Primordial Draconic Incubus With A Gourmet Chef System

As though understanding what its Host was thinking, the System said disdainfully, [Host, what Lily said is not lewd… at all. It is your mind that is lewd.]

Immediately after, it added, [Pervert!]

[How can you call me lewd when clearly you thought the same as me?] Lucian said with a roll of his eyes, then suddenly, his eyes narrowed dangerously, as he continued in a menacing tone, [Unless you can hear my thoughts…]

The System became silent, not agreeing or disagreeing with Lucian's sudden claim, It was put into a difficult position. If it agreed, to being able to hear Lucian's thoughts, then it was unknown how Lucian would react. At the very least, the System knew Lucian would not react positively to his thoughts being heard. However, if the System disagreed, it would be labeled a pervert.

And obviously, it was not a pervert!

'What a terrible slip-up.' The System thought to itself.

Without having to think too hard, the System said truthfully to Lucian, [Yes, I can hear the Host's thoughts. However, that is an ability I only recently acquired after the forced System Update.]

[Can you turn the ability off?] Lucian asked in a tone that gave no leeway to the System.

Having his internal thoughts heard by someone was not a pleasant feeling.

<{Would you like to deactivate Mind Read?]>n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Before the System could speak, a System Notification appeared in Lucian's mind.

'At least, you are sensible compared to the System.' Lucian was pleased with the Soulless System compared to the System Spirit, which he did not even bother to name.

'...' The System was speechless and remained silent, understanding intruding upon one's thoughts would not be taken well by anyone.

[Yes, please deactivate it,' Lucian said after a moment.

<{Deactivating ability to hear the Host's thoughts.}>

<{Mind Read has been deactivated.}>

Although Lucian was unsure if he could trust the System Notifications, he still felt a wave of relief wash over him. No one would like their thoughts heard.

Soon, Lucian went back to trying to wake up Lily. Shaking her shoulder, he called out, "Lily, wake up!"

"No more! Lily's stomach can't take any more of Big Brother Lucian's food!" Lily continued to mumble in her sleep while a bit of drool leaked from her rosy pink lips.

After hearing Lily's words, the System felt justified. Therefore, it quickly bragged, [The System was right!]

However, Lucian ignored the System and enveloped his pointer finger in Mana before lightly tickling her neck.

Immediately after, Lily's body trembled, and her eyelids slowly fluttered open.

"Hehehe~! Stop it, Big Brother Lucian~! Lily can't take it anymore~!" Lily said cutely, as she wiggled while trying to escape.

Once Lily was awake, Lucian stopped tickling her and stood up.

As for Lily, she cutely rubbed her eyes, then blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the darkness.

Soon, the figure of a man, who looked no older than eighteen, appeared in her sight, his appearance became clearer the more her eyes adjusted to the darkness.

Messy, unkempt white hair with hints of silver framed an unequaled handsome face. Dark purple vertical pupils, with black tendrils of smoke seeping from his sockets, complemented his sharp, chiseled jawline. The man exuded a natural indifference and coldness, while his body radiated shimmering multicored starlight.

"Bi-Big Brother Lucian… i-is that really you!?"

Lily's eyes widened in shock. She had never seen such a handsome man in her entire life. For some unknown reason, she was even willing to bet her life that there was no other man more handsome than him in all of existence.

If not for his strangely beautiful eyes and familiar voice, Lily would have mistaken him for someone else entirely.

*Ba-dum*

*Ba-dum*

*Ba-dum*

The longer Lily looked at Lucian's appearance, the faster her little heartbeat. Soon, with great reluctance, she managed to peel her eyes away from him. Though, the moment she did so, her heart felt a slight ache, which confused her.

However, even though Lily looked away, Lucian's appearance was forever imprinted in her mind and heart. Even after a few seconds, she could not remove the image from her mind.

As for Lucian, he smiled wryly at Lily's reaction to his true appearance. However, her reaction was only natural. He was just too handsome, especially since, he was now a Primordial Draconic Incubus, who had also absorbed two Star Fragments.

He was a walking, breathing aphrodisiac that could even make a rock fall head over heels for him.

'Haah, sometimes being too handsome is a sin.' Lucian narcissistically thought to himself. Your journey continues on empire

After a moment, Lucian finally answered Lily's question, "This is my real appearance. The appearance you saw before was merely a disguise."

Lily unconsciously nodded with a fierce blush on her cheeks, still not daring to look at him.

*Sniff*

Suddenly, tendrils of a familiar calming aroma wafted into Lily's nose, relaxing her body, mind, and heart.

'... Is that jasmine?' Lily dazedly wondered as she actively sniffed the fragrance.

A few seconds later, Lily was finally able to regain her composure; however, she still did not dare to look at Lucian, fearing she would embarrass herself. Instead, for the first time, she looked at her surroundings, only to be met with pitch-black darkness.

"Big Brother Lucian, where are we? And why are we here?" Lily tilted her head, still not daring to look at Lucian.

Lucian inwardly chuckled and explained, "Our Souls have been brought to a Dimension belonging to a Mage. That is why you can see my real appearance. Although the physical body can be altered, the Soul can never be changed."

'Unless you are as powerful as the creator of the System, who can apparently fuse Souls .' Lucian added inwardly.

Lily's pretty eyes sparkled with awe and admiration at Lucian's explanation. She never thought her question, which was aimed at trying to remove the awkward atmosphere, would be answered.

After a moment of silence, Lucian continued, "As for why we are here, it should be related to the blood from the Titan Drunken Blood Monkey. Otherwise, our Souls would have been brought here earlier when we ate a piece of the steak."

*ROAR*

As if waiting for that exact moment, a monstrous roar, similar in sound, yet even more powerful and ancient than the Titan Drunken Blood Monkey, resounded within the Dimension. And with the roar, the darkness rolled in waves like the tides of the ocean before disappearing.

After the darkness disappeared, they found themselves floating in space, surrounded by stars.

However, within the space, eclipsing even the stars in sheer size, sat a towering figure that caught Lily's attention.

As her eyes met the towering creature, fear filled her entire body, her hair stood up straight, and sweat drenched her trembling body.

"KYAAA~ B-Bi-Big BROTHER LUCIAN!!!!" Lily screamed in absolute dread and instinctively leaped into Lucian's embrace, as though believing he could protect her.

'…'

Meanwhile, Lucian was confused as Lily hugged him like a koala. Instinctively, he wrapped his arm around her waist and patted her head, while ignoring the two small meat buns squished against his chest.

[Wow, smooth!] The System praised Lucian upon seeing their relationship suddenly increased from acquaintances to even hugging each other like lovers.

Ignoring the System, Lucian focused his attention on Lily, who was trembling in his arms with her eyes tightly shut.

"Lily, don't wor-" Lucian stopped mid-sentence as his eyes landed on what he presumed to be the cause of Lily's fright.

In the distance, where even the stars were the size of mere pebbles sat an incomprehensibly gigantic monkey. It had golden pupils with red sclera that were many times larger than the pebble-sized planets surrounding it. Its massive body was covered in shimmering golden fur, with the tips glowing pure red.

Long, muscular arms rested on its knees, its fingers and toes tipped with sharp, blood-red claws. Behind its broad, muscular back, a golden furred, red tipped tail extended into the distance like a gigantic Dragon. Around its neck hung a necklace made of ten enormous, luminescent white pears, each one even bigger than its eyes.

However, despite the monkey's massive size, Lucian indifferently stared into its eyes.

With his eyes staring into the monkey's eyes, Lucian asked the System, [What do you think, is this monkey an Immortal or a God?]

[The System is too low-Ranked to analyze anything above Mana God Realm.] The System answered.

Lucian silently nodded. Unfortunately, even with his eons of knowledge and once even being the strongest Ancestral God in the Celeste Universe, he could not figure out how strong the monkey was.

Mortal Mana, Immortal Mana, and Divine Mana were all intrinsically different.

Therefore, Mortals could not sense an Immortal's Rank, similarly, an Immortal could not sense a God's Rank. However, a God could sense the Ranks of Immortals and Mortals. Whereas, Immortals could only sense the Rank of Mortals.

Suddenly, the monkey opened its enormous mouth, showing its razor-sharp teeth.

"HOW DARE YOU MAKE MY SON INTO THAT ABOMINATION, MORTAL!?" The monkey questioned, its voice causing space to tremble and stars to plummet.
