Time to Begin

It has been a few minutes since I defeated that Monarch. I swept over with an immense heaviness after the battle, but I also felt fatigued by something else. A feeling of unrest and exhaustion exploded through my body all at once it felt like a knife was running along my body while cutting out all the unnecessary stuff.

Fuck…this hurts like hell!!!!!!

For the hours following the defeat of that damn bug I have been writhing in an immense pain while black and yellow excretions keep on escaping my body. Noticing this change, I quickly take off all my garments and throw them to a corner while I endure this constant change in my body. My bones feel like they are cracking a restructuring themselves, my muscles feel like they are tearing themselves apart and reforming together, and even my mind feels as if its being put through the works right now.

When the pain subsided, I checked my body for any noticeable changes, and I found that my scars have faded, my muscles had strengthened without the extra bulk, and even my skin looks clearer before. What the hell was this change?

I quickly run to the nearest source of water to check my face…and all I saw was that my face barely changed, but my hair seems a lot thicker than before. I am not someone who cared much about physical appearances, but I think I have become quite good looking. I can understand if this is for battle purposes, but something does not seem right…

"…'Status-Unique Attribute (Charm)."

*NEW* Unique Attribute: Charm

-Enhances your physical appearance

-Makes you attitude more appealing to the eyes of others

-Will maintain body to optimal physical condition

-Increases the progression of Physical Prowess - Stamina, Endurance.

Mental Prowess - Endurance, Composure; Technical Prowess - Concentration, Speed by 10%

…this does not seem right. The last two points are aspects to this attribute that makes the reward worth all the troubles I endured fighting that fight, but the first two seem out of place to me.

"…Hey Prime. What kind of person was this predecessor who had the Unique Attribute (Charm)?"

(In one word, Disappointing. He was only motivated to get stronger in the pursuit of women. From the Attribute details, his entire being was based on him getting more sexual partners. If you look closely, the progression increases that you can see are all related Endurance. I believe he once told me this was perfect for his goal of having many women in his life once he escapes.)

"…Ah, he is a pervert. Fuck…this stupid power! What is the point of an attribute that makes me more appealing if there is no person to appeal to!?"

No wonder this predecessor of mine died. He was thinking too much about the future and what he wanted to do. I will admit the idea of having multiple women is certainly an enticing idea, but that means jack shit if you are fucking dead! He was seriously that horny of a bastard to even have it reflect on his very soul! WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!

…it took me about an hour to get back to my base. That whole time was an awkward silence between me and Prime. I was quiet because I am still trying to settle down at my new ability that does not help in battle, and Prime understood how I would be upset at the idea of my predecessor's power. I risked my life for a Unique Attribute that was supposed to make me even stronger, but I got this instead.

"Prime, before you told me that I was ranked last without a Unique Attribute. How was this guy ahead of me?"

(The growth of 6 secondary stats for 3 Primary stats is incredible. With less effort, he was able to be a little stronger than you with just that power alone. A growth type attribute is good…but I take it that your disappointed at the underlying sexual meaning behind it.)

"Yup…this ability to grow 10% faster for those six stats is amazing. Endurance is something that I would like to constantly hone as to increase my survival and having a boost in concentration for my technical skills is always welcome. It is just that…all these abilities are related to sex no matter how you slice it."

I cannot look down upon a gift so much, but this is a lot to take in for an ability that I got from a quest. When I get out of here, I expect myself to now get a lot more unwanted attention from women. Being noticed by women is nice and all because I can at least remember my interactions I had with them in the past, however that also means the sluts and whores are going to come after me more often too. I would rather avoid those types of people because they give me nothing but headaches.

"…Prime, next week I plan on going out for a hunt on Blood Boars. I will be training these 6 stats in that time frame so help me out."

(…as you wish. Just keep up the work you have been doing now and you will be fine. Who knows, maybe you can find a group of women to have some fun time as soon as you get out of here.)

"Shut up Prime!"

This damn guy never changes!
