Ether Online: My Main Skill is Winning Hearts

Ether Online was a VRMMORPG that captivated players with its expansive world and fantastic creatures like vampires, angels, demons, and elves. Willow was just another player... well, actually, he was among the unlucky few stuck with the Explorer class—great for support, but pitiful in combat. Luckily, that all changed when he discovered the Grimoire of Eros in the Cave of Greed, allowing him to switch to the Divine Seducer class. But this transformation happened on the same day that Ether Online’s servers shut down for good. Still, Willow went to bed feeling content, as though he had finally closed a chapter. Until... [THE TUTORIAL ENDED.] He awoke under a blue sky, lying on lush green grass. It didn’t take long to realize that he was somehow in the world of Ether Online itself—and this time, there was no logout option! [You have unlocked the Unique Skill “Transparent Lasso.”] "Hm! So now I can measure my relationships with hearts? What's this—an eroge?!" [You have unlocked the Unique Skill “Vision of Eros.”] "WHAT?! Does this mean I can sense people's intentions, feelings, and essence? It’s basically like reading their character files!" [You have unlocked the Unique Skill “Carnal Bond.”] "The description says: 'When you reach a high emotional bond with someone and become intimate, all your attributes will permanently increase'... THAT’S AMAZING!"

Chapter 27 - Mother Sapphire Spider

Willow and Aria were now inside a cave, and the sound of his footsteps echoed softly into the depths. They were silent, but not because the mission to exterminate monsters this time demanded it, but because a tension had been hanging between the two of them ever since Aria had last taken the floor in the guild, endorsing that Willow should take the job of bodyguard.

Aria's eyes were focused on the road ahead, while Willow's gaze was a little lost in thought. He didn't quite understand why she wanted him to take this job so badly.

After they had passed through a narrow section of the cave, Willow finally asked.

"Aria... Why were you so insistent that I take that job?" Willow stopped walking.

Aria looked back and frowned. "What do you mean? I..."

"After all, you know it's a position for a single bodyguard, not a pair. I thought... I thought we were a team."
