Ein had no idea what summoning an aide looked like. However, seeing the golden arcs of lightning around, he was convinced that he definitely pulled quite a good one.
When the explosion of light faded, at the spot where the golden arcs of electricity had gathered before now stood an imposing figure.
"Are you my master~?" The figure said in a sensual voice.
Blood-red shoulder-length wavy hair matches both her sharp eyes and lush lips, and a pair of curved horns adorn both sides of her head. Her bountiful chest was squeezed between the half-opened black suit top like it was about to burst, with a deep valley in the middle. A short dark-gray skirt that almost hid nothing from sight, displaying her plump thighs and long legs.
If Ein were to find a creature that resembled her the most, then it would be a succubus without a doubt. He couldn't help but gulp as she crossed her arms, supporting the heavy and bouncy mountains atop it.
After staring down Ein from head to toe, the succubus showed a wide smile, as if she had just found herself a new toy. Ein, on the other hand, was reading a new window that appeared after the succubus was summoned successfully. His mouth was hanging agape.
[Name: Lilith
Race: Demon (Succubus)
Rank: Legendary
Note: A legendary figure in the sixth demon world who usurped the power from all 13 demon kings simultaneously, reigning over the world as the absolute queen and ruler for 666 years.]
"You're a human being, right~?" Lilith said as she slowly walked towards Ein. Various places were bouncing together with her every step. "I wonder how a human became a dungeon master~?" She giggled sweetly.
Large beads of sweat fell from Ein's forehead as he looked at her and the information about her back and forth.
Ein did remember asking for a lucky draw, but he may have used up all his luck and was about to die right this instant. Legendary! A being that can make demon lords kneel before her! And that being is literally an arm's length away from him right now!
Lilith pulled Ein's chin as she studied his face from close proximity. As she was taller than Ein, the scene looked as natural as it could be, even if the supposed roles were the other way around.
Ein felt like a rat being stared at by a venomous snake. His body froze up from an indescribable fear. With just a little snap, she could probably break his neck instantly. Lilith, on the other hand, was focused on something as she stared at his face.
"Amazing! You're really still a human despite becoming a dungeon master~!" She suddenly shouted excitedly. "The way the two identities intertwine inside you looks interesting too~," she added.
After she got out of her trance, she noticed Ein's current physical state.
"Ara~, did you get hard after getting touched~? How cute~!" Lilith joked, seeing him standing like a stone statue.
She then took a few steps back and waved her arm horizontally. Ein felt like something invisible was rushing back toward Lilith. A moment later, the pressure within the room returned to normal. Ein, who was finally able to breathe, fell to his knees as he gasped for air.
"I retracted my aura; this should be fine now, right?" Lilith said, looking down at Ein.
Although her tone was still the same, the weird, sensual feeling he got from listening to her voice vanished completely. 'Is that the effect of her aura too?' Ein wondered.
"You probably read my information already, but let me introduce myself once again," Lilith said while flicking her hair back.
"You can call me Lilith. As you have read, I once usurped demon kings' authority in the past." She smiled as she placed a hand on her waist.
"However, you can rest assured." She smiled. "As long as the contract between me and you is in place, I can't do anything against you, even if I want to." A hint of desire flashed in her eyes.
Ein knew nothing about the strength of the contract between them. However, instinctively, he felt that Lilith genuinely had no intention of bringing him any harm.
After taking a few deep breaths, Ein finally stood up and introduced himself.
"My name's Ein. As you have probably guessed, I am a human and also this dungeon's master." He said, "As it is my first time summoning an aide, can you please explain to me what you can do?"
"Of course," Lilith replied.
"An aide is basically a secretary if we use your world's standards. You can delegate tasks you deem troublesome or that take too much of your precious time to us," she explained. "Also, aides can access the system menu in a similar way to Master, the only difference is that we can't spend DP without express permission from you."
"Does Lilith have any experience as an aide before?" Curiously, Ein asked.
"I had, of course. Last time, I was assigned to manage 10 dungeons simultaneously. It was quite tiring but fulfilling work," Lilith said before sighing, "However, that dungeon master was too lazy and ended up getting killed by an invader while he was sleeping."
Ein was genuinely surprised to know that a being that doesn't even need sleep died while doing so.
"Lilith, let me confirm first." Ein raised his hand, interrupting Lilith. "Do you contribute to the dungeon's upkeep?" he asked nervously.
A magic circle for wolves already needs over a thousand DP to maintain. If Lilith, a legendary rank aide, needed upkeep, then he would probably be bankrupt in just one night.
"Ara, didn't you know? Only implements that use mana from the dungeon constitute its upkeep. Things like summoning circles and magic traps add a large chunk to the upkeep," she explained gently. "I don't usually contribute to the upkeep, but if I ever become extremely injured, then to heal my injuries I would need to borrow some mana from the dungeon. It'll probably take me about 10 million DP to recover? Around that amount."
'I'll be bankrupt if she ever gets injured!' Ein thought. Assuming that a full body healing takes 10 million, then a slight scratch to her would probably cost thousands of DP to recover! Thinking of the unknown effect of having zero DP, he couldn't help but ask about it.
"Nothing will happen, actually. If your DP went below zero, then all items that require upkeep from the dungeon will stop working temporarily until you can recover to the positives. Just like a credit card going over the monthly limit," she chuckled. "What? You thought you'd die or something?"
Ein felt embarrassed as she hit the mark. He then cleared his throat before speaking.
"Thanks for answering my questions. Do you have any questions for me?" he asked.
"Of course. What should I do for now?" Lilith asked, tilting her head slightly.
Hearing her question, Ein pondered his choices. For now, his priorities would be to create a stable DP farm, enhance the dungeon's defenses, and prepare for his travel to the human city. After thinking for a while, he finally decided.
"Okay, I'll assign you to first think of a way to implement a semi-permanent DP farm," he commanded. "You can check my makeshift DP farm in the next room as a reference," he added.
"Do you have a limit to the DP budget?" Lilith asked.
"For now, since I'm tight on funds, limit it to below 10,000 DP." Ein nodded his head.
He was currently almost DP-less. The trickle of DP from the hunting squad was the only thing that added to it at the moment. Depending on the efficiency of the DP farm that Lilith can think of, he could probably go to the city within three days at most.
After receiving her orders, Lilith immediately walked toward the teleportation array. Ein stared at her sexy departing figure before letting out a long sigh and shaking his head.
