Pirate: Crew of Desire and Bonds

While Grace continued her devoted work below, Jake turned his attention to his status window.

[Name: Jake Bond]

[Class: Warrior (Common)]

[Unique Class: Bonds Captain (???)]

[Strength: Above Average]

[Intelligence: Average]

[Vitality: Above Average]

[Agility: Above Average]

Sex Fiend (Passive) (NEW)

[Upgrade Points: 2500]

[Crew (Pirate): Grace Lightborn]

The sight of the huge amount of Upgrade Points made Jake’s heart race with excitement.

Grace noticed the sudden throb of his cock and responded with a happy, muffled moan.

”Mhmm~ ♡”

”Ohh~” Jake swallowed hard, savoring the pleasure from both below and deep in his chest.

But then he frowned.

He remembered that upgrading his Unique Class required 500 Upgrade Points and 100 Gold Coins... which he currently didn’t have.

’Let’s try looting those corpses later... maybe they’ll have some money on them.’

With that thought, he decided to upgrade his Vitality first as he urgently needed faster recovery.

But just as he tried to allocate the points—

[Ding!]

[Upgrading Vitality requirements not met!]

[Requirement: Rare Class or higher]

Jake blinked at the new information.

’So I can’t freely upgrade my stats either... It seems Above Average is the limit for a Common Class.’

Jake was a bit annoyed by the restriction, but at least this revelation gave him valuable insight into how the system worked.

It seemed that common classes had their own caps.

No wonder the rare class Bone Crusher had felt so overwhelmingly strong.

’But how the hell is my Luck Legendary...?’ Jake wondered.

’Maybe innate traits or luck don’t follow the same restrictions?’

It seemed he still had a lot to learn about his own class.

With a sigh, he shifted his focus.

’Fine. Then I’ll focus on what I can improve for now.’

Jake quickly scanned the rest of his status.

Since Vitality was locked, he decided to put points into Endurance to help him endure the pain and recover-

’You know what? I’m going to max all of them.’

Jake laughed inwardly.

The points required to upgrade from Average to Above Average were only around 200 each, and right now he was rich in Upgrade Points.

[Ding!]

[Intelligence has been upgraded!]

[Average → Above Average]

[-200 Upgrade Points]

[Ding!]

[Endurance has been upgraded!]

[Average → Above Average]

[-200 Upgrade Points]

Jake felt a warm surge flow through his mind and body.

His thoughts became slightly sharper, and his endurance felt noticeably more solid, helping him better tolerate the pain from his injuries.

And he still had over 2,100 points left.

Grace, still eagerly sucking him below, moaned loudly as she felt his cock throb even harder in her mouth.

She glanced up with hazy, loving eyes, clearly happy that her Captain was feeling stronger.

”Mmmph~ ♡”

Jake groaned deeply, one hand gently stroking her golden hair as pleasure and satisfaction mixed together.

He couldn’t help but sigh at the feeling of growing stronger while enjoying her devoted service.

Looking down at the devoted Grace, he smiled and opened her status window as well.

[Name: Grace Lightborn]

[Bond: 3 Stars]

[Class: Fail Gunner (Trash)]

[Strength: Pathetic]

[Intelligence: Average]

[Vitality: Above Average]

[Agility: Pathetic]

[Endurance: Average]

[Luck: Pathetic]

[Skills:]

Sex Fiend (Passive)

Basic Combat Mastery (Passive – Lv.0)

Shaky Aim (Passive)

Delayed Trigger (Passive)

Wild Shot (Lv.0)

Faulty Maintenance (Passive)

Light Manifestation (Lv.0)

Current Condition: Deepening Affection, Relief, Energetic, Highly Aroused.

Remark: (Hehehe... Jake seems to enjoy my mouth... I have to do it even better~)

Jake couldn’t help but smile wryly at the remark.

Even in her status, Grace was thinking about pleasing him.

Her current stats were still quite low overall, especially for someone who wanted to fight beside him.

But that was fine.

With over 2,100 points remaining, he had more than enough to invest in her.

Then he tried to upgrade Grace’s Strength directly from Pathetic to Above Average, but—

[Ding!]

[Requirement not met!]

[Need to be at least Common Class to have more than one stat at Above Average!]

Jake eye widened slightly at this.

’Interesting... So Trash Classes are even more restricted. It seem at most, only a single stat can reach the Above Average rank. Common Classes, on the other hand, seem capable of developing multiple stats beyond that threshold.’

With that thought, he tried to upgrade Grace’s class.

[Ding!]

[Requirement not met!]

[Requirement: 200 Upgrade Points + 50 Gold Coins]

Jake clicked his tongue internally at this requirement.

’Being poor really makes this difficult...’

It seemed he would need to find a way to earn more gold coins after this.

With a sigh, he shifted his focus and began pouring points into Grace’s stats.

He quickly began upgrading her other pathetic stats.

[Ding!]

[Strength has been upgraded!]

[Pathetic → Average]

[-100 Upgrade Points]

[Ding!]

[Agility has been upgraded!]

[Pathetic → Average]

[-100 Upgrade Points]

[Ding!]

[Luck has been upgraded!]

[Pathetic → Average]

[-200 Upgrade Points]

A soft, warm glow enveloped Grace’s body.

She moaned loudly around his cock, her golden eyes widening in pleasure as fresh strength flowed into her limbs and core.

”Mmm~ ♡♡”

The sensation made her suck him even harder, her head bobbing faster as her renewed energy and heightened arousal fed into her devotion.

Her tongue moved with greater strength, wrapping and stroking him eagerly while her throat fluttered around his throbbing length.

Meanwhile, Jake smiled lewdly as he felt the sudden increase in suction from below.

Grace was sucking him with even more enthusiasm after the power flowed into her.

But then Jake blinked as he noticed something else.

The cost of upgrading Luck was double that of the other stats.

’Does that mean Luck is a special stat? Is that why it requires so many more points?’

He couldn’t think of any other explanation.

Still, after pouring so many Upgrade Points into her, Grace’s foundation was already far more solid than before.

All that remained were her skills.

He hadn’t upgraded any of his own skills yet either, making this the perfect opportunity to see whether there were any restrictions as well.

Jake decided to start with his most reliable ability that saved his life.

[Ding!]

[Upgrading Instinct (Passive – Lv.2) failed!]

[Requirement: 6,000 Upgrade Points + Rare Class]

[Ding!]

[Upgrading Battle Adept (Passive – Lv.1) failed!]

[Requirement: 3,000 Upgrade Points]

”Huh?”
