CHAPTER 4: BASIC PHYSIQUE UPGRADED...
"Four p.m...., don’t be late."
The smirk on Mia’s fac e stayed as she fixed her shir t. H er lips were still looking a bit more fuller and she walked past him with a sharp look in her eyes.
Akira’s heart raced as he was standing there. He coul d still smell her scent a nd feel the warmth from where she had touched him even though she was long gone.
The system gently beeped in his head.
[REWARD GRANTED: +15 PERV-PO INTS]
[BONUS: +1 CON FID ENCE]
"Well done, darling," the voice crooned. "You surprised me. Mo st hosts panic during their first time. You? You adapted beautif ully."
Akira cleaned the sweat from his brow with a small smile on his lips. "So, I’m yo ur little project now?"
"You’re my entertainment," the voice replied sweetly. "But I have to admit that you’r e fu n to watch."
He left the classroom as soon as the bell rang.
New ru mours were already going viral as he made his way to his first class of the day through the hallway.
"Did you hear? The Creep Kin g tried something o n Mia ."
"Yeah, she’s probably go ing to beat the living crap out of him later."
"Guess pervs don’t learn."
Akira ignored them all. The old him would’ve shrunk away, buried his face and run. Now, the whispers only made him smirk.

Liter ature class felt longer than u su al. Ms Satomi ’s heels clicked slowly across the floor as she moved between desks, her ca lm voice reciting verses fr om an old poem about temptation and forbidde n desire.
"Some energies," she said , pausing at the board, "can attract unseen forces. A heart filled with too much longing becomes a beacon."
Akira felt her gaze on him but looked away, hoping to a void any question.
"Some people," she continued, "invite that energy without realising. Others... crave it."
The clas s tittered quietly, a fe w boys whispering dirty jokes. Akira tried to foc us on his notebook, but his skin prickled under her attention.
The system chuckled in his head . "It seems like she senses your essence, darling. How delightful."
"She’s only just a teacher," Akira muttered under hi s breath.
"Mm, perhaps. Or perhaps something much more inter esting."
When the final bell w ent off, Ms. Satomi’s kept looking at him again. "Kanzaki," she called his name, "you’ve been rat her... distracted lat ely."
He met her eyes and tried to force a smile. "Just tired, sensei."
Her lips curved faintly. "Then rest well. You’ll need your strength."
Feeling uncomfortable and curious, he quickly left.
By the time he reached the gym, the sun was already set ting. He could hear the distant sounds of basketballs bouncing and laughter coming from the front, but the weight room at the back was quiet and empty.
Mia was alr eady there, leaning against a bench with her phone in hand, h er earbuds hanging around her ne ck. Her black hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail, a couple of strands clinging to her flushed cheeks.
She wore a black tank t op that hugged her body and tight athletic shorts that left little to the imagination.
Akira froze for a heartbeat.
She looked up, smirki ng. "Took you long enough."
"You said four," he replied.
"And you’re l ate by two minutes." She stepped closer, and he could sme ll the scent of her perfume mixed with sweat and shampoo. "Strip to basics. We’re building you up."
Akira didn’t move at first, then sighed, pulling off his jacket and shirt. He felt exposed with hi s pal e skin and soft stomach with no definition. "Happy?"
"Not yet," Mia said, circling him like a trainer. "But I wil l be."
She pointed to the mat. "Push-ups. Now."
He dropped dow n, grunting a s he started the first set.
"Lower," sh e ordered, pressing a h and between his shoulder blades. "Feel the burn."
Her touch l ingered longer than necessary, nails tracing lightly over his skin. Each rep sent a tremor through him.
"Ten more," she said. "And stop staring at my legs."
He smirked bet ween breaths. "You wore shorts for a re ason."
She snorte d. "Maybe I just like watching yo u sweat."
After two sets, his arms trembled. Mia knelt beside him, eyes glinting. "Break time."
She s uddenly climbed his lap and straddle him, m aking h im to freeze in p lace. "This is for motivation," she whi spered. Her warm breath tickled his ear.
"Mia—"
"Shh ." She moved a bit and grinded just enough to make his mind go blank. "Earn more reps, get more of this."
The syste m chimed softly.
[+10 PERV-P OINTS]
[HOST’S HE ART RATE ELEVATED. POW ER INCREASING.]
Akira’s breath hitched. "You’ re insane."
"Maybe." She smiled devilishly. "Now do another set."
He did. Push-ups, squats, bench presses... she pushed him hard, taunting every mistake, rewarding e ver y effort with a teasing touch.
"Good, " sh e said, guiding his arms as he lifted. "Keep your b ack straight. Like this."
Her hands moved down from his s houlders to his chest.
The system’s text blinked:
[Skill Unlocked: Fo c us Under Pressure.]
[Would you like to purchase Basic Physique Upgrade – Co st: 10 PP?]
Akira didn’t hesitate. "Buy."
He felt a rush of heat flow through him , like fire spreading just under his skin. His muscles tingled and tightened slightly, almost as if they were changing shape. He let out a quick breath, gripping the bar more tightl y.
Mia’s eyes widened slightly. "You ’re... responding well."
He grinn ed. "Told y ou. Fast learner."
"Don’t get cocky," she warned, but her gaze remained o n his arms longer than before.
By the time he was doing his final set , he could almost not move. Mia hovered over him, spotting his lift. "Push harder, Akira!" she yelled.
The weights clanged as his arms trembl ed. He felt her warm, smooth thigh brush against his arm.
"Good," she murmured, leaning clo ser. Her cleavage was just inches away from his face. "Now feel this."
He powered through the last rep. The syste m pinged immed iately:
[Upgra de Initiated.]
[Minor Physical Transformati on in Progress.]
His chest rose a nd fell quickly. Mia reached down, wipin g his sweat wi th the edge of her shirt, showing off the smooth line of her stomach.
"You’re not as gross when you try," she said with a teasing grin.
"Thanks, I think."
She slung her t owel around her neck and picke d up her bag. " Tomor row, same time. Impress me and maybe..." She let the word hang, eyes glinting with promise.
Akira tilted his head. "May be what?"
"You’ll find out." Her hand stayed briefly on his shoulder before she walked out.

Outside, the evening air was cool. They walked together down the quiet street.
"So, " Mia broke the silence between t hem aft er over ten minutes of walking, "today w as... interest ing ."
"Yeah, very."
Mia smirked. " You mean when you couldn’t stop staring?"
"Hey, I was multitasking."
"Sure you were." She stopped in front of her house, turning to fa ce him. For a second, the two of them didn’t say anythin g. Then, surprisingly, she stepped closer.
"You know," she said softly, "that grab ear lier..." Her eyes darted away, cheeks pink. "Do it again sometime."
He blinked. "Ser ious?"
She bit her lip, then gave him a quick push toward the sidewalk. "Goodnight, creep."
Akira watched her go, stunned. The system’s voice purred. "You’re doing beautifully. She’s hooked, ju st not r eady to admit it."
A notification flashed.
[DAILY Q UEST COMPLETE: 5 PP EARNED.]
When he reached home, Akira dropped onto his bed, still grinning like an idiot. He opened the system menu, scanning th e glowing text.
"Seventy points left," he murmured. "Let’s see what else you’ve got for me."
The list scrolled unt il o ne caught his eye:
[Skill Available: Lust Scan – Cost: 25 PP]
"Lust Scan?"
"Helps you underst an d what othe rs crave most," the voice explained. "Useful, don’t you think?"
He smirked. "Buy it."
He felt a warmth in his vision, like a glowing light. The mirror on t he wall began to shimmer, revealing some faint words above his reflection.
[Host’ s Kin k: Reve nge Domi nation]
Akira chuckled. "Figures ."
The system purred. "Delicious, isn’t it? You’re evolving."
He glanced at his reflection. "Sakura..." he whispered. "You started this. I’ll end it. "
Just as the thoug ht settled, he heard a distant scream from outs ide.
Akira s hot up, heart racing. "What th e hell was that?"
