A warm sensation spread through Ye Xuan's body as he lay in bed, his consciousness hovering between wakefulness and slumber. The system's interface still shimmered before him, casting a dim glow in the darkened room.
His heart pounded. The Incubus System. It wasn't just an ordinary power—it was something that could redefine his entire existence.
Wei Zhen's voice echoed inside his mind, amused yet intrigued."Kid, you've just been blessed by the God of Incubi. Do you even realize what kind of power you've received?"
Zhang Hu, ever the pragmatic businessman, chuckled."Forget power—this is an investment. If used wisely, you could build an empire. But tell me, Ye Xuan, what do you plan to do now?"
Ye Xuan exhaled slowly. His fingers clenched into fists. He had lost everything once. Now, he had been granted something extraordinary. Was it fate? Or was it a cruel joke?
The warm sensation in his body intensified, his skin tingling as if unseen hands traced his muscles. His breath turned shallow. A notification appeared.
[Incubus Physique Activation: Your body is adjusting to its transformation.]
A wave of heat surged through him, pooling deep inside his core. His muscles tightened, his skin felt hypersensitive, and his heartbeat grew erratic.
"Oh? This is interesting." Wei Zhen's playful voice rang out. "You're already reacting to the changes. Looks like your body is evolving to suit your new... role."
"I suggest you endure it," Zhang Hu remarked casually. "Resistance is futile. Adapt, and you will thrive."
Ye Xuan grated his teeth, gripping the sheets beneath him as the transformation continued. His already well-toned physique felt sharper, more defined. The exhaustion from the previous night's work had completely disappeared, replaced by a burning vitality.
Then, another notification popped up.
[Special Trait Acquired: Incubus Aura (Lv. 1)]Your presence will subtly attract women within a small radius. The more confident you are, the stronger the effect.
Ye Xuan sat up, breathing heavily. His hands trembled as he wiped sweat from his forehead. The changes weren't just in his body. He could feel it—a new kind of energy coursing through him, something raw and primal.
He clenched his fist. This power... was real.
A smirk tugged at the corner of his lips."If this is my new reality, then I'll master it."
Wei Zhen laughed heartily. "That's the spirit, kid! Now, let's put that charm to good use. Time to see just how much fun we can have."
Zhang Hu adjusted his metaphorical glasses. "Before we get ahead of ourselves, let's establish a plan. Power means nothing without control. If you want to dominate the scene, we need a strategy."
Ye Xuan exhaled sharply, his eyes gleaming in the dim light.
Tomorrow, he would step into the world as a new man.
The crisp morning air carried a refreshing chill as Ye Xuan jogged through the park, his body brimming with newfound vitality. Each step felt lighter, more controlled, his enhanced physique responding effortlessly. The rhythmic pounding of his feet against the pavement blended with the distant chirping of birds, a stark contrast to the primal heat still lingering in his veins.
It was exhilarating. His body, once worn down by struggles, now pulsed with unstoppable energy.
As he turned onto a quieter path, the scenery shifted—lush trees lined the dirt trail, leading toward a secluded riverside. The gentle flow of water added an almost hypnotic ambiance, the perfect place for peace and solitude.
Or so he thought.
A faint sound—soft, breathy gasps—reached his heightened senses.
Ye Xuan slowed his jog, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the direction of the noise. Just beyond a thick oak tree, a couple was entangled in a heated embrace.
The girl was gorgeous. Long, silky brown hair cascaded down her back, slightly disheveled from the passionate exchange. She wore a tight, cropped athletic top that barely contained her plump, heaving chest, the sweat clinging to her fair skin making it almost translucent in the morning light. Her luscious thighs peeked out from beneath dangerously short running shorts, her legs wrapped tightly around her partner's waist as he pressed her against the tree.
Her moans, though muffled, carried a sensual tremor that sent a wave of heat through Ye Xuan's body.
"Damn..." Wei Zhen whistled inside his mind, intrigued. "That's a fine piece of work, alright. And look at her—completely lost in the moment."
Zhang Hu chuckled. "Not just lost. Look at the guy. He's struggling to keep up. Her body's craving more than he can handle."
Ye Xuan smirked. It was obvious.
The man—her boyfriend, presumably—was tense, desperate, almost straining to keep control. His grip on her waist was tight, his movements erratic, almost sloppy. Meanwhile, the girl's fingers clawed at his back, her body arching, grinding, pressing closer as though urging him to go deeper into their embrace.
"Heh... Poor bastard," Ye Xuan thought, his incubus instincts flaring. His enhanced perception let him see everything.
Her slightly parted lips, slick with his kisses but still craving more.The tremble in her thighs, the suppressed frustration in her moans, the restless shifting of her hips...
She wasn't fully satisfied.
She wanted more.
More than he could give.
A notification flickered in Ye Xuan's vision.
[Incubus Aura (Lv. 1) Activated]Your presence subtly influences those around you. The weak-willed may feel an inexplicable attraction, an unshakable craving.
The effect was immediate.
The girl's moans hitched as she suddenly paused, her body stiffening. Her breath grew uneven as a shiver ran down her spine. Her fingers, once desperately clinging to her boyfriend's back, now loosened as she hesitated.
Her eyes fluttered open slightly—and met Ye Xuan's gaze.
For a brief second, she simply stared, her pupils dilating ever so slightly.
She was stirred.
She didn't know why, but something about his presence made her heartbeat race differently.
A deeper yearning. A primal curiosity.
Her boyfriend, completely unaware, kept kissing her neck sloppily, muttering sweet nothings.
But Ye Xuan could see it—her mind was drifting.
"Bingo," Wei Zhen laughed darkly. "She's hooked."
Ye Xuan smirked, stretching lazily before turning away.
"No rush," he thought, walking past them. "I'll be seeing her again."
As he disappeared down the path, he didn't need to look back to know it.
The girl was still staring after him.
A seed had been planted.
And soon, it would blossom into something far more dangerous.
