The Revival System Made Me A God - Harem

009

He caught up to her, his mind racing. This was the moment. He had never spoken to anyone outside of his family or those he served as a slave. He didn't know how to be a "charmer." He only knew how to say "yes, sir" and "no, ma'am."

"Yes?" the girl asked, stopping and turning toward him. She reached up and pulled back the hood of her cloak.

Eren's breath left him. She was a vision of strange, unexpected beauty. Waves of pink hair fell over her shoulders, framing a face with sharp blue eyes that seemed to hold many secrets. Even through the heavy cloth of her cloak, her shape was clear. She was a rare jewel in the middle of a wasteland.

Suddenly, the blue screen flared to life, but it was different this time.

[Congratulations! You have unlocked: Scan Lens. You can now spot rare gold and see through anything you desire.]

Eren's jaw dropped. The world changed. The girl's cloak seemed to become see-through, showing the lines of her body and the curves beneath. He couldn't stop staring; it was as if he were looking at a piece of art he wasn't allowed to touch those huge water melons, pink nipples, pink panties, if he looked more he could see what's beneath those panties should he just focus on that just then he blinked out of his thoughts.

The girl flinched, her eyes narrowing as she pulled her cloak tighter, crossing her arms over her chest. "Excuse me? First, you bump into me, then you stop me, and now you're just... staring at my chest? Are you one of those perverts?"

"No! I.....I'm sorry," Eren stuttered, his face burning red. He had to think fast. "I couldn't help it. I've just never seen such a rare beauty on this side of Audrex."

The line was cheesy, a desperate attempt at using the "Charm" he had unlocked, but she didn't smile. He checked the screen. Her data appeared, but the attraction level was actually dropping into the negatives. He focused his Scan Lens again, looking past the beauty to the reality. That's when he saw it a dark, jagged wound at the side of her waist, hidden by her clothes. She was pale, her skin wet with a cold sweat.

"You're hurt," Eren said, his voice dropping its fake charm for real worry. "My house is close. I'm good with medical help. Let me help you."

The girl stepped back, her eyes looking around the empty alley. "I'm fine. Nobody is to be trusted on this side of the world."

"I won't cause any harm, I promise," Eren begged, reaching out a hand but staying a respectful distance away. "If you don't get that treated, you might not make it to wherever you're going. Please. Let me."

Something in his eyes maybe a trace of the man who had just looked death in the face or perhaps his charm made her give in. She dropped her guard, a small, tired sigh escaping her lips. "I will trust you but if you try anything stupid, I will kill you " She followed him to the empty hut.

Eren worked with focused energy. He cleaned the wound, his hands steady even though the timer was ticking in the corner of his eye. He brought her a small bowl of snacks the tiny portion he had been saving for his own dinner and a bottle of a strong medicine Lala had stolen from the Elite stores.

"Drink this," he said. "It will help with the healing."

"What if you added something to it?" she asked, her blue eyes searching his.

"I didn't,if I wanted to do something bad, I would have done it already" he said simply.

She took the bottle and drank. As the liquid worked, the blue screen popped up again, updating her info.

[Name: Hannah]

[Rank: Unknown]

[Age: 23]

[Attraction: 30%]

Eren felt a wave of hope. It was working. The negative numbers were gone, replaced by a growing warmth. He had fifty-five minutes left.

"I'm Eren McPherson," he said, keeping a careful distance to make sure she felt safe. "A Rank E Omega. What about you?"

"Hannah," she replied. She looked at him, her gaze suddenly sharp. "And you don't need to tell me your name. Who doesn't know Eren McPherson? The errand Omega." She paused, her head tilting. "I thought the word was that you had killed yourself?"

Eren's eyes widened. She knew him? But she had acted like a stranger before. This girl was wrapped in layers of mystery. "As you can see, I'm alive," he said. "The rumors of my death were... exaggerated."

As they talked, he watched the meter. 30%... 40%... 50%. Every word was a bridge. But just as he felt he was making progress, Hannah stood up, her move smooth even with her injury.

"I won't lie," she said, her voice softer now. "I used to think you were just some ugly kid, always running around. But it turns out you're... big. Masculine. Quite handsome, actually."

[Attraction: 90%]

She stepped toward him, reaching out to rest a hand on his shoulder. "Thank you for looking after me, Eren. You proved to me today that not all men are the same." She leaned in, her scent surrounding him as she pulled him into a sudden, quick hug.

Eren froze. He had never been this close to a girl who wasn't family. His heart pounded against his ribs, his mind going completely blank as the warmth of her body pressed against his. Before he could even wrap his arms around her to hug her back, she pulled away and stepped back into the shadows of the doorway.

"I'd like us to meet again," she whispered, handing him a small piece of paper with an address. "Reach out to me."

In a move so fast it seemed impossible, she disappeared into the night. Eren stood there, paralyzed, the feeling of her touch still tingling on his skin.

Beep.

His phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out, his eyes going to the blue screen that had updated with a winning flash.
