97 Novice challenge updated (1/2)
For some reason, after Miyuki left, Ben remembered that line. It was the first thing the system told him. As he put on his clothes, he couldnt help but agree with that evaluation now
A door opened and Fariq exited from the bathroom with a guilty expression. ”I disturbed your rendezvous. I apologize man”
Exhausted, Ben glanced at him. ”We talked about this. Didnt you see the rubber band on the doorknob? Youre supposed to be s.e.xiled!”
Fariq glanced at his feet. ”I was on the phone ordering a pizza from Dominos. I got distracted and wasnt paying attention”
Fariq was a sweetheart, so Ben couldnt stay angry at him for long. Instead, he pointed his blame to the next guilty party in line.
Bens eyes turned red. Pizza again…I curse you Dominos! You better hope I die! Otherwise, this vendetta wont end! If I dont destroy you, Ill call you granddaddy!
…
In fact, death wasnt enough for Ben. He resolved to haunt them even after. I hope your clients like their pizza with ghost-inspired tomato sauce!
Ben was planning to get Insidious on the marinara…
…
He still remembered when the milf from the fetish club gave him a fake number of Dominos before leaving. Since the customer was always right, Ben interpreted that to mean Dominos was always wrong…
Putting his fated enemy aside for the moment, Ben sighed with frustration. Fariq just had to come tonight Hes had so many opportunities for a cliche last second c*ckblockyet he waited until now I expected it to happen before, but it never did. I almost forgot it was possible! If they were in my shoes, I imagine the entire world wouldve forgotten Its like…he chose the perfect timing for maximum effect!
Fariq withdrew something from his desk. ”Benjamin, I have to go drop off a doc.u.ment to a partner in a group project. If the pizza comes first, please pick it up for me. I already paid for it. Sorry again about before” He then left the apartment.
When the door slammed shut, Ben refocused on the most pressing matter at hand. He opened his system screen.

00:57:04
00:57:03
When he saw there was less than an hour remaining, Ben started sweating. Why is the timer still continuing? His face turned pale. Dont tell me
He opened his mission screen with dread.
[Novice Welcome – Seduce a woman within one month or die]
[Reward: ???]
[Punishment: Eradication]
Ben began to pant. ”System…what is seduce? How did that not count?!?”
Ben thought the system would ignore him again, but she answered him a moment later.
[Evaluating completion criteria of Novice Welcome challenge]
[Evaluated]
[Current challenge status is evaluated as incomplete. Novice Welcome Challenge is still active]
Ben stopped breathing… Then the system continued.
[Partial completion detected]
[Recalibrating challenge punishment due to partial completion]
Oh, thank god… Ben released a sigh of relief, holding his chest. He was hopeful. Pleaseremove the eradication punishmentanything else, just dont kill me
[Challenge punishment recalibrated]
[Congratulations! Punishment of eradication has been downgraded]
Ben smiled from ear to ear. He wanted to sing. He wanted to laugh. He wanted to cry!
It was like a sword was removed from his neck!
[Punishment is now soul evisceration]
Ben was still frozen in a smile, but the sword was reinserted through his anus
He wanted to cry. He wanted to cry. He wanted to cry
Ben shot up from his bed. ”Congratulations my ass! HOW THE F*CK IS THAT BETTER?!?”
The system clarified.
[If challenge completion remains at the current state, you will be left with a complete corpse]
Bens jaw dropped. ”Offering a complete corpse? WHEN HAS ANYONE EVER ACCEPTED THAT?!?”
He glanced at the challenge clock.
00:54:45
Understanding his challenge wasnt complete and that it would be a waste of time debating with the system, Ben grabbed his phone and keys, and sprinted out the door to Miyukis room.
A few seconds later…
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
