The System In My Head

Daddy swollen

Ben looked into the bathroom mirror and did not recognize the person looking back.

"Damn!"

He's not fat anymore! In just one week, all the fat is gone. Moreover, his muscles were chiseled. He's slim, not as big as a bodybuilder, but he looks like an athlete! Ben goes to the gym every day. Yesterday, he trained for 3 hours before getting tired. This was the inevitable result of training like an animal.

Here's what 10 weeks of hard work at the gym can do! Ben felt lucky the Stat Multiplier was for Display and not another stat. If it was for knowledge or communication, it would be difficult to tell whether he could make a significant leap. After all, people study for years to earn an entry-level degree. Meanwhile, 10 weeks in the gym is enough time to do a total physical transformation.

His face was also somewhat more attractive. Even though it was just average, at least he was part of a single chin club now. Too bad he can't do anything about his height. No doubt his style could use a lot of work as well.

Ben checked the statistics. He had received several warnings before.

[See: 5 - You're short and have idiot hair. Your body is decent, so targeting a blind woman is an option. Don't let them touch your hair]

Ben started flexing his body in the mirror. "Yes! The blind woman will be fine!"

[Kharisma: 0 - This is still the level of leprosy]

"...I need to take leadership classes."

[Social Status: 2 - Students are our future. It is a shame that we live in the present.]

[Application skills: 0 - Consider a blast doll]

"I can't afford it!"

[Knowledge: 4 - Beginner level students]

[Violence: 3 - Congratulations. Both balls have fallen off]

...Ben was about to celebrate that he also earned two points in manhood, but then he read the damn message! But this is a good thing. After inquiring about the system, he found out his physical transformation only increased his manhood by one point. The act of going to the gym every day gives him another point. Masculinity is a status that is elevated by doing things that are considered "male" by the system, and some of those activities need to be done regularly. As for what the list is, sorry. This system is not good enough to give him such a thing.

[Communication: 3 - You can speak .. with the eloquence of a child. Are you a child? Cute little baby? ...No? ...Why no?]

"...Snorted. I'm a big one."

[Personal talent: 2 - Waste level]

...While reading the incredibly soul-destroying status screen as usual, Ben still felt happy with his growth. He saw potential in the system because he earned 5 stat points in a week! If he continued to earn stat points at this rate, wouldn't he one day be as strong, tall, and handsome as Batman? Even if he can't get high, at least Wolverine!

As long as he survives this month, this system will be the key to his future! In addition to statistics, Ben also gets other advantages.

[Weekly Challenges: This is a numbers game - Open 100 women]

[Solution status: 87/100]

Ben is busy. Between school and exercise, she goes to crowded places in Manhattan and approaches women to get ahead in the Weekly Challenge. He even has some results! Although they rejected him at all times, he noticed that as time went on, his response was not that bad. In the past few days, he had barely even received a slap or drink on his face!

...Not a lot of slaps or drinks at all!

... Just a few times!

Towards the end, a girl even laughed like it was a joke! When he realizes Ben is serious, it gets even stranger, but it's a good start!

The reason for the better response was obvious—his appearance improved. 'These girls only care about looks ..' thought the man who approached the woman told them she liked their breasts.

It's unfortunate that Ben didn't open up new achievements, but it's not something he can control.

[PUA Points: 350]

He had 350 points but still needed another 150 points to use it.

After reviewing his progress, Ben was excited. He decided to go to the gym. Even though his Digger had expired, he felt a sweet profit and wanted more even though it took longer. He also knows that being fit doesn't mean he'll stay that way if he doesn't do anything. A good body needs care. After all, Ben's new fitness target is still a long way off.

Training was impossible for him before. Now, he's enjoying it. The problem with habits is that they are difficult to form but much easier to maintain once you get through the challenging initial phase. Ben is lucky to have a Stat Growth Multiplier for it.

***

Ben is training in the gym with a weight machine. He finished his practice when he heard the laughter of some people at the entrance. He turns to see that it is Tyler and one of his friends. They had dark pockets under their eyes, taking shaky steps as if half asleep. Ben knew they had been partying and drunk from the night before. In fact, there is a high chance that they are only here to detox in the sauna. When Ben took a closer look at Tyler, his eyebrows shot up.

Tyler's not thinner. No, he's even fatter! Since they bet, Ben has never seen Tyler in the gym once and now knows why. It was new student week. Every year at this time, the first-year students are having a lot of parties, and obviously Tyler is pampering him too much.

Ben glances at Tyler's stomach as he staggers in the gym like a zombie. Then Ben looked at his muscular arm. He squeezed his biceps and realized that things were different now...He is not a weakling anymore!

Ben grinned and walked up to Tyler, blocking his way like Tyler did to him last week. "Tyler, it's time to check the results ..."

This sudden disturbance shocked Tyler. He squinted at Ben. Her hair looked somewhat familiar, but she did not recognize this athletic short man. "Huh? Who're you?"

"...Who me?" It took Ben a few seconds to understand that Tyler didn't recognize him.

Then, Ben's grin grew wider.

"I'M YOUR FATHER BEN!"
