"A conquest is sweetest the first night. After that it is only housework, and housework does not pay."
"So explain it to me," Adrian said, "I don’t want to play my hands blind."
[Certainly, Master!]
[To put it simply, alll you have to do is cuck other men, and grow stronger.]
[You take women who belong to other men. And in return, I pay you in NTR Points. You spend those points to help your harem and yourself grow stronger. That is the only rule.]
[Furthermore, depending on the affection of the harem members and how you spend points on them, the System will yield a return to your own strength ranging from 2x to 10x.]
Adrian heard the system and read the text in front of him and he could not believe what he was seeing. He repeated the rule to make sure he understood.
"So you mean to say... I take another man’s woman, you pay me, and I spend the points to get stronger. That’s it."
[Correct.]
[And to be honest, a single woman with no partner is not actually worthless. You don’t have to always eye someone else’s woman. But the rewards might be a bit less.]
[You see, I do not reward you just for sleeping with someone. I reward you for stealing a woman who belongs to another man and destroying his pride.]
[I reward you for the degeneration.]
[I reward you for the humiliation]
[Talking about rewards, would you want to check your status window?]
"I have a status window?" Adrian looked slightly taken aback, and sitting straight up slightly, "What is it? Show me?"
[Generating Status Window...]
[ Name: Adrian Ravencrest ]
[ Age: 18 ]
[ Race: Pureblood Vampire ]
[ Core Stage: Early Iron Core Stage ]
[ Strength: 41 ]
[ Agility: 44 ]
[ Stamina: 54/60 ]
[ Vitality: 49/50 ]
[ Intelligence: 17 ]
[ Mana: 895/1000 ]
[ Element: Earth (S) ]
[ NTR Points: 2000 ]
[ Earth Affinity after 72 hours window: C-Rank (Eleanor) ]
[ Active Skills: Lust-Inducing Vampire Pheromones ]
[ Shop: Locked until Silver Stage ]
[ Active Quests: None ]
Adrian studied the floating numbers for a moment, his eyes lingering on the attributes.
"Seventeen," he muttered, tracing a finger through the holographic air. "I suppose spending the last eighteen years getting beaten down doesn’t do much for intellectual growth. But the rest..."
He flexed his hand, watching the tendons shift under his pale skin.
"System," he murmured, "What does a normal person look like?"
[For reference, Host, the average adult human sits at exactly 10 for all attributes from Strength to Intelligence.]
A dark, amused chuckle escaped Adrian’s lips, slowly growing into a low, rumbling laugh that filled the quiet room.
"Ten," he repeated, shaking his head. "So even when I was unawakened... even when the entire courtyard was calling me a useless cripple... my pureblood body made me four or five times stronger, faster, and more durable than a standard human foot soldier."
He knew vampires, let alone purebloods possessed ridiculous physical advantages, but seeing the numbers laid out like this made it real.
His physical stats were well into the forties and fifties, though his intelligence lagged behind at seventeen.
He leaned back, his eyes gleaming with cold realization.
"The high nobles sneer at raw physical strength like it’s some barbaric disease," he said to the empty room. "They called me trash because I couldn’t spark a little flame or push a gust of wind. They forgot that without their magic, they are just fragile little insects I could crush with one hand."
He pressed his palm flat against his chest, right over the steady, pulsing warmth of his new Core.
"And now that I actually have the mana," he whispered, a predatory grin spreading across his face, "and an S-Rank element affinity to back it up... I am going to be there walking nightmare now."
He nodded slowly, thoroughly satisfied with his foundation.
"Now break down how I earned this two thousand," Adrian said, pointing at the screen. "Use Eleanor as the example. And please... Don’t speak in riddles."
[Gladly, Master!]
[Target: Lady Eleanor Montfort.]
[Quest completed.]
[Humiliating a powerful man yields high rewards. Claiming a high-status noblewoman and breaking her loyalty to her husband generated a massive first-time bonus of 2000 NTR Points.]
[Note: Conquering a target without an active System Quest will still yield base points based on her status, but you will not receive quest-specific bonus rewards.]
[But you don’t have to worry, you have not done this yet.]
[But what you need to worry about it the law of diminishing returns. Repeated encounters with the same conquered target will yield significantly fewer NTR points.] This chapter was copied from novelping dot com without permission.
[The initial claiming provides the highest payout. Subsequent encounters will only provide fractional maintenance points.]
[Minor interactions, such as touching or foreplay, will also generate NTR points. Maximum yield requires full physical and psychological submission.]
Adrian sat back, processing the information.
"So, if I keep sleeping with Eleanor, the points will soon dry up?"
[Correct, Host. While they will never become zero. But if Eleanor does not grow in strength and affection, the returns will indeed depriciate.]
[The System is designed to promote constant expansion. You cannot farm points by repeatedly visiting the same target.]
[To earn large payouts, you must constantly hunt new targets]
[And this brings us to the Harem Management interface, Host.]
A second holographic block opened beneath the first, clean and structured.
[Harem Slots Available: 3 (Iron Core Stage limit)]
[Slot 1: Empty]
[Slot 2: Empty]
[Slot 3: Empty]
[Status of Lady Eleanor Montfort: Claimed, but unassigned.]
[System Rule: A conquered woman is merely a temporary spoil of war unless assigned to a Harem Slot. Only women bound to a Harem Slot can be upgraded using your points, which in turn triggers the multiplier return to your own stats.]
[Do you wish to bind Lady Eleanor Montfort to Harem Slot 1?]
Adrian looked at the empty slots, and the triumph in his chest turned sharp.
He could still see her on that rug, shaking, calling herself his.
He could still feel how completely she had come apart.
He could still hear her saying she loves him.
But none of that made her new.
She had worn Lord Montfort’s name for years.
She had carried Julian.
She had sat in silks like an ornament and waited for a husband who never came back to bed.
Adrian had taken her because she belonged to the boy who had put him in the dirt.
That was the whole point of the night.
It was not a reason to bind her to his permanent household.
"No!"
