Usher couldn't contain his own emotion.
For the first time since he had awakened, he could use his own talent.
Usher immediately used the first function.

Usher got dressed again even as he felt the itching sensation. He had to get used to that feeling if he didn't want to be naked all day.
Analyzing the information, Usher understood some things.
He received a corruption point by unexpectedly exciting his stepmother.

Corruption points?
Usher couldn't find what the corruption points were useful for, but that didn't discourage him.
He left the room a bit sore.
The living room was a modest space, barely lit by the light filtering through small openings in the mud and wood walls. In the center, a rustic wooden table with knife marks and food stains served as the heart of the home. Around it, a pair of worn benches and a crooked-backed chair were the only seats available.
Against one wall, a rough stone fireplace served both for cooking and heating the house, although more than once the smoke seeped through where it shouldn't, leaving black stains on the exposed beam ceiling.
A rudimentary shelf held clay plates and a jug of water, while a pair of melted candles testified to the long nights with no company other than the crackling of the fire. The air smelled of damp wood, ash, and the faint aroma of a stew cooked hours ago.
Tianna lay there with her back to Usher, she seemed unaware of his presence and if she did, she pretended not to see him.
"Isn't there any food?" Usher sat at the table and asked.
"No." Tianna answered without turning to look at him. Perhaps uncomfortable and embarrassed by the situation they had just gone through.
Usher kept staring at Tianna's round and large behind. Even with her clothes, her beautiful and round behind stood out.
Usher and Tianna had never been close, so the current Usher didn't know how to start a conversation with her.
And honestly, he wasn't in the mood now.
Usher left the house and was greeted by the fresh morning air, laden with the scent of burnt wood and damp earth. His home was just one of many humble constructions, made of rough wood and dried mud.
The ground was a path of dirt hardened by the constant passage of people and animals, with puddles here and there after the last rain. Barefoot children ran between the houses, while women carried baskets of vegetables and tattered fabrics.
Farm animals roamed freely: chickens pecked the ground for grains, while a couple of pigs stirred the mud near a small stable.
In the distance, the village market began to fill with activity. Merchants set up their makeshift stalls, where they offered freshly baked bread, dried fish, and fabrics of dubious quality. An old man shouted prices, trying to attract customers, while a woman waved a bunch of herbs, touting their healing properties.
Usher sighed in resignation, one thing was being aware of a situation and another completely different thing was seeing it with your own eyes.
Usher walked through the streets feeling them both familiar and strange at the same time.
He walked for a while until he found himself outside the village. He found a large tree where he sat to get some shade.
He stared blankly at the nearby village with mixed feelings.
The last goodbye with his younger brother was still vivid in his memories. How he had promised to arrive early, so they could watch a movie together.
He had seen many isekai anime and novels in the past and thought they were great.
Now that he found himself in this situation, he couldn't help but wonder how those protagonists adapted so quickly to the idea of never seeing their loved ones and friends again.
Usher stared blankly into space for a good amount of time.
Oppss
He stood up, wiped his butt, and looked ahead.
Well, I can't cry over spilled milk.
He couldn't forget his previous life and continue this one as if nothing had happened.
But neither could he stay and mourn over something he couldn't change.
He had to adapt and survive.
He walked back to his house and arrived just in time for lunch.
Tianna's two daughters were already at the table and looked at him as he entered.
The younger of the two girls is 16 years old and has red hair with a small, pretty face. Her face was full of freckles that made her look even cuter and prettier.
Her body is curvy and well-proportioned, with a posture that radiates confidence and natural seduction. Her skin is smooth and slightly tanned from occasional outdoor work.
Evelyn, on the other hand, is a young woman with a sweet and reserved appearance. Her dark hair falls in soft waves around her face, highlighting her large eyes that struggled to see everything clearly, so at all times she had her eyes slightly narrowed. Her figure is voluptuous, but her way of dressing and moving made her look a bit ugly.
Based on Usher's memories and her behavior, he discovered that Evelyn was nearsighted.
Everyone knew she had very poor vision but didn't know how to remedy it. That was also one of the reasons why, even at 18, Evelyn had not married.
After all, who would want their child to inherit the mother's poor vision?
There were magnifying glasses, yes. But it is an object that no commoner could afford.
Usher sat next to Lyanna, taking advantage of their close proximity, he touched her leg with his and used his ability.
[Corrupt Touch]
In his vision, Lyanna was enveloped in a dark energy for a second before disappearing.
[+1 corruption]
Tchh!
Lyanna looked very disgusted by his little touch and quickly moved away from his side.
Her face filled with disgust and repulsion as she cleaned the leg he had touched.
Usher frowned, annoyed, and used his other ability.

Looking at his own status, he noticed that he had gained another corruption point.
He used the same tactic and under the table, he used his foot to touch Evelyn's leg and use his ability.
Unfortunately, he couldn't acquire anything.
