The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 369. The Angel's Fairytale I

After those words, Celia released her arms and returned to her room to calm herself down. As usual, Foxy took the initiative to follow her. It was a huge blow for her since she thought I wouldn't leave so soon. Besides, since I had a lot to take care of in the dark dimension, I wasn't sure I could treat the dark dimension as 'my office' and go back to the human world every night.

Without a single word, I opened my portal for Ivy and Maria before I took a bath and went to bed. Even though Luna and Yuffy accompanied me, they didn't spoil me as usual since they knew Celia was in a bad mood. I also wasn't in the mood for that kind of action either. Instead, I felt a little restless about what I was going to face next.

Even though my eyes were closed, I kept turning my body, as if I was looking for a comfortable position. While the truth was, my thoughts made me unable to sleep. Guesses and questions filled my head since Alfred didn't say anything about the Dark dimension. I eagerly wanted to know what was going on, but I knew I had to hold myself back. Besides, there was fear in me. Worry to be precise. I did tell my plans to my servants with confidence, but wasn't it normal to be worried about something I didn't know? Even for a demon like me? Somehow I could understand the quote that Larry once told me.

Aside from that, the mysterious power coming from The Cursed Mountain was also bothering me. Unfortunately, my servants didn't know what was in it. What they knew was, the place had always been filled with dark miasma since thousands of years ago. The miasma was too dense and created a heavy atmosphere that could kill anyone who approached it. That was the reason why Lord Damon put his elite soldiers to guard the mountain. All of them had Lord Damon's special protection to prevent the mountain's atmosphere from engulfing their sanity. Alfred was one of them.

It took a while before I could fall asleep and just like yesterday, it was Puriel's voice that woke me up.

"--than... Ethan... Ethan, wake up or I don't want to play with you anymore."

I opened my eyes and found myself in the same empty void. The difference, it was better than yesterday. At least, it didn't look like a broken TV screen like before. That proved what Mia said was true, that her kingdom couldn't use the barrier for too long or it would take a toll on the people's bodies.

Turning to the side, I could see Puriel waiting for me to wake up. From her face, she looked excited. A smile on her lips. Lazily, I got up and sat beside her.

"You should stop waking me up like that," I complained in a flat tone. The way she called my name and her tone made me feel like a kid.

"Why?" she frowned.

"I'm not a little kid," I said with a huff.

It was a serious one yet she laughed about it.

"Not a little kid? Yeah, right." Her chuckles rang out between her words.

"How old are you? 19? 20? I'm over a thousand years old, Ethan. You're a baby for me," she added before she continued her laugh.

Even though what she said was true, it still sounded annoying to me.

"A baby acting like an adult sounds better than an old angel acting like a kid," I replied with an annoying smirk.

It managed to stop her laughter and replace it with a pout.

"I didn't," she protested. A short pause with a blush that appeared on her cheeks followed.

"I'm just a little lonely. So... Since you're my only friend, I can't help but get excited every time I use my dream spell," she admitted.

My smile faded. Her expression and attitude reminded me of Celia.

"Fine. What do you want to talk about?" I asked. I decided to accompany her before I told her my departure.

A humming sound escaped her mouth before her palms glowed and formed a book.

"How about listening to my story?" she said excitedly as she showed me her book. Her name in old writing style was on the cover.

I glanced at the book, which was thicker than the complete version of the biology dictionary, in her hand.

"That's your story?" I cringed. My index finger pointed to it.

She smiled proudly.

"Yes. I'm so bored here and need something to keep my sanity. So I decided to kill my time by writing fiction about the demon and angel. How about I read it for you?"

My eyes fell on the book. The book's thickness was scarier than my textbook. But I could understand why she did it. Maybe, I would also do the same if I was trapped like her. Since there was nothing here, I decided to listen to her. Who knew I could find something there, though I was not sure about it.

"I'm not a fan of fiction, but sure. Just tell me the good parts."

"Okay." Excitedly, she opened the book and began to read the prolog. While I lay down nonchalantly as if Puriel was reading a fairy tale to me.

As she read it for me, I couldn't help but cringe since she was self-inserting herself in her story clearly. Her story was about two secret agents of dark and light dimensions who met in the human world. Something similar to what happened between Lord Xenos and Gabrielle. The difference was, rather than a tragic romance story like them. She simply made herself the hero who kicked the other agent's ass. It was a wish-fulfillment story.

"Wait... Why do I feel that Azrael guy sounds like me?" I complained. Yeah, she named the dark dimension's agent, Azrael. While she used her own name as the light dimension's agent.

She frowned in displeasure.

"What do you mean? He is definitely different from you. Even though he is a demon prince. He is a 100% demon. Besides, he has two tails, six tentacles and six wings. Crazy, right?" she explained proudly.

'Where did her wild imagination come from?' I thought. I couldn't imagine that demon appearance at all.

"Right, no more interruptions after this! I will tell you the coolest part," she said in excitement. But before she started again I decided to tell her my departure since I didn't know when she would stop talking.

"Wait a second. I want to tell you something important."

She took a deep breath and exhaled it in annoyance.

"Say it."

"I'm going to the Dark Dimension soon," I bet this will hurt her, but I had to tell her no matter what.

And I was right... Her excitement suddenly disappeared from her face.
