Strength is Everything

After making his exit from his class William made his way back to his dorm, it needed to get stronger because only the strong will have good lives while the weak will be suppressed at will. 

While walking he sometimes stopped to look around the school, even if he had the other William's memories it was different to see it for himself, in the Winter with snow covering the ground the campus looked beautiful, William had to admit that it was a beautiful place. 

After finally he made his way back and began searching his belongings for anything worth money.

Mages were essentially humans born with a certain mutation that allowed them to use mana, as a mage it was not easy to increase one's strength quickly, generally speaking, mages got stronger with age but that could be measured in decades while William was looking for something to become stronger quickly.

Even if he had the memories of someone extremely powerful he was currently limited by body strength and mana capacity, to increase those the easiest way is to drink powerful potions. As one would guess potions are very expensive and hard to get for average people so it would not be easy to get one unless someone had both money and connections.

Since he had neither currently he had to start one step at a time, and that was seeing if he had any valuables.  

After a few minutes, he sat on his bed and released a sign, excluding stuff he would need there were a few silver coins and some old books and manuals. All in he would be shocked if he got more than two gold for it all, let alone a potion to increase his strength he would be pressed to get the lowest-grade healing potions for that.

As he thought of ways to gather money he thought of some possibilities, he could steal money, scam people, get one of the part-time jobs offered on campus, or create some kind of business. 

None of them sounded particularly appealing to William as he sat on his bed slightly unhappy.

'If only I could be a paid tutor, I could make good money and I will be able to do it so easily. Tutoring a bunch of rich kids would also build many good connections that could bear fruit in the future. '

This was a good idea except for the fact that he was known to not be particularly smart and was very disliked by most students, what kind of idiot would hire him as a tutor, someone even stupider than that? 

As he was contemplating what to do he heard a knock at his door, at first he was annoyed because he thought some other annoying kids came to beat him up but when he opened up the door he saw a familiar face, it was Sofie Warhall.

At first, William was somewhat confused, why was she here, from what he knew although he talked to her often they were not exactly best friends, it was even more surprising when she walked in a closed the door behind her.

"What did you come here for Sofie, you have never come over to visit me before."

In response, she turned and looked up at him.

"Today in class you talked some very big talk, I wonder if it is true or just talk?"

"Oh, did you think I would cling to you while you clearly barely tolerated me, does it make you annoyed that I wouldn't stick around like a loser and wait for you to pick me?" 

In truth when he looked through the other William's memories he realized that Sofie actually did not very have any interest in him, she simply liked having a handsome boy following her around. He had met such a woman in his past life, and they enjoyed getting attention from men like a drug, the moment you stopped giving them the attention they would become genuinely angry you would not waste your time following them like a groupie. 

"Hmm, I do like having such a handsome man pay so much attention to me but I am not here for that, I want to know if you can back up what you said earlier."

William suddenly realized that she seemed to have some kind of goal in coming here, and since her question was so specific and she was adamant about it her goal was clear.

"You want to know if I am good at sex? I wouldn't call myself an expert since some professionals are very skilled but satisfying some spoiled rich girls is very easy for me, if you don't believe me you can try it out yourself."

After responding he looked out the window completely ignoring Sofie who was currently thinking about something very intently. After some time she finally spoke.

"Since you seem so confident fine, let's do it. If you cannot satisfy me I'll definitely tell my brothers you did stuff to me, if you are not confident then say so and we can pretend nothing happened."

William finally turned to look at her with a baffled look, what kind of deal was that? 

"You want me to fuck you but why should I do that? Do you think guys just always want to mindlessly have sex? You clearly just gave me very unfavorable terms but won't even give me some kind of compensation? Why should I do something good for you for free?"

Sofie looked at him with a surprised expression, didn't pretty much all guys look at her wanting to have sex with her, now this guy given the chance was asking for compensation? She was almost sure he wouldn't have been like this last week, is it because her brothers beat him up?

"Fine, if you are so skillful that you make me want to come back for my another time I will help you get with my friends too."

William was once again surprised, was there something weird with this girl or was this world just like that? 

"What are the benefits even if I bed all of your friends?"

He knew that this kind of situation is risky, he could gain from getting intimately acquainted with girls from rich families but if even one of them fell out with him it would be like a house of cards. 

Sofie seemed confident that it was a boom that would sway him so he was interested.

"I am friends with the most beautiful and rich girls in the senior class, wouldn't the idea of having them all under you in a moaning mess satisfy your male ego? Well since it seems you would rather present yourself as a prostitute and get paid then I am sure they will pay to keep you in their clutches if you are as good as you claim. I'll let you in on a little secret, all those icey and elegant beauties are just a bunch of horny teenagers that would jump on a dick faster than you can imagine if they had reliable information it would satisfy their hunger." 

William was mildly surprised at how straightforward she was being, despite what she said it was kind of clear that her friend group was looking for a guy that they could all fuck. For high-status women, it is detrimental to be labeled a slut or a whore, and the more points of failure the more risky it is to engage in elicit activities. To solve this problem Sofie and her friends decided to find themselves a boy toy that they could drown in money and lust to ensure nothing would ever get out to affect their status. Knowing high society many of them were probably engaged already and it would severely affect their future or even their family if they were caught. 

That is why Sofie even approached him, he is not from a big family and could be bought with minimal effort, as one would expect these women would also want a handsome and skilled man. Essentially if William could prove to be skilled in bed he could become a stud with a group of rich and beautiful girls who will come to him anytime they want to relieve their stress. 

The more William thought about it the more hilarious he found it, earlier today he did not imagine an opportunity like this would fall on his lap, he could get money and influence, and worse comes to worst he could blackmail all these girls in the future.

In truth, William actually felt slightly bad for Sofie, after all, she was in charge of finding the stud for her friends, which meant that she was the expendable one, if she got exposed to having sex it would be drama but since her family was simply rich and not particularly influential or strong and she was not engaged it would not cause a big problem. 

It also meant that she potentially had to sleep with quite a few guys until she found someone to bring back to her friend group. 

After thinking for a few seconds William decided that he should have some fun since it would also be very helpful in obtaining resources.

"Don't worry Sofie, after I am done with you it will be a miracle if you can walk tomorrow."

Before she started getting too excited she remembered she had club today and since it started in the late morning she most likely had to hurry back to get ready. With a few deep breaths, she got dressed and left William's room, if all went her way she would be returning there many times in the future.

After a few more hours the man left and the shop was completely deserted other than William passed out on the wood floor and an unassuming book on the empty counter.

While absentmindedly walking up to his room on the third floor, he wondered what they were doing in the boy's dorms since it was rare for girls to come there. Once he got inside he was surprised to see a letter that was slid under his door, as curiosity got the better of him he sat down to open it.

Seeing Sarah for the first time, she looked at her without any emotion. "Is he from your family? Well, I need him to spend the night getting me pregnant today; if he is promised to someone else, I can compensate your family for taking him." "May I ask who the person who wants to have a child with me is?" Turning to look at him, the woman revealed a small smile.

    The following day, William woke up with the sun high in the sky and let out a groggy yawn, the events of the night and morning before playing out in his mind. Thinking about his overflowing passion, he became slightly embarrassed before looking to the side to see Sarah still sleeping; she looked beautiful under the sheets and peaceful. William had not taken any other potions in this life, so the Enchanter's Ember essence he had taken the past few days had taken effect, and his mana sensitivity improved somewhat. He didn't want to disturb her, so he injected much mana into the Tome of Arcana. Feeling the frosty feeling of mana being siphoned out of him at a rapid rate, William was left marveling at the time. He was sure it was an item with many secrets. After that, William went and had lunch prepared by the staff. He liked the way the villa was set up. The staff only came to deliver meals and clean them up, waiting for the people living there to go out to enter and leave the house

    As mana continued to swirl around the dining table, creating a stationary tornado of invisible might, William could feel the world around him changing from a charcoal sketch to a vibrant watercolor. Everything seemed more substantial, and the world became more lively. As his perception changed, his senses were bombarded with feelings of euphoria more intense than any sexual experience possible, the hair on his body brushing against his clothing sending shocks through his body as he was lost in a sea of unprecedented pleasure. After nearly 10 minutes, the vortex of mana finally abated as he adjusted to the changes in perception. As he opened his eyes, he could see the dining room mostly intact, with small objects near him pushed away and the dining table pushed a few inches. Around 6 feet away from him, Sarah stood there staring at him, waiting for the phenomenon to end. When he spotted her, he fully realized the extent to which his vision had changed.

When boys begin the path to power, many boys have a ridiculous goal of having many beautiful lovers who will unconditionally love them. In reality, William was similar in his younger years; growing up in a non-magical middle-class family, he would often dream of charming a princess, spending the rest of his life in bliss within some elegant palace, and having many children. Looking back at the beginning of his previous life, he couldn't help but be emotional; what would he of that time think if he saw the scene of the daughter of a duke begging for me? Well.... It's probably best he didn't see that. Then his mind went to the potion flasks; they had once contained Enchanter's Ember Essence; this potion dr

    Thoroughly Provoked

    On the carriage ride back to the villa they were living in, Sarah was feeling highly peeved. People without much experience in noble circles might miss it, but she was well aware that Princess Natalia was continuously disrespecting and attempting to provoke her. From the moment she invited herself to join their private dinner until the end, the princess talked down to her many times and openly flaunted her wealth like a law-class businessman who had just closed their first big deal. If only their statuses were more similar, she would have been able to respond with righteous indignation; unfortunately, she was a princess of an empire while she was merely the daughter of a duke coming from a small country in the surrounding area. In truth, without her own academic and magical success, Natalia would definitely not care about someone like her, but since she took notice and seemed to acknowledge her as some sort of rival, she acted so rudely. Thinking about this, Sarah was enraged;

After a cursory glance, anyone could tell she was a rare beauty, with dark gray hair flowing down to her low back and pitch-black eyes that seemed to hide a dark secret. Seeing her arrive, Sarah stood up to greet her. "Good evening, Your Majesty; I am Sarah Goldcrest; it is an honor to meet you." It did not matter what number of princess she was. Royalty had to be treated a certain way. "It is good to meet you as well; who might this gentleman be?" "Hello, your majesty. My name is William Sterling; it is a pleasure to meet you."

Like this, the only constant in human behavior is eternal change, sometimes evolution and sometimes degeneration, humans will always seek novelty. People often create suffering where it does not exist and find happiness in the depths of despair; only with something to compare to can people truly experience the vivacities of life. It did not even take until their main course arrived before William and Sarah experienced the strangeness of humanity.

    A Late Lunch or an Early Dinner?

    After leaving the alchemy guild, William and Sarah returned to the carriage that had brought them originally. It was situated less than a hundred meters away, and the coachman, an older gentleman named Oliver, was waiting for them. William had talked with him a few times and understood that he was Sarah's primary guard while living outside the country and was a very competent mage. Although he did not live in the villa with them, he would accompany them whenever they left for protection. As they got into the carriage, Sarah turned to William. "We should go to a nice restaurant to celebrate doing so well. Do you have anywhere you would like to go?" Hearing her question, William couldn't help but feel a little weird being treated like this but didn't overthink it. She was a wealthy noble daughter, and he was a broke kid from a working-class family. Even with his knowledge, it didn't change that he was currently lacking in his means. Realistically, he had been waiting for the potio
