The system had only given Dante a C Rank in his firearm proficiency, and Dante knew for a fact that this was only an average level Rank! It might even be a low-level Rank! Dante immediately asked the system what the highest firearm rank in the world was, and the system replied:
[The highest firearm rank the system has ever encountered is an SSS Firearm Rank held by a hitman in Russia known as the Phantom.]
Dante clicked his tongue in irritation before he finally decided not to argue about it. Dante had never heard about any of the hitmen or gang in Russia, so there was no way he could compare skills to see if he was better or not. Besides, the system was only trying to make Dante know that he was a big fish in a very small pond. The city of stockham was large, but that doesn't mean that the people here were the most dangerous in the world. There was always someone better out there.
Dante asked another question.
"So what about this mission thing? How does it work?"
[Would the user like to experience a mission demonstration? Yes/No?]
Dante chose yes, and the system immediately brought up a new tab.
——
New Mission (Sample): Steal a Kiss
In order to explain the concept of missions, the system has created an easy and immediately executable exercise for the user to accomplish. To complete this mission, the user must receive a kiss from a woman within the next five minutes.
Rewards:
+0.5 Charisma

"Oh, so that's how it is."
Dante was able to quickly understand what the system was trying to explain when he saw the tab structure. So he would be getting these missions from the system, and whenever he passed one successfully, he would get a reward. That wasn't bad. DAnte thought there would be some sort of penalty or a disadvantage added into the mission since he had seen things like that when he read comics as a kid, but there was nothing like that here. Does that mean Dante could ignore the missions if he wanted?
[Yes, the user can freely choose to refuse any mission he does not want to complete. But the system advises against this since the system will only bring forward missions that it believes will be beneficial to the user's growth. Ignoring a mission will greatly slow the user's progress.]
Dante hummed as he read through the system's message. It made sense, and Dante didn't see anything wrong with what the system was asking. Since the mission was going to make him stronger, Dante would most likely not ignore any of them. But if there was anything Dante didn't want to do, he would just not do it. Dante turned back to the new mission and read through it again. To pass the mission, Dante had to get a kiss from someone, and he didn't even need to think long before he called out.
"Risa."
Dante's voice traveled out of his room, and it only took about five seconds before Dante heard a calm knock against his bedroom door. Risa gently opened the door and let herself in after knocking, and Dante couldn't help but appreciate the beauty of the woman. Risa was still wearing her maid outfit, but she had taken off her gloves to expose her delicate hands. The moonlight from the window highlighted her figure in an ethereal way and made her bright blue eyes glitter like gems. There was no denying that this was one of the most beautiful women Dante had ever laid eyes on!

Dante ignored the new tab that opened beside him with calm ease as his eyes stayed on Risa. Risa's eyes traveled down Dante's body and rested on the gun he was still holding in his left hand, but she turned away without showing any reaction as she bowed to him.
"You called for me, master."
Dante nodded as he stretched his hand free hand out to Risa and told her to come to him. Risa immediately walked forward until she was standing toe to toe with Dante, and she felt a shiver run down her spine when Dante put his left hand around her waist. Dante gently held Risa's chin with his right hand and from the look in his eyes, Risa could tell exactly what it was that he was about to do. Risa's lips split open, and she leaned her head back eagerly while closing her eyes. She rose up to her toes and one of her hands tightened against her maid's gown as Dante's lips came down to meet her own.
"Mmh~"
Risa moaned into Dante's mouth! She put her other hand on Dante's abs to steady herself, and she leaned into Dante as she felt her knees go weak! The kiss was soft and chaste, but Risa couldn't help the massive blush that spread across her cheeks at that moment! Her heart was racing in her chest, and there was a heat gathering in her stomach from pure desire! This wasn't the first time that Dante would kiss her like this, but Risa still felt this way every single time.
Both of them separated after a few seconds, and Dante ran his finger over Risa's swollen lips. Risa's eyes gently fluttered open, and she swallowed as she stared up at Dante eagerly. Dante felt the heat of desire rising in him as he looked down at the beautiful woman, but he knew that this wasn't the time to allow his lust to get the better of him. He had to finish learning about the system, so he would have to hold back for now.
Dante spoke with a small smile while releasing Risa's waist.
"Thank you, Risa."
Risa stumbled back and almost fell over since her knees were weak, but she managed to catch herself on Dante's chest and she eventually stood up properly. Risa swallowed once more while reorganizing her maid's gown, and she fought to get rid of the heat that was still in her stomach and on her face. She looked up at Dante respectfully and spoke in her usual stoic voice.
"Will that be all, master?"
Dante nodded while turning away to put his gun back on the vanity beside his bed.
"Yeah, that's all. What's for dinner tonight?"
Risa answered without missing a beat.
"I've prepared Scandinavian steak with boiled potatoes, master. I also took the liberty of retrieving the wine that Master George gave you a few years ago. I thought it would be a good way to remember him."
Dante released a calm sigh before smiling gratefully. Risa had a strange way of always knowing exactly what it was that he wanted her to do even before he asked for it, and he couldn't help but be grateful for her once again. Dante nodded to Risa, and she bowed one last time before turning to leave the room. Once she was gone, Dante turned to look at the new tabs that had opened up on his system.

Reward
+0.5% Charisma

Dante hummed as he scratched his hair calmly. He didn't really feel any different now that he had gained more charisma, so he couldn't help but wonder what exactly the boost would do for him.
The system came in with an answer once again.
[The [Charisma] stat in the user's database is a representation of how easily the user is able to draw the attention, desire, or respect of those around him. A high Charisma score will give the user a much higher chance of being seen as agreeable and desirable—especially by those of the opposite sex. And this can aid the user in forming alliances and creating long-lasting friendships in his business.]
