Ren opened the door and went in, his shoulders and back hunched. He walked like all of the energy had been drained out of his body. He was extremely tired, it was only natural. They had been away for multiple hours and stood right in front of the sun. Neither did they take water with them, nor did they have any money with them to purchase drinking water, so they were extremely thirsty.
"We're home."
Ren announced. Following Ren, Karl entered the house equally as tired. He wasn't really, it was just an act. A normal human would've been extremely tired and thirsty. He wasn't a human though. He had his vitality grown 2 to 3 times from that of an average human.
"I'm back."
Karl announced as he entered the house right behind Ren.
"Where have the two of you been, it's been hours. The sun has already set."
Liana had been worried. Not just because of Ren, but also because Karl was with him. She was worried that they might've lost their way back home.
She came towards the door holding two glasses of water. Handing it over to Karl, he noticed it was made out of clay. It had an unusual dark color to it.
Ren took one of the glasses from her hand and chugged the whole glass of water down his throat.
Karl took a sip of water, he could feel his worries disappearing as the water passed from his mouth and descended the esophagus. The water was cold unlike the season, he even questioned if the people here had refrigerators.
"How is the water so cold? It's been so hot all day."
Karl asked. He could not keep himself from asking such a question. Liana smiled.
"We store our water in an earthen pot. It is made out of clay and cools down the temperature of water."
Karl had never heard of something like that before, the only concept that he understood that could cool down his glass of water was refrigerator.
After completing 3 sips of water and finishing the whole glass, he wondered why there were no clay particles or dust left over at the bottom of the clay glass.
It was not made out of a normal clay. It was some sort of different clay that had an amazing water-holding capacity. Karl did not, however, enquire any further.
Looking around the room a man came into view, he was sitting on the sofa with both his legs close to each other and looked toward Karl out of extreme curiosity. He was not good-looking, short, and fat. A typical body type for a father.
He waved his hands when he noticed Karl looking towards him. He wore a cotton white t-shirt, which had faded and turned brown, and half-cotton pants. Turning towards him, Karl bowed.
"Hello, there. My name is Karl. Thank you for having me here."
"I am Ren's father, Ron. It is good having you here. It was me who found you outside the house."
"Thank you, so much for helping me out and letting me live at your place."
"It is no problem, come sit here."
He said as he pointed to a space right next to him on the sofa adjacent to him.
Karl made his way and sat there. Making himself comfortable, he asked.
"So what do you do?"
"I am a farmer, I work on my landlord's land."
"Is it a difficult job?"
"Very. We sit around in the sun for hours and hours taking care of the produce."
"That's amazing, you're essentially as important as a knight or soldier, maybe even more important."
Ron was taken aback. He had never heard of something like this. A farmer being more important than the knights and soldiers was like a joke.
"Why do you think farmers like me hold such an importance?"
"The knights protect us but it is you all who fill our stomachs."
Karl's passive skills were at play here. He was also extremely charismatic and knew when to give a compliment to the other person. He was a social genius.
"That's a very different way of thinking."
"I'm proud to think differently from the crowd."
Ron was silent now. He was still processing all of Karl's words since he just felt as important as a knight.
'Inspect'
Name:- Ron
Motivations:- Working for landlord
Fantasy:- Vanilla, (____)
Another vanilla guy. That's 2 or 3 so far. Aren't men supposed to be the ones who are more depraved with their fantasies? That's what I was told in the previous world. The second fantasy, however, will be useful. What would it take to make him fall? How bad can the fall be?
Karl wondered.
"Anyways, how did you end up in front of our house?"
"I don't remember how."
Karl made a disappointed expression. Sad, he looked towards the ground and answered.
"All I remember is my name and that I woke up on your bed, in this house."
"It's okay, you'll soon regain your memories."
Karl looked up at him and smiled, expressing his happiness at Ron's hopeful words.
A tall girl, as tall as Liana entered the room. She was an identical copy of Liana. She looked like she was in her 20's. This made Karl realize how young Laina looked. If not for her smaller breasts, Karl would've confused her for Liana. She wore a plain pink dress reaching the bottom of her legs.
She wore a gloomy and blank expression.
Ron looked back and noticed it was his daughter who had entered the room.
"Come here, Lia. Meet our guest."
Lia looked at Karl, still with a blank expression. Karl smiled, but she continued with her blank expression while she walked towards her father.
Standing next to the sofa, she bowed down and greeted Karl with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Lia. Welcome to our house."
She kept the conversation as short as possible. It seemed like she was not interested in creating a conversation with Karl and just wanted to be left alone.
Karl, however, moved his hand forward for a handshake.
"My name is Karl. Thank you for having me."
Lia looked at Karl's hand and understood her job. She shook his hand.
'Touch'
Karl used his spell "Touch" on her. Her muscles suddenly seemed to be relaxing a bit. Lia did not take back her hand from the handshake, it was Karl who pulled back. The spell is extremely effective. Even though it is not a seductive touch, it still soothes the other person and makes them feel comfort.
'Inspect'
Name:- Lia
Motivation:- Sex, High-Libido
Fantasy:- Sex, Orgy, Oral, Multiple partners, Cheating, (___ _____)
Damn this bitch, the face of a saint and the personality of a slut. I'm sure she's already fucked a lot of dudes. Like mother like daughter, however, the mother is faithful and not a slut. They just keep their real personalities hidden.
"Dinner's ready. Everyone, come to the dining table."
Liana shouted from the kitchen.
——
Everyone sat at the dinner table ready to eat. Next to Karl sat Ren, he had gotten quite close to Karl during the day. On the other side, Liana sat.
"Let's enjoy our food."
Ron said as he took the first bite, and then everyone followed.
It was silent. Nobody said a single word while eating. Maybe they had a tradition of not speaking while eating. Karl did not try to go against it. He did, however, feel feet touching him from the front.
Right in front of him sat Lia. It was Lia's feet. She moved her feet up and down as she touched Karl. She had the same blank expression on her face as if nothing was happening.
Karl had other plans in mind, since he knew Lia had already fallen, he went for the upgrade, her mother. He slowly moved his right leg towards the right until the right side touched Liana's thighs.
'Touch'
The problem with 'Touch' however was it would affect everyone who even mildly was in physical contact with Karl. It impacted both Liana and her daughter. Soothing both of them.
'Skill Upgrade'
Touch —> [-] Seductive Touch (Lust)
Touch —> [0] Soothing Touch
With the constant use of Touch for seduction activities and to seduce, the touch skill evolved to seductive touch, which made the other person nervous and sexually aroused by Karl. He also gained another passive skill which imitated the Touch skill but not to such a high intensity. The soothing touch skill would most likely make people addicted to just being closer to Karl or in contact with Karl, be it touch or a kiss.
It was an amazing dinner and it seemed like Liana was an amazing cook.
