Ero Meter

Chapter 77 Why?





"Yes, it will unlock all of its functions after I die, currently I hold some of its power with me." The old man said and then suddenly his smile vanished and he got in deep thought.

It was as if he was thinking about his past.

"What kind of functions?" Jack asked with his brows furrowed.

He wanted to know what he will receive after fully unlocking the Ero Meter, so he could be prepared beforehand and use them correctly and for his benefit.

He didn't wanna make mistakes again like he did last time with Cassie, he still regretted that moment.

Only if he knew beforehand that the blue hearts would be so potent then he would never have used them in the first place.

The old man listened to his question and the previous smile formed on his face, there was even a hint of mischief in his smile.

It was as if he was trying to tease Jack.

"You have to figure that out yourself." The old man said and then laughed out loud.

Jack could even hear ridicule in his laughter, and there was also a warning, he felt that not all the functions that Ero Meter would unlock would be pretty and some might even be dangerous.

'I will have to be careful in the future.' 

He knew that there was some mysterious power behind Ero Meter who doesn't understand what is good and what is bad.

It was like it doesn't have any moral value, Ero Meter only does its job without taking into consideration what was morally correct.

Like how it tried to force and blackmail Elma at first to full her Ero Meter.

....

Cassie who was asleep because of last night, suddenly opened her eyes in the bed.

Last night she wasn't able to sleep by the things she has seen, thoughts of Jack and Nicole were moving through her mind.

She was thinking of what she should do, should she clean the kitchen or not, or what would they think if she clean their clothes and the kitchen?

'Hmph! Those two don't have any shame.' This was her first thought after waking up.

She was annoyed because she wasn't able to sleep properly because of them.

Stretching her muscles she removed the blanket from her body and stood up from her bed with her shorts and bra still on.

Moving, she picked up her tee shirt to wear it.

Only after it did she pick up her phone and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Oh shit! I am late again!"

For the past few days, she has been always late to class because of Jack, and she didn't wanna be late today as in a week, their mid term exams were coming.

And from today onwards teachers would focus on the critical questions, that had the most probability of coming on the exam.

Panicking, she quickly moved toward the door to wake Jack up, however after taking a few steps she stopped.

"What if they are still fucking?" An embarrassed expression appeared on her face.

She didn't wanna intrude in their private time, but she also has to wake him up as it was also important for him to attend class.

Because, without these classes it was sure that Jack would fail the midterms due to his studying schedule.

Sighing she moved and clicked the door open.

"I have to take him to the classes." She decided and moved out of the room.

She was about to move towards the other room where Jack and Nicole went to the previous night to alert him about the classes.

However, before she could take any more steps she heard voices coming from the living room down below.

A frown appeared on her face as she heard the voices.I think you should take a look at

"They didn't wake me up! Hmph!" She turned even more annoyed.

She always helps Jack wake up and go to classes however now that one day she was late he didn't even wake her up.

"I have to teach him a lesson."

She felt betrayed.

.......

"How do you know that you are dying?" Jack asked, he was confused as how do the old man knew the time of his death.

He had many questions on his mind and he wanted to ask them all today, as he can't tell if he would be able to meet this old man again.

The old man only smiled at his face, not giving him any answers.

Jack took in a deep breath and from the old man's smile, he could tell that the guy in front of him doesn't wanna reveal the facts about his death.

"It's ok if you don't wanna answer, but can I ask you another question?" Jack said.

He was trying to be as respectful as he can in front of the mysterious figure.

"Ask, I might answer depending on your question." 

The old man nodded at Jack.

Jack also nodded.

"Why did you give me the Ero Meter?" He was most curious about why the old man choose him to give the Ero Meter.

There were many people on Earth and he was sure that someone else might have also tried to help the old man before him.

So why did he choose him? What was the reason behind it?

This was the most complicated question, if Jack knew the answer to this then he might be able to guess the motive behind the Ero Meter.

He wanted to make sure that someone was not controlling him behind the scenes.

The old man smiled at his words.

"I did not, the sentience itself choose you." the man laughed again.

"Sentience?" Jack furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Yes, the power you have is god sentience, it chooses you, and I don't know the reason behind it, but all I can say is that I was the previous owner."

The old man took a breath after saying all these as if he was already weak by saying stuff.

"But one thing is for sure, even I haven't fully grasped its power by now." He muttered lightly and looked at Jack.

"Are there any more sentience like this?" He asked.

The old man listened to his question and smiled.

He was about to open his mouth when a loud voice came from upstairs.

"Jack!" Cassie moved towards the stairs with a pout on her face.

The old man chuckled listening to her voice.

Jack on the other hand looked at the stairs and the figure of Cassie came in front of him.

He then looked at the sofa again where the old man was sitting and his heart skipped a beat.
