First Encounter with Tristan

As Dave pondered over his recent gains from the starter gift pack, a sudden notification from the system caught his attention.

[System Alert! Host, important information regarding point accumulation: While interacting with women in this world and having sex, you will earn points based on their sexual satisfaction , strength, importance, and unique traits. The stronger the woman, the more points you will gain by advancing your relationship with her.]

[System Clarification: Plot characters and stronger women from the original series, like Rebekah and others, will yield higher points due to their significance in the story. Making progress with these women will result in special rewards, skills, and additional perks from the system.]

[However, the system also recognizes women outside of the plot. These individuals, while not directly tied to the original narrative, must meet certain mysterious parameters. If they meet these standards, they will also be considered worthy of the host, and interacting with them will lead to points and unique rewards.]

[For women who do not meet the plot or system-worthy parameters, you can still gain points by sleeping with them, but the points will be minimal only with carnal satisfaction and no additional rewards . For example, you could earn far more points by simply gaining the attention of someone like Rebekah or another system approved character than by spending time with random women. In short, the key to unlocking more power and rewards lies in building meaningful connections with significant characters.]

Dave smirked. "So, system... you're telling me if I focus on the big players like Rebekah and Aurora ,I'll be rolling in points and power?"

[Correct, host. The path to greatness is through the women who matter most to this world.]

As he was busy with System Lunch time was over .

Dave was summoned to the great hall, where the preparations were underway. The tension in the air was thick as servants scrambled to decorate for the upcoming feast. As he arranged the tapestries, a figure entered the Great hall A man with rich dark brown hair almost black hair with a calculating gaze that could cut through steel.

He was talking with the supervisor and explaining how the decorations and where things should be placed and estimated time till the guests arrived .

Which I got to know was just a month , Dave was scared as he still was weak and the Mikaelsons would arrive in just a month.

Just when I was thinking my work slowed down and I heard a voice "You there, boy," Tristan de Martel called out, his voice as sharp as his gaze. As he approached me he asked "Are you new here?"

Dave lowered his head,

instinctively bowing. "Yes, Lord Tristan. I was recently appointed to serve in the castle."

Tristan's cold eyes scanned him, lingering for a moment longer than comfortable. He said to Dave "Go fetch me some fruits from the kitchen".

He turned to the supervisor "See to it that the preparations are flawless. My sister has high expectations for this event." His voice carried a threat, and command .

As the nobleman walked away, Dave exhaled the breath he didn't realize he had been holding. "That was... intense." As he made his way to the kitchen.

He wasn't powerful yet, but he knew he had to play his cards right. Tristan and Aurora were dangerous, and soon, the Mikaelsons would be added to the mix. But with the system on his side, he had an edge.
