.....
Hugo stood in front of the full length mirror, crossing his arms over his chest and narrowing his eyes like a man studying the fine craftsmanship of a million dollar sports car.
He slowly turned his head to the left... then to the right.
Then he took a step back, ran a hand through his perfectly styled hair, and let out a deep, satisfied breath.
"Damn... I'm actually too fine."
His reflection stared back at him, glistening in all its glory.
His jawline? Sharp enough to cut diamonds.
His hair? A masterpiece of modern styling.
His fit? Immaculate.
If handsomeness were a crime, he would be serving five consecutive life sentences!
He pulled up his system interface and looked at his stats once again.
There it was, clear as day—his Looks Stat: 7.
Anytime he saw that number, it always shocked him a little. A 7?
Not even an 8?
Not even a 7.5?
If he was merely still a 7 at this point, then no wonder he hadn't managed to find a 10 rated woman since.
The system's standard was impossibly high!
But then, after some deep thinking (and extensive mirror-checking), he realized something.
Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire
A 7 was already elite.
A 6? That was just a normal guy. A dude who might get called "kinda cute" if he got a good haircut and wore a nice outfit.
A 5? That was the level where girls would say things like, "He's really nice, though."
A 4? That was where people stopped commenting on looks and only mentioned personality.
But 7?
That was a top-tier level. That was "random girls secretly checking you out" handsome. That was "Ariana gave me her number in under two days" handsome.
Even if it wasn't at that level yet, he was getting pretty close!
A smirk crept across his lips.
"Tonight... I will charm the pants off every single woman in this house."
No. Scratch that.
Every single woman in this entire city.
Wait.
Her gold septum ring caught the flashing party lights, giving her an even more exotic, more alluring look.
And her outfit? Lord have mercy.
She wore a tight, off-shoulder black top that left her collarbones and shoulders completely exposed, paired with a skirt that hugged her curvy waist so well it should have been illegal.
Hugo's brain short circuited. Celine was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his whole life!
She was too stunning!
At this rate, he was going to start believing in fate.
But then he noticed something even better.
Collins wasn't with her!
A slow, evil grin stretched across Hugo's face.
"A god-given opportunity."
He straightened his jacket, took a deep breath, and moved in.
As Hugo approached, he quickly took note of the biggest threat standing in his way.
The short, fat friend standing next to Celine. Hugo squinted. Every good looking girl at a party had one.
The obstacle.
And this wasn't just any short, fat friend. No. This was the Final Boss of Social Interactions.
The Guardian of Celine. The Barrier Between Him and His Sweet Victory.
And if there was one thing Sanchez had drilled into his head, it was that properly diffusing an obstacle was one of the most important skills in the game.
A single mistake?
Instant failure.
It was a high-risk, high-reward move.
You either got past the obstacle smoothly and secured a victory...
...Or you crashed and burned like a rookie pilot in a fighter jet.
Hugo's pulse quickened as he got closer. This was it.NHis first real test.
Could he do it?
Could he outmaneuver the obstacle and make his move?
With a confident grin, a deep breath, and a silent prayer, Hugo stepped in.
