The Good-for-nothing Bastard who could gain Skills by Kissing-Chapter 17 Worries & Realizations (Loryarc)

"It's different..."

Loryarc was lying on his bed, his eyes clouded by uncertainty.

He remembered what happened when he learned the Skill from the Skill Book. When he compared that to the times he gets skill after skill after he kissed the ladies from the Marble Rose House today, the difference was like Heaven and Earth.

When he got the Skill after completing the Kiss Mission, there wasn't any visible change or effect in his body. Meanwhile, after he learned the Skill from the Skill Book, he could certainly feel it; his body had changed.

It was like a subtle feeling of being healthier and healthier after doing a continuous routine of diets and exercises; the change was small but unmistakable. Loryarc could clearly feel his body had become stronger, with the focus points being his forearms and back.

What makes the two methods to be different? Loryarc thought and immediately found the answer.

Yes, the System.

He learned a Skill by using the Skill Book, while he 'gained' a Skill by completing the Kiss Mission he created by the power of his System.

Even the categories are different when he looks at his status.

[Learned passive Skill:...]

[Learned active Skill: Heavy Strike(E).]

———

Heavy Strike is categorized as a Learned active Skill by the System instead of his Personal Active Skill.

Of course, Loryarc is aware of the three types of Skill, but then again, he at first just thought that these categories were created solely for convenience by the Inhabitants of this world rather than any intrinsic organization imposed by the very fabric of the world itself.

And yet, the System proved that Skills indeed had types.

Well, it's okay with Loryarc. He didn't see any problem with these rules.

The only question is just what makes them different?

Passive and active? That's natural to differentiate them.

But what is the difference between kissing a lady and gaining a Skill for doing so and killing some Dungeon bosses and getting a Skill Book or two at hand for learning new Skills?

The way he gets it? Or how he received it? Or maybe... The source?

The familiar patterns in the plaster above him seemed to dance and shift, mirroring the chaos swirling in his mind.

Some part of him feels that there is something wrong with this difference. He needs to uncover it and see the reason to make sure that there's no danger lying beneath.

But how? How could he uncover the secret of the System?

With a thought, Loryarc opened the interface of the System.

He scrolled over the features he could purchase to upgrade his System on the Purchaseable Features Menu. He only stopped scrolling after he found the one he searching for.

"Million..."

Loryarc gulped, looking at the sheer number of zeros piled behind the feature, which he thought might answer his uncertainty.

—[Main Menu: Consultation] ×1 (×1 = 1,000,000 KP.)

Loryarc couldn't help but sigh at the number. There would be a long way awaiting him ahead if he takes aim for this feature. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Just how many women should he kiss to get a million KP in hand?

[Kiss point: 2,056.]

Loryarc began to consider about to start to saving his KP from then on.

But he also wants to unlock features other than the Consultation Menu. He even needs to buy more Potion of Growth.

From kissing the ladies of the Marble Rose House, Loryarc could state confidently that the target, the complexity, and the difficulty of the Kiss Mission determine the amount of KP he would get as the reward.

For the complexity, Loryarc began to kiss the ladies more sensually, and it did raise the reward from 25-40 KP to 35-70 KP.

But as expected, that's still not enough.

He should increase his weekly KP.

He has only 7 months left before the Graduation Exhibition Festival.

2,000 KP a week. If he presumed that he could kiss every lady of the Marble Rose House every week for 7 months, he would only get at most 56,000 KP.

That is far from enough to unlock the Consultation Menu, not to mention his needs for those 7 months.

And at the very beginning, he couldn't even afford to hire the ladies of the Marble Rose House for those 7 months to kiss him with his predecessor's savings.

"Ah dammit..."

Loryarc sighed once more. His concern about all this only further piles up as he ponders it, and that's, in fact, ended up irritating him.

"What should I do now?"

He pinched his nose, frowning in contemplation. He should find a way somehow.

Think, Loryarc, think!

A week after awakening in this world with his System, Loryarc... Or Daniel, was facing his first worries of the future.

Worries, that was a manifestation of fear and uncertainty of the next.

Sometimes worries come true, while other times, worries are merely worries and never proved to come to knock on your door.

Loryarc's worries, however... Well, which is it?

With that, Loryarc's second long, long night in this world is being begun.
