Not long after, the class was over. The song was long and so it took up most of the class. Lucas left the room along with the other students. Everyone was talking excitedly about the song and its origin. Behind the group of students, Marcus and his girlfriend were talking in low voices.
“You said you met him in the first class. What do you think of him?”
Amelia asked Marcus, who went silent for a few moments. He seemed to be thinking about what he was going to say.
“It’s still too early to tell, I’ve had few interactions with him. From what I’ve seen, he’s bold but friendly. Talented, seems to enjoy showing off his skills but is not arrogant. These are my impressions.”
Amelia was looking at Lucas’s back as she listened to Marcus’s words. In a way, Marcus’s impression seemed correct, she also had that kind of impression of him.
“I agree with you, but I’m not talking about it.”
Marcus looked at Amelia, and upon noticing her gaze, he finally understood what she meant, and a strange expression appeared on his face. He looked at Lucas and said.
“We barely know him, I don’t know if I’m comfortable with that.”
“Yeah, what if he cheats on us? We need to proceed with caution.”
Turning his gaze back to Amelia, Marcus asked in a low voice.
“Do you find him attractive?”
“Of course he is, he’s very handsome. He’s also talented and daring like you said.”
Hearing her words, he strangely nodded his head slightly as if in agreement with her. Not noticing that small gesture, Amelia turned to Marcus and said.
“Did you say you invited him to the climbing club?”
“Yes, but he didn’t accept. He said he wanted to see it first. I told him to come to see me at lunch so we could talk.”
“Perfect, so let’s talk to him together.”
“Fine, but I still think it’s too early to decide.”
“Let’s meet him first.”
The two then parted ways and went to different rooms. Before he completely lost sight of Lucas, Marcus saw him talking to Violette and his expression turned cold.
“Bitch.”
“The live I posted is gaining repercussion on the internet. It’s only been twenty minutes, but the number of views is rapidly increasing, look.”
On the way to the next class, Lucas found Violette waiting for him in the hallway. She looked strangely excited as she commented on how she’d live-streamed his performance on her cell phone earlier.
“Hm ... I don’t know if I like it. Can you delete this?”
Lucas doesn’t like much attention. Having worked as an assassin before, fame is something that is very far from his reality. Every famous assassin is incompetent, and most of the time disappears in a short time. Although Lucas is known in the underworld for being Katia’s son, he is not known as an assassin, so his fame is quite limited even in the underworld. Few people know of his existence, even fewer know of his deeds, and almost no one knows him personally.
About his work as an assassin, there are at most speculations.
So fame isn’t something he’s used to, and knowing that a video of him has appeared on the internet makes him uncomfortable.
“I can delete it if you want, but I think the video has already been downloaded and uploaded to other platforms.”
Lucas knows how complicated the internet can be. Anything that appears on the internet stays on the internet forever. It’s not like it’s impossible to censor the video, and Lucas even has the methods and resources to do so. He was thinking of doing just that but changed his mind when he heard the following words from Caritas.
“Fame is important to a God, remember that. If you want to grow as a Candidate for God of Love, you need to be famous. You need to demonstrate your virtues and capabilities. A famous person can also do things that a normal person cannot do: influencing people; this is very important for the God of Love.”
“Influence how?”
“What kind of God are you a candidate for? You need to influence people in the path of love. The biggest proof that I’m telling the truth is that the system has already created a mission for you to follow a path of fame.”
“What mission?”
“It seems that the repercussion of the live that Violette posted on the internet caught the attention of the system. According to the calculations made, the number of views will increase a lot and you will become relatively famous.”
An electronic voice sounded in Lucas’s head.
Main Quest: Become a Metuber
As a candidate for God of Love, you need to be someone well known to the masses. To influence people on the path of love, as a candidate for God of Love you not only need to be virtuous and kind but also have the influence and charisma capable of influencing people. Prove your charisma by gaining influence using the internet and gaining followers.
AN: All characters are 18 years or older. Damn, this took a bit of thinking on what exactly I wanted this story to be for while. Originally it was titled "Your Princesses" and was going to be a 2nd Person POV story. Also the character you become would be named Morgan Godfrey who other possible writers for the story could set up as a male/female human or some other race like elf or something. But, some new ideas I thought of weren't fitting that original story. So, here we are, a 3rd Person...

Jenny was asleep in another room and the thought of her asleep in that very thin pajamas that I saw her put on after her shower was making my cock even harder and excited so then and there I decided ill go pay her a little visit. I didn’t go with anything in mind really but just wanted to see her body as she slept, we had a very full day before and very eventful night so I figured she would be asleep soundly and as I approached the doorway I could hear light snoring so I knew that she was....

Colonel Redding sat at the security desk, laying back in the chair, eyes darting from t.v to t.v trying to see how on earth Project X escaped. He'd been doing this for over an hour now, ever since at 0100 hours he escaped. At 0300 hours they stopped searching and had resorted to using their satellites, tracking devices and anything else that would aid them in their search for him. He had been furious at the guard for letting him escape and was now hellbent on finding some clue as to to how he...

You don't remember circumstances you got your power, or received your training with it. There was some lights involved, you think, and a voice mentioning "Hey guys, watch this, it'll be REALLY funny. C'mon, hold my beer." Then you woke up in your bed, understanding your new potential. The first day was small things - adding money to your wallet, cleaning your room in an instant, fixing your car - and from there, you've started playing around with it more and more. Now, though, you were ready...
Mind ControlDean Fawkes was a bit of a loser in high school with no friends and especially no girlfriends. This caused him to drift into an outsider and toughens up to fit what society had deemed him to be. His luck changed one day in his senior year when he was visited by a girl during lunch. Beatrix Winters, a very attractive junior girl, saw the tough unwanted boy and sought to show him love and affection. Their relationship blossomed and remained to this day three years later. But it seemed as though...

Blake Mathers wakes up as his phone pings with a notification. The young man recently turned 18, and in his last year of high school. He has some time before he needs to get ready for school. He stretches his arms as he yawns. Blake rubs his eyes and checks his phone. 'Apps you might like' notification along the top banner of his screen. Blake groans, "Why the Hell would they send something like that this early in the morning?" The dark-haired young man taps the notification. The app store...
BisexualHe’d battled them throughout the swamp, his hammer having little effect. Brute force failed to defeat them. Instead, he looked for other monsters and the dumb swamp slimes would get distracted and engage them instead. Using this method, he made his way through the forest with swamp slimes acting as his unknowing allies. He needed more varied skills. For one, when force failed him, he found himself in a disadvantageous position. Another point he wrote in his notes. They also needed another...
He’d seen twisted trees, sickly grass, and muddy ground ever since leaving the miasma. Checking Axel’s pulse and breath, Rayner saw no improvement in his condition. As he rested among the cursed land, he took out his list. In only a short time it had gotten long and increasingly ambitious. But now he wanted to focus on the basics. The game-like system has several key differences from what he was familiar with back home. A review of what he had learned was in order. Attributes like speed,...
He had to buy it, and Axel thought they should have given it to them for free as a thank you for saving them. Rayner insisted the refugees were not in a position to give anything away for free. Besides, he had checked its authenticity, and it was a good map. “So, what’s the plan?” Rayner said. “I know you have one. You must, because we’re heading off into the countryside on our own. That has not worked out too well in the past.” “You’re the one who signed up for this quest,” Axel said. “I...
They had escaped the forest and now traveled across rolling hills and farmland, looking for civilization. After much discussion they agreed to avoid cities, not wanting to be near the center of events. They still did not know what to do in this world. Yazid wanted them to be a force that did not have any loyalty to the gods, to help people without asking for permission. “Is that smoke?” Rayner said. “Yes, I can smell it from here. Let’s go around it,” Axel said. “There could be people in...
A dozen students were ahead of him and he didn’t feel like wasting the remainder of his lunchtime, opting to grab the tasteless burgers from the shorter line instead. After loading up his tray with food, he looked for his friend Rayner. Axel saw him near the back by the window, chatting with Yazid. He did not want to deal with the eccentric teen. He just wanted to have a peaceful lunch. There was no avoiding it, sitting with anyone else was not an option. It was the price for having such a...
To start this story we have to go a ways back. For a little framework, I was born to an already broken marriage. My father a serial cheater and my mother could never fully let him go. I know they maintained a physical relationship years after the divorce, everyone saw the signs. He had too much charm and equally excessive libido. I guess that is where I get it. I was always told I was just like him. I was great at sports, was a natural leader, good looking, and you guessed it, i did...
In the now crowded brothel, Axel sat with his own full mug of devil’s water, brooding over the events since he was summoned to this world. Almost from the beginning, he and his best friend Rayner had been embroiled in conflict, battling goblins, Inimi soldiers, bandits, and even dragons. All he wanted now was to slip into obscurity and keep a low profile. Too much attention brought the wrong kind of scrutiny. People would start asking dangerous questions about them. Questions they could not...
All Axel knew of the man was that he clashed with Evans who also held the rank of captain. Their roles differed in that Evans patrolled the outside of the city and Kreg patrolled the inside. Evans received greater attention and accolades for his work, spawning jealously from the longtime captain. At the other side of the table the representative of the merchant class, Ivan, poured over a ledger. He would remove his nose from the ledger only to scribble notes. Every so often he would remove...
The town of Ridgehill deserved its name. Ridges surrounded it, providing a suitable defense. The three armies camped outside the town used those Ridges as cover. However, as Vix and his two companions sneaked past the camp and into the town, it was clear their natural defenses bred a lack of security. The town brimmed with activity and desperation. Women haggled with street vendors and the homeless hustled used goods on street corners. It reminded Vix of a poor city instead of town in a...
When Axel exited the cramped tunnel, he found the worshipers already engaged in combat. Rayner, however, was nowhere in sight, meaning he’d gone deeper into the battle to fight more fearsome foes. Axel knew Rayner was alive because of the way the worshipers fought. They were all under the effects of Rayner’s skill, Battle Cry. It meant Rayner was doing his part and Axel had to do his own. Since all the monsters were engaged and Colin and Haro were taking up the task of keeping other enemies...

It only took a few minutes to walk to the edge of the Fount. Bright energy-laden Ether spurted up like water under high pressure from the rift in the ground in front of him. Jake saw what the others could not: the rift between the planes was only about a eighteen inches across, but the stream was nearly quarter of a mile across itself, and shot nearly ten times as high. Jake marveled at the care that must have gone into constructing such a well of power in the mortal plane. Brent had...
The Goddess' Blessing By Angie "kitn" Hughes Spring equinox had finally arrived, tonight was the night. The moon was nicely full, too, an added bonus. Tracy turned off the monitor on his computer and walked over to his personal altar. All the components for the spell he was researching were gathered and waiting. He looked around his room to be sure everything was in place, his bed neatly made, his clothes clean and put away, his floor clean as he could manage... All of the...
Girl-worship has been my life, from the very first hard-on. Mostly I’d cum thinking about them, using the entries in my little black book recording what they’d worn that day, things they said and did. Occasionally I’d be lucky enough to get ‘lucky views’ as I call them, seeing a bulging jumper or even knickers. It was rare back then that I got the opportunity to spunk seeing them for real, but as I looked out my window every day after school, I was treated once or twice to the joy of seeing one...
John Newton never intended to destroy the world; he just wanted a harem. And not just any harem; he could have gotten that without going to the lengths he did. No, he wanted a harem of gods. The young yet brilliant scientist, in a workshop at his house, readied his device, packing it up in a trunk. In another trunk would go batteries he had charged to meet the crazy power needs of his device. Where he was going, there weren't any power outlets. He struggled to carry the two trunks out of his...
FantasyThe Sky Marshals engines burned brightly through the early morning sky. Those underneath knew not of the hope the two spots of light represented and some even ran in fear, thinking only of the lights to which came before it. A silvery monster had landed only hours before spewing dark demons into the city. Slaughter was indiscriminate and every passing moment became more terrifying than the last. Dark shadowy creatures and giant slimy figures with eerie toothy grins roamed the streets. Shooting...

FantasyEros sighed. Today was turning out like every other day he'd suffered for aeons. Stuck on Mount Olympus, occasionally shooting an arrow at a nymph for target practice, the minor God was getting sick of the routine. "Mother, can you please tell me why I'm not allowed out in the human world?" Eros asked Aphrodite, a question she'd grown accustomed to hearing. "Because," the goddess of love began, "you can't be trusted out there. Every time we let you out, you mess with natural law and people end...
GayWell dear, I just finished writing that info document and I was feeling pretty sexy so I thought I’d try my hand at something a bit different for fun, mainly to write the sexiest, most provocative letter I could think of describing the way I want to fuck you. I have this big hard on right now thinking about those lovely little tits of yours, tight and firm rubbing against my chest, making their presence felt from the heat of your skin, the bulge of your nipples.

Mind ControlI woke up looking at the ceiling, which was pretty close considering I was on top of a bunk bed. jumping down I got dressed and looked in the mirror. "Not bad" I said I was 134 pounds and none of it was fat, but I was pretty skinny for a senior in high school, i had short brown hair and brown eyes and I was not bad looking. Grabbing a handful of nuts, two vitamin gummies and a torn of piece of bread I shouted by to my mom and ate my breakfast on the way up to my best friends house. Me, Alana...
Mind ControlThe Inimi, being outnumbered and attacked from all sides, retreated. Causalities were minimal; the leader of the Inimi army had executed a brilliant retreat leaving their goblin allies behind to distract the enemy while the rest escaped. Sucks to be a goblin. Kevia told Axel people would forget their deeds in time, and he wanted them to, but it jarred him to see it happen. The handsome guard at the gate who had seen them off didn’t even recognize them. All the attention shifted to another...
A woman sitting by his bed left calling for a man named John. When John came, he explained what happened while Axel was sleeping. “He did what?” “He left to fight the dragons, rescue the maiden and free our people of this scourge,” John explained for the third time. Axel sighed, it sounded like something Rayner would do. Stupid hero. Not like he had much of choice. If he refused, Axel would still be asleep, or dead. He thanked the man and went to get his things. Maybe he could catch up...
Theirs had been a resounding victory. All the bandits they knew of were dead. They took longer than expected, as they had to deal with another two dozen women and girls rescued from the bandits. Then there was the packing of the loot. The bandits had been busy, they had plenty of food and even more weapons. Nothing too amazing as Alta was not a rich country. The bandits had been attacking both the Inimi and coalition forces, hitting their supply lines. Rayner told him the bandit boss was an...
"Good Morning" I replied with a hard swallow. "Sorry, wanted a different kind of breakfast this morning." She said with a giggle. She was buttering me up, that I knew. I had planned on taking her out shopping. Her first real outing since deciding to distance herself from Eric and we both agreed a new wardrobe was in order. It would be on my dime, naturally. I guess she wanted me to remember this when I saw the price tags. The head was slow, methodical, paced. Light brushes from...
She was a severe woman at times, with admittedly prudish and old-fashioned notions. Other than that, she was a very good listener with cute kids. They reminded Rayner of the kids he cared for back home. The kids he ultimately failed to help. From behind him came a tap on his shoulder and he turned to see Tessa. “You move silently. How long were you behind me?” “With the way things are going in town, I have learned to move quietly and with a sense of haste.” She moved past him to open the...
Vix worried little though. The goblins had waited a month to storm the final stronghold of the goblin lords. Finished patrolling the outside of the castle, Vix walked past the gates, stepping over the body of a goblin that had met a dagger to the throat. Though the goblin lords called the place a castle, it was truly just an abandoned manor. It had a moat but no outer gates and a guard tower in disrepair that likely stored foodstuffs. The state of the tower didn’t stop a goblin loyal to the...
The hospitality god’s blessing on the brothel provided numerous small benefits. It allowed warm water to run throughout the building, providing warmth without the need for a pumping system. It also sourced light that appeared to originate from nothing and with only a simple thought to activate it. Frankly, the blessing even this petty god, so weak as to not have a name, provided was a marvel even to Axel, who came from a modern world with advanced technology. Grace had informed him that...
But she’d been right in her recommendation for many reasons. Traveling with the caravan allowed them to see the might of the Coalition gods. A massive gaseous wall of blue bordered the entirety of the caravan, a blessing from a traveler god of the Coalition. The barrier protected the caravan as it traveled. Kobolds stalked the caravan and launched attacks against it, but the blessing of Turin halted them and when the kobolds pushed further into the shimmering wall of blue, their bodies...
Axel himself had little to no marketable skills to offer. Oh, he was vastly better educated than this world’s common citizens, but it wasn’t applicable or of little use. That left the duo stuck with their cover job as bodyguards for the camp whores. There lack of use was sobering. Even worse, the clients didn’t put up much trouble as none wanted to be banned from the comfort the whores provided. Also, if anyone was banned by the prostitutes, that individual would be kicked out of the...
The sheer volume of rain the sky dumped on him and his current companions obscured his vision and forced him to trek up a hill to see where he was going. Rayner found a job thanks to the recommendation of the whitesmith he assisted at the caravan. The job was to protect a monster cataloger named Kata. He researched the twisted monsters that still inhabited the area which the miasma had originally affected. Three others were hired on for the job. A team of two young men that looked like...
Turns out the Forest God was not as good as Yazid at setting fail-safes. Dodging trees and branches was not that hard, and the zombies no longer chased them. Axel thought the zombies would have collapsed after the forest god died. They had escaped the forest and now traveled across rolling hills and farmland, looking for civilization. After much discussion they agreed to avoid cities, not wanting to be near the center of events. They still did not know what to do in this world. Yazid wanted...
Axel’s worrying over the plan to attack the bandits proved misplaced. As Barny explained to him, battles were often small-scale brawls and went from one extreme to the other. With lots of death on one side, or an indecisive outcome with few fatalities. Theirs had been a resounding victory. All the bandits they knew of were dead. They took longer than expected, as they had to deal with another two dozen women and girls rescued from the bandits. Then there was the packing of the loot. The...
The lack of refugees to take care of and the addition of a map eased their travel. Rayner had gotten the map from the refugees. He had to buy it, and Axel thought they should have given it to them for free as a thank you for saving them. Rayner insisted the refugees were not in a position to give anything away for free. Besides, he had checked its authenticity, and it was a good map. “So, what’s the plan?” Rayner said. “I know you have one. You must, because we’re heading off into the...
Axel woke suddenly, jolting up in the bed. The last thing he remembered was a great deal of pain after he sealed the Miasma away. Rayner must have carried him here. A woman sitting by his bed left calling for a man named John. When John came, he explained what happened while Axel was sleeping. “He did what?” “He left to fight the dragons, rescue the maiden and free our people of this scourge,” John explained for the third time. Axel sighed, it sounded like something Rayner would do....
Swamp slimes. He’d never heard of them but they existed. The small blobs were composed of puddles of green goo, twigs, and moss. He’d battled them throughout the swamp, his hammer having little effect. Brute force failed to defeat them. Instead, he looked for other monsters and the dumb swamp slimes would get distracted and engage them instead. Using this method, he made his way through the forest with swamp slimes acting as his unknowing allies. He needed more varied skills. For one, when...
They returned to Ridgehill with little fanfare. The battle had already ended by the time they arrived. It was a resounding victory for the people of Alta and residents of Ridgehill. The Coalition army showed up marching out of the Corpsewood having made a deal with the Elves that he and Rayner knew to be fairies. Also, one of the country’s leaders used the invasion to rally enough political support from the regional governors to become head of state. The first thing on his to-do list was...
Rayner stood in front of Tessa’s shack, his hand over his brow to shield his eyes from the sun’s heat. He’d only just arrived. The usual riot of pickpockets and women soliciting him slowed him down. Visiting Tessa had become a regular event for him and he truly enjoyed the woman’s company to Axel’s amazement. She was a severe woman at times, with admittedly prudish and old-fashioned notions. Other than that, she was a very good listener with cute kids. They reminded Rayner of the kids he...
