Owing Miyuki a spanking session, Ben walked to his dorm. He may have had many faults, but Lannisters always paid their debts…and to be honest, if she was thick enough, Ben didn't find it morally unacceptable to take a second look at a step-sister…
He wasn't so great he would dare judge absolute right and wrong in matters of love. That was the job of the thickness qualifier…
…
Strolling through the streets, Ben ignored the sounds of passing pedestrians and singing birds as he thought about Olivia. In truth, he wanted to get her number because she was s.e.xy as hell, but it wasn't the time. It would be inappropriate. She was under the influence of a bad loss, and he was the winner who defeated her. If he asked her out then, it would've been taking advantage of her, and Ben wasn't that kind of evil guy. He needed to show his noble side, because Miyuki was there…
…
If he'd hit on Olivia at that time, then instead of asking to hang out now, Miyuki might be giving him the ninja treatment…
Regardless, Ben's instincts told him that his performance hooked Olivia, and she'd come to him at the right moment. After all, he dipped her deep into the sauce…
He was certain Olivia's mind-hamster was still spinning its wheel, trying to figure out how he won. In reality, it was much simpler than what she imagined, not having required any significant sausage play…
Of course, one of them did make a few jokes asking if she could see it…but Ben didn't laugh…
…
What happened was he found the emails of the girls from the class website. He then invited them for lunch, made them laugh, and was nice to them, showering them with compliments using his game and motivational speaking. He wasn't interested in any of them so Ben never tripped himself up. In addition, due to their particular circ.u.mstances, the amount of convincing he needed to do wasn't much. Their group's middle position couldn't improve or worsen within one round because of points differences. Since they didn't have anything to lose, it wasn't too difficult to motivate them to sink Olivia's plan.
From the beginning, Olivia chose Lawrence to cooperate because of his enmity with Ben. In the case of the group of girls, Ben also chose them for a reason—because they were chubby…
…
Of course, it wasn't only that. There was another factor on Ben's side, something Beluga told him a while back. It was also why Olivia preferred collaborating with Lawrence instead of other women.
Beluga said that in general, women held an instinctual resentment toward all other females around their age, in particular attractive ones. The reason was simple, women were much more socially aware than men, and realized they were in competition for males. When Ben mentioned to the girls his plan to counter Olivia, he noticed a spark in their eyes when they thought of helping to bring the beauty down…
He shook his head. 'Beware those who smile but hide a dagger in their v.a.g.i.n.as…'
In any case, it worked out well for him. He even gained unexpected boosts, acquiring achievements for his scholarly accomplishments.
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Pork Party(repeatable, trash) – Go on a date with a woman whose looks are a 4 or below]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points – 100]
Ben frowned. He'd almost forgotten there was a trash tier and it was his first time losing points, but Ben didn't mind since it helped him win the competition. One thing did bother him though. 'Did you really need to make it repeatable? Like I'm going to make that a habit?'
…
Ben held himself to certain standards now. He would never succ.u.mb to such thirst, as long as he didn't have a dry spell…
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Mass Emasculator(rare) – Make numerous males in your vicinity accept your alpha status]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 1000]
This was a surprise. He assumed it was from when he refined half the students into ash using his alchemy furnace of insult-comedy…
Regardless, a bonus of 1000 points was always welcome.
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Fear and Choding in Las Vegas(common) – Make yourself a monstrous lunatic to one woman]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 100]
'I did what now?'
After asking the system, Ben learned monstrous lunatic was the lowest comfort level. He found it weird that he received this achievement though, since to open the comfort sub-system with a woman, attraction needed to be high enough first. That meant in his class, there was some girl who was attracted, but also held deep fear of him. 'This must be the source of why girls l.u.s.t after vampires, demons, and rappers…'
Ben shrugged. 'If I had to choose between being loved or being feared, apparently…I can choose both!' Ben was a real C.o.c.kiavelli…
[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Titled Alpha(rare) – Earn a custom title from your deeds(Poison Dragon)]
[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 1000]
Ben gasped, before hurrying to open the details of the title.
[Poison Dragon(fine): Your verbal insults carry a little bonus soul damage in proportion to each insult's effectiveness on the target]
…
'Oh my Overgod…' This was a monumental stepping stone! Ben was halfway to being a complete fighter! He possessed both a soul attack and a signature physical attack—the c*ckpunch…
'If I could get my hands on some armor and a Soul Protecting Sovereign Artifact, I would fear no enemy! I could spray my Sovereign's Might onto any woman I wanted!'
Looking at his titles, Ben knew he could have only one active at a time. 'Do I want to punch c*cks or do I want to poison souls? For some, it might be a tough decision…but not for Ben!'
He swapped out the C*ckpuncher title for Poison Dragon, becoming a blazing human wrecking ball of taunts and slander…
As his tongued surged with metaphorical power, Ben made a practice swing.
'One burn to rule them all, One burn to chide them,
One burn to school them all, find their women, and ride them…'
…
He burst out the heat in the Elvish script of Tongue-War…
With a new weapon, young hero Ben entered his dormitory with grand dreams for the future. 'I'm going to f*ck the Shire out of Miyuki…'
…
Soon, he was in his dorm room, waiting for her call that she'd arrived and he should come over, which came a few minutes later. After receiving the call, knowing it would be a long exhausting s.e.xpedition, Ben adjusted his groin inventory for maximum comfort… With his ranger and the two dwarves ready, he'd gathered the fellowship of the ding…
…
From there, he began his hero's journey to Mount Poon…
