"What should I do?" Ben was panting.

He tugged at his hair with both hands as he rocked back and forth on his bed. Even after a few minutes, none of the girls texted him back. 'Were their butts already eaten today?'

With time ticking down, Ben was having more and more trouble thinking straight. 'Texting failed. Think of something elseAnything' He remembered Fariq's pizza delivery. 'Could it be a s.e.xy pizza delivery girl? Would she do something strange for some change? NO!'

He realized that line of thought was absurd. So he threw that idea away. 'Then the pizza itselfI could use the big sausage pizza tactic!'

Ben visualized himself making a pizza re-delivery door to door to all the girls in the dorm. Only when they reached for a slice, they'd find the hole in the box for the big sausage pizza. 'NO!'

That one didn't seem good either. Then, a dark thought swam through Ben's mind...

It was a thought that creeped by his consciousness from time to time, the type of thing he didn't want to think about, that he tried to bury deep down in the sea of his subconscious. Somehow though, it always found a way back to the surface. Ben had always managed to kick it back down like the beast it was. Yet, nownow he was in the water himself, neck deep, drowning

This thing had not only reached the surface, forcing him to stare it in the facebut it was a much better swimmer than him. Now, it offered him it's handwilling to take him to shoreto save him It said, "I'm your only lifelinewill you accept me or will you die?"

Ben swallowed as he stared at the ground. 'Of coursethere's thatthere's always been that' He sighed, he didn't want to think it, he didn't want to say it, but those seemed to be his only words left. "I couldr*pe a woman"

Ben sighed in deep disappointment when the words left his mouth, as if even uttering them was a step past a line he never wished to cross. He didn't know if that would even fulfill the seduction condition of the challenge, but if the alternative was certain death... 'Maybe there's some method, a loophole...' His mind was already infected. Then, he glanced to the right. There was a picture on his desk of him with his family. He saw his mother's face there

He gritted his teeth as his face became hideous, expressing the struggle between doing the right thing and his unwillingness to die... 'She taught me better than that' he reminded himself, but the words seemed weaker now...fragile...lacking the strength to get him to shore...

As Ben was trapped in the greatest dilemma of his life, he recalled something important. 'Wait! I still have points!'

He remembered he should've earned lots of achievements with Miyuki. It was worth checking to see if he had enough to buy something useful. Ben scanned through his achievement notifications.

[Distributing reward: Stat Point(Random) x1]

[Assigning Stat: Personal Talent + 1]

With that point, Ben's personal talent stat rose to 3. He closed his eyes, trying to feel the difference the increase in this stat made. He tried visualizing anything he considered a possible talent of his. Several visions played in his mind.

'Head shot. Head shot. D*ck shot...'

...

'Not even Noah had to carry this many animals...'

...

'The day will come when you're gonna wanna wash the taste of my d*ck out of your mouth...'

...

After a few seconds, he gained a general idea of the extent of the improvement. 'I'm probably only better at video games and its secondary skilltrash talking...'

"F.U.C.K!"

It seemed like unless he learned a new skill, a forceable increase of this stat would only improve the prior skills he was good at. It's unfortunate that Ben's starting skills were limited So, that wasn't going to help him survive right now.

As for the system skill Squirtle Hydro Pump, he couldn't tell if it improved, because the system provided all his knowledge of that; It wasn't self-learned. There was motivational speaking, but that was also something captured more by other stats. The last thing he noticed was the system hadn't bothered giving him a new weekly challenge, which was understandable for obvious reasons.

With the points Ben saved before, that brought his total to 5050...just enough to buy a high level mystery box. Getting five mid levels was also an option, but Ben knew he needed something huge to turn his dire situation around in the few remaining minutes. Thus, high level was his best choice.

Not wasting any time, he spent the 5000 points. A few seconds later, a silver mystery box appeared in his lap.

Ben took a deep breath. He knew this would decide his fate This would be the end or a new beginning...

'There's no use hoping or wishing anymore. All I can do is see where my destiny lies'

Ben lit up a lucky clove, and opened the high level mystery box as a bright silver light filled the room.

Although he closed his eyes, it didn't dampen the brightness at all. This light was illuminating his future. He couldn't hide from it.

Life or death. It was in this little box.
