'Be smooth like a sword Kubera, smooth like a sword..' He was currently approaching the girl who seemed to be engrossed in her reading. She hadn't looked up or notice him at all until he was standing in front of her and spoke to her.
"Hey lady, I don't know if anyone has said this but you look very pretty."
She looked up from her book and scanned the stranger up and down who just stood there stiff and complimented her before replying, "Um, thank you.."
Kubera clenched his fist in excitement, it looked like his compliment was working! He decided to stand there and wait for her to ask for his name, 'Man, I should get a bonus just for my cleverness.'
…
A few seconds of utter silence had passed! The girl was looking at him waiting to see what he'd say, but since he just awkwardly stared at her without saying anything, she had decided to go back to reading in hope this weirdo would leave her alone..
'Why hasn't she asked the question?!' Kubera started panicking when she looked back at her book! He didn't know what had happened but it seemed he misjudged the situation.
He believed everything was going to work out the way he planned it to, but nothing worked at all!
He tried to think of an idea to fix this weird situation he was in now and after a couple seconds, he had an idea' "My name is Jake, it's my first year here, what's your name?"
That's right, he decided he'd be the one to ask for her name instead! He didn't want to just walk away and give up, so he thought of a way to close in the gap she created after his compliment.
She looked up back at him after he said that, his idea seemed to be working!
"Oh um, my name is Lily."
Seeing her reaction, he didn't want her to go back to looking at her book again, so he decided to continue while the fire was hot by getting straight to the point.
"So Lily, um because of how pretty you are I wanted to ask um if like you'd want to kiss right now?"
He added fuel to the flame, he was burning the kitchen!
She stared at him and blinked, taking a couple seconds to comprehend what she just heard.
No one ever came up and asked such a question before in her life, she saw how awkward he was when he complimented her and how awkward he was even now. It made her think this man was bad news, she didn't want to be here any longer and find out what this man would do next!
"Um sorry! I have a boyfriend." She was looking around to see if there was anyone else around as she said this so maybe they could see the awkward situation she was in!
"Oh um I'm sorry for bothering you then Lily, have a good day." After hearing her say she has a boyfriend, he decided to retreat. He wasn't in a position physically and mentally to where he could compete with a man for his girl, so he backed off.
Seeing him walk away, the girl finally sighed a breath of relief. This was probably the scariest moment she's ever had in years..
..
After walking to where the cafeteria was, Kubera also sighed a breath of relief. After finally getting away from her and realizing no dude was following him, he realized he was on the clear.
He found an empty table and chair outside the cafeteria and sat there to analyze everything that had happened.
He realized that throughout that interaction that had only taken 30 seconds, she didn't get flustered once. Not only that, he had only prepared for if she had gotten flustered and asked for his name, he never took into consideration anything else!
He believed his lack of preparation was what led to that interaction not going so well, so he decided to come up with an entirely different plan.
Earlier when he approached women, they were a lot more open to conversation when he asked a question regarding the school.
He was thinking of just settling for asking women something regarding the school when he suddenly remembered that man who got a woman's kiss the minute they met! He wanted to be like that, so rather then focus on the now, he'd focus on the future.
He decided just to approach the women here and ask them something about this school like what class they got or do they like it here. He was going to do this not because he wanted to get a good reaction from the women, but just to get the task over with and obtain the reward from the system!
He realized his problem was focusing so much on getting the same result the man earlier got that he had lost track of the goal which was to just approach, not seduce!
His low stats and that 'Slave mind' skill must've been the reason he was so infatuated with being like that man. Deep down, after seeing him effortlessly get a woman's kiss and number, he saw that man as a higher status man! This ended up causing that man to have a major influence over Kubera for the next few minutes that was enhanced by his low stats until he finally snapped out of it.
With his thoughts slightly more clear and his goal set, he decided to finish his approaches.
..
*PING
After about 15 minutes of walking around looking for pretty women to talk to and talking to them, he had finally finished his task.
He opened up his system to see the message he had been waiting for.
(Task (AOI bonus) Completed: That guy: Approach 10 attractive female students at Reservoir Community College | Reward: Information regarding women (Open the information section) | Quest: Create better habits Section (Q1) | Approach 100 women | Quest progress: 10/100%)
Seeing this, he quickly went to the main menu of his system and opened the information section to find a new tab under the 'Ouroboros System —-' one called 'About Women —-'. He sat comfortably on the chair and got ready to absorb as much as possible from the system.

About Women
—
- Intro: Women are the physically weaker version of humans who have the responsibility of being the one to birth and nurture babies. Because they're physically weak they tend to be more attractive to men and even women who are more on the masculine side.
Because they're physically weak however, they need to be strong mentally. Their strong mental skills are based mostly around dealing with men and women and have been honed throughout thousands of years. Because they're beings who are very mental and think a lot, they are also very emotional.
- Mental: In the beginning, men could get any woman they wanted if they were strong enough. This led to a lot of conflict between other men fighting each other for a woman. But because of this, some women who didn't like who they ended up with had very little saying just because they couldn't fight back.
So their minds started to adapt to the situations they got put in to find a way out. Women started to find ways to manipulate men with their looks and words to get what they wanted. An example of this is women seducing strong men into only choosing them instead of having other options so they would reap the most benefits and get more protection from the man compared to if he had multiple other women.
This sort of power women possess can be seen everywhere you look here on earth. Women will rarely give men who are too direct a chance, especially if that man isn't good looking or has status, and women will give time to someone who seems to be too nice since they know that person has nothing better in their life, so they'll use them as entertainment.
- Shit test: One of their best weapons they use consciously or unconsciously is called shit tests. They will say something, act a certain way or do something to see how you'll react to what they do. Your reaction will let them know what type of man you are and whether they'll be comfortable around you or not.
An example from your approach earlier is the woman who wore all black from earlier. She wanted to see how you'd react if she acted all kind and friendly, and since you seemed to reciprocate that sort of energy, she didn't really see you as anything special.
- How to deal with women: You need to develop game, which is a combination of: Charisma, Flirtation, Mouthpiece, Substance, Smoothness, Confidence, Social Awareness and the ability to combine all of this to form your own sort of game. You can copy other people's game, but it'll be forced.
You need to show a woman your personality with your game to make her comfortable enough to want to hang out with you and give you a chance, especially because of your low attractiveness. You're too stiff when you talk to women, be calm and comfortable while confident with your words and let the energy between you two flow as you can't control what happens.
- Conclusion: Every woman is different, you can't expect the same result with any woman. Fall in love with the unpredictable, for when it comes to interacting with women you'll always find one different. Learn from every interaction, this will improve your game as game can constantly grow. The women on earth are just the beginning, if you can't learn to be someone women will dream about here on earth, you don't stand a chance in other worlds.
This is the power of having game, as not only does it apply to women, it also applies to other aspects of life like interaction with people in general, drawing others to you. Every interaction whether good or bad is a learning opportunity, there's never a pointless interaction for you can improve from them all, if you choose to learn that is..

After reading all of this, he understood a lot now especially with all of his approaches from earlier. But this new found knowledge raised more questions and worst of all, made him pissed. The fact women will lose interest in a man the moment they fail a shit test and don't have game, it made him realize women are truly deceitful and dangerous beings.
He was even starting to have second thoughts about marrying now! He knew now that every woman's action when it comes to dealing with men has some sort of meaning, so even if they're married she'll still deep down want to test the man to make sure he's the one.
He knew now a man choosing to commit to a woman will be like playing in their hands, that's exactly what they want if you're the best man they found! He also thought of another thing: women can easily trick a man into thinking he's the only one she talks to, having that innocent man take care of her financially and more, while she goes off and hangs with another man who's a lot more attractive and has game!
'I need to start reading into every action a woman performs.. This sort of power is as scary as a Selkie elite.'
