RISE OF EROS

"What do you mean?" Andrew couldn't stop himself from asking. Andrew and Fluffy's telepathic conversation had confused Kalifa because she did not understand why his boss had become so silent.

However, Sonia did understand what was happening. As the bearer of Andrew's seal, she knew of the existence of the divine beast, so she simply placed her hand on Kalifa's shoulder and said in a low voice, "The young master is thinking something."

Kalifa who wanted to interrupt Andrew, upon hearing Sonia's words remained silent. She was still nervous, because what Andrew had said about her asking not to be made a courtesan still resonated in her mind.

She wasn't innocent enough to be a virgin or care about sex, because it was obvious that she could write about it in her diary, so it didn't really bother her, but she still didn't want to sell her body.

Elves, regardless of their ethnicity, are the proudest race on the continent and although they are not holy and elegant, selling their body for money was something they would not do under normal circumstances.

This alone hinted at the pain that the seal of slavery could inflict. It was like feeling your soul being torn apart, there was no physical pain that could surpass that and there was no one in this world who could endure it.

As a slave, taking her own life without the order of her master was impossible, so Kalifa preferred to put her pride aside and sell her body, but if she could avoid it she would gladly do so.

While she was thinking about all this, Andrew continued talking to Fluffy about the blessing that Kalifa had. According to his explanation, it was a somewhat weak blessing, especially since Kalifa's means of using it was writing.

Fluffy had told him that there were many ways to use it depending on the person. Some through music, others through touch, and there were even some who could do it by telling a simple story.

If it were one of these options, the blessing would be much stronger, since it can be used in battle, but through writing it was difficult. Just think about it, who in the middle of a battle will sit down and read?

For this reason, Fluffy said that it had its uses, but using writing as a medium was an impractical blessing. Although Fluffy said that, Andrew thought differently. Using it in battle is indeed impractical, but there was another way.

He came from another world. A world where writing was powerful and an idea had just occurred to him, so he asked, "Fluffy, if this girl writes a story using her blessing and that book is copied, will it maintain its effects?"

Fluffy did not respond immediately, but rather he thought for a moment. Although the wait wasn't long, Andrew was a little impatient, but he stuck it out and then Fluffy said, "Well if you use the right tool."

"What do you mean?" Andrew asked again, not understanding the divine beast's words. "Well, if it is just transcribed as it is done in this world the blessing will be transmitted but it will be very weak, but if you use a system copier, it will be better", said Fluffy.

Pausing slightly he added, "Of course, even with that artifact, the effect will diminish, but not by much. Furthermore, if that girl improves her blessing, changes may occur."

Andrew understood this and immediately checked how much the copier that Fluffy had mentioned cost. It was relatively expensive, but it was something he could achieve in a couple of months, Andrew theorized.

Having finished their conversation, Andrew looked back at Kalifa and said, "It's really good," he paused and added, "I can take Sonia's proposal into consideration, but you will have to do other work."

Kalifa immediately brightened and responded enthusiastically, "Anything," to which Andrew smiled and said, "Well, it really is something you'll like. Your new job will be writing books."

Andrew's words not only confused Kalifa, but Sonia as well. She knew Andrew better and she knew that all of his businesses were related to eroticism and sex, so she couldn't deduce what he meant by turning Kalifa into a writer.

Seeing the confusion of the two girls, Andrew smiled and explained, "Kalifa, I am a businessman in the entertainment sector. More specifically, eroticism and sex, so I don't intend to move away from that."

Andrew paused and continued, "You don't want to be a courtesan and you like to write, so I will allow you to do so, but there are conditions." Kalifa became serious and nodded in a way to demonstrate her understanding and that she expected him to continue.

"You can write about whatever you want. I will even help you publish the books you write, but the condition is that for every book you write, erotic scenes will always be portrayed. It doesn't have to be the focus of the novel, but it does have to be scenes relevant to the story," Andrew said.

Kalifa and Sonia were at a loss with the condition. They did not understand what Andrew was asking and noticing this, Andrew continued his explanation, "In this world, most books are academic, magic, or adventure journals, but that is not what I want you to write."

Pausing, Andrew continued, "I want you to write novels. Novels are stories about something. It can be a romance between two people, about the adventures of a person or a group, about war, gods, sex, or anything you want."

Andrew paused again to see if Kalifa was following his explanation and noticing that she was paying attention he continued speaking, "For example, this diary that you gave me is good, but it is not a story, you only wrote data, that is not what I want you to do".

"I give you an example, you can make a story about how a rich young man falls in love with a humble employee. You can add other characters such as friends, love rivals, family members who oppose them, enemies who hate them and thus create a story full of intrigue, and romance and give them a happy ending if you wish," Andrew finished explaining.

When Andrew saw the two girls, they seemed to have stars in their eyes. Andrew was confused by this reaction and couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong?", to which Sonia responded without thinking, "Young master, I want to read that novel."

Andrew almost fell out of his chair when he heard Sonia say that. Shaking his head he couldn't help but think, "No matter the world, all women are attracted to romance."

"Don't dawdle, Sonia, I'm not very good at writing. I can give a general guide, but I have no talent, but Kalifa seems to have it. I think I can give you an idea to develop. What do you say?" Andrew asked.

Kalifa immediately replied, "Yes young master, I would be delighted." Andrew smiled at the genuine smile on her face and continued speaking, "That's great, but like I said, the books you write should have erotic content."

Andrew paused and added, "Now, they don't have to be just about sex. Taking the previous example, you can make a romance novel, but where you write scenes where the characters have intimate relationships."

Kalifa seemed to understand, but she still spoke up to verify, "So, what the young master wants is that, regardless of the main plot of the story, there must be parts with intimacy, right?"

Andrew smiled again when he heard her because it seemed that his idea was understood and nodding his head he said, "That's right. Why don't we do a test and try to write a story based on the idea I said earlier?"

"Imagine a wealthy young man of high status, a nobleman if you like so, who falls in love with a servant in his mansion. That's the general idea, the rest depends on your imagination. Don't be afraid to write crazy things or things that aren't publicly accepted, if you think it's good, just write it, and I'll judge," Andrew said.

Kalifa continued to nod like a chicken eating corn and a burning fire of emotion could be seen in her eyes. She had really liked the idea and she was excited to get started, but suddenly her gaze faded.

Andrew noticing this, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Kalifa seemed reluctant to speak and Sonia, noticing this, approached her and said, "The young master will not get angry, speak calmly."

The girl slightly nodded and with shyness and concern she began to speak, "Young master, I really don't believe that you will give us freedom like Sonia promised, but if I do a good job, could you be merciful to us?"

Andrew was surprised, as he didn't expect her to ask for mercy for all the girls, not just her. Thanks to his Eros eyes, Andrew could see the girl's fear in her aura and he couldn't help but feel bad.

He got up from his seat and approached Kalifa who was already shaking with fear, believing that he would hit her or something worse. Andrew stood on the same level as her since he is taller, and caressing her cheek he said, "Silly. I understand that it is difficult to believe in my promise, but I will not lie to you."

"I don't hurt my employees unless they betray me. I really value loyalty and hard work, if you and the girls do your best, believe me, I will reward you and them with freedom", said Andrew still caressing the cheek of the elf who was blushing a little.

Andrew looked at her and found her extremely cute and tender. He almost couldn't stop himself from knocking her down, but he restrained himself and kept saying, "Just work hard, but don't overexert yourself.

You have a month to show me what you have written, I will evaluate it and if you do it well I will give you a reward." Kalifa didn't know why, but she felt that Andrew wasn't lying to her, so she nodded, regaining her enthusiasm. Discover hidden tales at empire
