Chapter 277 (1/2)

”As I've said child, i am a kind bringer of boon. Will you accept it or not?” the unseen man asked once more.

”Will there be any payments in return?” the boy queried. If life had taught him one thing, it was that nothing ever comes for free.

Some had learned it the hard way by getting scammed on investment schemes but this boy was of course wiser than those luckless ones.

Since he was poor from the beginning then he could only learn from the mistakes of others and never acceded to the tasty tongues of the those temptresses.

Not that anyone has bothered to try dealing some great bonus towards him.

Until now, that is.

”You shall have to see that for yourself, child.” the voice replied.

”So it does have a price in the end.” the boy thought as he realized the implications behind this subtle statement.

”I ask for the final time, child. Do you not dare to receive my honest gift?”

the old man's voice resonated in the room but behind those uttered words was a mocking tone that was barely held in check.

A hateful music that the boy was all too familiar with.

”FUCK YOU!” the boy roared in his mind as he gleaned the meaning behind those words. Very much like the despicable myriad taunts thrown his way in the past.

”I ACCEPT!” the boy answered firmly.

”Congratulations, my child. May you enjoy the ride ahead.” these were the old man's parting words before he disappeared completely from the boy's consciousness.

”Is that it?” the boy whispered when nothing happened after ten beats.

”BOINK!”

”Welcome to The Lust System, host!”

”Lust System? What the fuck is that?” the boy muttered. He was a scholar in the university and thus all his time was spent in studying and acing his subjects.

Things like web novels, xianxia and such was as alien to him as those imagined green friends inside them flying saucers.

So in his 18 years of life on this earth, he has yet to read a page from the popular genre of system novels that almost broke the internet in the yesteryear and counting.

”It is a powerful tool, host. You could even rule over this current reality with this epic advantage in hand.” The voice replied promptly.

Maybe it was because this was the second time such a bodiless spirit has conversed with him that the boy has at least presented a modicum of balance in talking with this unknown individual.

The fact that this newcomer had an angelic sultry voice also helped composed the boy's nerves. To date, this was probably the loveliest voice he had ever heard in his life.

It was akin to deity's and was almost incomparable to anyone else in the world. Even those legendary voices from esteemed actresses and singers was a tad bleaker beside this one.

This one's voice was magical and brought a mystifying effect unto the senses of its current master.

And yes, system's voice was of course that of a woman.

”I see... Then what kind of power will this so called Lust System give me? Would it bring me lots of money if i wished for it tonight?”

The boy said after he comforted himself back unto the safety of his bed.
