2025-03-01 17:23:15'Huh... what happened? Did I say something wrong?' Devansh was taken aback, seeing the favorability drop suddenly, not understanding what was wrong with what he said.
"No... It's enough for today, and we aren't that familiar with each other to have a candlelight dinner." Anaya Mira said in an awkward tone, backing off slightly.
She didn't want to go that fast, even if he had shown great interest in her and showered her with many expensive gifts. But she didn’t think it was a good idea to continue further.
"Devansh Magnus, I am a university student at MariaGold University of Technology. This year I turned 22. My favorite color is maroon blue. Is that enough? I can go on if you like." Devansh took Anaya's hand abruptly and started telling her about himself with a confident tone.
"Hehe... It's alright. As for me, I am Anaya Mira, an art student at the University of Arts and Commerce. My favorite color is dark pink. I like to enjoy the company of dashing and handsome men who are also attentive toward me. Nice to have met you, Mr. Magnus, and I enjoyed your company very much today." Anaya Mira also introduced herself, playfully jabbing him while showing a genuine smile.
"I also enjoyed your company, and it was also my first time having someone who felt comfortable spending time with me." Devansh felt it was worth it, spending a good time with her.
He glanced at the holographic screen, which had just blinked, and grinned inwardly.

"By the way, when you're so rich, why aren't you wearing nice clothes? And what's up with your messy hairstyle?" Anaya Mira asked, as this had been bothering her for a while now.
"Ohhh... I don't have money for that. I am dirt poor!" Devansh honestly replied, not minding whether she was going to believe him or not.
"Huh... you and poor?" Anaya looked at him up and down before thinking about something in her mind.
'Ohhh... I understand now. So now it's my turn to dress him up and show him how attentive I can be. This is also a good chance to earn some brownie points with him.' Anaya thought to herself.
"Alright then, let me change you a little today." Anaya grabbed his hand before taking him to a nearby salon.
"Miss... style him into something that would suit his physique!" Anaya said to the hairstylist, who nodded back after observing Devansh for a while before starting her work.
"Nice... now he looks dashing! You’ll need a little bit of quality clothing before you turn into a handsome man!" Anaya smiled after Devansh got his haircut, which refined his appearance.
Anaya paid for the salon before she dragged Devansh into a clothing store. She wasn't as wealthy as him, but she still took him to a decent store where she had him try many good outfits before selecting one.
"Ohh... wow! Miss, you really have a good eye. Your boyfriend looks very handsome." The shopkeeper lady complimented Anaya for choosing suitable clothes that brought out the unique aura of Devansh as he stood in front of her.
Devansh's appearance had a stark contrast from before—even he felt surprised by it.
With his hair neatly trimmed and styled, his sharp jawline and well-defined features became more noticeable. His deep-set eyes, which once hid behind messy strands, now had a captivating intensity. His properly fitted clothing enhanced his physique, giving him a confident and polished look. His improved posture and well-groomed presence added an air of quiet charisma.

[Anaya Mira's Favorability +5]
Devansh, who was busy admiring himself, blinked as he looked back at Anaya, whose eyes seemed to sparkle with strange joy.
"How is it? Do I look strange or something?" Devansh asked, feeling quite good seeing her reaction.
"Not at all. You look very handsome now. Dress like this from now on—I almost fell for you." Anaya said in a flirty tone, making Devansh blush a little at her straightforwardness.
Both of them left the shop after Anaya was done paying for his clothes. Anaya decided to leave for home, seeing that it was getting late.
"Alright, see you later. I really had a lot of fun today, so we should see each other again, Mr. Magnus!" Anaya turned as she spoke before playfully blowing him a flying kiss. She then took a cab and left.
"She is really bold sometimes. I'm going to get her next time. For now, let's go back to the dorm—I’m starting to feel really hungry." Devansh shook his head and smiled wryly, looking at the screen hovering in front of him.

"I am back...!" Devansh Magnus announced as he arrived back at his dorm room.
"Huh... Damn, Devansh! What happened to you? What's all this?!" His first roommate was taken aback, seeing the completely new look on Devansh.
"What the... He really had a makeover. Where were you all day to end up like this?" The second roommate almost shouted in surprise.
"Hahaha... Don't be shocked by this. I was on a dare with Beauty Anaya Mira!" Devansh smiled smugly as he sat down on his bed coolly before replying.
"Ohh... Come on, are you joking with us? You can't even handle the beauty, Aranya Sen, and you think we’ll believe that you had the courage to go on a date with Beauty Anaya Mira, who is ten times better than Aranya Sen in both looks and grace?" The first roommate scolded him, thinking he was boasting to save himself from the morning’s embarrassment.
"Yeah, Anaya Mira is a lovely and very charming beauty from the Art Department at the University of Arts and Commerce. She has a large number of admirers in her university. Not only that, but she is also well known in our university and admired by the nerds." The second roommate also didn’t believe Devansh's nonsense, as he knew who Anaya Mira was and how much influence she had on the young hearts of their university.
"Let's be real here—you are way out of her league. Listen to our advice and stop dreaming about her, lest your depression overtakes you!" Both roommates advised him with disdainful glances. They knew full well how dirt poor their roommate was and how high-maintenance the Beauty from the Art Department was, so their advice was very sincere this time.
Even though they never saw eye to eye with their third roommate, anyone would feel sympathy for someone who experienced a breakup every week.
"I appreciate it, but don't worry—I know what I'm doing!" Devansh sweatdropped at their words before brushing them off.

"Huh... what the hell does she want now?" Devansh looked at his phone, specifically at 'ChatWise', where a message was blinking. He didn’t expect that bitch to still have the gall to message him. "Aranya_Sen01: Let's just unfriend each other. I don't think you still want to see my name on your friend list." "Oh... she just wants to unfriend each other. That's good. I thought she was trying to get back together after seeing me spending money like water for Anaya Mira." Devansh thought. While sighing in relief, he didn’t really want to deal with her. But before he responded, she messaged him again. "Aranya_Sen01: I didn’t get back together with Young Master Graves because I wanted to experience the vanity of luxury. It’s because my mother is ill, and I need money urgently for her treatment.""What the hell is she explaining this to me for? I don’t give a rat’s ass who she goes out with."

Xiaomai expressed her gratitude with a happy smile on her face. She couldn't help but feel excited by it. "Ha... you really are ignorant. Let me show you what a truly magnificent rain of gifts looks like... Haha!"

The first roommate nodded as he quickly picked up his bag and got ready to leave for class. "Wait... why is class so important today?" Devansh asked, seeing his pig roommates suddenly so enthusiastic about attending. "Hey... you don’t remember? It’s a general class today, and we’ll have the chance to sit next to Goddess Ratna and admire her mesmerizing beauty up close." Both roommates replied with a weird shine in their eyes. "You mean Kiran Ratna will be attending class today? What are we waiting for then? Let’s go!" Hearing Kiran Ratna’s name, Devansh instantly changed his clothes, grabbed his bag, and darted out of the dorm in a flash. "What the 4uck... how did he change that fast?" His roommates stood there, shocked, their mouths wide open as they cursed at his sudden change in attitude. "Wait for us, 4ucker!" They chased after him. .....MariaGold Un

As the teacher, who had already heard the commotion, couldn't help but sigh and ignore them before ending the class shortly. "Wait...!" Just as Goddess Kiran was about to leave the class, Devansh hurriedly spoke, stopping her. "Damn... one pesky guy left, and another came. Even though you look handsome, I won't let you mess around with my friend." Goddess Kiran's friend became angry again, seeing another person come to bother her friend. "Haha... don't count me in the same league as that toad," Devansh said as he looked at Kiran Ratna with a small smile. "So how are you any different from that slick and cowardly guy?" Goddess Kiran's friend asked in a cold tone. "Damn, this guy is brave." The students present in the class also stopped to watch the drama. "He really is being so upfront, not afraid of getting slapped... Haha!" Devansh's roommates commented and sneered at his bravery, fully hoping the guy would get slapped hard.

"Damn it... this guy is really testing my patience, forcing me to take action. Don't stop me! Today, I will flatten this bastard!" The blonde Young Master became incensed upon hearing Devansh's savage reply and almost jumped at him before he was caught by his lackeys. They looked around and saw that others were also present. Not wanting to get into trouble with the professor, they stopped their troublemaker Young Master before he really caused a scene."Young Master, calm down." the first lackey said in the blonde's ear, in a hushed tone."Yes, you need to calm down and look around; if you cause trouble like last time, you might be suspended this time." the second lackey reminded the Blonde Young Master of something, which immediately made him calm down."Humph... I am letting him go today, but I won't let him get away after humiliating me!" the Blonde Young Master huffed, glaring at Devansh before he shrugged off his lackeys' hold.Devansh ignored the stuck-up loser and looked at h

"The painting shows a boat sinking in the vast ocean, which could symbolize struggle, loss, or something coming to an end. The ocean represents powerful forces like fate, emotions, or challenges, while the boat stands for human efforts or dreams," Anaya Mira tried to explain in simple words so Devansh could make sense of it. "Okay... okay, I get it. It's a true work of art: a floundering disaster floating in a sea of failure. Just like me, a while back!" Devansh stopped Anaya from explaining more as he related to what the artist of this painting wanted to say. It clearly resonated with his life before he met the System. "Huh... what do you mean...?" Anaya Mira asked with a confused expression, hearing Devansh's last words. "It's nothing... by the way, you really know a lot about these arts!" Devansh shrugged and changed the topic by complimenting her. "Hehe... it's just a little knowledge, not too impressive at all." Anaya smiled happily while trying to look like she didn’t ca

"Alright... let me show you why you should never look down on a simple man who doesn't like to show off!" Anaya smiled coldly at the men making fun of Devansh before she took the Black Diamond Card and went to the sommelier’s side. "Hey... if that loser can pay for the wine bottles, then I will drink ten such bottles in one breath!" The man who was the first to flirt with Anaya spoke in annoyance and a cold tone as he looked at Anaya's hand. "Hey... hey, are you sure?" Devansh looked at him in a playful tone. "Damn... this fucker. Fine... I am a man of my word. Go ahead, show us how you're going to embarrass yourself." The young man clenched his teeth as he replied.

"Anaya... we are done. Go home and think it through." Devansh said in a flat tone before shaking her hands off him and left her standing there in a daze. "No... no, Devansh... wait... listen to me... I... I was...!" By the time she came back to her senses, Devansh was already gone. He was nowhere to be seen. She kept shouting mindlessly before her tears streaked down from her already red, moist eyes. "I think I already fell for you, Devansh. I am sorry that I wasn't able to express myself clearly!" Anaya wiped her eyes, feeling the pain in her heart as she muttered to herself, before in a daze, she walked back to

"Devansh, I regret it so much. How happy I was back then! He did everything for me, but... I had to be an idiot and throw my happiness into the gutter because of my greed and impulse." Aranya felt anguish inside as she glanced at Devansh, feeling the mistakes she had made in the past. Thinking about it hurt her even more. "Get lost, bitch! Don't ever appear near my boyfriend, or I will end you and make you regret ever being born!" The fat lady shouted at Aranya, spitting each time she spoke, her nostrils flaring as she breathed. The passersby were quite disgusted by the taste of Ashen Graves, who still stood beside her with a loving expression, hugging the fat, ugly lady. "Damn... The Young Master of the Graves Family sure has some heavy taste," a young man muttered playfully toward his friends, who nodded back at him.

'This 4ucking trash thinks he can show off in front of me? Let me embarrass you so much that you won’t have the courage to appear in front of me ever again.' Devansh glanced at Ashen Graves, who was gnashed his teeth and glared at him with anger. "Who are you calling a dog, you wretch... ohhh, I get it. This is not enough for you? Then how about this... now you should fuck off before I lose my patience." Ashen Graves stood in front of Devansh, grabbed his collar, and threw another bundle of notes in his face while sneering at him. "Ohh... wow, you sure are rich... throwing money around. Too bad this isn't enough to let you have my table." Devansh grinned at him and spoke in a sarcastic tone. Even though he was being held by the collar, he didn't mind it and remained very calm about it."You really are pissing me off...!" Ashen Graves hardened his expression as he clenched his fists while tightening his hold on his collar. "And you are making me mad...!" Kiran Ratna's eyes were a
19. A Date With Goddess Ratna
"So, where do you want to go?" Devansh asked as he drove his bike slowly. "Anywhere you want to go, as long as it's a good place," Kiran Ratna replied, her tone a little weird, though Devansh couldn't put his finger on why. 'Hmm... his personality is very attentive, and his back feels protective. It gives me the feeling that I am very safe with him,' Kiran Ratna's thoughts ran wild in her head as she sniffed his unique fragrance, coming from Devansh's hormones, which had been tempered a little by the System. 'Is the rumor really true?' Kiran Ratna's thoughts started to wander as she remembered the rumors floating around in the university forum. 'Is he really a rich young master, experiencing an ordinary person's life?' Kiran was starting to believe the rumor but was still doubtful about it, which was why she planned to confirm it during their little date today. "Alright... I know a place you might like!" Devansh thought for a bit before his eyes lit up as he remembered somet

What does she want?" He looked at his phone, seeing messages from Kiran Ratna. "Devansh: What's up, Miss Ratna? You remember me so early in the morning!"Devansh opened ChatWise and typed in their private chat. A reply came immediately. "Kiran: Well, I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for what you did yesterday. So, are you free today?" Looking at the message, he smiled, seeing that she wasn't asking why he did that or where he got the money from. 'How thoughtful of her, not poking for details,' Devansh thought in his head. "Devansh: Well, I am free. It's not like we have any classes today." "Kiran: Great! Then let's meet at MoonHeart Square an hour later!"Devansh: Ohh... Alright." "What exactly is this lady planning?

The roommates of Devansh gritted their teeth in anger, seeing the malicious comments on their Goddess's channel."They won’t back down unless someone teaches them a lesson. They really are underestimating her charm." Devansh smirked coldly, seeing the blind fans of Xiaomai trash-talking on Kiran Ratna's channel."Hmmn... who the hell is this!"
