Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 15

The Rebirth of a Dedicated Reader – Part 15

<―>

A beautiful woman slowly opens her eyes, bathed in the warm sunlight streaming through the window.

Though still drowsy with sleep, her sparkling red eyes were exceptionally beautiful.

Rustle―.

As she slowly raises her upper body, a cascade of silver hair spills down with a soft rustling sound.

Even a simple yawn and stretch were strangely alluring and captivating, each gesture and action filled with a subtle sensuality.

“You’re awake.”

“Uh… yeah.

Did you sleep well?”

“I slept well, but I’m not feeling so good right now.”

Anxiety was evident in his reply.

Lilith tilted her head and approached Zion, who was standing by the window, intently watching something.

He was staring intently at a certain spot with sharp eyes, where an elderly man and a young woman were standing.

‘This feels really ominous.’

Raidou has come again.

He’s a man who lives as he pleases and clearly has mental issues, but he’s definitely not one to come and go frequently.

In other words, the fact that he, who visited the castle two days ago, has reappeared means there’s definitely another reason.

‘Even Lucia is here.

What on earth is going on?’

He tried to rack his brain, but nothing immediately came to mind.

However, Zion’s predicted reasons were mainly two.

One was to discuss the upcoming war with the Lichten Margrave [a noble title in some European countries, similar to a Marquis].

And the other was…

“…Why, why are you looking at me like that?”

“…”

“What is it?

Don’t tell me you want to do it again from the morning?”

Ah, of course, Lilith’s disheveled appearance was truly captivating enough to make his little guy stand up straight.

She wasn’t wearing a single thread and was only slightly covering her chest with her hair, so if a man didn’t react to that scene, he was as good as dead.

“I, it’s not like I like you that much, but it’s okay if you want to.”

“Later.

More importantly, Lilith.

About what you said yesterday.

About being trapped somewhere.

Can you tell me more about it?

In as much detail as possible.”

Zion was hoping that there might be something in the story that matched the contents of the novel.

Lilith nodded and began to tell her story.

She was suddenly attacked, most of her mana was taken away, and she was sealed in a temple of unknown origin.

Then, she sensed an enormous flow of mana around her and gradually absorbed it, aiming for a single chance to escape, and finally, she broke through the seal in response to someone’s intense call.

“That was you.”

“Yeah.

I think it was because you were the one who strongly desired something within a certain distance.”

Was my desire to become stronger that great?

Scratching his head, Zion carefully examined Lilith’s words.

In the novel, she appears after the fall of the Klausen territory and its incorporation into the Nudia Kingdom.

The story ended with a Nudia knight investigating the temple and suddenly being attacked by something, and soon after, that knight appeared before Kim Yu-hyun as Lilith’s puppet.

‘I’m concerned that Lilith appeared earlier than in the novel, but…

She was just a woman obsessed with Kim Yu-hyun, and she ends up being killed by the Celestials later anyway.

It’s not really a big problem.’

Having a Succubus Queen by his side was a great advantage.

Her simple strength was above average, but more than anything, she was particularly skilled in mental attacks due to the nature of a succubus [a demon in female form believed to have sexual intercourse with men in their sleep].

Even Kim Yu-hyun, who had been trained in all sorts of extreme situations, was tormented by her mental attacks, so that says it all.

He still had no improvement in his mana deficiency and stamina issues, but if he had a strong shield by his side, he could feel a little more at ease.

“By the way, Lilith.

Wouldn’t it be better if you put on some clothes?”

“Clothes?”

“Yes.

You’re not going to live like that, naked, are you?”

“Hmm… I guess so.

Humans are much more concerned about clothes than I thought.

To be honest, it seems like a lot of trouble.

Who cares who sees what, why are you so concerned about clothes?”

“I’m not that extreme either.

I’m just saying we should cover up what needs to be covered as a courtesy to each other.”

“Hee?”

“What?

Are you jealous that other men will get turned on by my body?”

With those words, Lilith suddenly clung to Zion.

Soft breasts brushed against him, and a sweet fragrance stung his nose, fiercely shaking his reason.

“Did you like it?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me.

Did you like me?

Last night, I mean.”

At her question, Zion, suddenly embarrassed, cleared his throat and nodded in response.

If she asked if he liked it, wouldn’t it be obvious?

He had held such a beautiful woman, even one called a goddess, in his arms for the first time in his life.

“Then, do you want to monopolize me?”

“…Would it be a problem if I said yes?”

“No, not at all.

Rather, it’s natural.

Since we made a contract, I’m now bound to you.

If you had said you didn’t want to monopolize me, I would have felt pathetic.”

Lilith moved and sat on the edge of the bed.

Then, she slightly crossed her legs, revealing the graceful curve of her hips and her smooth thighs and calves without reservation.

She deliberately revealed and covered her private parts as if to show them off, and Zion was having a hard time as his manhood kept standing up.

“Hehe.

You shouldn’t get so excited already, okay?

Yesterday, I didn’t have much mana left, so my instincts were strong and my reason was paralyzed, but it wasn’t even my heat cycle.

What are you going to do when I go into heat?”

What happens then, we can think about it then.

Zion simply shrugged, with the mindset that he wasn’t really impotent and could still do the deed even then.

“Alright!

Now, what should I do?

Since we made a contract, I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.

That’s how I can keep receiving your essence and maintain my true form.”

“For now, just stay by my side.”

“…Wow.

Was that line prepared?

It was just for a moment, but my heart fluttered.”

Lilith, with a captivating smile, stretched out her arms towards Zion.

Just as Zion shrugged and was about to hug her.

“Young Master.

It’s Sebastian.”

Pooh!

Zion, brought back to the harsh reality from a pink flower garden, coughed as if he had choked.

Even though Lilith was staring at him with a look that said, ‘What the hell is wrong with you all of a sudden?’, he didn’t pay any attention and cleared his throat before opening his mouth.

“What is it?”

“The Margrave has left word that you are to come to the reception room in 30 minutes.”

“Okay.

Tell him not to worry, I’ll be there on time.”

“Understood, Young Master.”

Zion was on edge, thinking that it would be a super disaster if Sebastian entered the room, but fortunately, Sebastian retreated obediently, thinking that it was not polite to enter the little master’s room from the crack of dawn.

“What?

Why were you so nervous?”

Lilith poked Zion’s chest with her finger.

Perhaps she heard the sound of the other person’s heart beating rapidly.

Zion sighed and said.

“There are monsters swarming around me.

I can’t live in peace.”

“Hmph?

Just tell me.

This older sister will catch them all for you.”

“Even if you can handle two of them, the other one might be a bit difficult for you.”

“Listen to how he talks?

Just because I was under you yesterday doesn’t mean you can look down on me?

Come on.

I’m the Succubus Queen.

The highest-ranking demon!

Huh?”

I know very well that you’re the highest-ranking demon, and even called a demigod.

But the problem is, even you end up getting severely educated by Kim Yu-hyun and run away to heal your wounds, only to be killed by the Celestials.

‘From the start, our compatibility was terrible.’

Even though she’s a Succubus Queen, she’s still a succubus.

A demon who excels more in mental attacks than in close combat.

But Kim Yu-hyun had been transferred to another world twice and had gone through all sorts of things, so his mentality was made of vibranium [a fictional metal in the Marvel Comics universe known for its strength and energy absorption].

He was someone who faithfully adhered to the motto of ‘I don’t enjoy killing, but I never avoid situations where I have to see blood,’ and unlike the typical protagonist of an otherworld transfer story, he even had a ruthless side.

Of course, Lilith’s mental attacks might have worked at first, but after Kim Yu-hyun developed resistance, she just became a mentally ill stalker who followed him around.

‘Still, the other characters couldn’t handle Lilith’s mental attacks.

This is a really great card for me.’

I feel relieved thinking that I’ve gained at least one more life.

Even though the Succubus Queen Lilith, whose beauty was acknowledged by any rational being, even the Celestials, as comparable to their own, was by his side, Zion simply regarded her as a ‘one-coin’ character [a term referring to something easily replaceable or disposable].

“Lilith.

You can transform, right?”

“Huh?

Of course, I can.

But… how did you know that?”

“I just saw it in a book.”

“Liar.

What do humans know about transformation, the second weapon of succubi after seduction, that they would write about it in a book?

Tell this older sister honestly.

How did you know?”

Heup.

Lilith suddenly grabbed his manhood tightly, causing Zion to groan.

Her touch was so blatant and aggressive that blood rushed to his head in an instant, and his manhood stood up stiffly.

At the sight, Lilith laughed and said.

“Do you want to do it that badly with me?

Uh-huh?”

“T, this is just a natural physiological reaction.

It’s no different from saliva coming out when food enters your mouth.”

“You talk a good game.

So, you’re saying you don’t want to do it more with this older sister?

I’m always ready to accept you.

Even if you just touch me a little, wouldn’t there be a flood?”

Zion barely managed to suppress his reason as Lilith’s voice, slightly mixed with a nasal tone, seemed to bewitch and seduce him.

For humans, sexual desire is a basic and primal desire that is almost impossible to control.

But Zion had a simpler and more intense desire than that.

That was the desire to survive.

“Now is really not the time.

More importantly, please transform quickly.”

“Tch…

Alright.

But I’ll make sure to get it all back later with interest, so keep that in mind!”

With that shout, Lilith asked who she should transform into.

A village girl?

A maid in the castle?

His veiled fiancée?

Or a weekend drama woman who suddenly appears with a child and shouts, ‘This is your child!’?

“The human that Lilith will transform into is this person.”

The moment Zion handed over the other person’s rough information and a roughly drawn portrait.

“…Hey, you crazy bastard.

Are you out of your mind?”

Lilith genuinely cursed.

―

The reception room located inside the Klausen County castle.

It was a space that was rarely used because there were hardly any visitors due to it being a border region.

“It would have been nice if I could have used this place as my laboratory.”

“I’ll decline.

I don’t want to see my castle destroyed.”

Raidou chuckled at Lichten’s sincere joke and slapped Kim Yu-hyun’s back, who was sitting quietly next to him.

It was literally a ‘slap,’ so Kim Yu-hyun frowned with all sorts of expressions, glaring at his master to stop, but Raidou was still laughing and hitting his back.

Thwack!

Thwack!

It wasn’t like a weak old man was hitting him, but a monster who had made the continent roar with martial arts was wielding it, so it wasn’t just a level of tapping him because it was funny, but a threshing that would half-kill a person.

Margrave Lichten, who was seriously worried that his master and disciple would start a sword fight and fist fight in his castle again, quickly opened his mouth.

“You’ve come twice in two days.

What’s the sudden occasion?”

“About the unidentified temple I was investigating the other day.

Something escaped from there.”

“Yes?”

“And the traces of it, though very faint, led to near this castle.

Of course, the traces were completely erased after that.”

Lichten’s expression also hardened at Raidou’s serious voice.

The reason why Raidou was staying in his territory was to investigate that temple.

Something suddenly escaped from such a place and the traces led near the castle.

A strange sense of unease seemed to sweep through his heart.

“Well, don’t worry too much.

You little punk.

What’s there to worry about when your brother is here?”

“…The part where I have to trust Raidou is the most worrying.”

“Pfft!”

A mysterious woman sitting next to him burst out laughing at Margrave Lichten’s joke, which was also mixed with sincerity.

The Margrave glanced at her for a moment, then slightly lowered his head and opened his mouth.

“It’s been a while, Miss Lucia.”

“Have you been well, Margrave?”

“I’ve been living without any problems.

More than that, I didn’t expect you to accompany Raidou.”

“Ah, well, you see.

There’s someone I’ve been wanting to see.”

“Someone you want to see?”

“Ahem!

Lichten, you bastard!

More than that, when is your son, who I called for, coming!

Why isn’t he here!”

“He should be almost here by now.”

Knock, knock―.

“Father.

It’s Zion.”

As soon as the Margrave finished speaking, Zion’s voice was heard from outside the reception room.

The door opened as soon as the answer to come in was given, and Zion, dressed in uniform, entered.

Then, he greeted Raidou as soon as he made eye contact.

“Raidou.”

“Welcome, you damn s… son.”

Raidou, who mumbled the words vaguely, glanced at Lucia, who was sitting next to him.

The eyes of his daughter, who had been calm until just now, were sparkling excessively.

He wanted to shout ‘That damn thief!’ at Zion, but if he did, he would be subjected to a 6-night, 7-day nagging full course from Lucia, so Raidou kept his mouth shut.

Meanwhile, a knight followed Zion into the room.

The knight, who had the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged man, quietly followed Zion until he made eye contact with Kim Yu-hyun.

“…”

“…”

At that moment, a strange light flashed in Kim Yu-hyun’s eyes, and almost simultaneously, a red aura briefly lingered in the eyes of the middle-aged male knight before disappearing.
