Ghost of Culture

I am about to run off to check up on Mary and her friends, just to make sure they are not in any mortal danger, but then I realize doing something like that right now is kind of stupid.

Really stupid.

This is because I am hiding the fact that I am the host of this Conquest, thus I have stakes here. Running off in order to check up on the other characters will definitely put me in a bad position.

Like a really bad position. Opening myself to blackmail too. Shit!

Better to just stay the hell put and play it cool while looking out for Mary and her friends whenever it is possible. I hope that they are the only people that the System has dragged into this Conquest.

Way too many people will be a huge problem, as I am only one person after all.

In any case, Mary and her friends and whoever else should not be in any mortal danger yet. This is like the first day of school or so. Nothing should happen in the first day, right?

Even if something happens, it should not be life threatening.

I can only hope.

"Wow. That is kind of sucks. If that is the case, why would anyone want to be a host in the first place?"

I question with a frown. That response seems natural enough. Hope no one notices my agitated state from a moment ago. Should have put some points into luck, but I have no points left. Damn.

"Normally yes, but there are actually benefits of being a host. It depends on several factors, however. Like your powers and abilities as well as who your benefactor is."

Ripley answers me. She pauses for a moment, thinking something to herself. I cannot read her thought like I can with other people. Non-players.

"I cannot reveal my power, but my benefactor is Avarice, the Primordial Sin of Greed. Because of that, when I was host, I get to access to a lot of special abilities as long as I have the money to pay for it."

Ripley continues once she finishes debating to herself how much she should reveal to me. Seems like revealing details about the Primordial Sin is okay. Probably because it is common knowledge. It is not common to me, so thank you for that, Ripley.

In contrast, revealing abilities and powers is a really bad idea, at least everyone seems to think so.

It might be because there probably plenty of ways to counter any kind of abilities or powers that these players might have. Knowing exactly what their powers and abilities also makes it easy to avoid traps.

Good thing I am smart enough not to reveal anything. Hah! Seriously, I am out of depth here. Shouldn't have started the Conquest without learning everything there is about it, but then again, the System is a shifty son of a bitch.

"Better bonuses, prizes and rewards too when you are a host."

Hades points out from the side. For a gluttonous guy, he seems to be very reserved. He is the champion of Primordial Sin of Gluttony after all, so he must have some gluttonous traits. Well, whatever. It does not seem that important to know, really.

I mean, as long as it does not have to do anything with girls because that is my territory. Stay the fuck away from my girls. They are all mine. Booboobooboobs.

Seriously, every chick in the classroom is looking mighty fine. Except for Ripley of course. She is utterly plain. Like unnaturally plain.

"Well. That is good to know. Oh. Not to sound dumb or anything, can you guys tell me what this setting is all about? I am kind of new to this, and I think I should have prepared more."

I basically ask for help. I should have read the manga in full before starting the Conquest, but I did not feel like doing that at the time. My bad. I will read the next one, I promise.

Hopefully that there is a next time. There is no reason to not think so, as long as I be smart about this.

Ripley and Hades look at me like I am some kind of idiot. Am I? Probably, but I am a loveable idiot, but seriously, stop looking at me like that.

"What?"

I question.

"This is really your first time, huh? Lucky you, and as for your request, I really cannot tell you anything as that knowledge belongs only to the host."

Ripley tells me while Hades nods in agreement.

"Then how did you know ?"

I begin, but Hades interjects.

"You mean how did all of us know that guy is the protagonist? Because we can see their names as well as their profile. You probably did not spend any of your Conquest Points. No worry, we were like that too with our first Conquest, as the fucking System doesn't tell anyone anything about it."

Hades comments before sighing heavily.

"Just request Conquest Skills and you will understand, Ghostly."

Ripley tells me before returning her attention to the front again.

Um. Conquest Skills?

And the moment that I had requested it in my mind, a window opens up, making me blink in surprise as well as shock. Seriously? Damn it. How the fuck am I supposed to know that!?

Like Hades had mentioned a moment ago, I have some Conquest Points (CP). That does sound like an abbreviation for child porn. Eh? I should not know something like that. Please ignore that. Heh.

Anyway, I have like 100CP on the window, allowing me to purchase Skills that might help me with the Conquest. The skills that I purchase here will only available in the Conquest. It will carry over the other Conquest normally.

The first skill on the list is All-Seeing Eyes (100CP). It allows me to see information on everyone within my field of vision. This includes their names and summary of their characters. It also reveals more than that, all depending on the setting of the Conquest.

Oh wow. No wonder everyone knows about the protagonist despite meeting him for the first time, as everyone probably has this skill already, and if it carries over, does that mean, they have more skills?

Damn it. Wait. I cannot really do anything about that other than beating a lot of Conquest.

Anyway, I spend 100CP to get the All-Seeing Eyes. The moment that I did, names appear on everyone.

Not on the players though, so does that mean Zephyr also did not have the All-Seeing Eye skill? Maybe. Maybe not. Also, I notice there is also a level next to the skill. I can purchase next level, costing 200CP.

I don't have any CP left. Could get more somehow. Alright. That sounds a bit dirty. Hah!

With the new skill purchased, I have a look at the idiot protagonist sitting at the front of the classroom, finding learning his name without needing to ask him personally. His name is Hayate Ryoden, the heir to Ryoden Style.

I blink at that and expand the little information icon next to him. I read the information provided within the window, learning that within Hayate dwells a dragon. It is currently asleep, and it will awaken any time he is critical injured. That is his hidden power.

And despite never training one in his entire life, it is his destiny to defeat the other dragons.

Eh? Hang on a second. This is not what I think it is, is it?

"Yah, it is bro. Clich as fuck, isn't it?"

Hades comments, seemingly knowing what was going through my mind. Pretty easy, considering what is on my face.

I thought that the main objective of the Conquest is to create the best ending for the protagonist, and since this is a school setting in a harem genre, it is logical to think that mean getting all the hot girls to jump his bone.

But apparently not.

This is a shounen manga apparently. With superpower stuff like that from the little information I read off of Hayate. Even his stat window is related to fighting ability and the likes.

I immediately check with every other non-player in the class room, finding them the same. They have all sort of combat skills at their disposal. Ergo, this makes this setting a battle school. Fuck!

And I realize why no body come and grab me after I and Zephyr practically destroy the front hallway.

In any normal school, I would be called to the Principle already. A bunch of people saw me molesting Zephyr after stripping her naked.

Speaking of Zephyr, she just enters the classroom, looking nothing worse to wear. She even has a new uniform. The exactly one that she was wearing before I smash her. I mean hit her over the head with a vase.

I might get to smash her later. Hah! Oh. I just forgot that I should stuck my dick in crazy. Heh.

"Nice of you to show up, Zephyr. That makes seven. The last player probably will not show up, as there is no point. I am unsure why I show up in the first place. Should have stayed at home and snooze a bit more."

Kira comments while yawning. His hand catches something in front of him. Something white.

"Pipe down, and please take a seat, Zephyr. No need to feel down. Everyone has tasted defeat before."

The teacher calls out. An incredible hot and sexy teacher. Unholy shit! Her boobs are huge. They really threaten to spill right out of her blouse.

"I knew it. Stupid ecchi manga."

Ripley remarks while Hades chuckles.

Like most guys in the classroom, he is staring at her cleavage. It is very hypnotic. Hell. I think I am being mind-controlled by those two bouncy melons. Unholy shit! Snap out of it! Snap out of it!

"Hey slut. Did you just throw a chalk at me?"

Kira questions as he looks at the chalk in his hand. His comment saves me. Awesome.

Thank you, Kira. I owe you one, but since you do not know that, I do not need to pay you back. Hah!

Everyone in the classroom looks at him as if he is insane or something, not the players though. Instead, they look at the teacher like she is about to get murdered. Well. She might.

"Tsk. Class 14F. Worse class in history, and now disrespecting me. Let me tell you something brat

The teacher, whose name I have finally brother to check, freezes up when the blackboard right behind her literally explodes from the chalk flying back at her at insane speed.

Way faster than she had thrown it at him a moment ago. With devastating power too.

Now I know why everyone is scared of Kira. Hell, I am too from the name alone. It literally means killer in Japanese. He probably pretty good at that. Killing people.

While the room becomes utterly silence, Zephyr takes her seat next to the protagonist. Is she going to try something? Apparently not since the protagonist is too scared shitless.

Hayate is wondering what the hell school did his grandfather tells him to attend.

Well. Isn't that a clich. Like super clich.

"Oh, please continue what you were saying, Saeko-sensei. By the way, is there any penalty for straight up murdering a teacher on the first day? Just asking because I want to make you dead right now."

Kira questions, causing Saeko to sweat. It seems like she had made a huge mistake, thinking that every student here is weak. This is due to it being classroom of 14F.

In this school, F is the lowest rank. 14 is the lowest number. Technically 15 is the lowest, but that class had got expelled before school even started.

In other word, class 1A contains all the powerhouses.

I have managed to get all of this from what is going on in her mind, and as for his question, there is no consequences of killing a teacher.

It is actually the fault of the teacher for somehow getting themselves killed by a student. They should not be teaching here at this school if they are weak.

Wow. That is awesome! I mean. That is crazy.

"I do not think so, big brother Kira, but please spare her so we can learn something today. I rather not have to waste a day of doing nothing, especially when the game has just started."

The player across the room speaks up. He has his name tag pinned to his chest. Jing Zhao. Oh, I named everyone first-name and last-name, so technically, his name should be Zhao Jing. Just saying.

"Yes. Yes. Kira-kun. No need to get upset. I am just kidding. Kidding."

Saeko changes her demeanor immediately, but that is just outer appearance.

Inside, she is a bit more than terrified. Obviously, that kind of strength means Kira should be in a much higher class. Like in 5A or above.

She obviously cannot deal with someone like him with her level of strength, but she is actually stronger than every other student except for the players and the protagonist, Hayate.

Well. Hayate should be the odd one out as it is his story. It is basically a shounen clich that he starts at the bottom despite being super powerful, hence he is in this lowest ranked class.

We players are here to get Hayate his happily ever after with a bunch of girls. Probably. I mean, some of us. Most of them seems to not care all that much about the objective.

I do know that Ripley wants to complete the objective, but she is probably having second thoughts at the moment due to the ecchiness of this setting. Heh.

Hope that she doesn't figure out it is my fault any time soon. Or ever, but with my luck so far, she will find out eventually. Going to plan my escape right now.

Hades just wants to murder Hayate and anyone involve with the boy. He is acting more like a Wrathful Champion than Zephyr right now. Not really sure what Zephyr is doing. She is being all quiet, but I can feel incredible uneasiness coming from her.

She is holding a grudge against me.

Kira is back to snoozing once more, not even bother to response to the teacher. In his eyes, she is not anyone. Well. She did antagonize him, thinking he will be scared of her. She is now scared of him. That is a 180 reversal.

Jing is looking bored. He is also chatting to last player in the room. A girl. A Chinese girl, so I think they are friends or something. Probably going to be a team between them.

There is one more player, as there are 8 in total, but whoever he or she is, they have not shown up to class yet. And from what Kira is saying, that last player might not even show up. Cool.

Less players to deal with.

And as for me, I think I am going to fuck around. Hah! First, let me possess the protagonist, as he does have an ability I want: Accidental Ecchi Moment. Find authorized novels in Webnovelfaster updates, better experiencePlease click for visiting.

That is the like a godlike ability in this kind of setting filled with big-breasts girls.

Unholy fuck! This will be one hell of a Conquest!

Booboobooboobs!
