Chapter 9 – Another Success

Tom looked around, trying to find his friend. He was drinking his sorrow with his friends, who were already drunk. He quickly went to the bathroom and changed his appearance into Tom. He also flipped his jacket, changing its color and texture.

'There. No one should notice that this is me.'

With that, he walked over to his friend and sat down beside him.

"Hey, man. Having fun?"

"Haah? Oh, it's you, Tom. So you came here, after all? You were lying that you wouldn't come."

"Of course, dude. I'm your best friend. Where else would I go? And, who would console you if you're sad?"

"Hahaha! You're right!"

Sam laughed heartily. He looked drunk. Tom couldn't believe that he got drunk so fast.

"Listen. There was a guy earlier. He took the twins with him. Can you believe it? What an asshole!"

"Who was it?"

"I don't know. Some guy named James." Sam sneered. "The twins are so stupid. They are always looking at older guys. They are so useless. You know what? Let's go. I don't want to stay here anymore. Let's go somewhere else. I still have money for one more round."

Tom raised his eyebrows.

"Sure, man. Whatever you want."

He couldn't tell his best friend that he was James. And surely, he couldn't tell him that he took the twins' virginities and made them his.

While the twins never had any interest in Sam, he just felt like hiding it for a bit longer.

'If I achieve it in my real appearance, I will brag non stop to him.' He thought, smiling softly.

After that, they went to another bar, and Tom was forced to pay for everything. But it was okay since he didn't have to worry about money.

"You know, man. I am glad to have you as my friend. You're the best."

"Hehe, you're welcome, bro. I am also glad to have you as my friend. Now, let's go home, Sam. You need to rest."

"Nooo! I want to drink more! Hahahahaha!"

Sam was clearly drunk, and Tom had to carry him on his shoulder all the way back to his apartment.

It was late at night, and it was cold.

However, Tom's day hadn't ended yet. After making sure Sam slept like a log, he went outside and sat on a bench.

"System, activate <Lucky Draw>!"

─Ding!

A wheel appeared in front of him and spun around. It continued spinning until it finally stopped.

"Please give me something good." He muttered, looking at the result.

The result was...

─Ding!

[You have obtained skill <Pocket Space>]

"Huh? This is..."

Tom read the description of the skill and became shocked.

"What the hell is this?! This is cheating! Oh my god, I want to hug the creator of this system! Why is it so strong?!"

The skill was powerful enough that it could change the entire world. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to have this kind of power in his world.

Just as its name suggested, <Pocket Space> was a space where he could put anything he wanted. He could even use it as a storage space.

'This is awesome. I can put things inside it and take them out anytime I want. That means I don't need to carry anything with me anymore. I can just take it out whenever I need it. This is so convenient!'

Tom couldn't believe how lucky he was.

[<Lucky Draw> chance has decreased to 0. Generating a quest related to <Pocket Space> skill.]

Of course, with a new skill, there would be a new quest. He received a quest related to his new skill <Pocket Space>.

[Use <Pocket Space> skill to steal an important item from the attractive girl in your college.]

"Steal an item?! I can't believe that it's related to this skill."

Tom was confused. He thought it would be something more daring like previous quests. But it was a quest about stealing.

But, how could he do it? And what kind of important item should he take?

'What should I do?'

He thought about it for a while before coming up with a solution.

'Maybe I should try it out first. Maybe it's not as bad as I thought. And the requirement is an attractive girl from my college, right? That's easy. There are many pretty girls on the campus. I can just return the item after I steal it to finish the quest.'

Tom went back to his apartment and took out his phone. He needed a new number to act as James.

'Let's do that tomorrow. I need to finish the quest as soon as possible.'

***

Two days later, it was Sunday. Sam already returned to his home and Tom planned to spend his time in the library.

He used his <Body Modification> skill to change his appearance and made himself look more handsome. He already had his new phone and number ready.

'Now, where should I start? Let's see...'

He looked around the library and saw that there were quite a few girls and boys studying here, most of them were from his college. Some of them were attractive and seemed like good candidates.

This time's quest wasn't so simple. He enjoyed doing it like a game in real life, a challenge that brightened his day.

'Who should I choose?'

He was in the process of trying to find an attractive girl when he noticed a familiar face. It was Sienna. She was with the twins, the Arlets. The three of them entered the city's library together.

'Hmm... it seems like they are going to study. Sienna is smart, so it's no wonder that she came here to study. But the other two are a surprise. Their lewd looks last night...' He shook his head.

'I need to focus. The twins are so nice to me. I know last night happened largely because of the alcohol's influence, but I honestly wanted to get close to them.'

He had decided. Tom stood up and approached the girls.

"Hello."
