Revenge Begins: Reincarnated as a Hated Idol!

The system’s voice rang in his mind, its screen shimmering into existence.

[Ding!]

[Hidden Stat Unlocked!]

Aren’s chestnut brown eyes widened slightly when he heard the system’s words. In front of his eyes, on the system screen, a black lock emerged, which soon unlocked, and then dissipated, revealing the updated status window.

Hidden Stat (Unlocked)

----------------------------------

On his status window screen, his hidden stat began to sparkle, shimmering as new text replaced it, revealing the name of the stat he had just unlocked.

Pleasure –> C [+]

Aren stared at the new stat—bewildered and puzzled.

Was this really the stat... system had been hiding from him all this time? What caused it to unlock all of a sudden? What did this stat represent?

He had a few guesses regarding the answers to all those questions.

However, he still decided to ask the system directly to confirm his guesses.

First, though, he had to move. He was still standing right outside the washroom door like some kind of pervert. If Lisa stepped out and saw him lingering there, she’d think he was trying to listen in. No way was he risking that.

Quietly, he crossed to the bed, stripped off the cum-stained sheets with quick, efficient movements, and replaced them with the crisp spares the hotel had left folded on the nightstand. The fresh linen smelled faintly of lavender detergent. Once the bed was made, he climbed onto it, leaned back against the headboard, and finally spoke in a low, suppressed voice.

"System," he murmured, "what is this new stat? Can you explain?"

A brief second of silence followed. Then the system’s calm, neutral voice filled his head once more.

[Host, the Pleasure Stat represents your overall ability in bed—stamina, technique, understanding of a woman’s desires, and the skill to make her crave you. Investing in it will allow you to conquer a woman’s body completely, making her addicted to your touch. It also unlocks the skill: Addiction Level.]

[A single use of Addiction Level lets you see exactly how addicted a woman is to you. However, it costs one hundred Fame points per activation.]

Aren nodded in understanding with a calm expression.

However, soon his facade broke.

With a forced smile, lips twitching, he asked: "Then why is my Pleasure Stat only at C+? This must be a mistake, right?"

He had been married for 22 years in his past life. Had he only managed to hone his skills to this level? That cannot be, right? He took pride in his techniques, and they only managed to get him to C+? He couldn’t accept that. There must’ve been an error in calculating his stat.

He expected the system to apologize and show his real evaluation. However, the system’s response crushed him.

[There is no mistake, host.]

[...C+ is not bad...]

Aren stared at the system screen, screaming in his heart: ’Are you consoling me right now? Do you take pity on me? At least I can sleep with a woman! What right do you have to pity me?’

However, on the outside, he maintained a polite smile, requesting: "Can you explain why I only have a C+ evaluation in pleasure? What am I missing?"

Aren couldn’t accept this evaluation without a proper explanation. After 22 years of honing his craft, was he still lacking so much? At least he needed to know his shortcomings; otherwise, how would he improve upon them?

He glared at the system, waiting for an answer, which came shortly after.

[Host, C+ is already a good evaluation since the average evaluation is D. Not many men have such a high skill in this area.]

"I don’t want to hear it." Aren growled, slightly annoyed, "Give me an explanation."

He thought maybe the system didn’t have an explanation and was just trying to evade his question. However, he couldn’t accept his evaluation without an explanation. It was a matter of pride. Moreover, it made him slightly insecure.

Was this why Amelia...

But before he could even let that doubt form, he already had an answer.

’That bitch was betraying me from the moment we met. Even the daughter she had 21 years ago isn’t mine; that tells me all that I need to know.’

At this moment, the system responded.

[Host, let me explain since you insist. You lack in a few areas. Fetishes, dirty talk, rough sex are a few to name. You try to be too gentle, which can be not too arousing for some women.]

Aren remained silent for a long while, pondering on the flaws the system mentioned. He could see what the system meant. In his past life, he was too soft with Amelia, never calling her dirty names, not being rough with her. He also never had sex in public places or in humiliating positions. He didn’t explore enough... he realized it now.

"So if I invest in Pleasure Stat..." he inquired, "what will happen? Will I suddenly start doing rough sex and dirty talk?"

[No, Host. The stat improves you the same way your other stats do. You will instinctively know what to do, how to move, where to touch. Every woman is different, and the stat will help you read her sensitive spots and hidden fetishes once you engage in sex with her.]

[Moreover, if you invest in Pleasure stat and raise it, your stamina will improve and you will last longer. Additionally, your penis size will increase by a few centimeters each time you raise a level.]

Aren nodded in understanding.

While he was pondering on how to proceed, the washroom door opened, and Lisa emerged out of it, wearing light pink satin top and shorts.

Aren’s gaze drifted to her figure, prompting her to evade his gaze and look away with a flushed expression. She immediately shuffled to the clothes basket and dropped her previous clothes in it. They would be washed by the hotel staff later.

Without looking at him, she walked to the bed, climbing on it as she lied down. She didn’t speak, only feeling her heart racing. She closed her eyes, acting to sleep.

Aren looked at her and smiled, finding her cute as he switched off the lights.

As soon as he switched off the lights and lied down, Lisa slid close to him and wrapped her hand around his waist.

Aren smiled, gave her a peck on the forehead, and pulled her closer into his arms before sleeping. He left the Pleasure Stat a worry for later.

On this night, for the first time, he didn’t move apart from her to fall asleep as they fell into a peaceful slumber in each other’s arms.
