Chapter 2 - 'Hm... That sounds kinda gross, but kinda hot at the same time.'

[Ding~!]

[Congratulations! You have received a mental database of all franchises from your previous world including light novels, anime, manga, tv, and games!]

[Congratulations! You have received Talent: Goddess of Lust's Blessing (System Original)!]

[Congratulations! You have received Talent: Overflow-class Mana Core (System Original)!]

[Congratulations! You have received Ability: Harem Frequency: ON AIR (Inspired by literally every Inner Voice System novel out there)!]

As soon as David got those four notifications, his body heated up like crazy and he felt a rush of information flood into his mind.

"Ugh...!"

He fell back to his bed and sat there while clutching his chest and head.

A warm sensation spread throughout his entire body, allowing him to feel a new type of energy in every cell, muscle, tissue, blood vessel, bone, etc.

Shortly after the warm sensation died down, he felt his little brother heat up and start growing until it was cold once again.

While he was big enough before he received 'Goddess of Lust's Blessing', now he's even bigger, measuring a total of 11 inches in length and 6.5 inches in girth, and that's just when it's soft.

'What the hell did you just give me?'

[Would you like my description or the official description?]

'Just give me yours...'

[Goddess of Lust's Blessing makes your penis larger, gives you infinite stamina in bed, allows you to shoot an endless amount of sperm, and grants an aura that can make certain women horny. You can also choose to enable or disable the ability to impregnate women. No need for contraceptives!]

[Overflow-class Mana Core gives you a near-infinite mana capacity. Meaning, you can now shoot off spells like crazy. This talent is pretty great, but you're still a weakling.]

[Harem Frequency: ON AIR allows the heroines and some female supporting characters of different franchises to hear your inner voice. Depending on what you say with your inner voice while the ability is activated, you can earn Chaos Points. You can also choose to add other women that are not initially included if you want as well as block/unblock certain women from listening.]

[By the way, Chaos Points can be used in the System Shop.]

[Ah, that's right. I'll tell you a bit about quests now as well.]

[Throughout your life, I will be offering you quests. These vary, but the most fun will be the Dimensional Quests which will also account for 90% of your quests. Dimensional Quests will involve you going to another world and put you into a random franchise. You will have objectives you must fulfill and some optional ones as well.]

[When going on Dimensional Quests, time will stop in your world so you don't have to worry about missing anything important or leaving your women alone here.]

[The rewards for quests are quite nice if I do say so myself. You can earn things from different franchises such as powers, items, even subordinates. I'm excited to see what you'll get! You'll get a reward once you begin the quest and you'll get a reward once you finish it. Cool, right?]

'... Okay, that was a lot to take in, but yeah, sounds cool. So, what am I supposed to do right now?'

[Would you like a starter quest to get a feel for how it is?]

'Whatever, why not.'

[Hmph, lose the grumpy attitude, mister. This is your universe now, get arrogant! Get cocky! Get women! Be confident and happy, okay? You can do whatever you want, you can have a good life and a good family now...]

'... I'll try. Since you know my past, you should know I don't trust people. Still, I'll take your word for it and work on it... Anyway, give me the starter quest.'

[Ding~!]

[New Quest: Tuning In to Love FM]

[Description: The airwaves are open and your heart's the signal tower. It's time to test your latest power and see if your thoughts really can reach the ones who matter!]

[Objective: Use Harem Frequency: ON AIR to broadcast your inner voice.]

[Reward: Ability: Sweet Body (System Original)]

'... Did you come up with that quest description?'

[Yes! It's catchy, right?]

'Oh... Sure, very catchy.'

[Hey, what's with that pause?! It sounded good to me!]

'Right, right. So, what should I talk about?'

[Hmm, whatever you want I guess? Brag about how you're the creator of the universe or about how the world will change in a year or something. Just have fun with it and I'm sure you'll catch the interest of plenty of women out there.]

David thought for a couple minutes about what to say before finally just letting loose.

⟪ 15 years in this world and I finally get a clue about it. This is Cosma, the universe that I created in a web novel and somehow, when I died, I got reborn here as a baby. After staying in an orphanage for 15 years, I now get told that I have until next year before the world changes and I'm supposed to get strong enough to rule over it all... ⟫ 

⟪ I don't even remember the plot or characters of my story, but I know mana will change the world next year and people will get stupidly strong because of it, not to mention the planet increasing in size rapidly and monsters, fantasy races, and dungeons suddenly appearing. ⟫

⟪ I can't remember any of my novel because I was drunk all the time, but it'll be interesting to see what happens. I'm curious about who the main character of my novel was though... ⟫

⟪ There also seems to be a supernatural side to the world as well due to me adding various franchises from manga, anime, and games to the story. I don't know what the hell I was thinking, but it'll be interesting to see who's here. Apparently, I added too many franchises and it's just a jumbled mess. ⟫

⟪ Based on fanfics in my past life, maybe the Devil, Rias Gremory, from High School DxD would be here? Or even the Shinigami, Rangiku Matsumoto, from Bleach? I might've already encountered some characters already, but since I've been isolating myself from people for 15 years, I wouldn't even know. Still, I hope things start to change for the better. ⟫

⟪ Now that I know a bit more about the world, I should do some research about what companies exist and what don't, then I can just release some media and make some money like typical isekai protagonists. ⟫

⟪ Tomorrow, I need to move my plan ahead and leave the orphanage. I'm fine living on the streets for a bit, but I can't stay here for much longer. I'm sure the people here are tired of taking care of me despite me being quiet, but Hoshinoumi Academy has dorms so maybe I'll try to live there... Ugh, I'll have to show what I look like to people now as well. ⟫

⟪ Oh well... Now then, to get stronger, I'm supposed to have a harem. Don't know how I can do that when I've been backstabbed by literally everyone in my previous life, but maybe things will be different in this world. I'm at least handsome enough to attract attention, though I probably wouldn't be able to trust anyone anytime soon. ⟫

⟪ It's nice that I was born in Japan this time though, America was awful... Still, I died in 2025 so I've got about 10 years of knowledge about certain events in the world thanks to most of my past life memories becoming clear. Though, whether they'll happen or not is up for debate. ⟫

⟪ Haaa... Okay, this inner monologue has gone on long enough, I should hurry up and start training. I'm already 20 minutes behind schedule... ⟫

'... That good enough?'

[Congratulations! You have earned 7,500 Chaos Points!]

[Ah, that startled me... Yes, that was excellent. Also, from now on, I will mute the notifications that inform you of earning Chaos Points since you'll be slowly earning those points as time goes on and there would be constant notifications.]

'Understood. Also, how is the point earnings calculated exactly?'

[Don't sweat the small stuff, just focus on earning when you can. Also, you earned more than usual because it was your first time using Harem Frequency: ON AIR, so those that heard it were either surprised, scared, intrigued, nonchalant, or a mixture of emotions.] 

[The more you use it in the future, the less points you'll earn as it'll mostly numb the girls who hear it, though if you say something that moves their emotions, you'll still earn a bit more.]

'Got it... Can I get the reward now?'

[Ding~!]

[Quest Complete!]

[Congratulations! You have received Ability: Sweet Body (System Original)!]

[Ability: Sweet Body]

[Description: You ever wish your kisses tasted like strawberry shortcake? Or your sweat reminded someone of fizzy cotton candy? No? Well, too late, because now you're basically dessert. To anyone who gets a taste--be it a kiss, a lick, a bite, or anything more--you'll taste like their absolute favorite sweet. Whether it's fruity, creamy, or candy-coated, you'll hit the spot. And yep, that includes your fluids. Bonus: you'll smell like it too.]

[Effect: Your body and bodily fluids automatically take on the favorite sweet flavor and scent of whoever is interacting with you physically. Works instantly and is personalized per person. Applies to skin, saliva, sweat, and everything else that could get tasted.]

'Hm... That sounds kinda gross, but kinda hot at the same time.'

[Indeed! I can just imagine the fun you could have with this!]

'You seem to be very excited about this.'

[Yes! You're well on your way to getting the ladies!]

'Right... Ah, I almost forgot, what's in the System Shop?'

[Fufun~, I'm glad you asked. Take a look!]

--[System Shop]--

-[Abilities]-

-[Talents]-

-[Classes]-

-[Weapons]-

-[Items]-

-[Lottery]-

'I can understand the first two, but can you go over the last four for me, please?'

[Sure!]

[Classes are used in various franchises to categorize people's ability sets. In your original novel, they didn't exist on Earth, but you can directly buy them from other franchises' characters and get their powers.]

[Weapons are exactly that. They're famous weapons from various franchises, though they're altered a little bit to make them more efficient and effective. For example, if you bought a weapon that the wielder in the original works would need to sacrifice some life force to wield, you'd only have to use your mana or some other internal energy source to wield it at a much lower cost.]

[Items are other various items not included in the previous categories such as enchanted artifacts or clothes from various franchises. Consumables that give you special powers or upgrades are also included, such as Devil Fruits (One Piece), Peaches (Chained Soldier), Fruits of Evolution (The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made), and Chaos Seeds (System Original).]

[In the Items section, you can also buy simple things like foods or clothes that don't have any effect and could be bought normally from stores. The price is cheaper than anything else, but they still require Chaos Points, thus I recommend using it as a last resort if you don't have money to buy them.]

[The Lottery includes a daily gacha you can play and you'll get something for free from the shop depending on the rarity! Or, you might just get some food, drinks, or a little bit of pocket money, but... I mean, it's still pretty cool. Some system rewards will include lottery draws that guarantee a certain rarity as well.]

'Huh, that's actually pretty sweet. Is there anything I can buy with my current points?'

[Not anything useful. You're broke right now. Even though you earned 7,500 points, the cheapest things that would be slightly useful that you could get are around 60,000 and those are just some of the cheap weapons or items. As for classes, talents, or abilities? Those are quite a bit more expensive so you'd best save up. On the bright side, the shop will have sales at random times so you'll be able to buy things at a discounted price!]

'Random times? You don't control it?'

[Nope! The system is created and powered by the power of chaos so quite a lot of functions are totally random while I'm just a consciousness attached to Chaos! Don't think about it too much, just know I don't have control over most of the system.]

'Hmm, got it... Can I at least spin the lottery? I know I've been getting abilities left and right today, but... I should still get a shot at the lottery, right?' 

[Indeed. Honestly, you should've gotten your abilities earlier, but I had to stay dormant for much longer than originally planned. So yep, you can spin that lottery!]

'Sweet, let's do it.'

A prize wheel appeared in front of David with blinking lights circling around it in a clockwise pattern. The wheel had multiple pie piece segments with different colors that differentiate the rarity.

From order of worst to best is N (grey), R (blue), SR (purple), SSR (red), SSR+ (silver), UR (gold), and EX (rainbow), as shown by the chart to the side of the wheel.

Taking the cue, David grabbed the side of the wheel and yanked it down.

Surprisingly, he was able to feel the wheel and his action of spinning it had an effect.

'Can anyone else see the wheel?'

[Nope, just you! It doesn't really exist, it just gives you the feeling of being there so you can have fun spinning it!]

'Got it.'

The wheel kept spinning while lights were lighting up all around the wheel, making it look spectacular if not a little gaudy.

Finally, the wheel slowed down before stopping right on a red segment.

David waited in anticipation until the wheel faded out, revealing only the segment he landed on.

The segment rotated slowly and what was shown was a pixelized icon of a buff man in an apron holding a swaddled baby.

[Congratulations! You have received Talent: Perfect Househusband (System Original)!]

'... Why is that an SSR?'

[Would you like to see the official information on the new talent you acquired?]

'Yeah, I suppose so...'

[Talent: Perfect Househusband]

[Description: Congratulations! You've unlocked the secret final form of the domestic skill tree: the Househusband Supreme. You can cook like a five-star chef, clean like a Roomba possessed by a demon, and sew like your life depends on that perfect stitch. From soothing crying babies to picking the perfect lipstick shade for your wives, you're not just helpful, you're indispensable. Housewives want to clone you. Husbands want to be you. Your apron game? God-tier.]

[Effect: Massively enhances all domestic and supportive abilities. Cooking, cleaning, sewing, makeup, child-rearing, skincare, and fashion advice are all executed with flawless instinct and style. Strong passive aura that boosts comfort and intimacy in any shared living space. Women around you bond faster. Children around you behave better. You're the dream partner everyone suddenly wants to keep forever.]

As David was going over the description of his new talent, he suddenly felt a familiar rush of information in his head, giving him all of the knowledge and experience promised to him.

Despite never having sewn or applied make-up before, he could now do so better than anyone else.

'Whoa... This is totally cheating. Doesn't this make me, well, a perfect husband?'

[It does indeed. Not only are you now proficient in all of those things listed, you're also more likely to attract women's interest.]

'Huh... Thanks, this is actually a pretty good talent, whether I'm in a relationship or not.'

[Ohoho~, of course, David. You actually got pretty lucky to pull an SSR on your first spin. Anyway, that'll be all the goodies I'm giving you today. Keep earning those Chaos Points!]

'Alright, sounds good. I'm going to go train now.'

[You got it! I'll just be watching from here!]

David spent the rest of the day working out, studying, and trying to change his mentality to that of the strong and charming. With his system constantly telling him that he needs to be confident, David reluctantly made that his goal.

Surprisingly, it only took him a day of constant playful bickering with his system to actually start feeling better about himself. Little did he know, due to the effects of the Mental Reboot, he could very easily guide his personality to change and telling himself to be more confident was a piece of cake.

Now, he's not an emotionless robot that tries to look cool by acting cold!
