“Where am I?
Am I dead?
How is Mom?” I don’t know how much time passed before I awoke from the endless darkness, my heart filled with boundless guilt and remorse.
I should have cared for and loved my mother more.
IfI had protected her, that bastard Qi Feng wouldn’t have succeeded, and I wouldn’t be like this now.
How heartbroken my mother must be without me!
If…
if l could have another chance…
“I heard your heart’s desire.
Do you need another chance?” An ancient voice resonated within me.
Though I didn’t know why the voice alone conveyed such antiquity, it truly sounded ancient, each word seeming to have weathered countless years, brimming with boundless wisdom.
“Who are you??
Where am I??” This eerie situation made me tense.
“You can call me Desire.
I was born in the virtual world.
Release me, and I can give you another chance to go to the real world with you.
But I will fall into a deep sleep after exhausting my power, and you will be responsible for waking me up again.”
“Desire…desire..”I instantly thought of the erotic game I played, and the time I was electrocuted by my laptop.
Could it be…could it be that I’ve somehow made contact with some kind of being ?
Although this is very unscientific, I’m already dead, and I believe current science can’t fully explain what happens after death.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not, the opportunity is right in front of me, so I have to give it a try.
After mentally preparing myself, I cautiously asked, “If I want to be reborn, what do I need to give up?”
“Bound to me, provide me with energy, awaken me.” The ancient voice remained calm.
“What if don’t wake you up after Im reborn?
What if l die again?” T pressed on, true to my spirit of asking questions.
“After rebirth, we are one.
If you don’t awaken me, I cant provide you with energy, and you’ll quickly die without replenishing your power.
Provide me with energy, awaken me, and as long as I live, you will live.”
“What kind of energy do you need, and how do you replenish it?”
“Lust, the most primal force; the system will assist you while I slumber.”
“Lust??” Suddenly this desire feels a bit indecent, but considering it’s an adult game, it’s acceptable.
“Okay, I accept, but…” I was just about to ask if I could go back to the time before Qi Feng came to my house, and I wanted to ask the system what was going on, when everything went black and I lost consciousness again.
A string of curses stuck in my throat.
“Ring ring ring ring~ Ring ring ring ring” The chilling sound of my iPhone alarm clock rang in my ears, jolting me awake from the darkness.
The familiar room, the familiar bed, the familiar blankets-I had actually come back to life !”
A surge of joy welled up inside me.
I quickly checked my body; thankfully, nothing was missing.
I then grabbed my phone from the bedside table to check the date.
“April 10th.” I breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed.
It seemed that “Desire” was quite reliable after all.
Today was the very day Qi Feng came to my house.
I had been hoping to be reborn earlier so I could get my mother to refuse Qi Feng’s visit and stay far away from his house, thus solving the problem at its root.
However, it seems “Desire” simply didn’t have enough power left; it didn’t give me any room for negotiation and directly transported me back to the day Qi Feng came to my house.
But it’s not bad, at least I have a second chance.
This time I will definitely protect my mother and not give that brat Qi Feng a chance.
Furthermore, recalling how my mother called out my name haphazardly in her delirium, I was filled with anger at the time and didn’t think much of it.
Now, thinking back, I can’t help but feel a surge of emotion.
Was my mother also like that to me…
?
“Yang Fan!
Get up quickly!
It’s almost 7:30, you’re going to be late!” My mother’s clear voice came from outside the door, ruthlessly shattering my reverie.
“Coming, coming!” I quickly got dressed.
My mom is usually quite strict; when she calls me by my full name, it means she’s about to get angry.
Any later and my ears would probably be in trouble.
It took me three minutes to wash up and then obediently went to the dining table.
There were a few slices of toast, some fried eggs, and two glasses of milk on the table.
Mom was already sitting there eating.
Today, Mom wore exquisite makeup, her long, flowing hair styled in a high bun.
She wore a purple business suit, the hem of which just above her knees, giving her an elegant yet sexy look.
Her long, shapely legs were clad in sheer black stockings, and her small, black-stockinged feet were hidden in slippers, barely visible.
The well- fitting blazer perfectly accentuated her figure; her high breasts and ample hips stretched the clothes taut.
She truly embodied the ideal of a woman with large breasts anda curvaceous bottom.
Why can I see it so clearly?
Having experienced the pain of separation and loss, of course I wanted to see my mother properly.
I was so happy to see her again.
Suddenly, a pale red number, 75, appeared above my mother’s head.
I quickly shook my head and found number still hovering above her head.
But when I shifted my attention elsewhere, the number disappeared.
Looking at my mother again, the number slowly reappeared.
A thought involuntarily crossed my mind: Could this…
be the system that “desire” speaks of…?
This…
this is too brief!
There’s not even an explanation ??
Looking at that pale pink 75, if I’m not mistaken, that must be the manifestation of my mother’s affection level towards me.
According to the rules of the “Desire” game, reaching 80 means you’re a couple, 90 means you’re lovers, and 95 means you’re husband and wife.
I went through so much trouble to reach 100 before..
It’s because that’s the unlock condition for the final chapter.
In the game, it unlocks more positions and scenes.
I wonder what it will be like in real life..
hehe, I hope it’s practical and not some vow of unwavering loyalty or life- and-death commitment.
I’m already quite satisfied with my mother’s 75% affection level.
With a little more effort, I can reach 80, and then I can finally rise from the bottom and sing my own song, haha.
I thought for a moment and focused my mind on that number, which flashed and a dialog box popped up: “Do you want to pursue this character?” Below were two buttons, one red and one green, yes and no.
I was stunned again.
It really works!
In the game, you click with the mouse, but in real life, you can use your mind to sense it.
I clicked the “yes” button without hesitation.
The dialog box disappeared, and my mother’s name appeared in the corner of my vision, then slowly disappeared.
However, I tried it, and the name would reappear if I thought about it.
This should mean that I have established a connection with my mother.
If I were in the game, I could start progressing through the story and increasing her affection level.
But my mother in front of me clearly didn’t react at all, which left me a little confused.
It seems I’Il have to wait until I have more time to figure it out.
“What are you daydreaming about?
Why are you laughing so mischievously?
Hurry up and eat, or you’ll go hungry during class this morning!
” Mom tapped the table, interrupting my daydreaming.
“Oh, oh!”I quickly composed myself and started eating.
Eating my mother’s cooking again filled me with happiness.
“Mom’s cooking is so delicious!
You have to eat a good breakfast, Mom, you should eat more too!”
“Oh, my little man has finally learned to care about others!
My good son, eat more!” Mom was a little surprised by my concern, but very happy.
Her two charming eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she affectionately patted my head, her eyes full of satisfaction.
A faint, sweet fragrance wafted from my mother, her familiar scent that made me feel slightly intoxicated.
“Absolutely!
Mom’s cooking is the best.
Mom always cooks for me whenever she has time, and I remember it all.
Mom, please keep cooking for me, okay?” | looked at my mother affectionately.
My sudden confession caught my mother off guard.
She casually wiped her eyes, gently patted my forehead, and chuckled, “What’s wrong with you today, you little rascal?
Suddenly you’ve figured it out and know how to make your mother happy!”
“No, I just suddenly realized how much my mom has sacrificed for me, and I should take better care of her and listen to her from now on, ” said, munching on my food.
“‘Since our son is such a good boy, Mom will cook for you every day from now on.
Whatever you want to eat, Mom will make it for you.
And if you can also improve your studies and get first place in your exams, Mom will buy you whatever you want, okay?” Mom looked at me with a half-smile.
“Well…” My family isn’t short of money, and I don’t have much ambition about which university to attend, so my grades have always been around the middle.
Asking me to get first place is really a bit much.
But since we’ve already gotten to this point, I can’t really say no, so I can only bite the bullet and say, “Okay, I promise Mom I’ll get first place.
And no matter which subject I get first place in, Mom has to accept it, okay?
Also, if I succeed, I want Mom to grant me one request-not an unreasonable one, of course.”
“Great, my son’s doing wel!
I’ll be watching!” Mom agreed readily.
Breakfast was quickly finished in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
My mother ate very comfortably thanks to my deliberate attempts to please her.
Looking at the clock, I realized I was almost late for school, so I hurried to leave.
As I reached the door, my mother, who was changing into her high heels, suddenly remembered something and said, “I forgot to tell you, your Uncle Qi’s son is coming to stay with us for a few days.
I’Il have someone clean his room today.
His name is Qi Feng, he’s a year younger than you, and he’s also at your school.
Hope you two get along well.”
“Okay, Mom”‘ I replied, slightly disappointed.
It seemed there was no escaping this.
l’d been thinking that Mom hadn’t mentioned it during dinner because something had gone wrong with my rebirth, and Qi Feng was no longer involved.
However, since Qi Feng is still coming, I need to come up with a plan.
Although I’ve witnessed his tricks before, I can’t be careless this time.
I can’t let him get close to Mom again!
I was lost in thought when suddenly a “ding-dong” sound rang in my mind, and my mother’s name automatically appeared in my field of vision.
Below her name, a small envelope-like icon was faintly flashing.
I mentally gestured for it to move a little closer, and the envelope opened, revealing a dialog box with the number.
“Mission: Protect Mom”: Your mother will soon be approached by a man with ill intentions.
You must protect your mother and keep her safe.
Quest Reward: 1 Favorability Potion
I was overjoyed and immediately accepted the task without thinking.
The dialogue box disappeared, and the task appeared below my mother’s name before slowly fading away.
I was wondering why the quest system hadn’t been active before; turns out it was supposed to be triggered by my mom.
Apparently, she was supposed to tell me about Qi Feng at the dinner table, but I kept interrupting, so she didn’t.
And now she’s only telling me the quest has been triggered.
And the reward for this mission is an affinity potion!
This is absolutely something I’ve been dreaming of.
An affinity potion can permanently increase affinity by 5 points, making it the item that increases affinity the most in the “Desire” game.
Although it’s difficult to obtain, it’s much easier than forcibly increasing affinity by constantly grinding through the story.
Obtaining a favor potion means I can raise my mother’s favorability to 80, which means we’ll be in a romantic relationship.
Just thinking about it makes me so excited, haha!
But this mission seems to be a long one; that kid Qi Feng won’t be so easy to deal with.
However, I imagine there will be sub-missions along the way; l just wonder what the rewards will be !
I promised my mom l’d study hard and get first place, but I couldn’t concentrate at school all day.
I started secretly thinking about how to deal with Qi Feng.
After school, I didn’t rush home; instead, I went to the market and bought some of my mom’s favorite dishes before leisurely heading home.
I figured it out at school: my mom still favors me.
If I how her more care and don’t give Qi Feng and my mom any opportunities to be alone, I can effectively reduce her feelings for Qi Feng.
Besides, thinking back to what happened between Qi Feng and my mom, her behavior was clearly off.
She was probably drugged by that kid; otherwise, he wouldn’t have succeeded so easily.
This time, as long as I don’t give him a chance to make a move, he won’t be able to cause any trouble.
