1 The beginning and The path
I lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling of the room before turning my gaze to the smartphone next to me.
11:00 a.m.
A little late...
(Today... a lecture by Professor Richard. If I move quickly, I might be on time).
Elite University of Supernatural Powers (UEPS).
This is the university I attend.
In the modern society of this world, some people are born with seeds of power, which germinate at the age of 20 and, with the help of a ceremony, these seeds turn into all kinds of powers you can imagine, some being as cool as super strength or hyper speed.
These people who gained useful powers are called Awakened, and the best thing about belonging to this group is that you usually have an incredibly good salary and, above all, it's great for picking up women who are looking for awakened offspring.
So, in the eyes of the average person, Elite University is a place full of young people who will one day become unattainable beings to them.
Sounds good, doesn't it? But only people who meet one important requirement can go there:
A seed of power.
Seeds of power are found somewhere in the soul. These possess some kind of unknown energy that, in due time, is able to mutate the human being's body and thus allow the manifestation of supernatural abilities.
However, here's my problem.
(I don't feel any damn seed!)
Normally, a person knows they have a seed because they can somehow feel it, so they just need to wait for the ceremony. If you don't feel your seed, it means you simply don't have one.
In recent years, technology advanced enough to detect a person's potential to form a power seed. So since the age of 15, everyone has been taking this government-sponsored test to find out if they have the potential.
My situation is special because I am, like those protagonists in novels, a reincarnated person. Yes, I come from Earth, you know, Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and stuff.
"Honestly, I don't even know how I died there."
My memories of the Earth I come from are fuzzy, especially the day of my supposed death, which I don't remember.
As for my current life, it's not very exciting because I'm an orphan and I live on the government's Awakened Potential Allowance.
That is the reason for my urgency, since if I fail to awaken some useful power, the government could easily cut off my allowance and throw me out on the street.
Besides, I have already said I feel the seed (not true) to everyone I know, so turning out to be a liar in the eyes of my entire university will be the embarrassment of my life.
At first I doubted my life, but when my potential test came back positive, I thought it would be a matter of time before I felt the seed, so I relaxed. However, now that my generation ceremony is only a few months away (everyone is the same age in my class), this memory only brings me despair.
(God, Satan, Buddha, Shiva, whoever, please help me!)
After wallowing for a few minutes, I proceeded to do my daily routine before going to college.
Cry in my bed until my optimism returns.
I can't even cry loudly because the soundproofing in these government apartments is pretty poor. This I confirmed the very day I moved in here, with the moans emitted by the girlfriend of the guy next door.
(Damn, I want to enjoy a beauty too!).
Just as the sadness was building up in my eyes, I could make out some small letters in my field of vision.
(Lin... Link ... Linking?)
The letters said that.
(Holy shit, it's real?!?!?)
I got so excited that I even sat up straight in my bed, hoping whatever it was and that it would start correctly.
"I'd die of disappointment if this is a dream and I actually cried myself to sleep," I said.
Fortunately, it seems that my reincarnation tricks came to reality, as the following message appeared:
[ Linking...]
[Completed.]
[Welcome to the interdimensional assignment system!]
[With this system, the host will be able to climb to the top of powers of any world and thus become the ultimate god he deserves to be!]
[But before starting, the system asks for permission to suppress some feelings the host possesses that will hinder his quest for the pinnacle of power.]
[Do you agree?]
Sacrifice some feelings... To get the option to become a god? Fuck, even an idiot would know which decision to choose.
"Do it, but don't take away the feeling of pleasure and its derivatives," I told the system, as it's important to feel the pleasure of being strong and all that comes with it.
[No problem, host. Only the feelings that will hinder your quest for power will be suppressed.]
[Suppressing...]
[Completed.]
Looking at those messages, I didn't feel a big difference, well, I did feel something different because my sadness disappeared, but I guess it was because the system linked.
[The system is starting up!]
[...]
[...]
[Congrats!!! As the 1,000,000,000,000th host in the system, you have been given the following perks to celebrate:]
[Random Divine Path (unique), Random Skill Full Upgrade (Divine Path) x1, Skill Selector Grade (S)].
"I don't know what that is, but it sounds cool."
"System, tell me what the Divine Path means."
[The divine path is a permanent event that all hosts are entitled to participate in once they have completed certain assignments. Fortunately, as a host, you have earned the right to start this event from the beginning thanks to the celebration.
The divine path consists of randomly drawing a concept and a virtue, for example: the god of fire and purification (different concepts and virtues may appear, even unrelated).
Once the concept and virtue are obtained, you will be granted various skills related to both (concept and virtue), and you will have to develop your divinity through special event quests.]
When I heard this, I imagined myself in a white robe throwing lightning bolts from a cloud, or holding a sword and effortlessly chopping down a giant mountain.
"That would be cool..." I must admit that my imagination flew all the way to Jupiter and even beyond.
[The system has noticed the host's enthusiasm! Do you want to get your path right now?]
"Come on, come on, show me my future," I said enthusiastically.
As I said this, a kind of machine appeared before me..... Gacha? with little colored balls indicating its rarity.
[The laws of reality liked the gacha game and decided to implement it in all the new generation systems. So congratulations on being one of the first to try this fascinating game!]
I didn't think much of it and hit the 'pull' button.
A rather curious animation popped up and when my little colored ball came out, my mighty one was revealed....
[Congratulations on obtaining the divine path of the 'God of lust and fertility']!
"..."
I won't deny that I was a bit disappointed with the result, as I was expecting to be the god of thunder or at least the god of water. But god of lust? Doesn't sound very powerful, does it?
"Well, at least I didn't get the god of plague or something similar," I mused.
The more I reflected on the many foul concepts I might have been touched by, the more appealing the god of lust seemed to be.
[The skills acquired from obtaining this path will be shown below!]
[Skills:
Lustful Instinct: When you have intimate encounters with a female, your body will instinctively move in search of maximum pleasure.
(Note*: Lustful Instinct works even if you are unconscious, as long as it detects pheromones secreted by a female in heat).
Pleasure Reward Nvl 1: There is a small chance of obtaining affinities, talents, or superpowers from a female you have sexually satisfied (the probability depends on the method used). You can also increase the level of things obtained by repeating the process with the same female.
(Note*: All skills obtained are level 1 without exception).
Ultimate Male (unique): All females, regardless of their breed, will feel good in your company and their favorability towards you will constantly increase.
(Note*: The female must have a neutral impression of you, i.e., there must be no conflict between you. Also, the female must have a conscience, i.e., no dungeon monsters or other similar beings will be attracted. Attracted females will depend on the subconsciousness of the host).
Touch of Eros Nvl 1:
Activation: use mana or vitality (if no energy resources are available) to make any part of your body feel good to the chosen person. If used for a prolonged period, the chosen person may climax (the time needed to climax depends on the chosen body part).
Passive: Physical contact with any woman will make her feel good. The more contact you have with them, the more lustful she will be towards you.
(Note*: Constant contact can lead to dependence and, in very prolonged cases, addiction. Caution is advised).
Ultimate Offspring (MAX): You can control your fertility. If activated, there will be a 100% chance of spawning offspring with any female you mate with (regardless of race or condition). In addition, you can choose the appearance of the offspring (depending on your genes or those of the female) and the skills or talents inherited from you (no divine path skills can be chosen).
If it is disabled, you will have no chance to sire, no matter how hard you try.
(Note*: If this ability is activated, but the host does not choose among the options presented, the appearance will be determined by nature. As for skills, the descendant will inherit all the host's skills, but will not be able to choose skills from the divine path).].
"There are no offensive skills, but they can be obtained and there is also a lot of versatility in doing so," I thought carefully. This path, despite its name, has a lot of potential, and if approached properly, you could become a very powerful being.
(But, truth be told, it sounds more like the "Divine Gigolo" than the god of lust).
"My future basically depends on whom I sleep with..."
"Give me the full upgrade."
It is important to know which of these skills I will maximize, as I will play my future with it.
[Opening...]
[Congratulations on maximizing the skill: Reward of Pleasure!]
[Pleasure Reward (MAX): You have a guaranteed chance of obtaining an affinity, talent, or superpower from a female you have sexually satisfied.
You have a 50% chance of obtaining another affinity, talent, or superpower during the next session, and you can increase the level of things obtained by repeating the process with the same female.
(Note*: All skills obtained are level 1 without exception)].
"Good!", I made a small victory gesture when the skill that was maximized was shown.
With this skill, it will be much easier for me to obtain useful skills quickly.
"Now open the selector."
[Select a skill (S):...]
When I opened the selector, I saw a lot of very strong and useful skills, like:
[Thunder Lord (S): Use mana or an energy resource to control all kinds of electrical discharges.]
Another one I saw was:
[Water Lord (S): Uses mana or an energy resource to control all types of water-derived liquids.]
Sounds cool, doesn't it? In this society, these skills could be considered S-class seeds and any government would invest in you, but for me, they might not be the best choice.
This is quite simple, as the system at no point has mentioned anything about increasing base stats, such as mana, stamina, agility, or strength.
If you think about it, I could acquire lower versions of these skills and then improve them with the help of path skills. So what I really need is a way to increase my normal stats, which is why I chose this one.
[Pleasant Medicine (S):
Passive Lifesaver (Unique): When you have sex, you will remove all status effects you or your partner have, as well as heal it (depending on the wound and healing rate). If the wound cannot be healed, you will be granted the Mercy status.
Passive Grace: If your partner has no wounds or statuses to remove, you will get a random point of your partner's strongest stat (depending on the number of stats the partner has and the number you can get).
Active: By activating this ability, you will be able to heal yourself from any damage (it will be automatically activated if lethal damage is detected) and the Euphoria status will be granted.
Mercy: Use ether or any type of energy resource from the body to prevent death for 3 days (only for the couple).
Euphoria: Increases all stats by 50%.
Cooldown: 4 days (can be shortened by having relations)].
With this skill, I can accumulate stat points, and although it is not very strong or flashy, except for Lifeguard, it will be of great help in the future.
