Checking the Rewards

[Ding!]

[Side Quest: Training Arc completed in time. Congratulations, host!]

[Upgrade Point gained.]

[Random Skill Card gained.]

"Nice!" Kaiden shouted victoriously while pumping his arms towards the sky. It was a close call. He had less than a day to finish.

He first focused on the upgrade point.

[Upgrade Points can be used to upgrade skills to have stronger effects. The increase in strength depends on luck.]

Simple, easy-to-understand concept. Kaiden liked it. Well, not the RNG part of it.

Then he turned his attention to the other reward.

[Would the host like to use the Random Skill Card?]

'Yes.'

The card began spinning around in his mind as if it were a real gacha opening in a mobile game. 

It continued spinning energetically for a few seconds. The card teased him with blurred images of potential skills—though he didn't really understand what he was seeing. Skulls, hearts, weapons, and all kinds of such art were visible but not long enough to make any more details out of them.

Finally, the spinning came to a halt, and the chosen card hovered in the center of his mind. A burst of energy shot out as if celebrating the selection alongside the sound effects of energetic drums. The art on the card was that of a happily smiling woman. Then, with a final flash, the card was sucked into his consciousness as if embedding itself deep into his very soul.

A message appeared:

[New skill unlocked. E-tier: Remove Her Inhibitions]

[Remove Her Inhibitions: The host can remove his female partner's inhibitions regarding her being filmed during an adult video shoot. The female in question will know that she is being recorded but will not be able to care for the fact, letting her act naturally as she would without the presence of recording equipment and staff.]

"Hmm…" Kaiden mused. He wasn't all too happy. "Most definitely a low-roll. No wonder it's E-tier. Unlucky."

It seemed that the system's skills were classed similarly to how the awakened people's classes were. They went from F to S, meaning the order was:

F -> E -> D -> C -> B -> A -> S

Whether this tiering also worked for his classes in this exact way wasn't something he could ascertain without opening many more cards, but it seemed at least a good starting point.

Alas, he didn't have much time to dawdle around. His Tutorial Mission was still not finished, and he had only a day to finish.

…

"Young lad, you are my favorite trainee, I'm not gonna lie," Liam commented jovially before releasing a torrent of praise.

"Each time I train someone else, I can't help but think, 'if this were Kaiden, he would've put in so much more effort…' You've completely ruined the joy of training casuals for me. I had eager guys work with me before, but they got burned out long before the first month was up. You, on the other hand, instead of lessening your efforts, asked for more hours from me. The fruits of your sweat and tears are also clear for all to see. You'd undergone quite a shocking transformation in a mere month. I must tip my proverbial hat to you." 

The muscular man finished his praise by acting as if he had a hat, which he grabbed from his head and put to his chest while giving a slight bow.

Kaiden wheezed from exhaustion, "Heeeh. Thanks! You are an amazing guy yourself, Liam."

Kaiden would be lying if he said that he didn't consider this trainer dude as something like a very casual friend of his. As for Liam's claims of his unnatural speed of muscle growth, Kaiden didn't know what was going on, maybe it was just good genetics. At the end of the day, he could only shrug his shoulders. He wasn't a fool who would look a gift horse in its mouth.

Kaiden said his goodbyes, showered, and then rushed home. It was time, finally. The casting would begin tomorrow, but first…

[Ding!]

[Tutorial Mission: Stop Being Pathetic, Plow Virgins For A Living! completed!]

[Rewards:] 

<1, Better access to the system>

<2, Random Skill>

<3, Life-changing decision>

'Let's go in order.' He thought, focusing on the first reward.

[System Rank increased! Rank: 0 - Worm -> Rank 1 - Wannabe]

[New Statistics Counts gained. These statistics will be used to provide the host with challenges he needs to reach to gain future rewards.]

1, Views

2, Fangirls

3, Income

[Views: A person isn't a star without amassing a massive amount of organic views. Each viewer can only be counted once per video/stream. Botting or manipulation leads to penalties, including system sealing if the host is involved. If done by a third party without the host's knowledge, boosted views won't count, but no further penalty will be applied.]

[Fangirls: A pornstar is just a sad piece of meat if he doesn't have fervent admirers! The host needs to go out of his way to appeal to female viewers/online followers one way or another. The methods used are left up to the host, but they must be genuine fangirls!]

[Income: Amount of currency earned from being featured in films, videos, streams, etc. Only income made from adult content is counted. Income earned through underhanded methods will not count and will be penalized by the sealing of the system. Currency earned outside of the awakened platform is converted at a rate of $100 = 1 Income. 1 Chronos = 1 Income.]

"Huh. Pretty simple. I guess I just need to become famous and somehow appeal to the ladies. Maybe I can have an Inst*gram account where I interact with them or something. Food for thought."

Kaiden shelved these new features to the back of his mind, focusing on his second reward.

[Would the host like to use the Random Skill Card?]

'Yes.'

The same sound and visual effects played in his mind, however, when the final reveal came, the drum beats were a bit more upbeat, and the colors more vibrant.
