Verial looked at me quizzically, "Sire, you know that I require energy to be here in this form, why are you getting upset?" At this point, I was thinking of just saying that I don't remember anything. Because at this rate it would only be a matter of time before other demons started questioning my odd behavior. Plus, since it seems Verial is my personal servant, then I could tell him about it. "Sire, may I begin now?" Verial was still staring at me like I had completely lost it, which he wasn't entirely wrong. I kept debating about it until I finally reached a decision. I quickly accessed my home menu and tried to log out, however upon trying to log out a notification appeared and I was blocked.

"What the fuck, what's going on!" I shouted. "Sire, are you feeling unwell?" "Should I go fetch some medicine for you?" Verial responded anxiously. "No I-I just don't remember anything," I responded. Although this issue really worried me, I figured that I might as well finish my business with Verial until I could get this matter solved. And I determined that it was best to just pretend that I lost all my memories. Which technically is true, if you were to look from the original host's perspective. "Sire, you're saying that you have lost all your memories?" Verial asked questionably. "Yes, since I've woken up I haven't been able to remember a single thing," I replied somberly. Verial sighed, "Well, that explains about every odd thing you've done today. Such as wearing black in front of the mistress. I swear when I first saw you wear that I almost had a heart attack. I thought you were going to spell disaster for both of us." After Verial finished his rambling I finally asked, "So, can you please explain to me why you need to kiss me?" "Sire, I am an incubus who requires energy to sustain this form," Verial replied. "Energy to sustain your form, what do you mean?" Verial drew in a long breath before saying, "Sire, I'll just explain everything to you. You probably didn't even listen to me anyway, before you lost your memories." I frowned slightly, judging from what I've heard so far from Verial, it seems like this other Dagon was an airhead. "I am from the demon realm which is different from the underworld. There is where society can not be found and is truly the place of chaos. I'm- as I said earlier, an Incubus. And to be here in the underworld, I need energy from the summoner to maintain this form. Because this form isn't exactly physical, nor is it an illusion. I'm using the energy from you to maintain this state otherwise, I would simply just disappear." "And the only way to get my energy is to kiss me?" I asked quizzically "No, I could get energy from your finger or other areas of the body. However, it gives me more energy, since you're directly giving me energy with your mouth. This is a better method compared to getting energy from your finger, otherwise, I'd have to do it multiple times a day." "Oh, I see," I replied back. "But if you're an incubus, why are you serving me, a male?" I asked. "Well, you see, women aren't as lustful as men. Succubus, generally do better than us incubi for that reason. Unfortunately, it's reached a state where we have to pursue becoming servants for males as well, or we'll simply die out." So, in other words, incubi have no other choice but to serve for males as well because not enough females are lustful enough to have incubi for a servant. However, something that I also got out of his information is that this wasn't the demon realm. The place we're in is called the 'Underworld' which from the sound of it, seems to border between the surface and the demon realm. Meaning that it's kinda similar to Greek Mythology and Hade's underworld. Although it does have its hellish characteristics there are areas where it's not like that. Such as Elysium the blessed land of the dead. With the true hell, in my opinion, being a place like Tartarus. I believe that this could likely be compared to this world as well, except for the Greek stuff.
Shifting my focus back to the conversation, I wondered why Verial seemed to be so un demon-like. I mean, I wasn't trying to be mean or anything, but for a being from the demon world to be like this baffled me. Then again, the system had called me a demon lord so and he was my servant so it made sense he would treat me that way. I wanted to ask him why he was so unlike a demon, but I was afraid it would make me look suspicious. However, after a moment of thought, I decided that I would just use my loss of memory as an excuse. "Verial, for a demon you don't sound very well like one." Verial became startled for a moment before replying, "Well, as our race continued to live for over millennia our instinctual thoughts have lessened. Although our race still thirsts for stimulation, we have become more docile, and not as hungry as we were before. Ah, so pretty much since they've been around for such a long time, they became less hungry, and just want to enjoy the pleasures of life. "Plus, since we've been summoned to the underworld and surface many times now, we've lost some of our demon-like characteristics. Matter of fact, some succubi and incubi have been here for so long they've had their offspring here." By the sound of it, their race has become so dislodged from the demon realm that they have lost touch with their demon-like features. Not that I'm unhappy with it or anything, I wouldn't want Verial to turn crazy and start beating the living shit out of me. Before I could ponder further about his background Verial asked me, "Sire, may we please proceed now?" "Ah, uh yes," I replied back awkwardly. I admit that I was uncomfortable and quite upset that my first kiss would be stolen by a guy. But, then again he already did earlier so not as it matters anymore. I wasn't going to be a little wussy that couldn't handle being kissed by a dude, plus I would be doing it every day so it's best that I just get used to it. As I was pondering these thoughts, I suddenly felt something against my lips. I opened my mouth in surprise, which was a terrible mistake because his tongue went inside my mouth immediately afterward. 'What the hell!' 'I thought he was just going to be doing a kiss on the lip, not a full-on sex kiss.' I wanted to back off when-Oh God, my body felt stimulated. At this point, I was crying inside my brain. I couldn't believe that my body was reacting this way to a male. I could only hope that this had to due with him being an incubus, and maybe his body released certain pheromones or something.
Thankfully, it didn't last for much longer, or else my body would have reacted physically at some point. Though, this didn't save my face from blushing after he stopped. Looking at his face, he had a stimulated expression as well. Man, this felt like something straight out of a gay porno video. Thank god that no-one was recording this shit otherwise my entire livelihood would be ruined. "Hopefully, you'll get used to it sire because we must do this every day." "Ah, yes I'll be fine," I replied back. Ignoring what happened moments before, I asked Verial if there was a library in the castle. Luckily, Verial said there was and led me to it. I needed to get information regarding specifically the 'Underworld' mainly because that's where I am. I was also hoping to find general information regarding the demons and angles. When I reached the library, my first thought was, "Can this even be called a library?" I thought that the library would be huge considering the size of this castle, but instead, it was about the size of an elementary school one. It had only four shelves and a couple of books lined up on the back wall. "Uh, Verial, please tell me this is just a small section of the library?" "Sorry sir, this is the only library in the entire castle." He answered soberly. Well, there goes my dream right out the window. I was hoping to be like those cool protagonists in the novels who'd study everything for days upon days. Until they use all the knowledge they've gathered to become overpowered. However, how was I supposed to do that if they barely had any books in the first place? Being a bit curious I asked Verial, "Why do we have so few books?" "Sadly, in the Underworld and Demon Realm, few care for a trivial matter such as reading." So basically, these guys couldn't care less about books and whatnot, and probably only cared if it could give them more power or strength. Well, that's pretty disappointing, hopefully, the books that are here can at least provide me some knowledge. My biggest concern was that these books might only contain a few pages or other things that can't help me at all. "Thank you for your help Verial." "I am just doing my duty sire, all you have to do is call my name and I will be right there in a few moments." Verial swiftly replied and walked away down the hall. Man, this is a complete bummer, they didn't even label anything in the quote on quote, "Library." The books were just left to collect dust and I doubt that they've been touched since who knows when this castle was built. Sighing, I took a random guess and looked for a book that seemed big. Scanning around I noticed one book in particular that had what appeared to be a demon and an angel on it? I reached out to grab it off the shelf and took a better look at it. Indeed, the two beings on it did seem to be an angel and a demon. Opening up the front, I saw the text saying that this book covered the war between the angels and the demons. Thinking it would be interesting I decided to sit down on the nearest chair and read the book for the next few hours.
After reading through it the basic summarization would that long ago when the dragons still existed. The king of dragons had gotten so angry he smashed a hole in the ground that went so far down that it reached the demons. Now that's what supposedly happened, but I doubt it just seemed off. Either way, the demons went through this hole and in massive amounts, poured in on the surface. Just when it couldn't get any worse angels descended from the heavens to confront the demons who had invaded the surface. These poor dragons could do nothing but watch as their entire race was annihilated in the crossfire. The only dragon who could fight these demons and angels was the Mighty Black Dragon himself. He protected his race with his life for over centuries as the demons and angels fought an unseemingly never-ending war. Until finally one day where the war reached its climax and the most powerful beings of the angels and demons unleashed their ultimate power. With no other choice, the Black Dragon used everything of its life force to erect a shield over the remaining dragons on the island. The shield worked, and it protected the remaining dragons. However it came at a cost, the Mighty Black Dragon's body disappeared after the explosion. There was nothing left of the once Mighty Black Dragon. All that was left was a lone island and the remnants of the dragon race. The Mighty Black Dragon truly deserved its title.
Anyways, with the sad story being over, I checked the clock which read 11:00 p.m. (In the game world) Dang, it's got late quite quickly I told myself as I returned the book. "Verial!" I called. Before I could even blink Verial appeared right in front of me. "What the hell, how are you that fast!?" I asked startled. "Summoning magic sire, whenever you call for me I am summoned to you." 'Interesting, that could probably come in handy for the future.' "Verial, can you please take me back to my room?" "Yes sire, follow me this way," Verial responded. You would think I would know how to get back by myself now, but I still don't. This castle is simply just too huge. And admittedly, I've gotten quite fond of Verial. Although he's just my servant it's quite nice talking to him. Plus I like the idea of having a butler that only served me. Though it would have been nicer for my servant to be a maid, I'll still take a butler. As I pondered to myself, we eventually reached my room where Verial bid me a good night's rest and once again walked away down the hall. I walked into the room and was about to log off when I remembered what happened earlier. "Oh shit, I completely forgot about!" I exclaimed to myself. To test if I still had the same issue I once again tried logging out.

"Shit, you gotta be kidding me?" I asked myself. Searching through my menu I saw a feature that said "Report Issue" tapping on it I saw a text bar appear where it asked to type in my issue. I basically just wrote that I couldn't log out. When I submitted my complaint I got a notification that read, "Due to people registering their complaints, our staff team is unable to look at it right now. We'll get back to you within 24 in-game hours. Thank you for your patience." "WHAT THE HELL!" I screamed. I'm going to be stuck in this game for 24 hours, I'm not surprised, to be honest. My luck has been going downhill ever since I started playing this game. To calm myself down before I tried to go to sleep, I took some deep breaths and tried to meditate a bit. There was no use trying to get upset over it, otherwise, I would just get more worried. After I calmed myself down, I took off my clothes except for my underwear and laid down on the bed. I didn't sleep with PJs or flannels so I decided to make myself right at home. I mean, technically it's my home anyways so not like it mattered. Plus, the original Dagon seemed to sleep naked, so not like I could make it any worse. After laying there for a bit, I let my thoughts settle and I slowly dripped my eyelids and fell asleep thinking about that weird energy kiss that Verial and I shared.
