Chapter 18: Daily Blessing
"Are all humans as forward as you are?"
Josinia lay on her stomach atop her bed with her chin propped on her hands and her legs kicking in the air.
Kalon sat on the bed in front of her.
They had been talking for some hours now and his time was running out. His mind was already on the skill that would be waiting for him when he returned to Earth.
"I’m not forward at all, compared to others. In fact, I’m the opposite."
"The opposite?" Josinia repeated with a confused look on her face.
"Yes. I’m a shut-in."
If Kalon had never awakened, he wouldn’t have been enrolled in the academy.
And if he wasn’t enrolled in the academy, he would never leave his room.
He would spend his time watching professional matches, constantly dreaming that he could one day be in those positions as well.
Josinia didn’t seem to understand this lifestyle, nor could she imagine Kalon being a shut-in.
"I’ve never met a shut-in that so openly asks to touch a woman’s breasts... perhaps humans have a different definition of the word."
Kalon blushed and scratched his head.
She had a point.
...
The two continued speaking for the remainder of Kalon’s allowed time away from Earth.
They mostly discussed Josinia’s future plans.
She decided that she would leave the Oro Empire tonight and travel to the country under the control of the resistance faction.
It would be difficult crossing the border, but she had saved enough money from her maid work to pay for illegal passage.
Talking about this seemed to excite her, and Kalon was excited too.
He had already confirmed with the Space Seducer System that when he next returned to Venduros, he would arrive at whatever location Josinia was in.
This meant that he would get to see and explore more of the Venduros planet...
...
Kalon soon returned to Earth and immediately received a notification from the system.
[Mission Rewards Claimed!]
[SSS-Rank Passive Skill: Daily Blessing]
Every day, a random stat is increased by 7 sub-tiers. This resets every day.
[Detailed Seduction Screen]
See a detailed system that provides information on any living being’s sexual life and preferences.
..
This... this is a lot to take in.
As he sat there on the rooftop, Kalon first focused on the SSS-rank passive he had been given.
It was overpowered for many reasons.
At the moment, his strength was at F rank. Not only did this make his attacks weak, but it almost prevented him from using certain weapons like greatswords and hammers.
However, if the Daily Blessing targeted his strength, he would be at D+. This might not sound incredible, but there was a reason why Kalon was so pleased.
He was a man that looked ahead into the future.
Progression was easy when it came to the lower ranks, but when humans began to reach rank C in their stats, it became much harder to progress.
Even the strongest of pros had stats that averaged in the A ranks.
Now, by the time Kalon reached rank B in his stats, the Daily Blessing could push one of those stats up to S.
This was an unbelievable feat that no one in the world would even be able to fathom. It removed what would normally take years of hard work and lowered it down to simply waking up lucky in the morning.
Kalon found himself looking forward to tomorrow so he could see what blessing he would be given.
Next, he turned to the upgrade his system had received: the Detailed Seduction Screen.
With no one around, he didn’t have any way to use it. However, he felt like the option was constantly waiting for him...
...
Kalon returned to his room to sleep and woke up the next day feeling better than ever.
With two days left before the mock battle, he took a glance at his system.

...
His status gave him the reason why his body suddenly felt so good.
Daily Blessing had increased his agility by seven tiers. Every movement he made not only felt easier now, but could also be completed much faster.
He had to be careful doing things like brushing his teeth, as it was hard to control the speed.
On top of this, there was another change.
Kalon’s stamina had temporarily been increased to F+. When he focused on the reason, his system gave him the answer.
[+1 Stamina from Lustful Mind Mental Trait]
"..."
Is my system really preparing me to last longer with women?
Me and Josinia aren’t that far... yet.
...
After another day of consistent training and fuelling his body with the basic meal plan delivered to his room, Kalon made his way back up to the rooftop.
However, once there, he immediately realised he wasn’t alone.
The sun had set, so the two figures were somewhat shrouded by the darkness.
But Kalon could recognise that bear-like physique anywhere.
The large young man was standing with his hands in his pockets, while a slimmer young man leaned against the railing, smoking a cigarette.
That’s not allowed on school grounds...
Kalon stopped a few meters away from the one that towered over him.
"Brandon Brookhouse, have you come to watch the stars?"
Thanks to Thea’s warning, Kalon had managed to mentally prepare himself for this. He had expected to be visited here, though he had expected Daniel.
It seemed the rich boy had sent his goons instead.
Brandon looked down at Kalon as though he were an insect.
Then he spat on the floor and cracked his knuckles.
"Eh, you look a little bit stronger. You been training?"
Kalon nodded. "I have."
A mocking laugh came from Brandon, then he cracked his neck.
"You’re still so small, I almost feel bad... Don’t worry, I’ll crush you quickly."
