Chapter 32: Lust Troll
’Then is there any other host on Earth?’
[ <LUST> refuses to ruin the host’s surprise. It believes in ’no spoilers’. ]
’If you’re saying that if it would ruin my surprise, then that must mean that there are more hosts, no?’ Fredrinn smirked as he guessed.
[ <LUST> shrugs that host is free to believe whatever he wishes to. ]
Clearly, he wasn’t getting any answers from the hateful sin anytime soon.
Thus Fredrinn removed all the popping questions from his mind and pivoted back to the original question that led him to ask for Lust’s help.
’Forget all that. Tell me why the mana here feels different?’
[ <LUST> is thinking whether to answer the question. ]
[ <LUST> offers two options. ]
[ Option 1: Short explanation – 25 LP ]
[ Option 2: Detailed explanation – 50 LP ]
[ <LUST> recommends the detailed explanation. ]
Fredrinn had 100 LPs that he had gained from the first mission, and the system had also rewarded him with 50 more LPs for kissing with Andrea.
20 LP for the first kiss, and 30 for the next one since he also got her in a suggestive posture during it.
And now, it was asking for 50 LPs back for answering a normal question?
Fredrinn stared at the options, feeling like it was a trick question.
In addition, the sin was directly highlighting the ’recommended’ option?
As much as he knew about the sins, Fredrinn could guess that listening to it would be stupid. The better option would clearly be to choose the short explanation.
However, after interacting with the sin for a while, Fredrinn had come to a realization.
It wasn’t just a random, mindless helper of the system. Lust had its own personality and was probably much more knowledgeable than Fredrinn himself.
So if Fredrinn was able to come to the realization that he would choose the opposite of the recommendation, clearly Lust would be able to do the same.
’Option two. Give me a long explanation.’
Fredrinn asked confidently.
[ <LUST> thanks host for 50 LP. ]
[ <LUST> explains. Mana that host is familiar to is of a higher purity since Apolasia is a higher graded planet when compared to Earth.
Earth has recently awakened its mana and the purity is low. The host’s mana tank still remains the normal size, but the host’s normal spells would now cost exponentially more when compared to the past. They would also be weaker.
The more complex the spells, the higher the mana drain.
To connect with mana from Earth, the host can buy mana familiarity skill from the shop.
It would normally cost 1000 LP, but <LUST> is willing to offer 90% discount specially for the host. ]
The explanation was long indeed, but after reading it, Fredrinn received no joy.
Lust had only given him bad news after bad news.
Firstly his mana drain would be higher and his spells would be weaker, and then as a cherry on top, it was trying to swindle him out of his last 100 LP?!
He wasn’t sure if that skill really cost 1000 LP or not, but he knew that there was no way that Lust was offering him a freebie.
It literally said that it doesn’t give freebies sometime ago!
And yet... Fredrinn had to play along with that act.
He had to listen to its demand. He had to pay the last 100 even when he didn’t want to.
He had no choice.
Feeling as if he was signing a deal with the devil, Fredrinn begrudgingly requested the sin to buy that skill for him.
[ <LUST> buys the Unranked skill: Mana Familiarity. ]
[ 100 LP has been deducted. ]
[ <LUST> says pleasure doing business. ]
[ <LUST> offers another limited time discount that it would answer any of the host’s questions for only 1 LP. Time limit: 1 minute. ]
’...’ Fredrinn opened his eyes finally, feeling like he was being trolled.
Lust had intentionally drained him off the entire LP balance, and was NOW OFFERING THAT DEAL?
Fredrinn usually considered himself very calm and patient, but in front of the sinful ragebaiter, even he couldn’t control his emotions that well.
But then, he realized that even if it was just for a joke, Lust’s discount was actually real.
He was indeed offering it for a whole whopping minute.
If Fredrinn could just get some LP, wouldn’t it be perfect?
He had an infinite number of questions that he wanted to ask Lust, but it always refused on the face.
Wasn’t this the best opportunity?
Fredrinn’s anger calmed down as he took a deep breath, before his eyes fell over the peacefully sleeping face of Andrea on his lap.
He didn’t want to do it because it went against his ethics, but... it would be fine, right? He already kissed her twice, and what’s wrong with the third time?
Even if he only got 10 or just 5 LP for it, it would all be worth it.
His fingers brushed against her brunette hair, tucking them behind her ear as he gulped seeing her face.
Her lips appeared so plump and delectable that he felt his little bro trembling just from his imagination.
Andrea hummed against his fingers, her face nuzzling higher on his lap as her silky hair fell over his crotch, giving even more sensation to his already struggling cock.
Fredrinn shifted slightly, his fingers clenched in a fist as he struggled to calm his raging boner.
He only wanted to kiss her to farm some free LP, but he didn’t know that it would lead to... this.
A tent had already formed on his crotch, and to make matters worse, Andrea refused to settle down.
She was seeking the warmth of his hand, nuzzling against the palm and rubbing it on her cheek as she kept stimulating his third leg.
’Fuck you, lust.’ Fredrinn hissed hatefully in his mind, his legs still crossed in meditative position while he tried his best not to wake Andrea up.
He gave a quick glance around and then shifted the angle of the tent in his pants, moving it in the opposite direction to Andrea’s head.
And then finally, he glanced at the Lust’s timer.
34 seconds remained till the deal expired.
His eyes settled back on her rosy lips.
