Chapter 502: Ruin and Reward(2)
"Look like you still haven’t given up your thought on controlling me, my little whore. Let’s see what else you have up your sleeve."
Alex leaned back on the bed, his smirk fading slightly as he stared at the system screen. The 89% progress on the succubus mission bothered him more than he wanted to admit.
"Oh, darling," A soft, sultry laugh echoed in his mind, familiar, teasing, and slightly mocking. "You really are adorable when you’re this confident. 89% and you already think you’ve won? A succubus, even a youngling, isn’t so easily subdued. She’ll have you wrapped around her finger before you even realize it if you keep rushing like this."
"Ohh, you finally decided to show yourself, huh?" Alex replied, a hint of genuine happiness in his voice. "I was starting to think you were sleeping again."
"And what about her? I already have her completely wrapped around my finger. She will come running wherever I order her to. She even let me fuck her while her son lay there screaming in pain... How much more subdued can she get?"
"Careful, my impatient little predator. That’s exactly how they trap men like you. One moment you’re on top, the next you’re her eternal pet. Succubi don’t just take bodies... they take souls."
"You’re lucky you encountered just a halfling, who still hasn’t awakened her full power. And she is very good practice for you... to get familiar with others. But never underestimate her."
"There are more like her in this world?" Alex asked, surprised as well as curious.
"Not just like her, darling. There are real succubi... stronger, much older, more powerful..."
Lilith’s voice dropped into a serious, almost warning tone.
"So powerful that if you met them now, they would break you in a single night. You’d wake up the next morning as their devoted, mindless slave, begging to serve them for the rest of your existence. They don’t seduce men... they consume them completely."
"And you’re about to step foot in the real world, darling. You will come into their radar immediately. And for men like you..." she giggled, the sound both seductive and warning.
"They will actively hunt for you. Strong, ambitious, and unclaimed? You’re prime prey for the older ones. They love breaking promising young men like you."
Alex’s expression grew serious as he realized the dangers of the world he was entering. The system had given him power, but it had also painted a target on his back.
"I have to become stronger as fast as possible," he muttered, his voice firm with determination. "I can’t afford to be weak in this game."
"Yes. And you’re the most laziest in this department," Lilith scolded him again, her voice carrying a mix of amusement and genuine disappointment. "A mission that you should have completed long ago only finished now. Rushing into tasks you shouldn’t, and relaxing on the ones you should have actively pursued... Really, darling? I expected better from my chosen predator."
She opened the mission panel, the glowing interface floating in front of Alex.
[MISSION: SWEET REVENGE]
[Targets: Sophia Blackwood & Marcus Steele.]
[Objective: Complete their humiliation and downfall.]
[Progress: 100% Complete.]
Lilith’s tone softened into something almost proud.
"But I must admit... you completed it beautifully. The way you broke them both... the son watching his mother surrender, the mother choosing pleasure over family... it was masterful. You turned their world upside down without needing to lift a finger against them directly. Very elegant."
Alex leaned back with a satisfied smile.
"I was taking my time with this one," he replied. "I wanted to savor it."
Lilith chuckled softly.
"You got really good rewards for this, and even I got a few parts of my power back," she muttered, sounding pleased.
Alex raised an eyebrow, curious.
"How powerful are you now?"
Lilith interrupted him before he could finish the question.
"Let’s check your rewards first, darling. We can talk about me later."
She opened the reward panel with a dramatic flourish, the glowing interface expanding in front of Alex.
[Special Reward 1: 15,000 CP]
Alex’s eyes lit up with excitement at first, but his expression quickly turned to disappointment.
"That it? In the special reward category?" he said, his tone genuinely let down. "After everything I went through with this mission?"
Lilith laughed softly, cutting him off.
"Hold your horses. This is just the first one."
The interface shifted, revealing the next reward with elegant, glowing text.
[Special Reward 2: Pleasure Dominion System]
[Description: A unique support system that rewards you with CP (Conquest Points) based on your intimate interactions with women. The closer the relationship, the higher the rewards.]
[Harem Members: High CP yield (maximum efficiency)]
[Subordinates/Lovers: Medium CP yield]
[Casual Encounters: Low CP yield]
[Bonus Conditions: Emotional connection, public risk, power imbalance, and repeated conquests can multiply rewards significantly.]
Alex’s face lit up with genuine excitement as he read the details.
"Yes. This is what deserves the category of special rewards," he said, a wide grin spreading across his face.
"I won’t lack CP anymore!" he declared loudly, almost laughing with satisfaction.
Lilith’s voice turned slightly teasing but firm.
"You will not get points or money from the system anymore. Those days are over. From now on, everything you earn will come from your own actions... your own conquests."
"I don’t need the mission to give me points either. I can earn as much as I like from the Pleasure Dominion System alone," he said, suddenly stopping as the realization hit him.
"Wait a minute... I wouldn’t even get money?"
"Not even money," Lilith teased back, her voice playful. "Now you have to earn it, darling."
[DING!!!]
A new notification appeared on the system screen.
[NEW MAIN MISSION TRIGGERED]
[MISSION: BUILD YOUR EMPIRE]
[Description: You have graduated from Blackwood University. It is time to step into the real world and establish your own power base. Create a legitimate establishment (business, organization, or enterprise) and make it famous. Your empire begins here.]
[Mission 01: Register the Establishment]
[Objective: Officially register your chosen business or organization within 7 days.]
[Reward: New System Feature Activation - Empire Builder]
[Failure Penalty: Loss of system support for 30 days]
Alex stared at the new mission notification, a thoughtful expression crossing his face.
He had finally graduated from Blackwood University. The college days were truly over. It was time to step into the real world and build something of his own.
But not today.
"Let’s do it later," he muttered, dismissing the mission screen with a casual swipe. His focus shifted back to the present. "I have to farm a lot of points from my dear Natalia first."
He leaned back on the bed, a predatory smile forming on his lips.
"Hey, Lilith," he said internally. "Being a succubus will give me more points, right?"
Lilith’s sultry laugh echoed in his mind, warm and approving.
"Yes, darling," she replied, her voice like velvet. "A succubus like her will give you significantly higher rewards. The more you conquer her, the more points you’ll earn. Just remember to be careful... she’s still dangerous."
Alex’s smirk widened as he imagined the possibilities.
"Perfect."

Natalia stepped into the quiet ballroom, still carrying her son in her arms. The grand space was silent, only the soft glow of chandeliers and the faint echo of her footsteps on the polished floor.
She gently laid Marcus on one of the large tables, his body limp and unconscious.
With careful hands, she examined him once more... checking his pulse, the bruises on his face, the broken ribs, and the fresh gashes from the medicine’s side effects.
"I’m really sorry, my son," she murmured softly, her voice filled with genuine regret as she brushed a strand of hair from his swollen face. "For you seeing your mother like this today... And I’m ashamed for enjoying it even more. But you kinda deserved it..."
She paused, her fingers lingering on his cheek.
"But don’t worry. You will not remember it for long. And we will be the same again... mother and son, like we were before."
When she was finally satisfied that nothing life-threatening had happened to him, she reached for her handbag, which she had dropped near the entrance when she first arrived. She opened it and took out a small, elegant vial of healing medicine.
With steady hands, she injected the glowing liquid into his arm, watching as the medicine began to work its magic. The gashes started closing, the swelling reduced, and his breathing became steadier.
Marcus’s eyes fluttered open, his gaze unfocused and confused as he looked up at his mother. The pain in his body was still there, dull but persistent, and tears welled up in his eyes as the fragmented memories started flooding back.
Natalia gently stroked his hair, her voice soft and soothing.
"What happened, my son?" she whispered, her tone filled with maternal concern. "Why are you crying... A nightmare?"
Marcus tried to speak, but his voice was weak and broken. The memories felt jumbled... the fight, the humiliation, his mother with Alex... but they were already starting to blur at the edges.
