Chapter 246: Morning Rain I

The Incubus System Chapter 246. Morning Rain I

The rain noises mixed with the clashing sound suddenly pierced my ears, disturbing my sleep.

‘Huh? What’s going on?’ I thought as I forced myself to open my sleepy eyes. Surprisingly rather than on the bed, I found myself already standing in an unfamiliar place.

‘Where am I?’ I thought in confusion. My eyes swept around me, but my sight only caught the trees and wet ground. Above me, the night sky was covered by thick clouds accompanied by heavy rain. The strong wind blew the leaves, the fragile branches and made the tips of the trees waving around. Occasionally, the lighting that split the sky accompanied by its loud booming sound pierced my ears.

‘How could I get here?’

I tried to collect my memory to remember why I was here, but the battle sound not far from me drew my attention to it.

In caution, I trod the wet ground, stepping the wet branches and leaves, letting the rain wet my body and the cold wind bite my skin. My eyes focused on that faint battle since the heavy rain limited my vision. The only thing I could see was a man covered in white light fighting against a group of monster-shaped creatures around him and I quickly recognized them, the Imps. But… Why didn’t my system notify me about them?

As I approached, the man who fought bravely against the demons became clearer in my sight. His body was covered in white light and a pair of strong gauntlets covered his hands to his elbows.

“Dad!” I shouted. My feet moved swiftly towards him, my worry and panic were clear on my face.

Unfortunately, he didn’t hear my scream.

– Blar!

Another lightning split the sky. The light from it exposed how bad the wounds on my father’s body were. The blood dyed his clothes and body as well as his exhausted face. I quickened my pace, strangely, even though I was running as fast as I could, I felt like running like a snail. Still, I was not giving up, I didn’t want to lose my father again. There were many things that I wanted to tell him.

When I got close to him, he had already killed all the Imps.

“Dad…” I stopped two meters behind him. My trembling eyes stared at the deep wounds on my father’s back.

“You’re late… Ethan…” he said in a weak voice.

“I’m so—” I was about to apologize but he suddenly turned around. The light on his body faded and turned into a dark aura. The white gauntlets covering his hands disappeared. His torn clothes were replaced by an expensive neat suit as if he had never fought at all. His brown hair turned dark blue with a pair of red horns and a pair of wings made of human bones behind him.

“No—Damian,” he continued. An evil smirk adorned his face which had turned into someone else’s face.

‘Lord Damon?!’ Subconsciously, I retreated slowly. My heart was pounding, my shock and confusion were clear on my face. My eyes widened. Why did my father turn into him?

He held out his hand to me with his palm facing up.

“Where are you going? Shouldn’t you be preparing yourself to rule the dark dimension in my stead— son?” His evil smirk was still on his face.

As soon as I heard how he addressed me as his son, my heart beat even faster.

“What are you talking about?” My eyes were on him.

His evil smirk widened.

“We are the same, Damian. You can’t deny it.”

‘The same?’ My steps stopped. Slowly, I raised my hands. My eyes were on my palms, staring at how they were replaced with a pair of black claws. In addition, I felt how a pair of bat wings, horns and a tail grew on my body. My body and eyes trembled either in fear or shock at my change.

Then a movement in front of me made me turn my attention to it. My heart felt like it was about to stop as I looked at Lord Damon’s cold face who was already in front of me.

“Be strong, Damian. Bring all the Demon Lords and Demonesses under your feet.”

——-

I opened my eyes and gasped. Sweat dripped down my forehead, no, but my whole body as if I had just gone through a long battle. My eyes stared at Celia’s room ceiling. The sound of heavy rain accompanied by the booming sound of thunder came from the window. Occasionally, the strong wind knocked on the window and the flash of lightning pierced through the curtains.

A long breath escaped my mouth.

‘That’s why I had a nightmare…’ I thought. I realized it wasn’t only the rain that gave me the nightmare, but I knew, deep inside my heart… Despite all the facts and truth, I still refused to acknowledge Lord Damon as my father. I was so close with my real father so even though he was dead, replacing him with another figure was not that easy.

I turned to the side, looking for Celia but she had gone. My gaze shifted on the clock.

7:34 AM

‘Of course, she’s awake.’ Previously, I thought it was still dawn since it was so dark outside.

Reluctantly, I sat down on the bed, exposing my naked torso and took a couple of deep breaths to calm myself down. A blanket still covered my waist and legs. I knew I had to get up since I had a class at 10:00 AM and I had to go to the bank, but somehow, I wanted to stay in bed longer today.

I was trying to calm myself down when the quiet sound of the door opening came and Celia entered the room.

“Oh, you’re awake.” She already wore her clothes and brushed her hair.

“Yeah,” I answered with a short answer. My voice sounded a bit gloomy.

In just a glance, she noticed my pale face and my sweat. She came over to me and sat beside me. Her eyes looked at me in a gentle gaze.

“What happened?” Her concern was clear from the tone of her voice.

“Just another nightmare,” I said as I gave her a reassuring smile.

Without saying a word, she climbed on the bed, bent her knees and hugged me gently, placing the side of my head against her chest. Her hand caressed my messy hair and her other hand hugged my back. Meanwhile, I stayed silent in submission, letting that comfortable feeling overtake my body and mind. A faint smell of soap from her body tickled my nose and the sound of her heartbeat was clear in my ear.

“Is it because of what you told me last night?” she said in a gentle tone.

“I think,” I whispered.

“Brother… No matter how tough it is… I believe you can handle it,” she said. It was a simple thing, but somehow it made me happy.

After that, we were silent. All that we could hear was the sound of the rain that didn’t seem like it would stop anytime soon. Looks like Celia realized how far I forced myself to swallow all the truth and bear the burden that suddenly fell on my shoulders. But she couldn’t say anything since this truth had hit her hard too.

After a while, I released myself from her.

“Thank you. I feel better now.” I gave her another reassuring smile to prove that I was okay. Even though I still wanted to be with her a little longer, I couldn’t be selfish. She had an exam this morning and she couldn’t be late.

“Then shall we have breakfast? Foxy is waiting for us downstairs.”

“Wait for a second, I’ll make the bed first.” I got off the bed. As my feet touched the floor, a simple black shirt and pants covered my naked body. I didn’t want to think too much so I imagined simple clothes.

But Celia answered me with a giggle.

“You can do it later. Besides—” She opened the blanket and revealed a dried bloodstain on her bed sheet.

“You can’t clean this up in seconds.”

‘How could I forget this?’ I thought with a slight cringe smile. I fell asleep right after having sex with her, I even forgot to clean the important trace about what we did last night.

“You’re right. I’ll take care of that later,” I said. Besides, I still had to take Celia to school.

“C’mon.” Celia quickly grabbed her school bag and we left the room.
