— After half an hour in the Falazars' backyard forest —
"Killing the low-level Rank 1 Demonic Beasts has become a bit unfulfilling," I said with a yawn, my stick stained with the crimson blood of the dozen-odd Peak Rank 1 Demonic Beast carcasses that surrounded me. "I do remember someone mentioning that the forest only had the weakest of Demonic Beasts inside it. I guess that really is the case."
Bummer. But it was what it was.
I decided to take a peek at my System Interface while making my way out of the forest. The explosions produced by the two girls had concluded a while back, so it was eerily quiet within the lush forest growth.
The silence, however, made for the perfect suspense as I observed all the dramatic changes that had occurred within myself.
BLING!

Looking at my System Interface made me realize that my chances of receiving Intelligence Attribute Orbs were a lot lower than my other stats. Affinity was virtually non-existent, with Charisma having literally not improved. However, I suspected this was because the Demonic Beasts I killed didn't have much in the Intelligence or Talent department.
Something else I noticed was how the Attribute Orbs I saw drop from Demonic Beasts with the same level of strength became less and less the stronger I became. And after a brief Q&A with the System, I learned that this was due to the fact that Attribute points had certain values attached to them. What I saw as a number on their spherical surfaces was merely a visual representation of what that value was.
What I saw changed as I became increasingly powerful. For example, if I had strength equivalent to a Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouse, then the value placed on the Attribute Orbs might not even be in the whole-number range.
Slaying Rank 1 Demonic Beasts would only give peanuts and pebbles at that point…
"I suppose this just means I have to ceaselessly search for stronger opponents in this vast world I find myself in," I said, clenching my fists in anticipation of the future. "Although my family is of the Count rank and possesses a large amount of influence in the Water Nation, that very same nation is but a single piece of the Elemental Nations. And the Elemental Nations are just a small section of a land much larger and more mysterious."
I smirked at the thought of exploring to my heart's content. With these functioning legs and arms of mine, I'd make the world my b*tch and face-slap whoever obstructed my path!
I was, after all, a Young Master!
A Young Master known throughout the Kingdom as the useless trash that tarnished the noble name of the Falazar Count Family!
If I didn't take advantage of this illustrious background and infamous reputation, could I even consider myself a proper Young Master!?
"To be a proper Young Master," I contemplated, pacing in circles within an encirclement of Demonic Beast corpses. "What should I do first? Start wantonly flaunting my status around town? Harass a pretty lass and incur the wrath of a Protagonist??"
There were a number of ideas swirling around inside my mind, most of which were dubiously diabolical. However, out of all of them, there was one that truly took the cake when it came to the diabolical scale.
"I should be a menace and start creating enemies everywhere I go," I said, maliciously grinning. "Making good use of my high social status, I'll strut my stuff and let this Kingdom know my unruliness. I'll make everyone everywhere hate me at a manageable pace, which will both fulfill the conditions of my Young Master Title and send Attribute Orbs in mountain-sized loads!"
The Title I was referring to was the second Title that I was born with in this 1,314th life of mine. Its description was:
[Title (2) Shameless Young Master (EX)] - (Active)
— [For as long as the User maintains an aura of shamelessness while abusing the social system with his status, all dropped Attribute Orbs will be doubled in value]
— [While the Title is active, the User will find himself inexplicably climbing through hierarchical ranks with ease]
— [Tremendously Increased Luck (Assuming the Title is Active)]
That was essentially my sole drive for wanting to be the biggest wanker the world had ever seen!
