I made it to Trinity Square and looked at my phone, searching for Giovanni.
"Looking for me?" Giovanni asked from behind me.
I looked back and black feathers surrounded him. I was a bit surprised to see his appearance. "Those feathers."
"No need to be alarmed. I'm not going to hurt you. Just think of it as a guy's day out." Giovanni said then placed his hands in his pockets.
Giovanni didn't wear his hat so I could see his facial features. He short black hair and his bangs covered his left eye, but an eyepatch was visible. His eyes were a dark yellow and he had a smile on his face. He had a nicely trimmed beard and mustache. He had three earrings on his left ear. He wore a gray button up shirt, black pants and shoes.
"You don't need to dress like me to be a natural at picking up women. Now walk with me, son. There are two Casanovas you can be. A True Casanova who merely only has sex with that woman and pushes them aside, like me, or you can be a Semi-Casanova aka A Romeo where you'll build a relationship with the women you meet. A Harem as you all would call it." Giovanni said as he walked ahead.
I walked beside him and looked ahead. "Is there anything wrong with being a Romeo?"
"Not at all, my boy. Not everyone can be a Casanova. That would mean just using that woman for sex and nothing else. I don't consider myself to have a harem, but the women I fucked decide to stay with me." Giovanni said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Money, Fame, and a superstar in the bedroom. Aside from that, they genuinely love me. Smooth talk can take you a very long way. Ladies like being told what they want to hear, but unlike you, I can read minds so it's easier for me to just speak to them and know what they want." Giovanni said.
"So what are we doing here at the Plaza?" I asked.
"We are going to the mall to get you a new wardrobe, and I'll help you pick up some women. You want to be sexually active right? You have to work for it, smooth talk them, get them interested in you. That means doing things that are outside the box. Another reason we are going to the mall is because Saturdays and Sundays, you'll always see women here shopping and shit so this is a perfect time to pick some up." Giovanni said.
We walked inside of the mall and I looked around. As Giovanni said, there were a lot of women in the mall. Some were college students, some looked like single mothers, there were tomboys, just about every kind of woman you could think of.
Giovanni stopped me by putting his arm in front of me. He snapped his fingers and a phone appeared in his hand. "You'll be needing this."
"The hell's this?" I asked.
"It's a System. A phone called Dreamdroid." Giovanni said.
"Let me guess, you also own a massive phone company that's called Virtual Dreamscape?" I asked.
"Oddly specific but yes." Giovanni chuckled. "Take it, it'll prove to be useful to you."
I grabbed the phone from his hand then turned it on. I had to go through the set up process and once it was finished, it looked like any other phone. A bunch of useless apps you'll never use and some apps you'll literally spend days on.
"Alright here. There's a feature on the phone called Dream World. You can create your own virtual avatar to go out and do jobs and earn money for you which gets transferred to your actual bank account." Giovanni started.
"Okay?" I said then looked at Giovanni.
"It also can track your stats, your jobs and how much you earn on a regular, your hobbies, which also affects your traits. Everything that happens to your avatar happens to you in real life when you sleep. Go ahead and get it started." Giovanni said.
I sat down at a bench and Giovanni sat down next to me and watched. I created my little avatar in Dream World then went through the tutorial and looked at all of the options. The options were Girls, Jobs, Hobbies, Stats, Texts, and Events.
"Every girl you meet will be registered with their crucial information that's important to you and doesn't have any of that senseless shit. It records their Name, of course, Age, Birthday, Hobby, Blood Type, Favorite Job, Favorite Food, Gift Preference, Occupation, Favorite Trait, and their Bust Size. That's all you need to know." Giovanni said.
"Blood Type and Bust Size? Do I really need to know that?" I asked.
"Do you know who you're asking that to? By knowing a woman's Blood Type, you know what type of blood she needs just in case something happens to her and her bust size? What man doesn't want to know the size of a woman's breast when they are planning get busy with her?" Giovanni said then stood up. "Anyway you can focus on the system later. First we have to get you a new wardrobe and get you started on your dating journey."
I stood up and followed Giovanni. We walked around the mall and he began to tell me about his life. To give a run down, Giovanni is half human, half non human and is about 38 years old. He used to be a mercenary in his early to mid twenties and retired to make and own businesses using his supernatural and science abilities. No one is surprised about Giovanni since he is so widely known around the world for his business. He's currently richer than Jeff Bezos and Musk combined when they were in their prime years ago. He literally has no competition and every entrepreneur respects Giovanni.
We finally finished shopping for clothes for me after an hour of finding clothes and trying them on. He transported the bags of my clothes to my house by making them disperse into black feathers then the feathers dispersed into magic particles. I watched in awe and rose an eyebrow.
"Will I ever learn to do that?" I asked.
"Are you a non human?" Giovanni asked.
"No." I answered.
"Then no." Giovanni said then walked ahead. "Anyway, onwards to your first lesson. When trying to seduce women and get with them, don't use unspoken rizz or whatever the young ones are doing now. It's all about the game you have. Go up and talk to her, but don't be weird or anything of the sort. Be smooth with it, if you're too aggressive you'll lose your chance."
"Okay. Can you give me an example?" I asked.
Giovanni nodded then spotted a woman sitting alone on a bench and texting on her phone. He walked over to her and sat on the bench as well. He placed his arm on the back of the bench then looked down. "Hey."
The woman looked at Giovanni and looked around then pointed at herself. "Are you talking to me?"
"I don't see any other pretty faces I could be speaking to." Giovanni smiled.
The woman blushed and immediately got shy. "O-Oh! Uhm! That's...really kind of you.." She smiled and looked at her lap.
"The name's Giovanni, who might you be?" He asked.
"I'm...I'm Vanessa. It's nice to meet you." Vanessa said.
"Vanessa...a beautiful name. Here, I'll give you my number and maybe we can arrange something later today." Giovanni smiled.
"O-Okay!" Vanessa said then handed him her phone.
"Nah, that's not fair. He already has hella experience talking to women. It's never that easy.." I said to myself.
Giovanni walked back over to me after getting Vanessa's number. "See it's that easy. All you need is game and basic flirting technique."
"You're an extremely handsome guy who already has hella experience talking to women like that. I'm a newbie who can only speak to women I already know." I said.
"I would say we all start from somewhere, but I literally started at the top so I can see where your dilemma stems from. Although you are more confident socially, you're still not sexually confident. Alright, let's do this alright. Annabelle is here right now with her friends. I gave her the day off. You and her already met but you don't really know anything about her. What better way to grow confident is there other than starting with what you know." Giovanni said.
"Alright that's something my speed. So where is she?" I asked.
"Hold on there tiger. Before we pursue her, you gotta learn about Dream World and how it registers women. You actually have to have their number to even register a woman. By having said woman in your contacts, the system can basically register that specific woman. So you have to woo her. You have to give her a reason to want to meet with you again. It's easy having good looks with my company, but it takes skill to develop those seduction skills to woo a woman." Giovanni said.
"What should I say to her then? Like you said I know nothing about her and she knows only the basics about me." I said.
Giovanni stuck his hands in his pockets and smiled. "You tell her a joke or compliment her. You are new to this, you can't really just go up to women like me and just seduce them. You see, my Suave is maxed out so I'm pretty much a Lady Killer."
"Oh it's like a Man Eater but for guys?" I asked.
"Well I feel as though Man Eater and Lady Killer are two different things. One is able to habitually seduce and one chews up their target and throw them away once they are useless." Giovanni said.
I tried to make sense of it, but being a Casanova and being a Man Eater are the exact same. I rubbed the back of my head and just nodded so we could move on.
"Ahh, there she is. She's sitting alone on that bench there reading a manga. It seems like she's waiting for her friends. Go up to her and tell her a joke. Say something that will make her curious and get to know you better." Giovanni said then pat my back, pushing me forward.
I walked forward and walked over to Annabelle. I sat on the bench then looked at Giovanni and he gave me a thumbs up and smiled. I looked at Annabelle. "Hey, Annabelle."
Annabelle looked up from her manga then looked at me then smiled. "Oh hey uhhh...Leon right? I remember your voice."
"Yeah I'm Leon." I smiled.
'All you gotta do is gain her curiosity. There's no point in going for a kill right now.' I thought to myself.
"I see you're reading a manga, what manga is it?" I asked.
She showed me the cover of it. "It's called End of Time."
"Oh shit, you read that too?" I asked.
"Wait you know this series?" She asked and turned her body to face me.
"Know it? I've been following it since it was first announced! You can say I am a bit of a geek when it comes down to anime and manga." I chuckled.
"Who's your favorite character? Mine is Saito Masuda. She's so good when it comes to manipulating people to get to do whatever she wants!" Annabelle said.
"Mine is definitely Renjiro. Yeah he's the main antagonist but man his logic and reasoning for doing things makes him look like the hero." I said.
Annabelle nodded and smiled. "Oh I like him too, when he told the protagonist his full plan and still won after the protagonist knew of his plan and had every single tool in his disposal to stop Renjiro. That was such a badass moment! I was really going crazy especially when he said,"
"I gave you every tool you needed to beat me, but you didn't account for the measures I would take to counter my own tools." We both said at the same time.
Annabelle squealed when I said his quote at the same time she did. "Yes! I'm so happy you know that quote!"
Giovanni watched and chuckled softly. He crossed his arms and was proud to watch me and Annabelle bond over a manga. He was like a proud father watching his son take his first steps into manhood or a very supportive friend when it came to being a wingman.
[Annabelle's Mood: Pleased]
'Mood? Wait what is that interface..?' I thought to myself then noticed Annabelle's friends walking out the store.
"Well it was nice talking to you, Leon." Annabelle smiled then stood up. "Oh wait! Here take this I'd like to talk to you more about the manga sometime."
I watched as she wrote down her number then handed it to me. She walked off with her friends then heard a victory chime then looked at my phone.
"The hell?" I asked myself.
[Obtained Annabelle's Number!]
[Daily Task: Obtain a woman's number (Complete!)]
[Reward: Dream Token x1]
"Well well well. You obtained Annabelle's number first try." Giovanni chuckled and walked to me.
"Uhm, Giovanni. Why am I seeing these holographic screens whenever the system does something?" I asked. "Can everyone see it?"
"Nope. This is basically your system. You're the only one who can see the pop ups and what not." Giovanni crossed his arms. "Once you activated the system, it basically allows you to see things that you would have to look at your phone for in reality. Unlike other systems, you can't really...buy gifts and have them appear or stuff like that, but physical and mental attributes do get added to you once you go to sleep. It's like saving in a video game when you go to sleep. Everything gets added to you and by the next day you'll have all your skills and talents in reality."
"Wow...it's almost like a Dream." I said.
Giovanni looked at me. I looked at Giovanni. He nodded at me and turned away then spread his black wings. "Remember this, sport. The best way to pick up a girl is to literally be yourself. A woman likes it more if you are to be yourself than to be someone you're not. Seduction should be authentic and genuine instead of boring and forced. The art of being a Romeo is to be genuine. Oh and when you get a woman's number, don't forget to add them to your phone. If you need me, you know where to find me and the number to call."
I watched as Giovanni wrapped his wings around his body then disappeared, leaving behind black feathers. I noticed he left behind a note. I picked it up and opened it.
The note read, "Every woman has some form of requirements to move onto the next step in your relationship. Luckily your system will have that prepared for you so you don't have to go on an entire quest to figure it out. Take it from me, women can be complicated but with the Dream World System you don't have to suffer and scramble your head over it. ALSO, doing this line of work will make other men jealous. I know you have enemies, some women like it when you conquer your foe. Make sure to hit the gym and books. As the Dream World is only passive gain until you sleep. Don't overly rely on the System. Have fun with your system as there will be many women for you to meet, love, steal and have sex with. Your journey is only just beginning.
I finished reading the note and smiled. I looked up with pride and determination. I was finally going to become sexually active and build bonds with the women of my choosing. I decided to go ahead and add Annabelle's number into my phone.
