New Title: Sexiest BL Model
Reward: System Upgrade
Dear System, are you fucking with me? – Insincerely, a fed up ‘Sexiest Bl Model.’
Let’s not even go into why the system needed upgrading or why that’s even a reward.
“Surprised?” Faer stiffened at the voice, swiveling his head in every direction to make sure no one could overhear their conversation.
“That you one-upped me again? Nah.” Like hell he’d give her the satisfaction.
“That’s too bad, I was sure you’d be shocked. Congrats brother.” Fleur wrapped her arms around Faer, squeezing him tight. “I missed you.”
“I missed you too, now get off me before anyone sees us.” He tried to shake her off, but she was clinging to him like a koala.
“Too suave for hugs now? Tch, I remember when you clung to me while crying that day when Sandy Davidson started a rumor that you shat yo-” He covered her mouth with his hand.
“Ah, shhhhh! What if someone heard you?! And I don’t remember crying about it.” Faer grumbled the last part under his breath.
Pushing his hand away, Fleur’s laughter was like wind chimes.
“But the clinging to me part you remembered right? Hehe, It’s ok, u can still cling to me even when you’re this age, little sis got your back.” She slapped her chest, as if to emphasize her point.
“Oh, here.” Fleur handed Faer his phone. He had completely forgotten about it.
System upgrade 93%
“Thanks. Shouldn’t you be getting back before someone comes out looking for you?”
‘He needed to be alone when it finished upgrading. He had an ominous feeling.’
Pushing the back of his sister gently through the door, he gave her a smile then dashed away where no one could find him easily.
System upgrades complete.
Cold sweat drenched Faer’s back as a mechanical voice was heard inside his head.
‘No more screens now? I’m not sure if the voice directly in my head is any better than the screen. Is this really a reward?’ Faer was dubious.
It’s your good fortune that you received a system such as me. I’m Al 2.1.

‘What happened to 2.0? I’d rather that version.’
Is that sarcasm you plebs are so fond of? It’s indeed interesting, wasted on me though.
‘Are you really an A.I?’
Not sure about the A.I but I’m Al, it is close enough.
‘You know what … for my mental health, I’ll just go with the flow. I don’t even know why I’m surprised about something like this.’
It’s a good thing you accepted it, now I won’t have to worry about my paycheck anymore.
‘Did you say something?’
…
Anyways. The upgrade is much better than you realize, you have access to the points system which then gives you access to the Shop. Isn’t that exciting?!
‘Your voice is mechanical, you trying to sound excited is creepy as fuck. Stop it.’
Duly noted. I took it upon myself to organize your talents, which will make it easier for you to focus on which direction you’re headed.
‘Let’s see it.’
A familiar blue screen popped into his view.
Talents
Acting
Art
Cooking
Dancing
Foreign Languages
Martial Arts
Modeling
Programming
Singing
Writing
‘Wow, having it cataloged is easier. Huh, so you are good for something.’
Was that an insult? The system now has a Penalty section, would you like to know more about it?
‘Haaah … It was just your imagination. Let’s leave the Penalty section for later.’
Suit yourself. I’d advise you to lean towards singing and dancing next. Maybe one of those boy bands?
‘How do you even know about boy bands?’
Your memories. Girls seem to go crazy over them, especially the Kpop ones. Mhm, I think you would do well in that one.
‘Are you really suggesting Kpop to me? You do know I’m American right?’
You’re like half Asian, It is right up your alley.
Leaning his head against the wall, Faer exhaled.
‘I don’t know what it says about me that I’m actually considering this.’
Think about the number of fans you’ll have. You’ll be larger than life.
The system’s voice was like a sirens call, tempting him to a sweet death.
‘I always was a size queen.’
The bright morning sunlight had Faer cracking open an eye, as he groggily took in his surroundings.

Ah, that’s right; he had made his way back home after leaving the after party last night.
The sound of a door being opened and closed resounded in the quiet apartment. Only two people had keys, Fleur and Jenna.
It was most likely Jenna since she called him last night and told him she’d come over today.
Wrapping the sheet around his waist to maintain some sense of modesty, he trudged into the living room to find Jenna placing two cups of coffee and a paper bag of what smelled like donuts, on his table.
Faer took a moment to drink her in. Her vibrant red hair hung lazily down her back and surprisingly she was wearing workout gear. A neon green bra thingy that barely concealed those amazing boobs, and black leggings with transparent strips at the sides. Were women workout clothes always this sexy?
Sifting through his memories, he could positively say yes, they were indeed sexy but on Jenna, it was way more than that. No matter what she wore, she looked like sin wrapped in human skin. Her every move oozed seduction; it was a heady feeling that had Faer shaking his head in wonder.
Turning around at the sound of a throat clearing, Jenna’s eyes landed on Faer and good God, she felt like she could hardly breathe.
‘Did he get more good looking since I saw him last? And why every time I visit his apartment, he’s always half naked like this? I’m not complaining but for fuck sakes, can a girl get a warning or something?’
“Morning sunshine.” She walked over to him and without thinking, wrapped her hands around his torso to give him a hug.
I might be intangible but I’m pretty sure I’m feeling a little hot. How about you?
‘Shut up! This is really hard.’
HA! Hard. In more ways than one. Hahahaha
Unaware of Faer’s state of mind, Jenna slowly inhaled his clean manly scent. The warmth of his firm body seeping into her bones and the feel of something hard and heavy brushing against her bare stomach had her eyes turning red and it took all her self-control to push down the urges fighting to claw their way to the surface. She couldn’t lose control here, not like this and not with him.
Quickly pulling away from him, Jenna smiled as if nothing happened then walked back to get a cup of coffee.
“Might want to get dressed, yeah?” Jenna’s voice broke Faer out of his stupor.
“Ah, right. Give me a few.” Faer ran like a bat out of hell.
‘Shit shit shit! Just what the hell was that? Al, that wasn’t my imagination, right? Her eyes turned red and her scent changed right?!’
That did happen, yeah. She doesn’t seem to be human. Why don’t you appraise her?
‘No. I did it with Aro, and I regretted it right after. That’s a breach of privacy, but you’re definitely right. She isn’t human, not that it matters.’
Now dressed in running shorts and a tank top, he made his way back to Jenna.
“Congrats on your win by the way. I knew you had it in the bag.” She said as she sipped her coffee.
“Mm thank you. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it’d be.” Faer mused as he sat down beside her.
“That’s because you’re a natural. What do you plan on doing now? Apart from the shoot with the magazine and the New York Fashion Show, you don’t have anything else booked.”
“I want to put modeling on hold for a while, I’m thinking about going into the music business now.”
“You do know I work for a modeling agency right? I can’t help you in other fields.” Jenna’s lips pursed, she wasn’t expecting this.
“Then quit and become my manager, I think you’re suited to the role.” Faer’s eyes were imploring. He wasn’t flattering her, he truly wanted her to become his manager.
“Don’t look at me with those puppy eyes. Seriously, stop! Ok fine! I’ll think about it. Give me until tomorrow.” She sighed in resignation, already knowing she’d agree to his request. Her intuition was never wrong, and she knew this guy was going places.
“I await your good news. Want to go for a run?” Faer stood up and jogged on the spot, the corner of his lips tilted up.
“Let’s do it.”
