Supreme Casanova: Ultimate Harem System

Chapter 138: Glowing.



Hugo practically skipped up the stairs to his dorm, humming a love song he didn't even know the words to.

The glow of his happiness was so strong that the hallways themselves seemed brighter—at least in his mind.

Even the air felt fresher. It smelled of hope and grand aspirations and a bright future. Hugo's nose twitched when the smell of burnt potatoes filtered through the door opposite his...

Maybe not that fresh...

Still, he was undeterred. Nothing could make him even as much as frown. He was still above the clouds and he intended to remain there for as long as possible.

He swung the door open with enough enthusiasm to scare a passing cockroach, and there was Collins, hunched over the desk like a monk studying sacred texts.

Hugo blinked. Once. Twice. The unbelievable sight before him remained as it was. It didn't fizzle out like a hologram like he expected it to.

What the f*ck!

"Collins," he said slowly, as if trying to process the scene before him. "Are you... actually doing homework?"

Collins didn't even look up. He just kept scribbling notes like he was solving world hunger. He even had glasses on!

He looked every inch a studious and handsome young man. "Yeah, so?"

Hugo leaned against the doorframe dramatically, clutching his chest like he'd just been hit by a revelation.

Actually, he felt like his whole worldview was turning upside down and swirling fast. Had they already reached the end of this semester?

"I just… I didn't know you remembered you were a student! Like, this whole time, I thought you were here to model for the university brochure or host those exclusive parties you never invite me to."

Collins finally looked up, his eyes narrowing at the exorbitant amount of sarcasm in Hugo's voice.

"Excuse me, I am a man of balance. Academics and fun go hand in hand."

"Balance?!" Hugo burst out laughing. "The only balance you've ever shown is balancing a bottle on your head during that pool party. And you still failed in the end!"

Collins smirked, snapping the lid on his pen and picking a sharpened pencil. "Hey, don't hate the player, Hugo. I've got layers. You wouldn't understand. You can't understand."

"Layers?" Hugo snorted, dropping his bag onto the couch. "You're not an onion, mate. You're more like a... single pancake. Flat and predictable. And your only goal in life is to woo all the girls in this world!"

"Predictable, huh? At least your speculations aren't bad." Collins leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms.

"Speaking of predictable, why are you glowing like some lovesick firefly? Your face is shining brighter than a concert spotlight."

Hugo froze mid-step. His cheeks suddenly flushed. "Glowing? What are you talking about? I'm not glowing."

Hugo turned around and began to glance around the room with sudden interest. His fake solemn gaze couldn't hide the smirk on his lips, though.

Collins squinted, then gasped, pointing an accusatory finger at him. "You are! Holy crap, Hugo! Did you—" He stood, his chair screeching back.

"No way. You joined the big leagues, didn't you? You lost your—"

Hugo threw his hands up, cutting him off with a smug grin. "Look, Collins, some things are sacred. And yeah, I may have… achieved greatness, but we're not discussing the details."

Collins was practically vibrating with curiosity, his usual cool demeanor slipping. "What do you mean we're not discussing the details! You dare?!"

Hugo wasn't about to back down, he gave his roommate a cold smirk and placed his hands behind his back. "Even the grand immortals don't dare to stop me, talk less of you, a mere mortal!"

"Come on, man! Just a hint! Was it romantic? Was it awkward? How fast did you slime? Did you cry?"

Hugo raised an eyebrow. "Cry? What do you think I am, a Nicholas Sparks protagonist? No, no, this isn't storytime. I've got bigger things to handle right now."

Collins flopped back into his chair, groaning dramatically. "You're the worst, you know that? I've been here mentoring you, guiding you through the perilous waters of Rizz, and now you're keeping secrets? Now that you've had some fortuitous encounters you're going to turn on the force that raised you?"

"Mentoring?" Hugo snorted. "You mean giving terrible advice like 'confidence is just pretending you're not an idiot'? Don't worry, mate, your legacy is safe."

With that, Hugo strutted into his room, shutting the door behind him with flair.

Of course he knew he couldn't hide much from his buddy Collins, but he really couldn't afford to wait.

He had been so eager to check out the rewards from the system since last night!

They were sure to be plentiful!

He paused in the middle of his room, rubbed his hands together like a cartoon villain, and whispered, "System, system, it's time to see the rewards of my hard work!"

The Ultimate Harem System beeped in his mind, its voice as smug as ever.

[Ding! System Online: Welcome back, Hugo. You've unlocked a new milestone reward for reaching… ahem, 'first base and beyond.' Would you like to claim your prizes?]

Hugo's grin stretched wide. "Oh, I don't just want to claim it. I need to claim it. Lay it on me!"

It had been so long since the system had been online and spoken to him. It felt nostalgic.

Hugo had no control over this, and it also couldn't be predicted either, he could only guess today's appearance was as a result of him completing the death mission.

The system itself had come online to distribute his rewards! It was sure to be amazing!

[Ding! Host has completed the novice welcome death mission and completely passed the tutorial mode! Issuing rewards according to performance...]

It was time to see the fruits of Hugo's labour after one month of hard, gruesome work.
