"I'm sorry, your credentials doesn't fit our company."
"I'm sorry but you are not fit for this company."
"So sorry but we aren't hiring anymore."
"Sorry but vacancy is full."

"Damn it! Five times today and I got rejected in all of them with stupid, silly excuses. The hell?!" Max muttered in annoyance as his buttoned up shirt was now loose at the top allowing him to breathe.
He had removed his tie and wrapped it around his hands as he held his document with one hand while walking back home.
His head hung low as his chest felt heavy with sadness.
'I wish those damn companies had women as their bosses. I would have tried my charms on them maybe they would try to give me the job after a wild adventure.' Max sighed as he shook his head trying to get the thought out.
'Damn it! This is what happens when you have been a virgin for so long. After one sex, you begin craving for more again and again. It's so addictive like when a kid tastes candy for the first time. They want to keep having it again and again.' Max sighed inwardly as he kept his slow pace, his mind trying to come up with any solutions to his problem.
The sun was out bright while cars zoomed past as he walked on the pavement with his mind deep in thoughts that he didn't know how long he had walked for.
Honestly, he wasn't even tired in the slightest but then he became tired of walking as he glanced forward and then saw a bench a few metres away.
"I think I will just sit down and calm my head a little bit." Max muttered as he walked forward and then sat on the bench that had a little tree beside it with its branches hovering over the bench providing a little shade.
As he sat down, he lifted his hand to check the time.
"3:40pm"
"Sheesh! I have been out all morning."
GROWL!
His stomach rumbled loudly causing him to quickly clench it in pain as he looked around to see a shop nearby.
Dipping his hand in his pocket, he pulled out a hundred bucks and then smiled to himself as he jogged towards the shop across from where he sat earlier.
"Hi there." Max greeted the young man who was manning the shop.
"Good afternoon. What would you like?" The man asked with a beaming smile.
"Can I have a soda and those cookies please." Max said as he pointed to the type of cookie he wanted.
"Sure." The young man said as he immediately got Max's order and immediately wrapped it for him in a polythene bag. "That will be twenty bucks."
"Do you have change for a hundred?" Max asked as he stretched the money in his hand.
"Sure, I do." The man said as Max paid for his snacks and was given his change before he walked back to the bench he sat on earlier.
"I'm so hungry and tired right now." Max mumbled as he immediately tore the wrapper cookie and began devouring it.
PSST!
He opened up the can of soda and began gulping it down when a system notification suddenly flashed in front of his face making him almost choke on what he was drinking.
{MP: 20/100}
"The fuck is this?" Max muttered in shock as the soda suddenly turned sour in his mouth.
"Oh right!" Pix suddenly sounded in Max's mind with an awkward chuckle. "I forgot to tell you. Even when not in use, your MP will gradually decrease.
And by what I'm seeing, it takes a week for it to be completely depleted. Unless you use skills that would need to make use of your MP will it decrease faster."
"Why wasn't I told this earlier?" Max almost shouted aloud but restrained himself as he saw people passing by him while staring at him with disgusted expressions on their faces.
"Like I said, I forgot." Pix replied and Max couldn't help but sigh in anger.
'So I need to keep having sex to replenish it constantly? Now how am I supposed to do that? I wasn't prepared for this earlier, and I'm sure before the day runs out, my MP would hit zero.' Max gulped in fear as he clenched his hands tightly and the soda can in his hand got scrunched.
{MP: 19/100}
'Shit! What do I do? What do I do?'
"Hey handsome."
A voice pulled Max out of his thoughts as he glanced up to see a woman that looked to be in her late thirties standing before him.
"How much is your price?" She demanded.
"Excuse me?" Max said with a raised eyebrow as he stared at the strange woman.
"You're a prostitute aren't you? Although, you do look overdressed for the job." The woman chuckled loudly.
But this further deepened Max's raised eyebrow as he stared at the crazy woman.
"How can you just conclude that someone is a prostitute?" Max demanded as he shot out of his seat while staring at the woman who suddenly got frightened as she took a step back.
"I…I'm so sorry. I thought you were one based on where you are seated." The woman apologised as her pink eyes suddenly got fearful.
"Where I'm seated?" Max muttered to himself as he turned to scan around his surroundings and then he finally noticed a sign which he hadn't taken notice of earlier.
It was a sign with its board fully red but at the center of the board, a shadowy figure that definitely looked like a male with his upper body bare and only shorts were left on his lower body.
"This is the red light district. A famous place for male prostitutes to get their clients." The woman explained and only did Max finally understand why some passers-by were giving him some awkward and strange looks earlier.
"I'm sorry I mistook you for one." The woman apologised again as she turned to walk away.
{MP: 18/100}
'Ahh curses! What harm can it cause? I just have to go with the flow so as to refill my MP and also get some cash from this.'
"Two thousand." Max called out and the woman halted her steps. "That's my price."
"That's cheap." The woman muttered beneath her breath but who was she to complain as she quickly spun around with a grin on her face. "Great. Let's go look for a hotel… or a motel then."
