Ethan stretched his arms, feeling the muscles in his body flex with newfound strength. Everything felt different.
The weight of his body, the way his limbs moved—his entire being seemed enhanced in ways he couldn't quite describe.
As he clenched and unclenched his fists, he marveled at how effortless it felt. He wasn't bulky, but every motion carried a sense of precision and power he had never experienced before.
His mind still reeled from what had happened. A system? An Incubus Bloodline? None of this should be real, and yet, every fiber of his being screamed that it was.
'Alright, System, talk to me.'
Silence.
Ethan frowned. 'System? You still there?'
A soft, playful chuckle echoed in his head. [Of course, Master. I was just waiting for you to settle in.]
Ethan rolled his eyes. 'Great. Now tell me—how do I fully awaken my bloodline? If I have this power, I want to control it. I don't need any surprises.'
The system hummed, almost as if it was amused. [Oh, Master, if only it were that simple. If I unsealed everything at once, you would cease to exist. Your body, your mind, your very soul wouldn't be able to handle it.]
He stiffened. "What?"
[Your bloodline is far too powerful to awaken all at once. Think of it like fire—you can't just let it all loose at once, or it will consume you. Instead, you will unlock it piece by piece, gaining control over it as you grow stronger.]
Ethan ran a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply as he tried his best to calm himself down. 'So, what do I have to do?'
[Simple. Complete tasks. And with them, you will be able to strengthen your body, mind, and soul, which will be followed by your body being able to accept more of the bloodline.]
A soft chime sounded in his mind, and suddenly, a translucent screen appeared in front of him.
Spontaneous Tasking System Activated!
Current Task:
Adapting to Change – You are no longer the same. Test your new strength, speed, and senses to gain better control over your body. (0/1)
Ethan's eye twitched. 'You've got to be kidding me.'
The system giggled. [Oh, you'll find this rather exciting. Tasks will appear dynamically, responding to your actions and surroundings.]
As if to prove its point, another soft chime echoed in his mind.
New Task Generated!
Spontaneous Reaction – Your charm aura is always active. Observe how people react to you and attempt to suppress or control it. (0/1)
He rubbed his temples. 'And what exactly do I get from this?'
[Incubus Points and Incubus Coins]
Another chime. A second window appeared, showcasing something called the System Mall.

Ethan sighed. 'I don't have any points or coins yet.'
[That's why I'm giving you a freebie.]
A soft glow surrounded him, and a notification popped up.
Minor Aura Concealment Skill Acquired!
Ethan immediately felt a shift. It was subtle, but he could tell something had changed—like a dimmer switch being turned down on whatever natural allure his body now radiated.
He tested it, concentrating slightly, and could feel himself suppressing or allowing a tiny amount of that strange presence to slip through.
"Alright," he muttered. "I guess that's useful."
[See? I'm not so bad.]
He sighed, staring at the task list again. 'So, this is my life now?'
[You could ignore it, but then you'd be walking around with an uncontrollable charm aura. You'd be drawing in people whether you want to or not.
And let's be honest: Do you think that with the way this world works and the family you live in, normal life would be an option?]
Ethan's lips pressed into a thin line. She... is not wrong about that.
With a deep breath, he resigned himself to his new reality. "An incubus, huh? Guess I better get used to this…"
