...
Dian's eyes widened as he read the contents of the screen in front of him.
"Hey, don't you think I awakened too many elements?" Dian asked, surprised.
"Host, with the help of Divine Awakening, you have awakened these elements. The highest number anyone has awakened here is four," the system replied, her tone filled with pride.
"But what's with that skill 'Lust Incarnate'?" Dian asked as he scrolled through his skills.
"Host, that skill was awakened to help you fulfill your innermost desires," the system answered, her voice carrying a hint of shyness.
"Hm? What's with your voice?" Dian asked, noticing the change.
"H-Host, I—I am a woman too, but I don't think I'll be able to fulfill your desires..." the system stammered, as two small pink marks appeared on the screen.
"Hey, what do you think of me?" Dian said, understanding her meaning.
"Okay... but what about my title? Why is it locked?"
"Host, you have to reach Mage 2nd Stage to unlock it. You don't have enough strength to handle it right now," the system explained, her tone now professional. The pink marks disappeared.
"Okay... she has mood swings. Gotta make a note of that," Dian thought as he observed the system.
His mind sifted through the memories he had received. Mage stages…
There were a total of seven, each with three sub-stages before progressing to the next major stage:
1.Novice Mage
2.Mage
3.Superior Mage
4.Grand Mage
5.Great Mage
6.Supreme Mage
7.Transcendent Mage
The most powerful man currently was the King, either at Supreme Mage 3rd Stage or Transcendent 1st Stage.
Before he could explore further, a foul stench reached his nose.
Dian looked down. His entire body was covered in a black, tar-like substance. His small pores continued to push it out like sweat.
The impurities, Dian thought. He got out of bed and went to bathe.
Inside, a large bathtub awaited him—like a pool. White expensive marble surrounded it. Gentle candlelight cast golden reflections over the water. Steam filled the entire room. As he stepped into the pool, the water stirred, wrapping around his body gently, as if alive.
"Ohhh, this feels... good," Dian said, relaxing into the warmth.
He bathed for a while, making sure every bit of black sludge was washed off. Once clean, he stepped out, wrapped a towel around his waist, and walked to the wardrobe.
As if something clicked inside him, he felt a soft, flowing energy within.
So this is mana… Dian thought as he sensed the energy pulsing alongside his veins.
He picked something to wear. By now, the sun was high in the sky.
Knock, knock.
Two soft knocks sounded on the door. Dian looked toward it and stepped forward.
The door opened, and standing in front of him was her.
Long, silky white hair cascaded down her back. Icy blue eyes, red lips, flawless skin, well-defined cheekbones, and a pleasant smile framed her expression. She wore a blue maid outfit.
"Beautiful," Dian accidentally said aloud.
The woman in front flinched at his words, a pink shade coloring her cheeks. "Y-Young L-Lord!"
"L-Lunch is served. Shall I bring it here?" she asked, her voice trembling.
A smile crept across Dian's face as he caught her stealing glances.
His memories stirred, and a name surfaced.
"Suzine," Dian said. "No, I'll come to the dining hall with you."
But she didn't hear him clearly. Her mind was a storm. Did the Young Lord just say… b-beautiful?! Her eyes flickered toward his face. He should take a look at himself, Suzine thought.
Jet-black silky hair framed his handsome face. Brown crystal-like eyes, a perfect nose and jawline, radiant white skin.
A blush deepened on Suzine's cheeks as she caught herself glancing again. W-What am I doing?!
But what can I do? He looks like a god descended… Suzine thought, as they walked to the dining hall.
"This is majestic," Dian thought as they passed through the hallway.
Long corridors lined with expensive carpets stretched out before him. Massive pillars flanked either side, and portraits of former Skyster lords and ladies adorned the walls.
He stopped in front of a tall mirror with a golden frame. His reflection stared back.
His eyes widened in shock. What the… is… is this me? Dian thought, cupping his face with both hands.
I'm too handsome! No—just calling myself handsome is an understatement. Godly… yeah, godly fits.
He caught Suzine sneaking another glance and composed himself, then continued walking toward the dining hall.
After a few lefts and rights, they reached the dining hall.
A massive space with a long table and a grand chair at the center—designed to showcase authority.
Dian strode confidently to the chair and sat down as if born to it.
Two maids arrived shortly with food trays. Suzine, the Head Maid, stood beside him.
As the maids served the food, a warm, sweet aroma filled the room. Today's dishes included meat.
The moment Dian took a bite, he froze. Sweet, spicy, and juicy flavors exploded in his mouth… and something else.
Hm? Is this mana? Dian thought.
Everything in this world contained mana—but the amount varied by substance.
Halfway through the meal, a screen popped up with a chime.
[ Ding! ]

Dian wasn't surprised. He knew the system would assign missions to help him grow stronger.
Good thing I read those novels, Dian thought.
"Hey System, how am I supposed to power up if there's no reward?" Dian asked mentally.
"There is, Host," the system replied. "The reward will vary depending on how you conquer her. Additionally, your stage can increase through intercourse with your women."
So I level up by making love, and the rewards depend on the method I use to win them over, Dian thought.
There are different ways to conquer someone—the more optimal the method, the greater the reward.
Dian's eyes shifted from his food to Suzine. She's strong… but looks so cute.
"Suzine," Dian said. "Come sit here."
He patted his lap.
Suzine's breath caught in her throat. A blush appeared on her cheeks.
She hesitated, but didn't argue. Slowly, she sat down on his lap.
Warmth surged through Dian as she settled against him. Aah! She's so soft! His instincts begged him to act, but he restrained himself.
"Now… feed me," Dian said in a voice that was barely a whisper.
Suzine flinched as his breath brushed her ear. "B-But Y-Young L—"
Before she could finish, Dian interrupted, "You're not going to feed me?"
His voice was low, laced with disappointment.
Suzine felt a pang in her chest. She quickly picked up the spoon and began feeding him.
Their bodies pressed close. Dian slipped his hands around her waist. Her heart raced as his hands touched her.
She flinched again, her face burning red—but she didn't move away. She steadied her breath and continued feeding him.
After some time, dinner was over. Dian and Suzine still sat together.
"You're so sweet, Suzine... and you smell good too," Dian whispered, licking her neck gently.
Suzine's whole body shuddered as she felt his warm tongue.
"Y-Young L-Lord…!"
