Dark Lord Seduction System: Taming Wives, Daughters, Aunts, and CEOs novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: A Nerd’s Status

Consciousness crept back into my brain like a hangover in reverse—starting terrible and somehow getting weirder. The first thing I noticed was that my body felt... off. Not broken or painful, just different. Like someone had taken my usual spaghetti-noodle physique and run it through some kind of optimization program. My muscles felt denser, more solid, like they actually had a purpose beyond just keeping my skeleton from collapsing into a pile of disappointment.

And my dick definitely felt heavier.

I mean, I was used to being well-endowed—literally the only genetic lottery I’d ever won—but this felt like someone had upgraded the hardware. Which probably should’ve concerned me more than it did, but honestly? After yesterday’s shitshow, I’d take any improvement I could get.

But why did this feel like my bed? The familiar lumpy mattress, the sheets that smelled like fabric softener and teenage desperation, the way my pillow had that perfect depression from years of holding my head while I contemplated my failures.

Did they actually bring me home from the infirmary? That seemed like a liability nightmare waiting to happen.

I cracked open my eyes, and yep—definitely my room.

The same peeling paint on the ceiling, the same stack of porn magazines I kept meaning to throw away after they’d served their purpose, I needed a new bunch for July until September. My same desk covered in cables and half-finished coding projects. My poor gaming setup glowed softly in the corner like a technological altar to my social isolation.

Wait. The system.

Holy shit, the system.

I bolted upright, and instead of the usual symphony of joint pops and muscle protests, I moved smoothly. Like my body actually worked the way it was supposed to.

"That was... new."

"Status," I whispered, feeling like a complete dork but also kind of hoping something magical happened.

And something did.

My physical stats had jumped from "sad noodle boy" to "actually might not embarrass myself at the beach." My charm had gone from "social disaster" to "maybe won’t immediately repel women." And apparently, I had special abilities now, which sounded way cooler than anything that had ever happened to me.

There was also this weird tint—not colored contacts weird, just this subtle something that made them more noticeable, more magnetic. Like they actually drew attention instead of just being "generic black eyes, probably belongs to someone forgettable."
