The project aimed to promote a range of men's grooming products, and David would be featured alongside Monica, a striking and enchanting female model.
Monica had lustrous, chestnut-colored hair that cascaded down her shoulders, framing her captivating eyes that sparkled with a hint of mischief. Her radiant smile illuminated the room, drawing attention and creating an aura of allure that was hard to resist.
As preparations for the shoot began, David stepped into the changing area and donned the clothes provided by the studio. He exchanged his everyday attire for a pair of sleek black trousers. The studio requested him to be shirtless, showcasing his well-toned physique for the shoot.
Meanwhile, Monica was attended to by a team of skilled makeup artists and stylists, transforming her into the character she would portray—the girlfriend of the man in the advertisement.

Time seemed to melt away as the photoshoot progressed. David lost himself in the moment, fully embodying the character and the essence of the advertisement. The hours slipped by unnoticed, and his focus remained unwavering, consumed by the artistry unfolding before him.
In the midst of the creative flow, he momentarily forgot about the mysterious girl he had encountered at college and the plan he had made earlier to search for her.
As the final shot was captured, the clock struck five, abruptly reminding David of his forgotten mission. Regret flooded his thoughts as he realized he had neglected his intention to leave the shoot early and visit the college campus. He bid farewell to Jessica, expressing gratitude for the opportunity, and hastily gathered his belongings.
Leaving the studio behind, a sense of urgency propelled him forward. He raced towards the college, his mind consumed by the missed opportunity to connect with the mysterious girl.
Upon arriving, his heart sank as he witnessed the conclusion of the day's classes. The once-bustling campus now emptied, with students and faculty dispersing to their homes.
Drawing upon his heightened magical prowess and the God's Eyes skill, David scanned the campus with unwavering focus. Every face, every movement, was scrutinized in the hope of spotting the girl who had captivated his attention. Yet, despite his thorough search, she remained elusive. Frustration intertwined with disappointment as he accepted that she had slipped through his grasp.
Determined not to let the chance escape entirely, David set his sights on the following day. He programmed a reminder on his phone to return to the college at the same time, hoping for another opportunity to encounter the mysterious girl.
As David departed from the college campus, his determination to uncover the mysterious girl remained steadfast. He contemplated using his God's Eyes skill to survey nearby cafes and shops, hoping to catch a glimpse of her among the bustling crowds.
With his heightened ability to detect human presences within a wide radius, he believed there was a chance she might be found in one of these places.
As he embarked on his walk back to his apartment, David's gaze swept across every individual he encountered along the way. He discreetly observed their status windows, searching for any resemblance to the mysterious girl who had captured his attention.
His eyes scanned the surroundings, his mind attuned to every human presence within hundreds of meters. However, despite his diligent efforts, he couldn't locate the girl he sought.
Upon reaching his apartment complex, David glanced once more at his surroundings, disappointment etched upon his features. He whispered with a tinge of resignation, "Deactivate God's Eyes skill."
The heightened senses that had guided him thus far were now relinquished, leaving him with only his own instincts and observations. With a heavy heart, he stepped into his apartment, his mind consumed by thoughts of the girl whose identity remained shrouded in mystery.
Throughout the night, David's mind raced, considering various possibilities and scenarios. He resolved to leave for the studio early the next morning, hoping to chance upon a nearby college along the way.
By positioning himself near the entrance, he believed he could patiently await the arrival of the mysterious girl and finally uncover her identity. Determined, he set his alarm and eagerly anticipated the new day.
As the sun rose, David began his journey to the studio, arriving at the entrance of a college campus well before its scheduled start time of 9:30 a.m. He settled onto an iron bench placed outside the gate, positioning himself strategically to observe each incoming student. Activating his God's Eyes skill, he focused his gaze on the stream of individuals entering the premises.
The minutes ticked by as David meticulously scrutinized each face that passed through the gate. The girls inside the college couldn't help but be captivated by his striking appearance, but David remained resolute in his mission, his eyes unwavering in their search.

Despite his unwavering commitment, the mysterious girl eluded him once again. The mysterious girl who he had spotted yesterday was nowhere to be seen today.
Undeterred, David repeated this routine for the next three days, arriving early each morning, patiently awaiting the arrival of students. Yet, each time, he was met with disappointment as the girl remained elusive.
Frustration grew within him, questioning whether there had been a glitch in the system or if he had simply imagined the entire encounter.
With a heavy sigh, David finally conceded defeat. He muttered to himself, "Perhaps it was all a figment of my imagination or a mere fluke."
Disappointment hung in the air as he departed from the campus, his hope of discovering the girl's identity fading away.
As David lay on his bed, his mind drifted through the events of the past few days. From the exhausting search for apartments to the joyous party with his harem of sex partners, and then the intense quest to find the mysterious girl, followed by the modeling shoots at the studio. It had been a whirlwind of activities during his time on Earth.
He contemplated putting the search for the mysterious college girl on hold for a day or two, deciding to resume his investigation upon his return from the fantasy world. The fantasy realm served as his ultimate escape, a place where he could travel through dimensions and experience a different reality.
With the extraordinary blessings bestowed upon him by the gods and goddesses, David possessed magical powers that he could fully unleash in the fantasy world. However, while on Earth, he preferred to live as a simple citizen, keeping his true abilities hidden from those around him. It was a balance he had come to cherish.
Recalling his last visit to the fantasy world, David estimated that his nine-day absence from Earth would equate to approximately nine months in the other realm. It was a substantial amount of time to engage in various endeavors, manage his affairs, and find solace in the enchanting landscapes.
As his thoughts swirled with anticipation, David decided it was time to rest. He closed his eyes, allowing his weariness to wash over him. Sleep embraced him, bringing him respite and preparing him for the journey ahead. In a short while, he would awaken, ready to open the portal and venture into the fantasy world for the next 24 hours.
Hours passed, and the soft glow of morning sunlight peeked through the windows, casting a warm radiance upon the room. Stirring from his sleep, David slowly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
With determination in his heart, David rose from his bed and prepared himself for the journey ahead. He went through his morning routine, freshening up and ensuring he was fully ready to embark on this ethereal adventure.
As he held the key in his hand which he had received after completing various tasks or quests he received from the system, a surge of energy pulsed through him, resonating with the magic imbued within. With a flick of his wrist, he activated the key, causing a shimmering portal to materialize before him.
