Chapter 7 - Starter Pack

Kaiya eased into her classroom seat, the lingering thrill of her Lian faint escapade still tingling in her veins.

The room hummed with post-lecture chatter. students packing bags, swapping notes, and casting curious glances her way after her bold AV industry quip. She leaned back, feigning interest in her scribbled notes, and let her focus drift inward as the system's familiar purple glow flickered to life in her mind's eye.

The notifications unfurled like a digital scroll, and she couldn't suppress the grin tugging at her lips.

[Quest Complete]

[Rewards: 100 XP]

[Pornstar Route unlocked]

[Accept?]

She mentally nodded, accepting with a silent cheer, and the system chimed again, its voice laced with mock applause.

[Pornstar Route Enabled]

[Oh, look, a miracle! You've leveled up to Level 1, Your Highness.]

[Rewards: Starter Pack granted]

Kaiya's excitement bubbled up, her inner voice chiming in. 'Level 1 and a starter pack? This is like unwrapping the best birthday present ever'

In her mind's eye, a shimmering virtual box materialized, glowing with an ethereal light no one else could see. She "opened" it with a mental tap, her anticipation peaking as the contents spilled out like a treasure trove.

[Rewards Unlocked:]

[Skill: Charm Aura] - A passive boost to your natural allure.

[Skill: Seduction Insight] - Gauges others' attraction levels with a percentage display.

[5x Healing Potions] - Restores health and minor mana.

[5x Boost Potions] - Temporarily enhances physical stats.

The system's voice cut in, its sarcasm sharpening.

[Oh, and Seduction Insight's active now. You'll see percentages above people's heads—how much they're into you. Don't get too cocky, though; most will probably stay in the single digits with your current charm.]

Kaiya glanced around, and sure enough, faint numbers hovered over her classmates—Jade at 15%, Sara at 10%, a random guy in the back at a measly 5%. 'Single digits? Rude! But this is gold—I can work with this!'

She looked for Lian, but he wasn't in the classroom, probably today was too much for him.

Eager to dive deeper, she pulled up the system interface, the purple screen adjusting to reflect her new status.

{??? System Interface}

====== Physical Aspects =====

[Skills: Charm Aura, Seduction Insight]

[Talents: None]

Her jaw dropped slightly, a mix of awe and disbelief washing over her.

'Plus five to everything? And new stat, Allure? I'm basically a walking romance novel heroine now!'

The interface had evolved too, with four tabs gleaming at the top: [Home], [Inventory], [Store] and [Stream], glowed faintly but the later two were locked, their icons grayed out like forbidden candy.

'Locked tabs? What's behind those—secret powers or just more system sass?'

The system's voice swooped in, its tone dripping with mock patience.

[Pay attention, Host. [Store] and [Stream] are locked until you're less of a newbie—think Level 5 or so. [Store] sells exclusive goodies; [Stream] connects to Hunter Stream, where magic users upload videos for cash and fame. Oh, and in this world, mages flaunt fancy stat-watches that link to Hunter Stream. But you? You've got me. Your system bypasses that clunky tech and unlocks those tabs as you level up. Lucky you, right?]

Kaiya's mind raced with possibilities.

'A stat-watch and Hunter Stream? I could stream my own stuff and get rich.'

The idea of creating content, blending her charm with this new world's flair, sent a shiver of excitement down her spine.

The university day drew to a close, and her earlier AV declaration fueled a low hum of chatter. As she walked out with Jade and Sara, the air felt thick with stares—some curious, some odd, a few downright weird.

Jade nudged her, her voice light, "You've got the campus buzzing!"

Sara smirked, adjusting her glasses, "Yeah, enjoy the spotlight. Though It's a weird one."

At the gate, her mother and Viviana waited in the car. The ride home was quiet, the engine's hum filling the silence as Kaiya mulled over her new skills.

Once in her room, she locked the door, her heart pounding with curiosity. She pulled a Healing Potion from her inventory, the vial materializing in her hand with a soft glow.

'Time to test the goods—let's see if this system's for real.'

[Hey, Host. Aren't you too Sus]

'Shut up - Testing is testing.'

She pricked her finger with a pin, wincing at the sharp sting, then dripped a single drop of the potion onto the cut. A warm tingle spread, the skin knitting back together in seconds.

'It works!'

The system's voice cut through her triumph, its tone laced with mock indignation.

[Oh, look, the great Host finally believes me! Took you long enough. I told you it's legit. Stop testing my patience, or I'll start charging you for the tutorials!]

Kaiya chuckled, shaking her head.

'Okay, Mr. Sassy Pants'

She looked at the potion for a long while, ideas flaring up in her mind. She can use them for many things to be honest... hmm even saying that she is a mage finally.

Suddenly her eyes lit up.

She tipped the vial, spilling the entire contents onto the wooden floor, watching the liquid pool in a shimmering puddle.

Then, focusing intently, she willed it back into her inventory drop by drop. To her delight, it worked, each drop reappeared as a usable unit.

'Genius! One drop heals, and I can use it like this. Haha—fake mage status, here I come!'

She tested it again, summoning a single drop to heal a scratch on her arm. The effect was subtle but effective, a faint glow accompanying the mend.

'Perfect! I can pass this off as support magic. Healing and buffs. The family's going to eat this up tomorrow!' Her mind buzzed with plans, imagining the awe on her mother's face, the grudging respect from Viviana.

As she sat on her bed, replaying her day, the system chimed with a new quest, its voice dripping with challenge.

[New Quest]

[Make Lian's seduction percentage reach 100%]

[Reward: 500 XP and a skill upgrade]

[Time Limit: 72 hours]

[Failure Penalty: -10 stat points]

Kaiya's breath hitched, her excitement mixing with a jolt of nerves.

'100%? That's a big leap from faint-inducing whispers—and a 10-point penalty? Yikes, no pressure or anything!'

She glanced at her stats again, the new seduction metrics taunting her. 'Lian's already at… what, i didn't check after today? I've got 72 hours to crank it to max. Better start plotting I guess.'

She leaned back against her pillow, her mind drifting to the day's events. The weird looks at the gate lingered in her thoughts—some were amused, others judgmental, a few downright puzzled.

Her AV declaration had stirred the pot, and now she was the campus enigma. 'Was that AV line too much?'

Her family's reaction weighed on her too. The Healing Potion trick could buy her time, but she knew Viviana's sharp mind wouldn't stay fooled forever.

'Mom might buy the mage act, but Viviana's a shadow mage—she'll sniff out a fake eventually. Better level up fast and get real magic before that happens.'

The system's sarcastic nudge pulled her back. [Daydreaming again, Host? Focus—Lian's percentage won't climb itself. Maybe try batting those pretty new eyelashes instead of staring into space.]

Kaiya snorted. 'Oh, hush, you. I'm strategizing! Lian's shy, so I'll need a slow burn—maybe a study date, some charm, a little potion boost if I'm desperate. 72 hours is tight, but I've got this.'

She glanced at the locked [Store] and [Stream] tabs, curiosity gnawing at her. Hunter Stream sounded like a goldmine—videos for fame and cash.

'Level 5 can't come soon enough. Imagine streaming my own content'
