned loudly.

KYAAAUUUNN~~♡♡!

Her underwear kept getting wetter and wetter, to the point where it felt like it was about to dissolve like paper soaked completely in water.

『Oh no~ m-, my body gave out to his voice...』

She could already feel her sweet honey trickling down from her thighs to the back of her knees.
