Lily sat right in the middle of the giant bed draped in dark velvet, frantically waving her hands through the air.
Hovering around her petite, naked form in utter chaos were over fifteen semi-transparent System windows glowing in hues of purple and blue.
Her long, fluffy ears twitched from the sheer influx of information, until the girl finally exhaled a gust of air and let her back fall onto the soft mattress, completely exhausted by the data overload.
“Damn it... this System is absolutely massive...” she forced out to herself, staring up at the richly decorated ceiling.
Once the first wave of frustration and anger toward the Demon Queen had fully faded, a pure, primal excitement of a seasoned gamer awakened within Lily.
She began greedily and fascinatedly swiping her fingers through tab after tab, investigating the intricacies of her sprawling purple progression tree.
She pulled one of the small windows from the Sensory Arts branch closer to her, displaying the description of a starting perk:
[Skill – Pet's Reward]
Effect: Headpats, ear scratches, or verbal praise from a dominant partner trigger an immediate burst of endorphins and submissive purring in the Host.
“Ha... it’s one of the cheaper skills in this tree,” she mumbled under her breath with a sweet-and-sour smile.
“I’d bet good money that as soon as the Demon Queen sees this, the first thing she’ll do is buy it for me without even asking...”
She let out a quiet sigh, closing the window and pulling up four more entries from the same branch:
[Skill – Bondage Affinity]
Effect: When the Host’s hands or body are restrained, touch sensitivity increases drastically, driving her to orgasm with minimal stimulation.
[Skill - Alpha Detector]
Effects: Host instinctively detects exceptionally powerful individuals. Detection intensity scales with the difference in power.
[Skill - Desire Sense]
Effects: Detects strong attraction, nervousness, and emotional excitement within 5 meters.
[Skill - Heartbeat Reader]
Effects: Enhanced hearing allows Host to detect heartbeat fluctuations and identify fear, excitement, or deception.
Lily slowly raised her hand and cupped her own left breast. The soft bud fit perfectly into her petite palm.
“Well then... even though all these skills are somehow tied to sex - or at least indirectly connected to it - it’s really not as bad as I initially thought,” she told herself.
To test her theory, she suddenly squeezed her breast firmly three times in a row, right to the edge of a painful sting, biting her lower lip and barely holding back a high-pitched groan that almost tore from her throat.
Glancing at her Pleasure Energy bar, she noticed the number leaped straight to 18 points.
She nodded in satisfaction as her slow, gentle movements returned. She began tracing the sensitive nipple with her fingertips, patiently and methodically farming more points of free energy while analyzing the remaining entries.
She shifted her gaze to the Bodycraft tab, where an intriguing sequence of skills was displayed:
[Skill – A-Cup Awakening]
Effect: Primal form. Small, delicately outlined breast buds with extraordinarily sensitive nipples that send immediate pulses to intimate zones upon the slightest touch.
Beside it boasted the next step:
[Skill – B-Cup Blossom]
Effect: Breasts visibly round out into a sweet, girlish B-cup size. They gain perfect elasticity and begin to sway softly when walking briskly.
She dragged her finger to the right across a long chain of icons: C-Cup, D-Cup, E-Cup, F-Cup, G-Cup, H-Cup, I-Cup... all the way to K-Cup.
“Damn... with this class, I can literally have any breast size I could ever dream of...” she whispered in shock, her eyes then dropping to the final, golden icon of that path:
[Skill – Ideal Bust Form]
Effect: Host gains the ability to shape her breasts into a chosen size. The newly selected volume becomes her permanent anatomy - the bust gains flawless firmness, maintains an elevated shape, and never loses its elasticity.
“And the most interesting part... this last skill isn't available to unlock just by spending points,” she noted.
“I have to unlock literally every single size sequentially, from A-Cup Awakening all the way to K-Cup Kingdom... Only once I’ve experienced every volume will I be able to buy this skill...”
At those words, her hand squeezed her breast harder once more, her fingers gently twisting the sensitive nipple.
Lily curled up slightly on the velvet and released a delicious, quiet groan:
“Aahn~...”
The energy bar twitched instantly, jumping to 19 points.
“Still, this line is purely aesthetic for nice looks... The Demon Queen will definitely be insanely interested in it,” she muttered, rubbing her burning cheeks.
“But I’m much more interested in stuff like this...”
She looked at other entries from the Bodycraft branch:
[Skill - Enchanted Thighs]
Effect: Significantly increases the muscle density of the lower body without altering softness. +20% power to kicks, jumps, and straddles.
[Skill - Limitless Endurance]
Effect: Energy depletion resulting from prolonged intimate or physical activity reduced by 40%.
“Even though these are still skills aimed at making me... let’s say... better in bed, you can easily use them in daily life! They help with basic movement, escaping, and even combat!” she cheered up.
Browsing further, she found a few more gems in Sensory Arts:
[Skill - Predator’s Gaze]
Effects: Allows Host to gauge the Strength, Endurance, Agility, Intelligence, Magic, and threat level of a target after maintaining eye contact for 3 seconds.
[Skill - Evil Mind]
Effects: Increases resistance to illusions, charms, and mental manipulation by 30%. Effectiveness scales down against higher-tier abilities.
“These skills seem genuinely brilliant and... I don't know, so ridiculously out of place for my filthy class that I’m actually surprised I even have them!” Lily lit up.
However, a moment later, her face contorted into a massive grimace of disappointment.
“Of course... not only are they insanely expensive - since Predator’s Gaze costs a staggering 650 points - but worse... I can currently store a maximum of 100 points of Pleasure Energy! To even be able to save up points for them, I have to buy this first...”
She pointed a trembling finger at the perk:
[Skill - Pleasure Reservoir]
Effects: Increases maximum Pleasure Energy capacity.
Current Capacity: 100 → 150 PE.
“And unlocking this reservoir costs an even 100 points... while the cap only raises by a pathetic 50! I can probably expand it further later, but at this rate, unlocking simple skills like Predator’s Gaze is going to take me thousands of points!” She sniffled, losing her steam.
With irritation, she glanced at another common entry:
[Skill – Velvet Grip]
Effect: Vaginal and anal muscles automatically adjust to the shape and size of the partner, ensuring tight friction and constant lubrication. The longer the intercourse lasts, the stronger the pressure exerted on the partner, driving them to a faster finish.
“And this crap costs a measly 15 points...” Lily held her head in her hands.
“This is going to be horrifyingly tough...”
She closed and dismissed the purple notification window, then checked her current point total.
The indicator displayed exactly 19 energy points.
“Just one more...” she said to herself.
Without second thoughts, she pulled up her other hand and went after both of her small, soft breasts at the same time.
She cupped the girlish buds, sinking her fingers into them, beginning to rhythmically and sensually knead them, tracing soft circles across the skin.
“Ah~... mmm...” A quiet, trembling groan escaped her throat, and the new Sweet Voice perk infused every sound with an almost sickeningly delicious, velvety note.
Lily closed her eyes, slightly arching her small back against the velvet bedding. Her fingers tugged on both nipples simultaneously, kneading, twisting, and rubbing them with growing boldness.
A wave of electric, scorching heat surged from her chest straight downward, pooling into her small shaft and newly discovered, tight slit, which immediately began leaking sweet moisture.
“Haaah... nnngh~...” she whimpered softly, caressing her own body, tracing the sides of her bust, tapping her fingertips against the erect buds, and shamelessly tugging at the sensitive skin.
Her bunny ears twitched violently with every movement, and her legs began rubbing together gently against the sheet of their own accord.
The girl kneaded her soft curves continuously for a good while, relishing this strange, new sensitivity of her body, until at last a quiet blue flash flared in the air, and the energy gauge smoothly crossed over to an even 20 points of Pleasure Energy.
