(PS: All characters in this fic are considered ADULT, so there will be NO illegal meanings of actions! Also, in my settings for this fic, Wise and Belle are not blood-related, more like two individuals who grew up with each other. FYI, Belle knew they were not blood-related in the first place! But she pretended she didn't know. So don't get triggered when something funny happens between them!)
"Bro, come help me carry this thing in, too heavy, I can't move it." A young woman with short dark blue hair waved at another gray-silver-haired young man not far away.
"Alright, Belle, I'm coming." The young man placed the videotape onto the shelf, then walked over to Belle, easily lifting the box filled with videotapes.
"So strong my dude~"
"Even with that compliment, you're not getting any more ice creams for the day."
Belle pouted, "Big bro's so petty~"
"Oh com' on, this isn't a matter of being petty or not." After saying that, he carried the box into the room, followed by Belle, who puckered her rosy lips with a puffy face.
"Enn~ Enn~" （Too much ice cream and you'll have diarrhea.)
A little guy with the appearance of a bunny, dressed in black and white, with the number 01 marked in white on its orange scarf, spoke in a unique language.
"See? Even Eous knows."
"Humph! I'm not getting diarrhea."
"Don't come crying in pain in front of me when you do, then, also, if I remember correctly, your period is coming soon."
"Meanie~ Not talking to you anymore!" After that, Belle ran out of the room with a blush, helping to unload the new videotapes onto the shelves with 18.
The young man shook his head upon seeing Belle scrambling away, "Well, whatever."
His name is Wise, been in this world for the past 20 plus years.
Wise isn't local for sure. In his past life, Wise was like any other gamer geek at his house, logging onto Zenless Zone Zero to clear his daily commissions, then there was a bright flash of white.
When he came to be, he found himself now as an infant.
And due to some accidents, he was with Belle, whom he had met in the same orphanage they were in. They were then taken in by their teacher / foster mother, who left them after some incidents.
But at least he's with Belle, and that's all it matters.
As to why we start from this day? It's not because of anything special happening, but because...
Wise looked at a virtual menu in front of him, it's something that has been with him ever since his birth, he called it his 'system'.
However, one thing to complain about this system is that it took way too long to start up, to the point where it has not been helpful for the past 20 years.
Luckily, the countdown for the initialization of this system ends today.
Took you a while to start up. Let's see what you've got, except for this plain timer menu.
Entering his bedroom, Wise immediately clicked the 'Start' button once the countdown ended, no funny effects or anything.
With the sound of machinery functioning, the menu automatically upgraded. Everything about the system, its functionality, and usage, turned into an instruction book in front of him.
"What the..." Wise's eyes twitched as he read the labels.
-Peerless Succubus System-
-User: Wise-
-Charm Level: 88 (Above average among humans)-
-Current Charm Level Effects: Increase the Trust Level of individuals you meet at first sight (Double the amount when the individual is female)-
"Eyo~ we're a 16+ game here, what the hell is this Succubus system doing here???"
What showed up next nearly broke Wise.
-Current Trust Level (Female)-
-Name: Belle-
-Charm Level: 95-
-Identity: User's Sister(?)-
-Trust Level: 100(+)-
-(User can receive rewards by collecting Mood Swings from the Trust level target individuals. The higher their Trust Level, the better the reward.) -
-System Evaluation: Have a high degree of favorability towards the user, but I am not able to judge whether it's based on family affection or... -
-Target Inner Thoughts: Big bro is such a meanie~ I'm not a child anymore. I just want to eat one more scoop of ice cream. What's wrong with that? But it's kinda embarrassing that he even remembered my period so clearly and cares about me so much... hehe~ -
Such high favorability is understandable... But what's with the evaluation?! System, you better not speak nonsense or I'll sue you for defamation!
The system ignored the complaints of Wise; instead, she simply pulled up a Starter's Pack.
-As compensation for my late arrival, I will present you with a Starter package. -
Wise immediately opened the package.
-Starter Package opened: User obtained the Talent Skill: Appearance is Justice (Rank S), 12 Appearance Skill Points-
-Appearance is Justice (Rank S): 80% of the user's charm will increase other skills equally; justice will only be defined with enough power. -
The description of my talent is pretty straightforward, but nothing wrong with that. As for the 12 Appearance Skill Points, adding them to my current Charm level makes a perfect 100.
Could it be that the system planned it out for me? A bit too coincidental, honestly...
Wise thought, but it seems like this 'Peerless Succubus System isn't as 'weird' as he'd thought, doesn't hurt to give it a try.
Then Wise added all 12 Appearance Skill Points to his Charm Level, bringing it up to 100.
"Hm? Don't feel anything weird though... But this 'Appearance is Justice' talent's effects are super obvious." Wise clenched his fists; the box that had taken some effort to lift just then could now be easily lifted with one hand.
"Big bro, I've already finished setting up the shelves outsi-"
"Belle, what did I say about knocking before bursting into my room? Oh well, you came at the right time just now. Is there anything different about me?"
Seeing Belle suddenly burst into his room, Wise is rather speechless. He had clearly reminded her many times to knock before entering someone else's room, but Belle never listens.
But Belle didn't answer his question right away; instead, she simply stood there, her voice stammering, "Uh, um, well... I suddenly remembered I didn't charge Eous. I'll go back to my room." With that, she left in a hurry, not giving Wise a chance to ask more questions.
However, the sharp-eyed Wise noticed that Belle's face was very red when she left, looked shy and cute on her though.
"What's that about?" Wise isn't too sure about that; apparently, he has little knowledge about the effect of a maxed-out Charm Level.
