Sam's sister is named Ava. She is currently studying in her junior year at Cedarwood, Sam's hometown.
Ava isn't Sam's biological sister; their parents found her as an abandoned infant on a rainy night and subsequently adopted her.
In the game, Ava and Sam's relationship isn't elaborated much, seeming like a typical sibling relationship.
They often quarrel but deeply care for each other. Ava, although not related to Sam by blood, is exceptionally beautiful, especially for a junior high student.
She's not the petite, cute type of girl. Instead, she's tall, having outgrown her peers in height since childhood.
Now, in her junior year, she's already about 6 feet tall and still growing, suggesting a future model-like figure and a dignified aura.
Regrettably, Sam doesn't survive long enough in the game's storyline to see Ava's future elegance.
"By the way, are you about to have your entrance exams?" Sam asked over the phone.
Ava huffed. "It's just the first term of ninth grade. The exams aren't until next year, silly brother."
Sam chuckled. "Then you must already be planning which high school to go to, right? Have Mom and Dad given you any advice?"
Ava's tone lifted slightly. "Mom and Dad are worried about me, so they hope I attend a high school nearby, or maybe even go to Kuhang, where you are. I'm still considering. What do you think?"
Sam didn't have a strong opinion. "Go wherever you want. But being closer to home is indeed better. You're not exactly the self-sufficient type, always a bit clumsy."
"Who's clumsy? Don't think you're all grown up just because you can cook a few dishes... You don't want me to go to Kuhang, do you?"
"Why would I want you to come to Kuhang? It's not a great place."
Indeed, Kuhang wasn't great. Despite its bustling appearance, compared to the simplicity and tranquility of the countryside, a big city like this not only had a suffocating pace but also a myriad of dark complexities.
Too many people lose themselves in this seemingly beautiful city, only to realize later that it was never their world.
"Why can I not go if you can? Brother, you just don't want me ruining your plans, right?"
"What plans?"
"Hmm, who knows? Maybe luring pretty girls to your room... Be careful, brother. I don't want to see you in court one day."
"Thanks for the warning. Rest assured, I'm a decent person, never engaging in illegal activities."
So, the question arises.
Do the other female leads using time-stopping or hypnosis on oneself count as a crime?
"Forget it, I won't go to Kuhang. Seeing you annoys me. Seeing you every day might just kill me."
Sam couldn't help but laugh. "That's great. Please don't come to study in Kuhang."
"What do you mean? You must have secrets there!"
"Not really, it's just that things would be inconvenient if you came."
"What's inconvenient? Are you implying something to your sister who's not even sixteen yet?"
"Don't overthink it. By the way, it's late, shouldn't you be resting? You have school tomorrow, right?"
Ava spoke in a coquettish tone. "Aren't you also awake? Always lecturing me."
"I was about to rest. Weren't you the one who called?"
"So, you're blaming me for disturbing you, right! Bad brother, you better never come home!" Ava hung up the phone.
Sam couldn't help but laugh again.
Even though he had just been through a dangerous flirtation game with Zoe, a single phone call had significantly lightened his mood.
Perhaps this is the power of family ties.
Not long after hanging up and heading to bed, Sam received a message.
It was a transfer notification, and the sender was none other than his sister Ava.
He was stunned for a moment, then saw the message she had sent.
"Hmph, bad brother, it's not that I wanted to transfer money to you. It's because Mom and Dad didn't know how to operate the transfer for your living expenses, so they asked me to do it. Of course, I took a handling fee for myself, which is reasonable, right? Spend it wisely because I won't have any money to lend you!"
Living expenses?
Sam distinctly remembered that his parents had already transferred his living expenses at the beginning of the month.
The amount he received each month was fixed, and since arriving in Kuhang, Sam had never asked his parents for more money.
Clearly, this wasn't the living expenses his parents sent.
So, what was it?
Sam felt a warm feeling in his heart as he replied to the message.
"Got it, thanks, Ava. You really are a good sister."
The reply came immediately.
"Why thank me? It's not from me. You don't think I gave you part of my living expenses because I thought you were short on money, do you? That can't be it! There can't really be a brother so narcissistic!"
"Alright, alright, I get it~"
"What do you get? Be clear, damn brother!"
Sam didn't reply anymore.
It was late, but the evening seemed to have been sufficiently filled with warmth to drift into sweet sleep.
Before falling asleep, a clear voice echoed in his mind.
"[Host has initiated intimate contact with one of the female leads, 'Zoe'. Conquest mission activated.]"
"[Please conquer Zoe in the best way possible. There is no time limit for the mission. Penalty for failure: BAD ending. Progressive rewards are available for each stage of deepened contact!]"
As expected.
The previous interactions couldn't have triggered nothing.
"[Host has achieved the first reward condition.]"
"[Congratulations to the host for gaining five points in all attributes!]"
Now, the host's attributes are:
[Intelligence: 30]
[Physical Strength: 33]
[Power: 24]
[Luck: 20]
[Charm: 74]
[Sexual Desire: 105]
With the increase in attributes, Sam clearly felt stronger and more responsive.
However, he was troubled by the fact that his Sexual Desire could exceed the limit of 100.
Oh no, can't it stop increasing? He really didn't want that.
Compared to the increase in Sexual Desire, Sam would have preferred more tangible rewards, as they would give him more control when facing the female leads.
But to get richer rewards, it seemed he would have to reach even more intimate stages of contact.
Forget it, no use thinking about it now.
Sam stripped down to his underwear and went to sleep.
However, the sleep was restless. He felt like he was in a state between dream and reality, surrounded by chaos, unable to distinguish whether it was a dream or reality.
Strange voices, some hot air seemed to envelop him in his sleep.
"Huh..."
It seemed like a weird wind was blowing.
Even stranger voices, indescribably familiar, yet his chaotic thoughts couldn't analyze them rationally.
"I really like it, I really do, this is Sam's scent, hee hee~"
And so, Sam was tormented by this strange sleep until morning.
When he woke up, he felt unexpectedly tired.
Wait.
Something wasn't right.
Sam then lifted the blanket and found that his blanket was wet again.
What's going on? Is it because of too much temptation lately?
But on second thought, Sam still felt something was off.
"Damn, where are my underwear?"
