Chapter 21 - Exhausting days 1

After aligning myself in front of the mirror, I pulled out my phone and took a picture. After sending it, I was surprised by a hug from behind and the feeling of soft breasts pressing against me.

"What are you doing in front of the mirror?" Lila asked. "Don't even think about trying to skip out on the workout." Her voice was sweet, but don't be fooled—she was a demon when it came to training!

"Wait, give me five minutes to rest, please!" I begged, partly because I was exhausted and also because if I left Isabel hanging, she'd be furious.

After thinking for a moment, Lila smiled and agreed but on one condition: I had to add 50 more push-ups to my workout. I swear, this woman wasn't trying to train me, her goal was to kill me through sheer exhaustion.

"Don't give me that look. I know you can handle it." Her stern gaze made me straighten up and nod. "Besides, don't worry. I'll give you a recovery massage afterward." She leaned in and whispered seductively, lightly touching my chest. After making me rock-hard, she took a step back. "But that's only after the workout, so let's finish it quickly."

That woman was seriously a tempting demon! I regretted every day deciding to train with her, and that was just the physical workout. I couldn't even imagine how much I'd suffer once we started martial arts training.

Anyway, my beautiful and tempting demon angel stared at me curiously and finally asked why I'd taken the picture. I explained I was talking to Isabel, mentioned I was training, and she doubted me, saying I was skinny and looked like a couch potato. As much as she was right, I still felt offended by her doubt, so I sent a picture to prove my Herculean effort.

Her first reply was a laugh, saying it was typical of me to send a picture in response. Then, she commented that I was surprisingly muscular and asked if I was an innocent fool or a "lady killer." It took me a good few seconds to even understand what she was implying, which only confirmed how much I belonged to the first category.

[Isabel: By how long it's taking you to respond, I'm guessing it's the first option, right?]

She read me like a book. Frustrated, I furiously typed on my phone:

[Me: It's not my fault you can't resist me, so even ordinary things come across as flirting to you.]

Isabel's response was to laugh again, saying I'd basically admitted she was right. Our conversations were always like that, playful with a bit of teasing, but I never quite understood what she was really aiming for. Either way, it was always a lot of fun.

Wanting to keep the conversation going, I asked what she was up to. She replied with a picture too, but unlike mine, her photo was perfectly staged, showing off her gorgeous body lit by the sunlight.

She was wearing a sexy black bikini, and to top it off, she was pressing her chest against her knee, posing in a way that highlighted her breasts and slim leg. On top of that, she was casually playing with her hair while giving a sultry look at the camera.

It only took one glance to know that was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment picture. Pointing out the obvious, Isabel said I shouldn't complain about getting such a great photo.

She then added that a pretty girl like her would never send a sweaty, messy photo, which was a pretty direct jab at me. Finally, she commented that she was just cleaning the house, nothing sexy about that.

Since Lila was already giving me death stares, I had to cut our interaction short. I admired myself one last time in the mirror, noticing how my body was really improving, with abs starting to show. Feeling a bit more motivated, I got back to the workout, but...

"I'm exhausted, I can't take it anymore!" I cried as my arms trembled, holding two dumbbells.

Hugging me from behind, Lila gently touched my arms, offering some encouragement as her breasts pressed tightly against my back. Through her thin sports top, I could feel her hard nipples massaging my back, reminding me that I'd soon get a reward.

"What are you two doing?" We were interrupted by a redhead who walked into the room.

Lucia was wearing a sports bra that barely contained her chest, along with leggings that clung to her curves, showing off every detail of her body.

Wearing clothes far more revealing than usual, her hourglass figure was on full display. Her wide hips, impossibly slim waist, and perfectly toned stomach culminated in her large breasts and sculpted face.

"I was just giving him some motivation for the final stretch of the workout."

Lucia laughed a bit as she stretched. She usually showed up when the workout was over to take Lila to work, but since it was the weekend, there wouldn't be any interruptions today. In other words, she wouldn't be my savior.

"What's left for him to finish the day's workout?"

"Just the bench press." Thankfully, my demon was kind enough to lie—probably because she feared how tough Lucia would be on me if she knew the truth. I was well aware they sometimes trained together, and my angel always ended up unable to move a muscle the next day.

"I see, go ahead."

She made me lie on one of those homemade gym benches and grabbed a metal bar. She added weights, which were just sandbags, and locked them on each side. Most of the equipment there was makeshift since the redhead had set up the place to train at home without spending much.

On the first rep, I could already tell she'd added more weight than I was used to, but I pushed through. By the second rep, I was reaching my limit. Seeing this, Lucia gave me a mischievous smile and then sat down on top of me.

Pressing her big butt directly on my crotch, she leaned over the bar and easily helped me lift it. Then she gave me a sadistic look.

"You seem to be enjoying this. I guess it really is motivating." She wiggled her ass against my rock-hard erection. "I'll follow your movements, so keep going, okay?"

Her wonderfully soft butt squeezed my penis, enveloping it in its warmth. As long as I kept up the exercise, she'd keep rubbing against me, almost bringing me to the edge. But whenever I slowed down, she'd stop, denying me any pleasure.

After a lot of effort, I finally got through the workout, and I even got to watch her squatting while I took a brief moment to rest.

Sadly, despite it being a Sunday, I still had some things to finish for Amber. It was inevitable that I'd remember Vanessa's invitation to go out for drinks. It was supposed to be a fun get-together with her friends, and it sounded relaxing. But I was swamped with work.

That's how my days had been lately. My mornings started with me waking up, often with a delicious blowjob from Lila. Then, I'd quickly study website maintenance and other things while having breakfast.

Afterward, I'd go to work, where Eva's cheerful energy helped me recharge. During downtime, I'd reply to messages, mainly chatting with Isabel, Amber, and sometimes Vanessa. I'd also watch videos to learn better editing techniques and other skills. And, of course, I'd chat with Eva, who was getting cuter by the day.

After work, I'd head to Lucia's place to train during the gap between my shift and Lila's. Usually, we'd be interrupted by the redhead, who'd save me by dragging Lila off to work.

Once back home, I'd work late into the night before finally crashing into bed. It was an exhausting routine, and I'd be stuck in it for two weeks.

There was no denying I was tired, but there was no way out, I had to find a way to get everything done. One way or another, I'd push through.

Naturally, during this time, a lot of things happened, though I had yet to complete one mission, Amber's who seemed to trust me more and more. Now, the situation was:

*_____________*

Second quest

(Win over the Lonely Goddess of love)

Description: Amber lost her parents at a very young age, at only 15, inheriting a huge mansion and a cult that worships and supports her. As a distant descendant of a succubus, she unconsciously awakened some of her powers and used them to be revered. Since then, she has lived in a place of absolute solitude, where no one sees her as an equal, making all her interactions seem so empty and distant. Perhaps being a god is a bit lonely for an ordinary human.

Complete phases: 3/16

Fourth phase:

 Comfort the terrified goddess.

Fourth phase reward:

+2 Strength 

Notice: you will receive more rewards in the upcoming stages.

*_____________*

Once again, it was one of those missions that didn't give me much information, so there wasn't much I could do. Eventually, things would work out, just like with Helena. As for Eva, I knew exactly what I needed to do, but the situation with her parents still wasn't completely resolved, so I kept stalling.

That being said, over the past two weeks, despite everything, I managed to make excellent progress in my relationships with all the girls I knew.

Additionally, in the little free time I had, Lila and I tested her new ability, which allowed her to connect with me; she could sense how I was feeling, where I was, and other things. Moreover, her power meant that when she transformed, I would also gain an increase in strength and other enhancements.

Finally, on the very day of the meeting, I managed to level up and, as a reward, I unlocked a new section in the app store... not that I had any money to buy anything anyway. But I had finally unlocked the skills section, and things looked like this:

Store

Super-power:

Notice: more purchase options will be available in the future.

"Things hadn't changed much, even though I had gained some G-coins thanks to the missions. Still, I didn't have enough for even a single skill.

The only really interesting thing was that, just as I unlocked the store for use, Lila seemed to have a revelation. Suddenly, more information about how that function worked appeared in her mind, allowing her to explain various things to me. What was very useful was that it was a pity she often didn't understand how that gacha system worked herself.

Of all the things she explained to me, the most interesting was that the greatest desire in my heart at the moment I bought the package would influence the skill I would gain.

That said, the influence didn't remove randomness, so if I strongly desired firepower, I would probably receive something related to that. This could range from the ability to control fire, to the ability to light candles, to being resistant to fire, or sensing fires, and more.

The problematic part of the skills was that I would only gain the power to discard skills at level 25. Additionally, at levels 12, 16, 20, and 22, I would gain new skill slots.

Of course, since I had only unlocked one slot and couldn't discard an acquired skill, if I was unlucky with what I received, I would have to wait until level 12 to have space for a second attempt. Just to note, I was level 5.

In summary, wasting money on skill packages seemed like a rather stupid idea, so I swept that under the rug. It didn't seem like a viable option at all.

By the way, my stats were like that now:

Perfil

Level: 5

G-coins: 2

Missions: 2/10

Quests: 3/3

Completed quests: 0

Stats:

- Agility: 8

- Stamina: 15(+1)

- Intelligence: 17

- Strength: 7

- Charisma: 10

Skills: 0/1

"Everything had gone up, including my stamina, both from the reward for Amber's mission and naturally. This was what kept me active even while doing everything I needed to do. Additionally, having high stamina would be important in the future for several reasons.

Another thing that kept increasing was my charisma; it was only 1 when all this started, and now I had gained 9 points naturally, without using any bonuses from the app.

I was satisfied with my overall performance and everything else. Naturally, with a new level, there were new missions to be completed, and in this case, they were:"

Missions 5 → 6

☑ Train up to exhaustion for 10 days.

☐ Have a date with two girls together

☐ Have sex with a girl you just met

☐ Reach 15 on charisma

☐ Make more than 5 girls romantically interested in you

☑ Flirt with multiple woman on the same day. 

☐ Win a fight 

☐ Take a woman's heart

☐ Take a girl's virginity

☐ Start your harem

And again, leveling up was getting a lot harder. I could only sigh, I had a lot of things to focus on, so I would just wait for things to happen. In theory, if I solved all my problems and things went well with Eva, I could probably do almost all the missions.

Still, having sex with someone I had just met seemed so far away...

In any case, reality continued to call for me and I needed to get back to work. After giving a tired sigh, I turned to the computer determined to do everything necessary.
