Karma Succubus Attribute?
What on earth is this?
Before Rahul could even process the thought, a sudden influx of information poured into his mind.
Then, a translucent interface that only he could see hovered right in his line of sight.
[Current Charm Points: 0 (No ambiguous relationships)]
[Proficiency: 1 (Dated one girlfriend)]
[Redeemable Rewards: 0]
Once Rahul digested the explanation in his head, it all clicked.
This ridiculous "Succubus Attribute" basically meant he now had a passive aura that attracted women and made them instinctively develop a favorable impression of him.
In simple terms, just by standing in a crowd, he would automatically become a magnet for female attention.
Furthermore, due to the absolute rules of this system, if he just stood around a woman who was attracted to him for ten minutes, a karmic link would inevitably form between them.
By engaging in an ambiguous or romantic dynamic with a girl, he would earn 1 Charm Point and his Proficiency would increase by 1.
Charm Points could be traded in the system store for insane rewards—things like instant language fluency, physical upgrades, elite life skills, raw cash, and more.
And the higher his Proficiency leveled up, the higher the tier and quality of women he would attract.
Rahul stood there, genuinely dumbfounded.
Did a literal web-novel cheat system just drop into my brain?
This ability is completely broken!
Based on how this works, wouldn't I literally become the walking dream of millions of girls? A human magnet?
If every girl in my vicinity gets drawn to me, I'm going to turn into a massive player!
This wouldn't just make his personal life wild; it would completely skyrocket his travel vlogging career!
Taking the international "romantic traveler" route—the YouTube algorithm and the audience would absolutely eat that up!
Could I actually become the Emraan Hashmi of travel vloggers?
But wait, looking at these rules, I'm definitely going to end up as a total scumbag!
Just as Rahul was busy daydreaming about his bright, chaotic future, the receptionist holding his passport suddenly let out a loud gasp.
"Oh my god, he's so handsome!"
She aggressively nudged her colleague and shoved Rahul's passport photo right in her face.
The second receptionist, who had been in the middle of checking in a local Bangladeshi businessman, glanced over at the passport.
She immediately ditched her guest and stared wide-eyed at Rahul, who was still standing there looking slightly confused.
"Wow, he really is!"
"He looks even better in person than in the photo!"
"He literally looks like a Korean Oppa!"
"No way! He's way hotter than an Oppa!"
The two receptionists completely lost their professional composure, staring at Rahul with huge, unblinking eyes like hardcore fangirls at a concert.
Their gazes were so intense it felt like they wanted to swallow him whole.
The local businessman standing nearby peeked over at Rahul out of curiosity.
Taking one look at Rahul's sharp features and naturally fair skin, a heavy wave of inferiority crashed over the man.
The subcontinent's deep-rooted obsession with fair skin and conventional beauty standards was very real here. They naturally idolized people with lighter complexions.
Not to mention, to this man, Rahul looked like he belonged on a movie poster, looking way better than most local film stars!
Thoroughly intimidated, the businessman quietly grabbed his luggage, abandoned the front desk, and scurried off to the elevator. It was as if standing next to Rahul for another second would completely destroy his self-esteem.
Meanwhile, Rahul felt goosebumps break out on his arms under the intense staring of the two receptionists.
Is this Succubus Attribute already working?!
They definitely weren't acting this crazy when I first walked through the doors!
However, Rahul wasn't exactly feeling like a superstar right now.
Instead, he just felt incredibly awkward.
He had nothing against them, but the intense, predatory staring was seriously creeping him out. It made him feel like a male escort at a shady club being ogled by a pair of wealthy aunties.
Shaking off the uncomfortable thoughts, Rahul leaned forward and spoke in polite English:
"Excuse me, my wallet was just stolen outside. All my cash and debit cards are gone. Do you guys accept UPI, like GPay or Paytm for the deposit?"
The two receptionists were resting their chins on their hands, totally completely mesmerized, and didn't process a single word he said.
Rahul tapped his knuckles on the wooden counter and repeated his question.
A heavy blush rushed to the first receptionist's face, making her look like a glowing tomato.
"We don't have those payment apps here, sir! But honestly, since you're so handsome, I can just waive the security deposit for you!"
As she said that, she actually gave Rahul a highly exaggerated wink.
Rahul physically shuddered.
"Are you sure that's okay?"
"Yes, sir! I have the authority!"
She said "authority" with a very thick local accent, and while Rahul barely caught it, he definitely understood the enthusiastic "Yes."
Since he was completely broke right now, he desperately needed to dump his bags in the room before heading to the local police station to report the theft. He didn't have the time or energy to argue about hotel policies.
"Alright, thank you so much."
Hearing his polite thanks, the two girls literally covered their mouths and squealed.
They practically hammered the keyboard, checking him in at record speed.
Grabbing the electronic room key, Rahul yanked his backpack over his shoulder and made a beeline for the elevators.
The two girls actually came out from behind the counter, trying to fight over who got to carry his bag.
But Rahul held onto his backpack for dear life and practically dived into the elevator, mashing the 'Close Door' button like he was running from zombies.
It wasn't until he swiped his key card and locked the door to his room that he finally let out a massive sigh of relief.
That was too close. If I knew I was going to unlock a Karma Succubus Attribute, I would have booked a ticket to a totally different country!
Somewhere where the dating scene was a bit more my vibe!
Like Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, or even Eastern Europe!
Well, hindsight is 20/20. Now that he had this crazy cheat code, he definitely didn't have to worry about a lack of content for his vlogs!
He would definitely keep this in mind when picking his next travel destination.
But then a thought popped into his head—could he use this ability back in Mumbai?
Rahul tossed his backpack onto the bed and walked into the attached bathroom.
Even though he had booked a room in Gulshan, which was supposed to be a posh area, this two-thousand-rupee-a-night room looked like a cheap lodge near a railway station back home. The bathroom was pretty run-down.
He leaned over the sink and looked at his reflection in the mirror.
What he saw actually made him jump back a little.
His face was the same, but it was... upgraded. His features were sharper and perfectly defined. His nose looked incredibly straight, and his jawline was sharp enough to cut glass.
His eyes, which were always decent, now looked deeper and incredibly captivating.
You didn't need to be an expert to see that the guy in the mirror was top-tier attractive.
"Since when did I look this good?"
"Honestly, if I put on a designer suit right now, I could easily get cast as the arrogant rich CEO in a Bollywood rom-com!"
