[NTL Enthusiast][Purifier][Likes Basketball][Sunny and Cheerful][Mother-in-Law Killer]
(Notice: Because the player skill is a fixed selection, player traits cannot be refreshed!)
"Hm?"
When Kurose Akira saw the five traits that popped up, he fell into deep thought.
He hadn't expected that he could actually add traits to himself.
From the current situation, it seemed that trait selection only appeared when a player's evaluation rank increased. Other players could also gain player skills at this stage, but their skills were fixed—and all perfectly serious. Things like boosting personal attributes or providing buffs to guild members.
But Akira's traits…
They were a bit too frivolous, weren't they?
Mother-in-Law Killer—what the hell was that supposed to be? How many mothers-in-law were there even supposed to be to "conquer"?
And NTL Enthusiast was even more outrageous!
Was this some kind of adult novel site?
This was a legitimate game system!
And most—most—importantly…
It couldn't even be refreshed!
He had to choose two traits out of[NTL Enthusiast][Purifier][Likes Basketball][Sunny and Cheerful][Mother-in-Law Killer].
How was he supposed to choose?!
A normal person definitely wouldn't pick Likes Basketball, right?
And the other four were all equally cryptic!
No matter how you chose, it felt weird!
After thinking it over for quite some time, Akira finally made his decision.
Your selected trait combination is:[Sunny and Cheerful Mother-in-Law Killer]
The reason Akira still chose Mother-in-Law Killer was because he suspected it might have some interesting applications in the future.
For example—
A certain mythical succubus.
After all, he had already decided to go all-in on Idis. Wouldn't it make sense to get on her good side?
[Mother-in-Law Killer: Your attraction toward mature women increases! Special effectiveness increased! This effect gains additional bonuses against targets with higher (Age, Charm) values, and is doubled against "Mother-in-Law" units. (Effect stacks infinitely.)]
"Just as I thought—completely unserious. Not even a shred of direct combat power," Akira sighed. Fortunately, he still had another trait…
[Sunny and Cheerful: You shine and radiate like the sun! Localized temperature increases by 0–666°C. Negative emotions cannot affect your mental state.]
"…Huh?"
Akira completely lost his composure in that instant.
He thought he'd picked something relatively normal—but reality proved otherwise.
Good grief.
Were all the traits you could add to yourself just a pile of nonsense?
Damn it!
What kind of garbage is this—why does it understand me so well?!
"Localized… glowing?"
Suddenly curious, Akira lowered his head and gently parted the clouds—
"Holy shit! It really glows!"
Cough, cough!
He absolutely couldn't let Ivsha find out about this, or he wouldn't make it to his appointment on time!
"Ivsha, we should get going," Akira said quickly as he stood up, preparing to head to the church.
Before leaving, his gaze briefly landed on the green recruitment scroll lying quietly on the guild counter. He decided he'd deal with recruitment after he got back—assuming he returned safely tonight.
"Okay~" Ivsha replied softly, following behind him.
Just before stepping into the teleportation gate, Akira turned to Loserine and said, "I'll leave the Silverflame Phoenix Butterfly to you. If it gets hungry, just feed it some… uh… use your judgment."
As soon as he finished speaking, Akira hurried into the teleportation array. White light flared instantly, and his figure vanished in the blink of an eye.
Only Loserine remained behind.
She glanced at the Silverflame Phoenix Butterfly flitting around the guild hall and shrugged lightly, her expression calm and indifferent.
With a casual flick of her skeletal finger, a thread of magic danced into the air.
Sensing the presence of food, the Silverflame Phoenix Butterfly excitedly followed the magic thread, extending its slender, flame-woven proboscis and slowly consuming the magic bit by bit.
Seeing this, Loserine lost interest. She picked up a newspaper, crossed her legs, and began enjoying her leisure time.
In the blink of an eye, Akira arrived at Ivsha's church.
Night had already fallen, dyeing the sky a deep blue-black. Inside the church, the nuns were holding their evening prayers, their voices harmonious and devout.
At the entrance stood Sister Moran, waiting alone.
"Sister Moran…" Ivsha stepped forward to speak, but Moran stopped her.
"Ivsha, everyone has gone to evening prayer. You should go as well," Sister Moran said coldly.
"Alright," Ivsha replied simply, saying no more as she quietly entered the church.
Once Ivsha's figure disappeared beyond the doorway, Sister Moran immediately turned to Akira.
"Let's go. Master is waiting for you."
"…Mm."
Akira responded softly and followed her toward the church's rear garden.
"Go on in."
"Understood."
Akira nodded slightly and stepped deeper into the garden.
What came into view was an exquisite stone pavilion. Inside it, Lady Idis sat quietly, savoring a cup of red tea, her demeanor relaxed and composed.
"I've come as agreed, Lady Idis," Akira said softly as he approached.
"You're finally here," Idis said with a faint smile as she stood up. She wore a vivid crimson dress that clung to her voluptuous figure, its curves enough to stir endless imagination.
Akira even noticed that the spot where she had been sitting was marked with a faint, damp imprint—clear evidence that she had been waiting there for quite some time.
"Please, have a seat."
After they sat down, Idis flicked her finger lightly, and the teapot automatically poured a cup of red tea for Akira.
He lifted the cup and took a small sip.
Instantly, a rich, mellow fragrance spread throughout his mouth.
Mm!
As the tea flowed across his lips and teeth, it felt as though countless tiny spirits were dancing on his tongue. At that moment, a faint glimmer flashed through his mind, clear and bright, gradually filling his consciousness and leaving him feeling refreshed and invigorated.
And—
There seemed to be a trace of alcohol hidden within the tea?
That subtle, elegant aroma intertwined with the tea's fragrance, forming a uniquely seductive flavor.
"The tea's quite good, isn't it?" Idis said with a smile as she set her cup down. "It's a royal exclusive from the Starfall Kingdom. Even princes and princesses can only drink it two or three times a year."
"Indeed," Akira nodded. He also noticed that after drinking the tea, he seemed to have entered a mildly excited state.
[Excited (12 hours): All attributes +10! Will not fall into a comatose sleep state!]
As Akira savored the lingering fragrance of the tea and its nectar-like richness, his gaze was once again drawn to Idis's breathtaking beauty.
At that moment, her voice flowed like a gentle spring—cool and elegant, yet carrying a faint warmth.
"I know you're full of questions," Idis said softly. "Go ahead. I'll answer what I can."
