The Heart System

Chapter 524: Chapter 524

Jasmine’s eyes flickered open, unfocused and heavy with sleep. She looked up just as Tessa moved the cum-coated banana toward her face.

”Eat up,” Tessa teased, her voice a low, dirty purr. ”Double the protein for your metabolic window, no? Kayla would be so proud of your dedication.”

I let out a rough, exhausted chuckle, watching the two of them. Tessa was completely unhinged...

Jasmine looked at the banana, then at me, then back at Tessa. A small, defeated ”ugh” escaped her lips, but she didn’t push it away. She was too far gone to care about the absurdity of it all. She reached up, finally letting her legs drop from her chest to the couch, and opened her mouth.

She took a large bite of the banana, her tongue catching the taste of me and the fruit at the same time. She chewed slowly, her eyes drifting shut again as she swallowed the strange, high-protein snack.

”You both... are going to hell,” Jasmine muttered around a mouthful of banana, though a small, satisfied smile was finally touching her lips.

”We’ll see you there, Jas,” I grinned, leaning down to kiss her forehead as she finished the rest of the fruit. ”We’ll see you there.”

Yesterday had been... something else. What Tessa did with Jasmine and everything around it. I could’ve gone further, sure. I could’ve pushed harder and gained more experience points. But honestly, I couldn’t do that. Jasmine was trying to help me. I wasn’t going to take advantage of that.

I was lucky to have her.

I checked my credits again. 34,864.

If I wanted to take down Jack Kuinn, I needed to be stronger. The fight with Chase proved that much. I only made it out because I had invested heavily into strength. I wasn’t going to risk another close call like that.

Without overthinking it, I bought twenty ability points, spending 3,000 credits.

”Nice.”

I leaned back on the couch and stretched, letting out a breath. The girls were all at work, and here I was, doing nothing in the middle of the morning. It felt strange. I wasn’t used to this kind of downtime after working nonstop for so long.

Still... I needed it.

”Master,” Minne said from behind me. ”Would you like me to prepare some tea?”

I turned toward her. She was standing at the kitchen counter, looking at me.

”Yeah,” I said. ”Make some for yourself too and come sit with me.”

She nodded and started preparing the tea.

I shifted my focus back to the system. With the twenty points I had just bought, I now had thirty-four in total, since I already had fourteen saved up. Oh and plus three since I leveled up.

Good.

Without hesitating, I reset my Strength stat. It dropped back to one, but the cap increased to thirty. Since resetting refunded half the points, I now had forty-four unspent ability points.

I put twenty-nine points straight into Strength and confirmed it.

A notification popped up.

”A new skill?”

I leaned forward slightly and opened it.

Crushing Presence.

It was a passive ability. That alone made it useful. I read the description carefully.

”People nearby feel smaller, weaker, more submissive.”

There were no numbers attached to it, so I couldn’t measure it exactly, but it sounded strong. If it worked the way it implied, it could give me a serious advantage, especially against someone like Jack Kuinn. The fact that I could toggle it on and off made it even better.

At least I wouldn’t turn into one of those cringy ”alpha” types all the time. That was good.

I opened the shop again and bought five Mastery Points.

”Good.”

Then the pain hit. It was like someone was stabbing me with needles left and right.

It started in my arms and stomach, then spread everywhere. I tensed up, gripping the edge of the couch as my muscles tightened. I tried to stand, but my legs didn’t cooperate.

”Fuck... what is this...”

My head spun, and I dropped back onto the couch, pressing a hand to my forehead and shutting my eyes. The pain pulsed through my body for a few seconds before it slowly began to fade.

I took a breath and opened my eyes again. Something felt... different. I pushed myself up and looked down at my arms. They were bigger.

Not by a little either. My muscles looked thicker, more defined. I lifted my shirt and stared at my chest. My pecs were noticeably more developed, my whole frame looking tighter, stronger. It wasn’t nothing crazy, of course. But I definitely changed.

”Nice.”

”Master?” Minne called from the kitchen. ”Is something wrong?”

”Nothing,” I said, turning toward her. ”Everything’s fine.”

She looked at me more closely now, her eyes widening slightly.

”Master... I didn’t realize you were this fit before,” she said. ”Wow... have you been using Mrs. Kayla’s app?”

”Nah,” I said with a shrug. ”Just working out on my own.”

”Hehe... I wish I was that fit.”

I smiled at her. ”You’re carrying my baby. You don’t need to be.”

She froze for a second, then her face turned bright red.

”B-baby?” she stammered. ”I-I-I mean—I mean, not now! I mean... one day! Of course! I would like to... get pregnant by you, Master!”

I blinked at her. She didn’t... remember it?

”...What?”

Then it happened.
