Erotic Coin ch.1

World War II was a pivotal moment in history. It marked the beginning of a new era known as the Age of Science and Magic. Grindelwald may not have achieved his personal goal, but he led to the discovery of magic by Muggles. Scientists quickly seized upon this newfound power, which could tip the balance of victory.

After the war, a period called the Cold War ensued, where, in order to level the playing field and make magic accessible to all, most pure-blood families paid the price by sacrificing their own magic. They made it easier for wild magic or other abilities supported by the scientific system to manifest within them.

Magic disruptions caused by scientists creating superhumans led to various dangers, including the emergence of dungeons. Magic went haywire, filling these dungeons with monsters that were reflections of negative emotions. However, as everything in the world tends to balance out, these dungeons also contain artifacts coveted by the entire world.

Father Harry, Giovanni, was unable to awaken his abilities. He was wealthy and hoped to use the serum to become a superhuman and earn even more money. It didn't work, and the sad truth was that his bloodline wasn't suitable.

Scientists discovered that the abilities one could obtain after using the serum were already encoded in their DNA, making altering them nearly impossible.

"If I can't gain abilities, my son will become a superhuman and make our family great!"

When Harry turned 18, Giovanni sent him to the hospital for the serum, hoping his son would change their family's broken fate. It didn't work. Both father and son belonged to the percentage of people who couldn't awaken any abilities, which was frustrating. Harry desired power greatly, especially after his friends abandoned him, not wanting to befriend someone like him.

The afterparty following the failed serum injection consisted of consuming copious amounts of alcohol, beer, whiskey, and anything Harry could find behind the Moonlight Night Club's bar.

"Pour me another one," Harry said, gesturing to the bartender.

"Harry, you've had enough."

"Can you just do your job and pour me another one?"

Even though the bartender knew Harry wasn't okay, he poured him another drink—it was his job, after all.

A few drinks were just the beginning of Harry's night. Moonlight Night Club had plenty to offer, and there was no shortage of women who adored Harry's handsome face.

Harry's slicked-back, coal-black hair captivated every girl who saw it. His green eyes were extraordinary, adding flavor to his perfect facial features and toned body.

That night, he had the time of his life, sharing his bed with numerous girls, providing him with pleasure that made him forget he was a failure. Harry returned home with the help of the bartender who drove him back.

A true friend who wished Harry well.

"What happened?"

Harry got up from the bed, feeling like a truck had run over him multiple times. His head throbbed, and the urge to vomit came immediately after waking up. The previous night, while engaging in intimate encounters with several girls from the nightclub, a notification had appeared before him, displaying his new unique ability. But contrary to what he had thought, Harry was not a failure; the serum had worked on him.

However, Harry was so drunk last night that he hadn't noticed the appearance of his new ability, which was a system.

"What is this?" Harry wondered as he noticed a small circle he could touch with his fingers, like a touch screen.

He did exactly that, causing a massive interface to appear before his eyes.

<Name: Harry Potter>

[Erotic Coins: 10]

[Attributes:]

<Strength: 1>

<Dexterity: 1>

<Endurance: 1>

<Power of Abilities: 1>

<Price: 1 Erotic Coin for 1 point, increases with attribute growth>

It looked exactly like a character screen from a game, allowing the user to enhance attributes, thus increasing their physical power. Not only that, but there was also an attribute called Power of Abilities, and Harry was almost certain it could enhance his other abilities!

But what abilities? Even if his system could improve his body, what good would it be in a confrontation with the incredible abilities of other people? Or worse, with the beasts from the dungeons?

Harry started to worry, but when he scrolled the stats screen before him, he couldn't believe what he saw.

"A shop!"

A shop that used the same erotic coins. What did this shop have? Superhuman abilities! Harry, fearful of lacking one ability, could buy as many as he wanted, as long as he had the money for it. Not only that, but on display were even items that could be found deep in the dungeons, possessing strange properties.

It was a superhuman power capable of accomplishing anything, and Harry couldn't wait to enroll in the country's top university, where some of his "friends" had gone.

"Imagine their faces, those scoundrels."

Many people had distanced themselves from him because he was someone without abilities; to them, he was perceived as weak and unfit for the world. Harry wanted to change that, especially now that he had a powerful system at his disposal.

"What skill should I buy first?"

Harry scrolled through the list of abilities, and there were many to choose from: fire manipulation, water manipulation, wind manipulation, telekinesis, and more. Everything one could think of was there, even abilities that seemed too powerful to be real.

But what could Harry buy with his modest 10 erotic coins? All abilities had levels from 1 to 10. The higher the level, the stronger the ability, and based on his analysis, Harry could upgrade all the powers he bought, which was amazing!

Take, for example, the Hogwarts Upper School, the best academy for superhumans in the country. People had to pass a written and practical test. They needed to perform well in these two tests and have an ability of at least level 3! People could elevate the grade of their superhuman abilities through training and other methods, such as ability crystals that could be found deep in the dungeons - although they were rare and expensive if they could be found for sale.

Harry checked the available abilities for him, and for his 10 erotic coins, he could only afford level 3 abilities, which were not that extraordinary.

Not that these abilities were bad. Harry knew that every ability was strong; it depended on the user and the situation. Of all the abilities he chose, telekinesis looked the coolest.

Why did he choose it? Well, it was the most versatile skill he could buy. With it, Harry could attract and throw any objects at will, and even enter someone's mind to control them if he mastered it.

He could also use telekinesis to make his own body levitate, which was fantastic, and not many people could do that. So, having a mental power gave him many possibilities and was useful in many situations.

It wasn't the strongest combat ability, but it had many functions, and remember, it was only the first skill Harry received. With the help of his system, he could have many abilities, which was unbelievable and almost impossible.

Harry knew that some people had more than one ability, but these were rare cases, and from what he had seen on TV, the highest number of powers a person possessed was three. That was already considered genius, but then what should Harry aim for? With a single click, Harry purchased the telekinesis ability, causing it to appear on his character screen, where his skills were displayed.

<Telekinesis (Grade 3)>: You can move everything with your mind and enter the minds of others.

This ability alone cost him 10 points, making him poor again, but that would change when he reached Harmony Upper School.

"Now I need to show this to my father," Harry thought, searching for something to move in his bedroom.

He wanted to start with small things, fearing he might break something and hurt himself. The object he chose was a pen on the table near his laptop.

With an open palm, Harry moved his hand towards the object, just like a character from a TV show. He tried to concentrate, using his newfound ability to attract the pen to his hand. At first, nothing happened, which was expected.

Using his ability was challenging, especially for Harry, who shouldn't have had it in the first place. But after a few minutes of trying, it worked! Harry's hand acted like a magnet, pulling the pen off the table towards his hand.

"I did it! Hahaha! I did it!" Harry exclaimed with excitement, waking up his father. The door to his bedroom opened, revealing a man who looked like an older version of Harry. "What happened? Son? Why are you so happy?" James asked, furrowing his brows, trying to understand what had made his son so happy. Harry looked at his father and said, "Father, Father, the serum worked, and I am now a superhuman!" "What? Don't play with me, son. You know it's my dream to rebuild this family after the great decline of magic," James said, approaching Harry and grabbing him by the shoulders. James felt like his son was playing with him, but then he remembered that Harry had never played pranks on anyone, especially not his father, who was important to him. "Son, can you show me?" "Of course. Watch and learn," Harry said.

He walked over to the desk, placing the pen on it. James couldn't understand what his son was doing after he saw Harry open his hand. But then the pen on the table flew towards Harry's hand, just like before. "This... this..." "I told you I'm a superhuman now, Dad. Does the best school in the country still accept students?" Harry said with a smile, eager to begin his new journey.

The day turned out to be busy. James, Harry's father, was delighted to see his son becoming a superhuman. What did he have to do? Ensure that his son would get into Harmony Upper School, the best school in the country.

James lacked superhuman powers, but he had money and connections, so pulling a few strings to arrange a train ride for Harry was easy. It helped that there was only a written test, while the most important practical test took place at the school itself. With a bit of cash, they allowed Harry to skip the written test—which was quite easy—and go straight to the practical test.

"Son, don't forget the laptop," James said, helping Harry pack before the journey. They could bring everything except weapons and food; everything had to be packed into a backpack and nothing more. The school operated on a point system, meaning students could earn points in school and use them to buy things. Bringing a lot of stuff was unnecessary and prohibited, as it would make the point system pointless.

"Don't worry, Father. Should I take a flight to Hogsmeade and then catch a train from there?"

As expected, Harmony Upper School was located in a town called Hogsmeade. The school was not inside the town but on the outskirts, like a boarding school.

Harry and his father lived in another city, which meant Harry had to take a plane, making his journey a bit longer. But that's alright because the train to the school was departing in four days, more than enough time for Harry to reach Harmony.

"Yes, here is your passport and tickets. You can't use money in school, but I've sent some to your bank account anyway, as I trust you'll manage within the set limits. Son, I'll miss you, and I hope you become a great superhuman," James said.

James didn't accompany Harry to the town of Hogsmeade because he had many things to attend to, especially now that his son had become a superhuman.

Previously, Harry's father hadn't focused too much on his businesses because he didn't see a future for his family as "crippled." But now that his son had developed telekinetic abilities, James regained hope. He couldn't wait to return to the office and make his businesses decent again so that when his son returned from school in a few years, he could take control of these companies, making them even more extraordinary.
