With every training session under old man Jakens and my secret sessions with Jessica, I felt myself growing stronger, both in my cultivations and my hidden skills. The progress was undeniable, and the thrill of pushing my limits kept me motivated.
"System, what's my current status?" I muttered under my breath, curious to see how far I'd come. A translucent screen materialized before my eyes, displaying my stats in glowing letters: [Host's current status Time Cultivation: Level 28 Healing Cultivation: Level 29 Pervert skill: Level 20] I smirked at the last line. The Pervert skill was a peculiar one, but it had its uses. Still, my focus was on the deal I'd made with Jessica. Just one more level, and I would have had her body all to myself. The thought alone was enough to make my heart race, but I quickly pushed it aside. There was no point dwelling on what could have been. "Nice going, Ashbourne. You did quite well," Jessica said, her voice breaking through my thoughts. She stood before me, her arms crossed and a playful smile on her lips. "Sadly, you won't be rewarded as per the deal because you didn't reach the requirements." She giggled, clearly enjoying my disappointment. I scratched the back of my head, forcing a smile. "Yeah, I figured as much. But hey, at least I got stronger, right?" Jessica nodded, her expression softening. "You did. Your progress is impressive. From levels 7 to 28 in Time Cultivation and level 5 to 29 in Healing Cultivation in just three weeks? That's not something just anyone can pull off." Her words were encouraging, but they also reminded me of how much I still had to learn. The deal with Jessica had been a driving force, pushing me to train harder and faster than ever before. Even though I hadn't met the requirements, the progress I'd made was undeniable. And now, with Jessica's friend arriving in town, I had a new opportunity to strengthen my team. "My friend has finally arrived, Ashbourne. Do you still want to meet up?" Jessica asked, her tone casual but her eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Yeah, sure, we can," I replied, my mind already racing with plans. I couldn't forget my background plan of making money through hunt-and-pay missions. Recruiting Jessica's friend would make our group tougher and reduce our chances of dying in the dangerous world of assassins. It was a win-win situation. "She said she'll meet us at the town square by noon in her letter," Jessica explained as we made our way through the bustling streets. I was eager to meet her friend, a living human who used the rare Curse Cultivation. As a rare cultivator myself, I knew how valuable such an ally could be. The thought of adding her to our team filled me with anticipation. After a quick workout to clear my mind, I followed Jessica to the town square. The place was alive with activity, merchants hawking their wares, children playing in the streets, and adventurers exchanging stories of their latest exploits. I scanned the crowd, trying to guess which one of them was Jessica's friend. "Melanie!" Jessica suddenly shouted, waving at a figure in the distance. The figure waved back, and as she approached, I got a better look at her. She was a dark-skinned elf with striking dark purple hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night. Her figure was nothing short of breathtaking, curved hips, a slender waist, and an ample bust that drew the eyes of every man in the vicinity. Yet, despite her allure, there was an air of danger about her that kept people at bay. Her sharp, serious gaze softened as she drew closer, revealing a warm smile. "It's been a while, Jessica," Melanie said, pulling her friend into a tight hug. She then turned to me, her eyes narrowing slightly as she assessed me. "Who's he? Your boyfriend?" she teased, a smirk playing on her lips. Jessica blushed, her cheeks turning a deep shade of red. "I wish," she muttered under her breath before quickly adding, "This is Ashbourne. Ashbourne, meet Melanie." "Nice to meet you," I said, extending my hand. To my surprise, she shook it firmly, her grip strong and confident. "The honour's mine," Melanie replied, her dimples showing as she smiled. "I've heard a lot about you from Jessica here." "Stop, Melanie. You're embarrassing me," Jessica protested, her blush deepening. I couldn't help but chuckle at their banter. It was clear that the two of them shared a close bond, and I found myself feeling more at ease in their presence. "Why don't we find somewhere more private and comfortable to talk?" I suggested, glancing around at the crowded square. The last thing we needed was prying ears or wandering eyes. We found a cosy ramen store on the next street. The place was designed to pique customers' attention, with its warm lighting, wooden decor, and the tantalizing aroma of broth and spices wafting through the air. We settled into a corner booth, and as we waited for our orders, Melanie began to share her story. "Jessica must have told you, I'm a Curse Cultivator and an assassin. I was kicked out of my club because of my reckless killings," she said, her tone tinged with pride. I raised an eyebrow, unsure whether to be impressed or concerned. Reckless killings didn't exactly scream team player, but her confidence was undeniable. "Well, I'm a Time Cultivator," I replied. "No jobs at the moment, but you'd be a valuable asset to my team in our future missions." Melanie leaned back in her seat, her expression thoughtful. "I don't mind joining, as long as no one stops me or reprimands me for unnecessary kills." Her words reminded me of the heroes from my past life, those who had made me meet a tragic end despite their fame and recognition. I recalled a headline I'd once overheard in a bar that 'I died in a quest, despite being warned not to go alone'. It was a sobering thought, but it also reinforced my determination to build a team that could survive the dangers ahead and avenge my past self. "No problems with that," I assured her. "But I'd love to see you in action. I want to know how Curse Cultivation works." Melanie's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Sure. I'll show you what I can do." "Why do I feel left out here?" Jessica interjected, pouting playfully. "At least let me in on the conversation." We all laughed, the tension easing as we continued our introductions. Despite her dark cultivation and assassin background, Melanie had a surprisingly pleasant. She was confident, witty, and carried herself with an air of mystery that was both intriguing and intimidating. As the conversation flowed, I decided to test her resolve. "System, activate Pervert," I murmured, barely above a whisper. [Ding! Pervert skill activated.] The skill allowed me to influence others' emotions, making them more susceptible to attraction or arousal depending on my level. I decided to test it on Melanie, curious to see how she'd react. "So, what are you doing tonight?" I asked, my tone casual but laced with subtle intent. Melanie raised an eyebrow, her expression unreadable. "Nothing, I guess. I'll have to wait until we start our assassinations before I can do something reasonable with my life." I frowned, surprised that the skill hadn't worked. Was it because of my level, or was it her Curse Cultivation that made her immune? "The second is right," Melanie said, as if reading my thoughts. "My Curse Cultivation allows me to resist any form of hypnosis or mental manipulation." I nodded, impressed. "So this is what peak Curse Cultivation feels like. Nice." Getting this cultivation would be peak, but I couldn't get any way of getting it at the moment. Clearly, adding her to the team was the right choice. With her around, I won't have to worry about all of us getting into hypnosis or mental manipulation. The rest of the evening passed in a blur of laughter and conversation. By the time we parted ways, I felt confident that Melanie would be a valuable addition to our team. As I headed back to old man Jakens' place, my mind was already racing with plans for the future.

The system's interface was sleek, almost futuristic, with a faint hum that resonated in the air. My stats were clear and undeniable:[Current Stats: Time Cultivation: Level 60 Healing Cultivation: Level 65 Pervert: Level 105]I smirked at the last one. It wasn't exactly a skill I'd been aiming to improve, but somehow, it had become a defining trait. Still, the other stats were what mattered. My Time Cultivation had reached Level 60, allowing me to manipulate time in short bursts, slowing it down, speeding it up, or even freezing it for a fraction of a second.

Pleasure System: From Healer to Harem King Chapter 1: Introduction
My former life was a tapestry of pain, woven with threads of betrayal, suffering, and despair. At times, I wished I had never asked the system to infuse my memories back into me at the age of sixteen. But I needed to remember. I needed to know why I was reincarnated, why I was given a second chance. The memories were a burden, but they were also my compass, guiding me toward the vengeance I so desperately craved. When I turned sixteen, the floodgates of my past life burst open, and the memories rushed in like a torrential storm. I remembered everything, every scream, every tear, every moment of helplessness. Most of all, I remembered how I died. --- I was once a young healer, naive and full of hope. I had joined the renowned Heroes' Guild, believing it to be a place where I could make a difference. The guild was supposed to be a sanctuary for the weak, a bastion of justice where heroes protected the innocent. But for me, it became a prison of unimaginable horrors. The co

I folded my hands, staring intently at the glowing interface of the system before me. Its holographic display shimmered faintly in the dim light of my small, cluttered room. The words on the screen were clear, yet the weight of their meaning felt almost unbearable. "This is my chance to take revenge," I thought, my jaw tightening. "But starting out now will only end in an early death."The system had revealed the truth to me, a truth I had long suspected but never fully understood. My parents, both once revered as heroes, had been betrayed by those they trusted most. Their downfall was orchestrated by a group of S-rank cultivators, individuals so powerful that their very names struck fear into the hearts of ordinary people. And here I was, Ashbourne, a young man with nothing but a fledgling time cultivation and a burning desire for justice.I sighed, running a hand through my disheveled hair. The system's cold, mechanical voice echoed in my mind, reminding me of the harsh reality.
Pleasure System: From Healer to Harem King Chapter 3: First quest
The old man, Jakens, wasn't exactly the warmest person I'd ever met. His gruff demeanor and sharp tongue made it clear that he wasn't thrilled about having me around. But despite his cold exterior, he had accepted me into his home, and for a 16-year-old kid with nowhere else to go, that was more than enough. I didn't need his affection, just a roof over my head and a chance to grow stronger. The first day with him was uneventful. He didn't train me or teach me anything about cultivation. Instead, he took me to Judíos, the nearby town, to show me around and gather supplies. Judíos was a bustling place, filled with merchants, adventurers, and townsfolk going about their daily lives. The streets were lined with colorful stalls selling everything from fresh produce to enchanted trinkets. The air was thick with the scent of roasted meats and the sound of lively chatter.

Keeping up that form hadn't been easy. The strain of maintaining the transformation magic was immense, and I could feel the toll it took on my body and mind. If it weren't for the system regulating the flow of energy, I would have collapsed long before reaching safety. The thought of what could have gone wrong sent a shiver down my spine, creating an alternate timeline or getting stuck in that form forever were risks I couldn't afford. Old man Jakens had warned me about the dangers of tampering with time and form, and for once, I was glad I had listened. As soon as I reached a secluded spot, far from prying eyes, I released the magic. The transformation unraveled like a coiled spring, and I felt my body shift back to its natural state. The relief was immediate, but the exhaustion lingered. I slumped against a tree, catching my breath and reflecting on the experience.

The training under the waterfall had become a ritual, a grueling test of endurance and focus. For seven days straight, I stood beneath the crushing weight of the cascading water, my body trembling under its relentless force. The roar of the waterfall drowned out all other sounds, creating a cocoon of noise that forced me to turn inward, to rely on my cultivation to maintain my balance and sanity.

Chapter 7: Idea
As we reached Jessica's apartment, I quickly ushered her inside and shut the door behind us, locking it securely. My heart was still racing from the encounter in the forest. Those ninjas we had stumbled upon didn't look ordinary, their presence was ominous, their movements too precise, and their aura unsettling. I couldn't shake the feeling that we had narrowly avoided something dangerous. Jessica flopped down on the sofa, her expression a mix of curiosity and concern. "So... would you mind telling me now?" she asked, her voice soft but insistent. She had been patient, but I could tell she was growing tired of my evasiveness. I hesitated, leaning against the door as I weighed my options. Should I tell her about my past life, my reincarnation, and the strange abilities I had gained? Jessica and I had only known each other for a few weeks, but she had already proven herself to be trustworthy. Still, the secrets I carried were heavy, and revealing them could put her in even gre
Chapter 6: The Past lingers
Waking up, I stretched lazily, the faint morning light filtering through the curtains of Jessica's small but cozy apartment. My gaze drifted to my right, where Jessica lay beside me on the couch, still half-asleep and half-naked. Her golden hair spilled over the cushions like sunlight, and her nipples peeked through the thin fabric of her tank top. I couldn't resist reaching out to gently squeeze her breast, feeling the warmth of her skin beneath my fingers. She stirred slightly but didn't wake, her breathing steady and calm.Reluctantly, I stood up and made my way to the bathroom to clean up. The apartment was modest, filled with the faint scent of lavender and the occasional hum of the city outside. Jessica's place was a sanctuary, a stark contrast to the chaotic world beyond its walls, a world where cultivators, ninjas, and guilds vied for power, and where systems and cultivations dictated one's place in society.When I returned, Jessica was already awake, moving gracefully aroun
