The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 14

Rabbitman

<< Devil, some of the Eggs are hatching! >>

When Velke and I rushed to the Fountain of Life, we found that the shells had already begun to crack.

“Finally . . . it’s time . . !”

The Velluclesis eggs were hatching.

We watched breathlessly as the cracks spread across the shell, until finally the shell broke, and a small hand poked out. It was followed by another tiny hand and then the head. A beautiful baby boy looked up at us, with purple eyes that shined like jewels and fluffy blue hair.

“Ma . . . mama . . . mama!” The Velluclesis baby happily reached towards me.

Cute! It’s really too cute!

I picked him up and hugged him tight, and grinned when his long ears twitched.

“Look, Velke! It’s our baby!”

“Y-yes, it’s really . . . it’s truly my child!”

With tears in his eyes, Velke gently took the baby from me and kissed him on the cheek.

“P . . . pa, p-pa . . . papa! Papa!”

The child seemed to know that Velke was his father, and patted one tiny hand on his chin.

“I- I thank you from the bottom of my heart, my lord!”

He held the baby like he was the most important treasure in the world.

I felt warmth swell in my chest. Giving life like this, and bringing Velke happiness like this, was something only I could do.

Watching as Velke gently cooed at the baby, I felt a little proud to be the Demon King.

Leaving Velke with the newborn, I went to call the next monster.

Let’s see . . . “Rabbitfolk” sounded interesting. I imagined a cute little rabbit monster, and smiled to myself.

A while after calling the Rabbitman, a bipedal rabbit-like creature entered the castle and bowed to me. He must’ve been at least 160 cm . . . this isn’t what I pictured at all!

Before I could say anything, the Rabbitman hopped forward to stand beside me.

“I’m, uh, I am the Demon King.” I cleared my throat and introduced myself.

“Hewwo! My name is Cawwot! It’s vewy nice to meet you!”(1)

Carrot greeted me with sparkling eyes.

Okay, he’s pretty cute. It would be nice if he stuck around after this!

“If you swear your loyalty to me, I’ll give you a family.”

“Absowutwy! Cawwot will be woyal to you fow all time!”

Though he speaks a little strangely, he seems to understand what I mean.

I led him to the mating room and began to take off my clothes. When I embraced Carrot, it felt like I was hugging a stuffed toy. So soft . . . I wish I could stay right here forever!

“My lowd, you awe so cute!” Carrot held me tight and nuzzled my hair.

As we stumbled onto the bed, Carrot began to rub his erection against my thigh. I could almost smell his arousal. He took a moment to adjust, thrusting into my hip a few times before successfully mounting me.

“Aah!” I cried out in pain.

Carrot thrust wildly in and out of my unprepared entrance. Hey, he couldn’t be so low-leveled that he thought the same way as the Orc, right . . ? I broke into a cold sweat just thinking about it.

I could hear Carrot panting into my ear, his movements becoming faster as my entrance gradually relaxed.

“Aahn . . .”

I simply couldn’t keep up with his insane pace. When he thrust in, his soft fur brushed my skin, but he always pulled back out before I could enjoy the sensation. Just when I thought he couldn’t go any faster, Carrot’s tail twitched and he increased the intensity of his thrusts.

<< When mating, a Rabbitman is capable of inserting his genitals into his partner six times per second! >>

Thanks, System. That information is very useful right now.

The mating itself was relatively short, and Carrot sank deep inside me before finally cumming, shaking slightly as he did so.

I’m glad . . . it’s finally over . . .

Now, I can just relax into Carrot’s soft fur and stop worrying about everything else . . .

As I began to doze off, Carrot suddenly began to thrust violently again.

“W-wait a moment, aren’t you finished!?”

“My lowd . . . I wuv you!”

Seriously. It turned out that a Rabbitman’s libido was somewhat scary. Even when blood began to pour from my entrance from the excessive mating, or I kicked him away and tried to leave, I was snatched and mated with over and over again. We ended up mating for two days straight.

<< Congratulations! >>

+ 10「Fertility」

+ 30 Rabbitfolk Eggs

I absolutely refused to let Carrot stay in the Devil’s Castle after this. The fact that he would drop everything to chase me and try to mate with me whenever he saw me didn’t help. It was only when I managed to trick him into going outside that I locked the doors and finally got some peace and quiet.

Carrot speaks in a very cutesy way in the original text, and I tried to carry that over into English but . . . he basically speaks like Tweety Bird. I’m sorry.

OMG, MC, you can’t just lock people outside when you don’t like them! I laughed so hard translating that part . . . Incidentally, Carrot and the Orc are actually the same level, though Carrot’s arguably more gentle.

Finally! A little Velluclesis baby!! He’s so cute!! <3 I’m glad Velke finally got the family he’s wanted for so long.

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 13

Lizardman

<< Congratulations! You have leveled up! >>

+ 12 Levels

+ 40「Devil’s Command」

+ 45「Regeneration」

+ 50「Thought Interception」

+ 4 Red Dragon Eggs

<< After mating with the Red Dragon, you are now level 65! Your new「Thought Interception」skill will strengthen your「Soundless Voice」and「Demonic Voice」skills as well! >>

With my whole body sore and my swollen breasts throbbing in pain, the System’s cheerful voice was the last thing I wanted to hear. Alexius, who looked smug even in his sleep, was still holding me tight.

What kind of skill is「Thought Interception」anyway?

<< It allows you to read the minds of others regardless of their level, without the need for physical contact! However, it cannot be used on monsters with superior psychic abilities. >>

Oh, how convenient.

I tried using my new「Thought Interception」skill on the Red Dragon sleeping pleasantly beside me.

( ( I want to sleep, then eat, then sleep some more . . . ) )

Alexius . . . his thoughts are surprisingly simple.

Feeling a little excited, I got curious about Velke’s thoughts and decided to try and look into his mind. He was probably in the nursery right now, so I activated my skill in that direction.

( ( Food expenses this week totaled 30 copper coins and 2 silver coins . . . well, food expenses should be covered by the money left behind by my clan, but I need to spend it wisely . . . oh, I should set aside some money to cover clothing expenses soon, too . . . then, the budget for this month comes to a total of . . . ) )

Ah, my bad. I left all the accounting to you, Velke.

When I canceled my skill, I was filled with guilt. This skill, it’s definitely a double-edged sword. I’ll have to avoid using it on those close to me . . .

The next day, I decided to call a new monster. Since leaving my castle was a little scary, I wanted to call one that could come to me.

I decided to call upon a Lizardman.

After waiting a while, a tall hooded figure who looked a bit like a merchant came into the Devil’s Castle.

“Lord Devil, I have come at your command.”

The figure swept back his hood; revealing kind eyes, a noble expression, and the beautiful face of a . . . lizard. In fact, he was easily the most beautiful lizard I’d ever seen.

“I appreciate your swift arrival. I am the Demon King; will you follow me?”

“I will serve you until I decay.”

The Lizardman bowed deeply, sweeping his cloak back. His voice was deep and soothing . . . I like this one already!

“To reward your loyalty, I’ll give you a family.”

“What!? I . . . I thank you for your generosity!”

He bowed even deeper than before.

Hm. I always thought Lizardmen were the barbarian type, but this one seems to be a gentleman . . .

I led the Lizardman- who introduced himself as Chaos- to the mating room immediately.(1)

Chaos took off my clothing with utmost care.

“My lord, I am honored that you are entrusting me with your body.”

He knelt before me and kissed the arch of my foot. His trailed his lips over my ankle and up my leg, licking at my thigh with his forked tongue.

Chaos lavished my body with attention, making certain not to cause me pain. Cautiously caressing me, his hands wandered from my neck, to my nipples, then down my sides, pleasure spiking within me as he moved. He’d taken off his clothes, but when I glanced down there was nothing between his legs. I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to mate with him.

“My lord, if you could, would you please touch my lower belly?”

Prompted by his gentle voice, I slid my hand down the scales lining his soft underbelly. I’m not sure this is what he meant, but I tried stroking him there anyway.

“Ah, my lord, thank you . . . your generosity knows no bounds . . . you’re so small; though I want you, desperately, to ravage a body as delicate as yours would be unforgivable . . .”

I felt a thrill go up my spine when he spoke into my ear.

After stroking his underbelly for a while, I was surprised to see his genitals pop out of a slit between his scales.

Compared to Velke or Alexius, his was quite modest- two average-sized cocks peeked up at me.

Wait a second. That can’t be right. Why are there two!?

<< They are called hemipenes! Lizardfolk and other reptilian monsters can mate using both at once! >>

I really didn’t need to know that . . . I stared at them, swallowing hard.

“Oh, my lord . . .” Chaos gazed at me gently.

The sensation of his scaled body against mine was peculiar.

“Do you like it here? Or here? You’re sweet everywhere . . . oh, you’re irresistible. My lord, mating is often very painful for my kind, but I cannot bear to hurt you . . . trust me, I will be as gentle as I can . . .”

Painful, indeed; listening to his smooth voice, I felt painfully empty. His forked tongue licked at my lips before diving deeper, and he sighed into my mouth.

“Oh, my lord, you taste divine. Your little pink tongue is so pretty . . . will you stick it out for me when you cum? . . . I’m truly grateful to serve you, my beloved . . .” He slid his hand between my thighs, fingers brushing against my entrance. “Do you like it when I touch you here? I promise I’ll make you feel good.”

Listening to such romantic words being whispered in my ear, I’m so embarrassed I could faint.

<< This is called ‘dirty talk’! >>

I do not need an explanation!

“My lord, your body is so honest about your pleasure; it feels like you’re sucking my fingers in. Can you tell me how many are inside you right now?”

“T-two . . .”

“Yes, you’re such a good boy! Don’t be scared, I’m going to put in another one.”

“Uuhn!”

“Oh, I’m sorry- it’s alright, just breathe. You’ll get used to it straight away. Ah, just look at you . . . you’re dripping wet, beloved . . .”

The fingers that had slowly been stretching me open stopped moving, and he dragged his other hand up my thigh to wrap around my neglected erection.

As I was overwhelmed by pleasure, his fingers began to move again.

“Ah, my lord, are you ready? Though I know it is above my station, I want to enter you now.”

“Hahh!”

“Please, my lord, you must give me your permission.”

“Ah, I . . . I want you inside me, quickly!”

I’m so embarrassed. If I could, I’d like to crawl into a hole right now.

Without hesitating, Chaos pressed one of his cocks into my entrance.

“Hahh . . . you’re so tight, it’s like you’re a virgin . . . oh, it’s so wonderful to be inside you, my beloved . . .”

Even though it looked average before, now that it’s inside me it feels a lot bigger! However, Chaos still seems a little strained.

Could it be . . ?

“Do you . . . do you want to put in the other one?”

“Oh, you noticed my selfish desire . . . although I am already overjoyed to see you come undone, my lord, the one that cannot partake of your warmth has become . . . painful!”

. . . It’s too hard to reject Chaos when he looks at me like that!

I bit my lip and pulled my leg up against me, exposing my stuffed entrance to Chaos.

“It’s, ah, alright if you want to . . .”

Chaos sighed in delight.

“Oh, my lord . . . you are indeed beyond compare . . .”

The head of his second cock pressed heavily against my entrance. I almost thought it wouldn’t fit after all, but after a moment it popped inside to slide against the other.

“My lord . . . my lord . . . I can’t hold back any longer! Ah, I feel as though I will melt! This tightness, this sweetness; I have never tasted such pleasure!” Chaos cried out in joy.

When both his cocks sank to the hilt inside me, he paused. He seemed to be waiting for me to catch my breath.

“Oh, my little Devil . . . your body is flawless . . . ah, even if I were killed tomorrow, I would have no regrets . . .”

As Chaos rambled on, I desperately tried to relax, but the weight of his two cocks inside me was just too much.

Chaos ran his fingers through my hair and kissed all over my face, his forked tongue burning a hot trail up my neck. When I finally relaxed enough for him to move, he began to thrust in and out.

“Oh, my lord, my lord . . !”

“Hahh, ah, ah! Hahh, hah, ah . . .”

Every time he thrust inside me, his cocks pushed against each other and spread me even wider. When he slammed into my prostate, I couldn’t help but moan louder.

“You like it here? Please, let me hear more of your sweet voice . . .”

He aimed for my prostate with pinpoint accuracy, making me cum so hard I saw stars. Apparently, watching me pushed him over the edge, and soon the cum of both his cocks dripped lazily out of my entrance.

I was more relieved that I wouldn’t have to listen to his dirty talk anymore than I was about the end of the mating.

<< Congratulations! You have leveled up! >>

+ 1 Level

+ 30 Lizardfolk Eggs

<< You are now level 66! >>

While I was giving birth in the Fountain of Life, Velke and Chaos had been having a serious discussion.

“Thank you very much for giving me children, my lord. I would like to serve you as a guard here in your castle.”

Apparently, Chaos was a master swordsman among Lizardfolk. Somehow, he convinced Velke to let him stay in the castle.

Hey . . . does this mean I’ll have to listen to those sweet words of his all the time?

No way! I’m seriously going to die of embarrassment one of these days!

I’m not sure about the spelling of his name . . . I might come back and change it later.

Merry Christmas! 🎁🎁🎁 Here’s a new chapter for the occasion!

Aaah, I was blushing while translating all of Chaos’s dialogue . . . that guy’s pillow talk is off the charts! I’m glad the MC’s finally got another partner that actually respects him. I hope you all enjoy this chapter as much as I did!

The Unicorn Legion - Chapter 21

First Battle

As soon as the strange vines entered his range, Shelly waved his hand and jagged ice shot out of the rain-soaked ground. Although the magical construct was mostly a mix of Water and Earth element, it was vulnerable to cold. The vines that touched the ice writhed in pain, and the others carefully avoided it.

Julian also took aim, and fired dozens of bolts in quick succession. The vines were very thin, making it difficult to score a direct hit; still, several vines were successfully pinned.

Seeing that the vines were still approaching, Julian clumsily began to reload. Rosanna could hold twice as many bolts as the average crossbow, but by the time he’d finished reloading and looked up, the battle was already over. The burned vines lay dead on a patch of dry ground.

“Well done,” Rowenna patted Shelly’s head. “Although your innate Fire element is weak, it’s powerful enough to deal with opponents of this level.”

With the obstacle removed, the team slowly began to advance. Julian hurried to retrieve the bolts that could still be reused.

“You did well,” Ellen placed a hand on Julian’s shoulder. “Weapons like ours are better suited to larger targets. If we run into a creature like this again, you can let someone else handle it.”

“Thank you,” the dwarf mumbled, wiping mud off one of the bolts.

However, Julian stubbornly continued to attack every time they encountered another magical construct. Unfortunately, they were still in the outer area of the forest, where even the biggest monster, the Mud Turtle, could be held in one hand. Rosanna was considerably powerful, piercing the shell of the Mud Turtle easily, which cheered Julian up a little. However, with a flick of his hand, Shelly sent a wave of mud over the Mud Turtle, trapping it.

In order to reach the center of the forest, the group was running without taking any breaks. When Julian paused to catch his breath again, Ellen hardened his heart.

“Julian,” he said. “You’ve being doing well so far, but you need to take a break now. You’re pushing yourself too hard.”

“But, I . . .”

“Take a break. That’s an order.” Despite his harsh words, Ellen spoke gently. “We’re about to enter the mid-level area of the forest; there’s bound to opponents better suited to you there.”

“. . . Yes, sir.” Julian answered after a long pause.

Ellen could see that Julian’s mood wasn’t any better, and sighed quietly.

Still, Julian didn’t stop trying, and the team’s speed didn’t decrease. Shelly handled the stronger opponents with ease, becoming more and more confident.

Finally, they came upon a sign marked, “Apprentice Mages and Mid-Level Mages are Not Allowed Beyond This Point.”

“Ha!” Shelly grinned. “I might not be a real mage, but now I’m as strong as a mid-level mage, right?”

“Don’t get cocky. You’re only one third of the way through the forest.” Rowenna scolded him, but her voice sounded fond. “Besides, this is only the practical exam. There is also a personal examination and a theoretical exam.”

“Personal? Theoretical?”

“They’re written exams. You need to have a solid grasp on magical theory to pass the theoretical exam.”

“Uh-oh,” Shelly gulped. “Then . . . the personal exam?”

“To pass the personal exam you need proper form while casting spells, clear and precise incantations, and accurate aim with long distance spells. There is also a physical portion, to measure your running speed, your dexterity, your flexibility, and your skill in dodging oncoming attacks. They also measure your skill in melee, both hand-to-hand and with various weapons.”

“Mages also undergo a physical examination?” Cain interrupted, curious.

“. . . Of course.” Rowenna frowned. “What, did you think mages were fragile? How else are we supposed to fight when we’re alone or have no warriors in our party?”

“Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that . . .”

“It’s fine,” Rowenna turned away. “I’m used to such questions. Let’s go.”

She adjusted her robes and strode forward into the Mid-Level area of the forest. Cain grimaced at Ellen, and reluctantly followed her.

“Shelly, Julian, stay close to Cain and Rowenna. Don’t wander off.” Ellen instructed, then fell into place at the back of the group.

At first glance, except for heavier vegetation and less light, this area of the forest was no different than the outer area. However, the path began to twist confusingly, branching off into the dark forest as though it were trying to lead them astray. At the mouth of each new pathway was a colored will-o’-wisp.

“Usually, you would choose your route according to your preferred field of magic,” Rowenna explained. “But since we aren’t taking the exam, we’re taking the shortest route. In the past, there was a student who was lost for more than a week in this part of the forest. If you don’t want to repeat his mistake, be sure to follow me closely.”

After traveling for a while, the scenery began to change. The surrounding trees were no longer green, becoming withered and blackened. They grew further apart, the spaces between them wide and empty. There was a chill in the air, giving off the feeling of an unforgiving winter. The spring of the outside world had not reached this place.

“. . . This isn’t right.” Rowenna stopped, frowning. “Be careful, everyone.”

“If this is the work of a magical creature, it must’ve lived here for months,” said Ellen.

“It’s possible. There’s not many mid-level mages, so it was only discovered recently.”

As they went on, the path began to slope upwards. When it became so steep that they struggled to stay on their feet, an enormous snowball suddenly appeared and began to roll down the slope. Rowenna waved her hand and blasted it with Fire element. However, instead of melting, the snowball continued to roll towards them.

“Fall back; we just need to get out of its way!” At Ellen’s words, everyone threw themselves backwards, but they were too late, and the snowball was upon them in seconds.

Rowenna didn’t hesitate to fire off a few petrification spells to slow it down, but there was still no effect. She couldn’t bring herself to leave the safety of the path, knowing she wouldn’t be able to find her way back; however, without warning, the snowball bounced off the path. Cain reached out to yank Rowenna to the ground just in time; the snowball soared over their heads and hit a nearby tree. When it fell to the ground, the snow fell apart to reveal a vicious-looking bear with glowing blue eyes and ice-like fangs. Looking at them, it roared threateningly.

“Is that thing immune to magic?”

“. . . Yes,” Rowenna grit her teeth, pulling Shelly behind her.

“You might wanna let us handle this one, then,” Cain drew his sword and stepped forward.

“Use the trees to avoid it! Julian, don’t fire if it runs towards you, focus on getting away.”

As he spoke, Ellen fired an arrow that buried itself into the chest fur of the Ice Bear. Cain took advantage of the hit and swung his sword at the wound created by the arrow, scattering chunks of ice across the clearing.

The Ice Bear groaned in pain, but shook it off and rushed towards Cain.

“The hide’s pretty thick,” Cain commented, leaping out of the way. “That’s not good.”

He was right; this way, they couldn’t be sure their attacks would even connect.

The Ice Bear was actually quite agile, dodging their blows with ease and changing direction quickly. Running on the snow left behind by the snowball was difficult, but it obviously wasn’t a problem for the Ice Bear.

Considering the Ice Bear’s incredible defensive abilities, and the fact that they were confined to the path, this could prove to be a troublesome opponent.

I feel so bad for Julian! I hope he gets his chance to shine soon, too!

I’m with Cain on this one; those physical exams sound killer! Are all the mages in this kingdom super buff?!

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 12

Tentacles

Thanks to my improved「Perception」skill, the number of monsters I could detect increased, but now I had to decide which one to mate with first.

“My lord, what will you do today?”

“Umm . . . I guess I’ll mate with the weakest monster. I’ll call a Tentacle; it seems there are some in a nearby forest.”

Velke was struggling to feed a Dire Wolf pup as we spoke. His arms were covered in scratches. Did the puppy dislike Velke or something?

“It may be impossibly to call a Tentacle to you, my lord. They live deep in the forest, and never leave their territory.”

Sounds troublesome. How am I going to get there?

“Do you need a ride?” Alexius popped his head into the nursery.

Though he claimed to prefer traveling alone, Alexius often came back to visit Velke and I. Wait a second, just when did this guy get back into my castle!?

“Is that alright with you?”

“Sure! If I carry you, we’ll get there in no time!”

Velke didn’t look happy about it, but I left him to guard the Devil’s Castle while I rode on the Red Dragon into the dense forest.

The journey was pleasant, though it was surprisingly short. It seemed that Alexius was being careful and flew slower because he was carrying me. If Velke, who’s my guardian within the Devil’s Castle, is my right hand, then Alexius, who protects me outside the Devil’s Castle, could be considered my left hand. Being protected like this, it’s a nice feeling.

When we landed in the center of the forest, Alexius declared he was going to take a nap, and promptly fell asleep in his dragon form.

Using「Perception」I began to search for the Tentacles hidden deep in the forest.

Suddenly, I stepped on something that moved beneath my foot.

<< Devil! It is the Tentacle’s nest! >>

This area seemed much darker than the rest of the forest, and still, like the calm before the storm.

Apparently, I had stepped on a tentacle, and it slowly oozed out from under my foot.

Seriously . . . isn’t this just like a monster from an eroge!?

<< Tentacles feed by melting living creatures with secretions from their tentacles. All the females have died out, so these male Tentacles are the only surviving individuals in the area. >>

Those secretions sound terrifying! I tore off my clothes to prevent them from being melted.

<< Devil, you will be alright! The fluid secreted by Tentacles during mating will not melt your body, so you can rest assured! >>

Just to be sure, I activated my「Demonic Submission」skill (the Tentacle has a lower level than me, so it should work this time) and placed my hand on the rustling tentacles.

The Tentacle seemed to know that I was the Demon King. It began to stroke my cheek with one of its countless tentacles. How many tentacles did this thing have, anyway? They’re winding their way around my entire body.

A sickeningly sweet-smelling liquid began to drip from the tentacles.

<< This is the secretion that Tentacles use during mating! >>

The secretion is painted onto my body by the tentacles; it’s slimy, and smells kind of fruity. A tentacle gently pressed on my lips, and I opened my mouth without thinking. It tastes even sweeter than it smells, and I can swallow it easily. The sweetness melts in my mouth. It’s delicious! I wanted to swallow as much as I could.

<< This secretion is also a powerful aphrodisiac! >>

At the System’s words, I quickly tried to spit out the fluid in my mouth. An aphrodisiac!? Seriously!? What kind of perverted monster is this!?

<< Do not worry! The secretion used during mating is safe to consume! >>

The Tentacle poured its secretions down my throat, my cheeks bursting with the sweet fluid.

<< There are more than 50 Tentacles in this nest. Because they are all looking forward to mating with you, it is more convenient for you to be intoxicated by the aphrodisiac. >>

M-more than 50 . . ?

I wanted to run away immediately, but the tentacles wrapped around my body wouldn’t budge.

I was about to fight the longest battle of my life.

The tentacles clinging to my body were soaking wet with secretions. The feeling of them coating me with the fluids was like being licked all over. One tentacle wandered upwards and rubbed my nipple softly, while the others wrapped themselves around my hips and lifted me onto my back. Tentacles slithered around my legs and boldly spread my thighs.

I can’t tell if all these tentacles are coming from one monster or more, but what exactly are these Tentacles trying to do, touching me like this!? Countless tentacles are writhing all over my body.

The aphrodisiac fluid was spilling out of my mouth; I simply couldn’t swallow any more. My head was spinning. My body was slimy. More than anything, my entrance was painfully empty.

I . . . I want a tentacle to penetrate me, quickly . . ! Under the influence of the secretions, I was thinking things I would never usually think.

“Ah!”

A thin tentacle pressed inside me. It was approximately the width of two fingers, and slowly stretched my entrance. Secretions, thicker and gooier than the fluid in my mouth, burst out of the tentacle. Impatiently, a second tentacle pierced my entrance.

“Haah!” Tears rolled down my cheeks. With my thoughts muddled by the aphrodisiacs, pain became pleasure.

Three tentacles, four tentacles, the amount rapidly increased. They pumped in and out of me for what felt like an eternity. Soon, they broke through the membrane of my womb, gushing secretions everywhere.

While I enjoyed the intense pleasure of being pleasantly stuffed, they suddenly pulled out. Just as I registered the loss, a bulbous tentacle thicker than my arm emerged from the mass of tentacles. Instinctively, I knew that this was the Tentacle’s real dick. Frightened, I tried to get away from it.

Impossible, impossible! I can’t possibly let such a thing inside me!

I finally realized why the tentacles secreted aphrodisiacs; it’s so that the female Tentacle won’t feel the pain of the male Tentacle penetrating her!

I struggled as fiercely as I could, but the Tentacle was too strong.

The Tentacle’s cock pressed against my entrance.

“No, no! Wai- aaauughh!!!”

The Tentacle ignored my screams.

Tears and snot streaked across my face as the Tentacle forced its cock into me. Even under the effects of the aphrodisiac, the pain overwhelmed my pleasure. I felt like I was being torn open . . . it’s too much! It’s too much!

The Tentacle’s dick sank into my womb, pushing my body up despite the grip the other tentacles had on me. With every thrust, I could see a bulge form on my thin stomach where the Tentacle pushed my womb to its limits.

“Haahh! Ah, ah, ah!”

Pressed as deep inside me as it could go, the Tentacle’s dick suddenly bulged, and an incredible amount of cum was released into my womb. The dick slid out, followed by a rush of cum and other fluids secreted by the tentacles. I could feel my entrance hanging open, raw and empty.

I could see the cocks of the surrounding Tentacles begin to emerge. More than 50 monsters left to go . . .

(I’d never admit it, but I felt a little excited.)

When I was finally released, the sun was already setting.

My belly was painfully swollen, heavy and bulging with the eggs of the Tentacles. I felt totally exhausted, but at least it was finally over.

“Damn, you look delectable.”

It seems that Alexius has finally woken up. He must have changed into his human form to come look for me.

“Don’t even think about it. I need to lay these eggs.”

Alexius looked at me with eyes full of regret.

<< Congratulations! You have leveled up! >>

+ 15 Levels

+ 40 Tentacle Eggs

<< You are now level 53! >>

I couldn’t tell if it was because there were still aphrodisiacs in my system, but my heart was pounding.

Looking down, I could see that my chest was swollen, too. I touched one of my nipples, watching as white fluid gathered at the tip.

“Huh!?”

What’s up with this!? Even though I’m male, breast milk is coming out. I shuddered.

<< This is a temporary effect of the secretions produced by Tentacles during mating. It induces lactation in female Tentacles. There is a limited amount of breast milk, so you can get rid of it by sucking it all out. >>

S-sucking it out!?

“What’s that?” Alexius stared down at my chest, licking his lips.

My swollen chest hurts. The pain is steadily increasing. I don’t think I can handle this on my own . . . so, as much as I hate to say it . . .

“A-Alexius, I . . . I want you to suck my, uh . . . my breasts.”

I was going to die from embarrassment, but I was desperate for some relief.

Alexius laughed with a ferocious look in his eye. He lifted my small body with ease and dragged his long tongue against my nipple. After licking it, he pressed his lips to my breast and sucked at it eagerly.

“Ugh!”

Alexius’s long fingers twisted the nipple of my other breast. It hurt, and milk sprayed out wildly.

“It’s so sweet!” Alexius grinned against my breast, his sharp teeth pricking the sensitive skin.

Overwhelmed by the sensation, I almost felt as though I were a woman. This must also be a temporary effect, so it’s okay. It’s okay! I have to admit, that aphrodisiac was pretty powerful!

When Alexius had drunk his fill of milk from both my breasts, the pain in my chest subsided.

However, after returning to the Devil’s Castle and laying the eggs, I was immediately dragged into bed by a lustful Alexius; apparently, the breast milk was an aphrodisiac too.

The MC just can’t catch a break, can he? Still, I really like this chapter!! 💕

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 11

Book of Monsters

<< Congratulations! Although the Red Dragon is one of the most difficult monsters to tame, you have successfully made one your subordinate! It is a high-level species, so the benefits are very good. >>

The Red Dragon is only one of the most difficult monsters? What are the others like!?

“Devil, staying cooped up here just isn’t my style. I’ll start tracking down monsters and sending them here, okay?”

Alexius made a suggestion while cheerfully hugging me.

“I’d really appreciate that. With all the babies hatching, I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to leave the castle right now.”

Although the range of my「Perception」skill has increased, it still has limits.

“No problem! If you mate with me again, I’ll search wherever I can!”

I wonder, did Alexius enjoy mating with me that much? It seems like he won’t reject anything I say.

Hey, this level 180 Red Dragon could be a powerful ally, after all!

“No, you don’t have to come back anymore.”

“Seriously, Velke, jealousy isn’t a good look for you.”

Apparently, Velke was itching to blast Alexius with some devastating magic, but after 500 years the difference between their levels was too big.

After finally releasing me, Alexius bid us farewell and flew off into the sky. I decided that I would explore my castle a bit.

It seems that the Devil’s Castle grew again after I mated with the powerful Red Dragon. So this is one of the benefits of a monster with a high level!

<< Indeed! Because you have reached level 38, the Devil’s Castle has developed three new rooms. When you hit level 30, you also gained the ability to summon the Book of Monsters! >>

What is that, a comic book?

<< It is a complete, illustrated guide to the monsters of this world. It holds all the information you will need to know about every species. >>

Oh, how useful!

I summoned the Book of Monsters. It was enormous, and looked positively ancient.

It was also very heavy. I could already feel my arms growing weak, so I took it into one of the new rooms and propped it open on the floor.

● SLIME ●

Population: 75

Habitat: Western Forest, Devil’s Castle

● VELLUCLESIS ●

Population: 4

Habitat: Devil’s Castle

Each entry went on to list countless more details on each species. More importantly, it seemed that this book could tell how many individuals there were of each species.

But, looking through it, almost all the other pages are empty. What happened? Where’s the rest? There’s only a table of contents with a list of monsters and their populations.

<< The Book of Monsters can only display entries for monsters the Devil has personally encountered. >>

Well . . . I guess that makes sense . . .

But what in the world is this book . . . is it some kind of monster, too . . ?

Hmm? The monster species are listed very clearly, but some of the names have faded to gray.

<< The faded names indicate that the species has gone extinct. >>

There were gray names on every page of the table of contents, making it glaringly obvious how many species were gone.

So, there were this many monsters that have died out . . .

Even looking at the surviving species, many had dwindled to ten individuals, or five, or less.

I felt a chill seeing the devastating reality of the monster’s situation laid out before me.

<< Do not worry! When you reach level 100, you will gain the「Demonic Refinement」skill, which is unique to the Devil! >>

「Demonic Refinement」. . .?

<< The「Demonic Refinement」skill will allow you to create a new monster species, or recreate an extinct monster species, by refining the semen of several existing monster species! However, you must refine the proper combination of existing monster species in order to successfully use this skill. >>

Refining semen?

<< By mating with several different species of monster in succession,「Demonic Refinement」can be used to refine their semen within the Devil’s body! >>

Hey, System! You don’t have to explain it in such detail!

I paled at the thought of a monster orgy. Mating with monsters was already a painful ordeal. If I were to mate with more than one at a time . . . I got scared just imagining it.

<< The more monsters you mate with, the more combinations for「Demonic Refinement」will be unlocked! Be prepared to mate with many monsters in the near future! >>

I quietly dismissed the Book of Monsters to escape from reality.

<< By the way, with your improved「Perception」skill, you can sense monsters within a wider range! You can also sense monsters with a higher level than your own! >>

Prompted by the System, I activated the「Perception」skill.

● TENTACLE ●     [ Level 5 ]

● RABBITFOLK ●     [ Level 8 ]

● LIZARDFOLK ●     [ Level 25 ]

● KELPIE ●     [ Level 31 ]

● SABER TIGER ●     [ Level 41 ]

● NAGA ●     [ Level 53 ]

● DRYAD ●     [ Level 80 ]

I detected them all easily.

I-It’s for the sake of the monster population! I’ll do my best . . . starting tomorrow.

I’m really curious about what else is written in the Book of Monsters . . . I want some Velluclesis trivia . . .

(By the way, all the monsters detected at the end of the chapter appear in the upcoming chapters . . . some of them are really funny!)

The Unicorn Legion -  Chapter 20

Miracle Forest

It was done.

Julian double-checked the bowstring. There could be no doubt that this weapon was perfect. Although he had no way to test it, it was expertly weighted and the bowstring was strong, to provide unerring accuracy. In all honesty, it had turned out better than he’d anticipated.

The body of the crossbow was metal, and the prod was made of high-quality yew wood, which gave it a vibrant feeling.(1)(2)

I’ll call it “Rosanna,” Julian decided. Of course, it wasn’t as spectacular as “Morning Star,” but it had its own charm.

In the past, he’d always felt joyful when he’d successfully completed a project, but now his feelings were very complicated.

Tomorrow, the Unicorn Legion was leaving for the forest in the Sunset Highlands, the ‘Miracle Forest.’

If he used Rosanna, it would mean giving up on becoming a mage, instead joining the ranks of the Unicorn Legion as an arbalist.(3) However, in exchange for giving up on his dream, he could become an official member of the Unicorn Legion. The two couldn’t even be compared.

The dwarf looked at the light armor to his side and nodded to himself.

“Come on, Rosanna,” he said. “Show me what you can do.”

That night, the students and guests of the Mage Academy slept soundly, kept safe inside ancient stone walls. However, tonight there were two members of the adventuring party suffering from insomnia- one out of expectation, and the other out of tension.

At dawn, a heavy mist had settled in, accompanied by drizzling rain. Rain in early spring was good news for forests and fields, but it was a burden on travelers. To walk from the Mage Academy to the Sunset Highlands would take a little more than an hour. They could easily travel there and back again in less than a day, so the party would be able to take their time traveling.

After three full days of rest, the Unicorn Legion was in top condition. The only exceptions were Julian and Rowenna.

Julian was too wound up to eat much of his breakfast, and Rowenna seemed to be in low spirits as well. Earlier, Cain had politely pulled her chair out for her, but she’d only murmured a soft thanks before sipping her tea and gazing at the wall.

Shelly was bursting with excitement, but he remembered Rowenna’s warning and carefully avoided the topic of magic. Out of respect for Rowenna, he also avoided saying anything to embarrass Cain.(4) Unfortunately, he didn’t know much outside of these subjects, and soon ran out of things to say. Most of breakfast was spent in tense silence.

After saying their goodbyes to the Grand Mage and his wife, the Unicorn Legion set off. Rowenna was acting as their guide, and led the pack with quick and light footsteps. The atmosphere was too intense for conversation, and thus they traveled in silence as well.

An hour later they arrived at the base camp of the Miracle Forest. This was where mages undergoing their trials came to rest, so it was kept well-maintained. They took shelter in a cabin to build a fire and dry off before settling in to check their equipment and supplies.

Rowenna finally broke the silence.

“My teacher probably already told you this, but this forest is divided into three areas from the edge to the center. The apprentice-level and mid-level constructs have been shut down, and the high-level constructs have been completely destroyed, so we only have to deal with the magical creatures.(5) There’s no mention of creatures like these in any textbook, so we’ll have to be careful.

“Also, the magical constructs were designed to imitate magical creatures from the Legendary Age. In other words, to have defeated the most powerful constructs in the forest, these unknown magical creatures must be very strong. I suggest that Shelly and Julian stay on either side of the group, to act as lookouts.”

“No problem!” Shelly answered proudly, his head hidden under a towel. Julian nodded quietly.

“However, as we head deeper into the forest, the situation will become more dangerous, so it’s important that you listen to Captain’s orders.”

“Mm,” The elf hummed. He wasn’t sure how he’d ended up as the leader, or why Rowenna deferred to him so respectfully. Honestly, he didn’t think he was suited to lead. A nervous expression appeared on his face. Cain glanced at him and smiled before clapping a hand onto his shoulder.

“Don’t worry. Remember how well you handled the rebel army? You’ll do fine.”

Hearing Cain mention the rebellion, Rowenna looked at Ellen in shock.

“The Unicorn Legion is a neutral party. Why did you participate in the civil war?”

“Back then, I was only a mercenary. The legion had to be rebuilt.”

“He wiped out 50 enemy soldiers without breaking a sweat,” Cain interrupted. “He-”

“Cain!” Ellen shushed him, embarrassed. “You think that’s worth showing off to someone who ended a war single-handedly?”

“No matter,” Rowenna looked at Ellen, her tense expression somewhat eased. “I’ve heard of your deeds. If you hadn’t helped, I’m afraid even my master’s recovery efforts would have been in vain.”

“Well, getting back to the task at hand,” Ellen coughed, “I’d like for Cain to look after Shelly, while Miss Silva and I back up Julian. Is this alright?”

“I don’t mind either way,” the half-elf said, “and please, call me Rowenna.”

“Sounds good,” Cain smiled. “Shelly, if things get dangerous, just hide behind me.”

“Okay,” Shelly said. “Cain, are you sure it’s not you who’ll hide behind me?”

“. . . I’m too lazy to argue with you.” Cain turned away.

“I . . .” seeing both Ellen and Rowenna looking at him, the dwarf’s face grew red. “I . . . I’ll try not to cause trouble, so . . . you won’t have to take care of me . . .”

“We’re not taking care of you,” Rowenna said. “In this regard, we aren’t quite that skilled. We’ll be relying on you as well.”

“I . . . I’ll do my best,” Julian whispered.

“Then it’s settled.” Ellen stood up. “We’ll double-check our gear and head out.”

The Miracle Forest was an ancient one, filled with lush trees that had been steadily growing for hundreds of years. Fortunately, there were plenty of gaps between branches, and the atmosphere of the forest wasn’t too dark.

The rain had finally stopped. The leaves were coated in small droplets which occasionally dripped down to the forest floor. Except for their footsteps, there was no sound; even the birds were silent. For about ten minutes, all they saw were a few small slugs. There was no sign of any magical creatures.

“When all this is over, we should have a picnic here!” Shelly said.

“Usually, the constructs are active here,” Rowenna said. “You don’t want to fight giant rats and living thorns while you eat, right?”

“Woah!” Shelly exclaimed. “Hey, what are living tho- wah!”

“Shut up,” Cain flicked his forehead.

“Rowenna, are you sure the constructs have been shut down?” Ellen suddenly spoke.

“Yes.”

“Well,” the elf pointed ahead of them, “One of them’s woken up.”

Before any of them had the chance to ask what he meant, the others realized what he’d seen.

Coming down the path from deeper inside the forest, dozens of snake-like vines were writhing towards them.

“Shelly, Julian,” Ellen nocked an arrow, “The first round of attack goes to you.”

With a whisper from Cain, a white light blazed out of the dwarf and the siren.

The “prod” is the bow part of the crossbow.

The term used for “yew wood” is “紫衫木” which is used in traditional Chinese medicine.

An arbalist is someone who wields a crossbow.

Shelly’s such a gentleman! I guess Rowenna’s made a really good impression on him!

The magical creatures Rowenna is referring to were mentioned in Chapter 15; the Grand Mage suspects that the constructs were destroyed by them, and asked the Unicorn Legion to investigate.

They’ve finally set out on their quest! How exciting! I feel kind of bad for Julian, he’s a nervous wreck in this chapter . . . let’s hope he and Rosanna do well in the next chapter!

#The Unicorn Legion

[biolumitranslations]

I'm confused about something in The Devil's Origin, the System said, "When you are fully mature, your body will appear to be approximately twenty-five years old," but 「Regeneration」would make his bkdht go back to the state he started off with？You said even by chapter 50 he's still in the form of a child. I'm worried about Devil King being eternally small >.

You’re right, it’s a little worrisome!

I doubt he’ll really stay small forever. When he does fully mature,「Regeneration」will likely adjust itself accordingly, instead of always returning him to his original child-like state. Nothing’s been confirmed or denied by the source material at this point, so there’s still hope!

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 10

Red Dragon

“I can’t believe what I’m seeing- you’re really following a scrawny thing like this?”

The Red Dragon, Alexius, looked me up and down with irreverent eyes.

“This is the Demon King, and I will not hesitate to destroy you should you harm a single hair on his head.”

“Just try it! I’ll rip you to pieces first!”

A cold wind blew past us.

“You are . . . Alexius, right? It is true that I am the Demon King. You should become my subordinate.”

“Huh?”

He glared at me with blazing red eyes.

Scary! I’m really scared!

So much for my dignity as Demon King . . . though he obviously doesn’t respect me, I’ll make him another offer.

“I can give you a family.”

“Don’t bother, I don’t want company!”

It’s useless! If he’s not open to mating with me, there’s no reason for him to be obedient!

“But for someone to entice the guy who hasn’t moved for anyone in the last 500 years, I’m intrigued! Devil, you should show me how you did it!”

Alexius grinned and clapped a hand onto my shoulder.

“Hey, treat him with respect.”

“What, are you jealous? It’s not cute when a man’s jealous!”

The dragon replied to Velke’s words without hesitating.

He kept patting my shoulder, but I didn’t mind. Somehow, it seemed we’d end up in bed together one way or another, so it might be more convenient to just play along.

As for getting this guy to respect me- there’s no way!

Alexius hauled me into the mating room and settled in to stare at me, grinning. He’s the one who initiated this, but it seemed like he didn’t intend to move.

Hah! Don’t underestimate the Devil!

If I remember correctly, I have both the「Demonic Submission」and the「Charisma」skills!

“Demonic Submission!”

“. . . . . . what are you doing?”

Huh? Why didn’t anything happen?

<< The「Demonic Submission」skill is only effective on monsters with a lower level than you.>>

Please tell me these things sooner!! Uuwaaa!! It’s seriously embarrassing, aaah!!

I guess I’ll have to do this on my own, though my partner is obviously uninterested. I put my hand on his leg and yanked his pants down.

Even unaroused, his dick was large- even bigger than Velke’s in the same state. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It’s this size without even getting hard . . .

What is it with monsters!? Why are they always so oversized here!?

<< Monsters must survive and reproduce under extremely harsh conditions. Naturally, the males would be strong in this respect. >>

With tearful eyes, I trailed my tongue up his soft cock. I knew I absolutely wouldn’t be able to fit it in my mouth, so I rolled my tongue over the tip and brought my hand up to cradle his balls. Even his balls were huge . . .

I pressed my lips around the head of his cock and it jerked, sending a spurt of bitter-tasting cum into my mouth. I’ve read erotic books saying cum is delicious, but that was clearly a lie. It was a sticky substance I could barely swallow, and I retched at the smell.

“N-not bad, Devil!”

“Mmh, mmm!”

When I glanced up to see if Alexius was satisfied, my head was forced down and his cock hit the back of my throat. Tears of pain spilled down my cheeks.

“You haven’t convinced me yet!”

This dragon, isn’t he acting more like a devil than me!?

As his cock sank deeper into my throat, I dragged my hand up his balls and around the base of his cock. Both of his balls are large; I can barely hold them both in my hand.

After a while, his dick swelled so much I thought my jaw would break.

“Mmmh!”

“Come on, be a good boy!”

I wonder if he feels good. Alexius’s voice seems kind of hoarse.

I frantically tried to keep up my pace, and suddenly I heard him groan loudly.

“Mmmmmhmmm!!!”

Milky-white cum gushed into my mouth, some of it overflowing from my lips and nose.

“S-swallow it all!”

I’m sure I swallowed more than half, but in the end I couldn’t take it and coughed some of it up.

“Are you okay?”

Seeing my miserable state, Alexius gently rubbed my back.

Hey, is this guy really being kind?

“I . . . I’m fine . . . w-was that enough?”

“Don’t forget, I’m still a man . . . I want to enter here.” The hand on my back slid down and pressed a finger against my entrance.

I take it back. This guy definitely isn’t being kind.

I quickly took off my clothes and sat in front of Alexius with my legs spread.

“Damn, you’re small. Can I really enter here?”

“You can if you prepare me first, but . . .”

Looking much more excited than before, Alexius wet his fingers with a long tongue and pressed them against my entrance.

“Hah!”

“It’s really tight . . . you feel almost like a virgin.”

Of course! The sphincter that had been ruined by the Orc healed long ago. I’m really grateful for my「Regeneration」skill, but it’s tough dealing with the pain of losing my ‘virginity’ every time I mate with a monster.

“This is loose enough, right?”

Alexius muttered before pressing his erection to my entrance.

“H-hey, hold on- hah, aaaah!”

Suddenly, his hands lifted my thighs to my chest and the dragon’s weight pinned me to the bed.

The pain was enough to make me feel faint.

“You’re too . . . tight . . . loosen up . . !”

Even if he said such a thing, I couldn’t help but tense up in pain. Being caught in my vise-like entrance was probably painful for Alexius.

This insatiable guy disregarded my miserable state and thrust in eagerly.

“Hah, w-wait!”

I could feel him impossibly deep inside me.

“That’s it, take it!”

He grinned and forced his cock in a little deeper.

“Hold on, I’m not, loose yet! Ah, aah!”

“It’s alright, just be a good boy . . .”

Alexius shifted his grip on my legs and thrust in again.

This bastard . . . his level was high enough to communicate properly, but he obviously wasn’t listening to me at all!

Trapped beneath Alexius, I dragged my fingernails down his back in frustration.

“Alex . . . ah, ah, wait . . !”

“Call me that again, Devil . . .”

“Alex, Alex, ah, hahh!”

“Heh . . . you’re pretty cute . . . I might just get serious!”

Alexius grinned ferociously. His sharp teeth glinted threateningly; it was the perfect smile for a dragon.

His huge cock stretched my entrance to the absolute limit, and quickly broke through the membrane of my womb. Alexius pounded tirelessly into my, his hips slamming against mine. After being thrust into countless times, I felt a sharp pain deep inside.

“Hah, augh!”

“Devil . . . I love you . . !” Alexius panted.

His pace didn’t change, but I felt indescribable pain.

<< By the way, in order to induce ovulation and ensure insemination, male dragons have barbed genitalia! >>

I was so overwhelmed by pain I could barely register the words of the System.

“It’s too bad, but I’m not going to last much longer.”

Enormous red wings stretched out behind Alexius, and as he licked his lips I could see that his teeth had gotten bigger.

“Devil . . . it’s the first time I’ve ever . . . been so fascinated by someone . . .”

His long tongue trailed up my face.

Alexius came with a satisfied moan, flooding my womb with his seed. Finally, this should be the end of the painful mating.

<< Congratulations! You have Leveled Up! >>

+ 15 Levels

+ 75「Dragon’s Grace」

+ 25「Regeneration」

+ 30「Perception」

+ 2 Red Dragon Eggs

<< With this, you can detect monsters within a wider range! >>

A few hours later, a cheerful Alexius carried me to the Fountain of Life to give birth. When Velke offered to help me lay the eggs, Alexius swiftly rejected him, earning a furious glare from both of us.

“Devil, you’ve been such a good boy! I’ll gladly become your subordinate!”

“Forget it. The mating is over, so get lost.”

“It’s alright! I don’t mind spending the rest of my life with you!”

(By the way, the Red Dragon eggs were huge, and birthing them after my passage had been shredded by Alexius’s barbs let me taste the suffering of hell.)

Congrats on your first blowjob, MC! Alexius is kind of a punk, huh . . . it makes me wonder what Velke was like when he was younger . . .

[biolumitranslations]

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 9

Hatching

After mating with Velke, I gained eight levels and became level 21. It seems that it’s much easier to level up if I mate with powerful monsters. Due to the increase in level, I laid 2 Velluclesis eggs. Seeing the eggs nestled together in the fountain made up for the pain of birthing them.

Since I couldn’t detect any new monsters using the「Perception」skill, I mated with the Slime and Dire Wolf again. I could now produce 25 Slime eggs or 15 Dire Wolf eggs at a time, and I leveled up twice, making me level 23. My「Devil’s Command」skill went up to lvl 20.

Two new rooms appeared in the Devil’s Castle, so I decided to dedicate the room I had been using to mating and make one of the new rooms my own room.

Even though I’ll still have to use my old room for mating, this way I can preserve a private space for myself. Upon the System’s recommendation, I made the other room into a nursery.

<< Devil, wake up! >>

I was resting in Velke’s arms when I heard an annoying voice. Recently, when we’re not busy, I’ve been using Velke as a pillow.

What is it? I don’t want to get up; I’m too comfortable right now.

<< Some of the Eggs are hatching! >>

My annoyance vanished and I quickly made preparations (well, Velke did) and went into the room housing the Fountain of Life. In the fountain, the large Velluclesis eggs were surrounded by 45 Slime eggs, 15 Orc eggs, and 25 Dire Wolf eggs. Looking closer, I could see that the Slime eggs were slowly moving. One after another, tiny lemon yellow Slimes broke through the soft shells of their eggs.

I reached into the fountain and gently scooped one up. The gooey, shivering slime happily rubbed itself against my palm. I activated the「Soundless Voice」skill.

( ( Mama … Mama … love … love you … ) )

Hearing this, I was filled with a warm feeling.

This was a child I’d carried and birthed.

The Dire Wolf eggs began to wobble next, cracking open and revealing adorable puppies.

“Yip! Yip!” The pups joyfully clambered out of the fountain and shook the fluid off their fur before toddling over to me. Even without using any skills, I can understand how they feel.

Cute, they’re really too cute!

<< Monsters born of you will be absolutely loyal to you, Devil! When these children mature and breed, their species will be saved. >>

Uh, about the ‘breeding’ you mentioned …

<< Do not worry, these children are capable of breeding. When the Devil gives birth, the eggs are split evenly between male and female. >>

That’s good, though looking at the Slimes and Dire Wolf pups, I can’t tell which ones are male or female.

But … is it alright for my children to breed with each other?

<< Because of the Devil’s unique magical filter, monsters born of the Devil are unrelated to one another. >>

In other words, it’s safe for the children I birth to mate?

<< Correct! So you should continue breeding with confidence! >>

Later on, the Orc eggs began to break open. I don’t have any good feelings towards Orcs, but children are children. The little Orc babies who cried in my arms were also cute.

Unfortunately, the Velluclesis eggs didn’t hatch this time around. The more powerful the species, the longer it takes for them to hatch.

<< Because the newborn monsters are still immature, please raise them in the Devil’s Castle.>>

That’s right, I made one of the other rooms into a nursery. The monsters I raise here, will they leave the castle someday? There are countless adventurers and heroes just waiting to kill them out there. When I realized this, I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I did not birth these children to watch them die.

For the moment, my top priority is reviving the monster population, but I should also think about how to deal with those adventurers before they become an obstacle.

Hmm …?

Thinking about raising the children, I’ve remembered something.

I … I haven’t eaten once since I was born. In fact, nothing but cum has come in or out.

<< The Devil subsists on magical power. The magical power is drawn from excess semen not used in generating eggs after mating. >>

Oh, so it was something like that …

While taking care of the newborn monsters in the nursery, there was a loud noise from outside.

Alarmed, Velke dashed outside. I followed him, and saw a big shadow flying above us.

Amazing … the sound of the thing flying was deafening.

( ( So this is where the last of the Velluclesis has been hiding? ) )

A booming voice was magically transmitted into my brain.

An enormous red dragon landed on top of the Devil’s Castle (which, right now, looked like an ordinary house) and growled fiercely.

“A Red Dragon … are you Alexius?”

( ( Long time no see! I thought you were dead! It’s been, what, 500 years? ) )

Apparently this dragon is an old acquaintance of Velke.

( ( That’s a funny-looking pet you’ve got there. ) )

“Don’t be rude, Alexius.”

Funny-looking? Does it mean me?

<< That monster is a Red Dragon! He is currently level 180. The Red Dragons are another endangered species. >>

With a roar, the Red Dragon shrunk and transformed into a man who looked to be in his late twenties. With red hair and red eyes full of curiosity, this guy was handsome, too.

“Is that mediocre brat the Devil?”

The Red Dragon named Alexius looked at me in disbelief.

It’s no good; I don’t think I can get along with this guy at all!

The babies have finally hatched! They’re so cute!! The part where the little Slime calls the MC ‘Mama’ is so adorable, it made me grin just translating it!

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 8

Orc

Well, now I have to call the next monster.

I activate「Perception」which, according to the System, should now allow me to sense monsters up to level 13.

● ORC ●     [ Level 8 ]

Alright, it seems that there are no monsters I can mate with in this area.

<< Devil, why are you avoiding the Orc? >>

Are we talking about the same monster? A brute resembling a pig who’s only strong in terms of sexual desire? Impossible. I can endure anything else, but the Orc is simply impossible.

<<  Please do not be so negative. Even Orcs have been hunted by humans and are currently an endangered species. >>

After being persuaded by System, I activated「Devil’s Command」and finally called upon the Orc.

The Orc that arrived was about 160 cm, with bloodshot eyes and a runny nose. Ugh, this guy is disgusting.(1)

I tried to take off my clothes so that I could get this over with, but the impatient Orc immediately attacked me.

“Hey, hold on!”

The difference in height is only about 20 cm, but the Orc is more than twice my width.(2)

My head is pressed down against the bed, and the clothes on my lower body are torn away.

Hey, hey, I’m the Demon King! I’m basically your sovereign!

<< Occasionally, there are low-level monsters that are unable to communicate. >>

Why didn’t you tell me this before, System!?

Keeping me pressed down, the Orc snorted and took out his already stiff erection from his tattered clothes.

When I peered past the Orc’s arm, I could see gelatinous precum drooling out the tip of the Orc’s thick erection, and I couldn’t help but let out a small shriek.

It smelled terrible. I think I’ll die if that thing enters me.

The Orc shoved a finger into my unprepared entrance and began to force me open.

“Ugh … ah, hah! … ah, ahh! Augh!”

I couldn’t take my eyes off the Orc’s ugly, throbbing dick.

My vision started to go dark from the pain. The Orc suddenly forced in his rigid, slippery dick; the painful sensation was unlike anything I’d ever experienced before.

“Wait! I’m not ready yet- stop, stop it!”

There was a nasty tearing sound as the Orc broke through my sphincter.

Lubricated with my blood, the Orc flared his nostrils and thrust deeper.

“S-stop!”

With every movement, my body jerked like a ragdoll.

The Orc’s hips slamming against mine was painful. The stench of his breath as he licked my ear was painful. But more than anything, the Orc’s cock forcing my entrance past the breaking point was painful.

The Orc’s movements, which were ten times wilder than any of my previous partners, suddenly ceased.

I could barely feel the Orc’s cum flowing into me through the searing pain, but at the same time I felt somewhat hopeful.

This concludes the mating. I can now be released from this horrible pain.

However, when the Orc was drained down to the last drop, he began to thrust even more violently than before.

“Stop it … stop, it’s over, I’m too full …”

He didn’t hear my weak voice. The Orc was totally focused on fucking me, and didn’t stop his movements.

How many times has the Orc ejaculated. Even when the torn entrance stopped bleeding and my sphincter loosened entirely, this horrid mating never ended.

The place where our bodies connected dozens of times- hundreds of times- had lost all sensation and gone numb.

Even when my belly was bulging with cum, the Orc kept going as though he still hadn’t had enough.

Finally, I activated「Demonic Voice」to try and beg the Orc to stop, opening his mind to me.

( ( Fuck, ravage, ruin, rape, fuck, destroy, fuck, ruin, break, rape, mate, forever- ) )

I shudder at the violent thoughts. This Orc wasn’t driven out of love for the Devil, or for the prosperity of his species. I was scared that this monster’s pure libido would break me.

“Ah … h-hey …”

Tears of despair streaked across my cheeks.

“Help …”

I wanted this to stop. I’ve already hit my limit. I was sure my heart would break if this went on.

“Help me … Velke!”

Before the sound of my voice faded, he reacted.

An enormous amount of magical power blasted the door to pieces instantly. Suddenly, the Orc that had overpowered me and held me down disappeared completely.

Velke stood above my ruined form with fury in his eyes.

Without the support of the Orc I collapsed onto the sheets and realized that Velke’s destructive magic was so precise it had only affected the Orc.

“My lord …”

Looking pained, Velke took off his cloak and carefully wrapped me up in it.

“Velke … thank you, I … I thought would break …”

His gentle hands went down to my entrance, where a critical part of the Orc hadn’t been erased. Velke quickly slid the Orc’s severed genitals out of me and made them disappear as well.

“My lord, would you like to bathe?”

“Before that … please take me to the Fountain of Life … I want to get rid of the stuff inside me…”

Velke carried me as though he was holding a priceless treasure.

<< Ooh, he killed a valuable Orc! >>

Murderous intent gathered towards the complaints of the System.

<< Congratulations! You have Leveled Up! >>

+ 1 Level

+ 15 Orc Eggs

I want to give birth quickly so I can purge what the Orc put inside me.

I laid the eggs in the fountain. My sphincter could no longer serve its purpose; eggs about the size of chicken eggs poured out of my totally loose hole.

After laying them all, my body was trembling with exhaustion, and Velke slowly massaged me.

The pain and fear of the mating just now was still fresh in my mind.

“Velke, I have a request.”

“Anything for you, my lord.”

“I want you to overwrite the Orc.”

“That … is that alright?”

“After mating with the Orc, do you think I’m too filthy?”

Although the fountain rinsed me off, my sphincter is hanging open and may still have traces of the Orc’s semen.

“No, I’m just worried about the burden on you, my lord.”

Yes, he seems to be more concerned than usual.

But right now, if I didn’t quickly overwrite this horrid feeling with something else, I was afraid this experience would haunt me forever.

Velke carefully brought me to his room and set me down on the bed, kissing me softly. Velke’s kisses are really comfortable.

“Hmm … ah …”

I open my mouth to accept Velke’s tongue and kiss him deeper.

After a warm feeling spread throughout my entire body, Velke grasped my legs and began to kiss my thighs.

“It’s okay … c-come on, already … hah, hurry up!”

With a troubled smile, Velke pressed his erection against my entrance.

“Hah!”

As Velke’s cock slid into me, my worn out sphincter had to stretch to accommodate him. It was thick, but it was also very long, and it hit the membrane of my womb in no time.

It wasn’t sudden like our first time; instead, he broke through the membrane slowly, and my whole body was tense with anticipation.

“Ah, ah … oh, Velke, more … ah!”

I wonder if Velke knew I could feel the membrane tearing. He was so deep inside me, and the head of his dick rubbed through the torn membrane and into my womb; the stimulation was exhilarating. I was overwhelmed with pleasure.

Our bodies are pressed close together, and I can feel Velke’s sturdy arms wrapped around me.

However, this height difference is intolerable. If only I were just 20 centimeters taller, we could kiss while we made love.

“My lord, my lord …”

Velke was also eager for this, and was more than happy to indulge in me.

Thrusting in slowly and deeply while looking down at my blushing face, his movements grew more intense.

“Hahh … Velke, Velke!”

He pulled out further and slammed back into my entrance, breaching my womb violently.

As Velke reached his limit and tried to pull out before cumming, I crossed my legs to hold him down.

“D-do it inside!”

“My lord?”

“I want to give birth to your eggs, Velke!”

“Haah!”

Hearing my words, Velke’s self-control snapped, and he gave one last frantic thrust. With a harsh smack, his hips met mine and he released his seed into my womb.

The two of us were breathing hard. His cock was still inside me, and the sensation of the head resting inside my womb was strange.

When I hugged him tight, he returned the gesture even more fiercely.

I kept him close until the feeling of his dick inside me became familiar, as if it were a part of me. I smiled as I felt myself swell with his egg, feeling it brush lightly against the head of his dick.

Held close in his gentle embrace, my eyes slowly drifted shut.

Of course, the next day his cum had become a crusty mess smeared on my entrance, and it was difficult for Velke to pull out since my sphincter had repaired itself around him, and the egg had been pushed up too far into my womb and refused to come out, which let me taste the suffering of hell … but that night I slept peacefully, totally unaware of what was to come.

Here, the MC uses this phrase, “これあかんやつだわ,” which is basically a vulgar way of saying, “This is one of those guys,” where ‘guy’ is meant to describe someone gross and weird.

MC’s only 60 cm, so if the Orc is 160 cm, the height difference should be more than a meter……

I feel bad for the MC … to go from a gorgeous Velluclesis to a repulsive Orc must be painful, but at least Velke is still around to save the day!

(Still, that Orc could’ve at least had to decency to level up some of the MC’s skills, hmph!)

The Unicorn Legion - Chapter 19

Silent War

Turning to look at the trees, he saw a familiar figure.

Cain was swinging his sword as though fighting an invisible enemy.

Thrust, parry, forward, back, Cain moved without the slightest hesitation. His dancing sword reflected sunlight so dazzlingly, it was as though he was slicing cleanly through the air around him.

Intrigued by his skilled martial arts, the elf quietly began to approach, but before he had taken two steps the knight stopped. Suddenly, he turned and pointed his blade toward the elf:

“For a warrior like you to approach me now, are you challenging me?” Cain’s eyes were closed, and he spoke with a meditative expression.

Ellen smiled and silently took a few steps to the side, but Cain merely turned with him, keeping his swordpoint perfectly aligned with the elf.

Ellen thought for a moment before backing away and circling behind the knight before closing in.

As though he had eyes in the back of his head, Cain didn’t turn and simply raised his sword again, pointing directly at the elf.

“How are you doing that?”

“Perception magic. I can detect living things within a certain distance, especially if they have magical attributes.” Cain still didn’t open his eyes.

“So you can see even in the dark, or when something’s in the way?”

“Mm. Closing my eyes helps me focus.”

“A useful skill indeed,” Ellen nodded. “If you’re free, could you explain the magic you learned when you were a paladin?”

“I’d be happy to, Captain,” Cain opened his eyes. “But are you sure you don’t want to fight first?”

“Not a chance!” Ellen laughed. “If it were a long-distance fight, I could beat you without breaking a sweat, but if I let you get close it’ll be my loss.”

“Then, let me say this,” Cain looked serious. “I’ve been thinking about it, and although there’s no way to recover your reduced magical resistance, you can make up for it in other ways. For example, improving physically, and actively strengthening your defensive abilities. Even if you are hit, if you consciously focus on protecting your vitals, you can reduce the damage you take.”

“Cain . . .” the elf looked at him in surprise.

“I know elves don’t have much in the way of a physical advantage,” Cain smiled. “So, would you like to learn a few defensive moves?”

“Cain, you seem like you’ll enjoy being my teacher, am I right?”

“You could be right.”

“Then I have no reason to refuse,” Ellen smiled. “Where do we start?”

“First, let’s have a look at your strength,” the knight handed the elf a sheathed short sword. “Come at me!”

It was a quiet battle. Between a sheathed short sword and a sword, the sound isn’t harsh even as they’re clashing together. Cain was careful not to overpower him, and once he was sure Ellen could withstand his attacks, he shifted into a defensive stance.

Still, the tension of battle didn’t diminish.

The elf cautiously observed the knight, looking for an opportunity to strike, but he could only spot weaknesses just as Cain hid them, and they were gone before he could react. There was no doubt the knight had a disadvantage in agility, but as long as he didn’t make mistakes, it didn’t make a difference.

Nothing will happen if I just keep waiting, Ellen thought, and changed his strategy, attacking more actively. But he neglected his defense in the process, and was quickly stopped by Cain’s sword.

“One,” Cain said, and withdrew his sword.

Ellen understood the meaning of his comment. If this weren’t a practice fight, then Cain’s sword would have killed him once already.

Two times, three times, four times. The knight didn’t say them aloud, but the elf was keeping count. Each time it was only the tip, or the broad side of the blade, and the contact was always gone the next moment. But if this were actual combat, every one of them would have been fatal.

Ellen didn’t consider himself skilled in melee, but he was very experienced in dodging. However, this confidence crumbled over the course of the fight. Cain’s calm style of fighting was designed to make his opponents panic and to create an opportunity to strike; he didn’t push when he had the upper hand because he was waiting for his opponent to expose themselves further.

How long has this fight been? Five minutes? Ten minutes?

Cain said he’d go easy on me, but-

Ellen felt a jab of pain in his chest.

“Don’t get distracted,” Cain’s voice held a hint of displeasure.

“Sorry,” Ellen took a deep breath and concentrated on the battle.

At the very least, I can’t let Cain be disappointed.

Be patient, minimize his number of ‘deaths’, and an opportunity would surely come.

Finally, after blocking countless strikes, the opportunity he’d been waiting for arrived.

A hole appeared in Cain’s defensive footwork, and the next time their blades met Ellen pushed Cain’s to the side, stepped closer to the knight and brushed lightly against his chest before falling to the ground.

“One.”

“You did very well,” Cain smiled, and held out a hand to help him up.

The elf had been utterly tense all this time, and the fingers holding his short sword were stiff.

“Ellen,” the knight spoke with a mild tone. “Sometimes you become too focused on ‘attacking the target’ and ignore your own safety. This tactic can make your attacks very accurate, but it comes with a heavy price. Also, you are more easily injured than others.”

Ellen nodded, leaning against Cain’s shoulder and panting hard.

Of the original Unicorn Legion, he was indeed the member with the largest number of injuries. He’d always assumed it was because he was a weak archer, but apparently this wasn’t the case. In fact, it could be said that only luck had kept him alive thus far.

“It won’t be easy to try and change your fighting style at this point, but if you can, you should remember not to fight alone, and to listen to what your body is telling you. After all, not all wounds will fully recover after the battle. If you go all out in a single fight, you won’t be at your best in the next fight, and you’ll do yourself more harm than good.”

“Ah . . . I will try to change my habits . . . now that I think about it, I’m, hah, really lucky to have lived till now . . .”

Cain shook his head. “Your hand is a bit stiff, your breathing is too heavy; your shoulders and lungs are probably really hurting right now, correct?”

“Oh, you can tell?” Ellen laughed hoarsely. “Yes, that’s the gist of it. But my circumstances are rather unusual, so there’s nothing I can do about it now.”

“Those two points in the body are vital in a fight, so the matter of building up your strength again is essential. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us,” the knight frowned. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to force you to this point just to expose the problem.”

“It’s not your fault . . . no, wait,” the elf looked up. “Just now, did you let me hit you just so you could stop the fight?”

“Oh, you figured it out?” Cain teased, his eyes narrowing happily.

“You . . .” Ellen stared at him, trying to look angry, but his heart was overflowing with a warm feeling.

“If you want revenge,” Cain grinned, “we can continue this in the afternoon- Mrs. Cavendish, is it time for lunch?”

“Huh?” The elf turned to see the Grand Mage’s wife a short distance away.

“Ah, before that,” the knight got down on one knee and secured the short sword to the elf’s belt. “. . . when I’m not beside you, let this protect you in my place.”

“Cain,” Ellen laughed, “thank you, but do I owe you anything for this?”

“As I’m letting you borrow it, you can just give it back when you don’t need it anymore,” Cain replied. “You know, I kind of miss those fast-paced battles we used to fight with the mercenaries. I hope someday we can do something like that again . . .”

“Well, I’ll hold out for as long as I can, but I doubt our future enemies will be so easily dealt with.”

“Yes,” the knight stood up. “The road is still very long, and you are the most important part of our team. Ellen, don’t give in too easily, alright? I know you can do this . . . we all do.”

This chapter was so sweet! Could it be that spring has finally sprung for everyone’s favorite elf? I’m rooting for you, Ellen!

Whew! It’s been a while, but I wanted to get another chapter of TUL done before moving forward with TDO. I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 7

Dire Wolf

The following day, I activated「Perception」again. Among the monsters I could perceive, I was absolutely against the Orc, so I decided to call the level 10 Dire Wolf.

The Dire Wolf that arrived was enormous, almost twice the size of my body. To be honest, I kind of regretted summoning him.

<< Because the Dire Wolves are also dying out, please have a lot of eggs again today! >>

The System is oddly vigorous today.

When I smile at the Dire Wolf, he licks my cheeks with a long tongue.

Aw, it’s cute. If it weren’t for the fact I’m about to mate with him, I’d like to keep him as a pet.

“Woof!”

After taking off my clothes, his huge body presses against me like he can’t wait to get started. The feeling of the Dire Wolf licking my body is somewhat pleasant.

When I prepared myself and got down on all fours, the Dire Wolf sniffed my rear end and started to lick there, too. His warm tongue traveled back and forth between my legs over and over. Although it was strange, it also felt pleasant.

“Hah!”

The tongue pierced my sphincter. It was long and thin and pressed deep inside me. It couldn’t quite reach my womb, but the Dire Wolf’s syrupy drool coated most of my passage.

Apparently deciding that I’d been sufficiently lubricated, the Dire Wolf growled and heaved himself on top of me. His bright red erection thrust inside me without hesitation.

“Hh … hah! Ugh …”

Although I’d been loosened up by his tongue, it was still a tight fit. The Dire Wolf’s penis was slender, but it was a lot longer than a human’s. As it slid inside, it made a nasty sound.

As I slowly became accustomed to his length, it finally hit me that I was mating with a beast.

The wolf’s fur brushed against my butt. His tongue trailed up my back. I could hear him panting hoarsely as he moved.

I’m being fucked like a bitch by this wolf; the realization is more serene than I expected.

I kept my voice down so I wouldn’t worry Velke in the other room, but there was no way I could hold back my tears.

The Dire Wolf’s thrusts suddenly paused and he groaned loudly before releasing a load of watery cum inside me.

Great! This is the end of the mating. I’m glad.

… he’s still hard.

“H-hey, hold on …”

Something hard started swelling up at my entrance. Now that I think about it, I think I’ve heard that when dogs mate, their genitals locks together to prevent the seed from spilling out. No way, if that’s how it is . . ! Just how much is this cheerful wolf going to cum!?

While listening to the Dire Wolf ejaculating, I despaired this endless mating.

“Ugh … uuhn …”

It’s been about five hours since then. My belly is swollen with the Dire Wolf’s cum. I ran out of tears about three hours ago. I can’t even cum anymore; I’ve been reduced to helplessly leaking clear liquid.

Finally, the Dire Wolf was satisfied; the knot disappeared, and he pulled out without hesitation. The watery semen flows down my thighs and soaks the sheet beneath us.

Because I think it would be a bad idea to press on my belly right now, I collapse onto my side. The Slime had filled me up, too, but in a very different way than this.

The Dire Wolf seems to be treating me as he would his mate, carefully licking my entire body.

I can’t move an inch.

<< Congratulations! You have Leveled Up! >>

+ 2 Levels

+ 5「Demonic Voice」

+ 10 Dire Wolf Eggs

<< With this, you have mastered the skill「Demonic Voice」>>

The System’s voice is strangely annoying.

Is the「Demonic Voice」skill a beast-specific version of the「Soundless Voice」skill?

<< Correct! You should test it out. >>

I place my hand on the head of the Dire Wolf, who’s still licking my body, and activate the skill.

( ( Devil … my mate … my perfect mate … I will always protect you … ) )

I can feel undying love from the Dire Wolf. This … I can’t bring myself to hate him.

The Dire Wolf is very similar to a wolf. I’ve heard that a wolf only mates with a single partner for its whole life.

His briskly wagging tail expresses boundless joy, so there’s no way I can hate him.

Haah … I sighed and called Velke to help me into the Fountain of Life.

One more time.

For the cheerful Dire Wolf, I have to lay these eggs.

Another non-human, right off the bat! You know, the MC keeps describing these monsters as ‘beautiful’ or ‘cute’……. I can’t help but think he isn’t quite so normal as the System hoped……

WARNING: In the next chapter, the MC is raped by an orc. It takes up roughly half the chapter, after which the MC is ‘comforted’ by Velke. It’s not important to the story- except in that the MC is terrified of orcs from then on- so I figured it couldn’t hurt to give you all a heads up.

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 6

Slime

After waiting a while, the trembling Slime finally arrived at the Devil’s Castle.

So this is a Slime …

A dark orange core floated within a plump, lemon yellow, jelly-like body. It was a jelly that looked good enough to eat.

Hesitantly, I reached out to touch it. The jelly was cool to the touch; I wonder if it will stay cool inside me.

I don’t know if a Slime can melt clothes, but just to be safe I’ll undress first.

When the Slime seemed to realize I was harmless, it boldly oozed up my legs. In only a moment, the cold jelly reached my hips.

Part of the Slime oozed upwards and touched my cheek as if to caress it before pushing between my lips. I think my mouth must be very sensitive; this is nothing like a kiss, and yet it feels comfortable.

While I was focused on the slime in my mouth, the slime draped around my thighs began to move.

“Hah!”

Something soft wrapped itself around my dick.

As it rubbed against me, my hips subconsciously began to move.

Through the growing haze of arousal, I felt a strange sensation. I snapped to attention when I realized the Slime was squeezing into my urethra. That is definitely not an entrance.

“Hey!”

The slime that entered the urethra smoothly stimulated both the outside and inside of my dick at the same time. It made me want to cum, but I couldn’t, and I was ashamed by my frustration.

The slime in my mouth wriggles further in, pouring itself down my throat. It stings a little.

As the cool slime accumulated in my mouth, I shuddered; what will happen if I accidentally bite it? If I inadvertently bite through the slime, and it somehow reached my stomach … thinking about it, I opened my mouth as wide as I could.

Despite my fear, I sighed when something touched my butt.

The sphincter muscle, which had already returned to its original state, did not open easily. The Slime finally managed to squeeze in some jelly about the size of an index finger. Compared to Velke, the insertion felt quite modest.

But that was only the beginning.

“Haahh!!”

From the index-finger sized gap, an unbelievable amount of slime poured in! At the sudden expansion, tears flowed uncontrollably down my cheeks. The Slime reached a point not far from my entrance and forcibly stimulated it. How could it have known where my prostate was!?

It oozed up my passage without difficulty and passed through the membrane of my womb; enough slime was gathered in my belly that it began to swell and bulge out.

The Slime moved as though it knew where I felt good.

Hah … mm, ah! …

The slime in my belly was soft, but it pressed inside me with unbelievable mass.

Even the slime in my mouth was heavy; I tried to touch it with my hand but I couldn’t get a grip on its slippery body.

If it’s a Slime, mating will be easy … it seems my previous assumption was a mistake.

Although I really wanted to cum, the slime piercing my urethra wouldn’t let me, rubbing both the inside and the outside. Although my entrance has only stretched a little compared to yesterday, the mass inside me is enough to distend my belly. Endlessly shifting, the jelly-like slime moved within me. It felt as though this would never end.

The Slime’s relaxed mating continued until dawn.

<< Congratulations! You have Leveled Up! >>

+ 1 Level

+ 5「Soundless Voice」

+ 20 Slime Eggs

<< With this, you have mastered the skill「Soundless Voice」>>

After my long night with the Slime, a bright voice echoed in my head.

Satisfied, the Slime finally slipped out of my mouth and urethra. The cum that had lost its momentum leaked out slowly. At last, the jelly that was stuffed into my intestines drained back out through the hole that was still only about the size of an index finger.

Now that the Slime is out, I feel uncomfortably empty. More importantly, that「Soundless Voice」skill …

<< At lvl 10,「Soundless Voice」gives you the ability to read the thoughts of speechless monsters when you touch them. When this skill reaches lvl 50, you will be able to read their thoughts without touching them. >>

This skill, why couldn’t I have gotten it sooner!?

As I tried touching the slime while activating the「Soundless Voice」skill, the Slime’s thoughts suddenly flowed into my mind.

( ( I love you, I love you … I love the Devil … I love you … ) )

The Slime rubs itself against my hand. What the … it’s actually really cute!? If I don’t think about the naughty things it just did to me, this monster is simply too cute!

As my womb is slowly filled by the Slime’s eggs, I make my way over to the Fountain of Life. Supported by the worried-looking Velke, I settled into the pool and laid the freshly produced Slime eggs.

After I produced 20 small, soft eggs, the Slime touched the eggs happily as its body changed from lemon yellow to dark yellow.

Anyway, I’m going to sleep now.

Wow, it’s only the MC’s second monster and it’s already a non-humanoid one! I’m rooting for you, MC!!

Thank you all for your feedback on the Chapter Index! I’ve decided to stick with my current system, and list chapters titles as they are released.

Thank you all for reading!

The Unicorn Legion - Chapter 18

Hero of the Past

“I remember where I’ve heard the name ‘Rowenna’ before! This world isn’t so large as to have two half-elves with the same name that both happen to be familiar with the Queen, right?”

After Cain and Ellen left the Cavendish’s house, the knight suddenly spoke.

“Well, yes.”

“Rowenna Silva must actually be Princess Rowenna Grecia. The only daughter of the late king and his first wife, and the current queen’s half-sister.”

“No wonder she seemed familiar,” Ellen nodded thoughtfully. “However, did King Allen really marry an elf?”

“I heard she was an adventurer from another continent,” Cain replied. “It wasn’t a political marriage, either. Apparently, they were deeply in love; it was quite the scandal. I hadn’t been born yet, so all this is only what I’ve heard.”

“You said she was the ‘first’ queen-”

“Yes,” said the knight. “The first queen died many years ago. The king remained a widower for half a year before marrying the second queen, who gave birth to the present queen.”

“. . . that couldn’t have been a good atmosphere to grow up in,” the elf sighed.

“That was probably when she realized that she was different from the humans around her, and it must’ve soured her relationship with her father. She even changed her surname to break away from him. I didn’t expect that the ‘Jagged Princess’ was actually living anonymously in the Mage’s Academy.”

“Jagged Princess?”

“Yeah, that nickname of hers became really well-known a few years ago,” Cain explained. “At that time, the king was seriously ill, and the neighboring country of Keaigen took the opportunity to annex land along the western border of Sistare. They put forth many demands in return for the land, one of which was for the princess to marry the king of Keaigen.

“The court was quickly divided against itself, and as the different factions fought one another, the princess took the initiative to agree to the marriage, and soon departed for Keaigen. Proud of their easy victory, the soldiers of Keaigen let down their guard. When they realized that the princess was accompanied not by an honor guard, but by elite troops, it was too late.

“At that time, she couldn’t have been more than twenty, but she accomplished what veteran generals couldn’t, cleanly and swiftly recovering Sistare’s western border. Of course, she was widely criticized for being too reckless; after all, if her plan had been exposed, the consequences would have been disastrous.”(1)

“Yes, but with little effort on Sistare’s part, and without sacrificing the people, the princess solved the problem quite efficiently,” Ellen laughed. “Actually, I think that Keaigen wouldn’t have retreated either way, and would have just kept her as a hostage.”

“After that incident, Sistare remained at peace for more than a decade. Even during the recent civil war, none of the neighboring countries took the opportunity to invade. The impression left behind by the Jagged Princess definitely played a part in that,” Cain said. “But since that incident, she’s disappeared from the public eye. Rumor has it that she died, because the late king appointed the younger princess, Aemelian, as his heir.”

“So, that’s where the confidence to rebel came from,” Ellen nodded. “As long as the queen had her sister backing her, Archduke Crane wouldn’t dare act rashly.”

“Not necessarily,” Cain shook his head. “Archduke Crane had been trying to draw the church to his side, but I don’t know why they refused . . . ah, I know why Rowenna hates paladins! All those years ago, when Keaigen invaded, the Pope was aligned with the lords of another faction.

“That is, the church intended to sell her in exchange for national peace.

“At that time, I could barely lift a sword, much less fight as a paladin of the church, and now I’m no longer affiliated with them. In the end, the result is the same, and I look like a villain in her eyes.”

“Don’t cry, Cain,” Ellen glanced at Cain, who looked more depressed than ever.

“I didn’t actually feel like crying until you said that,” Cain sighed.

“Uh . . . should I lend you my shoulder?” Ellen asked with a very serious expression.

“Don’t take my words so seriously! I’m not a child, remember?”

“As expected, even after taking a hit like that, you’ve got adaptability and resilience. Truly, that’s the advantage of mankind.”

The elf smiled and reached up to pat the knight’s head.

“Ellen,” Cain grabbed his wrist. “Have you been pulling my leg this whole time?”

“Oops, you figured it out,” The elf grinned, his eyes narrowing happily.

“ . . . Give back my pure and straightforward captain.”

“Well, I should go practice archery for a bit- see you later, Cain!”

The elf smiled and walked off, leaving the knight standing alone. Cain wasn’t sure how to react.

For a 300-year-old elf from the ancient Legendary Age, wasn’t he adapting a little too fast? . . . then again, there was nothing wrong with that.

Looking at the elf who was briskly walking away, Cain couldn’t help but smile.

Please persevere, Captain.

Someday you will regain the happiness that should have been yours all along.

At that time, you’ll feel like a part of this world, and you won’t show a sad expression again.

The Mage’s Academy had no archery range, but there was a range for mid-level mages. This was so that they could practice various ranged spells, some of which required a certain degree of precision. The Academy had arranged a dedicated area for these spells, surrounded by a strong enchantment. Inside the range, damage was reduced so that those who were hit accidentally would be safe- or at least not dead.

When the elf entered the range, there were only a few young mages already there. Upon seeing Ellen in his archery gear, they looked a little surprised, but they were soon immersed in their own practice again.

Ellen selected a remote corner of the range and took a moment to observe the surroundings.

In addition to several humanoid targets propped up on one end of the range, the ground itself was painted with a variety of markings. Similar to an archery range, a mage stood at the far end of the range with a spell at the ready. When fired, the spell is just a burst of magical energy, that will take effect after a period of time. They practice to refine their aim and strength to ensure the spell is at its most effective upon reaching the target. But looking at the range, it appeared that several of the mages couldn’t aim all too well, and most of their spells landed far from the designated target.

Once, a spell fired by the nearest mage nearly hit Ellen, who shouted and scrambled out of the way to avoid getting his face burned off.

The mage who had fired the overpowered spell quickly ran over with his friend, both of them apologizing profusely. Ellen could only nod his head helplessly.

The two mages continued to apologize, obviously a little disheartened. To express their repentance, the two enthusiastically invited the elf to take a break and chat with them.

. . . It seems like coming here was really a waste of time.

The elf sighed.

“Although I am not a mage, in this regard,” he nocked an arrow and fired it upwards at a steep angle, “It’s not magic that’s the problem.”

The arrow hit the first target in the distance.(2)

“It’s a physical issue.”

Another arrow landed deeply in the second target.

The elf tucked his bow away and turned to the two mages.

“This is called a recurve bow. Most spells are actually slower than this, so that they’re easier to aim. You may want to consider studying the basics of archery.”

After speaking, Ellen turned and left the range, leaving the two mages gaping at the targets.

According to the sundial in the garden, it was about ten in the morning, and far too early to take a break.

What to do . . . maybe he could run around the perimeter of the Academy as exercise?

The elf strolled patiently while looking around, but as he glanced towards a copse of trees, he saw light glinting off a metal blade.

……...This……..doesn’t actually explain why she’s called the Jagged Princess, Cain………

Damn!! Ellen, you’re so cool!

We haven’t seen Ellen’s cool, commanding side in a while . . . I’m glad he’s making a comeback!

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 5

The Next Monster

While floating between consciousness and unconsciousness, I realized that this was the second time I was waking up in the arms of a worried-looking Velke. In the lukewarm pool, with a large egg beside us, I was lying in a handsome man’s embrace; it was a pleasant surprise.

<< Congratulations! You have successfully given birth. After some time, the Velluclesis Egg will hatch. The Fountain of Life is essentially the Devil’s womb. If you lay eggs here, they will hatch. Also, because the Velluclesis is a much higher level than you, there is only one egg, but as your level increases, so will the number of eggs, so please do your best! >>

Alright . . . what’s going to happen to me if I have more of these huge eggs . . .

Well, Velke’s looking at the egg like it’s the most important thing in the world, so maybe it would be better to have more . . .

<< Now, what monster will you mate with next? >>

Next . . . well, I’d like another humanoid, please. And, if it’s possible, I’d prefer one that’s not so overwhelmingly powerful.

<< What are you saying? From now on, you must bring your potential mates to you. >>

System’s words leave me speechless.

<< Do you remember? You were only able to select and teleport to your first partner. Now, you must find a mate on your own. Your power as the Devil is still fragile, and most monsters will not be loyal to you. You have no choice but to mate with low-level monsters. >>

How do I find low-level monsters?

<< You possess lvl 5「Perception」which you can use to search for monsters in your vicinity. You can call them using your lvl 10「Devil’s Command」skill. You can only use「Devil’s Command」on monsters whose strength is lower than your own. If you use the 「Devil’s Command」skill, you can make them your subordinates. >>

Alright . . . I guess it’s important that I remember to use these skills . . . but is there a reason I have to hunt down these monsters myself . . ?

As instructed by System, I activated the「Perception」skill. Surprisingly, there were three reactions in the immediate vicinity.

● SLIME ●     [ Level 1 ]

● ORC ●     [ Level 8 ]

● DIRE WOLF ●     [ Level 10 ]

Impossible, impossible, impossible! No way!

<< You will have to mate with them all eventually. >>

Ignoring the words of System who said such troublesome things, I . . .

“Velke, please prepare a bed in the next room.”

“Yes, my lord.”

I decided to go to sleep and escape from reality.

When I woke up the next day, I was still the Demon King. Oh, well . . .

I slipped my finger inside me again and determined that no traces remained from yesterday’s intercourse. Is this the power of the「Regeneration」skill?

After getting up, Velke helped me prepare. I discovered I could adjust the Devil’s Castle, which now had a total of three rooms. I decided to put the Fountain of Life in the innermost room, with my room on one side and Velke’s room on the other. Velke’s going to watch the egg in the room with the fountain when he’s not busy with other things.

Now, the reality I escaped from is back.

I activated my 「Perception」skill.

● SLIME ●     [ Level 1 ]

● ORC ●     [ Level 8 ]

● DIRE WOLF ●     [ Level 10 ]

The options haven’t changed. Between the three of them, I have to choose . . .

Going off the erotic books and various other sources from my past life, I have a vague idea of how to deal with a certain one . . .

<< You acquired knowledge on mating with a Slime in your previous life. >>

I wish I didn’t know! It was just porn; I thought it was something that could only happen online!

Upon invoking the「Devil’s Command」skill, the Slime apparently started making its way towards the castle

“Velke?”

When I peeked into the fountain room, Velke looked up curiously.

“I’ll be attending my duties as the Demon King in the next room, so if you happen to hear me crying, ignore it.”

“ . . . . . . I cannot accept that, my lord. If you call for help, what should I do?”

“Then, if I ask, please help me with all your power.”

I get the feeling that any monster that hurts me will become charcoal at the hands of Velke.

However, I am the Demon King. I am naturally superior to other monsters, and I’m not at all disadvantaged . . . I hope.

“I understand.”

“Velke, I . . . I’d appreciate it if you didn’t look down on me for this.”

“I am eternally your servant, my lord, but I understand that you belong to all monsters . . . I will get jealous, but I promise I will not disturb you.”(1)

Velke gazed at me with painful eyes. I’m glad he was my first. I know it’s an inconvenience for him, but I’m glad he’ll be my guardian, too.

Now, my next partner will be a Slime.

I tortured myself over this line!! I just can’t figure out a better way to say this. This is the original text; “私は、魔王の物だ。しかし魔王は魔族全体のもの……嫉妬はするだろうが、主の邪魔はしないと約束しよう”.

I’m glad you’re all enjoying The Devil’s Origin! There’s something I’d like to ask you readers; do you prefer the way the chapter index is set up right now, with each chapter listed as it is released, or would you prefer I list all the chapters titles even without releasing the chapters themselves? Please let me know in the comments!

The Devil’s Origin - Chapter 4

The First Egg

“. . . lord . . . . . you . . .”

I heard a voice in the distance.

“My lord!”

A beautiful face filled with worry was unexpectedly close.

As I sat up, something came up from the back of my throat.

“Ugh!”

I puked, after all.

Uwaah, sorry, it’s dirty. I’ve thrown up on myself, but since I haven’t eaten anything, it’s only liquid.

“My lord, are you alright?”

Despite witnessing such a disgusting thing, Velke soothingly rubbed my back. What a kind monster . . .

Hold on.

I withdraw my previous statement. A kind monster wouldn’t have left his dick in.

“Pull it out . . . please, just pull it out . . .”

I wonder how long I’ve been unconscious. Velke is embracing me carefully, but he seems to have neglected something.

“Then, I will pull out.”

As Velke slid himself out, it felt as though a part of me was being taken away.

“Mmm . . !”

When I clench my teeth against the pain, Velke’s shoulder presses against my lips. Does he want me to bite his shoulder so I won’t accidentally bite my tongue?

“Hn!”

A grunt slips out.

There’s blood dripping from Velke’s shoulder. I’d bitten him fiercely.

Velke’s profile was close. His ears were pointed, like an elf’s.

When his slender dick finally popped out, cloudy white liquid poured down my inner thighs. As uncomfortable as it was, I felt a sense of relief.

I clench shut instinctively, and I’m ashamed to realize that I can’t quite close all the way.

This . . . does this mean . . . what am I going to do if it won’t close . . ?

Velke, who seemed to think I’m crying out of pain, placed a soft kiss on my cheek to comfort me.

<< You have mated for the first time! Cheers for your good work! >>

Towards that incorporeal voice, murderous intent gathered.

It had been a terrible experience. I hadn’t expected to have such a hard time.

More importantly, what was I going to do about my cum-filled hole? It’s a little amazing; it’s as though I was built to be thrust into.

<< It seems that the damage to your body is substantial. Do not worry; you will be alright! You posses the skill「Regeneration」which will soon restore your body to its original state. >>

I think I remember having such an ability.

<<「Regeneration」can return your body to its original state unless you are fatally wounded. To be precise, it will return your body to the state it was in at your moment of creation. As the level increases, your recovery time will decrease. >>

Well, if it’ll put me back to how I was, that’s good . . .

<< Regardless of how many times you mate in the future, your body will always return to its virginal state. Your partners will all need to lubricate you thoroughly. >>

In other words, no matter how much I try to get used to it, my body will reset and I’ll have to taste that pain again!? Seriously!?

My face is clouded with despair.

On the plus side, I’m being spoiled by Velke, who seems to have misunderstood again.

I don’t want to tough my way through this.  If I have to start from scratch every time, I’m worried my tastes will change.

<< By the way, you have Leveled Up! You are now level 10. Because you mated with such a strong monster, your level increased drastically. >>

+ 5「 Perception」

+ 10「 Devil’s Command」

+ 5「 Soundless Voice」

+ 10「 Demonic Voice」

+ 1 Velluclesis Egg

<< The Devil’s Castle has also developed two new rooms. >>

RPG-esque stats pop into my head one after another, and I reel in shock.

That’s right . . . the Devil’s Castle . . . my house . . .

“Velke . . .”

“What’s wrong?”

When I spoke, he looked down at me anxiously.

“I want to go home.”

After arranging things with Velke, we went from the dark cave to the Devil’s Castle.

It seems that he naturally knows the location of the castle after swearing allegiance to me. In only a few hours I returned to the place where I’d been born, and I felt a weight lift off my chest.

At the same time, I could feel something terrible happening inside me.

Pain shot through me, as though something was stretching inside me, and as I watched my belly began to distend.

As instructed by the System, I hadn’t cleaned out Velke’s semen. Apparently, leaving it in made it easier to generate eggs. Were the eggs causing this pain?

<< Now, Devil, you should return to the Fountain of Life. >>

Wracked with pain, I was held carefully by Velke and carried to the pool.

<< This is where you will lay the eggs. >>

Here? Really? No wonder you claimed it was an important place.

I slipped out of Velke’s arms and sank into the lukewarm liquid.

“Velke, I’m going to give birth to your child now, so . . . please lend me a hand.”

“Of course.”

Velke’s eyes look a little red and moist. After I settled into the pool, he hugged me from behind and stroked my hair.

Because of my appearance, Velke seems to be treating me as a child.

The「Regeneration」skill still hasn’t activated; the cum from deep inside me is dripping out.

Where is the egg?

Even when I pressed in a hesitant finger, I didn’t hit the egg.

I exhale and try to put pressure on my lower abdomen. I could almost hear a squelch as the egg slid a little further down.

Slippery . . . ugh, it’s slimy . . .

Velke lent me his hand to bite this time. His beautiful hand that gently caressed me . . . I’m sorry for leaving a bite mark, but I’m grateful that I have something to distract me from the pain.

“Hhng!!”

The egg finally pressed down on the membrane of my womb. My body trembled as it passed through at an excruciatingly slow pace. Velke’s hot tongue licks up my flowing tears.

However, even after the egg started to poke out of my rectum, it couldn’t quite escape the sphincter.

When I reached down, I could touch the slimy surface of the egg with my finger.

A little more-! Although it had already come out, the egg retreated inwards as though refusing to be born.

“My lord . . . may I assist you?”

I peered at him through tear-filled eyes; Velke gave me a worried look in return.

I nodded, a little sharply, and with his free hand he reached between my thighs. Quickly, he pushed in two fingers, and I paled as I realized what he planned to do.

“Ah . . . stop . . .”

“I’ll be gentle.”

He added a third finger, then the fourth, and finally managed to squeeze in his thumb, forcing open the sphincter.

“Hey- augh!!”

Tears streaked across my face. Velke’s hand penetrated me with a nauseating sound.

Because his palm was too wide, he didn’t put all of it in, but his fingers wrapped around the egg and pulled.

“This is the child of you and I, my lord. Surely, they will be strong.”

The agonizing pain of his hand tearing the egg from me resulted in the successful birth of a large egg. Huge, to be accurate. I couldn’t believe that something like that had been in my body.

“My lord, my lord . . . thank you for giving birth to my child.”

Velke’s eyes were moist. I am glad that he’s happy.

This egg, the first egg of the Velluclesis . . .

The hole in my backyard is hanging open. Somewhere through the haze, I realized that if this egg were the first, then . . . I’m going to have to do this all over again!

Congratulations, MC!! You’re a mother now!

[biolumitranslations]

The Unicorn Legion - Chapter 17

Bloodlines and Fate

Rowenna led Julian and Shelly to a storage room. Inside was a man who looked to be about 30 years old, and he bowed respectfully upon seeing Rowenna. He looked at the dwarf curiously.

“Miss Silva, is this your apprentice?”

Rowenna frowned at his question and coldly replied, “No, Mr. Anderson. This is my new teammate. He’s here to prepare our equipment.”

“So that’s it,” Anderson nodded and gave Julian a meaningful look. “In that respect, a dwarf is a genius. I come from a family of blacksmiths myself, but I didn’t have much talent for it. Fortunately, I’ve mastered magic instead, ah ha ha!”

Julian’s head hung low. Rowenna’s expression became even more unpleasant at the man’s obnoxious tone of superiority.

“May we come in?”

“Yes, make yourselves at home!” Anderson again bowed respectfully before sitting down and picking up a book.

“What an irritating guy,” Shelly muttered.

“Well, he has magical talent . . . it’s something to be proud of,” Julian replied, turning to the side and silently picking through the materials.

“But anyone can be talented with this sort of thing, the only difference is that he’s learned how to use it properly,” Shelly declared loudly.

“Ah, no, child,” Anderson laughed. “You see, I have studied here in the Mage’s Academy for many years, and even I have yet to pass the mid-level mage assessment. Miss Silva is a half-elf, and much more powerful than any human- and, as everyone knows, dwarves can’t become mages. It’s only their skill in smithing that sets them apart.

“So, it’s important to remember that the difference doesn’t lie in someone’s magical education; the difference is set in stone at birth.”

Julian seemed as though he wanted to say something, but Anderson had already turned back to his book, a history of magical techniques. In the end, he only lowered his head again.

“What do you mean, a dwarf can’t become a mage?”

Rowenna sighed softly and ruffled Shelly’s hair. “I’ll explain it to you later.”

After a while, Julian spoke. “Thank you, Mr. Anderson.”

“Hmm, yes . . .” Anderson turned a page in his book and absent-mindedly replied. “Hm, the first mage to fully master chaos magic was . . . now, who was it again?”

“Lucas. Lucas Moonshadow.” Julian said softly.

“Yes, that’s it . . . huh?” Anderson looked up in surprise, but the dwarf only picked up a box of materials and walked out the door.

“Come on, Shelly,” Rowenna said, staring after the dwarf.

The distance from the storage room to the forge wasn’t far, with only a small garden between them. Mage robes with enhanced durability and master-class equipment was kept here, so most of the time it was kept locked.

“From now on, you have the right to use this room, Mr. Mageless,” Rowenna handed Julian a key. “If there’s anything you need, please come tell me. I will be in the classroom next door.”

“Thank you very much,” he bowed and added, “By the way, please call me Julian.”

“Then, I will see you soon, Julian,” the half-elf nodded and left with Shelly.

Classrooms in the Mage Academy are different from those in regular schools. This is because the subjects taught in the classrooms are different, too. In the center of the room is a wide open space, surrounded by two or three rows of tables and chairs. It was a very large space so that spells could be demonstrated.

“That guy made Julian look sad,” Shelly spoke up suddenly. “So I hate him.”

“Julian is interested in magic,” Rowenna said. “It’s ironic.”

“What’s ‘ironic’? Cain’s said that before, too.”

Rowenna didn’t answer; instead, she turned to him and said, “Shelly, magical talent is a very fickle thing. Although it may seem common, not everyone has it. Or, at least, not everyone has enough to enter the Mage Academy and learn to refine their abilities. Because someone’s innate magical talent can be measured using an artificer stone, magical ability can be determined from the start. Therefore, only those with sufficient talent are admitted.”(1)

“So what that Anderson guy said was right?” Shelly asked with astonishment.

“There may have been some truth to his words, but I do not agree with him,” Rowenna shook her head. “Anderson and I are both students here at the Mage Academy, and we both underwent a complete examination of our magical talents. If I remember correctly, his results were average. As for me . . . well, my results were terribly mediocre. I only just met the minimum requirements for admittance. Although I’m a half-elf, I didn’t inherit any magical strength.

“And yet, today, I am a high-level mage, and Anderson is still an apprentice mage. Why do you think that is?”

“The difference . . .” the siren thought for a moment, then smiled. “I think it’s that he claimed that fate was determined by blood, but Raphael told me that you should never throw in the towel before giving it your best effort.”

“Exactly,” The half-elf gazed at him tenderly. “That Raphael you mentioned must have been a good teacher.”

“Then, what Anderson said was wrong. A dwarf can become a mage, right? At least, Julian can; he knows so much about magic already.”

“Honestly, I haven’t thought about a situation like his before,” Rowenna mused. “If that’s his dream . . .”

Suddenly, she shook her head and looked seriously at Shelly. “That’s a question worth seeking an answer to, but don’t discuss this with Julian for the time being, alright?”

“Well, I know it would probably make him unhappy,” Shelly looked down. “So I won’t say anything.”

The half-elf nodded.

“Alright! Now, cheer up; it’s time for class.”

“You got it, teacher!” Shelly grinned.

I . . . I have no idea what an ‘artificer stone’ is . . . hopefully this will be explained more in the future.

I’m really starting to love Rowenna. I can’t wait to learn more about her!
