Dirt, sweat, and mold mix together to create a strong, rotten smell.
Finaly Hades wakes up.
This strong smell causes Hades to vomit to the point where his eyes turn red, and he begins to cough repeatedly, as he tries to get up..
As he stood up, part of the sheet stuck to his back, and the boy had to peel it off. This caused a large piece of dead, brown skin to flake off his back, arms, and the back of his thighs.
The rotten smell in the room was so strong that the boy had to open one of the windows to ventilate the room a little and allow air to circulate.
It was obvious that something had happened to boy, while he slept.
Hades examined his body immediately after waking up, observing the thin black layer that covered most of it.
It was as if his body was shedding its skin like a reptile, and this chocolate-black layer was beginning to peel away, revealing white, soft skin.
The skin was so delicate that rubbing, touching, or pinching it would form a red stain all over the area. But at the same time, this skin was addictive in its softness.
After playing with its skin, for several minutes, Hades went straight to the mirror to look at himself, and was greatly surprised.
His face was the same, but with finer features, better-defined eyebrows and nose, fuller, pink lips with a more pronounced chin; even his blue eyes were no longer opaque, but a lighter blue like a sky.
In his own words, he's a more pleasing boy.
Looking down a little, I notice that his shoulders have lifted and his back has lost that sway, becoming straighter. This improved posture led to a higher chest.
Hades still looked the same: a slim, slender body.
The boy had lost that bland, brown noodle look... Now he had simply become a white, fluid noodle.
The boy was certain that if he increased his body mass by 20 or 30 kilos and with the right training, he would transform from a pleasant young man into a rather handsome man, not to mention a celebrity.
Hades took advantage of the opportunity to look at his face for several more minutes, pacing in front of the mirror. But the strong, nauseating smell coming from his bed bothered him again, making his nose wrinkle, causing him to cough and risk of vomiting.
The young man quickly ran to the bed, grabbed the sheets and pillows stained with the strange mixture, to form a large ball of fabric.
Seeing that he needed a bag for the sheets, Hades turned around. The boy was ready to go get what he needed, but before leaving, he looked at the clock... 8:10 a.m.
Before leaving room, thought and remembered that his sisters had already left for school and his mother had left for work..
In theory, the house was practically empty.
For the first time, Hades felt more confident going down to the kitchen in just his underwear and ran out into the hallway.
Without looking around, the boy ran down the stairs, through the living room, and into the kitchen.
Hades wanted to spend as little time as possible in his underwear in the home, and when he got to the kitchen, he went straight to the pantry to look for the bag, but found nothing..
Having no luck, he went to the kitchen cabinets and finally to the cupboard. With a sigh of disappointment, Hades turned around to return to his bedroom.
The search lasted 10 minutes.
Young Hades had barely taken a few steps and, before leaving the kitchen, he found his mother standing in front of him, coming down from the second floor.
Mrs. Ruth was wearing a formal suit and carrying a folder.
When the two stood face to face, it was impossible to ignore each other's presence, and when they made eye contact, they were both surprised.
Mrs. Ruth raised an eyebrow at Hades appearance and, for the first time, smiled. It wasn't a mocking or bland smile, but a soft and gentle smile.
Sensing no hostility from his mother, young Hades also smiles sweetly, but seeing that his mother's eyes begin to wander aimlessly, the boy immediately greets her to distract her. —"How are you?"—
Hades voice is deep and masculine; it was a totally different voice from the gruff one that had always characterized him..
Both of their faces are surprised by such a masculine voice, and Mrs. Ruth immediately lets him know. —" I think you're about to catch a cold. "— She glancing at his appearance.
—"Sorry, I thought you weren't home and came down to get a big bag."— Young Hades comments, apologizing for his scant clothing.
Mrs. Ruth returns that kind smile and shows him the folder she's holding. —"I forgot these documents. Just consider it an accident."— Seconds later, the woman raises her hand, points to the sink, and adds. —"The bigger bags are under the sink." —
The moment Ruth pointed to the sink, Young Hades turned to look around. The most striking thing was the pile of dirty dishes, which made Ruth sigh and comment quietly. —"I'll wash those dishes in the afternoon."—
The comments made Hades gaze shift from the sink to Ruth a couple of times, and he spontaneously said. —"Leave them to me."—
This simple comment widened Ruth's smile, almost imperceptible to the naked eye. The woman shook her head a couple of times, but before Ruth could say anything, Hades shook his head slightly and, with a friendly smile, continued. —"It's getting late."— Gesturing to Ruth's watch.
Ruth's reaction was like waking from a spell, so attentive she was to the conversation and looking at her watch. —"Oh my God, it's so late.!"— She commented, frightened, and walked quickly toward the front door.
—"Wish me luck.!"— Ruth comments before leaving the house, and Hades shouts from where he's standing. —"Good luck."— Mrs. Ruth replied, raising her hand without looking back before closing the door.
Seconds after closing the door, the sound of a car was heard, causing Hades to breathe a sigh of relief, as his hands were sweaty. It was the first conversation with his mother in over four months without yelling or insults...
Young Hades had a feeling the system had something to do with his mother's change of attitude... ( if this happened to his mother, it could happen to his sisters too. ) The boy thought
Putting that aside, he went to the sink, opened the cabinet, and took out the trash bag.
He ran back to the bedroom as quickly as he could to check his phone, and when he checked the sistem app, he found something surprising...
A message appeared on the screen:
[Cleaning completed, all your stats have been restored to 10.]
Deleting that message, he immediately jumped to another message.
[ 30% popularity on all Woman. ]
That message made Hades frown a little, but remembering his mother's kind attitude, he realized that popularity equals friendship.
This is the main reason why his mother was kind, but what made Hades decide was the following message:
[ *washing dishes* +5 popularity on Ruth. +2 GC ]
Followed by an image of Ruth [....] ←image
The only data in the image is +30 popularity .
On the home screen, Hades had access to the different sections of the system app.
The first section contains the character's data or Stats.

After checking, young Hades wasn't surprised, so he continued reading the next sections of the system app...
