The new system update has finally arrived!
I feel like a gamer who has spent countless hours scouring every site for information about the release of a game. At least mine showed up, unlike GTA 6! Anyway, this update is different from others.
Finally, there's an improved gacha system. I can now fuse 10 [Gacha Tickets] to create a [Premium Gacha Ticket], which doesn't contain low-quality items and has a higher chance of yielding better ones. These [Premium Gacha Tickets] also come with an interesting feature—probably a result of a little obsession with thematic accuracy. A new feature that for every setting I create, I can 'attune' one of these tickets to that universe.
It's important to note that this doesn't mean I will pull something directly from the gacha pool of that universe; it simply narrows down the possible items to those that are thematically similar. For example, let's say I hypothetically create a setting like Inazuma Eleven. If I attune a ticket to it, I can obtain skills such as hissatsu techniques, as well as other features like a strange movement technique or a leg empowerment skill from a completely different universe. Some of those hissatsu techniques have elemental themes, so I could even gain elemental spells and skills.
There's also a minor update related to my [Setting Creation] unique skill. Similar to my [Dungeon Creation] ability, which allows me to link to certain dungeons, I can now link some settings directly to me, though it's currently limited to just one.
It wasn't difficult to decide which setting I wanted to choose, so I immediately selected the [White Hallway] since it's the one I use to create others. Now that I think about it, there's a chance this update resulted from the [Loophole Finder] skill, which works like a special instinct, quietly guiding me to discover such things. I'm not entirely sure, though, as I don't fully understand the hidden workings of my Essence.
Right now, I'm in the [White Hallway], contemplating which setting I want to pull from. Given that there's a first-time bonus—just like with my first ticket—I'm debating whether to use it now or wait. After all, while I have twenty different settings to choose from, they are all ordinary without superpowers or fantasy elements.
The smart choice would be to wait until my birthday, level up further, and create settings that include those powers. But I can't resist the temptation.
Damn gacha... I believe I'm generally patient; after all, I spent five years studying to create a company that would allow me to live comfortably thanks to my powers. However, temptation is something I struggle with.
I could have stopped Marin's romantic advances and remained friends, avoiding complications. Yes, I had that option. But she's a beautiful girl, and I'm excited to explore and deepen our connection together. I didn't hold back, and now I have an additional partner in bed.
*Exhale*
"Well, I know myself, and there's no way I would resist. Now, the question is, which portal do I choose? Haa, I already know the answer. It was never a doubt. I'll go with Mira's setting."
Why Mira's? I could easily say it's because she was by far the sexiest woman I've slept with, and that wouldn't be false. But it just isn't the complete truth.
Among all the women I've had physical relationships with, Mira was the only one who was serious. The others? They were purely physical encounters that arose from mutual desires to scratch an itch, and we continued like that.
It's not that there was a lack of emotional connection; there was. In fact, some were even deeper than my connection with Mira. It's just that I was drawn to her, as she was drawn to me. Maybe it's love, or perhaps it's fate, but I like her more than I do the others.
She embodies my ideal woman: sexy, mature, strong-willed, and adventurous in bed. If we had encountered each other in a past life, I think I would have proposed to her, despite the differences in our ages and cultures.
Now, things are different. I have all this power and potential, and I genuinely enjoy being adventurous and exploring different beautiful women. I like our current standing. We are in a secret relationship, both aware that disclosing it would cause drama—there's no way I could tell anyone I'm involved with a woman older than my own mother, and she would face difficulties explaining to her children that she's dating a man younger than they are.
To clarify, we aren't ashamed of our relationship, and we are happy together. I understand her struggles, from her husband's death to her challenges in balancing family and work. She is somewhat aware of my powers and my other relationships.
She was a bit jealous at first, but after a few encounters, she decided to let me be myself and continued with the other relationships without any issues. The fact that she never managed to completely satisfy me—often finding herself exhausted while I was perfectly fine after a cold shower—made her stop questioning why I didn't feel fulfilled with her alone.
At that time, my [Sexual Stamina] was at level 30. Now, it has prestiged and become [Endless Sexual Stamina] at level 20.
Well, no time to waste! I want to see the result of my draw. I selected [Thematic Roll] from my menu and chose the portal in front of me.
This time, a metal crate dropped from the sky—reminiscent of the rolling screen from Honkai Impact 3rd. The crate began to open, and my vision was blinded by a golden light. When it cleared, I saw a… golden token?

Congratulations!
You've obtained: Skill Evolution Token (Masterpiece)
//
From the name, it seems like a token that upgrades skills like in the Hell Difficulty Tutorial, though this one appears to be more powerful. The golden token rested in my hand, engraved with the words "Break the Limit," which immediately captured my attention.
I then went to the other screen that appeared.
//
Skill Evolution Token (Masterpiece)
A Skill Token linked to the world of 'Masterpiece.' It will create an incredibly improved and evolved skill from the one it selects.
Selection is based on skills with some relation to said world.
//
"Hahaha, it's so much cooler to see a physical item than just a system window appearing!"
I've already mentioned how much I enjoy my Essence. It clearly has style!
After flipping the token around like a coin, I used it.
//
Selected skill: [Sex Expert]
You obtained the skill: [Ruiner Lv. 1]
//
A new skill tree titled [Special] has been made, which contains only one skill: [Ruiner].
Based on the name and what the skill evolved from, I could imagine its effects, but when I read it, I just laughed.
"I don't know if it's fate or something else, but this is telling me that this is the right path and that I need to be even more adventurous. I need to test it, and since I have free time and I'm right here, why not visit Mira? I'm sure we'll both end up happy!"
I sent her a message as I entered the portal. This is going to be a great evening.

You know exactly how to push your lover's buttons. Moreover, when you make someone orgasm, the next one will be better. Orgasm with others and masturbation will slowly become weaker until there's no way to reach one.
