Dual Cultivation?

"Alright, Let me tell you some things you need to know" Dite said as she rested her head on the palm of her hand.

"As you may know, you were rewarded with a unique class upon registering in Raven Online, being the 69,000th. While that may be true, that's not exactly the reason why" Dite said.

Arthur leaned his head in to closely listen to Dite's reasoning for his class.

"Before I explain why, can I get a drum roll please?" Dite asked and looked at Arthur and Nyla

Nyla put down the pitcher of tea and started patting her thighs in a rhythmic pattern.

Arthur was confused but decided to play along.

Dite grinned and finally said in a proud, condescending tone "It's because I was the one who gave it to you! How is it? Feel honored?" Dite stuck out her chest.

Arthur blushed a bit and averted his gaze. Without directly looking at Dite, he asked "Why did you give me this class?"

"That I won't tell you, yet. I'll tell you next time we meet. Anyways, I'll explain a little bit about your class..." Dite paused a bit before continuing "Your class, as you know, is a unique one. "Cultivator/Dual Cultivator". This is a class I designed with the help of another person, but there's something you should know about it"

After looking back at Dite, Arthur leaned toward her to listen closely.

"Your "Cultivator/Dual Cultivator" is unique. However, there is the class "Cultivator" where they can cultivate, but they cannot Dual Cultivate" Dite explained.

"Dual Cultivate?" Arthur asked with a curious tone.

"Yes, Dual Cultivate. Cultivation is the act of gathering Qi into your body, or more specifically dantian. But! There is Dual Cultivation.

In this world, we say and use Mana instead of Qi, but it's practically the same thing, just a bit different.

If you noticed during your registration, there was a disclaimer that players under the age of 18 were restricted and banned from Raven Online. One of the reasons why is because of sexual intercourse. There are other things like gambling, smoking etc...

Anyways, Dual Cultivation is the act of obtaining Qi, or in this case, "liquified mana". You gather the liquid mana from your partner(s) through intercourse, in other words, sex. This is a lot faster than normal cultivation, so I suggest dual cultivating" Dite said as she liked the current topic.

"Uh...but I don't have a partner, so how can you expect me to dual cultivate?" Arthur asked in an uneasy tone.

"Arthur, let me say this. You're a very attractive male, and I don't think it'll be hard to find someone to practice with. If you're having trouble finding someone, there are many places where you can go~" Dite said while smirking, causing Arthur's body to jolt.

'Yeah, I don't think I'll be visiting those places' Arthur decided.

Dite sighed and said "Unfortunately, I think our time is up for today. As you play Raven Online, you'll come to learn about your class. If you have any questions, there are many people who can help you, and if it's something personal~" Dite licked her red, juicy lips before continuing "You can ask me next time we meet~"

Arthur tried to ignore the last part, before panting.

"Hah...hah...W-When will we be able to meet next?" Arthur asked.

"Who knows? Whenever fate allows us to" Dite replied as she saw Arthur's body turning to pixels.

Dite stood up and walked towards Arthur. Arthur wanted to move backward, but couldn't because his body was disappearing.

Dite leaned in and kissed Arthur's cheek

[You have received a blessing!]

Dite stepped back and looked at Arthur and grinned

"If I were you, I would start completing easy quests to level up quickly. Go to the tavern and ask for a quest from the barkeeper. We wasted a lot of time here. You're a smart man, Arthur. I'm sure you'll be fine" Dite advised Arthur as she tilted her head, smiling while waving her hand.

"Until next time" Dite smiled.

"...Until next time" Arthur repeated her words.

Dite could see Arthur disappear from her gaze.

'You're just like him, hehe~' Dite giggled inwardly.

....

Arthur appeared in a village surrounded by people. All of them were either walking, entering and leaving houses or shops. Some were bartering, while others were fishing.

Arthur took his hand off his cheek, looked around, and saw a lot of people with the same attire, while others looked a bit different.

Arthur decided to check his status before starting his adventure

....

Arthur looked at his stats and thought

'I have pretty decent stats. This is thanks to the 'Heavenly Tea' I drank earlier. I should be a bit stronger than the average player. But this charm stat is the highest of any of my stats, why?' Arthur shook his head. He wasn't complaining but found it weird.

Arthur looked at his "Attribute Points" and thought

'I'll save these for desperate situations. I don't want to put it into a stat only to need it for something else later'

Arthur then glanced down at his skills. He first noticed the Cultivation Technique but thought that he should wait until later before doing that.

Arthur looked at his 2 combat skills

[(Beginner) - Basic Swordsmanship (1/10): You have embarked on your journey on the path of Swordsmanship. However, you're still a newbie when it comes to the arts of the sword. To increase your understanding of the sword, swing your sword numerous times, or be instructed by someone who has a higher understanding than you. (Passive Skill)]

[Common Palm Technique (MAX): You have reached the max understanding of the 'Common Palm Technique'. Anyone with the same technique under you would never be able to take a blow from you. However, this palm technique is just common. It would be wise to find a better technique to continue your path of palm techniques. (Passive Skill)]

Arthur carefully read the descriptions of each skill. He was satisfied with the palm technique but was confused why it was already maxed.

'Maybe it's one of the perks that came with my unique class?' Arthur thought that this was the case.

Arthur understood the reasoning why his [Basic Swordsmanship] along with his other skills were low-leveled, but it was only his [Palm Technique] that was maxed out. It was weird but he decided to ignore it.

Both of these skills were passive because they weren't skills you can activate, just the understanding of the skill.

Arthur finished reviewing everything, then closed his status board. He started walking around until he could find a tavern, he wanted to grab a quest, remembering what Dite told him earlier.

After walking for about 10 minutes, he found a tavern that was pretty packed with people.

Arthur walked towards the entrance of the tavern, and he noticed he was getting weird stares.

Most men were giving envious looks while the women were blushing and gossiping with their friends.

Arthur ignored them because he was used to being stared at. He learned that he couldn't change his appearance, and he wouldn't want to. He was confident, so why should he hide?

Arthur walked to the counter where he could see a bald, middle-aged man. The man had a full beard with an indifferent expression. He was supplying customers with alcoholic beverages. Arthur called out to the man to grab his attention

"Excuse me, Sir?"
