Chapter 32: Glitch Explained
“G-Glitched?” I ask in absolute shock.
My eyes are stuck to the system description as if someone glued them in place.
[Yes, glitched. All these changes in the system are because of the glitch. And this glitch came because you didn’t tell me about Ama—B-Black system earlier!!!]
B-But my life points! They are zero! And the timer is zero as well! I-I mean, how am I even alive!?
[Hmph... Though I am really angry with you, as it is my duty to help you out, nothing can be done about it.]
[Well, let me tell you, I am not completely sure that what I am going to say will be true as these are nothing but my guesses but I think they are correct.]
[As far as I can see, each section of the system is affected a bit differently than the others. I will try to explain what might be wrong with these sections and how will it affect you.]
[Starting from the top where the most important section is. As you can see, your level, life points, consumption rate and even the points needed to level up are all at zero.]
[And about how are you not dying? I think the reason is simple. Even though you have no points, their consumption rate is zero as well. And actually, I don’t think you can even level up till you solve this glitch.]
Wait, I am alive even though I have no life points, right? And there is not even a timer!
Isn’t this a freaking ideal situation!?
[No, actually. While it may seem like that to you, but right now, the system infused with your body is releasing a high amount of toxic magic. While this won’t affect you much if the system reverts back to normal fast, but in the long run, it is really deadly...]
Long run is fine with me. Humans don’t live above 50-60 years anyway so...
[By long run, I actually meant a month. This becomes even more serious because, after death, there is no more sex, you see?]
After death? What the fuck are you saying? At least don’t joke around right now, idiot!
[Fucking is no joke, buddy! Anyway, after one month, you will die if the system remains glitched...]
Bullshit! One freaking month is a bit too little time!
[True. Well, anyway, moving forward and getting on to the partner section, the thing which is mainly affected here by the glitch is the addition of Layla's name in it.]
Wait, shouldn’t it be the levels? I mean, me and Layla confessed to each other last night so, it’s not exactly weird that she is there.
[REALLY? Did you bang that fine ass afterward? Did you knead those tits! And please tell me that she was a virgin and you broke her hymen!!!]
No, idiot, we didn’t have sex. Just some cuddling and kisses. I insisted on it.
[...]
What?
[... such a pussy.]
Shut up! This is a serious situation, okay? Focus!
[Well, fine. But still, if you guys didn’t have sex, her name shouldn’t be here.]
Why? I had sex with other women as well, but their names didn’t appear here.
[Yeah, but those were temporary. The condition to become permanent is that the girl should love you and to seal the deal, you both should have sex together.]
Wait, this does not make any sense. Rebecca was permanent from the start.
[Yeah, she was and directly level 2 at that. It is just a serious case of “love at first sight”, I guess.]
R-Rebecca loves me?
[Yup, she obviously does. Anyway, I have something which needs my immediate attention, so we will move forward and finish this fast. Well, nothing has changed in the skills section, but there is an interesting as well as a little concerning change in the buyable skills section.]
Where? I don’t see any change there.
[Sigh... Read the second one.]
Beast's System Read...
Wait, this was not there before!
[No, it wasn’t. This skill was supposed to be unlocked at level 5 and its price should also be around 50,000 points, not 10,000.]
Damn...this skill really does looks really useful.
By the way, what is the “concerning thing” about this?
[Well, nothing much but I was just thinking that if this skill has appeared now, what will you get when you actually reach level 5?]
Hmm, yeah...
[Anyway, down to the Point earning methods. I think you get this but I will tell you once myself. Permanent methods won’t give you points anymore.]
T-They won’t?
Damn...
Wait, but look at the temporary methods! I can get 1000 points just from spanking! And freaking 5,000 points just from a handjob! Isn’t it better?
[Well, while I do agree that the number of points are insanely high, but as temporary tasks cannot be done during sex, they will be difficult on in their own way. Anyway, it’s not that Life points matter much now, seeing your consumption rate is zero...]
Fuck! This would have been so good earlier but now it’s just...
[Well, that’s mostly the end, just two more things. First, about the timer. I think if the timer would have actually hit zero, you would have been long dead.]
[So, the most probable thing is that the time has stopped working altogether and that you can take as much time as you want to level up.]
That's a relief.
[You will die in a month anyway if you don’t resolve this glitch so...]
Fuck it!
[Anyway, the last thing. Which might be the most concerning thing yet, can you guess it by looking at the system?]
What? There is something else?
I look at the system and find nothing much strange there.
I cannot find anything else...
[Well, I actually mentioned it before, but don’t you find it a little weird that there are a mission section and a third poison?]
[...especially when the black system is not here.]
