Shortly after hearing his mother call out to her children, Samuel found himself outside of the warm house and kicking stones on the quint little driveway of the house.
'I don't think I have the heart to face her yet. I just hope… she's not too down from eating alone... Again.'
Samuel put away the depressing thoughts that threatened to set off an emotional outburst from him. He knew his mother had spent many of her evenings alone as her children seldom left their rooms or spoke to her. Thinking along this line, he thought to delay mending his relationship with his mother for another day.
"But the outside… it's not too bad." Samuel said airily, as he took in a deep breath of the night air. As a morbidly obese shut-in in his last life, he had not taken a step outside of his room for five years. Even now, he would have been reluctant to leave his bedroom, by jumping out the window, had it not been for the feelings of guilt plaguing him while he was in his house.
'Ah, whatever. Let's just get back to learning about the system. System, could you…'
Samuel's thought process was suddenly interrupted as he heard his next-door neighbour's door rattling, and then swiftly swung open. Out came a furious, drunken-looking man.
"You stupid bitch! Don't drink this, don't drink that! Who needs the advice of woman anyway, huh? I'll just go someplace I can drink."
"Wait!"
The call to wait was thoroughly ignored as the man stormed out of the house and got into the driver's seat of his vehicle before the car immediately pulled out of the driveway. The sleek sedan then accelerated down the street, before turning a corner and disappearing out of view of the woman at the door and Samuel.
The abrupt events had shocked Samuel who had only just come out of the house for some fresh air and a chance to get his thoughts together. Had he known such a commotion would take place, he might have remained in the comfort of his own home, and not in the slightly awkward position he found himself in now.
The woman, for her part, had not yet seen Samuel, who was staring at her intently. She closed her eyes and just stood there for a minute trying to prevent the tears from running down her full cheeks.
'There's no point wasting my tears over someone who's lost their love for me. Get it together, Emily.'
Reassuring herself, she opened her sodden eyes and turned to get back into the house, when she suddenly stopped.
A few meters ahead of her, standing in the driveway next door with overgrown weeds between the bricks, stood a young man with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
"Samuel! Haa… I'm sorry you had to see that."
The woman visibly deflated when she realised her husband's antics had been caught by the boy living next door. She had watched Samuel grow up for the better part of his life, and it felt slightly demeaning to her for him to have witnessed the argument between the couple.
'Fuck! What's her name again…? Oh, right. I'd always call her…'
"Oh no, no. It's fine Miss Cooper. But… are you alright?"
Confused about how he should continue the conversation, knowing that she probably felt as uncomfortable as he did, he decided to just check up on her.
"Haha… don't sweat it. I'm all good. Have you had dinner yet? Why don't you come and join me? It's been a while since I've last seen you." Responded the woman while faintly motioning for him to come join her.
Samuel was a little hesitant about accepting the offer to dine at his neighbour's house just as she had an argument with her husband. After such a situation, he could not say whether or not leaving the person alone to think over the problem, or entertaining a guest to get their mind off of the situation was better, but his rationale told him to choose the safer option and leave before he got dragged in by the inviting clutches of his neighbour.
But the stomach of the young man had another thought altogether, as it grumbled loudly at that exact moment, giving away his hungry status to the woman looking for an excuse to pull the boy in to enjoy her cooking.
"Ahaha! That settles it then, Samuel. Come inside, I've made some stir-fry that'll go to waste if you don't eat it!"
With a healthy red hue colouring his embarrassed cheeks, Samuel nodded and made to follow the woman through the front door she held open for him. However, a chime suddenly echoed within his mind as blue system text flitted across his vision once again.
[Ding! Missions have been generated. Host is advised to complete missions within the time limit in order to receive rewards.]
[Mission 1: Have sexual intercourse with a MILF]

[Reward 2: -1% Body Fat, +1% Muscle Mass]
[Time limit: 1 month]
[Mission 3: Claim beginner pack]
[Reward 3: Beginner pack contents]
[Time limit: Unlimited]
Samuel just stood there stupefied at what he was seeing right now. He had some expectations when he saw the missions section in his system panel, but he would never have expected such… generous rewards as his first mission.
'A whole inch to my penis?! I was quite happy with what I have right now since a lot of the fat from my last life isn't covering my dick, but to be able to actually make my schlong bigger… I must've used my entire life's luck obtaining this beast of a system.'
Mentally fist-pumping in his mind, the excited young adult didn't notice the look of confusion appear in his neighbour's eyes.
"Samuel… aren't you coming inside?"
"Ah right, right. Coming!" Still excited about the prospects of his sex system, Samuel decided to follow behind the back of the lonely woman.
As they walked down the hallway towards where the dining and kitchen area were- Samuel had visited the house a few years back and so was somewhat familiar with the layout- the teenager's eyes narrowed in on the curvaceous rear end of his hospitable neighbour which was accentuated by the stretch jeans she wore.
Below the rounded buttocks was a set of juicy, plump thighs- thighs that belonged in the wet dreams of every horny male teenager, and not on the hot body of the MILF next door.
'Wait… would she qualify for my first mission? Is she even a MILF? I don't think she has any children though. What do you make of it, System?'
[System evaluates Emily Cooper to be a MILF based upon Host's understanding.]
'Ah, I see. Yes, that makes sense. I consider a MILF to be a sexually attractive older woman who would typically have children, although having children is not necessary to make the cut. As long as they have the desirable assets expected of a MILF and appear to be of a certain age group, a woman can be safely classified as a MILF. Perfect!'
Rejoicing at the realisation that his next-door neighbour could be considered a full-fledged MILF, Samuel had missed out on the glaringly large issue of whether he would be able to bed her. This thought would only later arise, however, as the older woman had just arrived in the kitchen with a young man half her age in tow.
The kitchen area was fairly large, with an island and stools right in the middle where a family could eat their breakfast together. As the household had an open design, the kitchen was directly beside the dining area, which would be where lunch and dinner were consumed by a family. Unfortunately for the older woman known as Emily Cooper, the dining area was seldom used except for the occasional work party her husband used to hold.
"Samuel, come take a seat while I prepare a plate for you."
"Mhm."
Taking a seat on the stool closest to the Hayes matriarch, Samuel noticed that she was only preparing a single plate.
"Miss Cooper? Won't you be eating with me?"
"I'm not too hungry. I'll grab a drink and join you though!" Replied Emily while looking back at the teenager who had a curious gaze.
'Huh? You're skipping meals? How are you going to maintain that beautiful ass of yours if you don't eat?!'
Despite Samuel thinking less-than-saintly thoughts in his mind, his face remained impassive as he just nodded in response to the buxom lady beside him.
