NeToRi System 60 – Brighter Days

The next morning Jackie woke up feeling much more relaxed than she had the prior day. She saw Dave had already gotten up and was in the middle of his morning workout. She smiled, rather than getting out of bed she decided to enjoy the show. He was half naked while going through them so she could see the ripples of most of his movements as he went through all the exercises.

His workout didn’t last long. Even with the added weights for additional resistance he still managed to get through them much quicker than when he first started working out. These days it was almost more of a warmup than a full workout. That required specialised equipment at the gym now. He had gotten used to it and it became a nice relaxing start of the day for him.

When he finished Jackie came up behind him wrapping her arms around him. He could feel her breasts pressing against his bare back.

“Mmm good morning baby,” she said.

He smiled. “Feeling better?” He asked.

She smiled back. “So much better. Definitely after last night,” she said with a chuckle.

He turned around in her arms wrapping his own around her moving in for a kiss.

She turned her face away. “No, my morning breath stinks,” she said in embarrassment.

He rolled his eyes and kissed her on the cheek instead. “I bet you don’t,” he retorted.

She didn’t give in though and instead placed her hand on his chest paving him away. “Just go get ready she said,” pushing him towards the bedroom door.

He nodded. "Ok, but don't go down before me," he said. He was still a little worried about how his father would react after she hadn't spent the night with him.

After a quick shower he was surprised to see his father already up.

An empty bowl with the remains of cereal in it was left carelessly on the breakfast table with a milk bottle standing next to it. His father was already done eating his own breakfast and getting ready to head to his gym. It seemed he was taking his preparation for his next match more serious than usual after all after his recent loss and falling behind on his training.

Thankfully he actually left before Jackie even got downstairs. Dave almost felt like laughing. His father though he would work very hard training without distractions until his next match, beat his next opponent and regaining his reputation before returning to set his home life back in order by putting his son and wife in their rightful places.

However Dave knew that was simply impossible. No matter how hard he trained as long as his body exceeded what it could sustain without the ability Dave stole from him he would be losing progress no matter how hard he worked on it. He was just wasting his time. Meanwhile Dave would actually continue experiencing the growth of that very same ability. If his father thought last time was just an unfortunate accident when Dave pushed him soon enough even in the best conditions he wouldn't be a match for his son anymore.

Dave sighed and cleaned up the mess his father had left. His had never thought about how his actions negatively affected others. Either that or he did and enjoyed it. He wasn't sure.

Jackie came down not much later fully cleaned up and ready for the day.

He smiled at her causing a light blush to dust her cheeks.

"Is he still in bed?" she asked curiously.

Dave shook his head. "No, he actually left to train already," he explained.

"Really?" she asked in surprise.

He shrugged. "I just saw him leave," he said.

She sighed in relief.

Dave smirked. "It seems he will be entirely focused on training to win his next match since he has already fallen behind after dealing with his two hospital stays and concussion recovery," he said.

This brought a smile to her lips. "Hmmm... that would be nice," she murmured.

He walked over wrapping his arms around her waist and giving her a tight hug and kissed her softly. "We only have to hold on for a little longer," he reassured her.

She nodded tucking her head into his chest and breathing in deeply after the kiss ended. They enjoyed each others warmth for a few moments before she breathed in deeply. "Ok. Let me get breakfast and lunch started for you," she said with determination.

He smiled watching her prepare breakfast and lunch for him like a good little wife. 'So cute,' he thought.

He felt a lot better heading to school this morning without the worries regarding his father looming over his head which made for a much more pleasant morning run.

He actually ran in to Ms. Samoine in the school grounds.

A small smile was on the corner of her lips. "You're looking happier than usual. I hope you didn't forget about the test," she said.

He smirked. With his new ability he got from sleeping with Kate he had finally been able to get caught up with all the classes. At least for the content that was in the books for those classes. "I wouldn't dream of it Ms. Samoine," he said.

She chuckled. "Well we'll have to see about that," she said playfully before heading off.

Dave gulped watching her shapely ass sway in that slightly too tight pencil skirt as she walked off. 'What I wouldn't give to get a chance to see her out of those skirts she wears, able to see her ass in all its glory,' he thought to himself while admiring admiring the view.

He didn't see the smirk playing on her lips as she noticed his focus on her ass as she walked off.

When he finally walked into class himself the entire class went quiet as they all stared at him before some started whispering. He would need some time to adjust to not being completely ignored by everyone except for the bullies.

NeToRi System 59 – Stress Release

Dave's hand slowly slipped up along Jackie's smooth abdomen until it reached her breasts grabbing it, playfully massaging it until he got his fill of them.

A shiver travelled through her body. "Ahn..." she moaned quietly.

He leaned up and pressed his lips against her shoulder slowly trailing kisses up her neck until he reached the base of her ear. He could smell a fresh slightly sweet scent coming from her hair.

She seemed to be getting into it more if the way she was grinding her plump ass against his hardening dick was any indication.

He nibbled on her earlobe playfully eliciting more moans along with a giggle to escape her lips. "Ah.. mmm.. that's... ticklish," she gasped.

His free hand slipped down between her legs. He could feel she was already quite wet despite them barely having started. Her breath hitched as his fingers brushed along her already soaked lower lips. She bucked her hips up against his hand as if to spur him on.

At the same he suddenly lightly tweaked her nipple causing her to gasp.

"Mmmm... please don't tease me," she moaned erotically between her laboured breaths.

His hand slipped from her breast, up her chest, past her collar bone and settled around her neck gripping it firmly, but not painfully so as he pulled her back against him.

She bit her lower lip. She really wanted to kiss him, but couldn't with their current position.

His finger parted the lips of her pussy tenderly massaging her insides alternating between exploring her depths while slipping up to her clit to tease her further.

She rolled her hips against his hand. "Mmm... yes... deeper," she moaned. She tried biting her lips to contain her moans, but it was only a little successful.

He couldn't help himself and moved his lips down her neck again where he sucked hard leaving a hickey right at the base of her neck.

She gasped from the sudden sharp sensation.

Since he was behind her she was struggling about what to do with her hands, but it didn't take her long to find something as she instead started playing with her own breasts matching his rhythm between her legs.

"Ah yes... right there," she moaned.

"Mmmm... I want you," he murmured in her ear his dick still grinding up against her.

"I can't wait any longer," she said eagerly.

His hand slipped out from her lips getting a firm grip on her hips.

She bent forwards showing off her ass. Then grabbed one of her ass cheeks pulling it aside to reveal her already dripping pussy and a hint of her asshole. She looked back at him with a mixture of teasing and horny expression.

He lined his cock head up with her slit from behind.

She tried pressing herself back against him to force it in, but he pulled back his hips as she did. "Ah.. ah... ah... no need to be so eager," he said with a teasing smirk.

She looked back at him over her shoulder. It almost seemed like she was pouting. "Mmmm.... please?" she begged him.

He smirked as he rubbed his cock along her wet slit parting her lips ever so slightly as he coated his dick in her juices.

The head of his cock slowly parted her lower lips. As he slowly thrust inside of her he used his other hand to wrap around her abdomen and pull her into him too. Due to their position she felt even tighter than usual and it took a little effort to reach all the way.

Her eyelids trembled. She gasped and moaned as he was finally inside of her. "Oh.. yes..." she moaned.

"Now that he's back you'll have to make sure not to get too loud or else he will hear you," he whispered in her ear. He could feel her tighten even more around his dick when he did.

She bit down on her hand, but he could still hear a muffled moan escape her. "Hnnn.... ok," she said.

He started thrusting use his hand to pull her towards him with every thrust.

"Oh...fuck yes...." she moaned out.

Although it started out being mostly his effort it didn't take long for her enthusiasm to catch up as she started pounding herself back onto his cock.

His hand slipped back up from her hip until it met her breast grasping it firmly.

She slipped her hand between her legs. First she started to tease herself around her clit slowly moving closer and closer to it while her pleasure heightened as he continued to pound her.

He playfully pinched her nipple then let go his hand travelling up to her neck and grabbing it firmly and restricting her breathing slightly though making sure not to hurt her. He could feel her shiver in anticipation when he did.

"Fuck me harder," she said between moans and laboured breaths.

He didn't need to be asked twice and started really pounding away at her pussy causing a wet slapping sound to resound throughout his bedroom accompanied by her fevered moans and his grunts. "Fuck... take it," he grunted out.

She buried her face in the pillow muffling her moans as she came. "Ahn... Yes! Yes!" she moaned. Her racked with bouts of shaking as she enjoyed herself.

With her pussy tightening around him as the waves of her climax coursed through his body it only took him moments to be sent over the edge himself as he poured every bit of himself into her as she seemed to be trying to squeeze him dry.

He was surprised to find that it didn't take him long to be ready for another round. Unfortunately unlike him it seemed after a long stressful day Jackie wasn't feeling the same as she already seemed to be falling asleep.

He decided to let her rest given the day she'd had though and wrapped his arms around her pulling her in close against him. Since both of them were exhausted they fell asleep in no time.

NeToRi System 58 – Avoiding Things

By the time he got out of the changing rooms it seemed Vanessa had already managed to leave avoiding him entirely. After trying to find her for a little bit he ended up giving up after checking most of the spaces he thought she might have been at.

He met up with one of the other personal trainers that were available for him to shadow for the afternoon. He didn't stay too long though and wrapped up after two hours. He might have stayed longer, but he couldn't sty out too late since Jackie couldn't return until after he had to see what was going on with his father.

When he finally got out of the locker rooms he texted Jackie to let her know he was heading home and to come back in an hour or so just to make sure he has some time in case anything happens.

He arrived home to find most of the lights off. The living room was lit up only by the light from the TV.

His father was seated in his usual recliner. He was drinking from a beer bottle and a bunch more empty ones were surrounding the chair. It seemed he had been home for a while already. Dave was sure this wasn't the doctor's recommendation right after leaving the hospital for a head injury, but seeing his father worsen his own situation wasn't something he would argue as he would happily see him fall even further.

"I was starting to wonder if anyone still lived here," he said without turning to face Dave.

"Sure..." Dave responded cautiously.

His father took the final swig from his bottle then smoothly opened the next one with practiced ease despite his heavy inebriation.

"So... how... are you feeling?" Dave asked..

His father just seemed to be ignoring him though.

Dave walked past the living room settling in the kitchen for the moment. Taking the time to get things ready for dinner while waiting for Jackie to come home. So far his father seemed to be calm and just ignoring him which wasn't too out of the ordinary when he wasn't in a violent mood, but there was no telling how he would react when Jackie got back.

It didn't take too long for Jackie to walk in. It wasn't far off from the hour I had recommended.

She avoided her husband by heading straight to the kitchen. She looked at Dave with concern.

She looked concerned. "Are you ok?" she asked in a whisper.

Dave nodded. "Yeah, he has been ignoring me for the most part," he said.

She nodded and quickly started helping him make dinner to avoid any further conflict.

Dinner was extremely awkward. His father came eventually after being called a couple times and just sat down grabbing whatever he wanted before he started stuffing himself.

He looked over at Jackie. "Get me another beer," he ordered.

She hesitated looking over at Dave who just nodded in confirmation.

His father immediately started drinking it the moment he got it. "Aahh, that's better," he exclaimed with a sigh.

Dave and Jackie were awkwardly eating while glancing at each other. Only the sound of silverware on porcelain sounded through the dining room. The atmosphere was tense.

He was going through the bottle way too fast.

"Get me another," he ordered.

Jackie hesitated for a moment. "A-are y-you sure?" she asked.

He threw the empty bottle aside violently causing it to smash to pieces against the wall. "I said to fucking get me another!" he shouted loudly.

Dave got up and rushed between his father and Jackie his fists up and ready to fight if necessary.

Jackie grabbed onto his clothes nervously.

His father sneered. "Oh and here we have the big man! Here to save the day." he said.

Dave was worried about what might happen. His father wasn't in any shape to fight him given his decreasing body due to losing his ability and now having hit his head as he was still recovering from his concussion suffered during his last match. If something went wrong again and his father needed to go back to the hospital for a third time in a matter of weeks people would definitely start asking questions even if his father hadn't said anything.

"The two of you are lucky that I'm already behind on preparing for my next match. I need to make up for my loss. Afterwards we are going to deal with some things though," he said with determination.

Dave sighed internally. His next match would need to be soon since it had been weeks since the last one and unless he wanted to fade in to obscurity he would need to fix his reputation by winning a match as soon as possible and change the direction of his career. Normally he would have at least 3 months between matches. However given the situation he would probably recklessly try to push it to sooner while spending more of his time preparing.

His father grabbed another beer from the fridge himself and started downing it. "Fuck! This shit ain't worth it," he grumbled changing his mind and heading upstairs to his bedroom.

Both Dave and Jackie finally relaxed as he left the room the breath they were holding finally escaping them.

Dave looked at Jackie. "You're staying with me at night from now on," he said with determination.

She blushed, but nodded nervously.

Dave was laying in bed when Jackie came in to his room. He watched as she slipped out of her clothing one piece at a time as if teasing him before sneaking under the covers with him.

Her plump ass settled against his crotch. As she shifted to settle in place it caused his dick to grow hard.

She smirked. "Oh? What have you got there?" she asked playfully. Now she was rubbing her ass along his length intentionally rather than accidentally.

He was growing more used to her teasing though and wrapped his hand around her hip grinding back against her.

NeToRi System 57 – Reflections

Although it was nice he did feel it was the ability with the least growth potential long term unless you were talking about the growth potential in his pants. At least out of all the abilities he had received so far. Both [Hypertrophic Hyper Responder] and [Enhanced Neuroplasticity] had high potential for growth. After all the former would allow him to have a superhuman physique with enough training and growth time while the latter would only lose value after he had learned everything there was to learn in the world which he didn't see happening.

He would take every little bit he could get though and this ability would also help him with the function of his system. Having sex was  requirement of the system after all so anything that could raise his ability in this area had value. He could of course simply sleep with women in a relationship once and be done with them to get their partner's ability, but then he wouldn't ever gain their ability through Full Domination and it also didn't sit right with him to simply let a women he worked to get go like that. So anything that allowed him to keep more women sexually satisfied was good in his book.

Not to mention that being known as a guy that was good in bed and could keep going for a longer than his partner was a good rumour to have when pursuing particular types of women. The kind that enjoyed the act itself a lot and if there was one thing women were good at it was gossiping, the juicier the better and nothing was juicier them gossip regarding things that people did in the bedroom.

In his excitement over the boons Kate had brought him, he couldn't stop himself from leaning down and giving her a deep kiss. This caused her to blush due to the blatant show of affection in front of most of the school just moments after what had happened with Brad. The rest of those in the cafeteria still watching on as the things developed. Gossip already abound a little more wasn't going to hurt. They also no longer needed to hide the relationship from what was now Kate's ex.

It had taken a couple of weeks, but his reputation was many times better than it was before. The only ones still looking for trouble with him were Jeffrey and Mara and their little group of friends. However his year mates had started changed their opinion on him.

The boys deciding he wasn't one to mess with while some of the girls started thinking he might be exactly the guy to mess with after what he did to Jeffrey and now how he handled Kate. It didn't hurt that he had gone from a tall twig with a bit of a belly to looking ripped. He could still get much bigger, but he had already achieved close to a lean swimmer's physique with little fat to speak of. The loss of fat also showed in his face which had become more defined and his jaw was less rounded than it had been.

There still was plenty to improve however it had only been just over three weeks. He hadn't gotten any abilities that focused purely on improving his appearance yet with all his abilities so far focusing on his mental and physical capabilities. [Enhanced Testosterone] was the first to bring a slight improvement here as it would improve how tall he was, make his facial hair better, and his voice. The largest improvement would be his dick, but he couldn't go around showing that one off. Well not blatantly at least.

It was already good enough for now though. If he could keep up his growth soon he would be the top scoring student with both the best academic and athletic performance in the school. He just needed to swing that into scoring some more girls, maybe focus on a few with appearance enhancing abilities to really help him land even better girls. If he had the looks, the physical prowess, and the brains the only thing he would be missing was money. That would only be a matter of time though as it would follow from his success in the other fields.

He had hated this world for so long, but with the NeToRi System he could literally become a Jack of All Trades, Master of All. All he needed was the time to develop and he could entirely turn his life around and make up for all those lost years.

The rest of the school day was mostly uneventful though Kate once again seemed to have grown closer to him now that their relationship was public and her relationship with Brad was entirely over. Dave wasn't looking forward to the end of school though. He still had no idea how meeting his father for the first time since he put him in the hospital would go.

After a heated goodbye at the school gates with Kate he jogged to the gym by himself for the first day of his apprenticeship. Thankfully he wasn't alone as Vanessa was there too. He hadn't heard from her all day despite what happened the night before. Not that he had too much time to think about what happened with everything that had been going on and his other worries that were occupying his mind.

When she saw him she blushed and looked around nervously which was rather unusual for the brash young woman. Before he had a chance to even say hello she ducked into the women's changing rooms preventing him from talking to her. Maybe it was a coincidence, but he was fairly certain she was avoiding him with how she was behaving. He could have waived it off if it hadn't been so obvious she had seen him before rushing off.

He hoped he would get a chance to talk to her and clear up what she was thinking before she left for the day.

NeToRi System 56 – Bigger Surprises

While hugging Kate to help calm her down Dave was surprised by a series of unexpected system notifications that appeared.

[Brad Jones successfully NTR'd]

[Kate Kinney in love with host]

[Kate Kinney no longer holds romantic or sexual feelings for Brad Jones]

[Dominated Brad Jones into giving up his claim on Kate Kinney]

[Secret 'Full Domination' function activated]

[Copying Enhanced Estrogen]

[Enhanced Estrogen acquired]

[Enhanced Estrogen is a sex specific ability....]

[Adapting ability to match host's physique...]

[Ability converted to Enhanced Testosterone]

[Enhanced Testosterone acquired]

It took a few moments for Dave to realise what was happening.

'Wait... what? Copying? So does that mean it didn't steal the ability from her?' he questioned.

[Correct, the Full Domination function copies the ability granting it to the host while allowing the original ability owner to keep it.]

He looked down at Kate with some concern. Although his partners losing their abilities wouldn't stop him from pursuing his own goals and using the system, he really hoped it did indeed just copy their abilities so he could feel less bad about using them. Using them for sex and to steal them from their partners was one thing. Taking away their abilities which could make the rest of their life worse of was a completely different thing though and would leave him with at least a decent amount of guilt regarding his actions. Even if they were cheaters and weren't the most innocent girls they hadn't necessarily harmed him.

'Show me her status,' he ordered.

Her status panel popped up in front of him.

[Name: Kate Kinney]

[Age: 18]

[Abilities:]

[Enhanced Estrogen]

He sighed in relief seeing her ability still present there as it always had been.

The only downside would be that he couldn't remove Mara's ability this way even if he succeeded in seducing her and although he really wanted revenge on her sleeping with Jeffrey just to achieve the best revenge was a step too far for him.

'Ok I think I already have an idea, but what are the requirement to activate the Full Domination function?' he asked.

[There are four requirements:]

[To NTR a target]

[To get the target's partner to fall in love with the host]

[To get the target's partner to lose their feelings for the target]

[To get the target to give up on pursuing/reclaiming the stolen partner]

'Ok, that is pretty close to my assumptions. So if I meet all the requirements you will copy rather than steal the partner's ability?' he asked.

[Correct. In cases such as before where the ability does not match the host's physique the system will attempt to adapt the ability to the host's physique.]

Dave smiling. He was extremely excited and couldn't contain himself. This meant he wasn't limited to just the abilities of the men around him, but could also gain those of the women around him. He wasn't going to consider sleeping with men to steal desirable abilities of their women, but this new function was right up his alley. It was just an extension of something he was already willing to do. Better yet it didn't even deprive the abilities of his women.

'Are there any restrictions to this function?' he asked curiously.

[Not beyond the inability to copy an ability that has already been acquired]

'That is really no restriction at all,' he thought.

'System. Show me my status,' he ordered.

[Status Panel]

[Name: Dave Stiersen]

[Age: 17]

[Abilities:]

[Hypertrophic Hyper Responder]

[Enhanced Neuroplasticity]

[Enhanced Testosterone]

He couldn't help but enjoy seeing his growing list of abilities. He may have started this life without any abilities at all, but he already had three times as many as anyone else he had come across so far in just a few weeks with the system. Both of the first two abilities had been life changers already so he was excited about his latest one.

'Show me the details of Enhanced Testosterone,' he told the system.

[Enhanced Testosterone]

[Produces a slightly improved form of testosterone that enhances the benefits and reduces the drawbacks.

Slight improvements to penis and testis. Improves size and functionality.
Slight deepening of the voice.
Slight improvement to bones. Improves height, bone durability, bone healing, and red blood cell production
Mild increase in facial and pubic hair. Improves growth rate and density/coverage.
Mild increase in muscle size and strength.
Large increase to libido.
Large increase to sperm production and quality.]

Despite it having little use in improving his life directly he couldn't deny he appreciated many of the effects of this ability. Most of the effects were rather minor which was my he didn't consider it a top level ability. However what man could resist these kinds of improvements?

The largest improvements were all towards his sexual performance. If you were offered the ability to have sex more frequently and for longer who wouldn't? If you were offered a larger dick, would you turn it down? Unless you already had some kind of monstrous dick probably not. He wanted to say he didn't care about the quality of his sperm, but a deep dark part of him kind of enjoyed the idea of getting someone like Jackie pregnant right under his father's nose.

Unfortunately the effects to things not related to sex were much lesser. The increase to muscle size and strength was still very welcome since its synergy with Hypertrophic Hyper Responder should be rather good as it allowed him to improve his physique even more than it already was speeding up his growth in that direction.

He had never grown out his facial hair since it had always been very patchy, it sounded like that would be a thing of the past going forward. He still wasn't sure if he would even if now he could, but if he didn't it just meant he would have to be a little more diligent in shaving.

It was a real shame the system said the improvements to his bones was only slight. He doubted he would see too great an enhancement in those despite those along with the muscle improvements being the ones that would likely have the greatest effect. He was already rather tall, but a little more and also the increased recovery for his bones and red blood cells was more than welcome.

NeToRi System 55 – Inevitable Consequences

Dave smiled down at her. "We will get through this together," he said.

He gently brushed her hair behind her ear and rubbed the tears from her eyes. "I won't let him hurt you anymore. Just watch tomorrow," he continued.

She nodded meekly, but a small smile had returned. 'Ok. If you say so, I'll believe you," she said with some determination.

For once their night wasn't spent in pleasure as he used to it to cuddle with her and comfort her instead as they just wasted a few hours watching TV to distract her from her worries.

By the next morning she seemed to have gotten over the worst of her worries as she went into the new day with a renewed vigour. They enjoyed morning where they could spend it together without worries. Dave felt they had grown even closer after their date that weekend and the conversation they had the night before. It was as if their relationship had been raised to a new level.

After he finished his breakfast he looked at Jackie with a serious expression. "After you finish what you need to get done this morning leave the house and spend the rest of the day enjoying yourself. Don't come back until after I get home. Text me if anything comes up," he told her.

Due to his nerves the day seemed to be moving slower than usual as he kept worrying about his father's return and Jackie. Although he had reassured her and he knew eventually there was nothing his father could do since he had stolen his ability that still didn't guarantee things would go well after he accidentally sent him back to the hospital just a few days before.

It wasn't until lunch that something managed to get his mind off things.

He was grabbing lunch at the cafeteria with Kate when Brad came walking into the cafeteria looking around. The moment he saw the two of them he stormed up to them turning red in the face.

He stared at Kate. "It's true isn't it?!" he yelled.

There was an awkward silence as he kept looking at Kate. It was clear despite his suspicions part of him was still hoping she would deny it so he could continue to live in his delusions rather than face the reality that his girlfriend was effectively not his girlfriend anymore. That she hadn't been for quite some time already.

Kate's head dropped not wanting to look him in the eyes as she felt a little shame for her actions.

Despite the lack of an outright denial her silence spoke volume and Dave could see what little hope was in Brad's eyes dim replaced by tears in the corner of them instead.

His eyes darted to Dave and back to Kate. "S-say something!" he said, but it was clear his heart wasn't in it anymore.

Kate couldn't even look at him turning to look at Dave instead as a form of escape. Her eyes were red and she seemed like she was about to cry just as much as Brad did.

Dave who had been watching the developments sighed and wrapped his arm around Kate's waist pulling her towards him. She didn't resist at all instead wrapping her arms around him and pressing herself into his side excitedly while resting her head against his chest. "How much longer are you going to delude yourself?" he asked exasperatedly.

Brad's gaze turned hard. "No! Get the fuck away from her!" he said threateningly reaching out towards Kate. Unfortunately with his diminutive physique it wasn't near as threatening as he would hope it to be.

Dave who had actually felt a shred of sympathy for Brad up to that point killed it. He let go of Kate and stepped in front of her blocking Brad. He was already half a foot taller than Brad even before, but now that his physique had improved he utterly dwarfed the twig of a guy that had spent his entire life focusing on school.

"And what if I don't?" he said glaring down at him threateningly.

Now that Dave had gotten closer to him and towering over him forcing him to look up it him, it became clear the mess he was getting himself into. Finally he snapped out of anger and brought some sanity back. Brad gulped his eyes darting between Kate and Dave. He liked Kate. He really liked Kate. However the question was did he like Kate enough to get beaten up? He didn't even question whether it would end up with him beaten up. Once he had regained some sanity he had already realised that would be the only outcome if he pushed it further.

He tried gazing at Kate pleading for her to say something. For her to take his side. However he noticed she still only had eyes for Dave. Her gaze firmly locked onto Dave's back as he shielded her from her boyfriend. As horrible as she felt about what she had done, a small part of her felt pleasure watching Dave stand up and unabashedly claim her as his and be willing to get into a fight for it to remain that way.

This realisation killed what little hope Brad had. He didn't have the strength nor courage to fight for her and she wasn't going to deny Dave despite her being his girlfriend. No not being. Was. He realised he had lost her. It wasn't even right them, he had lost her without even realising it. When had it happened?

Brad clenched his fists. A few stray tears escaped from his eyes, but finally he turned away walking out of the cafeteria. Defeated.

Kate quietly wrapped her arms around Dave from behind holding on to him tightly. He could feel her shaking, but he didn't say or do anything just giving her the moment to compose herself.

The cafeteria was silent. Everyone was watching. This was the best gossip in weeks and they didn't want to miss a moment of it. Many of the girls had feverishly watched on. Why couldn't it have been them with the boys fighting over them in public? It was a shame that it hadn't become an actual fight. That would have been even more exciting. Slowly some whispers broke the silence as people excitedly started to discuss what had happened. Some started texting their friends what they had seen, excited to be the first with the news.

NeToRi System 54 – Surprises

Dave made a call to a cab company. After he gave them the address for pickup he turned to Vanessa whose face was still red from all the drinks. "Hey, I'm going to take you home. The cab will be here in just a few, but I'll need your address," he said.

They had only known for a week so far so sharing addresses of course hadn't happened yet.

She had a playful smile and leaned in closer. She lost balance a little and grabbed onto his arm for support. He could feel her breasts press onto his arm. They were smaller and firmer than what he was used to from Jackie and Kate, both of whom fell onto the more curvy side of things while Vanessa had a sporty and slightly muscular physique instead. Not that he was complaining, he could appreciate different things about each of them.

She looked at him with a smile. "Oooh, what a gentleman," she teased.

He smiled. "Does that make you a lady?" he teased back.

She smirked. "Of course I'm a lady!" she said proudly.

Dave couldn't help but chuckle. Lady was nowhere near the first thing he thought when thinking of Vanessa.

She pouted. "Don't you laugh at me!" she said.

This just made him smile more though as it was rather cute seeing this side of her. It was refreshing compared to her usual outgoing and feisty self.

He shook his head. "Ok, but for real. What's your address?" he asked.

She smiled playfully. "Wouldn't you like to know," she asked.

He rolled his eyes. "No, but the cab driver definitely will," he retorted.

She stuck out her tongue. "Oh boo, you're no fun," she said.

He shot her a glance and finally she gave him the address.

It didn't take long for the cab to arrive. There were lots of them downtown this time of night.

In the backseat of the cab Vanessa leaned against him her head settling on his shoulder. He was sure she wouldn't last much longer, he had probably made the right decision taking her home just to be safe. He didn't want something to go wrong or someone to take advantage of her.

When they finally got to her place he had to shake her a little to get her to realise.

"Hmm what?" she murmured before waking up completely.

He smiled. "We're here," he told her.

He asked the cab driver to wait a little while he dropped her off since he still needed a drive home.

As they walked over to her front door Dave looked over at Vanessa. "That was fun, I don't get to do that often," he said.

She nodded. "Me too, I've been so busy," she said.

"We should do it again sometime,"

She nodded and started to open her front door when she suddenly paused. She turned around and seemed a little more flushed than before her eyes looking at him intensely.

She stepped closer to him and he tilted his head in confusion.

Before he realised she had pressed herself against him, wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him down and met his lips with hers. Once he broke from his shock he wrapped his around around her waist and started kissing back. Her hand slipped under his t-shirt getting a good feel of his chest.

Her lips managed to open his and her tongue slipped past them to find his deepening the kiss further. A subdued moan leaked from her mouth as she indulged herself enjoying the moment. His hands moves down her hips settling below her shapely ass holding onto her firmly.

Her arms around his neck tightened. He could feel her breasts rub against his chest. Her ass filling his hands. Her tongue feverishly wrestled with his.

He wasn't sure how long the kiss lasted, eventually they broke apart still holding each other gazing into each other's eyes feverishly. Both of them seemed unsure about what they did and what to do. Eventually Vanessa let go breaking away from him and went inside quickly. "Thanks," she said quietly before closing the door leaving Dave still dazed on her doorstep.

It took a little bit for him to process what had just happened. He walked back towards the cab still trying to figure out how things had turned out that way. It occupied his mind the entire drive home, not thinking about other things until they arrived at his home reminding him of what would be happening the next day.

When he got home Jackie was excited and greeted him with a big hug. "Congratulations! Did you have fun?" she asked.

He smiled hugging her back. "Thanks. Yeah it was nice," he said.

He sat her down on the couch. "We need to talk about tomorrow," he said.

Jackie looked at him nervously. She had been trying not to think about this very topic. Eventually she reluctantly nodded. "Ok," she said.

He wrapped his arms around her to reassure her. "Unless something comes up they should be letting him come home tomorrow. You shouldn't pick him up and don't be home alone with him until I get home," he said

She buried her head in his chest and nodded meekly humming in agreement.

He gently rubbed her back. "I don't know how he will be reacting, so I don't want you to be the first one to meet him once he comes back. At least not alone. Since no police have shown up he either doesn't remember exactly what happened or didn't want to admit to what happened. We can only see how he behaves once he comes back and go from there," he continued.

He pulled back so he could look her in the eyes. "No matter what I'll be here to protect you, ok?" he said with determination.

She looked into his eyes and his confidence seemed to be contagious as some determination entered her gaze.

She hesitated for a moment. "I don't want to be with him anymore," she said.

NeToRi System 53 – Graduation Celebration

Dave blushed. "Well, I'll look forward... to both," he said.

She smirked enjoying his reactions. "So will I," she teased.

They enjoyed the dinner, the food and service was impeccable. They even shared a nice dessert.

Jackie scooped up a spoonful of the tiramisu, but held it up to him instead.

It took him a moment, but he quickly took a bite with a wide smile. Inspired by her he ended up doing the same which they continued until the slice they were sharing was gone faster than they expected.

They had been relatively well behaved during dinner, but once they got home all brakes were off as they finally vented the lust that had been building up for the past few hours. They just kept going until they passed out together in bed. They could worry about the mess the next day.

The last day of the course was a little different than the others as instead of focusing on cramming in the knowledge an experience they needed most of the afternoon was spent going over the things they learnt to make sure they had picked up enough of the knowledge required.

Though it wasn't as formal and rigorous as a test at school since they would still have the capability to brush up on their experience a little during the apprenticeship if they performed too bad they could still be denied the apprenticeship. No one wanted to have an apprentice that couldn't even learn the basics after all. If they failed they would either need to give up or re-take the entire course including the fee associated with it.

Their instructor walked back in to their tiny classroom at the end of the day. He had a serious look on his face, which was unusual since he usually had a very sunny disposition. "So I know you've all worked hard for the past week. Just hard work isn't always enough though..." he said.

Vanessa looked very nervous and even Jake seemed a little worried.

Dave wasn't very concerned. He felt it would be strange if he didn't pass. He was convinced if even he didn't pass then no one in this week's class passed.

Finally a smile broke upon the instructor's face. "But I'm happy to say in this case it was. You all passed. We will email you the schedules of who you can apprenticeship with so you know when to come to the gym for this period," he announced.

Vanessa had a relieved smile. "Yes! Now we need to celebrate! We're going for drinks," she said excitedly. She didn't even think about how Dave was technically still below the legal drinking age. With how tall and broad he was now it was easy to forget though because it made him seem a little older than he really was.

Dave smiled watching her infectious excitement. "Ok. You're in charge this evening then," he said.

She shot Jake a look that told him he didn't have much of a choice so he ended up hesitantly nodding in agreement.

The instructor watched them with a smile. "Well I would join you, but I have plans with my fiancee so it'll just have to be you three tonight. Maybe we can make up for it some other time as co-workers," he said.

Vanessa quickly dragged Dave and Jake towards the changing rooms, excited to get started on their night on the town. She pushed them towards the entrance to the men's locker room. "Hurry up and finish up quick," she said before heading through the door to the women's locker room.

Despite her hurry Dave and Jake still ended up getting out first. When she finally did she dragged the two of them to a bar downtown. She decided where they were going since Dave was too young to know where to go and Jake.... was Jake. He was a nice guy, but he definitely wasn't the life of any party. Neither of them expected him to provide good bars to go to so they didn't ask.

They ended up in a pretty nice place. It was a bar focused more on having fun with friends than living it up by dancing and purely finding someone to take home by the end of the night. There were various tables for pool, air hockey, foosball. There were dart board on the walls and even a few arcade machines. All sorts of things for people to play together while enjoying their drinks.

One thing they learned rather quickly was that Vanessa had a slight competitive streak as she insisted on do-overs regularly when one of them, mostly Dave, beat her at one of the games. Thankfully though competitive, she wasn't too sore a loser and it was all in good fun. Another was that Jake apparently couldn't hold his liquor very well as he started flushing after even his first drink which got a chuckle out of them. It also helped him loosen up a little. He was still the more uptight one among them, but a little more talkative than he usually was.

To Dave's relief he managed to get drinks without being carded. It seemed with the improved physique this was happening less and less. Due to this they were able to enjoy the night freely. Halfway into the evening Jake ended up having to leave. Something about his mom and the next day. That didn't stop Dave and Vanessa though who continued playing games and getting progressively more drunk throughout the night.

They were having fun together and getting to know each other a little more. Though they had spoken a little during classes they had still been more acquaintances rather than friends since they hadn't had enough time to get to know each other better, but spending some time outside of the classes and with alcohol involved seemed to be changing that.

Dave wasn't doing too bad, but Vanessa who was like a foot shorter and probably at least 50 pounds(22.6 kg) lighter than him just couldn't handle the same as he could. It seemed she was the kind to become a slightly flirty drunk from what he was seeing. By the end of the night he decided to take her home, because he didn't completely trust her getting home without issues in her current shape.

NeToRi System 52 – Taboo Date

He ended up taking her to a pretty nice restaurant. Nothing too crazy, but definitely something a regular 18 year old couldn't afford. He still had some money left over after paying for the personal trainer course out of the money he took from his father's secret emergency stash. He was sure his father would just "love it" if he knew he was paying for his wife to go on an expensive romantic date with his son. That just made it even sweeter though.

She smiled watching him open the door for her. It had been a long time since she last went on a romantic date. Those stopped happening with her husband shortly after the marriage was done. Most good things stopped happening after that point. Finally things were looking up though. She had experienced more happiness in the past few weeks than she had in years.

She had even stopped caring that her stepson she had been helping raise since he was 13 was the reason. The massive changes he seemed to have gone through both physically and mentally over the past few weeks helped separate the two in her mind though reducing any shame she was feeling. He wasn't her stepson, he was her lover.  'And perhaps her boyfriend,' she thought with a small blush.

The waiter took them to their reserved table for two. The lights just dim enough to where the atmosphere felt cosy despite the people around them while still being able to enjoy each other's company.

Dave pulled out her chair to help her sit down before taking a seat himself.

Jackie looked around before looking at him with a warm smile. "This is nice," she told him.

He chuckled lightly. "Then it was worth it," he said.

After the waiter brought them their drinks Dave ordered an appetiser for them to share. Despite his age they didn't actually card him when he ordered an alcoholic drink to go with his meal.

Since she left her hand on the table he reached out rubbing it gently.

They spent the time talking about everything in their lives other than the situation with his father, her husband. Instead they didn't talk about him at all rather enjoying their first date as any other normal couple would, wanting to learn more about their partner. Jackie couldn't help but smile a lot feeling like she was finally getting something she had been missing for the longest time. She had enjoyed their budding relationship... really enjoying it. However until now it had still felt somewhat incomplete.

For Dave the date was rather fresh. Though he had recently had his first date with Kate this one was very different. Where that one was filled with youthful excitement and outright sexual provocation this one felt more mature and even sensual. Not that one was necessarily better than the other, just different. Them being so different actually enhanced both of them since it was an entirely different and fresh experience making him enjoy both more than he would have otherwise.

Jackie cut into her filet mignon medallion revealing the ever so slightly red interior. "So what will you be doing after you complete the course tomorrow?" she asked.

Dave got the porterhouse himself. It might not be quite as tender as the filet mignon, but he needed some more meat to satisfy himself. Ever since he got his father's ability and started working out his appetite had skyrocketed.

"Well there will be the apprenticeship starting immediately after. That will last until they either determine I'm ready and assign me a client or I manage to get one of my own. That might take a little, but I hope it won't be too long," he said. He took a sip of his XX to whet his throat.

"Since that will give me more free time than the course was I am planning to join a MMA gym to brush up on my martial arts technique. When I don't have to be in the classes for hours every day and the entire weekend I should be able to do that for at least a few hours a week instead," he said.

For a regular person a couple hours a week would be nowhere near enough to become outstanding at something, but he had already noticed the benefits [Enhanced Neuroplasticity]. He was able to pick up new things much faster than before requiring at most half the repetition that it did before, possibly even one fourth. It was hard to guage the exact difference, but it was significant.

He could just practice his combat techniques for only four hours a week and walk away with somewhere between 8 and 16 hours worth of experience. Not only that, but it also synergised with [Hypertrophic Hyper Responder] which would also help build the muscles he used during those training sessions faster than normal. So there was no need to spend hours a day on it to make progress anymore. Although [Enhanced Neuroplasticity] wasn't as overpowered as [Hypertrophic Hyper Responder] it was still an extremely useful ability since it helped him in just about anything he did. As long as skill and experience was involved it would be useful.

A wider smile broke onto her lips. It wasn't hard to guess why he was planning on doing that and it warmed her heart. "That will be nice," she simply said.

Dave looked into her eyes with a warm smile. "That's enough about me though. What about you?" he asked.

She nodded shyly. "W-well I've been thinking about going to this Mexican cooking class to expand my range in the kitchen," she said. She had always loved cooking for her loved ones. Something that had unfortunately been dulled over the years spent with her husband, but she was finally getting joy out of it once again inspiring her to do more.

"Oh, I love Mexican food. Then again, who doesn't?" he said with a chuckle.

Her smile widened. "I'll make sure to let you try plenty of it..." she said.

She playfully ran her hand up his arm from his hand. "...and me," she added much quieter with a blush.

NeToRi System 51 – A Couple Things

Dave enjoyed his day off from the personal trainer course. No need to rush somewhere right after school giving him the opportunity for a nice drawn out goodbye spent with Kate after school in a little abandoned corner of the school grounds. She was really hesitant to leave without him. Nothing a few more kisses couldn't solve.

All that was left was two days of the weekend before he was done with the course and would start his apprenticeship. Though his pay during the apprenticeship would be peanuts he was still excited to get started on working with actual clients and hopefully get one of his own soon enough.

He arrived home to the gentle sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen, his breath only slightly elevated from the jog home. He breathed in deep enjoying the moment where he could come home without having to worry about his father's presence.

Jackie was in the kitchen humming to herself preparing some kind of rice dish and chopping vegetables which had drawn him there. The smell of garlic and onion lingered, whetting his appetite. He licked his lips. Jackie was wearing an apron over some tight jeans and t-shirt that did nothing to hide her impressive figure. Maybe his appetite for food wasn't the only one she was whetting.

He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a gently kiss on the neck. She smiled warmly.

"Welcome home dear," she said lovingly and turned her head so she could give him a kiss on the cheek.

"It smells amazing..." he told her.

"Great. I-" she started saying.

"... and you look amazing," he continued, accidentally interrupting her.

She smiled with a soft blush. "Thanks," she said. She ground her ass against his crotch as if to tempt him.

He gulped. She could be a real vixen.

"Is there anything I can help with?" he asked her.

"Sure, can you..." she started saying.

He ended up helping her out preparing dinner, flirting with her throughout which she happily returned. They enjoyed simply not having to worry about his father's presence for a little bit and just enjoying the little things together.

During the evening they ended up on the couch watching some tv, he could barely even remember what is was since really they just wanted to cuddle together on the couch and he was far too distracted to be paying close attention to the tv.

Dave was gently stroking Jackie's side. He was feeling a little nervous, but eventually made up his mind. "How about we go on a date after I get out of class tomorrow?" he asked. The nerves were because despite the fact that they had escalated their relationship really fast and done some very daring things they hadn't really done any of the stuff that came with the start of a new relationship and he wasn't 100% confident in what their relationship was exactly. He was determined to establish it as a legitimate relationship though and not just some kind of combination of revenge, lust, and venting their feelings.

Now was the perfect time since his father wouldn't be back home until at least Monday meaning they wouldn't even need to cover for their date.

Jackie was watching the TV, but he could see the blush forming on her face. After a few moments she nodded though. "I'd like that," she said quietly. She seemed just as nervous as him.

Finally having his answer he felt a wave of relief wash over him.

They spent the rest of the evening like a regular couple enjoying each other's company. The night was no different though as they made full use of her bed as a young couple ought to.

Saturday's class went by like a flash, all of them were excited to near the end of the course. Dave had made some calls to reserve some seats at a nicer restaurant.

By the time he got back home Jackie was already eagerly awaiting. She looked amazing. She had dressed to the nines wearing a stylish black spaghetti strap dress dress that came down to just above her knees with a slit down the side revealing some of her creamy thigh. The dress hugged her curves. Her willowy waist just emphasised her impressive chest and hips even more.

The lightly applied make-up to emphasise her best features was the cherry on top.

Just looking at her was making him gulp. He was feeling kind of thirsty all of the sudden. It took him a few moments to snap out of it causing Jackie to giggle. It was always a good feeling to know you still had it.

She walked over to him slowly and seductively, her hips swaying as she did. She placed her hand on his chest and looked up into his eyes. "Welcome home dear," she said in a teasing tone.

He smiled awkwardly, but gave her a kiss. "I missed you. Give me just a little bit," he said.

Quickly extricating himself from her he rushed up to his room, thankfully he had already done half of his showering and grooming at the gym so finishing getting ready and changing into an appropriate outfit didn't take him too long.

She was still waiting for him when he came rushing back down the stairs giving him a charming smile.

"Oh, I'm liking what I see," she said playfully looking him up and down. It wasn't anything too special since he hadn't had much of a chance to update his wardrobe yet and was still holding off on doing too much due to the rapid changes his body was still experiencing. He was wearing his best jeans, but had put on an actual dress shirt to not look too sloppy beside her. She appreciated the way the shirt hugged his new physique.

He gave her a warm smile. "Not as much as I am. Shall we get going?" he asked.

She blushed a little thinking of how she was his stepmother and they were actually about to go out on a date in public. She nodded firmly though.

NTR System 50 – Envious Thoughts

This time didn't go according to plan as Dave managed to hit it dead on sending it flying full force with a loud crack. Dave immediately let go of the bat and dashed for first base. The others on the bases did the same.

"Homerun!" the Coach yelled.

All of them slowed down as they didn't need to rush anymore jogging across the bases and home base instead.

Their entire team except Mara was cheering. She seemed unsure whether she should be excited about their team scoring a bunch of points or unhappy that her boyfriend lost again. The end result was her looking kind of like she was constipated.

Jeffrey had a somewhat defeated look as he just stood on the pitcher's mound aimlessly. Not only had he failed to get his revenge on Dave, but he had caused his team to suffer a massive defeat due to his incompetence.

When Dave made it past the home plate and back to the bench his team actually congratulated him excitedly with a few of them high-fiving and fist bumping him. This was a rather fresh experience for him since he had been the least popular and bullied member of all classes for many years now.

Kate met him with a big hug. "That was crazy!" she said.

He smiled back at her. "Yeah, I didn't expect that," he agreed.

Mara looked annoyed and was the only one that hadn't congratulated him yet. "It wasn't that impressive. Just lucky," she said.

Kate snorted and hugged Dave tighter. She seemed to be feeling a little possessive. "Someone seems to be feeling a little jealous," she said sarcastically.

Mara looked like she had swallowed a bug. She wasn't used to being upstaged, let alone by someone like Kate. "Who would feel jealous? You're simply the best he can do," she retorted.

Kate sported a knowing smirk. "His new muscles aren't the only thing big on him," she said. This caused the girls on their team that were close enough to listen in to blush as they looked down at his crotch before looking away. Even Mara's cheeks turned ever so slightly pink.

Mara coughed awkwardly. "H-how classless," she managed to stammer out.

Kate raised her brow. "Oh? Does that mean you haven't seen all of 'your boyfriend'?" she asked snarikly. She was enjoying being able to clap back at one of the popular girls for once in her life and it felt amazing.

She had unintentionally put her in a no-win situation. Either she said they had never even seen or touched each other below the waist painting Jeffrey as some kind of simp loser or she said they had and everyone would believe she was not better than Kate. No she was even worse because she would be saying she was a hypocrite on top of being loose.

Mara's face was turning even redder, but it wasn't just embarrassment anymore. She eventually just ignored them not being able to figure out how to deal with question.

To taunt Mara even further when Dave sat down Kate sat down in his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. It really seemed he wasn't the only one that cared if her boyfriend found out anymore. He hadn't heard whether she had broken up with her boyfriend after they slept together, but he didn't really care anymore either. He already got his reward so he wasn't risking losing out on anything if they did break up.

He wrapped his arms around her hips pulling her in closer without care.

Mara spent the rest of gym class doing her best to ignore them, but something that did stand out was when class ended Jeffrey went up to her trying to get some attention and make himself feel a little better. However rather than indulge him she wasn't having any of it and actually intentionally avoided him going to the girls locker rooms without saying anything to him at all. It seemed she felt he had publically embarrassed her and she didn't feel like taking care of his feelings regarding the situation. Her image and reputation were most important to her at the end of the day.

She was with him because he was popular and them being together increased her social standing, yet now because she was tied to him as his girlfriend he was repeatedly dragging her down after suffering loss after loss and even getting beaten up twice by the loser she had discarded. Her social gains were being lost and she actually blamed Jeffrey for it even more than she blamed Dave since Jeffrey kept causing the situations. She would have been happy if he looked for payback and got it, but by failing he was slowly turning himself and indirectly her into a laughingstock.

Dave wasn't surprised though, he knew how easily she could drop someone if they didn't perform the way she expected them to and didn't help her reputation. Jeffrey was just getting a little taste of what he had gotten for years now.

Jeffrey spent most of the day glaring at Dave with impotent rage, but wasn't able to do anything yet as the last few times he had tried doing so it had backfired on him rather badly. Noticing the shifting dynamics some of his classmates warmed up to him some, but Dave was still cautious about interacting with them. They hadn't cared to get to know him when he was on the bottom after all. The only ones he would be more interested in were any of the girls that could gain him some rewards.

His main focus during class remained Kate though. He might have gotten his reward already, but he wasn't just going to abandon the women that had already given him rewards unless they had wronged him. He might not be monogamous with them, but as long as they remained faithful and loyal to him he wouldn't abandon them and they could enjoy growing along with him.

Of course the moment they stopped being loyal was the moment he would be done with them. It wasn't something that would surprise him. After all if they cheated on others to be with him then they could also cheat on him to be with others. He wasn't delusional. The only thing he had going for himself was that he planned to become better than any of their alternatives which should reduce the amount that wasn't able to remain loyal.

Throughout the day he sometimes caught Mara looking at him with a conflicted look, but just shrugged it off. Things still needed time to develop to his taste.

New Year New Schedule

First off Happy New Year! Thanks for supporting me.

I'm going to try shifting to a new release schedule at least for the patreon releases. The public releases will remain the same for the moment, but might change down the line depending on how successful I am in maintaining the new patreon release schedule.

The main differences are that rather than just cycling through Hollow System, NeToRi System, and Lucifer Quirk which lead to each week having an extra chapter of any of those stories now it will be a fixed release meaning I will be shooting for releasing the chapters for specific novels on specific days.

This will mean that Hollow System would now be getting 3 chapters every week while NeToRi System and Lucifer Quirk remain at 2 chapters every week. Since Hollow System has by far the most patrons(more than all the others put together) it seemed like the fairest one to bump up to a permanent 3 per week.

The other change would be the addition of 1 chapter of Fiction Simulator/I Can Simulate Fictional Worlds per week. This will bump my releases up to 8 chapters per week total. I will be seeing how this goes with my time and adjust as I see fit. This might mean if it's too much I might drop back to 7 a week or if it goes well I'll try to increase the amount of chapters per week even further.

The schedules I'll be shooting for are listed below:

Public Release Schedule

Saturday: Lucifer Quirk
Sunday: Hollow System
Monday: NeToRi System
Tuesday:
Wednesday: Lucifer Quirk
Thursday: Hollow System
Friday: NeToRi System

Patreon Release Schedule:

Saturday: Hollow System
Sunday: NeToRi System

Lucifer Quirk - Christmas ’23 Omake – 1A’s First Christmas Part 10

Luke 2:15

When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”

To reward her new strategy he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer. Something she definitely approved of as her pout turned into a smile.

Himiko smirked wrapping her arms around his waist from behind and pressing herself against his back. "Have fun?" she asked.

He smirked. "It wasn't bad," he responded.

"Better than right now?" she teased. Both her and Momo were pressing their onto him seductively.

He shook his head. "Maybe? It could still be better," he teased back.

Momo bit her lower lip. Part of her didn't like Himiko and him having this conversation, but another wanted to be a part of it.

She pressed her head into the crook of his neck nuzzling him before teasing him with a kiss on the neck.

Himiko smirked watching Momo, but didn't say anything just enjoying the moment they shared. Unlike Momo she had long gotten over having to share James with others. Momo not as much, but it was improving slowly.

The singer that invited him up performed a few more songs before she swapped out with the next performer.

Everyone seemed relaxed enjoying the music and events of the celebration until the ball drop was nearing.

Quite a few of the girls around him grew nervous looking at the time and towards James. Some looked nervous, some excited, and some with expectation.

James was looking around and actually noticed a few of the girls he was close with sticking close to him. There were of course the usual suspects like Himiko, Momo and Mina. Even Tsuyu and Nemuri weren't very far off. Toru was surprisingly missing though.

Of course the whole class wasn't too far from one another, but the girls were noticeably gathered around him.

Once the countdown started along with the Time Square Ball's descent the whole crowd started going wild as the hosts hyped them up from the stage.

Before the ball actually fully dropped a naked Toru snuck up to him using her invisibility to hide from everyone. She quickly wrapped her arms around him giving him a kiss that quickly turned passionate as she slipped her tongue past his opened lips. He returned the kiss without hesitation, but it didn't last long. After stealing a kiss under all the other girls' noses just as quickly as she came she rushed off red with embarrassment seconds before the ball drop finished.

The first to actually kiss him after the ball dropped was Himiko who was already right next to him and didn't hesitate to kiss him publicly. Unafraid to show off their relationship as she enjoyed his lips.

Momo quickly pulled him away from Himiko. "Now it's my turn," she said and gave him an aggressive possessive kiss as if she wanted to override Himiko's kiss with her own.

James just went along with it returning the kiss. Eventually he had to break the kiss though as Momo wouldn't have stopped otherwise.

He noticed a somewhat shy Mina standing nearby looking troubled as if she wasn't sure what do do.

Unlike here James was sure about what to do though. He wrapped his arm around her waist pulling her in up against him and give her a kiss on the lips. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly melted into his embrace forgetting about the situation and simply enjoying the moment.

An involuntary moan escaped her lips.

Ochaco who was standing near Izuku caught a glimpse of them and gulped nervously.

Nemuri who was with them for safety reasons was looking on with a slight jealous glint in her eyes. She wanted to give him a New Year's kiss too, but couldn't publicly due to their relationship as teacher and student getting in the way.

Since he didn't want to leave Tsuyu out he went up to her and pulled her in as if he was going to give her a romantic kiss then gave her a peck on the cheek.

Tsuyu blushed ever so slightly. "That's not fair," she mumbled. She gave him a peck on the cheek back before quickly rushing to Mina and Toru, who had returned fully dressed once again, to escape from him.

He did the same with Itsuka and Kyoka though slightly less intimately than he had with Tsuyu as his relationship with those two had improved, but not to the same level. At least not yet.

Ibara and Ochaco were the real outliers. Ibara only allowed a congratulatory hug while Ochaco was more focused on and standing near Izuku with high expectations. Unfortunately Izuku was as oblivious to her intentions as usual leading to neither of them getting a New Year's kiss, much to the girls chagrin.

After giving him a few more moments to realise it without success she eventually stomped off and gave James a friendly hug instead before joining Mina, Toru and Tsuyu.

The night didn't last too long after the ball drop, at least not for them as they needed to pack up and head back the next day so they couldn't stay up too late. They only had another day after the return flight before it was time to go back to school, but everyone returned energised and ready for a new year.

Happy New Year to everyone that's been following along with the story!

This will be the conclusion of the Omake. It ended up a little longer than I expected going into it. I was planning on using my time off of work to do 1 chapter a day from Christmas day though New Years Eve to celebrate the two holidays for a total of 7 chapters, but it ended up ballooning to 10 chapters instead.

We will be back to our regular programming in just a couple of days.

NTR System 49 – Ball Games

Dave's team ended up being on defence first. They grabbed the mits and headed out to the field.

The girls avoided the bases like the plague leaving it up to the guys to cover those. He ended up becoming the pitcher himself.

He looked back at Kate who was in the outfield hoping no one would need to rely on her severely lacking baseball skills, but she gave Dave an encouraging thumbs up when he looked at her.

Mara, who was also in the outfield, sneered at her. "You make such a cute couple. Two losers. A match made in heaven." she said sarcastically.

Kate rolled her eyes. "Right... and whose boyfriend ganged up one someone with two friends and still got beaten up so hard he couldn't come to school the next day?" she asked facetiously causing Mara to grumble. It did cause Mara to stop antagonising her though which excited her.

Things were going well and he was even able to eliminate a few batters.

Their team was getting quite excited since the other team had only managed to score a few points and their turn as batters was almost coming up.

Finally Jeffrey was up to the home plate as batter. He sneered at Dave.

"You can do it baby!" Mara yelled from the outfield.

Dave just rolled his eyes not expecting much from Jeffrey.

Jeffrey swung a few times to loosen up before stepping up to the plate.

Dave wound up and threw the baseball. Jeffrey looked confident and swung, but missed completely leading to some embarrassment.

"Strike," Coach Brown said.

Jeffrey looked kind of frustrated, but took a deep breath to calm down and get ready for the next pitch.

Dave caught the ball that the catcher threw back with a smirk which only annoyed Jeffrey further.

Dave threw the ball again. Despite not having a lot of experience in baseball he managed to score another strike as the equally inexperienced Jeffrey swung wildly and missed again.

"Strike two!" Coach Brown announced.

Jeffrey was turning red, but managed to contain himself. He knew how to behave himself around the teachers to keep his reputation at least passable.

On the third pitch Jeffrey managed to luck out and he hit the ball head on. This actually sent the ball hurtling straight for Dave's face.

With the surge of adrenaline everything seemed to slow down for Dave. He could see Jeffrey's venomous smirk when he noticed the ball was going to hit him in the face. Jeffrey dropped the bat and started running towards first base excitedly. Dave could also see the ball closing in rapidly.

They weren't actually wearing helmets so getting hit in the head was actually a concern. Thankfully he managed to lift his hand to catch the ball moments before it hit his face. He sighed in relief as the adrenaline rush wore off his breathing still rapid trying to calm him down along with his palpitating heartbeat.

Kate standing in the outfield jumped excitedly. "Great job!" she shouted.

Then Dave immediately threw the ball to second base to eliminate another of Jeffrey's team mates.

Jeffrey hadn't even managed to make it to first base.

"And you're out!" Coach Brown yelled.

Jeffrey wasn't able to contain his anger anymore. "Fuck!" he yelled stomping off the field.

When Jeffrey got back to the bench he looked over to Mara, but instead of support when she saw him look at her she looked away from him seemingly embarrassed by his performance. He gritted his teeth shooting an aggravated glare at Dave, dumping all the blame on him instead.

Dave seeing their little interaction could only feel just a little bit of happiness. Step one of his plan was destroying Jeffrey's social status and making Mara disappointed with him after all. If she also happened to feel regret over trying to use and abandon him, that would be the cherry on top. He didn't believe she had enough of an actual heart to feel bad about what she did to him, but she was narcissistic enough to regret missing out on the better option if he managed to prove he had been the better choice and she had missed it.

The rest of Jeffrey's team seems disappointed since not only had he been struck out, but had even managed to get another eliminated.

The rest of the inning passed rather quickly and Jeffrey's team had only managed to score a few more points.

The teams switch and Jeffrey seems adamant to be the pitcher. Could he make it any more obvious that he wants to try winning back some of his pride?

It seemed he was annoying his teammates even more after it turned out his performance wasn't anything impressive. He might even have managed more balls than strikes even leading to a few walks.

He didn't realise the looks they were shooting him though, too focused on Dave as he scooted closer and closer on the bench until it was finally his turn to go up as batter.

Dave grabbed a bat and stepped up to the home plate looking confident. Their team was ahead and all the bases were loaded.

A hush settled over both teams. Everyone was aware this moment was the reason Jeffrey had insisted on being the pitcher and ruined their inning. They were curious to see what would happen.

Jeffrey wound up and threw as best he could. Dave swung, but just barely missed the ball leading to his first strike.

Jeffrey smirked. He felt like it was his time for some payback.

Dave breathed in deeply to calm himself down before focusing back on the ball that was back in Jeffrey's hands. He pulled back the bat preparing for the next pitch.

Jeffrey threw as hard as he could trying to get another strike.

This time didn't go according to plan as Dave managed to hit it dead on sending it flying full force with a loud crack. Dave immediately let go of the bat and dashed for first base. The others on the bases did the same.

Luke 2:14

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

Her eyes brightened. "Oh my god, it IS you isn't it?!" she said.

Momo seemed to press herself into his side possessively. "Who is she?" she asked.

James shrugged. "I've got no clue," he responded nonchalantly.

He didn't even know who she was, let alone met her. She was cute enough to where he suspected he would remember her if he had.

Himiko raised her eyebrow in curiosity.

"I'm a huge fan!" the singer said.

James smiled politely. He thought that would be it, but it wasn't meant to be.

She looked over at some of the security. "Can he come up here?" she asked.

After a few moments it seemed she got some kind of permission.

She waved him over. "Come up here!" she said excitedly.

Wasn't it supposed to be him enjoying her performance?

Momo's eyes darted between the singer and James not sure what to do.

James shrugged and went up. He wasn't super thrilled to go up to an impromptu public performance, but some exposure couldn't hurt.

One of the techs handed him a regular handheld mic before he head on to the stage since unlike the performers who were mic'd he wasn't.

She hopped over him giving him a big hug. "It's so exciting to meet you. This is the best Christmas present ever. I'm your biggest fan. I've been following you since your Tokyo Rain shoot. There's so much I want to ask," she prattled excitedly.

She looked over at the crowd and had an awkward realisation. "Ah! I'm so sorry. I got a little distracted. So some of you might already know, but James here is a famous model from Japan. I've been a huge fan for years, but he disappeared from the scene a year ago. He hasn't even been posting on social media," she said ending with a pout.

James shot her a playful smile.

"Now imagine how surprised I was to see him at the U.A. sports festival," she said dramatically.

There were some murmurs in the crowd. The U.A. sports festival might be one of the biggest events of the year in Japan, but it didn't have near the same fame in the rest of the world. Most of all in the United States which had their own events. After it being brought up though some recalled having seen him.

All Might did have some fame in the United States after all and him becoming a teacher for U.A. this year had brought some extra attention from Americans that it usually wouldn't have had.

"Of course I wanted to congratulate you, but also wanted to ask what your plans for the future. Are you done with modelling?" she asked.

He smirked. "It isn't a priority at the moment, but who knows..." he said casually, leaving it up in the air. If his mom needed him he would probably help her out, but modelling itself was just a means to an end. Not something that interested him all that much for its own sake.

"For the next few years I'll be focusing on my training at U.A. though so I hope everyone can support me in my dream to be. hero," he said.

The audience cheered loudly. Heroes were kind of just the most popular type of celebrity in this world. The job was like being a police officer and some kind of idol all wrapped in one. At least it meant the pay was much better than for a police officer. Well for those heroes with some popularity. For the complete unknowns the difference probably wasn't all that much.

James smiled giving them a dramatic bow. "Thank you, thank you very much," he joked getting some chuckles from the crowd.

She actually looked a little nervous. "Sadly I'm not the only one here and don't have a lot of time. Since you are up here, how about I sing you a song? Which song would you like me to sing?" she asked.

He didn't actually know any of her songs, but rather than admit to this instead he smirked and teased: "I think it would be more interesting if you sang the song you would most like to sing to me."

She blushed, but a smile broke unto her lips. "Ok, let me see... Oh I know," she muttered.

She went on to sing a poppy romantic song about love and longing. Rather than playing to the crowd it was obvious she was playing to him as if he had been the love interest the song was about. Some of the girls in the crowd screamed in excitement.

It was at least an interesting experience. He hadn't ever been serenaded on stage before and who knows if it would ever happen again. He humoured her by going along with it and watching her with a warm smile. He didn't mind if she got the wrong impression and as a star the chances of her actually expecting too much from him was minimal.

Although it wasn't really his kind of music he had to admit she was a talented singer and performer.

She came back over to him her breathing a little rushed recovering from performing.

He smiled watching her. "That was great," he praised her.

She blushed, probably reading way too much into his praise.

"W-well as much as I hate to say goodbye already I think I'm not alone in wishing you good luck in becoming a hero," she said with some of the crowd cheering along with her.

Before he got off stage she covertly slipped him a piece of paper with her phone number on it. "Call me," she whispered.

When he got back to his spot Momo was giving him a disapproving glare that he simply ignored. Seeing that it wasn't working she changed strategy with the glare turning to a pout as she glommed on to him making sure her breasts noticeably pressed into his side.

Merry Christmas to everyone that's been following along with the story!

Lucifer Quirk - Christmas ’23 Omake – 1A’s First Christmas Part 8

Luke 2:13

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

The rest of the week went by in a flash.

They did a variety of things, seeing the sights of New York City.  Of course they had to visit all of the cliche spots. If not to say they saw them at least because for the school because he sold it to them as a school trip.

Since it was right around the corner from the hotel they visited Central Park a few times.

They went to the Statue of Liberty ended up taking up most of a day between the boat trip there and back and the many lines. Sometimes it sucks not being allowed to use your powers publicly. If this was in Japan he might consider breaking some of those rules and simply using his family's influence to cover it up, but going too far in another country would be rather stupid. He didn't have that kind of influence. At least not yet.

Visited the Empire State building to see one of the best views of the city.

Walked the Brooklyn Bridge.

Although they had already had one shopping trip the girls insisted on another so they went to Fifth Avenue for a second shopping trip. A lot of it was window shopping though given how expensive the stores were. James was nice enough to buy the girls some small things, but even he had his limits. Even if he had the money for it he wasn't going to buy whatever they wanted. The boys weren't really interested, but this was an argument the boys weren't winning.

The girls also insisted on checking out broadway and the theatre district.

Ibara was excited to go to the St. Patricks Cathedral so they spent a couple hours there. Even the rest of the class could appreciate the beautiful architecture even if the visit was nowhere near as meaningful as it was for Ibara herself.

The girls ended up loving their visit to Carnegie Hall. Dressing up and feeling like upper class ladies amused all of them, even those that usually wouldn't do such things. The boys didn't enjoy having to dress up and be well behaved for an entire evening near as much.

Nemuri and Hizashi were excited to take them to the American Museum Of Natural History. It was probably their most educational visit of the entire holiday.

The days were mostly spent together, but the nights were an entirely different story. James made sure every night was a party in the penthouse bringing in things like card & board & video games for game nights, projectors for movie nights, karaoke equipment for karaoke night, tea parties, the best chefs visiting to prepare dinner, anything they could wish for and money wasn't a concern.

James wasn't going to do the same for the boys who would just have to amuse themselves with the free included food service and amuse themselves at night. Probably just watching TV and playing video games together all night. He didn't really care though, they could figure it out. He was already paying to fly them to New York City, a week stay in a 5 star hotel with breakfasts and dinners included. If they wanted more than that they would have to pay for it themselves.

Nemuri was insatiable now that she had started, taking every moment they had alone to try to tempt him to the best of her ability while hiding their indiscretions from the class. Thankfully giving her her own room had been more than worth it since they could always retire to her room if no other options were available.

Himiko seemed to suspect something was going on, but as long as he gave her the same kind of attention she didn't seem to mind. Momo being in the same bedroom as them put a slight damper on things, but she wasn't deterred finding ways to squeeze things in literally and figuratively.

It was finally New Years eve and James had arranged to VIP passes for everyone to the Time Square New Years parties and events.

After getting dressed in their best outfits they all met in the hotel lobby downstairs. Unfortunately both teachers were coming along so the partying couldn't get too wild. Then again given that they were 15 year old hero students that might have been to much to expect from them anyway. Well most of them. He was sure Himiko and Mina knew how to party. Nemuri probably did too if she didn't have to watch a bunch of students.

The girls looked amazing. It was quite rare to see them not in their school outfits or hero costumes. Not only that, but they had dressed up wearing party clothes. Even Nemuri was wearing a slick little black thing that fit her curves just right and was definitely much more daring than any of the girls were comfortable wearing.

James had rented limousines and drivers to drop them all off and pick them up when needed.

When they got to one of the events they managed to be escorted in right away passing by all the regular people.

There was a stage that had various artists going up to perform a few songs. They were somewhat familiar with the biggest names, but any of the more obscure artists just didn't have the amount of fame for it to cross over to Japan.

Kyoka seemed very interested in all the musicians though she was a little disappointed that most of them weren't rockers and instead were pop stars, rappers and other artists of those kinds.

Things were going quite normally with everyone enjoying the festivities. There was some dancing, talking, mostly non-alcoholic drinks due to Nemuri and Hizashi's presence.

A cute girl went onstage. When she started singing they all felt energised. It seemed she had some kind of support Quirk that could affect people through her voice. She also sounded quite good and the party started getting even more lively. James suspected she was probably a hero too. A support power that could empower people like that even if only temporary was invaluable for heroes.

However when she ended her song she something suddenly seemed to catch her attention. "Is that James?" she said in surprise.

Merry Christmas to everyone that's been following along with the story!

NTR System 48 – Good Times Go Fast But Don't Last

The next few days went by rather uneventfully.

He had really been enjoying the time with his father out of the picture. He got to have all the fun he wanted with Jackie and spend the entire night with her as an actual couple rather than skulking around like thieves in the night. He couldn't wait for a time where he could live like this all the time.

His physique was still slowly improving as he continued to scale up his exercises as his rapidly body adjusted to them. He was going to have to buy some equipment for at home to continue scaling his exercises. At a certain point you couldn't really just keep increasing the amount of reps and sets you did without significantly increasing the time spent working out which he didn't want to do. Adding extra resistance would be a better way to continue pushing himself without increasing the duration.

Where he had noticed the biggest difference was in class. The effect of his new ability was becoming clearer to him as his studies seemed to be smoother than ever. Rather than having to revise the same information over and over he seemed to only need to read the material once to get a solid understanding of it and he seemed to have no issues remember it like some minor form of eidetic memory. It was really saving him a lot of time and improving his performance in class.

He noticed he couldn't really learn things he wouldn't have before, but what he could learn he learned with much less effort. He could already see this was going to save him a lot of time in the long run. Also if he gained abilities that further improved his cognitive abilities this should also let him expand the use of this ability even further by increasing the range of things he could learn at increased speed.

The best way to raise his cognitive ceiling would be stealing Jeffrey's ability. However Mara was a much harder target than Jackie and Kate had been. Jackie has been a perfect storm of circumstances. And not to demean Kate nor his former self, but her standards were far lower than Mara's as could be seen by each of their boyfriends. Jeffrey was the most popular guy in their grade while Brad was just some nobody.

Not only that, but Mara's ability also made her difficult to deal with. With her [Neural Empath] ability it took him almost all of his attention to maintain in a state of semi-self-hypnotism so she didn't realise he absolutely hated her guts now rather than felt hurt and was hoping to win her back somehow. Let alone actually trying to woo her to get into her pants.

He also didn't want to actually do too much for her since he still hated her. If he wanted to have revenge on her too he would need to make her feel as used and tossed away as she had made him feel. He didn't want her to feel like they were having some amazing relationship by the end of it. That would have to wait until further down the line though as despite his improvements and beating up of her boyfriend she hadn't quite accepted the new status quo yet if the glares she had been sending him were any indication. She actually talking down to him though so it was an improvement.

He had yet to find someone with a cognitive ability as good as Jeffrey's yet though so it remained very tempting on top of the desire for revenge.

He was getting quite surprised at how long it was taking Kate's boyfriend to speak up though. Ever since they had slept together and he got his reward he wasn't even trying to hide that they were more than friends in public and still nothing had happened. Now that he had received his reward he really would rather have the guy speak up so he could make it clear and make sure the guy was aware who's girl Kate actually was.

It was finally Friday. Dave woke up beside Jackie and looked at her with a smile, it stiffened a little when he thought about how his father should be returning home the next day. He wasn't quite sure what to expect. He hadn't gone to visit his father in the hospital and so far his father hadn't seemed to try reporting to the hospital or the police that he was responsible for his father falling and hitting his head. He wasn't sure why though and what might be going on in his father's head. He was trying to think of various courses of action he could take, but he wouldn't really know what to do until he saw what his father did when he returned.

His morning workout went by fast since he hadn't had a chance to get some weights yet. After a nice breakfast spent cuddling with Jackie and feeding each other he ran to school. He was now able to full on run rather than jog to school and arrive with energy left over.

This morning it was time for P.E. again, the weather was good so they ended up on the outside field. To warm up he had them play his personal version of Traffic Lights, where Green meant run, yellow meant jog, and red meant stay in place doing pushups.

After warming up Coach Brown told them they were doing baseball that day which caused a few cheers and groans to resound. He brought out all the baseball gear and made them help him with set up.

Once everything was set up the Coach divided the class up in two teams for the game. Dave was happy he ended up on the same team. Jeffrey ended up on the other team, but unfortunately for him he didn't get to team up with his jock buddies which were spread across both teams instead. Even Mara ended up on Dave's team.

Luke 2:12

And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

Momo coughed loudly. "Don't you have any other gifts to open?" she asked Toru. Her hints weren't very subtle.

Toru wasn't buying it though staying glued to James instead causing Momo to pout.

Nemuri was quiet. Her eyes darting between her last gift and James. It was a new riding crop. She gulped thinking about why he had given it to her along with that outfit.

For Mina he had also gotten a bunch of clothing, but also some make up that worked well with her unusual skin tone since she was in to that too. She pecked him on the cheek as thanks before skipping off to play with her new stuff.

Tsuyu received a thick book with descriptions of all known frog species and their characteristics. She appreciated it as a gag gift, but James had given it as a serious gift. He knew she was only scraping the surface of her Quirk and knowing more about the various abilities of frogs around the world might help her in the future. Rather than giving her more gift for herself he gave her a handheld gaming system with some games to give to her little brother and some sets of clothing and colouring books and supplies for her little sister.

He knew she would appreciate that a lot more than gifts for herself. He assumed it worked because after a rather dry thank you Tsuyu stared at him for quite a while. It would have been awkward if he didn't know that despite her straightforward personality she had issues physically showing her emotions.

Although it felt very awkward he actually got Ibara five books. It was the Meiji Original Version of the Bible. The oldest completely intact Japanese translation of the Bible surviving all the way from 1887. What may seem as a lame gift to just about anyone else excited the girl to no end. She even gave him a hug despite how inappropriate that was according to her. She even let him hug back for a moment when she did. How daring of her.

Itsuka was confused though. Her package looked huge. Big enough to hold a TV screen. But inside it were a bunch of cheap metal weights along with a smaller box. And another smaller box inside that. And another inside that. And another. All the way down until a box that could fit inside her palm. This one was different though it had a black velvet like exterior and a hinge.

She had been growing more and more frustrated as she kept unwrapping and opening useless box after useless box, but as soon as she got to what looked like a ring box she looked at James in a panic.

A few of the girls that were sitting around her gasped catching the attention of the rest of the group.

"N-n-no... you can't," she stuttered.

James gave her a warm loving smile giving her a nod to indicate she should open it.

Momo scowled at both of them.

Itsuka finally with shaking hands folded the box open. Except inside it wasn't a ring. Well there was a ring, but it was a keyring with two keys on it.

Itsuka went from nervous to confused real fast looking back up at James for some kind of explanation.

James smirked. "Come here for a moment. He said.

She brought the keys over.

James pulled out his phone and after messing with it for a bit he showed it to her. On the screen was a picture of a brand new Ducati motorcycle parked in the U.A parking lot. The model wasn't even out yet and it would take a few more months before they would show up in showrooms for sale.

Itsuka squealed and hugged him. After she calmed down though James suddenly dodged to the side with his head as he avoided a punch from her enlarged hand. "That's for tricking me," she said in a huff her eyes darting between the ring box and James. How dare he make her heart race like that... and all for a prank. She would get him back somehow.

James smirked again. "What's wrong gorgeous?" he teased.

"Oh shut up!" she retorted.

He could see a smile tug at her lips though whenever she looked at the keys.

For Kyoka he got a custom Fender Stratocaster that matched her style and also worked with her earphone jacks allowing her to use to to transmit and receive through the guitar itself as a type of amplifier both useful in making music with it and using it in her heroics if ever necessary. It was even structurally reinforced enough to function as a blunt force weapon if needed. You could swing it like a real axe, shredding both for fans and enemies alike.

After he was finished with it it might have been the most expensive guitar outside of those that have belonged to a famous artist.

She gave him a fist bump. She tried to play it off as if she wasn't that affected by the gift, but he could see the glint in her eyes when she looked at the guitar.

Ochaco was another one that had been hard. Unlike some of the others he believed if he just gave her a bunch of luxury goods like he had many of the others she would feel guilty towards her parents. Instead he gave her a smartphone to replace her old flip-phone though he made sure to get a rugged model so she didn't have to be too worried about breaking it. The other thing he got her was a special card that allowed her to get a free breakfast and dinner every day from the most common convenience store chain in Japan.

As silly as the gift seemed it actually brought the poor girl to tears due to how touched she was. Never again would she need to worry about her next meal. Well as long as she was in Japan at least.

Hollow System - Christmas ’23 Omake – Last Christmas Part 4

Hisashi ended up having to carry Reina again. Short legs were really a problem, but she didn't mind if she got to ride on her big brother like she was some kind of giant. Their parents were holding each other's hands watching the two of them with warm smiles.

They came across a bunch of stalls lining the way selling all kinds of street foods and drinks being prepared on the spot for all the people coming to the Meiji shrine for Hatsumode.

It didn't take long for Reina to see something that got her interest, pulling Hisashi's hair as if to steer him towards her target like he was her steed.

Her heels were digging into his chest. "Go there!" she screamed excitedly.

Hisashi sighed, but complied. "Ok, ok. I'm going. Calm down," he said.

It ended up being a stall that had a variety of candied fruit.

There was a slightly chubby man at the stall. "What would you like young lady?" he asked.

Reina got too shy to say anything so she just pointed towards the things she would like.

The man gave her a kind smile packing up the things she pointed at. "Was that everything you wanted?" he asked her.

She nodded shyly.

Hisashi smiled at the kind man and handed him the money. "Thank you," he said before joining their parents again.

They had gone and grabbed some hot drinks for them to share and warm up in the cold weather.

He grabbed one of the candied fruits from the box handing it up to Reina who happily accepted it.

At one of the stalls an elderly man was brushing yakitori(grilled chicken skewers) with teriyaki sauce while turning them over. They smelled so good it didn't take him long to decide what he wanted for a snack. The yakitori was juicy and had a nice char from the charcoal grill. The smoky meaty dish hit just right on his empty stomach.

It was nice to finally get some warm food and drinks in their belly after being on the move most of the morning.

They walked over to a takoyaki(octopus meatballs) stall. The man behind the counter used chopsticks to constantly flip the takoyaki that were cooking on the dimpled takoyaki hot plate with practiced precision.

When Hisashi placed his order the guy flicked the takoyaki out of the pan and into a container like a pro. It was rather impressive how dextrous the guy was.

Reina had an entirely different strategy as she kept going for all the different kinds of sweets, candies and deserts she could get.

Hisashi shared a few bites of his food with her to make sure she wasn't only eating sweets, because if given the chance she totally would.

She couldn't get enough of the candied strawberries that ended up being her favourite. Her chin was red and sticky with the juices, but that couldn't stop her enjoyment.

Hisashi was just worried about it dripping on top of his head so he quickly helped her wipe it off. She giggled trying to avoid his hands.

A young lady wearing an old-fashioned black and white maid outfit that came down to her calfs was watching Reina have fun with a soft bittersweet smile. She had sleek black hair put up in a tall bun was watching Reina having fun with a soft smile.

A pale young man with white hair and glasses wearing a tan suit turned to look back at her. "What is it? Aren't you coming Kanae?" he said. It was hard to tell whether he was upset with how even he was.

She shook her head and smiled back at him. "It's nothing young master," she said.

He was already walking off, too busy to enjoy the afternoon and celebrate the way the Saito family was. She quickly chased after him.

They walked around exploring the stalls and stores along Omotesando street only heading back to Harajuku station once it started getting late.

When they got home it was already time for dinner. Yuzuki brought out a large layered sleek black lacquer box. She had been preparing Osechi Ryori the last few days. When she unstacked the tiers each was revealed to be filled with a huge selection of dishes to convey their wishes for the new year. It was absolutely stuffed with food.

All four of them were excited to dig in. The main dish was the Nishime, which is a chicken and root vegetable stew.

Reina went straight for the candied chestnuts and sweet potatoes instead though. It seemed despite all the candy she ate during the day her sweet tooth was still not sated.

Yuzuki put some of the salmon kombu rolls on Hisashi's plate with a warm smile. "Here, I know how much you love these," she said.

Hisashi had always enjoyed the salmon kombu rolls. The combination of salty, savoury and umami was the best.

Hisashi nodded with a smile. "Thanks mother," he said.

"You have to make sure you eat enough," she said.

He grabbed some of the yellowtail teriyaki himself which had also turned out great. He was more of a sucker for the savoury flavours.

Their father was savouring the herring roe, that neither of the kids were big fans of. To each their own.

Meanwhile Yuzuki was nibbling on sweet black soybeans. They looked more like shiny black pearls than beans.

As a light desert there was enough mochi stuffed with red bean paste for all of them.

After their meal they relaxed over some nice tea while Reina started playing with her toys and stuffed animals, but it didn't last long.

By the time they finished their tea it was already late and Reina had fallen asleep on the couch, exhausted by the long and exciting day.

Hisashi picked her up taking her upstairs to her bedroom. He placed the already sleeping Reina in her bed tucking her in for good measure a small smile as he watched the cute little gremlin. She could really be cute and when nothing was distracting from it it became all the more obvious. Like when she was quiet and sleeping. Not that she couldn't be cute when awake.

"Hisashi-nii," she mumbled in her sleep.

He gently rubbed her head making sure not to wake her up.

Hollow System - Christmas ’23 Omake – Last Christmas Part 3

Hisashi's mom woke him up early. He was still groggy from staying up late.

It was the new year and today was time for Hatsumode, the first shrine visit of the year.

His mom wrapped a thick scarf around Reina's neck before putting a thick winter coat over it that covered most of her body, some warm gloves and to top it off a warm woolly hat to keep her head warm.

"Can't we play instead?" Reina asked innocently.

Yuzuki patted her on the head with a gentle smile. "No, we have to go offer our prayers," she said.

"Okay," Reina mumbled.

Hisashi smiled. "Come on. It'll be fun," he said trying to cheer her up.

Since it was New Years their father was off of work for once too so they could all go together.

They were going to the Meji shrine to celebrate Hatsumode.

Hisashi watched Reina cling on to their mother on their train ride to the shrine, doing her best not to fall as the train swayed.

"Harajuku station," the train speakers announced.

Finally after over an hour of traveling they were there.

They all shuffled out of the train and station. It was already crowded in the station and didn't get any better once they got out.

The large torii greeted them at the entrance to the shrine grounds. Usually this place would be rather calming, but due to Hatsumode there was a large crowd slowing them down as they

They shuffled their way through the nature trail leading to the shrine. Despite nervously holding on to his and their mom's hand tightly Reina was excited by all the birds she could hear coming from the trees surrounding them.

Since it took almost an hour to shuffle their way all the way to the shrine Reina eventually got tired hitching a ride sitting on Hisashi's shoulders instead as she gazed around while he struggled.

They passed a wall of colourful barrels. Reina pointed at them excitedly. "What are those?" she asked out of curiosity.

Atsuhiro smiled. "Those are drinks for the gods," he said.

"Oooh... can I try it?" she asked.

The three of them chuckled.

"No, those aren't meant for you. Even if they weren't for the gods though you're much too young," Yuzuki said.

Reina crossed her arms pouting, but sitting on Hisashi's shoulders meant this almost caused her to lose balance. She quickly wrapped her arms around his head to prevent herself from falling.

Their father was enjoying a nice warm tea their mother had prepared for them in a thermos.

Eventually they made it to the shrine entrance which was decorated with paper lanterns. Hisashi let Reina down from his shoulders.

Before they could go in they went to water fountain to purify themselves. Hisashi lifted Reina in one arm and grabbed the wooden ladle in the other.

"Ok, hold out your hands," he told her.

Reina nodded obediently. "Yes, Hisashi-niisan," she said.

She stretched her little arms over the water fountain. Using the ladle he scooped the water over her hands so she could wash them.

"Don't forget your mouth," Hisashi warned.

She hurriedly washed her mouth too.

He smiled then let her down so he could do his own hands

They went over to the stalls for the Omikuji to read their fortune for the year.

After a small offering Hisashi helped Reina hold the wooden shaker box so she could shake it. Eventually they tilted it to let one of the sticks escape and he read the number for her.

Once he had gotten his own number in the same way they went to collect the associated fortune slips.

Unfortunately for Hisashi the fortune he drew contained a somewhat ominous poem. He just shrugged it off though. It was all just a matter of hard work after all. Superstition wasn't going to help him along the way.

Reina pulled on his sleeve. "What did you get Hisashi-niisan?" she asked.

He smiled back at her. "Oh it said I was going to be in big trouble," he said.

Reina looked worried.

He rubbed her head. "Don't worry, has your big brother ever been in big trouble?" he asked.

She shook her head, her smile returning. She quickly ran off to check what their parents had received. Leaving him to chase after her.

Since the fortune was bad he tied his fortune slip to one of the strings hung around the trees nearby and headed over to the entrance.

Before entering their parents and Hisashi bowed towards the gate offering their respect. After noticing them bowing Reina quickly imitated them and bowed too.

Hisashi chuckled at her awkwardness causing her to pout a little which just made it worse due to how cute it was.

When they made it to the front of the line at the main shrine their father handed them each a 5 yen coin.

Reina followed after Hisashi imitating him as he tossed the 5 yen into the offering box, bowed twice, clapped twice, offered their prayer, and finally bowed one last time.

While they were offering their prayer Reina kept opening her eyes to peek around, still too young to quite understand the meaning behind what they were doing.

Having completed their first prayer of the year they dropped off last year's amulets before getting new ones for the upcoming year.

His parents got him a pretty blue amulet meant to help with in his studies since he still had two years of college to go. Although his mom seemed to be staring at the ones meant to help with someone's love life a bit too much for his liking.

Meanwhile Reina received a yellow one meant for general good fortune.

Yuzuki clapped her hands together in excitement. "Ok let's go to Omotesando street. We can grab some lunch there," she said.

Reina who had been quite subdued until now grew much more excited knowing that Omotesando street was filled with stalls selling tasty snacks, drinks, and candy. Some even sold little toys. This was much more exciting than the boring old shrine had been for her. She immediately started pulling on her families sleeves trying to get them to hurry.

"Yay," she cheered loudly throwing her hands up in the air. She gave Yuzuki a big hug.

When they left the main shrine they turned to the gate for one last bow and headed back towards the entrance. At least getting out of the shrine was a lot easier than getting in.

Luke 2:11

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

James woke up early the next morning. He carefully slipped from under Nemuri who was still sleeping while snuggling up to him.

After getting ready he called the front desk. "Ok, you can bring it up," he said.

Just a few minutes after he made the call there was a polite knock on the door. It was Sarah along with a bunch of hotel porters carrying a slew of Christmas packages wrapped in various colourful papers and ribbons.

"Good morning Mr. Busujima," she said.

Once opened multiple hotel porters came in carrying a slew of gifts.

They already knew the way and put the gifts under the giant Christmas tree. The space under the tree was completely filled up.

James nodded in satisfaction.

The hotel porters had all left as soon as they completed their jobs. Afterwards Sarah let in a few other employees that brought breakfast with a variety of eggs, bacon, sandwiches, and pastries.

"Is everything to your liking?" Sarah asked.

James smiled. "Yes, it's perfect as usual. Thank you for your help as usual Sarah," he said.

A faint smile broke out on her lips. "Are you sure there isn't anything else I can do for you?" she asked.

James smirked. "Not this time, but maybe next," he said with a wink.

"Of course sir," she said before giving him a slight bow and heading back to the elevator.

It didn't take too much longer before the first few girls started trickling from their rooms.

Mina's eyes went wide when she saw the many gifts decorating the tree. "O M G!" she squealed in delight.

"That's a lot of presents," Tsuyu said.

Mina giggled excitedly. "Right? I wish Toru was here too. She usually isn't such a sleepy head," she said.

James had a good idea about what might have kept the girl up so late that she was still catching up on sleep.

Ibara joined them clasping her hands excitedly. "Good morning, I'm excited to celebrate the birth of our lord and savior together with you all," she said.

"Of course Ibara-chan," James responded.

She shook her head. "Please call me Shiozaki-san. It's improper for a man to call a woman so casually," she corrected him softly.

"Sure, how about we start having dinner and wait for everyone to join us before we start on the presents," he said casually moving past her correction and changing the subject.

Ochaco joined them at the dining table and couldn't resist stuffing her plate with the many delicacies. "Good morning! Merry Christmas!" she said with a smile.

Kyoka sat down without drawing too much attention. "Mornin'," she said casually.

Himiko and Momo joined not much later immediately hogging the seats beside James when they did even if they had to "convince" the girls that were already sitting there to scoot over.

The last to come down were unsurprisingly Nemuri and Toru, both of which still looked quite tired despite just getting up.

James smirked. "Good morning gorgeous," he said causing both of them to blush.

"R-right... G-good morning," Nemuri said.

Toru just sat down across from him while blushing heavily, but struggled to look at him out of embarrassment after what she had done the night before.

After they all finished breakfast they gathered by the Christmas tree the living room.

James smirked holding a Christmas elf hat. "Ok who wants to be Santa's little helper?" he said.

Ochaco raised her hand. "I'll do it!" she said.

James plopped the hat on her head with a smile. "Ok, your job is to go through the presents handing everyone a gift meant for them," he explained.

Ochaco wasted no time getting into her role and dove under the tree digging through all the presents. "There's so many" she muttered under her breath.

Everyone eventually ended up with a gift in their hands. Nemuri was surprised when Ochaco handed her a gift with her name on the tag, not having expected to be included as the teacher. She looked over at James with a soft smile.

Himiko ended up getting a few skirts and sweaters that were right up her alley. She loved expressing herself with her clothing and style after all. Oh and some sexy lingerie that was to his liking. That was probably more of a Christmas present to himself than to her, but she still seemed to love it. She didn't even bother trying to hide when she unwrapped it. She was rather excited to test the effect they would have.

For Momo he got a large high quality collection of encyclopaedias which she liked, but she was feeling a little sour that James hadn't got her lingerie like Himiko though. Nothing some cuddles couldn't solve.

When Nemuri opened her gifts finding an entire leather BDSM outfit even it wasn't that much more daring than what she wore as a her costume she still blushed having a man gift her something like that.

For Toru he had ordered some custom clothing. They were made of a strong durable, but ultra thin legging like material. Some of them were actual leggings. Some covered just het arms and shoulder area. Some covered her entire upper body and arms. Some variations even came up the neck and face until stopping right below the eyes.

Due to how thin and stretchy the material was while still having a texture that gripped skin exceptionally well it could act almost like a second skin. This way she could be mostly "visible" when she wanted to be. He made sure to have all of them in a variety of colours so she could wear them to match various outfits and styles.

She hugged him tightly kissing his lips before she even realised what she had done. She felt something hard press up against her breaking her out of her excitement and allowing her to realise what she was doing breaking the kiss. Despite her embarrassment once she did she refused to let go of him for quite a while. Though it didn't solve her concerns regarding being invisible entirely it was the nicest gift she had ever received.

Luke 2:10

And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.

"Mmm... Fuck it! Spank me! Spank your little slut!" she demanded.

James lifted his hand and struck across her cheek hard enough to cause it to ripple violently.

She sucked in a breath. "Ahn... Yes!" she moaned out.

Toru's eyes widened. She was shocked. This was beyond any of the vanilla videos she had watched in secret. She couldn't look away though. A second finger had slipped into her flower while the gentle rub had transitioned to something more vigorous matching her excitement. Her other hand was squeezing her breast just the way that she saw James do to Nemuri trying to match his movements as close as she could from this distance.

Nemuri was enjoying the thrill. Between the risk of being seen, the possibility of being caught by on of the other students and the domineering attitude it was hitting so many of her buttons. Her hand slid down to her clit teasing it to send her racing towards her climax.

"Ahn... fuck... yes....YES!" she moaned like a bitch in heat.

The railing was rattling with every thrust. The cold winter air cooling down their scorching bodies. Their laboured breaths were visible as they escaped their mouths.

Without even realising it Toru had snuck out of the pavilion to get a better look at them. She creeped up just few feet away from them, watching James pump away at Nemuri's pussy with reckless abandon. Her hair pulled back her head which revealed her face lost in pleasure for all to see. Her eyes rolled back and tongue lolling out of her mouth unable to even contain her drool as she moaned and panted heavily with every thrust.

James smirked watching their little stalker creep up on them, the taboo just making the whole experience all the more pleasurable.

To make things more fun he decided to switch things up. He pulled on Nemuri's hair pulling her up off the railing against his chest and placed his lips on her neck sucking hard enough to leave a hickey. Then while making sure his dick remained wedged deep inside her sopping pussy he lifted one of her legs sideways onto his shoulder as if she was doing a split. The benefit of female heroes, most of them are very... flexible.

"Oh?" Nemuri murmured in surprise. She let him move her body as he please though, she grabbed one arm on the railing and one on James for balance.

Lifting her leg like this had turned her sideways with her pussy filled by his dick inside aimed directly at the no longer quite so "innocent" Toru. Toru raised her hand to cover her mouth as she gasped. After a moment of shock she gulped though her eyes fixed on where they were joined as if mesmerised.

James started pumping away again with long strokes allowing Toru to watch as his entire length repeatedly entered Nemuri.

Due to how naughty she was feeling and being able to watch them this up close it one took Toru a little longer until finally her body shook. She slipped down onto her knees as she climaxed right next to them. She did her best to cover her moans with her hand. All she could do was revel in the waves of pleasure coursing through her body like never before.

James' smirk deepened while watching her, but she was too distracted by her overwhelming orgasm to notice. Now that one of the two girls had finished he didn't need to hold back and started drilling away with her as hard and fast as she could handle driving them both towards their climax like a freight train.

"Oh....Ahh.... yes! Harder!" Nemuri moaned.

When she finally came she lost all strength in her arms and legs. James held on to her preventing her from falling though. Her pussy squeezing and releasing around his dick as she endured her orgasm was enough to send him over the edge as he painted her insides white.

Toru's eyes widened as she watched his dick slipped from Nemuri's pussy allowing his sizeable load to leak down her thigh from just a couple feet away. It was like being present in one of her research videos. She did her best to remain silent as she believed neither of them knew she was there yet too caught up in their own pleasure. Unfortunately for her this was only the case for Nemuri.

James moved her panties back in place preventing most of what was left of his load from leaking too much and picked Nemuri who was still weak in the legs up in a princess carry.

Toru stayed behind trying to not get caught waiting until they were very far away before she snuck back into the pavilion, grabbed her clothing and snuck back to her bedroom. Thankfully for her Tsuyu and Mina had already crashed so she didn't need to lie about where she had been.

James managed to carry Nemuri all the way to her bedroom without anyone else noticing them. It wasn't that hard with his enhanced hearing he could hear someone coming all the way from other side of the suite. Barely anyone would be able to sneak up on him, definitely not one of his classmates. Not that he cared all that much if they did get caught. He didn't even mind Toru watching after all.

Nemuri was looking up at him dazedly the whole time. The whole experience had seemed unreal and was unlike anything she had experienced. It wasn't her first time, but unlike her previous experiences this was exactly the way she dreamed of having sex rather than the more mundane experiences she had been through in reality.

He put her down in the bathroom and stripped off her clothing. Sat her down on the closed toilet then grabbed a washcloth, dampened it and cleaned her lower body and tender pussy. He just left the clothing there for now and took her back to her bed and got under the covers with her. Despite her exhaustion she still wrapped herself around him snuggling in close with a deep sigh before finally falling asleep.

The next morning Hisashi woke up with someone crawling on top of him in bed.

"Hisashi-oniichan! Get up! Get up!" Reina chanted.

Suddenly a foot accidentally slipped stomping him in the gut causing him to groan. He was wide awake now.

"Okay.. okay I'm up," he moaned.

Reina smiled brightly as he crawled out of bed before dragging him to the living room. Below their miniature Christmas tree were a bunch of presents.

Their parents were already waiting and watching them with a smile.

Reina couldn't hold back and dove under the tree searching for a gift meant for her. It didn't take her long to find one.

She didn't hesitate to rip the paper off revealing a magical girl staff from her favourite TV show. Her eyes were glimmering in excitement as she unboxed it and swung it around.

Hisashi smiled watching her enjoy the Christmas gift he got her. He expected she would like it, but seeing how much she liked it really made it worth it.

Their mother looked on with a smile from the couch."Why don't you check some of the other boxes?" she asked.

Reina looked torn her eyes darting between the magic staff and the remaining gifts. "Ok," she eventually begrudgingly agreed.

Their mom pointed at a particularly large box. Reina grabbed it and tore off the ribbon and wrapping paper.

This was actually a matching present their parents bought to go with the magic staff Hisashi bought her as a present.

When she opened the box a beautiful frilly knee-high white and red dress with ribbons was revealed. Reina squealed in excitement.

"Can I try it on now?" she asked excitedly.

"Of course sweetheart, do you need a hand?" their mom said.

She nodded seriously.

Their mom took her to change and when she came back Reina had become the cutest little magical girl. She had even done her hair up in twin pigtails.

Reina grabbed the wand and started twirling it as she pranced around the living room. She struck a pose with her free hand held up to her face with the peace sign. "Magical Girl Reina is here!" she announced proudly.

Hisashi chuckled.

"How dare you laugh? Evil villain!" she shouted.

Hisashi stood up with his arms spread with the palms facing up and his legs spread."Mwahahaha, your powers are a mere joke before me Lord Evil!" he responded theatrically.

"No... not Lord Evil," she responded in exaggerated shock.

She took a fighting pose. "You won't succeed. Not on my watch! Prepare for defeat!" she said.

"Not this time. After I defeat you I'll rule this world," he retorted taking on a fighting pose of his own.

He quickly ran to his gym bag and grabbed one of his bokken used for kata in his Kendo classes and pointed it at Reina.

"Never! You will bow before me soon enough!" he said.

She smiled widely wielding her staff at him. He dove behind the couch as if she had fired a beam at him and barely dodged it.

"Take that!" she shouted with a giggle.

They continued around the room exchanging attacks and even crossing weapons when they got close enough to each other.

Eventually Hisashi feigned weakness and let Reina get a hit in,

He collapsed in defeat. "Nooooooo! I'll get you next time magical girl Reina!" he shouted dramatically.

Reina giggled excitedly while doing some kind of little victory dance that ended in a magical girl-like pose.

Their mother looked at Hisashi with a warm smile. "Hey! Don't forget to open you presents," she berated him gently.

Hisashi nodded and smiled back before looking at Reina. "How about you find me a good looking gift to open?" he asked her.

She dove back under the tree and actually brought back two presents.

She handed them to him impatiently. "Open them, quickly," she said.

He smiled and ripped off the wrapping paper revealing a new graphics card. He looked up at his parents in surprise. He had mentioned he needed to upgrade his system off-handedly, but never expected them to help him with it.

His father gave him an encouraging smile and nod.

When he tore open the other one it was a better hard drive than the one he had. It was one of the new 3.5 inch models with a whopping 20MB of storage. Hard drives were still rather uncommon among personal computers, but Hisashi knew they were the future and his operating system would need to be able to handle them.

He smiled at his parents and nodded as an indication of his gratitude without spoiling Christmas for his sister.

Reina's interest in his presents faded quickly when she noticed none of what her brother got were toys or games. She quickly dove back under the tree again to find more of her own presents instead.

By the time they finally finished unwrapping the presents and playing together it was already time for lunch which was mostly leftovers. Chicken and gravy sandwiches with a slice of cake on the side. At least it was an easy meal for their mom to make and everyone loved them.

Later that afternoon Hisashi was excited to finally get to work and install the new hardware in his rig.

By the evening everything was ready to be tested. He was working on his upgraded computer running diagnostics and tweaking his code to fix bugs and take advantage of the new hardware.

His mother opened the door to his bedroom and stood in the door opening watch him work with a soft smile. He was so distracted she wasn't even noticed.

After a few moments she looked at him sternly. "Don't stay up too late, we're all going to the shrine early tomorrow morning to offer a prayer," she warned.

He looked up in surprise. "Yes mother!" he responded.

Unfortunately as usual he got lost in his work which meant he did not get to bed on time. That was a concern for future him though.

NTR System 47 – Happy Days

The next morning Dave woke up with Jackie still in his arms which caused him to smile comfortably. It had been a while since they had been last able to spend an entire night together after his father had returned from the hospital the previous time.

He checked the time on his phone. Seeing that it was time to get up her gave Jackie a soft peck on the lips that woke her up. Her eyelids fluttered open. Seeing him smile at her she gave him a warm smile back.

She gave him a deeper kiss back. "Good morning, dear," she said happily. It seemed she had gotten over what happened the previous evening.

He gently rolled out from beside her and pulled the comforter back over her. "I'll get my workout in real quick then join me in the shower," he told her with a smirk.

She hummed happily.

His workout was going great and he was feeling even more energetic than usual, despite raising the difficulty even more it was just too easy. Even if things weren't over with his father yet, this had been the first time he had really stood up to his father and it excited him. It was almost as good as fucking his father's wife without him knowing, then again the only thing he could imagine being better than that would be fucking her right in front of him without him being able to do anything about it. but be forced to watch her moaning on his cock.

After a serious work out if felt good having some more fun with Jackie in the bathroom and flirting with her over breakfast. She really seemed to be back to her usual self if not even a little more affectionate towards him than usual.

When he got to class he was ambushed by Kate. "Are you ok? What happened?" she loudly whispered to him.

He smiled seeing her concern. "Yeah, see I'm fine," he said doing a little spin for her.

Seeing him still joking around seemed to relieve her a little.

"So any news about your father?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing yet, they are keeping him in the hospital for three days to observe him and make sure there aren't any problems," he said nonchalantly.

She nodded. "And what about you, how are you holding up?" she asked.

"Honestly? Him not being around for a few days is actually really nice. Far less stress in my life at least," he said. He might have feigned some care in front of other people, but he had at least some level of trust in Kate. She might be a closet nympho, but she was his closet nympho.

"What about your stepmother though?" she asked.

"She is... doing fine I guess," he said. He would need to deal with them finding out about each other at some point. He had kind of put of the idea so far focusing mostly just on taking advantage of the best situations to progress their relationships with him and gain his rewards which inadvertently lead to the relationships he was in with them now. If he could though he would rather not give up on either of them.

Given that both of them slept with him while in relationships with other men they didn't really have a high ground to judge him from even if he had no interest in letting them sleep with other men if they wanted to remain in a relationship of any sort with him. If they thought they could sleep around on him, even if it was a double standard on his part, he would just get their reward and be rid of them.

He had better things to deal with in his life than keeping around women that couldn't be faithful to him. This might make him a hypocrite, but he didn't care. Almost all people were hypocrites on some level and as he kept improving himself it wasn't like the women that decided to stay with him didn't get any benefits. Whether that was the pleasure, the protection, the status or the wealth all of which he was sure he would be able to get now that he had the system. The sky was the limit.

Jeffrey did show up again, but he seemed more reserved at least for the moment. Dave was sure it was just a matter of time before he forgot the beating he got, built up some confidence, and started causing issues for him again. However Dave wasn't too concerned. With two helpers Jeffrey still effectively lost their last encounter and things would only be becoming worse for Jeffrey as Dave had time to grow. Things wouldn't be getting better for Jeffrey moving forward. He was just a pig waiting to be butchered now when it was convenient for Dave.

Mara seemed to be trying to improve his spirits and inflate his ego again, but the still present bruises on his body including has balls were too painful a reminder for him to forget before they had healed completely.

Since Jeffrey seemed to be behaving the rest of the day actually went by quite smoothly. No one else dared to do much of anything to cause problems for him if even Jeffrey wasn't acting out to bully him at the moment.

He was starting to wonder what Kate's relationship with her boyfriend was like, because he hadn't seen the guy yet and she had been spending almost all time together with him at school only separating from him when they had to so he could go to the gym for his personal trainer class and even then she seemed very reluctant to let him go.

He would need to keep an eye on things with her to make sure this didn't go too far and she turned in to some kind crazy possessive stalker as that would ruin their relationship and cause problems for him pursuing his goals after all.

Lucifer Quirk - Christmas ’23 Omake – 1A’s First Christmas Part 4

Luke 2:9

And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.

James sauntered up the spiralling stairs to the rooftop pavilion and out onto the terrace where he crashed on one of the comfortable outdoor couches to enjoy the cold winter breeze on his skin as he stared over Central Park and the skyline lighting up the horizon behind it.

Suddenly someone dropped into his lap and wrapped their arms around his neck. It was Nemuri and unlike the girls she was more than a little tipsy off of the rum. She was feeling warm despite the cold air and her cheeks were quite red. Her pencil skirt was a little hiked up from sitting on his lap revealing a pair of lacy black panties.

She hummed in contentment. "Hmm... so what are you doing up here... all... alone?" she asked him playfully.

He smiled. "Well I'm not all alone anymore, am I?" he teased back.

She ran her hands over his muscular chest. "I guess you're not," she agreed.

With her ample chest pressed up against him it didn't take long for his dick to harden rubbing up against her thighs. She intentionally rubbed back to tease him further.

His arms wrapped around her back pulling her closer until his lips pressed against hers. She didn't resist and kissed him back just as passionately. He could feel her nipples press against him through her shirt.

His tongue slipped past her lips and teased hers, she returned it in kind though as she seemed to battle for dominance with his tongue.

After minutes of kissing he pulled back leaving her gasping.

He smirked leaning towards her. "So... tell me, what is it that you truly desire?" he whispered into her ear.

A shiver of pleasure and desire ran up her spine. She bit her lip looking him deep in the eyes her eyes darting to his lips and lower a few times.

She hesitated for a moment, but she really wanted to tell him. "I... I want you," she eventually whispered back.

His smile widened. "Would you like to go to your room?" he asked.

She smirked. Got off his lap. Walked over to the edge of the roof. Leaned over the rooftop terrace guardrail looking over the city while arcing her back showing off her plump ass to tempt him. Her raven hair cascaded down her back. "No... I want you to take me right here..." she said shaking her ass back and forth playfully.

He wasn't going to ask twice and followed after her getting behind her. "Hmm... you better be ready then," he said.

James noticed someone had snuck up to the pavilion and was watching them through the windows from inside. It was Toru. He could even see her undress from the corner of his eye so she couldn't be seen at all by others while she peaked at them secretly.

Nemuri didn't have a clue she was watching, meanwhile James didn't care as he got behind her grabbing onto her seductive hips rubbing them softly. His hands wandered down to the edge of her pencil skirt and hiked them up until her lace clad ass was completely uncovered.

He unbuckled his belt and undid his slacks then whipped his already rock hard dick out of his underwear.

Nemuri was looking back at him and gasped in anticipation when she saw his dick.

James pulled aside her panties unveiling her glistening bare pussy. Someone had made sure to be ready no matter what might happen this trip. He licked his lips and rubbed his cock head across her lips teasing them while lubricating himself.

She pouted. "Don't tease me," she said.

He grabbed her hair firmly pulling her head back. "What was that?" he asked.

Her face flushed. "Ahn... I mean please don't tease me," she begged.

"That's more like it," he said. He loosened his grip on her hair, but didn't quite let go as he continued to tease her with his cock.

"Mmmm... please," she continued to plead.

James smirked lining his dick up with her pussy. He slowly slid the head in spreading her lips before he suddenly thrust the entire length in in one go. Due to how wet she was already there was barely any resistance.

Her back arced and a shiver went up her spine. "Oh...fuck!" she moaned loudly.

In the pavilion Toru gasped and leaned closer to try getting a better look. Her hand had slipped between her legs gently teasing her petals that were starting to overflow with her nectar. She bit her lip. Part of her knew it was wrong to stay, but this little bit of resistance didn't last long. The moment it faded she parted her petals slipping her finger inside, careful to not make a sound.

He didn't hold back though and started pounding away his hips colliding with her ass with loud smacks as the head of his cock hit her womb when he bottomed out with each thrust.

The railing was digging into her stomach. She looked down at the road. They were actually 16 floors up making the people down below look as tiny as ants, but the thought regardless of how remote that someone might look up and see them turned her on like crazy. The hero Midnight caught having sex in public. How scandalous. The thought alone made her knees weak.

"Oh... I've missed this," she muttered between moans.

His free hand slid from her hips up her side before settling on her breast circling her nipple before finally going in for the kill and giving it a good pinch. He could feel her folds tighten around his dick when he did.

"A bit of a masochist are we? I thought the costume was just because of your quirk," he said with a smirk.

"Ahn.. I-it... i-is," she tried to defend herself.

He pinched her nipple again. "Don't lie to me! What kind of slut would squeeze my dick in this situation?" he asked.

She bit her lower lip.

Lucifer Quirk -Christmas ’23 Omake – 1A’s First Christmas Part 3

Luke 2:8

And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

They made a whole event out of exploring the absolutely massive suite. It was bigger than most people's houses which kept amazing the girls.

The suite contained three king bedrooms, two queen bedrooms, six bathrooms, a library lounge, a kitchen, a dining room big enough for 12, two powder rooms, two wet bars, and private rooftop terrace access that provided panoramic views of Central Park and New York City skyline. The walls were bright giving the rooms and open feel with dark hardwood floors. The lavishly-adorned New York penthouse was more like a majestic residence representing the pinnacle of modern luxury with exceptional comfort and care in every detail.

They eventually ended up sitting on the couches on the rooftop terrace looking over the skyline as the sun set.

Even Nemuri was amazed. "Are you sure you can afford this?" she asked hesitantly.

"Oh this? Easily." he responded as if it was the most natural thing.

These days even without his family's massive wealth he could afford things like this quite easily. Most of his investments would make more profit over the time they stayed here than the stay itself would cost him. It was practically chump change.

"Ok... if you say so," she ended up saying.

After they enjoyed the view James ordered food from room service since after the long trip no one felt like cooking or even going out to eat.

Mina went to open the door when room service arrived.

After letting them in she walked over to James. She blushed heavily then tried to school her expression. "Would you like dinner or a bath or ... me ?" she said.

James chuckled. "I'll answer that as soon as you can say it with a straight face," he said then pecked her on the cheek.

She couldn't handle the teasing anymore despite being the one instigating it and scurried off to the dining table.

Ochaco was already seated looking at the plates the room service employees placed down in front of them. The food that looked closer to a piece of art than something you should eat. "Can I really eat this?" she asked nervously.

James chuckled. "If you don't eat it soon I might steal it from you," he joked.

She blushed, but it seemed to to lighten the mood enough for her to start eating.

Momo held out her fork towards him with some of her food. "You should try this," she said.

James felt something rub up against the inside of his thigh. When he looked down he could see Toru's transluscent foot rubbing up towards his dick. The sneaky little thing had taken off her shoe and left it under her chair giving the impression to everyone else that she was sitting normally across from him focused on her food.

Since he knew no shame he happily took the bite.

Himiko looked back and forth from her plate to him, but shook her head and continued eating.

Tsuyu smiled watching all the food. "Thank you James-kun, ribbit. I wish I could share this with my brothers," she said.

Toru's foot reached his dick rubbing along its length causing it to harden. He could see a sly smirk forming on her lips when she felt that.

Ochaco looked at the food in agreement. Her family had never been able to eat anything like this. Probably never would be able to unless she became one of the very highest ranked heroes.

James smiled. "Well we might not be able to share this with them, but we can always take them to something of similar quality back in Japan," he said.

Tsuyu blushed ever so slightly and nodded.

Toru spent the rest of the meal teasing him, but without actually letting him finish since if she actually crawled under the table while still dressed the rest would unfortunately notice.

After dinner they all went up to the rooftop terrace to enjoy the sights and talk over some tea, but eventually they all started filtering to the bedrooms so they could put away their luggage just the way they wanted.

Eventually it was just him and Nemuri. When she got up he went downstairs with her.

Nemuri put her hand on his shoulder. "If you need me for... anything... feel free to come to my room... alone," she said with a wink. She seductively trailed her hand down his arm before wandering off to her own room while intentionally swaying her ass to draw his attention.

Between Toru and Nemuri's teasing all night his frustration had reached a peak, but relief had been denied, so he ended up dragging Himiko into one of the bathrooms to vent some of it. They turned on the shower to cover up the sound before she assisted him as they broke in all parts of the bathroom that could be broken in. She was more than willing to help him.

They spent the next day shopping. James preference was satisfying the girls after all.

Since it was Christmas Eve. James had already booked a full Christmas dinner from the hotel which was ready and waiting when they got back to their suite.

The girls were all excited. It was all very different from what they were used to. No KFC Christmas special, but instead an actual Christmas turkey with stuffing, gravy and cranberry sauce. Since there were so many of them there wasn't just the Turkey, but also a finely decorated beef wellington. For sides there was plenty of mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, creamed spinach and cookies. They were served eggnog for drinks unless they requested something else. The table was absolutely loaded and they couldn't wait to dig in.

He had the hotel add a light dash of rum to the eggnog without telling anyone. Not enough to get people to notice or become outright drunk, just a little tipsy. He ordered a hot buttered rum for Nemuri who more than appreciated it.

As the evening progressed the girls, their lips a little looser from the alcohol, started opening up more to each other leading to them feeling even closer with each other. Unfortunately for the other boys in the class James was the only one included in this bonding. After spending the evening stuffing themselves with food and drink slowly the girls trickled out of the dining room and to their rooms to deal with the rapidly onset food comas that were coming.

Lucifer Quirk - Christmas ’23 Omake – 1A’s First Christmas Part 2

Luke 2:7

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

Ochaco looked up at the building in amazement and gulped. "H-how much d-did you say the suites were?" she stuttered nervously.

James chuckles. "I didn't mention it and I recommend you don't ask. Trust me, you don't want to know," he teased her. Just the two suites he had booked were costing him over $130k per night, he was sure if he told Ochaco who was trying to be a hero to help out her family who was in dire financial straits how much this place cost she might faint.

It only took mere moments for the hotel porters to spring into action unloading their luggage from the limousines before guiding them to the front desk.

Mina came up beside him grabbing his arm and holding it between her breasts. "You aren't going to make me stay in the other suite, are you?" she asked with a faux pout.

"Let go of his arm," Momo said trying to drag the harlot away from her man.

Mina smirked. "Don't be like that Momo-chan," she said.

She turned back to James. "So... what's your answer?" she said.

James rolled his eyes. "Of course you can stay in my suite Why don't you, Toru and Tsuyu share one of the other king bedrooms? You're petite enough," he said.

Mina almost looked offended. She bent over a little and emphasised her breasts. "We're not petite... well maybe Tsuyu is," she said.

It seemed Tsuyu had overheard them. "I have adequate sized breasts, ribbit! I made sure, ribbit," she said with a deadpan face.

James sighed. "Yes all three of you are very beautiful... I'm just saying the three of you could fit on a king size bed. Do you want me to call you fat?" he said.

Toru giggled grabbing on to his other arm squeezing them between her big breasts. "I don't feel petite, do I?" she asked teasingly.

"Not at all," he responded honestly.

They were lead into the lobby that seemed to be a fusion of modern and art deco with white walls and a glossy black and white floor with black accents and black furniture. Tall yellow lights adorn the walls warming the cold looking space.

The porters guided them to the front desk where a professional looking young lady in a pencil skirt suit was waiting for them.

"It's a pleasure to see you again Mr. Busujima," she said politely.

"The pleasure is all mine Sarah," he responded.

She blushed a little, reminded of his previous visits, but as a professional managed to keep her composure. "Your words are sweet as usual Mr. Busujima. Here are your keys," she said changing the topic with a professional smile.

"Oh wow, you still use keys?" Mina asked curious

"Yes, we are still using the same locks that the hotel had when it first opened. We feel it adds to the atmosphere. You don't need to worry about your safety though. We have top of the line security on our first floor including a highly trained security team and though you might not notice them there are cameras in every corner of the hotel except for the rooms and suites themselves," the manager said proudly.

James smiled. It was quite cute how amazed they all were. Although he hadn't been wealthy his first life after over 15 years of the top luxury he had grown quite accustomed to it. He could still enjoy it vicariously through them though.

James handed Sarah a piece of paper with a list covertly. She smiled. "We'll take care of it sir," she said.

After completing their check in Sarah gave a polite little bow. "I hope you all enjoy your stay and have a merry Christmas," she said.

James smiled back. "Merry Christmas Sarah," he said.

After some final discussions the division of the class between the two suites was finally determined. Things ended up working out just the way James had intended them to.

Penthouse Suite:
King Bedroom - Busujima James, Toga Himiko, and Yaoyorozu Momo
King Bedroom - Hagakure Toru, Ashido Mina, and Asui Tsuyu
King Bedroom - Kendo Itsuka and Shiozaki Ibara
Queen Bedroom - Midnight(Kayama Nemuri)
Queen Bedroom - Jiro Kyoka and Uraraka Ochaco

Five Bedroom Terrace Suite:
King Bedroom - Ida Tenya Midoriya Izuku, and Aoyama Yuga   
King Bedroom - Todoroki Shoto and Sato Rikido
Queen Bedroom - Kirishima Eijiro and Kaminari Denki
Queen Bedroom - Tokoyami Fumikage and Mezo Shoji
Full Bedroom - Present Mic(Yamada Hizashi)
Sleeping on the couch - Bakugo Katsuki(he refused to share a bed)

Once he had convinced Himiko, Momo, Toru, Mina, Tsuyu and Kendo to stay in the penthouse the other girls decided to stay there too since the alternative would be ending up in a suite with most of the boys. Even if they would be in the same suite as James at least there would only be girls in their bedrooms which made them feel much better.

James smirked knowing it would be him and ten women sharing the suite. He didn't really care what the guys did in their own suite which was on an entirely different floor.

On the way to the elevator lobby he handed the keys for the boys suite to Present Mic to divide while holding on to the penthouse suite keys himself.

The two groups finally separated when they got to the elevators. James and the girls got in one while the boys along with Present Mic got into the other since they were going to different floors.

When they finally got out of the elevator and unlocked the penthouse doors they were amazed to find the hotel had decorated the whole suite in a Christmas theme including a towering fully decorated 20 foot Christmas tree in the giant living room along with a fireplace with a bunch of stockings hanging on it.

The girls ran around the Christmas tree admiring it. This was the first time they had seen one this big in person. They had only seen other similarly big ones in videos, purely for research purposes of course.

Hollow System - Christmas '23 Omake – Last Christmas Part 1

-Christmas many years ago-

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house... was the smell of Kentucky Fried Chicken brought home by a spouse.

The Saito family was seated at the dining table. Decked out in warm colourful winter sweaters. Little Reina was drooling over the huge bucket of KFC fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits their father, Saito Atsuhiro, had brought home with him.

Their mom Yuzuki had coaxed them in decorating the house and dining table with her in Christmas cheer, there was even a small Christmas tree in the corner decorated with lights, garland, ornaments and a star on top.

"Oto-san c-can we start?" Reina asked impatiently.

Their father smiled. "Go ahead," he said.

Their mother started serving up the food filling all their plates except Reina who got just a little bit of everything.

Reina looked at everyone else's full plates. "I want more too," she whined with a pout.

Their mom chuckled lightly. "Eat that first and if you finish it I'll give you more," she said.

Reina's serious pout slowly melted. "Do you promise?" she asked seriously.

Their mom nodded. "Of course," she said.

It didn't take long before Reina's smile returned. "Yay!" she cheered grabbing onto one of the drumsticks. She started gnawing at it like her life depended on it.

Hisashi smiled watching his little sister go. "Don't go too fast, there's cake for desert too. If you eat too much and are sick tomorrow then all the presents will be mine muahahaha" he said theatrically.

Her eyes went wide with the drumstick still in her mouth. "No way Hisashi-oniichan! Those are mine," she said warily. It was hard to make out with the drumstick muffling it though.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," their mother warned.

Reina looked away nervously. She ended up nibbling on the drumstick until there wasn't a shred of meat left on it.

Hisashi served some mashed potatoes and gravy on her plate.

Reina grimaced. "Boo, I want more chicken," she said.

Hisashi smirked. "If I fill you up on mashed potatoes there will be more cake left for me," he teased.

She seemed appalled at the mere idea. "Nuh-uh. Cake goes in the desert stomach," she said indignantly.

He smiled back. "We'll see about that," he said.

Their father had loosened his tie and was nursing a beer that went well with the fried chicken. "Alright you two, don't make a mess," he said.

He looked over at Hisashi. "How are things going at college?" he asked.

Hisashi looked at him thoughtfully for a moment.  "They are going well father, the programming electives I chose are really paying off," he said.

"Are you sure? I still think studying business would have been better," his father responded.

Although his father had allowed him to pursue a degree mathematics degree with multiple computer science electives, the field was still brand new leading to him questioning Hisashi about his choice of career quite frequently. Hisashi knew it came from a good place.

Hisashi smiled softly. "You don't have to worry father, give it a few years and this will be the biggest thing," he said confidently.

His father smiled back and decided to give up on trying to change his son's mind. He knew his son was brilliant and thought he could achieve great things if he got a solid business degree and joined a reliable company, possibly even the company he himself worked for. His usually filial son had always been stubborn about this one thing though so he relented.

Their mother just rolled her eyes at the two of them. "More importantly, tell me have you met any girls yet?" she asked.

She shot him a light glare. "You aren't planning to make me an old grandma or worse are you?" she asked before he could even answer.

Hisashi coughed awkwardly. "Mother, you know how it is. None of the girls in school see me as boyfriend material since I'm 4 years younger than them and I don't meet girls outside of school," he said.

She sighed in response. "I knew I shouldn't have agreed to them letting you skip those classes. What about that girl in your Kendo class?" she asked.

He grimaced in response. There was a girl in his Kendo class that was a year younger that seemed very interested in him. They had known each other for a few years now. Unfortunately he wasn't really into 15 year olds. She was a nice enough girl and they could be considered more than just acquaintances, but she was still far too immature. Who knows, if she persisted for a few more years and matured things could change. However as things were he just saw her as the little girl she was.

He sighed. "M-maybe in the future," he said.

She looked over at Reina putting her hand on her head. "I'll just have to rely on you in the future little Reina-chan," she said with a theatrically dramatic sigh.

Reina seemed confused as she couldn't understand what they were talking about, but decided to just smile along for their mother's sake.

Now it was Hisashi's turn to roll his eyes. "Just give it a few years mother," he said.

The one thing that excited her more than the fried chicken was the cake they had for desert. Once she had finished her slice though she was so full she could have gone straight to sleep.

Reina finished the cake with a few chocolate smudges on her cheeks. Hisashi took a napkin and cleaned up the worst of it. "Aah...nooo," she shouted dramatically trying to escape his hands.

Hisashi was undeterred though and on a mission to make sure she was clean.

After they cleaned up the table Hisashi lifted her up carrying her to the couch. He put on a Christmas movie and curled up together under a blanket on the couch.

Reina didn't even make it to the end of the movie before she ended up nodding off, her head dropped against his arm. When the movie ended he was careful not to wake her up while he carried her to her bedroom and tucked her in. He was sure she would be up early for presents the next day.

He helped his parents clean up some more before heading to bed himself a little later.

Lucifer Quirk - Christmas ’23 Omake – 1A’s First Christmas Part 1

Luke 2:6

And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.

The Christmas and New Years holidays were coming up, James stood in front of the classroom with Momo as the class representative and vice representative.

The class were hanging out in their groups and talking together since class hadn't started yet except Himiko who was enjoying the warm sun shining onto her from the window as she rested her head on the desk.

James cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "As the class representative I would like to make a small announcement," he said.

Everyone quieted down curious about what he had to say.

"Well I have talked with the school and managed to convince them to let me invite you all to New York City for the holidays. You would be spending Christmas and New Years there. You don't have to worry about the cost, I've taken care of that. It'll be like a school trip, great for bonding," he said.

"W-wait... are you for real?" Denki shouted out.

"A-all the way in America?" Izuku mutters.

"Wow... you're paying for us?" Ochaco gasped in amazement. Of course that would be the thing to get her attention.

"Right? Right? I want to go!" Mina said.

James nodded and gestured for them to quiet down. "Yes, we will be paying for the flights and the hotel rooms. Other expenses will be your own responsibility though," he said.

"Yes!" Ochaco cheered.

"Woah..." Denki said in amazement.

"It's time for a party!" Eijiro said excitedly.

"Naturally the school wasn't going to allow a bunch of kids to travel to another country all by themselves. So I managed to get our U.A.'s beautiful hero Midnight and Present Mic to join as chaperones for our trip," he said.

It hadn't been hard to convince Midnight with a little bit of flirting and and the offer of the all-inclusive trip he had offered her unlike his classmates. As for Present Mic he was excited about taking his class to America and having them immerse themselves in English.

The only one that didn't seem impressed was Shoto who was probably already used to such treatment due to his father.

"H-how will the rooms be divided?" Toru asked nervously.

"Good question. We have booked two suites with multiple rooms each. Each suite will have one of the two chaperones stay in it. We will have to decide amongst ourselves how to divide those between the entire class." he said.

He wasn't sure what the final division would be, but he did know Himiko and Momo would be sleeping in the same bed as him and he wasn't going to accept any other guys in their room.

Toru's blush deepened when she understood that he hadn't specified they would be gender segregated.

"W-wait are you saying the school isn't determining how the rooms are divided?" Mina asked.

"All I can say is that I will be in the master bedroom of the penthouse suite with Himiko and Momo, which leaves two extra king bedrooms and two queen bedrooms in that suite. I've set aside one of the queen bedrooms for Nemuri so she can have her own space. This means there would be room for six others in the remaining three bedrooms, maybe eight if you squeezed three together in the king size bedrooms." he said matter of factly.

Some of the girls were giving him rather fervent looks. They were determined to stay in the penthouse with him, staying on a different floor wasn't an option.

Himiko had no shame so she was unaffected, but Momo turned quite red. She would have expected to be in the same room as him, but he didn't need to announce it to the entire class.

"For the rest we've booked the five bedroom terrace suite. It comes with two king size bedrooms, two queen size bedrooms and a full size bedroom. The full size bedroom will be set aside for Present Mic who will also be joining us to help with English and keep an eye on the rest of the class. The other four rooms can accommodate between eight and ten more which can be divided amongst the rest of the class," he continued.

The class started murmuring in excitement.

James looked over to Momo while holding some papers out towards her. "Please hand these out to the class," he requested.

Then he looked at the class. "These are permission slips, please get your parents to sign them if you want to go on the trip. Without signed permission by your parents there's nothing we can do," he said.

Thankfully it turned out everyone's parents were more than willing to sign the permission slips. Maybe it wasn't that surprising though since these were the same parents that agreed to have their teenage children go to a school where they would be trained to fight villains and agreed to let them go to a training camp in the mountains. Compared to those things a trip to enjoy the festivities in New York City was practically nothing and possibly even safer than their average day at U.A.

The flight took a long time, almost 15 hours, but the first class seats and top service made it a lot more bearable. The biggest problem was deciding who sat where which started a little argument which was won by Himiko and Momo who ended up closest to James.

When they finally arrived in New York City three limousines were already waiting to pick them up.

Everyone was staring out of the windows admiring the city, they even passed Central Park on the way. Eventually the three limousines ended up dropping them off right in front of an extremely swanky looking hotel.

The first floor's exterior was clad in glossy black tile facade that looked clean enough to eat off of with gold accents while the other floors were showing the bare red bricks.

I Can Simulate Fictional Worlds

Synopsis:

Chris is transported to the world of DC the only thing he receives to help him survive is a simulation system.

It allows him to simulate himself having been reincarnated to various fictional worlds rather than how he was transported to the world of DC meaning his simulated self has no clue it's in a simulation or about his transmigration to the DC world. The simulator will go through his entire life there and depending on how well his simulated self performs he can win the chance of taking some or even all the things he gained during the simulation to his real self.

Author Comments:

This is a story I'm thinking of starting. Right now it's not going to have any set release schedule as I'm still kind of trying to figure out the idea. It might become it's own tier in the future, but right now it's just available to the "Full Access" tier. The first world I will have him simulate is the TV show Misfits. For the worlds after that I'm thinking of letting the readers choose the next worlds through polls.

The idea would be that each universe he simulates would kind of be like it's own Isekai short story set in an existing fictional world based on movies, tv shows, anime/manga, videogames, books etc with an overarching plot set in the DC universe.

One thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is what power he would receive in the Misfits world. The powers granted in this world tend to be related to the person's traumas or obsessions. Given that Chris was murdered by his yandere ex girlfriend leading to his transmigration this would likely be his biggest trauma and thing the power he received would be related to, but still trying to figure out what would be a good power to grant that at least relates to that decently. I'm looking for it to at least be somewhat useful, but not outright OP right off the bat once he takes the power back to the DC universe.

Some ideas for powers I've had so far are:

• A power that causes yandere girls to be attracted to him(seems fun, but also not really helpful power on it's own)
• A power that makes girls that like/love him obsessed and turns them into yandere over time(same issue as the first power)
• A power where he gets stronger by dying
• A power where he gets stronger by experiencing untimely deaths either himself or by someone near him, like he absorbs his/their remaining life force or something to improve his own body/power

Enjoy the extra content over the holidays.
