Chapter 22: Relieved of a burden named Past


    Sitting alone, Nik reminisced his life till now. Son of one of the most prestigious harlot meant that the obese and ugly looking merchants, with nothing redeemable to their name other than their money, slowly became a daily part of his life as his mother entertained them all.


    But, as life dictates, all good things muste to an end. Even though Nik''s mother didn''t enjoy the nights passed with miserable men with nothing but money, she still felt fortunate.


    With her services, she could provide for her own son, had a roof over their head and a sustainable source of ie.


    But, age caught up to her.


    Her stamina fell, her structure started to lose its charm and finally, under depression, an illiterate harlot with nothing but her own beauty as the only source of attraction soon found her sce in the loving and gentle embrace of death.


    But it was toote.


    With the life Nik had already lived till that point, shedding tears for his mother''s loss was utterly useless.


    So he didn''t.


    On the day his mother got cremated alongside other fortunate souls that also happened to take their lives in the same week, Nik found himself pleasing a middle-aged obese woman.


    Just like his mother''s previous suitors, this customer of Nik had nothing desirable. Even her holes felt disgusting.


    All changed until Nik decided to finally escape the district due to a simple rumour.


    Incubus Society.


    Of course, in the end, he met with an ident and got killed only to experience a miracle.

    Affiliation Initiation Quest:


    Turn the first female your eyes fall upon into your partner.


    Commencing transfer. The host will feel a bit of pain as all the basic knowledge about the system will be imprinted within your consciousness for efficiency''s sake.]


    With those words on the screen, the resurrected Nik felt his mind go nk due to all the technicalities being imprinted within his consciousness and he felt his vision turn dark before falling on a beautiful, healthy woman that turned out to be Megumi Amano.


    ***


    "System, initiate use 256-B."


    Sighing deeply, Nik whispered as the holographic screen spread across his vision dutifully.


    [Host 567893 aka Nik Faran. Do you wish to change your base from 6772 of ne XVB to 000111838 of ne CHJ?


    Note that this use can only be invoked one time. With the initiation of the use, the host will lose its right to choose and will be forced to take part in various Intra-System events.


    Continue?"


    ''What the hell are you doing? Kid!''


    Before Nik could whisper the word continue, a violet sh emerged from his chest before Nik found his surroundings change.


    No longer his butt snuggled against the couch as he fell on cold, hard, violet floors as his eyes immediately fell upon the three huge statues in front of him.


    While the left and middle one remained dull and grey, the right one shed burst of violet continuously.


    Strangely, Nik simply couldn''t see the structure of the left and the middle statute. An elusive haze shrouded the two statues while Nik simply couldn''t gaze upon the right one due to the piercing light.


    "What the hell? Just for some girls, you are willing to make this your base of system transfers?


    Tell me, an admirer of incubi, have you gone mad?


    Is their flesh so desirable that you are willing to make such a damnable mistake? Not to mention your action of impregnating one of the little kids, you actually dare harm the reputation of the Incubus Society by settling for such trashes?


    Nik''s unimpressed gaze quickly morphed into a cold one. Not a single word escaped his lips because of a certain pressure keeping his body out of his own control. While Nik''s expression remained the same, the change in his gaze didn''t go unnoticed by the strange, deep voice.


    "Angered because I called your women trash? Good!


    At least, you have some bearings of an incubus. But nheless, you have grown to be a disappointment."


    Turning silent for a moment, Nik felt the strange pressure disappearing before the voice continued.


    "As the remaining member of the society, other than you, I shall give you a chance to exin yourself. Disappoint me once again, and your only choice is to forfeit your title as a host. Surprise me, and the talent you receive after your assessment will be nothing but heavenly."


    Silently, Nik observed the remaining two shrouded statues for a moment before finally speaking out.


    "The three pirs of rumoured Hell. Subus, Fiend and Incubus. You must be the surviving consciousness of the Incubus Creator Nirdai El Chodhar, right?"


    The voice spoke up, it''s tone finally a bit softer.


    "To analyse my true origins. You are definitely sensible. Now, exin. Why such a sensible Incubus Intern would make such a disastrous decision?"


    Finally standing, Nik inhaled loudly and exhaled deeply.


    "Excuse my impudence, but, before I answer, I must ask the reason for the downfall of the Incubus and the Subus Society. Through the system, it is easy to find that the Fiend Society is still intact, thriving even.


    Then why?"


    "Pettiness."


    The voice replied, almost snapping.


    "No matter how wise and sagely a being bes. When ites to carnal desire, all living bes hypocritical.


    Not to mention that our light-hearted pranks grew ire of many. An inevitable war lead to the decline of our ranks. Is your curiosity satiated?"


    Nodding, Nik didn''t need to ask what those ''light-hearted pranks'' could be.


    "The reason for my actions is to differentiate and grow."


    "Differentiate and grow?"


    The voice asked once more.


    "Yes. My past lead me to make such a decision. To break free from the restriction of my past, to have my consciousness remain free from any baseless vengeance, it is a must that I be a father myself.


    What I couldn''t have, due to time, I must give. Though women, treasures, mnemonics and even experiences can be snatched back. Genuine emotions cannot."


    Pausing for a moment, Nik suddenly looked up and smiled.


    "Oh, yes, next time, if you wish to question me, keep your honoured self on a leash, lest, you end up getting cursed by your junior."


    Silence reigned at Nik''s words before Nirdai''s words echoed.


    "True enough. Though mere consciousness, I shouldn''t let myself disgrace my own name by insulting those of inferior origins. Next, shall we discuss the main reason we called you here for?"


    With a dignified tone, Nirdai continued.


    "As an official intern of the Incubus Society, you are allowed to attain a single drop of incubus essence blood that would transform your bloodline and physique while allow6you to have an appropriate talent.


    But, you shall not be able to walk the bloodline path of the incubus for all the known evolutions have been gically locked by the source itself.


    For this, heed my advice, you will have to continue forth the path of the system to find the answer and revive the society. Now, we shall meet when you unlock your skills."


    Before Nik was given a chance to retort, he felt a slight sting on his chest as his vision turned dizzy all of a sudden.


    ***


    [Continue?]


    "Yes..."


    Nik whispered through gritted teeth as he felt his whole body on fire before losing all the heat and plunging into the nine hells of the blizzard.


    The situation only remained for a few seconds as Nik found his rash breathing growing gentler.


    Not wasting a single moment, Nik immediately opened the system.

    [Notice: Due to the initiation of use 256-B, the host is now considered to be in a home environment. In three days, the host shall go through another quest to prove it''s worth.


    Notice: The Incubus Society has requested the system to activate the talent of the host prior to the initiation of the quest of survival.


    The system has epted the request on the condition that the host''s talent will awaken only after starting the quest.]


    Seeing this, Nik heaved a huge sigh of relief.


    Letting go of past hatred wasn''t easy for him. Though Nik said that he didn''t hate his father, it was only through his words. But only now did he prove his words using his actions.


    After all, there is less than 0.000001% chance to stumble back to his own homeworld before he is sufficiently powerful. He did wish to take revenge upon the redlight district by destroying it.


    But deep down, he knew that the district itself raised him. There is nothing wrong with the concept of using s.e.x as a means of trading. In fact, aside from some disgusting customers, Nik did lead a good life in the district.


    Shaking these troubling thoughts by finally understanding that he will be here for his own child, Nik showed a smile of relief beforeying on the couch and closing his eyes.


    Somehow, he just felt too tired and relieved.


    Tired that he didn''t know the future. Relieved that he was determined enough to not live in the past anymore.
