" So I really do have a system. But… What does it do?" Jon asked in a confused tone, not knowing anything in particular about the system. Just then new information started to pop-up on the system screen.
[ BASIC FUNCTION UNLOCKED: SKILL UPGRADATION
FUNCTION DISCRIPTION: YOU CAN UPGRADE YOUR CURRENT SKILL LEVEL BY CONSUMING "SOURCE POINTS". THE AMOUNT OF SOURCE POINT CONSUMPTION VARIES AMONG DIFFERENT SKILLS. ]
"This is awesome! What skills do I have now? Should I click the "(EXPAND)" option on the skills mastered section of the main menu to see them?" Jon mused expanding the skills mastered option.
[ SKILL MASTERY: INCUBUS CULTIVATION ART

CURRENT EFFECT: SOMEWHAT EFFECTIVE AT INCREASING YOUR POTENCY BY TONIFYING YOUR KIDNYS. IT HAS A SLIGHT INVIGORATING EFFECT. ]
"Incubus cultivation art? So it is just a worthless method to increase sex drive… What was I expecting anyway? After all it was Cersei who taught it to the original owner. But it is the only skill I have, so I will try upgrading it." Jon said pressing the plus sign (LV.0+) on the system screen.
[ SORRY, YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH "SOURCE POINTS" TO UPGRADE. ]
"This system prompt is really user friendly, huh… Hey, system how do I acquire source points?" Jon tried asking the system. To his surprise the system responded.
[ SOURCE POINTS ARE SPENT WHEN SYSTEM FUNCTIONS ARE USED. SOURCE POINTS ARE GENERATED WHEN THE SYSTEM ABSORBS AND TRANSFORMS DISTURBANCES CAUSED BY THE HOST TO THE NATURAL WORLD. THE UNDERLYING THEORY IS VERY COMPLEX, IN SHORT, THE SYSTEM CAN COLLECT STRONG EMOTIONS OTHERS HAVE TOWARDS THE HOST TO ACQUIRE A SMALL AMOUNT OF SOURCE POINTS. ]
"Hmm… Strong emotions towards me…this seems simple enough, it will be a piece of cake." Jon said closing the system
[ THANK YOU FOR USING THE SYSTEM. YOU MAY SIMPLY SAY "SYSTEM PANEL" TO BRING UP THE DISPLAY. ]
With that the system display screen disappears.

After putting on an appropriate dress to go out , Jon opened to doors of his cottage. There he met Alice standing guard outside the residence.
"Where are you going?" she was surprised to see Jon leaving the cottage.
"I was starting to feel claustrophobic inside the room so I decided to take a walk outside." Jon replied in a casual tone.
"But, lady Cersei told you to…" she was interrupted before she could finish her sentence by a hard slap to the face.
"How dare you talk to me like that? You insolent maid!" Jon continued looking down on her with narrowed eyes "you shall address me as your lord."
'He struck me, he struck me, he struck me, he struck me, he struck me, he struck me, he struck me, he struck me, he struck me…' She was surprised, confused and extremely angry to be listing to him.
[ SOURCE POINTS OBTAINED (ANGER): 0.01 POINTS (ALICE) ]
'just as I thought, anger is the most likely to trigger strong emotions.' Confirmed Jon with the appearance of system notification.
"How dare you hit me?!" you could see smoke coming out of her ears and fire in her eyes.
"What? Could it be that you want to fight back? I'm ill and my body is frail can you face the consequences if something happens to me." Jon asked without a care in the world.
~Bang~
"I can't!" She punched a hole through the wooden door in anger.
[ SOURCE POINTS OBTAINED (ANGER): 0.01 POINTS (ALICE) ]
'Even a maid here has this much power. I must harvest more strong emotions if I am to escape.'
"What are you waiting for? Come hold me for a walk." Jon scolded her and offered his hands for her to hold, so that he can lean on her.
Alice takes the offered hand supporting his weight so he can walk more easily.
[ SOURCE POINTS OBTAINED (PLEASURE): 0.01 POINTS (ALICE) ]
Jon was surprised 'how do you gain pleasure from this? So it seem Alice likes to be scolded.'
--------------- break ---------------
As Jon and Alice where walking through the courtyard of the guild. They came across a group of female guild members.
"Greetings Alice, what brings you here today." Enquired on of the ladies, bringing the attention of the group towards Alice and Jon.
"It's because my lord wanted to take a walk." Alice politely replied, remembering to address Jon as her lord.
"Isn't he Cersei's husband" asked the same lady taking Jon's hand from Alice. And the remaining ladies gathered closely around him with no regards to his personal space.
"He is very handsome, I would like to get a taste of him." A redhead said running her hands along Jon's torso.
"If you are free, we could go somewhere to have a some fun." A blondie said locking Jon's free arm with her hands.
"heehee… Beware lady Cersei might tear you up for trying to steal her man." A lady reminded them playfully.
But Jon was not fooled by their beauty 'As expected this guild is fill with wicked women. We might have gotten along if they won't try to take drain my life-force.'
"Yo! Isn't that lady Cersei's boy-toy" a gang of three rowdy looking men said walking up to them, puffing out their chest like a peacock, and trying to gain the attention of the ladies.
"Look at his wretched appearance, I don't know how many more times he will be able to handle her." Peacock number one.
"He has been staying inside the room for sometime now, I thought lady Cersei already killed him." Peacock number two.
"I think lady Cersei would soon get rid of this useless waste of a boy-toy." Peacock number three.
"Did you remember to wash your mouth today." Jon asked in a bored tone.
"What did you just say?" asked the gang in a threatening voice.
"I said your breath smells like piss. Did you gargle with that in the morning, did you?" Jon asked pinching his nose as if to block the foul smell.
This seem to have enraged the group of men.
"You good-for-nothing waste of space, you aren't even an official member of the guild, so there is nothing stopping me from ending your miserable…"
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Jon asked interrupting them.
This seem to have given them a pause.
"Today my honey told me toughen up and stand up to anyone who bully me. And she would take care of anyone who harms me in retaliation." Jon told them with a sinister smile on his face. Jon knows that even though Cersei never cared about the real Jon of this world she would never let any harm come to him until she gets his blessing of mana.
There is a rank system in the guild, it is mostly decided based on combat power and potential of growth of an individual. D-rank being the lowest to A-rank being the top position a normal member can achieve. Then above A-rank is the S-rank these are the most powerful and influential members of the guild. All S-rank members are at least a one star celestial stage mage. As such there only a few S-ranks in the guild, most of them are the guild executives.
Cersei is a eight star initial stage mage and the formal disciple of the guild leader. The only thing holding her back from an S-rank is her mana realm, if she where to make a breakthrough into the celestial stage then she could easily get the S-rank status and an executive position in the guild. As such Cersei's status is very high even among the A-rank members.
The threat of Cersei seems to be effective as their angry faces changed into a fearful expression.
"You losers are shitting your pants over a single women. Don't you have balls?...you sons of ***… " Jon started raining insults over them.

'Cersei will certainly put up with me as long as she wants my blessing of mana. I can do what ever I want under her name. I could gain a steady flow of source points and at the same time avenge the previous Jon, it's like killing two birds with one stone. This was my plan to begin with, these rowdy bunch just volunteered themselves to be first among my victims. I won't let anyone who insulted and humiliated the previous Jon get away with it. Now then, who's next?' Jon every public places inside the guild where non-official members are allowed to rain verbal abuse on who ever humiliated or insulted the previous Jon, and it was a very long list of people.

This went on till the hour of the bats.

Jon was sitting alone in his residence after a day's hard work.
"System panel"
[ SOURCE POINTS: 3.41 ]
"I cursed people the entire day. My throat is sour from cursing all those who wronged the previous Jon and only got 3 source points to show for it. These source points are very hard to obtain. No matter, now I can finally upgrade my skill. I must say I am pretty excited." Said Jon pressing on the plus sign to upgrade Incubus cultivation art.

"Wow! I advanced, I never thought upgrading a skill will increase my realm. I can feel the formation of a mana star inside my heart."
~bang~
Cersei entered the room with a furious expression "I have heard about what you…" Cersei stopped mid-sentence taken aback.
"Honey, you have returned." Jon said in a seductive tone lying in bed half naked. He regained his health, due to the upgrade in the Incubus skill. All this added to his sex appeal.
"Jon? what are you..." Cersei was flustered.
"my lady, I've figured out some new 'tricks'. I am sure you will love it." Jon invited her in a sweet voice.
"Is that so" Cersei said pondering 'although this brat is good looking, he has always been naive, is he finally starting to understand how things work in the world. Then be it, I will bite. It would be a shame not to enjoy him'
"Then let me see." Cersei said taking the offered hand and joining Jon in bed.
