"Maimoun smiled happily, a smile that carried confidence and a positive outlook towards the future... And of course, his smile also bore a hint of mischief.
Maimoun had always been fond of harems and had always dreamed of having many loyal wives. Needless to mention, he loved the way children came about. If his love for children didn't exceed 50%, then the method of conceiving children surely accounted for another 50%, if not more.
"I was raised in an environment that sanctified responsibility and scorned fleeting relationships, and of course, I am proud of it and proud of my siblings who stood by me and supported me despite our frequent quarrels and differences... Yes, these are the true bonds."
Maimoun's smile widened despite a hint of sadness in his expression.
"It's a little disappointing that I won't hear the nonsense of those fools for a while."
"So whether in the distant or near future, if it is fated for me to have children, I'll make sure they feel such strong and warm bonds. Therefore, I must find a wife who will be a mother to my children, and I won't let my offspring be outside the family circle."
"This system is not just about me, but also about my children and my wife. Therefore, I must be cautious in choosing a mother for my children, and in this regard, I'll do well to find one who will be a good woman to start a family with... probably."
Without hesitation once again, Maimoun finally pressed on the chosen system.
As Maimoun spoke, an image formed in his mind, that of a beautiful girl with white hair and a gentle personality, so kind that it made one want to protect her.
"But will she agree to my proposal? I don't know, but with such beauty, kindness, and goodness, I'd be the dumbest person to try to make her my wife... Anyway, I can't just go straight and tell her that. We must get to know each other first."
[Congratulations on choosing the marriage system]
After Maimoun chose this system, a celebratory window appeared, informing him of his confirmation through the two options below: confirm and retract.
He pressed again without any further long and tedious thought on the confirm button, and then a status window appeared with a task box and a store.
[Name: Fate Stoneheart
Age: 15
Gender: Human
Level: 3
Experience: 54/17
Grade: Villager
Skills: Procrastination (2), Laziness (2), Bullying (1) .... See more.]
"..... What's the story behind these silly skills I possess? Procrastination level 2? Laziness level 2? Am I the kind of person who shuts themselves in a room and disconnects from the outside world? I'm afraid to see more of the skills given to me."
Maimoun felt frustrated upon seeing these skills, but he still clicked to see more.
[Dueling (0), Understanding (0), Misogyny (1)]
"What the heck?!!"
"What's the deal with this skill Misogyny? Am I really...!!"
"Maimoun was struck with genuine horror upon seeing this skill, but he still clung to a thread of hope.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
"Perhaps by 'misogyny,' it means something else and not dislike towards the female gender. Surely, I am not as it suggests. I know myself and my desires well."
"But what if I'm wrong? What if I don't know myself well enough?..."
Maimoun wiped the sweat from his forehead as he tried to understand what his newly acquired system had revealed to him.
"No, no, such traits don't naturally manifest in a person. They are acquired through excessive indulgence. Besides, I didn't suffer any trauma towards men or women in my childhood... Let me see the details of this skill; surely it's not the skill I expect."
Maimoun pressed the skill with a trembling finger, causing a secondary window to describe the skill.
[Misogyny: When you harbor hatred towards women in this world to a certain extent, this skill manifests. It has a negative effect, making its owner perceive any woman, regardless of her beauty, in a repulsive manner, even if she isn't actually repulsive. It also makes other men perceive its user as more attractive than he usually is.]
".... No, nooooooo, I must be in a nightmare. I can't be this kind of person. There's something wrong, no, I can't believe this. I, Maimoun, have always been attracted to women, and I've always known that I was created for them, just as they were created for men. This system cannot deceive me. I'm a rational human being who knows my role in life. I was born with a natural love for women like all other men, and I have maintained it. Therefore, I am definitely not deviant."
Maimoun became more convinced that there was some kind of mistake.
"Yes, that's right. Remembering that when I met that beautiful girl, I felt attracted to her, and my lower part agreed with me. Isn't that right, my friend?"
....
"Yes, this confirms that I am still true to my nature. This system must be flawed; there's no chance that I, Maimoun Al-Shahin, would become deviant and forget my role in life."
Then Maimoun finally noticed the engagement in the system, referring back to the name written in the status.
"Who is this Fayte Stoneheart? Shouldn't it be my name listed here? Wait a moment, isn't this body larger than my own? Does this mean that I've transferred to this dream with just my soul and not my body? If this person called Fayte Stoneheart is the original owner of this body, which the servants used to call the young master... remembering that, that girl had indeed called me by that name."
Maimoun breathed a sigh of relief when he convinced himself of this explanation and logically connected the evidence. Nevertheless, he wanted to verify this assumption by seeing his body, if it had truly changed. So he quickly turned around, searching for something that reflected his new appearance, and finally noticed the room thoroughly with its various items, including the mirror that was his goal, and he headed towards it.
"It's time to see the new look in this world... I hope this body isn't the one I know, otherwise, I won't know how to convince myself afterward."
He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself. The first thing he noticed was his large, somewhat obese body leaning more towards fat than strength, smooth black hair reaching his neck, fair white skin, two handsome eyes as if they held the sky within them.
".... I don't know anything about the previous owner of this body, but looking at this appearance that women might envy and his dubious skills, it would have been better for him to be named Fate Marshmallow Heart instead of Fayte Stoneheart."
Maimoun marveled at the feminine beauty of this body and sighed with sadness.
"How can this man have such fair skin? Hasn't he ever heard of sunlight? And this flabby body, fortunately, it's tall, otherwise, it would have been a ball of fat. No wonder he has the laziness skill at level 2. At least now I'm sure that this skill wasn't mine but belonged to the previous owner of this body."
Though he didn't try to show it, he was genuinely happy that he wasn't in his real body right now, even if he had such a body.
"Anyway, since this body is now mine, it will become more masculine from now on. The positive thing about this body is that I won't be afraid that my appearance will be unpleasant with this handsome face. Now, let's continue to see the status."
[Statistics:
Strength: 0.94
Speed: 0.57
Endurance: 0.44
Defense: 1.06
Intelligence: 0.36
Agility: 0.41
Energy: 0.76

Beauty: 2.5]
"...Are these human statistics or student averages at some university? Isn't this boy extremely weak?"
Maimoun began moving his limbs and performing some basic movements to test his strength.
"This body doesn't seem as weak as stated in the system's statistics. If these stats are correct, what were the stats of my previous body? Unless the unit used by the system is different from the role-playing games I know."
As he questioned, another window popped up, as if it heard his question and answered it.
[Note: Stat unit is the ability of an ordinary man in this world at the age of 33]
"So, it's no wonder most of his stats didn't reach one. But wasn't the previous body's owner very stupid to have an intelligence of 0.36 compared to an average person's intelligence? It seems I have a lot of work ahead of me to make this person with abilities just like an ordinary person. So, what about becoming the top in the world?.. Let's see the titles now."
[Titles: Young useless master, Ambition killer, Bed Conqueror, The eternal winter sleeper, Ungrateful, Beauty hater, The procrastinator hero...]
"...No comment! No wonder that wicked maid used to glare at me with contempt as if she were looking at the worst trash."
whit Sighing, Maimoun continued to see the text of task.
[Preliminary Task (World Task): ... This body needs a lot of work.]
[Required: Make three laps around the palace, go to the training ground, and do 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and 100 sword swings.]
[Reward: Skill box, retrieval of the previous owner's memory, system adjustment to align with the user, 37 experience point.]
[Punishment: If you don't do the exercises within three hours, the previous owner's skills and titles will accompany you forever.]
"...Run, Maimoun, your manhood depends on this task."
Maimoun rushed out of his room as if someone were chasing him with intent to kill.
"A state of extreme alertness, cancel all thoughts and plans, my future is at stake, it makes no sense to be in the most beautiful place when I'm blind, to have money and not spend it, to have the finest foods and not taste them, to have the most beautiful wife and not be able to touch her."
"There's no point in continuing this dream if I don't play my role as a man. So, run with all the strength you have, Maimouuuun!"
