I Reject Quests

Chapter 128: FP

Everyone's attention turned to Svety. 

They all had a single thought. 'If what Rewen is saying is true, then'

Denny had a grim face. R*pe isn't a thing to be thrown just like this. It isn't to be joked or laughed about. Even though she had done some embarrassing things to him, she never crossed the boundary. A few days ago, when she found out that her cousin had a severe case of interference all this while, she was devastated with guilt. At first, she was in denial. Then slowly, she learned of her faults and eventually, improved her relationship with him.

She had always thought that Svety was one of the few people who supported Rewen during that time. 'But is it really r*pe? How did it happen?' She didn't want to change her opinion of Svety that quick.

Vinia had similar questions. 'Was he r*ped? How?'

'This guy he is tripping.' Sam had a wry smile. Out of everyone present, he knew Rewen's condition the best. He figured that even if he was r*ped, it was probably the previous owner of his identity of that world. At the same time, he also figured that Svety wasn't completely guilt-free. 'She should have thought twice before raging.'

Svety's face was colorless. She felt betrayed and used. Getting up with her legs shivering, she walked away from the room.

No one chased after her.

Denny didn't even look at her.

Rewen figured her emotions but didn't do anything. 'She must be pretty damn sad. Even after I cut off my relations with her, I continued to take 'benefits' from it. She saw this as a sign of - having a chance of getting back together but now, I have completely cut her off. With all this, I can't possibly complete the daily missions from [Male God System] anymore.' 

He wasn't sad because he did this. He was sad because he can't continue to reap benefits from [Male God System] anymore. As for her, he felt that she deserved it. He didn't hate her but that didn't prevent him from looking at things objectively. Surely, he had been bullied and she certainly had no part in it. 'But she took advantage of my predecessor. I'm no saint but it's hard for me to look past the things she did.'

He shook his head, then turned to Vinia. "Are you fine? I'm sorry on her behalf."

Vinia silently nodded.

"Rewen, you were r*ped?" Denny still couldn't believe what she heard.

Vinia and Sam curiously looked at Rewen.

"Uh yeah, I didn't consent that day so it can considered r*pe. I'm not falsely accusing. This is the truth."

Denny knew his condition so she understood what he meant. 'He had interference. Although it might have been unintentional from Svety's part, she did r*pe. What should I do? Should I call my parents?'

"Do you want to take this seriously?" Denny asked, not being able to decide.

"No. I would have already gone to the cops if I wanted to." Rewen shrugged. "Anyways, you should go. I'm preparing for the Knights exam."

"You want to become a [Knight]. Aren't you" Denny didn't speak further. 'He might be trying to live out here as a second life.' Just like that, she got up and left.

Rewen leaned back on the sofa while glancing at Sam with half-closed eyes.

"I had no part in it." Sam denied with a serious expression.

"I would be a fool to believe you." Rewen couldn't help but give a couple of punches and kicks to him.

As usual, Sam scurried off.

Rewen then turned to Vinia, the only person left in this room other than him. "Do you have time?"

***

Three hours later.

"I feel like my head suddenly expanded." Rewen commented after cramming books continuously for three hours.

"Your head should also feel satisfied. I'm sure she made proper use of her throat." Sam grinned widely.

"You are on that joke?"

"What about my throat?" Vinia suddenly appeared from behind.

"He said that you are quite good with your head." Sam would be a fool to not use the chance.

"Fuck off." Rewen felt like he had got the worst 'best-friend character' available.

"My head? What's with my head?" Vinia asked, appearing confused.

"It's when you" Devoid of any shame, Sam whispered into her ears.

"What's with this nonsense!?" Vinia angrily looked at Rewen.

'I expected her to be a little smarter.' Rewen thought, before shaking his head. "He is fooling around. Look at him, he's running away." 

"That might be true but why was the topic of 'throat' even brought up? It's so random." Vinia said in a suspicious tone.

"Oh, yesterday I was commending you for being able to teach despite straining your throat to Sam. Sam, being the guy that he is, took it to the worst possible way."

"I see. By the way, where is Aunty? I haven't seen her since morning."

"She is probably sitting in her garden."

"Okay." 

Looking at her back, Rewen said in his mind. 'What's my favorability for her?'

[Favorability: 4]

'That can't be true. It is more than that.'

[You asked for 'your' favorability for her.]

'Ah, so my progress to fall in love is four out of hundred. Show me her favorability for me.'

[Favorability: 16]

'Woah, I never recall farming so many favorability points.]

[Notifications only come when the Host gains favorability points by saying a dialogue. FP can be gained in several other ways.]

'Doesn't FP decrease?'

[In normal cases, it does but since the Host has the 'Male God System', FP doesn't fall unless FP is related to a quest.]

'No wonder that devil woman's FP decreased so much.' Rewen had a deep frown. 'I can't play around with the system.' He imagined a scenario where he maxed out FP of every single girl he met. What would he do at that time? Should he just be a gentleman and choose the one he likes the most or be a scumbag who welcomes all of them with open arms?

'Even if I become a 'gentleman', since the other girls had their FP maxed out, it means that they can't 'move on'. No, no, no. It's a bad situation. [Male God System] is more of a curse. I definitely can't get involved with women.' 

He wasn't a lustful person. Even if he was, having a harem is the last thing he would think of.

"Cool." After practicing the skill, he went back to his home.

He saw his mother chatting with Master Kaf but didn't linger on and moved to his room.

After having his dinner in his room, he slept.

In the early morning, he got up and logged out. 'This is becoming a routine.'

***

Taking off his helmet, he looked at the time. "7:25."

Stretching his arms, he went to the living room to see if his cousin was there or not.

Denny was there, sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the walls. The television which should be turned on was off.

"Did she leave?" Rewen asked, approaching her.
