Although Kenny nodded his head in reply to Layla, his attention wasn't on her or Kate at all. Instead, he was looking at his updated status panel.

Kenny had no idea how good his stats were in comparison to the rest of the world, but the increase alone he received due to his gift was massive. Seeing the direct gains he received, just for having sex, made him truly realize how powerful it was.
He could already imagine himself fucking the most powerful women in the world, no, the universe, and being stronger than anyone else in terms of sheer numbers.
Of course, he wouldn't resort to any forceful methods to strengthen himself. Kenny believed that with his new appearance, along with his personality and skill, there weren't any women he couldn't sleep with.
It might be arrogant, but Kenny believed that with who he was, it was confidence.
"Kate. Hey Kate," Layla said, speaking right into the sleeping woman's ear. She was kneeling next to Kate in the shower, her tantalizing, naked buttocks sticking out in Kenny's direction.
"Hurry up and stop sleeping, you've had a good enough nap. I'm starving, we've got to finish taking a shower and everything."
At this, Kate finally reacted, stirring and bringing her arms up to her lavender eyes, rubbing them. She then stretched her body like a cat, arcing her back which caused her large breasts to stick out.
A sudden jitter ran through Kate, and she subconsciously reached down to her vulva, gently touching it. She seemed to recall what happened prior to her nap, causing a deep red blush to appear on her face.
"Did I fall unconscious?" she mumbled to herself, unwilling to meet Kenny or Layla's amused looks.
Hearing her, Layla bounded towards her with a massive grin. "It was good, wasn't it?"
Kate didn't know how to respond. She shakily stood up but kept her head lowered, in apparent reflection over the various sensations that had engulfed her.
"I-it was good," she murmured. Layla's grin widened.
"Oh? What did you say? I'm afraid you're going to have to speak up, Doc."
Kate gritted her teeth, clearly realizing that Layla was messing with her.
"I said, it was good!" she said, shouting at the end. "There, happy now?"
"Yes I am," Layla replied nonchalantly, not bothered by Kate's anger in the slightest.
However, Kate's nose twitched. "What's that smell?" she asked, looking around the shower and at Kenny and Layla, her eyebrows scrunched together.
"It's probably from me and Kenny having sex. Oh, that reminds me. You gotta do it with him. Compared to the fingering you got, it's a hundred times better."
Kate's eyes widened but it wasn't at Layla's remarks. "You had sex already? So did Kenny get your stats?"
Now it was Layla's turn to be speechless.
"I completely forgot!" she exclaimed with a wry chuckle.
At this, both of the beauties attention turned to Kenny. He had nothing to hide, so he quickly allowed them to see his status panel and opened it, showing them the changes.
"He really got a hundred percent of my stats!" Layla exclaimed. "That's insane! A level one with stats like that should be unprecedented among humans. I'm level twenty-six and his stats are now greater than mine!"
Kate nodded her head, but her expression was much more serious. "This can't be told to anyone. With a gift like Kenny's, the whole universe would want to either control or kill him."
"I agree," Layla said, looking at Kenny. "You can't tell anyone about your gift. If you have to tell someone, just say it's related to boosting your stats by a percentage. If it were anyone besides us, you probably wouldn't have any free will."
Kenny nodded his head. "I understand. I wont let anyone know about it. But are there any gifts or items that would allow someone to see my status, though?"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads. "Not that I know of," Layla said. "It's definitely possible though. I would be careful because in the end, there are countless gifts and abilities. It is impossible for one person to be completely invincible."
Kenny felt this made sense. While his ability certainly was strong, all it did was increase his stats. Against something that could ignore his strength, he would have to be careful.
Thinking along these lines, he asked, "Can you tell me more about gifts and just power in general? I feel like I need to know these things before I start doing anything."
"Of course," Kate replied. "I was actually planning to tomorrow. I would have already today, but it's getting late and we still have to finish taking a shower and eat on top of that."
And so, the rest of the shower passed uneventfully. Exiting it, the three of them all dried themselves and left for the kitchen after getting "dressed".
"What do you want to eat, Layla," Kate asked, filling up three glass cups with water from the refrigerator. She walked over to the table where Kenny and Layla were sitting.
Having left the shower, Kenny wore a simple pair of unisex cream-colored shorts as Kate didn't have any underwear for him yet. Layla had on a red bra and panties and Kate wore the same, just that their colors were purple rather than red.
"I'm fine with whatever you want, as long as you can get it quick," Layla said, her stomach rumbling at the same time as if to emphasize her point.
Kate laughed and said, "I'll order some good pizza then. We are celebrating Kenny's, uh, birth."
"That's fine," Layla replied.
Kenny nodded as well. Kate then made the call and not even five minutes later, the pizza arrived.
With Kate opening the door, Kenny saw that it was not a person who delivered it but a robot. While it appeared in a female humanoid shape, the being was made of a glossy silver-like metal with blue hair, eyes and lips.
The robot handed the two boxes to Kate and she thanked it before closing the door. A delicious aroma soon pervaded the apartment, causing Kenny's stomach to growl in anticipation as well.
Placing the boxes down in the table's center, the three of them didn't hesitate to dig in, directly grabbing slices and eating.
Kenny couldn't help but remark about how good the pizza was. Compared to anything he had eaten in his past life; this was many times better.
"Of course it's good," Layla laughed. "Naturally, I wouldn't let Kate get anything but the best for this day. Oh, and speaking of best, why don't you bring out the wine?"
Kate nodded, heading back to the refrigerator and opening a special compartment. She came back carrying a sealing wine bottle and three glasses. From the apparent age of the paper wrapping it, the wine looked quite old.
"Now then, here's to our future success!" Layla said, holding up her glass after Kate filled it. Kenny and Kate matched her and clinked their glasses together before taking a sip of the wine.
Like the pizza, Kenny found that the wine was incredibly good, having a deep richness while not being too fruity. From the women's conversations and his occasional questioning, learned a lot about many things, increasing his knowledge of the world.
The trio soon had their fill of pizza and drinks, the bottle of wine being half empty while the boxes only having some sauce on them.
"I still have work tomorrow but since it's Friday, I'll probably be able to get off early after making a report about some changes that need to be made to the dildo," Layla casually mentioned, rapping her finger on the table while supporting her head with her arm.
"That's fine, while you're gone I'll teach Kenny more about the world and universe in general," Kate said. "You can go and get him registered when you come over and we'll see how things go from there."
"I'm fine with that."
"Then," Kate started. "I'm going to get ready for bed. I'm pretty tired and sleeping in the shower seemed to only aggravate it."
Saying so, she got up and walked to her room, leaving Layla and Kenny. Layla got up as well, taking the stuff from the table and throwing it out or putting it away. Kenny also helped out; he did feel bad for freeloading, especially since he technically was in a great deal debt to the two.
"Well Kenny," Layla began, a smirk on her face. "Where do you want to sleep? You going to take the couch, or… are you going to go sleep with Kate tonight."
Her question caused Kenny to pause mid-step. Rubbing the back of his head, he smiled and said, "Well, I don't really want to sleep on the couch…"
Hearing his reply, Layla laughed and slapped his back. "Good shit! I have to go back to my place so I can't stay the night here and I'm sure Kate wants you to stay close to the lab and her just in case. Make sure to take good care of her for me."
After saying her goodbyes, Layla then exited the apartment, leaving for her own. Kenny sighed. So much has happened in the last day but this new life left him with things that he only looked forward to. Compared to his old one, it was like the difference between heaven and hell.
Putting a smile on his face, he walked over to Kate's room and, as the door was still open and lights were on, entered.
Seeing that Kate wasn't in directly there, Kenny walked over to the closed bathroom door and knocked on it before asking.
"Hey, um, Kate, do you think I can sleep with you tonight?"
