LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 40 – System Update
[The 'Multiversal Romantic Scripter System' is ready to evolve. Would you like to start the evolution?]
"What? The system is going to evolve?"
I looked at the message that appeared in front of me with wide eyes. In all the years of my life, I had never heard of a system evolving, not even by hearsay. This was... completely absurd.
What would happen if I touched YES? Would the system evolve into an even better version? Would I lose skills or functionality from the current system? Or would everything get better?
I didn't have the answers to these questions, but what I did know was that I had not gotten to this point in my life by being afraid of the unknown.
[You have begun the evolution of your system.]
[System is preparing to evolve...]
[System is ready.]
[System is acquiring new functionalities...]
[System has acquired new functionalities.]
[The PENALTY RESTORATION feature has been added].
[PENALTY RESTORATION will undo the extreme penalties of uncompleted missions.]
"Does this mean I won't die if I don't fuck Rias? Well, that's not so bad. I was going to fuck Rias anyway, but it would be bad if the system put the same condition on things I don't want to do."
[RELATIONSHIP SUMMARY feature added].
[RELATIONSHIP SUMMARY is now a new option for you to understand your relationships with characters].
[System update completed.]
[Multiversal Romantic Scripter System has been upgraded to Multiversal Romantic Scripter System 1.2].
"Huh? I thought the system would get a new name and give me more skills, but it was like an update, a new patch." I said as I looked at all the screens together and then threw them all aside at once, closing them. "Anyway, back to my moment of decision, who should I..."
Just as I was about to think about what I was thinking before the system interrupted me, another system screen appeared for me.
[Decision Point 4! You think you are ready to have sex. Your options are:
1 - Rias Gremory (See relationship details).
2 - Akeno Himejima (See Relationship Details).
3 - Asia Argento (See details).
4 - Koneko Toujou (See relationship details).
5 - Sona Sitri (See relationship details)].
"See relationship... I guess this is what the system calls a relationship summary." I put a hand to my chin and sat down on the bed, staring at the large screen in front of me.
Every name on the list brought back different memories and feelings, but two of the names were of girls I hadn't even had the shadow of a romantic relationship with.
"The system must have listed all the women I have at least one heart for. That means I have a chance of having sex with any of them."
I looked at the first option, "Rias Gremory," and clicked to see the details of my relationship with her. Surprisingly, a picture of Rias appeared on the screen, with her fire-engine red hair and enchanting blue eyes. The screen also began to display a detailed summary of our relationship so far.
[Character Name: Rias Gremory
Intimacy level: 5/10 hearts
Feelings: Mutual romantic.
Description: Rias has strong feelings of affection and desire for you. She sees you as a reliable partner and someone she can trust completely.
Remarkable memories:
First encounter: Upon arriving in Kuoh City, you were nearly killed by Raynare, a fallen angel, but Rias Gremory saved you.
Training: You spent many mornings training together. As a result, she learned more about you, and you learned more about her.
Fighting Raiser Phenex: You showed that you were willing to kill and die for Rias Gremory, both as her servant and as her friend.
About sex:
The chances of her agreeing to lose her virginity to you are currently LOW].
The system was able to impressively summarize my relationship with Rias and even gave me an estimate. However...
"Low? What do you mean?!"
My voice echoed in the silent room as my hands automatically gripped the system's translucent screen.
Sitting there, I couldn't believe what I was reading. Rias Gremory and I had such a deep connection, so remarkable, and yet the system said that the chances of her agreeing to lose her virginity to me were slim. This was incomprehensible to me because she had offered herself to me just a few days ago.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm my mind.
"Okay..." I muttered to myself. "Let's find out what's going on."
To better understand what these odds meant, I clicked to open the summary of my relationship with Akeno Himejima, because with her, the only thing missing was the next step.
[Character Name: Akeno Himejima
Level of intimacy: 3/10 hearts
Feelings: Colored friendship.
Description: Akeno feels comfortable around you, and there is a lot of physical and sexual attraction between you. Romantic feelings are still developing.
Outstanding memories:
First kiss: After a random mission, Akeno offered you a reward for completing the mission, and you stole a kiss from her on that pretext.
Confidential: Akeno and you kissed in the ladies' room, and she gave you a blowjob in that situation.
Jealous: She didn't like that you gave your blazer to Rias instead of her in the Forest of Familiars incident.
About sex:
The chances of her agreeing to lose her virginity to you are currently HIGH].
I scratched my head, more confused than before. "How can my chances be higher with Akeno than with Rias if I have less hearts with Akeno?"
Gradually, it became clear to me that the hearts were more related to my chances of having a declaration of love successfully accepted than to my relationship level, so to speak.
Yes, I could easily judge that I was much closer to Akeno than to Rias because my sexual relationship with Akeno developed so quickly. But thinking that way was also a mistake, because my emotional relationship with Rias was also much more advanced than with Akeno.
Basically, they were two women who developed their relationships with me in different ways because they were different people with different experiences. While it seemed easier for Akeno to have a sexual relationship than an emotionally deep one, the opposite was true for Rias. The strange thing was that they had very similar personalities in some ways.
"Well, it might take a while until I can have sex with Rias. I'm not in a hurry, but I don't want to waste time either. Besides, having sex with Akeno seems to be a good way to mend hearts with her... Yeah, that's a much more viable alternative now that I know I have to go easy on Rias."
"Hey Leo, are you still there?" Asia asked from the other side of the door. "Not feeling well?"
