The sex with Tara granted Hiro something more valuable than just Carna.
Hiro could now use the Ruler of Lust's unique ability, "Borrow Class."
[
Borrow Class: Borrow the class (along with level) of any woman that you had sex with. The class can no longer be borrowed once the woman gets intimate with a different man. The Borrowed Classes will only be active as long as you are inside the borders of your Realm.
Currently, the following classes can be borrowed:
Level 7 Common Warrior [Tara Worken] [Cost: 70 Carna]
Maximum number of borrowed classes that can be activated at a time = 1
This limit can be increased when certain conditions are met - for example, when your Ruler Title improves.

The Borrowed Class didn't override the Ruler of Lust class; it functioned alongside it. Not only could Hiro use the same skills as Tara, but her stats were also added to his own.

Without a doubt, this was an immensely overpowered skill.
'I wonder how powerful I'll become once the limit on the number of classes I can borrow increases—and after I get with more women,' Hiro mused.
As a Ruler, Hiro couldn't gain XP from killing anything beyond his Realm's borders—Carnalia had explicitly informed him of this. This limitation did not have anything to do with his class. The limitation applied to all Rulers.
Hiro envisioned a future where he would be practically unstoppable, like a god, as long as he remained within his own realm.
'But managing an entire realm doesn't sound easy. Sigh. Maybe I can find some scapegoats to handle it for me while I enjoy the perks...'
Carnalia's voice echoed in his mind, "You should really take managing your realm seriously."
Even when Carnalia tried to sound serious, her voice retained an undeniably seductive quality. How was that even possible?
"It's sounds like a lot of work. I'll handle it at my own pace."
"If you do that, you might die of old age," Carnalia warned.
"Isn't that bound to happen anyway?" Hiro retorted.
"Not necessarily. Your lifespan can increase significantly if your level surpasses certain thresholds."
For Hiro, whose primary lack of motivation stemmed from his comparatively short lifespan in the grand scale of the cosmos, the idea of an extended life was slightly tempting.
"Hmm... how much of an increase are we talking about?"
"If you manage to ascend to godhood, you could even achieve immortality."
Hiro's eyebrows shot up. Immortality?!
"And don't you have other reasons to be motivated? Didn't you say you wanted to bed me and Selune? You won't be able to do that before becoming a God, you know. For that reason, you should get your shit together and focus," she coaxed.
"Hmm… it kind of sounds like you're more enthusiastic about me ascending to Godhood than I am."
She sounded way too eager.
Carnalia's voice turned extra sultry as she said, "That is, of course… because I want to feel you inside of me. As. Soon. As. Possible."
Hiro shivered upon hearing the vixen's voice. It was irresistible.
But, of course, he did not completely believe her words. In fact, he pushed them to the back of his mind. Carnalia's reasons weren't actually very important to Hiro. In life, everyone had something they were striving for.
So Hiro simply replied, "That does sound like it would be a good time. I'll think about it a little more."
It wasn't like Carnalia's persuasion was completely ineffective. The prospect of fucking Carnalia and Selune tempted him more than immortality, strangely enough.
Their conversation ended there.
Hiro thought about things on his own. He inwardly groaned, thinking of all the work he would have to do. He was a very lazy man. In fact, his friends on Earth had nicknamed him 'The Lazy Genius.'
Thankfully, Hiro never shared any details about his sex life with them. Otherwise, he would have been nicknamed 'The Lazy Lustful Genius' and then he would've died of cringe.
Tara slept soundly, nestled against Hiro's chest, while he was lost in his own thoughts.
Some time later, evening arrived, and the sound of rain stopped. Hiro was a bit hungry and left his room to inquire about the food situation.
Once outside, he could hear the crackling of fire. Furina and Bob had skewered two pieces of meat with sharp sticks and were holding them over the fire. It seemed like they had already begun roasting meat.
Even though they were doing the same thing, the atmosphere between them radiated a slight coldness, and no conversation flowed.
"The food will be ready in half an hour, my Lord," Furina said to Hiro with a distracted smile.
Hiro just nodded. He wanted to go back inside his room to think about some things. But inside, he found Tara awake and already putting her clothes on.
Hiro hugged her from behind and kissed her exposed neck. He then proceeded to bite it lightly, not hard enough to leave a mark.
"Mmnnh…" Tara let out a low moan.
"How do you feel?" Hiro asked softly, his lips brushing her ear.
Tara paused, her cheeks flushed as she looked back at him. "It… it felt amazing. I don't think I'll ever forget it."
A sly smile tugged at Hiro's lips. "Good. There will be more… but not just yet." He nibbled her ear lightly, earning another soft moan from her before stepping away.
"Let's go outside for now. We'll roast some meat and eat," the hungry Hiro said.
Hiro used his telekinesis to move logs around the fire so they could sit and eat comfortably. Tara joined her parents in roasting the meat.
They didn't have any seasoning available for now, but apparently, dire wolf meat tasted quite good even without it.
A few minutes passed, and Hiro confirmed they weren't wrong. It was indeed delicious.
The atmosphere was surprisingly pleasant. A gentle breeze rustled the trees, carrying the earthy scent of rain. The warmth of the fire crackled in contrast to the cool air, making the moment feel tranquil and cozy for once.
