*Cough* *Cough*
Ben woke up feeling like a bag full of smashed up nutsacks.
…
The pain was so intense from this third strength potion that he couldn't stand it for more than 10 seconds and passed out. In a way, it was a blessing because he didn't suffer through it, but it was dangerous too. Ben knew the risks of being asleep during trauma—it created a high chance of someone drawing a penis on his face.
…
Nevertheless, he survived it, and after checking his phone, he learned an hour had passed. "I guess I'll need to test it out." Next, as he did before, he checked his strength with a round of push-ups, and soon reached a satisfying result.
"It's about a 20 percent boost again." It was an approximation, but the result was consistent with the gains from earlier potions. Now, Ben's strength was above elite level and approaching world-class!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe narrowed his eyes. 'Next time I see Valentina, I'm going to give her a real piece of my mind.' For some reason, he thought this would help him better estimate her measurements…
Whether or not that was true…Ben had now finished reviewing his gains from Tina, and with that, a new issue emerged: what to do with the following week.
His manliness multiplier expired and things were going well at work, school, and BJJ, but he no longer had a clear choice of direction. At the moment, he held no multiplier and there was also no urgent need for development in any area. With 40,700 points saved, he also hadn't reached his goal of 50,000. So as far as the best next move, it was hard to say.
"I suppose…the first thing I should do is buy a multiplier." Although he was saving points, this was a case where he needed to spend money. However, it wouldn't be too expensive, because Ben was a cheapskate.
[Low Level Stat Growth Multiplier(Consumable, Fine, Random): 2000 points]
He planned to go with the random option. If he wanted to choose a stat, it would cost 5000, but since it didn't matter much now, then he might as well live thriftily. With that in mind, he navigated through his system screen to the store, and purchased it.
Not long after, Ben was holding a white card in his hand.
[Low Level Stat Growth Multiplier(Consumable, Fine, Personal Talent) x1 - After activating, get 10x the results while practicing an activity related to the specified stat. Also increases motivation and recovery for those activities. Lasts for 7 days]
"Personal talent…" It seemed the theme of the next week would be shoring up the main weakness of his stat build: being a waste...
Ben thought it was good that the multiplier was for personal talent though. With this, although the results would be much weaker than with the previous mid level, he could continue the momentum he'd built up in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Yet, he desired to go further. 'This'll be good for BJJ but I should also try practicing something else. After all, if the system determines the personal talent stat based on skills that attract women, then it'll be good to a diversity of talents that they appreciate. Many women won't care about BJJ or MMA.'
Ben was aware that the personal talent stat would improve not only from being very skilled in one thing, but also from having a multitude of skills. He was pretty sure there was even a tag related to this. 'Was it…jack-off all trades?
...
He envisioned a line of professional women from various industries on their knees…
That was an image that could become a man's goal in life... So if it wasn't a tag before, then it would be from this point on… Ben would make it so…
Yet, with no direction, he wasn't sure what to do. As far as hobbies went, he didn't have any besides gaming, pick up, BJJ, and weightlifting. If that wasn't the case, his personal talent stat wouldn't have been so low to start with.
After thinking over it a while though, he remembered a place that could give him some ideas, an information portal designed for students dealing with this exact issue: the university website for extracurricular activities. He knew there would be a range of clubs on it for various activities, that would perhaps include something which appealed to him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, Ben sat at his desk and opened his laptop, looking for the site and soon finding it. He then began to review the clubs, which took quite a while because since New York University was such a massive school, the large number of students also meant a variety of student interests.
Although, there was one club Ben was looking for in particular, one he thought he would fit in very well at, that would cover all the bases. Yet, try hard as he might, he couldn't locate the university's official slut society.
...
"I guess the Greek sororities eat up all the freshmen…" Ben sighed, having given up on his first choice. Yet, he tried to stay positive and scanned through the list with more care, seeking an alternative. Like that, he read through all of them one by one:
F-Society for computer enthusiasts…
Nicholas Cage Appreciation Society…
Transgender-Pets Society…for pets who had transitioned with the loving help of their owners…
Transspecies Anarchists Club…for brave and stunning people who desired to transition species and also abolish government…
Then, Ben's eyes shined, because he found it at last, a club he could relate to; one where he wouldn't have to undergo surgery.
