Chapter 13 - A New Quest!

Darius entered the Video Game Cafe and spotted Avery instantly. She was already talking with the person at the counter about buying a playing spot for the night.

The place was also massive. On Darius's right, there were rows of PCs lined up with neon lights everywhere. It truly looked like a place where all the gaming nerds would group up to play with each other. In fact, it was bustling with all kinds of people, which was the last thing that Darius had expected. To be honest, he didn't think that it would be a popular place, but he was wrong from the looks of it.

Still, it was interesting to watch the past Avery as Darius had only seen her through her streams. She was a LOT different from what he remembered. Her body was slim. She didn't have abs. The only thing that made her similar was her eye-catching hair… However, it wasn't that weird since her career as a streamer would only start in three years. She must have realized that she was getting fat and worked out to remove all of it.

Darius smiled, thinking about it. 'You're really lucky to meet me today. I'm going to make you all fit again.'

Darius didn't know if his skill had that power, and honestly, he didn't want to have sex with an overweight person. So, he hoped that the changes would happen very fast.

-Beep!

[Talent Booster can make people more beautiful through their Charm Stat. However, it takes a lot of effort, especially with overweight people. Still, there is an item in Goddess Ariel's Shop that makes it possible. It's called Fat Loss. It's only 50 Popularity.]

'Only?!' Darius practically shouted in his mind.

He had only ever managed to get 5 Popularity from his first Quest, and he would have lost his life if he failed. He couldn't even begin to imagine what a Quest for 50 Popularity would be like. He could already tell that it would be completely insane.

[You have received a new Quest.]

[2nd Quest: Get a Number]

[Description: Get for Avery's phone number

[Reward: 25 Popularity]

[In case of Failure: -15 Charm]

Darius frowned when he saw the amount of Popularity given for such an easy quest. Avery would surely give him her number since she was so fat, and she clearly never had action before in her life… However, he quickly understood why he was given 25 Popularity for such a simple quest.

It was because there weren't any other rewards added to it. Also, the punishment this time around wasn't as bad as it would only cost him 15 Charm if he were to fail. 

'Though, it's not like I'll fail.'

Darius could only giggle when he saw the wink that the girl at the counter gave him. Even the girl at the counter was feeling him.

"Hey, I'm looking for a spot to play."

She grinned. "Of course."

"Uh…shouldn't I pay?"

She bent over the counter and reached Darius's ear. "For a cutie like you…it's free."

She winked at Darius again and started walking away from the counter, going toward a place where there was no one else playing. Darius frowned. His plan was to get placed right beside Avery. It would make things a lot easier.

Before reaching his playing station, Darius tapped her shoulder.

"Sorry, would it be possible to be seated next to the girl with pink hair?"

"Why would you want to be seated next to such a fat...overweight person?" She frowned. "Just follow, I'll bring you to a more quiet place."

Darius shook his head. "I'm not interested. Just place me next to her."

She clicked her tongue. "Tsk. Alright then, your loss."

The girl guided him toward the seat right next to Avery and left right away with a frown. She couldn't believe that she had lost against an overweight person.

Sitting down, Avery glanced at him for a short moment, and Darius took his opportunity right away.

"Hello!" Darius mustered the best possible smile. However, Avery just frowned and looked away from him. It seemed it wouldn't be as easy as he thought.

Darius moved his mouse a little on the PC and opened the first game he saw, League of Dragons? He remembered it as being some sort of new MOBA, and it became one of the biggest games in the world in a few years. He glanced at her screen, and she was also playing the same game.

"Do you want to play a game together?"

Avery frowned again, clearly not understanding why Darius wanted to talk to her that much. It was honestly quite strange.

"You want to play with me?"

Darius shrugged. "Isn't it a lot more fun to play with others?"

Avery quickly agreed and waited for Darius to open the game. There was just one small problem about all this. It was Darius's first time playing League of Dragons. He had no idea how it worked, and it seemed quite confusing for new players. Avery would surely find things weird when she saw that he was level 1.

"You've never played before?" She asked.

Darius nodded as he looked at her body again. Damn, she didn't look ANYTHING like before. It was mindblowing. Darius had no idea how it was even possible for such a creature to turn into such a beauty…

"I've never played…is that a problem?"

"Uh…no. Just play support, and I'll help you."

Darius nodded and selected the Support role in the game. However, he wasn't even paying attention to the game. He just wanted her number as fast as possible.

Wanting to know more about her talent and her stats, Darius barely touched her arm while apologizing as if it had been a mistake.

-Beep!

[You have made physical contact with the future Twitchy Top Star, Avery. Do you want her to join your Talent Squad?]

'No. Not yet. Well, not until she loses that fat.'

[Then, do you want to see her status?]

'Yes.'

As all this happened inside his mind, the game launched. However, Darius wasn't paying the slightest attention to the game.
