Ch 3 : Counterattack points

[ Ding! Counterattack point plus 10!]

Seth, who was currently lying in his hotel room, suddenly heard the system's prompt in his mind.

He immediately asked, "What is this counterattack point? What's its use?"

[ The ten counterattack points were obtained because one of the main cast, Vivi had a slight change in the impression of the host.]

[ Counterattack points can be used to increase the host's attributes or upgrade the host's skills] The system explained.

[ Also, this is your attribute panel, host.] The system brought up a panel while explaining.

Seth immediately saw that a dark blue panel appeared in his mind.

[Host: Seth]

[Counterattack point: 10]

[Wealth value: One billion belis]

[Attribute:]

[Strength: D-, Speed: D-, Reaction: D, Charm: A, Physique: D (The average attribute of ordinary people is D)]

[Skills:]

[Drawing skills: God-level, Violin: Beginner level, Finance: Beginner level, Masturbating: Advance level, …]

[Hint: Every 1000 counterattack points can increase attribute value by 1 level. You can also buy a new skill with 1000 counterattack points. The skill can be upgraded, but the counterattack points required will double. ]

"So it is like this..." Seth nodded after reading it.

He has a wealth of One billion belis, not too much but also not too little. After all, it was his own assets and did not include his parents.

But what made him surprised was that his attributes are not low either. It seemed other than being a licking dog; his predecessor was not that much of a waste.

Speaking of points, even though he was not bad, he was still very far from contending against the true strong in this world.

" *Sigh* It seems I have to work harder to earn points to increase my strength.. After all, even after, only with strength would I feel safe in this world."

. . . . . . . .

A few hours later, Seth was still lying on the bed. Thinking about what he should do for the future.

But then, he heard the sound of the door to his room being opened.

"Seth, you okay my son? Why did you suddenly want to break off the engagement?" A female voice suddenly opened and questioned Seth as she entered the room.

Seth looked up and saw his mother looking back at him with eyes full of concern.

It seemed the news had reached her mother, and she now rushed at him, thinking that there was something wrong with her son.

His father also stood behind her, looking worried at Seth.

In his family, Seth could be said as the jewel of his family. As the only son of the two, almost all his wishes would be fulfilled. In fact, when he wanted to be engaged to Vivi, his parents had gone their way to arrange their marriage, even if it meant they needed to give some of their assets to Alabasta.

The former 'Seth' would have muttered complaints as an explanation in the face of his parents' questioning.

However, the present Seth is not like the former.

"It is okay, Mom, Dad. I will explain everything clearly to you," Seth gave a warm smile.

To have a family that loved him so much, it was a lie of he didn't feel blessed.

Slowly but surely, he told the story from the start to the end, but of course, after leaving some parts that may make the situation a bit tense.

Seth's eloquence was pretty good. Under his persuasion, in half an hour, they had accepted the fact that Seth had broken off the engagement.

" *Sigh* You have matured, my son! It seems that this engagement had at least taught you something good…" His father isseud a thumbs up at Seth.

Even if this might cost them some astronomical loss, it would be worth it if Seth could mature from this predicament.

His mother also gave the nod as she also approved Seth's choice.

"Alas! to think that we would not get Vivi as our daughter-in-law, what a pity!" His mother sighed. It seemed that not only Seth, but his parents also approved of the princess.

"Don't worry, Mom, Dad! I will try to find another good daughter-in-law for the two of you," Seth persuaded.

"Well, if you say so. But remember, Mom and Dad will always support you whatever decision you make!"

After he finished talking with his parents, his parents soon returned to their own room.

Tomorrow, he and his parents would go to the Capital of Alabasta to explain matters to the king. But for now, Seth said he wanted to take a rest. After all, even though he was the one to dissolve the engagement, it was still a sad one-sided love for him.

Lying on the bed, Seth looked toward the ceiling with an empty gaze.

"It would be nice if I had more counterattack points. I want to upgrade my attributes, but the counterattack points are too few to be able to do so. This body is useless, and I only have money left." Seth thought.

[ Ding!!! Congratulations to the host for making your first choice in this world. A newbie gift package has been issued!]

At the same time, a screen appeared in front of Seth, taking an image of a small golden box.

" Wait.. since when did I get this?"

[ Hehe, it was since the time you made your first choice host. However, you seemed to be lost in your own deep thought. Therefore, the system has decided to hold it for you first. Other than that, the host could also purchase counterattack points by spending belis!]

[Recharge: One hundred thousand belis= One counterattack point]

[One hundred million belis= 1000 counterattack points]

[ Do you wish to open the newbie gift pack now?]
