Chapter 5
Shop, inventory, craft, and skills, were all open for a long time. I was level twenty-seven now. I unlocked them all by level 10 but I never used any of them.
I mean, I did use the inventory which I must say was amazing. I could store anything in there like in a game and retrieve it whenever I wanted.
I couldn't store my car or bike in it which was a bummer but I could still store pretty much everything as long as it wasn't alive.
As for skills, I didn't have any. I had my eyes on some passive skills but I didn't buy any of them because MP was a requirement to use skills. MP was, probably, related to intelligence and I couldn't invest any of my stats in intelligence as long as I was focused on the mission at hand.
I was tempted when I saw some amazing skills like [Fire ball], [Water ball], [Thunder strike] and all but I was wise enough to focus on the matter at hand.
My balls were at stake.
Literally.
As for the shop, there were a ton of things in there. Skills, items, and magical things that excited me the most.
Unfortunately, the currency of the shop was something called [Gold coins] and I couldn't use real-time money for it.
I tried using a gold tooth I punched out of a rich kid and kept as a payment for his sins but it also didn't work.
There wasn't even a hint so I had no idea about how to get gold to buy the items of my dream.
I was given 100 coins when the shop opened and I sure as hell didn't know what I was going to buy with it because everything in that price range was trash.
I sighed and just marveled at the fact that aside from making me the most optimal human in existence, the system wasn't very useful. Not to mention the fact that it was getting difficult for me to ejaculate now.
I had no problem getting it hard. With my stamina, I was hard all the time and I could easily go for hours if I wanted to.
The problem that I was plagued with was that I couldn't get off with just my hand anymore. I wouldn't even feel much even if I was watching the hottest of porn.
Not only that, I also bought a lot of innovative toys which embarrassed me greatly in front of my mother when she found the stash but she understood it was for my condition and allowed me to have them.
But now, I was also getting used to them. I was getting used to everything there was that a guy could do alone. Some porn would turn me off instead of turning me on and the one that did, I had watched all of it.
Aside from that, I had used almost all kinds of options there were for me to use. Well, aside from the ladies of the night but I wasn't really into that.
I didn't know what kind of diseases could be associated with them and the system didn't provide me any protection against them. I mean, there were some skills that helped but I still wasn't very keen about hookers.
Haa…
Fuck my life.
[AP: 29]
[Stamina: 19]
I quietly added 1 point to my stamina, bringing it up to 20. I wouldn't say it was the best feeling, but the rush of power going through me was like a drug, not that I do any drugs but if I did, that was what it would probably feel like.
[Main quest I 'Terrible' has been completed]
[You have received a reward]
[You have received a B grade skill]
Before I could excitedly focus on my skill, another quest arrived on the spot.
[Main quest II has arrived]
[Optimal]
[Tier: B]
[Description: You are now an optimal human but so what?
That's not what the possessor of the Hyperspermia system should be
There are still plenty of things that can kill you
The user of the Hyperspermia system must be invincible
Or at least close to it]
[Task: Raise physical stats to one star]
[Raise Strength to 50]
[Raise Agility to 50]
[Raise stamina to 50]
[Reward: 1 A grade skill]
[Punishment: Removal of the system]
[Time limit: Two years]
What the hell?
How the hell was I supposed to do that much?
I only got 30 EXP a day so how the hell was I supposed to raise my level that much in just two years?
Great. As much as I wanted to curse out loud, I wasn't in the mood to. I sighed and closed the window and opened the skill window.
Why worry about something out of my control?
I would much rather focus on something in my control.
[Skill: Restoration (Lv: Max)]
[Tier: B]
[Description: What is the requirement of a dream man?
Handsomeness?
Wealth?
Longevity?
None of them!
The most required man is the one who can go on all night and all day.
That's right.
The flag that never droops gets the most salutes.]
[Effect: Your penile functions are restored to their optimal conditions]
[Sperm, strain, or any other factors get fully restored]
[Cost: 100 MP per use]
[No limit per use]
[Condition to use: Stamina 20]
I was right to follow my instincts. There were many instances where I just wanted to invest in other stats but thankfully, I didn't.
Also, with this skill, now I had the option of increasing my EXP income but I couldn't just jack off all the time. I needed something else as well.
I sighed and turned my attention to the EXP meter.
[EXP: 1390\2700]
There was no way it was possible for me to raise my level before two months were up. Unless there was another way of leveling up and I just hadn't come across it yet.
Seeing there was nothing I could do anymore, I stood up and made my way to the bathroom to get ready for the evening.
I came down to the hall after about an hour to see all the preparations done. Everyone except Aunt Elsie was here. Aunt Elise couldn't come because Pennsylvania high school vacations interrupted my birthday time. They had their final exams this time of the year so they couldn't come to my birthday because of Sara and Mira's exams, my cousins.
Sara and Mira were both twins, well, Sara was two minutes older but still twins. I got very well along with Sara who was the confident one while Mira was the shy one so she and I never had a complete conversation.
Well, it had been almost three years since I saw them so maybe she grew out of it.
They also had another daughter who was sixteen this year. She was the child of the family and I remembered her as such.
I actually miss them all given they have missed the third birthday of mine in a row now.
The birthday ceremony went as it did every year. Me getting richer and my heart churning at how much my Mom spent on the banquet.
Anyway, my grandmother, as always, managed to outshine everyone and presented me with the deed to the hospital which was finally completed in just two years of construction.
I really had to attend a medical major now even if I never had any intention to.
The ceremony ended and I retired to my room at around 3 in the morning. I was about to sleep when there was a knock on my door.
It was Mom when I opened the door.
"Can I come in?" She asked awkwardly.
She was asking for permission meant she was afraid of my reaction to whatever was about to come.
I nodded and let her in. I led her to my bed and she nervously fidgeted while I patiently waited for fifteen minutes for her to tell me on her own.
"I… met someone." She finally collected enough courage to say it.
"I know," I replied.
"I know you're disappointed but I'm a wom—wait, what?" She asked.
"I know. The Montgomery guy, right?" I asked.
"Ho—How do you know?" She quietly asked as if she couldn't believe in what direction this was going in.
"You really need a lesson on how to be discrete, Mom. You can't leave restaurant bills for two lying around. Especially restaurants that are under my name." I replied.
My Mom's mouth was left hanging open when she figured everything out.
"How long have you known?" She asked.
"Maybe it was your second date. When you said you were going to meet an old friend. No science was needed to tell me how giddy you were and how nicely you were dressed." I replied.
"You've known for all this time?" She confusedly asked, "And you didn't do anything?"
"Look, Mom," I said as I took her hands, "If you're looking for my permission, I need you to know you don't need one. You have never been in a relationship in all these years since that jerk walked out on you. I don't know why you didn't go for it but if you think I'm going to be a reason for your unhappiness, then you got another thing coming."
My Mom smiled at my answer and couldn't help but sniffle at my response. "Thanks," She said in a squeaky voice.
"No need. You deserve every second of it." I hugged her and consoled her, while also encouraging her before I stopped and said, "Though I do need to meet him."

Five for now. I'll upload one chapter a day after this.
