Vemmet sat on a stool, practically drooling at the sight.
"Ana says this item adds the most permanent Charm, and its effect has been increased by 30%!"
He cracked his fingers, knowing another 30% increase was coming.
He didn't wait any longer.
Vemmet picked up the shimmering violet sphere and brought it to his lips, closing his eyes as he took the first, rich bite.
The texture was impossibly smooth, like warm velvet melting on his tongue, and the flavor was a deep, earthy sweetness that blossomed into an intoxicating floral warmth.
As he swallowed, a noticeable flush spread across his skin, and he felt an immediate, profound shift deep within his being.

"Two hundred overall Charm? I prayed for times like this!"
At that moment, Ana knocked on the kitchen door before entering.
"You're making a whole lot of noise in the kitchen. Wanna contaminate the food?" she said as she walked in.
Vemmet turned towards her and before he said anything, Ana covered her eyes.
"Vemmet… what happened? You went from handsome to Prince Charming… no, godly charming!"
He laughed. "If I'm that good looking, why are you covering your face? Feel free to bask in my beauty!"
Ana peeked at him, her ears standing upright and her tails wagging.
"If I take all that beauty in, my instincts will run wild and I'll beat you to a pulp!"
Vemmet's body shook as he quickly distanced himself from her.
"Damned masochist."
Ana didn't say anything, only peeking further at him.
Then, she brought her hands down and darted at him.
She grabbed him—without much resistance—and hugged him.
She stood at 6'3", slightly taller than Vemmet, so her head was placed on his head.
"My cute little boy, you are one of my greatest finds."
Her tails wagged unconsciously as she kissed his forehead.
Vemmet, who had been shocked, suddenly snapped out.
"Ana, you're squishing me! I need to get moving."
Ana chuckled, releasing him. "Don't rush off, handsome. I want to snuggle more!"
Vemmet shot her a glance before choosing to clean up the kitchen.
"I can't. I just got big wings, it's time to put it to work.
"I'm going to start putting effort into quests. The earlier I find something substantial in this world, the earlier I can devote my time here!"
He gave her a quick, dazzling smile that made her white ears flatten slightly.
"Thanks for closing up for me. See you later tonight… Maybe even tomorrow!"
With a wave, Vemmet turned and darted out of the kitchen and through the now-unbolted main doors.
Ana watched the spot where he'd been, a wistful look crossing her beastkin features.
She ran a hand through her short white hair.
"He is going to become very strong... He won't leave me too, right?"

Outside the restaurant, Vemmet opened his map, the Human Empire of Zanaya revealing itself.
He was at its outskirts, driven by a rare quest that led him to Ana, where he had been working with her, earning a level of money.
But now, he was going to return to the capital city of Zanaya, Yana, also the most busy city of [Last Age].
He clicked Yana and paid the respective coins, finding himself in Yana City square.
He walked to the Adventurers guild to look for a quest that he would pick up, while checking the game's community for interesting quests.
'My attributes right now are one way beyond my level, meaning I can pick up harder tasks. The problem is the level requirement that comes with quests.
'Should I go hunt monsters in the wild to push my level? I still have 18 free points.'
Vemmet pondered, ignoring the stares some NPCs gave him..
His looks were good—yes, they always had been. The difference now was the subtle aura he carried, something that naturally drew the attention of NPCs.
Most people who glanced at him would pause for a brief moment, surprised by his appearance before moving on.
But those who truly paid attention couldn't help but be struck by his unusually high Charm.
Vemmet was heading toward the guild when something shot out of a nearby alley and struck his leg.
It was a pebble.
Another came in quick succession, confirming it had been thrown at him..
Vemmet looked at the dark alley with a smile.
He moved closer to the alley's edge when he heard an ear-pleasing woman's voice.
"Please, come closer!"
His smile widened as he stepped further into the darkness, where the moonlight barely touched.
There, hidden in a pile of trash, was a black and red puppet.
Its hand was torn open, wool spilling out, and it was very dirty.
Vemmet tilted his head slightly, asking, "And who might you be?"
The doll said with boldness:
""I am Velistra Noctharis, the 67th Matriarch of the Succubus Clan. Human with the allure of the Great Demon Cassiel, please I want to request your help."
'Charm and Luck will forever be the most broken attributes!'
Picking up the doll without malice, he asked, "Madam Velistra, how may I help you."
The blank doll face kept talking through its sewn mouth. "I want to save my daughter!"
