"A power that breeds psychopaths. How charming." Leon sighed, "I wouldn't have chosen this if I knew it was a psychopath cultivation technique for cultists."
He was grateful it didn't enslave people. However, the risks were shockingly high, and the warnings were alarming.
Moreover, he wasn't naive enough to believe it wouldn't change someone's personality.
Leon closed his eyes and listened to the sound of Caitlyn's breathing.
'This power is dangerous because you never truly know a person's intentions.'
Perhaps he was just projecting because he was the worst. However, he was also undeniable proof of what he was weary of.
"Let's see if there's good news in the rewards department." Leon whispered.
—
Congratulations! By some grace or miracle, you're still alive.
The Harem God finds it amusing the reason was a woman. It seems you didn't ask for his power because you were a hopeless virgin, after all.
He has thus recognized you as a real candidate for his power and has rewarded you.
Reward: Sex Recovery Ambrosia.
Description: After a long night of casual sex, the Recovery Ambrosia helps heal your wounds and get you back to full health and magic.
Effects: Full recovery of health and magic.
Would you like to accept it now? [Y/N].

The corner of Leon's mouth twitched when he read the description.
"Wounds!? I need to improve my sex game—"
"At…las?" Caitlyn whispered in confusion.
Leon panicked and pressed [Y] by reflex before shutting down the interface.
A pink light lit up in his hand, and a bottle materialized.
It was pink and white and had hearts over it.
Worse, [Sex Recovery Ambrosia] was written on it with bold, black latex pop art letters.
Calling it an aphrodisiac would be flattering.
"Couldn't it look like a mythical vial or something!?" Leon cried inwardly.
If laying against her half-naked body without her awareness wasn't enough, he got caught talking about improving sex techniques while holding a sex product!
"Wait! I wasn't talking to, about, not, this, you…." He stuttered in confusion.
"Why do you sound so panicked? I've never seen you show any real emotion." Caitlyn asked while opening her eyes.
The second they opened, she realized why Leon sounded so uncomfortable.
Caitlyn's face turned bright red in a panic.
She threw her body off him and laid on her back.
Leon was lying awkwardly on the far edge, so it was possible.
Then she moved her hands to her chest before moving them down toward her thighs.
"Yes. I put them back on you. I hope you don't mind. I promise I didn't cop a feel or anything perverted." Leon sighed.
"What? Am I not pretty enough?" She asked in a dejected tone.
"Yeah, I promise… wait, what?" He answered in shock.
"You should see your face right now." Caitlyn giggled while attempting to sit up. "It's price—agh!"
Midway through sitting, a wound on her side opened up, and she gasped in pain.
"Don't try to sit up!" Leon requested in a panicked voice.
He pulled himself out of the covers and stood up to help.
Caitlyn averted her eyes in embarrassment, causing him to look down.
Not only was he half naked, but his damp boxers form-fitted to his generous endowments.
Combined with his shockingly chiseled body, he looked like the cover of a steamy romance novel written for bored wives.
Worse, there was a strange bottle in his hand, and he didn't know whether she had seen it.
Leon stopped in his tracks before composing himself.
"We escaped some demons by moving through the river." Leon sighed.
"I was laying next to you because you were shaking and at risk of hypothermia. I'm sorry."
"I was just joking. Don't worry." Caitlyn replied before wincing in pain again.
Leon looked at the bottle in his hand with a cringing expression.
"I… know that this situation is awkward, but…."
Caitlyn looked at Leon out of the corner of her eye.
"But…?"
"I… I got a potion from my interface, which will heal your wounds. However, you'll have to trust me." Leon sighed.
"Are you trying to drug me?" She asked innocently.
"What? No! It's not like that." He replied hurriedly.
"Pity." Caitlyn muttered under her breath.
"Wait, what?" Leon asked in bewilderment.
"Joking." She giggled with a pained expression.
Leon closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Will you trust me?" He asked.
"You… said it came from your interface, yes?" Caitlyn asked with a serious tone.
"Correct." Leon confirmed.
"Not to be rude, but… it isn't slave juice to add me to your harem, is it?"
Leon cracked, and his face flushed bright red.
"No. It's not like that!"
Caitlyn giggled in response.
"I'm joking. Sure, I'll trust you."
Leon took a deep breath to compose himself before handing it to her.
"If you have an inspect skill, please use it." He instructed dryly.
When she saw the bottle, she froze and looked toward her waist.
"It says this is a rewarded item…. Used after sex…." Caitlyn whispered with conflicted eyes.
"Whoa. Wait up. I'm not trying to harm you." Leon replied in a panic.
Caitlyn turned to Leon with a confused expression. But she wasn't hiding her mischievousness.
"Harm me? This has miraculous healing benefits. I'm just confused why you'd give me a rewarded item with a use case."
She looked back at the bottle in genuine amazement.
"Given the value, I feel borderline obligated to use it as intended."
Leon's expression imploded, and he stared at her with depleted eyes.
"So you're okay with drinking it?"
Caitlyn laughed in bewilderment.
"Am I okay with drinking this? Forget the absurd effects; I'd drink this stuff from the branding alone. Who makes this stuff?"
"The Harem God. Or his product marketing team." Leon chuckled with a wry smile.
"Fuck. Yes. Are you sure you want to—"
Caitlyn groaned in pain again.
"Drink it. Please." He sighed.
Caitlyn stared at the bottle with a complicated expression before popping out the cork and gulping it down.
Within seconds, her wounds healed instantly, and vitality returned to her face.
"That was miraculous. By human standards, that was a legendary item." Caitlyn remarked in astonishment.
"Are you sure you don't want compensation?"
Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she moved her body seductively.
"If you're offering… then yes, I would like compensation." Leon replied with a conflicted voice.
