Kapitel 12: Chapter 12: Fate
'Why!?'
Eileen had a confused look on her face.
She hadn't even considered the possibility that Reji was siding with humans.
Just puzzled.
For this, Reji naturally couldn't use his real thoughts and had to find another angle to convince her.
'Still the old strategy'
For a succubus, there's no better method than love.
"Eileen, as I've said before, you are mine, the only one, my lover."
"So I won't allow my beloved woman to charm or seduce others! Even if it was a life and death situation!"
Such a statement might be too overbearing for humans, but for a succubus, it's just right, fitting for a Demon King.
When Eileen previously brought up serious matters, mentioned humans, she was indeed full of deep hatred and malice.
But once everything shifted to her and Reji.
The succubus immediately reverted back to that docile little lamb.
It's not surprising that Eileen felt warm inside, her cheeks blushing red, given how much the Demon King appreciated and cherished her.
After all, throughout the entire history of the demon race, there had never been a Demon King who asked a succubus to give up her strongest "charm" ability.
However.
Just as Eileen was about to retort something, Reji seemed to anticipate this and immediately added: "No charm spells without physical contact either!"
"…"
Seeing how serious and earnest Reji was, Eileen reluctantly lowered her antelope horns a bit, looking somewhat pitiful.
Eileen wanted to refuse rationally.
After all, their existence as succubus is to disrupt the enemy from within.
But in the end, emotions took over.
After all, Which succubus wouldn't like such a monogamous and domineering Demon king?
"Eileen, your task is to watch our rear, that's all."
"You don't need to worry about the front lines, and I won't allow you to secretly contact any human male behind my back!"
"What about human females then?"
Eileen tentatively struggled.
After all, the succubus's charm doesn't necessarily have to be directed at the opposite sex; it can be just as effective, if not more so, between the same sex.
Unfortunately.
Eileen was met with a glare from Reji.
"Not allowed!"
Having been denied the initial ritual with Reji and now being forbidden from the front lines, Eileen knew all these were demonstrations of Reji's love and care for her, yet she couldn't help feeling a bit moody.
Seeing the succubus pouting unhappily, Reji felt he should offer something to make up for it.
After a brief hesitation, Reji made a promise to Eileen.
"I'll capture some human nobles later as compensation for you, to entertain you. Is that okay?"
There are good and bad people among humans.
Especially among the nobility.
Loving royal couples like Reji had previously mentioned are rare.
In the first round of the story, Reji encountered many nobles who were no less dark than demons, even more evil, making Reji wish he could personally enter the game and punish the despicable nobles.
For example, the countess who bullied the protagonist and called off their engagement at the start of the first round.
Giving these heartless evildoers to Eileen for her entertainment was something Reji could accept, also serving as deserved punishment for their wicked deeds.
On the other side, after receiving Reji's promise, Eileen was as happy as a little girl receiving a gift.
The succubus moved forward to hug Reji, her lips burning with passion, planting a fierce kiss on Reji's cheek.
'Cough!'
'Hold on!'
'I Must keep cool!'
Afraid that he might not be able to resist if Eileen stayed any longer, Reji took advantage of the succubus's satisfaction to have her leave first, so he could rest alone for a while.
And tell Eileen, about an hour later, to notify the other eight apostles to come to the Demon King's Palace for a formal meeting. The topic of the meeting will be what he and Eileen just discussed—allowing the demon race to return to the world.
Excited, Eileen left the room upon receiving the command.
Finally.
Alone in the Demon King's chamber, Reji let out a long sigh of relief and collapsed onto the bed, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders.
But he couldn't relax too much.
After all, he couldn't always rely on Hektor's domain to bluff his way through.
After returning to the human world, it wouldn't be possible to just show up with his stats all at one; it would be too embarrassing for an "ancestor" like himself.
Truly strengthening himself is Reji's current priority.
Soon, Reji sat up again and hurriedly began to study his golden finger.
'Fate Track—Demon King'
The so-called "Fate Track" is actually similar to a profession.
And his "Demon King" fate track was not present in the game, belonging to one of the few completely unknown directions to Reji.
Reji closed his eyes and concentrated his mental energy. He soon felt as if his soul had reached another dimension, within the sea of his consciousness, there was a vague trajectory line.
The shape of the trajectory was uncertain.
The destination of the trajectory was also unknown.
The only certainty was that he was currently standing at the starting point of the trajectory, and there was a star shining and revolving around him.
This scene was not unfamiliar to Reji.
It was identical to the "Fate Track" development interface in "Magic Chronicles."
Having inherited the game system, Reji needed no exploration and could immediately see the related description by placing his consciousness on it.

>>
There are seven stars in total, with the ones beyond the first three all being question marks.
However, that's not important.
Just the activation effects of the first three stars alone were enough to astound Reji.
No, not even the first three.
'Just the effect of the first star, is this for real? Are these values seriously not made up!?'
Reji confirmed repeatedly, making sure he hadn't misread.
'10000%'
'Four zeros'
'Ten thousand percent!'
'Meaning all basic rewards I receives will be increased... by a *hundred times*!??'
