Primordial Sin System Chapter 5 5 - The Bet

He felt shocked upon discovering that countless individuals craved him after he unveiled his true identity.

Various clans had previously attempted marriage alliances through his father on his behalf, yet he consistently turned them down, yearning for his independence.

His father honored his choice and thus backed him fully.

He refused to be bound and preferred to savor his youth as a young man first.

....

Dave possessed 190 Sin points now, but he held off on purchasing gear or arms right away since the system's offerings were basic, and leveling up would unlock superior ones.

Post-introduction, several girls sought to chat with him, yet opportunity evaded them due to the fierce tigress beside him.

Her expression darkened ominously, as though murder brewed in her gaze.

From birth, reverence surrounded her, with nobody daring to mistreat her.

Yet a certain fellow kept provoking her, eager to discipline him though his power surpassed hers.

[Ding! You've gained Sin Points]

Wrath + 50

Stunned, he glanced at the tigress nearby and grinned. "You wish to punish me, but I outmatch you in strength, and your status won't intimidate me, so surrender—perhaps fate binds us together."

Rose gaped at his audacity, snapping back furiously, "Who'd want to pair with you? Everyone knows you're a notorious womanizer, hmph!"

Dave shrugged it off, never disputing the claim. "True, I'm a womanizer, so join me as my girl? No girlfriends on my roster currently—what say you?"

He prodded her deliberately, as she provided an endless stream of Sin points.

[Ding! You've gained Sin Points]

Wrath + 100 (Rose)

SP: 340

Now he could view names of those granting him hefty Sin point surges.

Her fury was evident, face flushed crimson with humiliation and rage.

"You filthy pervert, we're not done yet," Rose spat, striving to compose herself. As the overbearing princess, suppressing her wrath proved torturous—she ached to thrash him.

"Wow, teasing her yields riches—she'll make the perfect Sin Points machine."

*Rose POV*

"What in blazes is this sensation?" Confusion gripped her over the turmoil stirring within.

Though newly acquainted and constantly taunted by him, an irresistible pull drew her toward him.

Spoiled and cherished since childhood, she now resembled a meek kitten rather than her usual tigress self.

"What's happening to me?" her mind raced, heart fluttering strangely.

"I'd concede he's strikingly handsome and scorching, but he's infuriating—I'd love to boot him and vent this fury."

Her anger boiled over, urging her to seek any vent.

A bespectacled boy caught her eye, staring timidly.

"What're you gawking at? Craving a beating?"

"N-no, just wondering why his face hovers so close to yours." He gestured toward Dave.

Rose whipped her head sideways, spotting Dave's intense gaze on her. Barely 1cm separated their faces, lips nearly brushing.

A fierce blush erupted on Rose as she jerked away. "Why stare like that?"

Dave chuckled at her flushed cheeks. "Just dawned on me—you're adorable blushing. Still set against being my girlfriend?"

Shyness overwhelmed Rose; she yearned for a burrow to vanish into.

"Hmph, reach King Level this month and maybe I'll consider it." Confidence assured her he couldn't ascend so swiftly.

Unsure why those words escaped, she craved witnessing his humiliation.

Dave grinned, grasping her hands. "Seriously? Promise me? What if it's a trick?"

Rose yearned to yank free, yet her body froze, permitting his grip.

"Fine, let's seal it with a contract." She smirked, summoning one. Soul-bound, violators faced dire penalties like death or grave harm.

Dave marveled at her readiness to bind fates. He scanned then inscribed it.

Though terms dictated slavery to her for a year sans King Level in a month, certainty filled him of success.

Rose inscribed too, activating their pact.

Inwardly sneering, Rose envisioned his year-long servitude, schemes brewing.

Dave read her thoughts. "Prepare to be my girlfriend, dear Rose."

He winked, then shut his eyes once more.

Luna, lecturing upfront, observed them; her prowess let her eavesdrop fully.

Even she doubted his month-long King ascent.

She continued lessons, ignoring Rose and Dave.
