Lust System in the Murim World-Chapter 1 Life Without Girl For Five Years Part 1

"Sir, that would be three hundred and fifty." A pretty lady standing behind the counter said as he put the package inside a plastic bag.

A young man standing in front of her took out his phone and took out his purse. After giving her money, he took the bag and walked out. At this moment, he couldn't help but realize something under his pant was twitching.

'Damn it! Not right now. I need to control it.'

The young man pinched his finger as he walked away. While he walking, he was pretty conscious of his body. He was wearing loose pants so he was worried about displaying them.

He kept pinching his finger with his nail until he reached his apartment. As soon as he reached there, he stopped doing so and looked at his finger. There was a sharp wound on his finger.

The blood was coming out of it.

'Shit! Not again.'

He bit his lips and sat on the chair in front of his computer. He had stopped going outside and meeting friends for years. He was completely focused on working.

He was a computer engineer and was working on a project known as 'Murim Realm'. It was a game based on the martial world. But, it wasn't a normal game.

It was an 'Adult Game'. The premise of the game was simple.

Once you log in, you will be given a system. Since this wasn't a multiplayer game, the character would be the center of everything. As he levels up, the story will slowly unfolds.

And, the only way for him to level up was to have sex with ladies. By collecting Harem Points, the character will level up.

They had been working on this game for two years now. So, he had shut himself inside his apartment for this work. And, the more he did that, the more vulnerable he got in front of ladies.

Since this was an adult game, some stuff of the game was quite extreme. And, he had to work with that on daily basis, slowly corrupting his mind. Nowadays, he couldn't even walk in front of ladies, or else, he would have a boner.

Of course, this didn't start with this project. It started six years ago when his mind changed completely.

'Sigh! I need to make dinner and start working once again. The game is almost ready. I need to finish the last few things related to the 'Lust System'. And, I also need to make sure that the skills are connected to the monetary system.'

The way the company planned to earn money from this game was quite unique. Because the characters of the game are made with almost perfect A.I., the gamer won't be able to have sex whenever he wants.

The gamer would need to buy certain skills. And, these skills can only be bought on a subscription base. These skills are required to attract random women inside the game.

And, so players either need to complete certain quests to earn these skills or they need to buy skills using real money. It was his task to make sure that the prices of the skills are correct.

He also needed to check whether it was working or not. So, he quickly left his room and entered the kitchen. After preparing dinner, he took it in front of his computer and started working while eating.

It had become his habit now.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Suddenly, the sound of thunderclouds rang. He stood up and pulled his curtain a little to look outside.

'Seriously? I have important work today. I can't turn off my computer. I guess I could work on my laptop. But, it is quite slow. I guess I will be pulling all-nighters once again.'

He walked in front of the table and turned on his laptop. He connected all drives to his laptop and started working.

He continued to type and scroll, type and scroll, type, and scroll.

"What time is it?" After a long time, he looked at the clock.

[11:43]

"I still have a lot to do." His speed was getting slower and his eyes were slowly closing. f𝓇𝘦𝒆𝘄𝑒𝗯𝑛𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝘰𝓶

Bang!

Suddenly, the loud sound of the thunderclouds rang and woke him up. He sighed. He went back to his kitchen, picked up an energy drink, and started working once again.

But, after half an hour, his body started to give up. He was already too tired since he hadn't gotten proper sleep for two weeks now. He pushed his laptop a far and closed his eyes.

'Just a little'

He put his hands on the table and put his head over his hands.

'Nice!'

When he was finally able to sleep, he couldn't help but sleep with a smile. For someone who didn't get much sleep due to his work, it was a blessing to sleep.

So, it had become his habit to smile while sleeping.

Bang!

At this moment, another lightning bolt struck from the clouds. This time, the lights in his room were turned off but his laptop was still on. 𝙛𝚛𝙚ewe𝗯𝓃𝗼ѵ𝚎Ɩ.𝒄ｏ𝐦

Bang!

......…..

Somewhere in the city,

A massive bolt of lightning struck a building. The strike started a fire inside a server room. The fire started to consume the entire building. After half an hour, a car reached in front of the building.

The man came out of the car wearing a black coat. He looked at the building covered in flames and his eyes turned red.

He slapped the assistant standing next to him with anger flashing out of his eyes.

"What happened? Why did my building got struck by a lightning bolt?"

The assistant endured the pain and spoke.

"Sir, we received the information that our Lightning Rod was a duplicate. It couldn't prevent the lightning from striking our building."

Bang!

At the same time, another bolt of lightning struck. And, it struck a building far away.

The man wearing a black coat also saw that. His anger slowly calmed down.

"This damn weather. Two years! Millions of dollars! I spent too much in this game but in the end, everything was wasted. My wife was right. Dreams do come true."

He clenched his fist so hard that his hand started bleeding.

After a long minute, he spoke.

"Cancel this project. Try to recover the cost of the building from insurance. Give three months' salary to all of the employees and fire them. I am never going to invest in a game ever again."

"Yes, sir!"

Three Days Later,

"Sir, I have done everything as you said. But, it seems like a certain employee had an accident." The assistant stood in front of his boss and spoke.

His boss was sitting on a chair. He raised his eyebrows and asked.

"What happened?"

"Sir, Employee Tim was caught up in that night's lightning bolt. His body was found dead in his apartment in front of his computer." The assistant answered.

"Tim? If I remember correctly, he was the project manager of that project, right? Sigh! It seems like my wife was correct. That entire project was cursed. Not only it made me lose millions of dollars but even lost such a talented young man." The boss sighed as he looked at the ceiling.

"Sir, you remember him?" The assistant was surprised.

"Of course! He was the talent that I wanted to keep in my company for a long time. Unfortunately, both were lost on the same night. Go to his family and deliver his money. And, give him a salary of six months. That would help his family." The boss said with a sad expression.

"Sir, he doesn't have a family." The assistant replied.

Hearing his word, the boss was surprised.

"Was he an orphan?"

"I am not sure, sir. He didn't write anything about his family in his resume. And, I couldn't find anything about his family as well. He had no friends, no lover, and doesn't even talk to his landlords. Do you want me to dig more?" The assistant asked.

"Try! If possible, find out more about his family and send them money. If you can't find anything, then just leave it." The boss was surprised for a moment. He nodded his head and replied.

"Yes, sir."

........

"Yawn.... I slept so well. Wait, wait, how long did I sleep?" A young man suddenly stood up from his bed in surprise. His eyes fell on his surroundings. He was confused for a moment.

"What the? Where is my computer? Why am I on a bed? And, this is not my bed." The young man was perplexed. He found that he was sleeping on some straw hays.

He looked around and found that the room was quite small and looked very ancient as well. The tiles on the ceilings look like the building from the village. The walls made with mud and bricks seem like he was truly in the village.

For some reason, it felt like he knew this place. It felt like he had seen this place so many times. But, it didn't make sense at all. He jumped out of the bed and rushed outside.

When he reached outside, he found a bunch of different people wearing simple clothes walking around. The people on the road looked at him with surprise.

He immediately went back and closed the door. He put his hand on his chest and his eyes widened.

"What the fuck happened? Where the hell am I?"
