Lilith: Origin of Succubi

Chapter 244

Chapter 244<~> Chapter 244

Bella rocked me awake the next morning. "We're going to be stopping for a break soon." I sat up and looked around, a bit disoriented by falling asleep in the moving carriage.

I had slept in late enough that I was in my regular form again along with everyone else who had taken the potions. If there was any commotion about our features changing I had slept through it. I wasn't the only one who was still sleeping either, several of the people we rescued were just as tired after our trek from the city last afternoon.

I rubbed the crud out of my eyes and yawned. "Okay. Thanks, Bella. I'm awake."

As I usually do each morning, I pulled my status up before I even considered that I would need to choose which stats to allocate my new points to. I had gained a level after everything we had done yesterday and I hadn't had a chance to choose what stats I wanted. I was a little worried about spreading myself too thin, but a bit more endurance seems like a smart choice. The alternative would be putting more points into Strength or Magic Force but both were at one hundred, which means I've allocated nine levels of points to each of them already. I was noticing that I had allocated one hundred points to four different stats, which doesn't sound ideal. My class benefits from Strength, Magic Control, and Magic Force though so putting points into them seemed reasonable and I think getting Vitality to one hundred has saved my life a few times. I think part of me just wanted my stats to be round numbers but I knew that I shouldn't worry about that.

Okay, looking at my current spread, I got a lot of Magic Force from my class and I could improve my Strength and Speed with the new [Augment Strength] and [Augment Speed] spells I learned if I need it. Finesse I can get through [Blade Waltz] if I'm using a sword, which is probably the only thing I do that would benefit anyway. Luck and Charisma I get in massive amounts through [Being of Karma] so I don't need any additional help with that. Even though my Karma is now capped, it's still a one thousand bonus to both of them. The only things I can't improve through other means are Vitality and Endurance. Improvement to stats at lower levels is more noticeable so I would probably appreciate Endurance more but Vitality is an important stat that I shouldn't neglect either. Finishing a fight more quickly with stronger offensive stats might be more useful than going longer, but then again I am already spread thin enough that my strength is in my versatility. I might benefit the most from having the option to fight a battle of attrition. Ugh, fine. I've convinced myself. A little bit of Endurance now but I shouldn't spend too much on it. I feel bad that I wasted a level of stats on Luck early on...

I've learned so many things now that my status is becoming a bit crazy to look at. It's no wonder I'm feeling a little spread thin. Still, I think my hybrid build has been good for me so far. I closed my status and pulled back the curtain to look through the window just as I felt the carriage pull off the road and onto the bumpy hillside where we were presumably about to take a break. I was getting some interested looks from the former slaves we had rescued but I wasn't the only one. Bella and the twins were also getting a good amount of attention as well. Mimi was back to her normal form again, but I never expected her to remain transformed throughout the night like we had been.

When the carriage finally rumbled to a stop I stood up and addressed everyone. "We're going to stop here for a while so that we can talk with each of you and see what we can do to help you. Right now we're heading for Goldenhearth where we have some friends that should be able to help you. All of you are free now but that doesn't quite mean you're safe yet. We still need to find out if what happened in the capital will be enough to destroy the slaver's guild or if we need to smuggle all of you somewhere else. We'll also see if we can rotate who's forced to ride on the floor for the next leg."

There were whispers and quiet chatter but I ignored it as I opened up the carriage door and stepped into the field Cecilia had chosen to be the spot we were going to take a break. Raya, Sibyl, and Silva were already standing up and stretching from the overnight carriage ride. Silva didn't look fatigued from staying up all night, but I suppose with [Succubus Constitution] she doesn't need as much sleep at the cost of needing more lust mana instead. Getting enough sustenance might get a little complicated with the number of people we've taken with us though.

"How are you doing?" I asked the three of them.

Raya yawned. "It was pretty boring riding in the front like that. All of us stayed on the lookout for monsters but we didn't run into anything."

Sibyl nodded. "I doubt we're the only ones who rode through the night after what happened in the capital. The people ahead of us might have dealt with any roaming monsters already."

"Are you holding up okay? Did you stay up all through the night?" I asked Silva.

"Yeah, I stayed up the entire time. It wouldn't be the first time I've had to stay up through the night but it's a lot easier since the change. I'm just glad that shimmerscale potion wore off. It was weird looking like a different person for so long," Silva said.

He nodded.

"Did they tell you that it would almost certainly turn you into a woman?"

He nodded.

"Did they tell you that you would have to have sex regularly to feed on lust aspect mana?"

He hesitated then nodded. It might be weird for him, but this would be a necessary cost of the transformation. I would normally be more cautious about offering the transformation to someone this hesitant but I got the impression that he was desperate for it.

"As far as I know, it won't affect your preferences in partners. Having sex with other women or other succubi will be enough to satiate you and you'd be able to keep your member if your ideal feminine form would include one. Hopefully that makes things a bit easier," I told him.

He nodded a bit more confidently in reply.

"Do you want the transformation, to join my family, despite all of that?"

He nodded.

"Good. Then we can do the transformation for you and the burned woman today, I think I'll offer it to the others later. Does that sound okay?"

He nodded.

"Go stand by her over there," I said pointing to the burned woman. "I need to talk to someone first before we get started."

He nodded and the two of us stood up. He started walking over to the woman while I headed over to Nelly.

"Nelly, can I talk to you for a moment?"

She smiled at me. "Of course dear. Maddie, please wait here with Kal'daeryn won't you?"

The young girl nodded and apprehensively stood up and sat next to the large white tiger woman.

I pulled her off to the side where we should be out of earshot of the young girl. "So, two things. The first is that I am planning on transforming those two over there and due to how sexual the whole thing can be, I'd like you to take the young girl away so she can't watch. I can send someone with you so don't worry about that, but I need you to keep her occupied while that's happening."

"That seems simple enough," She said, agreeing easily. "What was the other thing you needed?"

"Well... the other thing is that someone needs to keep her out of it at night, but you're going to need some sustenance yourself. Would you mind getting the girl introduced to one of my other friends who can keep track of her during the, um, orgy that will probably happen soon?" Man, the woman was so motherly that it felt a bit awkward talking to her about stuff like this. At least before I've seen her in a more sexual context.

She blushed at the request and cleared her throat. "Yes, that would be appropriate. Who did you have in mind?"

"The two pantharian twins over there, Morrigan and Torien, won't need to participate in the orgy and it would probably be best for her to get to know Bella, the deerkin over there, as well too," I told her while pointing all of them out. "You don't have to participate in the orgy, but if you read the [Sexual Appetite] trait, your ability to go between sessions without 'eating' increases with each unique partner you take. It would probably be best if you and Kal'daeryn mingle a little bit while you're in safe company. Only what you feel comfortable with though, of course."

"That makes sense. I'll take care of it." She was still blushing but it looked like she had mostly regained her composure.

"What was the young girl's name again? Maddie, you said?"

"She told me her name was Madeline, but she goes by Maddie with her friends... Speaking of names, what was your name? You never told any of us."

My eyebrows rose. Ah, I forgot about that. I had been purposefully not saying my name aloud while in the city but then I haven't introduced myself to anyone since. I would have to do that soon. "My name is Lilith. It's nice to meet you," I said taking her hand and shaking it.

"And... you'll be at the orgy too... right?" she asked with a blush.

I coughed. "Uh. I will be."

"Great!" she said with a smile.
