Chapter 40

"This is strange. It doesn't look like a simple awakened status..." Luna murmured, trying to understand the situation.

"Kai, please explain... I'm scared!" Aria begged desperately.

"Pornstar System. That's the name of the 'entity' that invaded my mind upon the moment of my death, somehow healing my broken neck, reviving me. I receive missions from it that I can complete for rewards, like the skills you see at the bottom. It is a nearly omnipotent and omnipresent entity from my experience. I used on all three of you, which was the reason for your being as calm as you were, even though you were being filmed during your first time," Kaiden admitted. He had no wish to hide anything from them. It might've been foolish and naive, but he wanted to trust these three.

"Oh! So that's what it was... I thought my mind just somehow managed to filter everything out to help me finish the job without suffering a mental breakdown," Nyx murmured.

"Yeah," Aria agreed.

Luna was curious about one thing in particular. "Why are you going this far? You're seriously endangering yourself by showing us this."

Kaiden summoned forth another window and said, "I want each and every one of you to be my Valkyrie."

Valkyrie Sub-System: The host can assign selected women he starred with to be members of the sub-system. His Valkyries will gain supernatural abilities, and the host's quests will include ensuring their success as well as his own. Valkyries cannot engage in sexual relationships with men other than the host. The host can remove Valkyries from his harem, stripping them of their powers. Valkyries must be adult, non-awakened women.

"I'm going to faint," Aria announced matter-of-factly.

"I can become an awakened too?!" Nyx squealed excitedly.

"I can't say for certain. The description doesn't give too many details..." Kaiden replied, trying to curb her rapidly rising expectations.

"Valkyries cannot engage in sexual relationships with men other than the host, huh? It even comes with a built-in anti-cucking defense mechanism. This system is pretty based, not gonna lie," Luna giggled, seemingly already managing to get over the shock of his revelation.

Kaiden merely chuckled while shaking his head, amused this was the detail Luna decided to highlight.

"What are the plans you mentioned before?" Aria asked.

He remained silent for a moment, collecting his thoughts. Then, Kaiden revealed his plans. "My ultimate goal is to become the strongest existence to have ever lived if such a thing is possible, but for now, I'll humbly settle for us being global media phenoms. I want us to become the most known faces in the whole damn world."

"Wha-? But how? And why?" Nyx questioned.

"You...!" Luna gasped as something clicked in her head. "This fucker wants to upload videos of him raw-dogging us to the awakened media platform!"

The other two girls' heads snapped in his direction faster than the speed of sound, wordlessly asking for confirmation. Kaiden grimaced upon seeing their sharp gazes but ventured to explain himself.

"Please hear me out. To grow in strength, I need views, fangirls, and income, as well as complete the quests the system throws at me. Views and income are strictly porn related, while I don't get the fangirl thing since I already had one before today's filming, but I digress. At first, I planned to just follow the normal career path of a pornstar, but then an idea struck me. Porn is lazy, uninspired. Just look at the cringy scripts we were given today."

"I get that, but where are you going with this?" Nyx asked.

"After thinking long and hard, I concluded that if the four of us were to team up, we could storm the world of content creation together. Zadie was so flabbergasted by our performance that she promised me $3k per film, a tenfold increase compared to what I got today. Why? Because she knew that what we have is special.

We had real, passionate sex. All three of you are incredibly compatible with me—when we did it, we were like real lovers. How much hotter do you think a video is when the two actors are so into each other they are visibly hungry for their partner?

That being said, this is merely the start. I don't want us to become known as porn actors. What we'll be are 'idols.' No, I don't mean the singing, dancing, pretty boys and girls kind of idols. Ever since the apocalypse arrived, such a thing was already a relic of the past. The awakened are the new idols, but they are like supreme existences. Unapproachable murder machines who can trample over common folk whenever they feel like it.

My goal is to become the type of idol people can associate with. We'll be strong, but we won't compete with the sweaty, tryhard S-classed dungeon clearers for views. Just like that Korean faggot, Seo something, we will garner views in our unique way.

Our brand won't be 'invincibility and overwhelming might' but 'strength, sex, and fun' all combined into one package.

Let me separate those three and detail them, starting with strength. I'm already an awakened, so I can grow stronger by killing monsters and other awakened—even though my class is shit, and I'm weak for now. Furthermore, I believe my Valkyries would surely not be just decorations but strong fighters. After all, Valkyries are warrior women or something like that. Why would the system title them as such instead of 'Muses' or 'Divas' or something simple like 'Harem Members' if all they were meant to do was become my lovers?

No, Valkyries will be strong, I'm sure of it. Maybe not right out of the gate, but with time and effort.

That brings us to the second option: sex. I want us doing adult stuff to be a novelty, not our most produced content. It'll just be a bonus that draws the masses in, but our main 'merchandise' will be everything else we do. After all, you can't take over the world of content creation with only porn.

Imagine how many people would pay insane sums of money to watch a porn video of a strong person like Scarlet?-"

Kaiden was then interrupted by Luna, who snickered mischievously, "Or Vespera..."
