Apart from the pleasure of the sex, of course. That feeling was also indescribable.
I looked over at Emily, who was sleeping peacefully, a soft smile on her lips. She had no idea what had just transpired in my mind, no idea that she had just unknowingly contributed to my growth in this strange world we inhabited.
'Sigh.'
"Status."

Another row of notifications popped up.
[Ding!] Would the host like to unlock the system store?
Of course, I immediately focused on yes! 50 Lust points vanished from my balance. And the store unravelled before me.
The window blinked, shimmered, and re-focused.
[Ding!] System Store unlocked.
The panel splits into four shimmering icons, each labelled: Skills, Weapons & Equipment, Classes, Elixirs. I decided to take a look at the skills first, focusing on that particular tab. A long list started unravelling before me.
My eyes widen in surprise. There was a lot. And I mean lot of skills. I scroll through most of them. The prices listed in Lust points. I note that the ones I can't afford are greyed out.
A few of them caught my eye.
[Teleport: Teleport to any place you have been to before. Range depends on mana: ★★★★★★★] - 1 000 000 Lust points
[God Grade healing: Heal any kind of wound, bring back someone on the edge of death to full health, a long as they are not dead: ★★★★★★★★] - 10 000 000 Lust points
I draw in a sharp hiss of breath. These skills were godly, and astronomical. But so were the prices. 'How the fuck am I supposed to collect ten fucking million Lust points!?'
Taking A deep breath, I scroll back up, to look at the skills I might actually afford.
Frost Nova ★★ Blazing Comet ★★★ Wind Cutter ★ Tornado Vortex Stone Pillar ★ Thorn Whip ★★ Solar Flare ★★ Radiant Beam ★★★ Void Rift ★★★ Swift Step ★★ Blink Dash ★ ★ Shadow Step★★ Aerial Glide ★ Temporal Shift ★★★ Phase Run ★★ Mirror Escape ★★★ Phantom Charge ★★ Lightfoot Sprint ★ Agile Grace ★★ Flowing Will ★★★ Radiant Aura ★★ Shadow Cloak ★★★ Elemental Affinity ★★ Vitality Boost ★ Healing Aura ★★ Life Surge ★★★ Sacred Barrier ★★★★ Stone Skin ★★ Ether Shield ★ Reflective Ward ★★ Iron Will ★★ Curse Resistance ★★★ Poison Immunity ★★ Dispel Affinity ★★ Mana Flow Regulator ★★★ Soul Bind ★★★ Spirit Echo ★★★★ Time ripple ★★★★★ Gravity Crush ★★★★ Astral Projection ★★★★
The list could go on forever. Skills were unique to classes, but looks I did not need to worry about such restrictions. The thing though was that the prices were constant with the grade of the skills.
★ 100-499 LP
★★ 500-1 999 LP
★★★ 2000-4 999 LP
★★★★ 5 000-9 999 LP
★★★★★ 10 000-99 999 LP
★★★★★★ 100 000-999 999 LP
and so on. Well, I did not even bother counting the zeros on nine and ten star skills. Baby steps.
[Host can convert Lust points to XP to raise their level.]
"Oh, that sure is convenient. I Should put most of the points I have now into raising my level then. Maybe buy a few one star attack and defence skills for the selection tomorrow. better be prepared, just in case."
[Host is advised that one-star skills are basic-grade and ideal for initial combat adaptation. Would host like to view recommended options?]
"Yeah, show me."
[Recommended Skill List – One-Star Tier]
Basic Sword Arts (Active) – A fundamental sword technique focusing on precision and form. Cost: 150 Points.
Iron Guard (Passive) – Reinforces physical endurance, slightly hardening the user's skin upon impact. Cost: 200 Lust Points.
Quick Step (Active) – Short-distance movement skill, useful for dodging attacks. Cost: 180 Lust Points.
Energy Infusion (Passive) – Channel energy into physical strikes, increasing overall damage. Cost: 250 Lust Points.
"Huh, not bad. Basic, but solid." I tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Sword Arts and Quick Step should cover the basics, and Iron Guard will keep me from dying too fast if things go wrong."
Ding![Purchase confirmed. 640 points remaining. Skills integrated.]
"Damn. That's efficient."
The system chimed again.
[Note: Host can enhance one-star skills through proficiency gain or through direct upgrade purchases.]
I smirked, taking note "Got it. So the more I use them, the better they get."
I scrolled through the system interface until my eyes landed on the [Level Enhancement] tab.
"Alright," I muttered, rubbing my chin. "Let's see how this works."
[Level Enhancement – Current Level: 1]Cost per level increases proportionally to current tier. Recommended investment: 400 points for optimal progression.
"Four hundred, huh? Well, I've still got some points left. Might as well go big." I focused on the confirm button without hesitation.
Ding! [Confirming Level Enhancement: -400 points][Level increasing… 1 → 5 → 9 → 13 → 17.]
Before I could blink, a wave of pain ripped through me. It started in my chest — sharp, electric — and spread like wildfire through every nerve in my body. I gasped, staggering forward as if invisible needles were stabbing into me from all directions. My muscles clenched on instinct, heat flooding through me in waves so intense I could barely breathe.
"Gah—! W-what the hell!?"
It lasted only a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity. Every fiber of me burned, twisted, and then — just as suddenly — it stopped. The pain ebbed away, leaving behind a strange, lightheaded calm.
I took a shaky breath, hands trembling slightly.
"What… was that?" I muttered, wiping the sweat from my forehead.
[System Notification: Body restructuring complete. Physical and mana channels expanded to accommodate stat enhancement.]
I straightened slowly, still feeling the faint echoes of pain buzzing under my skin. It wasn't pleasant — but it wasn't without purpose either. Beneath the discomfort, I could certainly feel it, there was… strength. Real, tangible power humming inside me.
I flexed my fingers, feeling how my muscles responded — smoother, faster, like the stiffness I never noticed before had been replaced with perfect control. My senses felt sharper, the air crisper. Even my heartbeat sounded deeper somehow.
Appearance-wise, I looked the same, well mostly, I did note that my skin and muscles looked a bit more defined, but not much— so no bulging muscles, no glowing aura — but I felt different. Power pulsed through me like a quiet current.
"System," I said finally, catching my breath. "Am I gonna feel pain like that every time I level up?"
[Affirmative. Such is the price for power.]
I groaned, dropping my head into my hands. "Of course it is."
Then, a thought struck me. I looked up, squinting suspiciously at the hovering blue window. "Let me guess. It's gonna get worse the stronger I get, isn't it?"
The system didn't respond.
The silence stretched for a few seconds, heavy and deliberate.
I sighed. "Yeah… that's what I thought."
My brow twitched as I rubbed my temples. "Well, that just got a lot more eerie." 'I do hope it does not get to a point where my bones, soul or my very being gets restructured, I cannot imagine how painful that would be.'
[...] "Shit! did I just jinx myself?"
[...] "Fuck!!
Still, when I opened my status window and saw the new numbers glowing there, I couldn't help but whistle softly.

"Damn," I muttered, a grin tugging at my lips. "All that for just four hundred points?"
The surge of energy still thrummed beneath my skin — raw and alive. I clenched my fists and felt the quiet tension ripple through me, the kind that could break stone if I really tried.
Maybe the pain was worth it after all.
I noted that my skills had been divided among passive and active skills, which was handy to know. And my luck did not change, which was curious. The change in my charm was also miniscule, relative to the change in my other stats.
I probably had to thank the restructuring of my body for the small change. Okay, this should be enough to make it past the selection tomorrow.
I felt a mix of emotions— and weirdly enough, a hint of gratitude for the experience, excitement for the new skills, and a strange sense of protectiveness over the girl who had given me so much without even knowing it.
It was a strange feeling really, feeling that sort of affection for someone I barely knew, but she had given me not just her virginity, but a huge boost in my stats as well, though unknowingly. And somewhere in my mind, I was kind of looking forward to seeing how our relationship would progress, if at all.
I settled back into the bed, the warmth of her naked body beside me a comforting presence. The night had been more than I could have ever imagined, and I couldn't wait to see what other surprises this world had in store for me.
