Chapter 3

What is he thinking about?
Grandeur, Asses, and More
For the first time since entering college, Maddison walked with a smile plastered all over his face. His steps were firm and certain, full of confidence. Glancing at his roommates on the school bus, he quickly cast Observe while getting to his seat.
The results weren't surprising - his reputation was on an all-time low.
Heather White, Level 10
Cheerleader at Xavier's Institution
Relationship: - 35/200
Heather White a hot brunette with twin-tails and a gorgeous bubble butt - the one who most bullied him. She would walk the hallways with the rest of her clique of spoiled girls, breaking the dressing code every day with a different short skirt.
Surprisingly though, this time, she didn't make any comments about his scrawny frame or his mocking name, 'Maddie'. No, today, she had an odd look on her face.
Is it my increased Charisma? He probed.
Beside her, in the right seat, was her boyfriend, Jordan Jones.
Jordan Jones, Level 7
Football Player
Relationship: - 18/200
Huh, strange. Jordan was one of the central football players of the school's team, yet he was 3 levels lower than Heather. Anyway, it was a strange detail to think about for another time.
Maddison took his seat before his luck ran low and someone decided to end his so-far peaceful morning.

It appeared that the system - or whatever it was - transformed not only his body but how his life worked. Now, it really were as if he was in a game, with quests and everything. Well, there was no reason to refuse the new objective. After all, it wasn't possible that there wasn't a single soul in the entire school faculty that didn't like him at least a little.
But how am I even supposed to use my mana? I kinda feel something being sucked from me when I use Observe, but it's really faint... I should begin from there, I guess.
The next few minutes were an excruciating amount of screens opening and MP draining, so much so that Observe leveled up to level 2, reducing the MP cost from 10 to 9. Yet, by the end of the ride he still couldn't grasp onto that sensation and his mana was almost empty.
Oh well, I have a whole day to do that, no need to feel rushed. Besides... my first class is Diplomacy!
Getting out of the bus, he strolled with a spring on his steps, too excited about the next period.
I wonder what is my reputation with her...
He was - obviously - thinking about his smocking-hot professor. Her hair was an unique auburn color, her gaze capable of seeing through one's soul. Seriously, his breathing got ragged when she stared at him, almost as if he was nude in her presence. Just thinking about it made him all-fidgety and exhilarated.
Miss. Arabella, or Bella for short. An Italian name, a British accent - her origin a complete mystery. He'd searched about her another day, but he found out that she had no schooling record, even though she clearly knew her stuff.
Lost in his thoughts, when he noticed he was already right in front of the classroom's door. He thought of knocking, but saw no reason for that.
"Good morning, Miss. Bella." He said with a clear smile on his face.
Arabella Castellano, Level 20
Exiled Mafia Member
Relationship: + 15/200 ; Amused
His smile crumbled in a single heartbeat.
She raised her eyebrow at his antics, sporting a similar expression to that of Heather, "Won't you take a seat, Maddison?"
His mind screamed at him to get out of there, but his body followed her commands without hesitation; she wasn't giving him an option at the matter. She got up from her seat, brushing a single strand of red hair to the side before sitting on top of his table. His breathing peaked, breathing long forgone.
Everything was happening too fast for him to distract himself with how sexy she looked up-close.
"So... strange day, huh? Mind telling me about it?"
"A- about...?" He tried faking innocence, though failing miserably at it.
Fuck! How did she notice my skill?!
"I don't know what you did, but I clearly felt it... so you better be honest." Her voice took a strange shift, a tinge of danger mixed in with her husky tone.
"I'm sorry! I... I didn't mean any harm by it. I woke up this morning with an odd power, I was just testing." He quickly apologized. He knew he couldn't lie to her, even with his new Lying skill.
"And would you bother filling me in on what it does?" She got closer, almost whispering, even though they were the only ones in class. No one showed up as early as him.
"It tells me your name and what you think of me."
"Oh, how interesting... use it again." Her legs now were on top of his lap, a hard-on straining in his pants despite the situation he got himself into.
"O- okay."
The result wasn't what he was expecting.
Arabella Castellano, Level 20
Exiled Mafia Member
Relationship: + 25/200 ; Horny
W- what?
A small smile crossed her lips as she noticed his clear confusion.
"What do you think about coming to my place..." Her thumb probed his lips, as if measuring its softness, "I could teach you lots of things, extracurricular of course. You should put a good use for a tip or two about what you just got yourself into."
Suddenly, a electric current ran from her thumb all across his slim body. A loud gasp escaped his lips, his cock exploding right inside his pants with no stimulation whatsoever.
Whatever answer he had for her offer, she didn't wait to hear, as the other students started streaming in the very next moment. Also, it was never really an offer.

The Abyss Gamer
A game of who is in charge
Unbeknownst to your everyday person, another side of the ordinary world lies right by the corner, lurking - The Abyss. Maddison Adams, a plain student who is trying to cope with the usual bullying, studying madness, and fray that is college, is suddenly thrust into this new world - one dangerous and merciless at that. Will he take advantage of such a scenario? Or will others see opportunities for the take in his new powers? __________ [Inspired by The Gamer Chyoa Version, this is a take on the other side of the erotica coin. Please take note of the tags before proceeding. I've started this story because I just couldn't envision it alongside other branches in Despaxas stories, and I like both power plays. ]
