NOVEL NEXT The Incubus System
Chapter 39. Guilt
The Incubus System Chapter 39. Guilt
I let out a breath, my eyes stared at the announcement before me.
[Your Demonic Power is fully charged.]
[Level Up!]
[You are now Level 13.]
[You have 25 unused stat points.]
[You have 3 unused skill points.]
[You have earned a new title: Sex Maniac. Are you not tired? All Stat + 3.]
After I closed my status screen, I turned my attention to Mia and Pearl who lay limply in front of me. Their bodies were wet with sweat and my fresh semen was still dripping from their wet heat. Their eyes closed as their tiredness and drowsiness swallowed their consciousness. Different from yesterday, this time it wasn't my body scent that smelled like Pearl's or Mia's but their body scent that turned into like mine.
'They over-exert themselves.'
I knew they were tired but they kept pushing themselves since I said I wouldn't resist today.
Seeing from their condition that at least they would not wake up until morning, I decided to tell the manager to look after them.
Turning to the side, my feet came down to the floor and stood up, I pressed a button on an electronic device that was hanging on the wall near the door.
"Lady Pearl and Miss Mia will sleep here today. Please take care of them."
"Okay," a voice answered me.
After that, I gathered my clothes that were scattered on the floor and wore them. My eyes were fixed on the wall clock near me.
09.36 PM.
'I still have time ...'
'Status.'
[Status]
[Name: Damian Lucio] [Age: 18]
[Level 13] [Exp: 15.36%]
[Race: Demon-Incubus] [Title: Sex Maniac]
[HP: 350/350] [DP: 300/300]
[STR: 41] [VIT: 35]
[AGI: 47] [LUK: 25]
[INT: 32] [WIS: 30]
[Partners - 5]
[Camila Creststream - Human (35)]
[Mia Ashelis - Hybrid-beast (24)]
[Pearl Seabloom - Hybrid-beast (20)]
[Celia Strongheart - Human (17)]
[Diamond Seabloom - Hybrid-beast (20)]
[Unused stat - 25]
I thought for a moment, choosing which status I should raise.
'Add LUK by 5 points.'
'Add STR by 9 points.'
'Add AGI by 3 points.'
[LUK: 25] => [LUK: 30]
[STR: 41] => [STR: 50]
[AGI: 47] => [AGI: 50]
I made that decision because after this I had to help Emma to hunt demons and I could not use any skills in front of her. With the combination of LUK, STR and AGI, I could defeat my enemies faster without relying on any skill.
There were still 8 status points left, I planned to add them to my INT but I postponed it. Who knew I need it for my battle later?

[Your Devil Space skill is at maximum level.]

[Congratulations! You just unlock new skills.]

[Hell Thunder - Thunder-elemental magic ability that inflicts dark thunder damage on all targets and has the chance to paralyze the enemy (1 INT point = 1 point damage). Damage and paralyze rate is increase by skill level. ]
My eyes widened, I was quite surprised because all my next skills were actually related to my INT. Soon, my smile developed.
'Now I can fight while keeping a distance from my opponent.' I just wanted to raise it but I postponed it again since I wanted to try on my 2 new skills beforehand. My eyes glanced at the clock.
09.47 PM.
'I need to go now. '
I approached Pearl and Mia who were asleep on the bed and gave them a kiss on their foreheads once more.
"Good night..."
----
My feet stepped out of the Ledred district to the Nighthallow station. As soon as I arrived in front of the station, I swept my around but I didn't find Emma. Since she hadn't arrived yet so I took this opportunity to change my clothes. I went inside the station, taking my bag in the locker and replacing my suit with my t-shirt so I could move easier. Before I returned my bag to the locker, I checked my cellphone to check whether Celia had answered my message or not. But even though my message status showed she had read it, but she did not reply to me. I knew it was the same as yesterday but I couldn't help myself but feel worried after last night's incident.
'Is she angry? Or does she feel guilty about what we did? '
Actually, this was my fear after we did it, I was afraid our relationship would become distant and awkward, afraid that she felt guilty because of her feelings for me and I didn't want that... I didn't want Celia to act cold to me anymore.
I remembered that this system allows me to check my partner's status.
'Check Celia Strongheart's status.'
[Name: Celia Strongheart] [Age: 17]
[Level 1] [Race: Human]
[HP: 30/30] [MP: 10/10]
[Skills: Cooking lv 5]
[Emotion: In love, guilty, anxious.]
[Love meter: 5/10]
[Condition: Normal]
[Condition: Normal]
[Relationship: Incubus' Partner]
[Profession: Student]
A breath came out of my mouth.
'I knew it... She felt guilty about what happened yesterday.'
My hand moved to type on my cellphone screen.
Me: Celia, whatever happens, you are still my sister. I hope you don't feel guilty about what happened last night.
Soon Celia answered my message.
Celia: Really? You are not mad at me?
Me: Of course not.
Celia: Aren't you home late because you want to avoid me?
Realizing Celia misunderstood me, I quickly called her number. Now I understood why she felt guilty and anxious. After several ringtones, she finally picked up my call.
"Yes?" Celia's voice sounded gloomy.
"Celia, I am not avoiding you. I just need to do something today."
Celia fell silent.
"Celia?" My worries were clearly heard from my voice. I could understand her fear, because by making a confession like before she risked ruining our relationship.
After a while, Celia spoke again.
"But you rarely came home late before ..."
"But you rarely came home late before ..."
"I'm sorry. I've been busy lately. But I'm not avoiding you, it all has to do with my work."
"Are you not lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you." I sighed and spoke again.
"Celia ... You're my only sister. I love you and always be," I said sincerely.
"Brother... Thank you."
My attention was diverted on Celia's status screen that was still in front of me and realized her emotions had changed.
[Emotion: In love, relieved.]
My smile grew after I knew she felt better.
"Since you will come home late again, do you want me to make something for dinner?" said Celia.
My face brightened when I heard Celia's words. My mind immediately imagined her cooking, especially my favourite fried rice, but I stopped my intention to ask her to make something for me because it was too late for her to go out shopping now.
"I had my dinner already," I lied. I planned to stop by the 24-hours convenience store to buy my dinner before going home.
"Don't come home too late, okay? "
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
I hung up and sighed in relief.
* Ding *
Just when I returned my cellphone in my bag, a message ringtone came from Damian's cellphone.
Emma: I'm already in front of Nighthallow Station. Where are you?
My hand moved to type my reply quickly.
Me: I'll be there soon.
I closed the locker door and locked it. Then I walked out of the station with a cap on my head.
Even though I helped Emma out of my own free will, but I felt hunting demons was also my responsibility. I was given a system that made me stronger. If I could use it to help the others why not?
Besides, I promised Lilieth to help her overcome this problem. Aside from helping Emma, actually, I planned to find out how the demon hunters detected demons and tried to get some information about the association. That way, I could find a way to avoid them.
'Human or demon, I am still Ethan and I will try to do my best for everything.'
