  Titles:[World Traveler - Hidden Title][in of Succubi - Hidden Title][Notifications Pending - 3]

  Hmm, odd I remember seeing a bunch of [New] tags all over the pce when I briefly ope before. I guess that went away after the st time I ope, probably reports ges between status checks. Well, it looks like it’s firmed, I am officially a succubus like I suspected. Level fifteen too, I wonder how that happened. I looked at my stat spread, those look like base stats to me but it seems rather odd that there are only four. Even if the stats were restricted to those four they seem like odd choices.

  I looked at Charisma, “I wonder how it works in the text of a real world?” Ohe thought crossed my mind the information came to me and I could ‘read’ it with my mind’s eye.

  Charisma - StatisticCharisma influehe ability to persuade, intimidate, seduce, and generally influeher people using only their words. As Charisma increases more magic bees iwined with your messages. Higher Charisma makes speeches more inspiring, seduore effective, and misdireore believable. Effects of Charisma are resisted by Will.

  “Will? I don’t have a will statistic.” I focused on the ‘word’ Will in my mind’s eye and a new description popped up.

  Will - StatisticStatistic locked - Unlock ditio a mental effect

  Locked stats? Wait, this is kind of a double edged sword. This means that not only are there potentially lots of different stats but maybe not everyone will have all of the same ones. other people choose to allocate stat points like I ? Maybe you only get stats that bee relevant to you, that would make it hard to prepare for things without prior iment.

  Shit, I don’t have enough information. I don’t know what’s true for me and what’s true for others. I wonder how much I probe for more stats. I tried to think about one I was fairly fident would exist, Dexterity. I tried to focus on it the same way I focused on Will but it didn’t work. It felt like there was nothing to tto. Though maybe I didn’t choose the right stat. I focused on Vitality .

  Vitality - StatisticVitality influences your health and endurance. As Vitality increases more magic reinforces the body. Higher Vitality will allow the user to run for longer periods, tire out due to strenuous activity less easily, take more damage before being rendered unscious or dead, a the effects of venom, poisons, toxins, and disease.

  Of my currently avaible stats this one seems the most immediately useful. I haven’t seen a hit point bar anywhere but this unambiguously says it allows me to take more damage so iing some of my points in it makes me feel a bit safer. I’ve never been the kind of person to py gss ons in video games after all. With just a thought, 90 points subtracted from my unallocated stat and added itself to my Vitality stat, giving me an even 100 Vitality. The number feels a little arbitrary but I have no frame of reference for anythi. For now lets keep moving. Maybe before I go further I should see what these notifications are.

  [Haggling Lv.1 unlocked - Successfully brought the price down of a good]

  Straight forward, but good to know you unlock skills the same way as stats.

  [Vaginal virginity lost through sensual sex][Irait Karmice created][Irait Karmic Awareness created][+20 Karmiergy][Level increases by 2]

  Well… That’s iing. I suppose I am a succubus so it makes sehat I might have skills reted tinity, even if it seems really silly. Let’s see what Karmibsp;is.

  [Karmice - Innate Ability]Through luck or skill you have defied your nature as a demon and seduced someoo taking yinal virginity sensually rather than by force. Due to your nature, whatever it may be, your luck is improved by the magnitude of your karma, positive ative. Current bonus - 79 Luck

  Well, it seems like this status system, whatever it is, doesn’t seem to think highly of demoher. Wow though, seventy-six luck seems like a lot pared to my base stats. It looks like the number o my base value is my total. Iingly, the ‘karma’ of this world seems to be based on my own superstitious sense ht and wrong rather than the religious version from my other world.

  [Karmic Awareness - Innate Ability]You have learned an ability that affects the fate of you and others. Because of this you are now able to judge the strength and magnitude of karma.

  Pretty simple I would say. Let’s see the notification.

  [First penile virginity taken was through sensual sex][Innate Ability Karmic Resonance created][Bonus: Effect of Karmic Resonance doubled faining skill with user’s vaginal virginity][Sexual appetite increases by 1][+20 Karmiergy][Level increases by 2]

  This one isn’t surprising, sorry Bruno, but it is iing that I get skills and Karmiergy from other people’s virginity as well. Also, just like a succubus to level up from fug haha.

  [Karmic Resonance - Innate Ability]Iional or not the first penile virginity you took was sensual rather than by force or coer, a feat rare for a demon. Due to this, the first time you sensually take any partner with positive karma, their entire karma pool is duplicated and added to your karmiergy pool.

  It seems the system is putting a lot of emphasis on me having sensual sex rather than raping people willy-nilly. That’s good for me si seems like it’s trying to reward the behavior I would dardless. It makes me worry more and more about my status as a demon though. Let me look at that thing by my race.

  [Race hidden - Dispyed as Beastkin (Sheep)]Demons have gaihe ability to hide among the other races by taking on the appearance of others unless iionally revealing themselves. Race will be dispyed as Beastkin (Sheep) by anything cheg user’s status, though it will not hide any other clues to the user’s true identity.

  Well, at least it won’t be broadcast to others if someone else checks me out. Though I should be careful of others seeing through me like Bruno did whee diogether. The first few traits look pretty self expnatory so I skipped over them. Lets see what sexual appetite is.

  [Sexual Appetite - Racial Trait]Succubi appetites are different from that of most other creatures. Rather thaing on flesh and pnts they instead gain sustenance from lust aspect magic siphoned from pleasure during sexual enters. Feeding on this source doesn’t harm the sexual partner. Starving succubi will find it harder to process information, make rational decisions, and think about anything other than sex and masturbation. Level of Sexual Appetite is increased by taking new partners and higher levels of Sexual Appetite increases the time before faculties are impaired due to hunger. Succubi are uo starve to death but will eventually be forced to masturbate stantly until they find a sexual parto sate their hunger. Regur food be eaten but will not affect sustenanless high in magitent. Colleg sustehrough sexual as removes the potency from sexual fluids unless iionally trying to bee pregnant.

  So this oually expins some things for me. No wonder I was horny all the time, I literally haden anything until earlier tonight. This one clearly has its upsides and it’s downsides. Surviving purely on sex means I don’t o spend time or money on food unless I want to enjoy it. The downside is that it makes me pletely dependant on others and it isn’t clear if there are any diminishiurns fur sex partners. It also greatly iivizes me to take as many new sex partners as possible to increase my ability to stave off the hunger. At least it doesn’t harm the sex parthat would be a problem.

  I finally got to the one I’ve been dreading. I’ve been putting off reading it, finding out what happened made awist in my stomach but I knew I couldn’t run from it any longer.

  [Soul Collector - Racial Trait]Demons gain strength from taking the souls of others. Colleg souls from other sapient creatures increases a demon’s level based orength and quality of the soul as well as the circumsta was taken uhe fate of the creature left without a soul depends oentions of the host. When making deals and bargains involving a soul the demon is uo lie or misrepresent the terms of the tract, demons are uo make tracts with people who are coerced into agreeing.

  Oh shit what have I done… A pit dropped in my stomach as I processed the information from this skill. I… give it back or something. How did this happen? How is Bruno okay without a soul? My chest tightened and all I could do is keep reading.

  [Soulbound panions - Racial Trait]When colleg a soul from ahrough tract, uhe demon removes the soul from the target, the target is transformed into the form best suited to serve their new master. If the demo provide guidance during this process the target will be transformed into their current ideal self and be empowered by this ge. The target retains their free will unless guided otherwise during the transformation process but their soul is permaly bound to serve and ot defy their master’s explicit orders. Soulbound panioain possession of their souls but are forever bound to their new master uhe terms of the tract.

  “Does that st line mean I just tell her-” My voice died before I was able to finish that thought. I could tell that I am pletely uo go bay promise t her with me. It was too te to undo that agreement, even if we haven’t left yet I have to take her with me, it’s now coded into my bones. Still… the fact that she retains her free will means that she could leave at any time. The agreement was that I never abandon her, if she decided to leave on her own she could, as long as I never explicitly ordered her to do anything. It sounds like her soul would still be bound to me in that case though.

  I’ll have to talk to her about this. This is too big a thing to not talk about it. The w also implies that she’s bound to me forever. I ’t even begin to uand the implications of that, I don’t know enough about this world. Or the afterlife for that matter. What happens wheh die? I o get off this train of thought. We’ll talk about it ter, we have to. For now, lets look at these titles.

  [World Traveler - Hidden Title]This bearer of this title es from another pne of existence. Whether through their own power or the powers of ahis is not their inal realm. The bearer of this title uand all spoken nguages of speakers with simir levels of intelligence. Hidden titles are only viewable by the bearer unless iionally revealed.

  Well, that’s pretty suct but it firms those memories of earth are real, fragmented as they may be. Probably. Being able to uand any nguage really makes my life a lot easier and definitely expins why I haven’t had any trouble of that kind. Thought it would be nice if I could read too. Anyway, let’s move on.

  [in of Succubi - Hidden Title]The bearer of this title is the in of all succubi and the first of its kind. The as and choices of this title bearer will guide how this race is shaped, perceived, and altered. Nothing is set in stone, your as will determihe fate of your new race. Innate abilities and racial traits will be granted and adapted to the in. Hidden titles are only viewable by the bearer unless iionally revealed.

  Fug what? The first Succubus!? But… the book! How does any of this make sense I don’t uand. I looked through all of my skills and traits again and the only thing that mentions succubi directly is [Sexual Hunger]. What about the Karma abilities? Does that mean every succubi will have those? Oh man, I think this means my aatter a lot and I’m already fug up… I ’t hahis right now.

  “[Zone of Silence]” I turn my head and see Mark Williamson, the swordsman from earlier, closing the door and log it behind him, her the tor the lock made any sound as if the video was muted.
