'…' 

Julien was truly speechless. 

Am I this big of a virgin that I need a mission from a system to actually improve?

Am I one of those anime protagonists who are as dense as a black hole? 

No, wait. 

I am not dense. 

Then, does it mean that I'm actually…

I-I-I am actually like those young girls from shoujo manga who quickly get embarrassed from the male lead's calf muscles!?

Is my personality so bad that I'm not even worthy to be a male protagonist from a frickin' anime!?

Julien went through an existential crisis as he finally realized he was not a cool protagonist from fantasy novels or anime, but a side female tsundere character who gets hated by all viewers and is only there for comic relief, forgotten a few episodes later. 

—wait. That's oddly specific. 

Julien found his own self highly suspicious for thinking in such a weird direction. 

A-a-anyway… I have to do something about this. 

Julien's focus was back to the present. 

His mother had stopped feeling him and was a step away, eyeing and analyzing his body. 

Looking at her seemed so focused, and under the warm glow from the flickering flames of the hearth, she sure looked stunning. 

Although such thoughts were blasphemous and not something a sane person should have, Julien had the freedom to think of them.

He was a transmigrated being, someone who was in his young adulthood. There was no way he would look at such a beautiful lady with no lewd thoughts. 

Yes, he could accept her as his birth-giver, but she would never be seen as mother, and would forever be mommy for him. 

It's okay… it's okay… this world allows such a relationship…

Julien started getting honest with himself. 

He wanted it!

He really wanted to be together with such a pretty lady but his past life's morals were getting in the way! Not to mention, there was this added stress of his misfortune affecting the ones around him!

These were the only things holding him back.

…and I am glad they are!

If they weren't keeping me sane, my porn-addicted self would've done something down horrendous and gotten killed immediately.

There were lots of fantasies Julien had as he had watched every type of porn there was in the world. 

Some of his fantasies were sure to land him in jail if they ever saw light of the day. 

After reincarnation, and in bed with such a pretty lady, only he knew how badly he was holding himself back. 

He was glad that he went to the Tower and underwent those crazy trials. They had significantly calmed him down and given himself a proper control over his emotions. 

[5 minutes have passed.]

Julien's thoughts were interrupted when he saw the system notification. 

Shit!

The failure of this quest was permanent premature ejaculation! This was absolutely not acceptable!

Sorry mom, it's the system making me do it, not me. 

Julien conveniently pushed the blame on the system even though he himself wanted to do it. 

Outwardly he seemed reluctant while internally he was rubbing his hands, preparing himself to finish the quest. 

By now, Eleanor had finished analyzing him. 

She looked at him and said, "Baby, you've gotten somewhat muscular. And more handsome too."

A blush spread through Julien's cheeks. These were his real emotions this time. 

He hadn't gotten compliments like these before, and hearing them in real life with such seriousness sure was quite an experience. 

"Is that so?" Julien participated in the conversation.

"Yes. You had a flabby stomach before, but now it's gone." 

Eleanor said and got close to him, pulling his shirt up. 

"See? There's no flab left and you can see a faint outline of your abdominal muscles. They still seem to be developing, and if you continue to work hard, you'll end up having razor sharp abs that all ladies would fawn over."

A gleeful grin was threatening to form on his face. 

Julien did a dry cough to hide it and said, changing the topic, "I don't see any outline, mom. My stomach is still flabby."

This was the truth. He really couldn't see any outline. 

"Hm? But it's right here…" Eleanor said and touched his abdomen, tracing her finger along his abdomen. 

[Ding!]

[+10 Points]

[+1 Charm]

Eleanor finished showing the lines and got back. As she looked at Julien again, she tilted her head and put her palm on the side of her face, analyzing his face. 

"Oh my… you seem to have gotten more handsome too, baby!"

Julien shook his head. "It's just your imagination, mom."

Finally, he was starting to talk normally without getting embarrassed. 

This was the start of a new journey!

"No, no, my dear, I am sure you have." Eleanor shook her head and said. "Wait, let me get you a mirror."

Eleanor got up from the couch and was about to leave, but Julien held her wrist and said, "Mom, wait!"

Eleanor was surprised by the sudden gesture. Her son had never done something like this to her before! 

This new development… she really liked it!

Eleanor turned to him and asked, "Is there a problem, baby?"

"No…" Julien said and stood up, closing the distance between him and his mother. 

"…just… just don't go anywhere."

He hugged her after saying so. 

"Oh my…" 

Such a loving and possessive gesture! Eleanor felt her blood pressure rise due to the excess sugar from Julien's sweet gestures. Just had trouble containing her glee and hugged him tighter. 

"Mommy's not going anywhere, baby. You don't have to be so worried." Eleanor said and patted his back. 

"Mhm…" Julien said and wrapped his arms around her lower back. 

As a few seconds passed and noticing her son not leaving her, Eleanor suddenly had a realization. 

This… all of this is just as new to him as it is for me. He's never experienced the love of a mother properly and I've never experienced the love of a son before either. 

He might be thinking I would leave him if I distance myself…

My poor baby… he's sure suffered a lot.

Eleanor was a tall lady like El, going above six feet. She had a voluptuous body with a strikingly narrow waist and wide motherly hips. 

When Julien hugged her, he barely managed to have his head be above her chest. And this was possible only because Eleanor's was somewhat leaning and not standing erect like a spear. 

I don't think it's her height that's the problem. It's me who's short. Tsk. Julien thought. 

In any case, this wasn't a bad thing. He actually quite liked the power dynamics and he wouldn't lie, it was turning him on, but manipulated himself into thinking it was wrong to think in such a manner and calmed his unholy emotions. 

Focus on the quest! On the quest! Yes… it's all the quest that's making you do this! It's not your own wish!

After thinking so, Julien used the advantage of his height and rested his head on top of his mother's heavenly knockers, grazing his face against the rough embroidered fabric.

Feeling this, Eleanor's heart melted. Her motherly instincts shot up and she kissed the top of his head, then began caressing him lovingly. 

Julien had a blush form on his face and was actually flustered. His heart was beating fast and he was sort of afraid to pull his next move, despite knowing his mother wouldn't do anything to him. 

[One minute left.]

Shit. The system message made him curse. I have to do this… 

Sorry mom… there's no other way…

Julien apologized internally and slowly slithered his hand down her back, placing them on top of two soft curves. He gently pressed them and got to know what it felt like. 

[Ding!]
