180 days to live

Sitting on his bed, Ben glanced at the new mission the system gave him.

[Death Challenge: Become an Elite Alpha - Raise all your stats to an average of 8 points within 6 months]

[Reward: ???]

[Conditions: ???]

[Punishment: Obliteration]

"Why does it only tell me the horrible punishment?!?" Ben frowned. "And why is this the challenge? Isn't this a pick up artist system? Shouldn't the only requirement be to get girls?"

[To become the world's greatest pick up artist, you must attract and surround yourself with top tier women. To do that with consistency, seduction skills alone are not enough. You must first become a man of the highest quality]

He raised an eyebrow. 'She's a bit chattier than I rememberDoes this meanshe's accepted me a little?'

[You are currently trash tier]

'So she's a young master system now...' Ben shook his head. Yet, he didn't let the system affect his mental state. 'I'm different now, her words can't hurt me I'll focus on my situation instead. First, let's see what I'm lacking to complete this challenge.' He opened his stat window.

[Looks: 6 - Average garden-variety gnome]

His hands clenched. 'Nope, not going to get to methe Travelocity gnome made millions'

[Charisma: 7 - High potential. The charisma of a date-rapist]

Ben clenched his jaw. 'No...look at the bright side. A date-rapist is much more charismatic than a normal rapist'

[Social Status: 3(2+1) - When you enter a room, people notice. They try to attract your attention, and give you their food orders]

Ben's breathing became heavier. "That hasn't happened since last week!"

[Seduction skills: (+1)5 - You have improved your flowof blood to your necrotic p.e.n.i.s]

Ben stood up. "It's not necrotic! I give it plenty of air!"

She could insult him all she wanted, but leave his manhood out of it!

Ben tried to lower his blood pressure with happy thoughts. 'Ok, this went up by one after I slept with Penelope. That's a good thing.'

[Knowledge: 5 - A scholar of the mediocreseeking education from the most useless sources]

He snorted. 'Useless? Then you don't understand how much wisdom there is on 4chan Keep f*cking around and find out'

Ben was anticipating the day the system got doxxed

[Manliness: (+1)6(5+1) - There are menand then there are boysand then there's you]

"F*CK!" His calm and collected exterior crumbled under the unrelenting pressure

[Communication: 5 - Helen Keller]

"Bullsh*t! I can speak! I won't believe I'm not better than her! And it isn't a fair comparison at all! I never had a private tutor like Anne Sullivan!

Ben elevated his relative status by pointing out Helen Keller's white privilege

[Personal talent: 3 - If a talent scout saw you, they'd approach you, and ask if you're ready...with their food order]

He threw his hands up in the air! "Get new material! I don't even work as a waiter! Not since that place fired me!"

Continuing to curse for another minute, Ben only settled down once he realized the gravity of his situation. "I don't even have one stat at 8..." The system was asking for too much! He needed to raise all his stats to an average of 8, but most of them were too far off. He'd made gains the past month, but those were the easy ones. It was more difficult to rise from 7 to 8 as it was from 0 to 7. Yet, he'd have to raise them to an 8?!? The progress demanded was too much!

Sighing, Ben could only accept it. 'It'll be very difficult, but I can only do my best. Besides, if I succeed, I'll truly become someone special' If he had an 8 in all those statsHe couldn't imagine what he would be like

'Instead of complaining, I should see what else has changed. I must've received many achievements that last day.'

[Congratulations! You've unlocked the Achievement: Green Hat Delivery Service(uncommon) - Inform a woman's relationship partner that you've cuckolded him]

[Distributing reward: PUA Points + 200]

Ben smirked as he considered the profit potential of the Green Hat business model

It wasn't a bad idea. Half the challenge was proper marketing and he already had a jingle in mind.

"The most reliable delivery service around~

Guaranteed to deliver the package safe and sound~

The next one's free if our words aren't true~

So ask yourself, what can green do for you?~"

Seeing no more achievements, Ben glanced at his points total. With everything combined, he gained 3800 points, but he wasn't in a rush to use them. There were still other things to handle.

Ben retrieved an item he'd been saving since he left Penelope's dorm room. Holding it in his hand, he wondered what was inside. It was the blue treasure chest that dropped from a v.a.g.i.n.a
