Disgustingly Useful Abilities
—————
Level Up! You're now Level 10! You obtained 5 Stats Points!
—————
—————
You acquired a new Job's Ability from achieving Level 10 of Protagonist Job!
—————
—————
You maxed out a Job: Protagonist!
Your Job has changed to Harem Protagonist!
—————
Haru was speechless by his new Job. 'What kind of Job is Harem Protagonist?!' He retorted before calming down, 'Well, I have a hunch that this Job can help me with my love problems in the future.'
In fact, Haru had a love problem he was presently facing; it's his love for Sora and Suzuka. He was aware that his sisters also loved him romantically, but each one of them was a possessive girl. He didn't think that he could create a harmonious harem with the two of them if he didn't cheat.
Haru put his love problem to the back of his mind for the time being. He then accessed his Status Board to see his new Job's Ability.

—————
[Deus Ex Machina]
All protagonists are creatures beyond understanding that can break your common sense. They are hard to kill like a cockroach, extremely lucky as if Lady Luck loves them and always in the correct place at the right time for important events. This skill increases the potency of Plot Armor.

Haru gave the screen a deadpan. He was at a loss for words. Well, it wasn't like he disliked the ability. In fact, he loved it because of how disgustingly useful and overpowered this skill was.
After dismissing his Status Board, Haru then continued his power-leveling; he created exactly 1,000 mices before killing them with a mere thought.
"Huh? A mice only gave me 0.01 EXP now? What the heck?!"
Haru was speechless when he discovered how his EXP acquisition dropped by ten times. However, he quickly recovered and created 99,000 mouses before killing it heartlessly.
As for how Haru could kill those innocent animals without remorse or guilt, it was because he had adapted with killing and committing the act of animal cruelty.
—————
Level Up! You're now Level 2! You obtained 5 Stats Points!
—————
Haru dismissed the notification and created another batch of mices. He then killed it, then created another batch, and then killed it, rinse and repeat.
Haru discovered that the EXP requirements were increased by 100 units, meaning that at Level 2, he needed 200 EXP to reach Level 3, 300 EXP to Level 4, 400 EXP to Level 5, and so on, so forth.
When Haru felt that his stamina and mental energy got depleted by more than half, he took a break for a couple of hours before carrying on the next genocide.
After Haru killed the last batch, containing 900,000 mices, he finally received a Level-Up notification.
—————
Level Up! You're now Level 10! You obtained 5 Stats Points!
—————
—————
You acquired a new Job's Ability from achieving Level 10 of Harem Protagonist Job!
—————
"This time, I got a new ability after reaching level ten. I guess the next ability will be unlocked after I maxed out this stupid sounding Job, huh? Well, let's see what kind of skill it is!"
Haru accessed his Status Board and immediately formed a deadpan when he saw another stupid-sounding name with a disgustingly useful effect.
—————
[Aura of Harem Protagonist]
You can't call yourself a Harem Protagonist without producing the aura that helps you pick up lolis, schoolgirls, and MILFs. With this skill, you passively give off a presence that subtly influences your opposite gender; you will have an easier time getting their trust and affection. Your lovers will become more open-minded with the idea of sharing you. However, beware of the same gender because they will show animosity at you and act upon it.
—————
Dumbfounded, Haru was at a loss of what to do. Although his new skills seemed very good at first glance, Haru wasn't the type of person who actively chased girls or women who caught his fancy.
The skill also acted like an Aggro to males. He had a feeling that he would have a hard time finding a real Bro.
"Should I continue?" Haru wondered loudly.
He was wary of the next skill he would unlock at Level 20. If the unlocked second skill of the previous Job was an amplifier type, it might become a trend. He didn't really think that he wanted to have women throwing themselves on him and men swearing themselves as his archenemies.
However, if he didn't continue, his progress would stop. But, the most important, he wanted to unlock his MAG attribute to use magic.
It was magic!
Since he had lied to Sora and Suzuka about his past identity as a magician, he must keep his façade, or they would feel suspicious.
"Ah, well. To hell with it! Let's continue!" Haru shouted in resignation before continuing his mouse genocides.
A while later, Haru received the notification about his level up; it was the last level up for his Harem Protagonist Job.
—————
Level Up! You're now Level 20! You obtained 5 Stats Points!
—————
—————
You acquired a new Job's Ability from achieving Level 20 of Harem Protagonist Job!
—————
—————
You maxed out a Job: Harem Protagonist!
Your Job has changed to Fantasy Protagonist!
—————
—————
Due to unlocking Fantasy Protagonist, the MAG attribute now is available!
—————
Haru dismissed the notifications. Then, with a healthy dosage of trepidation, he accessed his Status Board.
—————
Haruka Kasugano — Human — Male — 16-years-old (February 5th)
Job: Fantasy Protagonist | Level: 1/40 | EXP 2000/0
Stats — STR: 0.7 — VIT: 5.8 — DEX: 0.7 — INT: 6.2 — MAG: 0.1
Stats Points: 165
Status Effect: Slightly Fatigued
Job's Abilities: Plot Armor — Deus Ex Machina — Aura of Harem Protagonist — Red String of Fate
Notable Abilities: Enhanced Memory — Mysterious Lottery — Item Box — Appraisal — Longinus: Innovate Clear
—————
Haru's gaze immediately zeroed to his new Job's Ability, Red String of Fate, and appraised it. Then, another smaller screen popped up in his field of vision.
—————
[Red String of Fate]
A Harem Protagonist can't be called True Harem Protagonist without the ability to protect his harem from all unscrupulous attempts on them. With this skill, all your lovers will become eternally loyal to you until death do you apart! You needn't be paranoid of Netorare and other trashy stuff! You only need to 'tie the knot' with your lover, who truly loves you, to activate this ability's effect!
—————
Haru, once again, was struck dumb by his latest Job's Ability. However, unlike his the questionable Job's Ability, he obtained for leveling his Harem Protagonist up to level 10, this Red String of Fate ability was really a godsend.
Although it seemed like a shackle that bound his lovers to him, Haru couldn't deny its usefulness. With this ability, the love of his lovers had for him would be lasting until death did them apart.
Haru knew that one's love could wane by the test of time. If love could last until death did the couple apart, such a thing like a divorce wouldn't exist in the first place! Of course, Haru didn't reject the existence of a loving couple who could survive the test of time, grew old together, and stayed at their partner's last moment.
But, those couples were only normal humans who lived a bit over a century if they were lucky, and less than a century according to the norm. They didn't really survive the real test of time.
At this point, Haru's natural lifespan was a bit less than six times a natural lifespan of an ordinary human; such was the effect of increasing his VIT attribute.
"Not all Job's Abilities are weird and questionable, I suppose," Haru remarked and dismissed the detail of Red String of Fate, returning his Status Board.
When Haru fixed his gaze on his stats attribute, he couldn't help but feel anticipation and excitement. After all, he had unlocked his MAG attribute. He didn't seem to care that his MAG attribute was pitifully low, only 0.1 value.
"Now then, let's turn the bullshit I fed to Sora and Suzuka into reality."
