"A-ah..."
As my eyes slowly opened in response to the morning sun, I felt something warm resting on me.
My body felt more refreshed than it had ever been, but I could feel something... or rather, someone, on me—especially my chest.
The tickling sensation of hair, and the soft touch of skin made me wide awake within moments.
'O-oh... that happened...' As I saw Lilith's naked body resting peacefully on my chest, a nervous smile broke out of my lips.
'So, it wasn't just a dream.'
There were millions of thoughts running through my mind. It was difficult to pin any down, but merely seeing her very erotic body on top of me caused certain ideas to start forming again.
'I really popped my cherry. Wow...' It really hit home.
Many questions ran through my mind—like why Lilith did what she did. She suggested it, but... it wasn't like I refused.
'Did I take advantage of her? Or did she take advantage of me?'
I wasn't sure anymore. But, what I knew was the fact that I had the most amazing time last night.
'My body feels much better. My mind also feels so much clearer. It's like... I've been reborn!'
In a way, it was somewhat true. I was no longer a virgin—no, I had transcended to a much higher plane.
Not many could boast of such feat at seventeen years old... right?
'I really am the Hero!' A smile formed on my face as I gave my charming Hero smile, coupled with my signature wink.
I hadn't lost any of my charm.
'Hold up. Hold up. Shit! What have I done?!' My mind suddenly attacked me with a fee scenes from last night that made me cringe.
'I really broke character in front of her? Not just that, but I was pathetic as well. Damnit!'
I was indeed at my lowest then, but how could I have exposed such a side to someone in this world!
'Lilith shouldn't be able to tell anyone if I enforce it with my Master Authority. Plus, it's not like anyone will believe her over me. Still... the fact that she knows!' I covered my face in shame, feeling red all over.
It was very lame, what I did. I found it surprising that she wanted us to sleep together after seeing all that.
'But...' A smile formed on my face as I remembered every other beautiful memory from the previous night.
'... She said she won't leave me, no matter what.'
Despite being pathetic, weak and confused, Lilith stood by me and gave me the best thing she could—herself.
Even during our time together, she poured out her everything and ensured I didn't sink into despair or fear. Somehow, it made me.happy that she knew the true side of me.
I moved my hand and began rubbing Lilith's dark hair, watching how tender she looked as she slept.
No one would think such a girl was a vile and despicable opponent. To me, she looked... like a normal girl.
Ah, well, she had horns. But, from a certain angle, one could think of it as cosplay.
In any case, those things didn't matter any longer. Merely watching her caused my heart to be at rest. I felt like as long as she was with me... I wouldn't break under the pressure.
Crazy, right?
'She doesn't simply see me as a Hero. That's something.' I chuckled at the thought.
Unfortunately, my laughter was loud—enough to wake sleeping beauty from her cute slumber.
"Uuu..." Her eyes opened slowly, and her crimson irises were directly focused on me the moment they rose.
'A-ah... this is awkward.' My hand was still stroking her hair as she stared at me with her sleepy eyes.
Her face was expressionless, and the silence in the room was stifling. I felt like any sudden movement would cause the world to crumble in an instant.
I could do nothing but wait for the inevitable break of silence.
"Uuu... Master... Good Morning."
'T-that's quite an ordinary greeting. Maybe things are really cool...'
"Good Morning, Lilith. How are you today." I blurted out my own version of an ordinary greeting.
Perhaps if we continued like this, we would both forget that we were in each other's arms, naked, and on the same bed.
"Lilith's hole feels a bit sore. Master was too much for Lilith last night."
Just with that statement, the illusion of normalcy came crashing down!
"A-ah, is that so? Sorry about that. Haha..." An awkward smile leaked out as a bead of sweat dripped from my face.
"Hehe... Master is so cute. Master was cute last night as well. The feeling was... ecstatic." The Demon Girl licked her lips as her eyes narrowed slightly.
"A-ah..." My face was turning extra red.
Why wasn't my Skill working? At this rate, I would show how embarrassed I was.
"Master, was last night your first time?"
'Please... stop.' I was so flustered, I could die.
Lilith's seductive smile was yet to fade away. She truly was a Demon! The girl drew closer to me, having her two jugs dance around my body as she came even closer.
"Does Master want to do 'it' again?"
"S-stop it already! When did you start using such suggestive words. Haaaa..." I yelled in exasperation and embarrassment
'H-hold on...' I took a sharp look at Lilith and noticed something—something I hadn't noticed before now.
"Your Level is 60 now. How is that possible?"
"Hm?" The innocent Demon cocked her head, most likely not understanding how I drifted from the topic of sex to Levels.
"Your use of language... it's improved too. What's going on here? Is it because of the sex?"
My heart began thumping fast and my brain went to instant work.
'Something like this was never a development in the Original Novel. How is it possible that Lilith leveled up simply by having sex?'
Only Succubi could Level Up by having sexual relations with another, but that also meant that their partner would suffer a Level Down.
'T-then, does that mean....?!'
