The black mist entered his head effortlessly — like there was nothing in its way.The moment it disappeared inside, the young man suddenly collapsed.
I'm Andria Contem.
I'm the beautiful and cute childhood sweetheart of Kurt. We've known each other since we were babies because our mothers have been best friends since high school. Now that they're both moms, they made sure their kids grew up close too.
About the whole "almost burned alive" thing — that was totally my fault. I was twelve back then, and I just wanted to cook something nice for Kurt, something he'd love. But being the clumsy girl that I am… I accidentally burned our entire house down.
I would've died if Kurt hadn't rushed in and saved me — like a real-life knight in shining armor. From that day on, I knew he was the one. After getting over my trauma and depression, I immediately told Auntie — Kurt's mom — that I wanted to marry him. She actually agreed, maybe because she'd already started noticing some "unusual behavior" from Kurt.
We never figured out exactly what caused it, but Kurt suddenly started… changing. And not in the way we expected.
We tried everything to "fix" him. We even hired a prostitute once — but Kurt was completely against it. He ran away and we found him later at the park, sitting alone on the swing. After that, we tried giving him hormone pills, supplements, and even staged "accidental" seductive scenes in front of him.
Kurt's mom was so desperate she even considered drugging him — but we stopped her. None of it worked. His mom has since given up, but I refuse to. My future is destined to be with Kurt, so I'll fix that brain of his no matter what.
And speaking of fixing…Today's the day I'll make a move. I just need to talk to our teacher — bribe, cough — I mean, seek help. If I can be Kurt's dance partner for the school practice and the upcoming party, I might finally have a chance to win him over. He always avoids getting too close, but this time, I'll make sure he can't escape. Hehehe~
"Hey! Kurt, wake up! Class is starting!"
Ugh, who's disturbing my beauty sleep?
"Mm… okay, okay… so annoying…"
Kurt slowly opened his eyes, groaning as a splitting headache pounded in his skull. It only lasted a second before fading away. When his vision cleared, he saw his seatmate — a stunning blonde with rare blue eyes — staring at him. Her face was slightly flushed.
She had a Western look, though she once said she was half Australian and half Asian. Honestly, the only "Asian" thing about her was probably her chest — not too flat, but not exactly big either. Just enough to leave a small bulge under her uniform.
Kurt glanced around and noticed the teacher and the entire class looking at him.
"What?" he said flatly. "First time seeing someone sleep in class?"
The class just shrugged and turned back to the teacher. Kurt's snappy attitude wasn't unusual — but seeing him asleep was. Normally, he'd be quietly reading or chatting with his female friends. The guys, on the other hand, stayed far away.
They envied him for his looks yet feared him because he was openly gay. Kurt didn't mind — he didn't like their kind anyway.
When things settled down, the teacher resumed her lecture. Kurt, however, rested his head on his desk again, still feeling oddly dizzy. He wasn't paying attention — mostly because he already knew the lesson.
But then, out of nowhere, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
– Stabilizing –– System modules organized –– System ready –– SKIRT CHASER SYSTEM ONLINE –
"The hell? Who's talking? I swear I'll kill whoever's messing with me," he muttered under his breath.
"Huh? Kurt, what are you talking about? I didn't say anything," his seatmate whispered, clearly confused.
"Then who did?" He lifted his head and glanced around. Everyone else was paying attention to the teacher.
Weird… that voice didn't sound familiar at all.
He turned to his seatmate again, eyes half-open and groggy."Sorry, Debra. Guess I'm just sleepy… good night."
Debra blinked at him, a little flustered. Even though Kurt was gay, those sleepy eyes made her heart skip a beat. If only he weren't homo… she sighed internally and turned back to the lesson.
– First target found –– Evaluating status… –– Final rating: D-Class –– Reward: Normal Talent – Musician –– Talent upgraded: Rare Talent – Musician –
"I said shut up!" Kurt suddenly shouted.
Everyone froze. The teacher stopped mid-sentence, and all eyes turned to him.
He looked around and saw the entire class staring. Realizing what he'd done, he forced a smile and bowed slightly."Sorry, ma'am. Just… bad dream."
A few chuckles broke out. His classmates shrugged it off as one of his weird moods, but Debra looked at him with concern.
Meanwhile, Kurt hid his face under his arms, whispering to himself."Am I going insane? Is this a ghost? A demon?"
Then the voice spoke again — calm and robotic.
– Answering host. I am a system designed to help you capture maidens and have intercourse with them. –
Kurt froze."What the fuck did you just say?" he hissed under his breath. "I'm not into girls!"
– Affirmative. System is aware. –
"Oh, good. Then leave me alone."
– Negative. If I leave you now, I will lose energy and cease functioning. Host's soul energy is required to sustain me. –
"So I'm stuck with you. Great. And how do I even know I'm not hallucinating right now?"
– Host is intelligent and rational. System deems you an optimal host. –
"Well, thanks for the compliment, but that's not what I asked."
– To answer, the system provides rewards based on targets captured — from minor to god-tier. –
"Example?"
– Example: Normal Talent – Musician. –
Kurt raised an eyebrow. "Wow. So generous. Wait — didn't you just say something about upgrading it earlier?"
– Affirmative. Host already possessed a Normal Talent – Musician. Therefore, the system automatically combined and upgraded it to Rare Talent – Musician. –
"Why though?"
– When two talents of the same rank and type merge, the system upgrades the result. –
Kurt sighed, rubbing his temples. "Fantastic. I get a perverted AI roommate and a music buff bonus. What's next, a quest to seduce girls I don't even like?"
– Affirmative. Quest generation in progress. –
Kurt's face went pale."Oh, hell no."
