Chapter 57 They Woke Up

The gorgeous purple hair that flutters as she descends from the stairs. The captivating face that looked as if she was sculpted. Her face is definitely the face of the person that Lyan had just saw not long before.

(Lilith!? But... She is totally different...) (Lyan)

All of her body moves gracefully, even the smile on her face is as graceful, befitting the title of a queen. Lyan could not find the lasciviousness and flirtatious personality that she usually shows as the spirit of chaos.

(And somehow, that white dress fits her rather well... So Lilith is... The queen...?) (Lyan)

Suddenly, a big blue screen appeared before Lyan.

[The duration of the first entry has over]

(Time's up, huh...) (Lyan)

*Whoosh!*

As if a circuit breaker on an apartment got flipped to off, Lyan's surroundings suddenly changed into pitch-black.

(Eh? Shouldn't I be back in the real world by now?) (Lyan)

Suddenly-

*Whoosh!!!!*

Powerful winds appeared from the surroundings, startling Lyan and forcing him to close his eyes.

"W-What is... This...?" Lyan uttered as the shocking sight entered his vision when he opened his eyes back.

"This is the castle...?" (Lyan)

The walls had gotten completely broken, everything burned, the castle got fallen into ruin, and the buildings of the capital are all destroyed as well. Corpses and pools of blood could be seen everywhere. The scene is very familiar to the scenes that Lyan usually saw in the demon world when he was an Incubus.

*Growl!*

Lyan shifted his gaze towards the direction of the source of the sound, and saw a disgustingly familiar silhouette of a beast.

"What are you doing here, beast...?" Lyan gripped the handle of the sword on his waist tightly as the veins on his hands bulged, showing his rage.

But suddenly, another silhouette passed through Lyan and stopped right in front of him.

"Eh?" (Lyan)

A man clad in black. Opening his arms wide as if he's welcoming the beast to east him, he let out a sinister laugh as he watched the scene.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Magnificent! Magnificent!! May the grace of the god befalls this world!!!!!" The man shouted heartfully.

Hearing those words, Lyan immediately realizes who is the real cause of the destruction.

*Whoosh!*

Swiftly, Lyan attempted to behead the man's head with his sword, but the sensation of his attack being connected to his target couldn't be felt.

(As I thought... I'm currently invisible, huh...) (Lyan)

"HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!" The man continues to laugh heartfully like a mad man.

Lyan stared at the man with a pair of cold eyes.

His eyes are filled with madness, as if there is nothing but his faith could be seen in those eyes. There is a tattoo on his wrist. The tattoo of a skeleton with a pair of horns on top of its head.

"Believer of the evil god, huh... To think that there are people like that in this world..." (Lyan)

Lyan organized his breath and calm himself down. And suddenly, once again, the circuit breaker of the world flipped, making the whole surroundings pitch black.

But this time, Lyan could feel his consciousness being drawn as well. Rather than being drawn to the deep part of a sea, it felt like he was getting pulled out of the sea.

*****************************************

!!!

Lilith and Lyan wake up at the same moment. As expected, they fell asleep right after they finished their last round. Lilith is lying on top of Lyan with Lyan's thing still inside her cave.

Looking at the pair of sad eyes in front of him, Lyan widens his eyes.

"Lil-" (Lyan)

Lilith suddenly hugs Lyan tightly, burying his face in her chest. Her body is slightly trembling, and her heart is beating furiously.

"Lilith. It's fine," This time, Lyan called Lilith with a softer and gentler voice as he caress her back.

Gradually, the trembling stopped, and Lilith let Lyan go of her embrace. Looking at the pair of scarlet eyes of hers, Lyan asked her gently.

"Did you see my past?" (Lyan)

"Nn..." Lilith answered with a nod.

"You can tell me slowly. What did you see?" (Lyan)

With his palm gently caressing her back, the soft touch and the warmth of his hand calmed her down.

Lilith explained what she saw from the beginning to the end. How she arrived at the world of memories at the Succubus and Incubus village that had fallen to ruin, how she saw the beasts of the abyss, how she met the past Lyan, and how she got escorted to his base.

And how she heard the terrifying roar of the evil dragon god.

"I see. It must be a very terrifying experience to feel firsthand. I'm glad my other self immediately sent you back," (Lyan)

"I was surprised, you know!? Those cold eyes suddenly turn into your current eyes! And how did that version of master could send me back anyway!?" (Lilith)

"I doubt he really knows how to send you back. I suppose that he only put you into a deep sleep similar to a coma. Since in this case, it's more like a dream, he must have assumed that falling into a state similar to death will wake you up," (Lyan)

"I see... By the way, master. You really are experienced with women, aren't you?" Lilith said with a small pout. What she meant is how he easily comfort her and made her stop trembling.

"Am I? I'm just a naturally warm-hearted guy, that's all," (Lyan)

"And your thing is still rock hard inside me. What a pervert. Do you have limitless stamina? My body still feels heavy and exhausted, by the way, but you're keeping on rubbing the walls. Don't move too much, okay? It'll make me lose my mind because of the pleasure. But don't let it out yet either," (Lilith)

"As you wish, my queen," (Lyan)

"My queen? Ah... Did the grimoire... Showed you my past as well?" Asked Lilith as she buried her face in his chest.

"Yeah. But honestly, I still didn't know anything yet. My entry to the world of memories is different from what you experienced," (Lyan)

This time, Lyan explained about what happened from his side.

"You became a guard!? Pfft! What with that role-playing game-like setting? But I see... So you have to prevent my death, huh..." Lilith's face darkens for a moment, but she swiftly hides it with a smile.

"Of course, I have no intentions of asking you how you died," (Lyan)

"Eh? You don't?" (Lilith)

"Yeah. Games are more interesting if you play without reading or hearing the walkthroughs, after all. I'll be saving you even without you telling me how you died, your majesty the queen," Lyan rustled Lilith's purple hair as he let out a chuckle.

"Is that so...?" Lilith once again buried her face in his chest, but even without looking at her, Lyan knew that there is a smile imprinted on her face right now.

Suddenly, a big blue screen appeared in the middle of them.

[The allowed duration inside the Grimoire's Space has run out. Summoning the host back to the original world]

"Ah... It looks like we run out of time," (Lyan)

"Yeah. What a shame. Even though I'm starting to get addicted to your thing inside me," (Lilith)

Black and purple particles started to gather around Lyan's body.

*Kiss*

Lilith pecked Lyan's lips and made a flirtatious smile.

"That was amazing. Maybe we could do it more frequently. It's no matter whether we do it on this side or in the real world. Let's do it again, okay?" Lilith winked flirtatiously.

"Gladly," (Lyan)

*Whoosh!*

Lyan got summoned back to the room of his inn.

"Ah... I left my clothes there, didn't I?" Lyan said as he's naked from head to toes.

(Ah. I wonder if I can immediately use my clothes by summoning them right into my body) (Lyan)

With his thought, Lyan summoned his clothes right to his body, intending to use them immediately, and-

"It worked!" (Lyan)

The clothes appeared right on his body, equipping them to him immediately without having him to wear them manually.

"Now, it's time to check on the grimoire, *Snap!*" Lyan snapped his fingers, summoning the summoning grimoire in front of him.

*Flip!* *Flip!*

Lyan checked the pages within the summoning grimoire.

"Seems like there are more pages filled now..." (Lyan)

[Gate: World of Memories

The gate of soul that allowed the host to enter the world of memories of one of the available targets. The world of memories has its rules and rewards that could bring benefits to the host. Available targets:

-Lilith Nyx Shyama (44 Hours Left)]

"This is the world of memories page, huh..." Lyan continue to browse through the grimoire, and saw that there are some changes on the pages of his summonable monsters.

There are now health bars and levels on their description, showing how high their level is and the approximation of their health. But unlike before, Lyan realized that there is no 'Evidence of Love' appeared from their lovemaking. Maybe that feature didn't include the contracted spirits on it.

Lyan went to the cover of the [Summon] section, and the black bar caught his attention.

(T-The black bars are increasing while it looks like it's burning with black flames!) (Lyan)

The bar slowly got completely filled by the burning black color that even overflows outside the bar, and-

<The summoning energy has been filled, dense mana of chaos has been detected, summoning a random monster of chaos for the host>

Again, a sound of roulette wheel spinning appeared, and-

*Ding Dong!*

[You got [Rare] monster]

"Whoa! Rare!" (Lyan)

<Summoning a rare monster for the host>

*Whoosh!*

The black grimoire opened a certain blank page and started filed itself with black and red particles.

[Deadlight

A living death that is born from a dense amount of elemental mana and mana of death. They are usually born from the corpses of great magicians and wizards that possess powerful regrets about their life, bringing forth a skeletal lord with powerful magic.

Their giant claws are weapons and staff at the same time. Powerful magic could be used from those claws that act as a powerful magic medium. The deadlight is capable of raising corpses and forcing them to be his servant. His voice could disturb or even devours the soul of the living, and his gaze could petrify even a gallant lion.

Health: 100%/100%

Status: Healthy

Attribute: Death/Soul/Demonic

Mood: Pleased]

(It looks strong! I wanted to check his strength immediately, but I guess it's time to check on the girls) (Lyan)
