Chapter 6 : His New issue
Eiden woke up and went straight for the mirror to admire his looks again. His Charm had finally reached 7 above average and for the first time in a long while, he could see the difference. He looked at himself, giggling almost like a little girl who got her favorite toy.
During this process, System-chan’s voice echoed sweetly in his ears.
"Someone is in a good mood."
Eiden, a little embarrassed and suddenly coming to his senses, awkwardly brushed his teeth, washed his face, and took a shower. Afterward, he got dressed for college.
He was walking the same route to Fors High. Nothing had changed no new buildings, no new sceneries. It was the same old route. But something was different. Just like yesterday, he was no longer a Charm 6. He was now a 7.
With Charm 7, Eiden was far more confident than he used to be. He had combed his hair neatly and taken extra care of his face, even borrowing Sasha’s creams. Before, he didn’t really care about how he looked. But now that he knew his Charm stat could increase, he had become far more interested in his appearance.
With his head held high and his stride long, Eiden marched toward college with renewed pride. But then swoosh! a car passed by, and his eyes drifted toward it. It was no ordinary car. A black, sleek Range Rover glided past, and inside it, he caught a glimpse of none other than Ruel, looking smug as always.
In that moment, reality hit Eiden like a truck.
"Damn... I’m not rich."
