Boosting Mental Potential

As for why she's one of the housemates.

Sterl turned his head slightly, avoiding the long golden hair of the girl in front of him, and behind her was a much quieter girl with black hair. She was holding a suitcase filled with clothes, quietly tidying up the room.

They were Sterl's "family."

Because all children within the Earth's human forces are cultivated through specialized baby incubators and professional gene banks. And the babies are sent into the game world as soon as they develop consciousness.

There's hardly any concept of family here.

Most people grow up in one social care institution after another.

And Sterl and the two girls in front of him—

With flowing golden hair and a good figure, Linna, and the much quieter but more beautiful and classically elegant Rayna, were just "roommates" after leaving the social care institutions.

As for how it developed to this point... that's a complex story.

In short, as a time traveler with an adult's mind, Sterl had taken care of the two girls multiple times in the social care institution, helping them grow up healthily.

Naturally, after the age of 15, the three of them developed a certain level of self-care ability and rented a house together in the sixth district of the base to live together.

Partly because they got along well, and partly because the income of ordinary people before becoming players was often insufficient. Living together, three people could significantly reduce living costs.

The blonde girl smiled very brightly, telling Sterl,

"Of course, I passed. I already have a mastery level basic boxing technique."

"And guess what, Rayna actually managed to break through to the mastery level in basic meditation during these few days of training!"

"Now both of us can become players!"

Hearing this news, Sterl was quite surprised.

Well, that's great!

Now all three of us can become players!

In [Transcendence], theoretically, anyone can gain experience by killing monsters and then convert that experience into their own strength through meditation.

However, as a newly emerging force, Earth's human forces don't have enough resources to train all humans into players, let alone professionals.

Newbies without resources almost have no chance of killing monsters independently without someone else's help.

Moreover, the game itself is extremely difficult. Failure results in permanent death, preventing any further login.

...

Therefore, the common choice of all bases is to try awakening talents when everyone turns 18. Those with talents will be trained as players. That was Sterl's situation.

But those without talents aren't completely hopeless.

As long as you master any basic skill, be it boxing, footwork, swordsmanship, or the like, to an expert level or beyond, you'll get the chance to become a player. Someone can then take you under their wing for leveling up and teach you meditation techniques.

But the latter also requires "talent," which ordinary people can't achieve.

Because in [Transcendence], proficient-level skills require not only proficiency but also personal insight into the skill. Many people can't acquire a proficient skill in their lifetime.

Sterl had been practicing [Basic Footwork] all this time. But since he had not broken through to a proficient level, he had to pin his hopes on talent awakening.

On the other hand, the blonde girl Linna, who had been living with him, had a good aptitude and had reached mastery level in basic fist technique a year ago.

The dark-haired girl, Rayna, has potential in a unique way, she's practicing basic meditation, the hardest yet most rewarding skill among all the basics.

But she had always been just a step away from reaching proficient level until she broke through during the last few days of training before the test.

"Alright! Little Sterl, from now on, just stick with us," Linna said with feigned bravado, grabbing Sterl by the neck and pulling him out of the closet.

Sterl felt Lina's tender and smooth skin, as well as the extremely perfect body curves trained with the help of master level basic boxing techniques.

He kept a straight face, having gotten used to it after living together for so many years.

And Rayna cautiously approached, seeing that Sterl didn't object, she also leaned on him.

"We've thought it through! First, we'll follow the officials to level up outside the base. Once we officially become players and save some money, we'll buy a bigger house, preferably with a front and back yard."

"Sterl, didn't you always want to have a pet? When we have money, we can choose a bear or a cheetah with no level..."

The girl rambled on, enjoying the future. When she got excited, her face turned slightly red, showing a sweet smile.

But Sterl just smiled slightly:

"What do you mean? It's as if I can only rely on you guys in the future."

"Let me tell you, don't be scared."

"I'm a D-grade talent awakener!"

He trusted his two housemates. But before he truly grew strong, Sterl felt it was better to keep a low profile.

As for the cheat, there was no need to disclose it to anyone.

"You... awakened a talent??" Linna and Rayna's expressions changed instantly. They had just been joking around to ease Sterl's potential blow to his self-esteem. Now, the two truly showed happy smiles, extremely delighted.

The two girls couldn't help but hug Sterl tighter until he opened the player panel and shared the view with other units.

"Really D-grade?!" Linna and Rayna's uncertainty turned into joy. Because only talent awakeners could pull up the attribute panel before reaching level one!

Sterl really succeeded!

"That's great!" Linna jumped up excitedly, her golden hair fluttering in the air. Then, she gave Sterl a deep kiss, hanging on him like a koala.

Sterl, in turn, hugged the girl back, kissing deeply, his tongue gently sucking and tasting the girl's innocence and passion.

After a while.

The two slowly parted, leaving a few strands of glistening threads in the air.

Sterl looked at the girl next to him; the black-haired girl had taken a half step back, longing and shyly looking at him.

"Don't worry, you're included too!"

"Today we won't cook anymore, let's find a fancy restaurant outside to celebrate..." Sterl felt his penis becoming a bit stiff and swollen.

Two stunning beautiful girls lived with him for three years, so naturally everything that should have been done was already done.

What only makes Sterl uncomfortable is that he didn't have mastery level skills before. In the past, after fucking Linna in bed, he could only face Rayna, who had stronger endurance and mastery in martial arts, with resentment and defeat.

Today, he's going to redeem himself!

He immediately activated his talent, "Descent of the God"!

All players follow the same usage rules for their talent abilities. Physical talents slowly drain one's stamina (without any job or other influences, stamina equals constitution times one hundred), while mental talents consume energy (energy equals spirit times one hundred).

Additionally, activating a talent will increase the consumption of stamina or energy based on how proficiently you use the talent. In simpler terms, the more intense the battle, the greater the consumption.

And as for Stel's current "battle" intensity...

He could keep his talent activated all day long!

"Go to bed..." Linna's eyes were hazy, she gasped for breath and exhaled a trail of fragrance.

However, Stel just shook his head.

He relied on the supernatural power of the heavenly deity to descend to earth and directly tore open the girl's clothes. He parted the young girl's white and slender legs, and then vigorously straightened his waist…

In an instant, Linna's mind went blank!

"Oh yes!"

This is the gold content of Stel's constitution bonus to fifty points!

The blonde girl felt like her whole body was filled with penetration.

"No! No!"

"No! Don't stop!" Her mind was blank and chaotic, and she could only shout randomly.

And Stel, on the other hand, was enjoying the waves of damp heat and entanglement emanating from his penis.

Activate at 50 points of power! Activate agility at 50 points!

It's like the most urgent drumbeat, or like a heavy hammer pounding fiercely.

In just a few seconds, Stel sprinted wildly, to the point where there were shadows on her waist, while Lina's eyes turned white and her body tilted backwards like a long bow.

" Oh yes!"

" Oh yeah!" saliva dripped weakly, and Lina stuck out her tongue, barely gasping for breath, with a mischievous expression on her face.

However, Stel was pleasantly surprised to find that the girl's physique was also quite unusual. In such a fast sprint, the entanglement of the penis becomes even stronger, making him extremely comfortable…

On the other side,

the black haired girl Rayna was completely stunned. She knelt on both knees, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes blurred.
