Chapter 2- The Primordial Sin System (Revised)
Chapter 2 - The Primordial Sin System
Dave quickly gathered his thoughts when he saw his father and replied, "Oh, right! I'll get up, Dad."
His father, used to this exchange, said, "I've already transferred a million gold coins to your bank account for your weekly expenses. Feel free to use it as you wish."
Lucas opened the door to leave but added, "If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me."
Even though everyone feared his father, he was a good and caring dad to Dave.
Dave felt warm from his father's caring attitude. In his previous life, he had often been overlooked by his parents, who clearly favored his siblings.
Dave's family was very wealthy, as shown by his massive weekly allowance of one million gold coins. This amount could support a thousand families for three years.
With such wealth, Dave could live comfortably without needing to work until old age, thanks to his father's generosity.
Despite his father's indulgence, Dave had a disciplined upbringing, which taught him not to mistreat others and to respect those who deserved it.
His father's strictness shaped Dave's character, nurturing a sense of responsibility and a strong moral compass.
After his father left the room, Dave reflected on the heavy responsibility and privileged life he now had.
It was a stark contrast to his previous life, where he had been poor and often looked down upon.
In that life, his parents had shown no care for him, leaving him to fend for himself in a cruel world.
Dave's room was grand and luxurious, reflecting his family's high status.
Located in a beautiful palace, it featured rich crimson and gold colors, plush carpets, and walls decorated with historical tapestries.
Ornate wooden furniture, including a canopy bed and a carved writing desk, added to the opulence.
A grand fireplace, adorned with dragon and phoenix designs, provided warmth and elegance.
Dave stretched and got up, glancing at the mirror.
There, he saw a face full of charm, capable of making anyone feel inferior.
His fair skin glowed with refinement. With fiery red hair cascading to his shoulders and standing at six feet tall, Dave had a sculpted physique with defined abs.
His captivating sapphire blue eyes held a magnetic allure for anyone who met his gaze.
At that moment, he understood why he was called "the most handsome guy in the empire."
Dave looked down and sighed in relief as he checked his lower half.
"Luckily," he thought, "It's still as huge as ever."
Dave went to the bathroom for a refreshing bath. The hot water soothed him as he prepared for the day.
After his bath, Dave put on his school clothes with elegance.
His attire showed off his privileged status in the Dragon Empire.
He wore a crisp white shirt, perfectly fitted to highlight his broad shoulders and slim waist.
His trousers were pressed to perfection, hugging his toned legs.
Stepping out of his room, Dave walked to his father's chamber to say goodbye.
Even though his father is very busy, he still makes time to take care of Dave and reminds him to behave and not cause trouble.
The palace corridors seemed to acknowledge his presence, lined with beautiful tapestries and filled with warm golden light.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The carriage moved smoothly, pulled by a pair of majestic horses.
The mansion's diligent butler expertly guided the horses, ensuring Dave's journey was both comfortable and efficient.
Settled in the opulent carriage prepared for him by his father, Dave's thoughts wandered to the idea of having a system like the protagonists in the novels he read.
"I must have some kind of advantage or cheat since I've been reincarnated, right?" he pondered.
Almost as if in response, a metallic voice echoed in his mind.
[Welcome, host, to the Primordial Sin System.]
"Primordial Sin System?" Dave said aloud, his initial excitement fading into unease.
He remembered reading that systems often led to rapid growth, taking protagonists to the top of life.
But the name felt ominous like it belonged to a villain rather than a hero.
[Do you want to start the system?] the voice asked.
Dave paused for a moment but ultimately decided to agree, realizing it was still his golden finger.
"Yes," he replied, sensing something was off.
[The system is starting; please wait...]
[Ding! The system is complete, and you can now access its features and check your status.]
[Ding! The shop has opened.]
[You can check your status in your mind.]
Following the instructions, he said, "Status."
Suddenly, a holographic panel appeared before him.

The Sword Dragon Technique, given to him by his father, was an Emperor Level Technique.
"So, my stats are in numbers for easy comparison," Dave noted.
"What are the stats of an ordinary Body Refiner?" he asked.
"[Ding! Processing...]"
======

HP: 10
MP: 20

"Wow, the difference is huge," Dave said, surprised by the vast gap in stats.
He realized he could easily overpower ordinary Body Refiners.
"Can you convert my father's stats?" he asked, curious about his father's strength.
[Your system level is insufficient], the system replied, leaving Dave disappointed and unaware of his father's abilities.
While his father's stats remained a mystery, it was clear that he was incredibly powerful.
"Looks like I can be like those protagonists who fight anyone above their level," Dave thought excitedly.
When the system offered him the beginner's pack, he accepted eagerly, curious about what it would bring. The results were intriguing:
"[Ding! You've unlocked a new Skill - Magical Eyes]: It can see through other stats and illusions."
"[Ding! You've unlocked a new skill - Conceal]: It can make you invisible, costing 5 mana per minute."
"[Ding! The system also provides you with your own storage space.]"
Dave was then presented with an intriguing opportunity as the Primordial Sin System Roulette opened.
"[Click yes to get your first Primordial Sin]"
Without hesitation, Dave replied with an eager "yes."
"[Ding! You've unlocked your first Primordial Sin - Sin of Lust]"
"[You've gained a new skill - Charm] (It can attract and charm anyone with weak willpower towards you (-5 mana per minute)."
"[You've gained a new skill - Hands of Pleasure] (Activating this makes them feel lustful) (-10 mana per minute)."
"[You've gained a new skill - Dual Cultivation (You can absorb the power of a woman you've cultivated with and make her stronger)."
Amused, Dave commented, "Oh, Sin of Lust? Really? I feel like I'm the antagonist here," acknowledging the unusual nature of his new skills.
"Why the Sin of Lust? Is it because of my nature as a playboy? Really?"
His updated status reflected these changes:

At that moment, Dave saw the carriage stop outside the prestigious Academy.
