Chereads / The Village of Depravity / Chapter 3 - Arthur's touch

Chapter 3 - Arthur's touch

*A few years later.

With a loud hump, Arthur landed on the ground, his small feet moving fast as he dashed into the forest.

"Arthur! Come back!" A female yelled, chasing right after him, she had long black hair and was wearing purple shorts with black high socks.

"Arthur!" She called out, charging into the forest to catch up to him, suddenly reaching inside, she stopped, looking around, "How is he able to move that …fast?" She panted.

Arthur, hiding behind a tree, watched as the lady ran past the other side in an attempt to find him.

A sigh left his mouth, "Great she's gone, the ladies in the village can be such a bother sometimes." He spoke as he stood up from the ground.

Throughout his years in the village, Arthur had learned a few things, like the village being in the west side of the city, Astoria.

Astoria is an academy ground for children attending the magic institute in the kingdom, the whole city was basically a hostel for students attending the prestigious academy.

'Now that I got her off my back, I think it's time I figured this thing out.' Arthur said to himself, his gaze stern as he called out, "Ero.".

{Aimon here… how can I be of service.}

The female-like voice replied to him, at the right corner of his eyes, he could see a rotating cube, radiating with a bright blue color.

'Because of the women always staying close to me, I didn't have time to check this out… is this the gift the goddess handed to me?' Arthur thought to himself.

"What are you?" He asked the voice.

{I'm glad you asked, you can call me the Ero system, basically, my task is to turn your Ero points into Magic essence for you to grow stronger, have stats, skills, whatever comes to mind}

"Ero…points?" Arthur asked back.

{Yes, see what Ero does is, she gives out task based on the scenario and algorithm, and host complete these quest to gain Ero points that can be turned into the stuffs I said earlier}

'Interesting, no doubt this was the gift that goddess said she'd give me.' Arthur spoke to himself, his eyes still focused on the rotating cube. "Wait, what kind of task?".

Suddenly, the lady who had been chasing him showed up, her voice soothing as she closed the distance, "Arthur! There you are, geez, don't run off like that." She spoke, picking him up and positioning him in her hands.

Arthur sighed inward, knowing the woman found him meant he had to stop his research, he hadn't even gotten the time to check if he could use magic like the rest of the villagers.

As if snapping him from his thoughts, Arthur's gaze fell on something, boobies. The lady carrying him had some huge knockers and she was pressing his ball body against it.

Immediately, the system in his head spoke, a small template showing up on the left side of his vision.

<<1- Squeeze her boobs [34 E points]

2 - Squeeze and suck [ 64 E points]

3- Do nothing [-10 E points] >>

'W…what is this? Are these supposed to be the quests the system was talking about?' He spoke to himself, his eyes fixed on the template in front of him.

*Skipped because of guidelines*

…..

{Quest completed: Squeeze her boobs and suck.}

{64 E points obtained..

Extra 15 E points obtained}

Cid's child-like frame sat on the floor in the room, his mom, Luna, was out on business and he was alone with the maids inside the building.

So while the maids were busy cleaning the whole building, he was in the room, taking a look at the template hovering in front of him.

On the left side of the template he could see the accumulated E points he had, and on the right, a long list of things he could use the E points for, getting skills, knowledge, even items.

'79 E points in total,' Cid muttered to himself as he stared at the screen, 'Now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen anyone use magic here in the village'.

{Oh they do use magic, infact, they are one of the strongest groups in the whole nation.}

The female voice echoed inside his head again, the rotating blue cube positioned just at the right side of his vision.

'If that's the case, then I should also be able to have the same affinity for magic…'

{Well, you aren't from this world so the rules of this world don't apply to you.} The voice responded.

"What?" Cid was so disgusted by the response that he unknowingly used his outside voice.

{Every being born into this world has something called Manhi inside them, a blessing from the gods that grants them the ability to use mana, in your case, you were never blessed by the gods, so you don't have Manhi not to talk of controlling Mana}.

Cid sighed, his plan covering his face as he addressed the system, "Aimon was it? Tell me, how am I supposed to conquer this world if I can't even use magic? Having the women in this village remain loyal to me is one thing, but not having the strength is another".

{If you want to get stronger it's pretty easy, earn more E points and buy some skills, I personally think skills are better than mana} The voice replied.

Cid's eyes widened a bit as the realization hit him, "Of course… why didn't I think of that?" He uttered, slowly he rose from the ground, his arms resting beside him as he began.

Looking at the template closely, he could see the list of skills arranged in a set of patterns, from the lowest and cheapest skill, to the highest and strongest.

Ranking at the stop was a skill, it didn't look very manicing, it was cheap and just in the range of E points Cid had.

<< Water bullet - 10 E points>>

"Aimon, allocate 10 E points to the skill, Water bullet." Cid spoke, his composure calm despite the anticipation he was feeling.

<<10 E points allocated.

The skill Water bullet has been obtained. >>

<<69 E points remaining>>

'Hmmm,' Cid placed his hand under his jaw as he noticed the tick icon that showed in front of the skill he had just bought, 'Just like that and I can use this skill? Looks like a video game to me'.

He turned his gaze to the small vase resting on the table, steadily he stretched his hand towards the area, 'Since it's the weakest skill here, a vase should do just fine'.
