My Evil System

?I was up at the first strike of four. It must be my body's alarm clock. It was still dark, and I wanted to go back to sleep, but I couldn't. Not with the constant reminder of the system that flashed on my face.

<You only have 05:47 remaining for the side quest CLAIM YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE ON THE BED BETWEEN TWO BEAUTIES!>

I whisked it away.

No way was I going to do that. Luke was sleeping just a meter in front of me while there wasn't enough space on the bed for me to fit.

. . .

. . .

Or was there?

Someone whispered in my head, and my eyes flung open.

Who was that?

<Host's inner desire.>

It's you, isn't it?

< . . . >

For some reason, I was pulled by this force to check the bed. And to my glee––I mean horror, there was a slight gap between Soarsie and Jane. Both girls were lying on their sides, backs facing each other, creating a tiny little space between them about half a meter wide.

<Now, this is Host's chance! Hurry! You only have 04:17 left!>

*thump!

My heart thumped so loud I was afraid the others might heard it.

I didn't want to do it.

God knew how I didn't.

But the moment that space appeared in my eyes, it was like I was consumed with all these evil thoughts to just go with it. It opened a path of possibilities that only appeared once in a lifetime!

I might never have this chance again. Even though Soarsie and I were a couple, we never shared a bed.

Heck! The far thing that we have ever gone was a smack on the lips.

<03:24 left!>

Besides that, the 5000 EXP points I'd get with just a second of lying in that tiny gap was enough to catapult my ATP to another level!

<02:44 left!>

There were so many advantages that I didn't even consider the disadvantage.

Now that an opportunity appeared right before my eyes, I couldn't think clearly anymore and just wanted to grab it.

<01: 17 left!>

Oh, the hell with it! If they wake up, I'll just say I sleepwalk!

I went to my toes and held my shaking breath as I took my first crawl into the mattress. It was cold, but sweat coated my face and dropped onto the bed at every baby step that I made.

<00:27 left!>

"Ehm . . ."

I froze, and my heart almost leaped out from my mouth when Jane moaned while Soarsie moved in her sleep.

No! The tiny gap! I screamed in my head when she was about to change position.

Luckily, Soarsie stopped on her side again. But this time, she was facing me.

Guilt and shame overcame me at the sight of her innocent sleeping face, and I wanted to back away and abandon this God-given opportunity.

<7>

I'd have another chance next time.

<4> 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

This is not the end.

<2>

Fuck! Who am I kidding?!

I laid on my side just in time that the timer counted to zero.

<0>

. . .

. . .

I didn't dare breathe nor make a tiny bit of noise. My raggedy heart was thumping so loud it hurt my ears and ribs.

But soon, I found my calm with Soarsie's sleeping face. Her breath on my skin made me feel at peace, and I thought I would give this world to her if she could remain smiling like this.

She was charming and nice . . . in fact too nice that I wondered what she sees in me.

I was hit by that familiar sadness again, and I shook it off.

<CONGRATULATIONS for completing the side quest CLAIM YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE ON THE BED BETWEEN TWO BEAUTIES!>

<Reward 5000 EXP!>

Yes! I balled my fist and shouted in my head.

However, my slight movement and the sound of my breath out of my nose cause Soarsie's eyelids to slowly open.

In my panic and haste to get away, I distributed all my EXP to AGL.

<CONGRATULATIONS! You have acquired the skill, EVIL SPEED!>

<+5000 Evil Points rewarded to Host for acquiring the Spell EVIL SPEED!>

‖ S K I L L S & S P E L L S ‖

Evil Speed LV.1

- –50 MP

‖ E N D ‖

I activated the skill, and within a blink, I was back in my lotus position on the floor, pretending I was asleep.

Soarsie sat on the bed and rubbed her eyes. A little dizzy and unsteady, she focused her squinty eyes around. When she noticed that nothing was strange, she lay on the bed and cloaked herself with the blanket.

Whew. That was close! Too close for comfort!

What would she think if she found out that I snuck on the bed?

<She would think that Host finally acted like a man!>

". . ."

I don't need your opinion.

I checked my ATP.

‖ A T T R I B U T E S ‖

HP (Health Points): 140

MP (Mana Points): 170

STR (Strength): 20

DEF (Defense): 17

MDF (Magical Defense): 15

LCK (Luck): 10

‖ E N D ‖

My heart bled, and I almost cried.

What would I do with all this agility?

<Look at it on an evil side. Now no one can catch you if you stole or spank a girl's butt. Host can easily escape!>

. . . Besides gaining a new skill and increasing my fleeting chance, I didn't see any advantage of increasing my AGL.

<Host forgets that when your AGL is higher than your enemies, they'll appear slow while your movement and attack SPD double or even triple that you can land multiple attacks at once.>

Oh! That's right!

But . . .

I wanted everything to be balanced, I lamented.

<Easy. Just fulfill all the Quests the system gives, and you'll be raking EXP before you know it~>

I sighed and went back to sleep. Maybe now I could have a shut-eye without the system constantly flashing screens in front of my face.
