He couldn’t help it—seeing the sheer number of completed quests all lined up like trophies was far too satisfying to hold back.
’So it really happened...’ he thought, leaning back slightly.
As he had expected, Nora’s corruption had finally reached a hundred percent. The moment he saw that line of text flash across the screen—Quest ’Push Nora’s corruption to 100%’ completed!—his grin had almost split his face in two.
He’d suspected it might happen, especially toward the end when her entire demeanor shifted.
Her tone, her eyes, even the way she moved—it had all been different.
The resistance that used to linger in her words had completely melted away, replaced by complete submission to his cock.
Still, he hadn’t exactly expected her to be the first one he conquered.
Of the two women living with him in this house, he had expected to fully conquer Claire first, then Nora.
After all, he had fucked the former more times than the latter, and also had more sexual interactions overall.
But things played out quite different from what he expected, with Nora submitting despite only tasting his cock for the first time.
He chuckled softly, shaking his head.
"Well, I’m not complaining," he muttered, eyes still fixed on the glowing notifications.
Not only had he managed to conquer his first MILF, he’d done so with a mountain of rewards stacked on top of each other.
The Hunter Points alone were ridiculous. He could practically feel the wealth of it pulsing in his account, a rush of excitement flooding his chest as he mentally tallied them up.
And then there were the skills. Two brand new ones.
[Lust Pheromones (S-rank)]
[Stone Skin (D-rank)]
Just reading their names sent a thrill through him.
The first was an S-rank charm skill, just like all his other charm skill.
The second might only be a D-rank skill, but from its name alone, Damien could tell it would surely be very useful to him in defense.
After all, the only ability skills he had that were useful in a fight were Minor Strength Boost and Minor Speed boost, which didn’t offer anything in terms of defense.
He exhaled deeply, still absorbing everything. It was a lot to take in. The Hunter Points, the stat increases, the skills—it almost felt unreal.
Apart from that, there was the stat bonus itself.
Fifteen points added to all his attributes!
He blinked once, making sure he hadn’t misread it. That wasn’t some minor boost; it was a full-scale transformation.
On top of that, he’d received a hundred-point increase to both Health and Mana.
Even now, as he stood there, he could feel it. The change wasn’t abstract—it was tangible.
His body felt lighter, sharper, more responsive. His breathing came steadier. The faint tension in his muscles hummed with newfound energy, like a current running just beneath his skin.
He flexed his fingers slowly, watching the faint blue shimmer dance at the edge of his vision.
"Damn..." he murmured, a small grin curling his lips again.
Every stat point increase was equivalent to a hundred Hunter Points, so that meant the amount of stats he gained was equal to 1500 Hunter Points each.
That was insane. And this wasn’t even including the hundred points he got added to his health and mana each.
"Fifteen hundred... per stat..." he whispered, eyes widening slightly as he did the math in his head. "That’s... that’s something I couldn’t have afforded even if I saved for weeks."
His eyes scanned through the completed quests one more time, quickly calculating everything.
’3200... 1500... 3200... 7000... 15000... and another 20000... then another 20000 after that.’
He took a slow breath as the numbers clicked together in his head.
"That’s... sixty-nine thousand, nine hundred points," he said quietly. "Almost seventy thousand."
The words sounded surreal even as he said them. Nearly seventy thousand Hunter Points! He’d never seen a number that high in his account before.
He leaned forward slightly, excitement flashing through his gaze.
’Status window,’ he thought, his command clear.
[Status Window]
[Name: Damien Cross]

"Over eighty thousand..." he muttered, a smile tugging at his lips again. His eyes flickered with awe, and for a brief moment, he just stood there, letting it sink in.
He clenched his fists, feeling his pulse quicken with exhilaration.
’With this,’ he thought, ’I can increase my stats even more... or even purchase more things from the system shop.’
The thought alone sent a wave of anticipation rushing through him.
The possibilities were many now. With this kind of resource pool, he could enhance his combat abilities, boost his Charm even further, or finally get his hands on higher-tier items.
The system’s shop had always taunted him with things just out of reach, but now... now he could afford a lot more than he could before.
He exhaled deeply, the smile on his face settling into something calm but undeniably pleased.
He couldn’t help the small laugh that slipped from him as he whispered under his breath, "Of course... this system’s the best after all."
For a moment, his eyes flickered upward, as though speaking directly to someone unseen.
"I really don’t regret taking you up on your offer, Eros," he said quietly.
A few days later...
Damien sighed softly as he walked down the streets of the village.
Everywhere was bustling with activity, traders trying to advertise their goods as well as farmers and adventurers moving all around the place.
There were also teenagers who seemed to be around Damien’s age moving about.
Most of them were bouncing or trembling in excitement as they walked down the same path as Damien.
Damien clicked his tongue as he stared at them, turning his attention back to the road before him.
As for why everywhere was bustling with so much activity, it was because today was finally the day... the day of the class awakening ceremony!
