Lunch break.
Lala and Haruna sat beneath the sakura tree, trading giggles and bento bites under the summer breeze. Their connection was strengthening—faster than expected. Emotionally entangled. Hivemind-primed.
They thought I was quiet.
But I was working.
I detached a portion of my awareness, sinking back into the system core, bypassing emotional noise to reach what mattered most:
Power.

Points Available: 540
The menu shimmered open.
No hesitation.
🎲 Reality Gacha Token – 500 LP
Cross-universe skill pull. High-risk. High-reward. Possibly absurd.
I confirmed immediately.
[Token Consumed – Rolling…]
✨✨✨
The cube spun.
It spun longer than usual.
Symbols flickered: stars, flames, rabbits, pixelated hearts, a banana(?), then something that looked disturbingly like a giggling slime.
Then—
DING!

🧪 "Addictive Essence"
(??? Universe – Rated: ???)
Your reproductive fluid now carries a persistent biochemical signature that creates physical and emotional dependency in compatible humanoids.
▸ Effects:
– Physical exposure = Increased desire
– Ingestion = Mild psychological bond
– Repeated contact = Addiction
▸ Side effect: Target may become possessive or emotionally unstable
▸ Warning: Use responsibly. Or don't. System won't stop you.
I stared at the text.
A full second passed before the system politely added:
[You rolled a Reality-tier lewd skill. Congratulations?]
I pulsed—somewhere between disbelief and perverse satisfaction.
Of all the possible outcomes.
Teleportation. Reality warping. Dimensional mastery.
And I get "Addictive Essence."
...Why does this feel more dangerous?
Across the link, I sensed Lala blink twice. Haruna tilted her head, sensing a shift in the Hivemind. A pulse of mischief. A stirring of heat.
They didn't know what I'd just gained.
Not yet.
But they would feel it.
Soon.
Very, very soon.
[System Update – Skill Installed]
Addictive biochemistry integrated. Active on next direct emission.
Tip: Some hosts may respond before emission is even triggered.
Well then.
Let's see what one drop can do.
