Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Points and Choices

Lights were out. Only faint torch glow from the corridor. Kael snored lightly. Lira breathed slow and even. I lay on my back, arms behind my head, staring at the dark ceiling. Body still sore from fitness day. Legs heavy. Arms tight. Sweat dried sticky on my hairy chest.

Cock soft.

Then the blue text appeared. Floating right above my face. Quiet. Private.

[Host: Hunter Barnes]

[Current Level: 1]

[Minor gains accumulated from non-penetrative acts: stamina +18%, load volume +22%, endurance +12%, persuasion toward elves +5%]

[Total unused points: 47]

[New feature unlocked: Appearance Buff Conversion]

[Minor gains can now be converted into cosmetic/physical enhancements for the host. No stat combat buffs. Pure aesthetics and minor functional perks.]

I sat up slow. Heart picked up.

"Show me the options."

The text shifted. List appeared.

[Available Buffs – 47 points total]

- Defined abs (6-pack visible): 15 points

- Increased muscle mass (arms, chest, shoulders): 20 points

- Thicker thighs and calves: 12 points

- Sharper jawline and cheekbones: 10 points

- Smoother skin / reduced body hair (chest, arms, legs, pubes): 8 points

- Taller stature (+2 inches): 25 points

- Enhanced vein definition (arms, abs, cock): 7 points

- Fuller lips: 5 points

- Custom minor tweak (specify): 10–30 points depending on scope

[Note: Buffs are permanent once applied. Points spent cannot be refunded. Appearance changes are gradual over 24–48 hours. No pain. No downtime.]

I stared at the list. Mouth dry.

"Fuck… really?"

[Yes. The system rewards consistency. You have earned these through oral, manual, and grinding acts. Use them or save for bigger unlocks later.]

I ran a hand over my soft stomach. Hairy. No definition. Looked down at my arms – average. No veins. No bulk. Face okay but nothing sharp. Stubble always there. Hair everywhere.

I thought about the queen. Sera. Lira. Kael. All of them strong. Sculpted. Beautiful. And me – hairy, soft, shy.

"System. If I buff abs and muscles… will girls notice more?"

[Affirmative. Visual appeal increases attraction and persuasion. Functional perks: better stamina during sex, easier positions, less fatigue.]

I chewed my lip.

Thighs thicker. Abs showing. Sharper jaw. Maybe less hair.

But I didn't want to lose the hairy thing completely. Felt like cheating who I was. Even if I hated it sometimes.

I whispered.

"Okay. Spend 15 on defined abs. 20 on increased muscle mass – arms, chest, shoulders. And 7 on enhanced vein definition – everywhere."

[Confirmation: 42 points spent.]

[Remaining: 5]

[Applying buffs. Process begins now. Visible changes over next 48 hours. Enjoy.]

Warmth spread through my body. Not pain. Just heat. Deep. Like sitting in a hot bath from the inside.

My stomach tightened. Muscles shifted under the skin. Hair still there, but abs started to push up. Four. Then six. Faint lines at first. Would get sharper.

Arms felt heavier. Shoulders broader a little. Chest pushed forward slightly.

Veins popped more on forearms. On my thighs. Even around my cock – thicker lines under the skin.

I touched my stomach. Hard ridges. Not huge. But there.

I lay back. Grinned in the dark.

"Fuck yeah."

Kael stirred.

"You okay over there?"

"Yeah. Just… good dream."

She grunted. Went back to sleep.

I ran my hand over my new abs again. Felt real.

Points well spent.

Tomorrow they'd see. Lira. Kael. Maybe even Sera or Andria.

The hairy guy wasn't so soft anymore.

One step closer.
