Mark talked about his past, it wasn't much.
A broke kid choosing to give up on higher education for the certainty of cold hard cash.
The idea of blowing money on convention's to fill the loneliness was stupid. The idea of betting money on lotteries every paycheck was stupid however he did anyways.
The life of sleeping with girls simply because he could was terrible but for a moment he wasn't alone. Stealing was a instinct he picked up and it didn't help he was a natural at pickpocketing and sleight of hand.
He recognized it sounded like a excuse and maybe it was. Mark simply couldn't imagine a stable genuine relationship with himself in it.
He however was willing to give it a try, flawed as it may be.
The day past by quietly as he sat with her, he learned a couple things about her. She likes sappy movies more despite choosing male fan service flicks. She doesn't like men who are half hearted. She likes seeing a man rise up to the challenge despite knowing he will fail.
She likes cuddling nearly as much as sex. Mark felt a sense of kinship between them in that regard.
Mark eventually got up before asking-Any requests for Lunch?
Yuzuki thought for a moment-Tonkatsu if you think you can do it
Mark felt challenged, he didn't spend 3 years watching Babish tutorials for nothing. He vanished appearing over San Francisco and then reappearing by a store. Quite literally within a couple minutes he had managed to grab the ingredients, pay and leave.
His gaze focused as he followed the instructions with the precision of a veteran sniper. He paused before disappearing and reappearing with fresh Shokupan before cutting it up and tossing it in a food processor.
He even used reinforcement on the marinade to enhance its properties cutting the time needed by 5 times
Sustaining it was a pain however the ambient Ki was more than enough to sustain it.
Mark's gaze sharpened before checking the lard/ peanut oil mixture's temperature and began the flouring, egging and panko coating process before frying. Not forgetting to path the pork dry.
Of course given its japan, he did in fact make rice as a side.
His food wasn't glowing unfortunately however it was near exact replica of his mentor's teaching's and results.
Don't underestimate America's desire to steal and conquer foreign cuisine's!!
He confidently presented the dish in front of her.
Yuzuki felt a sense of defeat. Why was he more wife like than her?Cleaning, Cooking, and Money Management. She could only collect herself knowing this was hers.
Sometime later Mark was meditating outside before being interrupted by a bell-like chime.
Again. Mark saw the tickets, he didn't want much. He simply wished he had a greater physical base. RNGses, Chaos, Morgan Freeman, give me something to work with.
[Face your Fear]
+Bronze Ticket
[Harem King-Trait/Rare]
You are a harem king to be, your preffered partners are more attracted to you and society as a whole does not see a problem with you having a harem. In addition, your partners do not mind you dating others either, they might still have their own problems but the concept of a harem isn't one of them.
His calm state was destroyed. This is what I get for laying my insecurities? Mark took a breath and tried again. He looked at the platinum ticket vanish.
Rare,Elite,Elite,Epic,Uncommon,Legendary, Legendary, Epic.
[Steal 1 billion dollars worth of value in a single night]
+1 Platinum ticket
[Ace of All Trades-Ability/Epic]
While this ability is in an active slot your comprehension is massively boosted, you only need to read a book once to learn it completely, and you could imitate someone's martial art by watching a video. You could learn someone's martial art while you are exchanging blows. You learn and master skills at supernatural rates.
Mark nearly cried. The just witnessed his old flame pass him by. Unlimited Bladeworks.
That single idea and storyline that left him using that it as a twitter icon for years.
Did it hurt, yeah…
yeah, it fucking did.
However, that epic ability is what he needs.
