Trapped as an NPC in a Dating Sim

“Tsk…it seems I can’t stay any longer.”

As the fissures rapidly expanded around them while crackling sounds echoed everywhere, Lilith finally reined in her anger and looked at Soren again.

“Well, your guess was correct. Human, you are very lucky to stand in the presence of the Demon Lord, Lilith, today.”

She confirmed his guess before slowly walking toward Soren, who still couldn’t move.

Then once she was close enough, she raised the same hand she had pricked earlier and lightly placed her finger on Soren’s forehead.

“So, as a reward, I’ve decided you are quite suitable to become my servant. Rejoice, for today I will not kill you.”

She then gave him a faint smile, as if she hadn’t just spoken the cruelest words imaginable to him.

’Fuck…this is bad.’

Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful her smile was, Soren wasn’t feeling any of it.

If anything, he was panicking, rightfully so.

How could he not when he already felt something condense at the tip of Lilith’s finger, slowly pushing into his forehead.

Something dark and ominous enough that his instincts were already screaming at him to get away.

’System, use GAP Stat on my Class, fast.’

In the end, Soren grew increasingly anxious and urgently called out to his system. Up until now, he hadn’t used any of his cheats, afraid that Lilith might pick up on his abnormal behavior and become even more interested.

But now that things had escalated to this point, he could only try his best.

Although he was still nothing even after his class evolution, maybe he could gain some time.

Time for those fissures to spread and shatter the domain he was trapped in.

Looking at Lilith, she clearly came here through some strange method and couldn’t remain forever.

Although it was only a sliver of hope, it was still better than being controlled by a Demon Lord like this.

Ding!

As soon as Soren gave the order, the system immediately sent a prompt into his mind.

Only…the content was wildly different from what he had expected.

In fact, it was so absurd that Soren stood frozen in shock, allowing Lilith to press that thing on her finger directly into his forehead without any resistance.

—

[Warning!]

[It has been detected that an S-rank Demon Seed is invading your mind.]

[Do you wish to use your Unique Skill: Core Infusion to refine it?]

[It is suggested to refine it in time to avoid being controlled or affected.]

—

*Boom!*

As soon as the foreign object entered his mind, Soren felt something settle deep within his consciousness.

A faint chill spread through his thoughts for a brief moment before everything slowly calmed again.

It didn’t move or try to invade him further, yet its presence remained firmly rooted inside his mind.

And even then, Soren surprisingly managed to remain calm throughout. All because of the weird prompt he got.

He never thought his Unique Skill could refine a demon seed, given by Lilith, a demon lord nonetheless.

’Wasn’t this Unique Skill a bit too powerful?’

Soren wasn’t complaining.

Of course, he didn’t directly refine the seed right now, though. That would be too foolish.

Instead, he slowly relaxed, staring blankly at Lilith, who looked thoroughly satisfied.

To be honest, he tried hard not to show the hatred on his face, yet the twitching of his lips still betrayed his feelings.

“Pfftt… don’t give me such a look, boy. I am not controlling you, am I?”

Lilith gave Soren’s cheek a light, playful tap before slowly walking away, her ample chest swaying gently with each step.

“Besides, if you learn how to use that seed of mine properly, you might become far stronger than you are now.”

She spoke with a soft giggle, clearly finding Soren’s reaction amusing. It was the first time she found a human somewhat charming, someone who perfectly fit her tastes.

It seemed her visit this time wasn’t for nothing.

*Crack!*

Unfortunately, looking at the surroundings now completely covered in fractures, she could no longer remain on the 10th Floor of the Abyss.

“Okay, your name is Soren, right? Let’s meet again another time once you become a bit stronger.”

Lilith smiled before lowering her voice into a faint whisper.

“Till then, don’t die.”

The moment those words fell, her figure slowly began to dissolve before Soren’s eyes, fading away bit by bit until not even a trace of her presence remained.

*Crack!*

Almost simultaneously, the domain around them finally reached its limit.

The countless fractures spreading across the space instantly shattered apart like broken glass with a deafening roar.

“Hah… Hah…”

The moment it collapsed, Soren finally felt the unbearable pressure disappear as he dropped to one knee, breathing heavily.

Although everything that happened seemed to last only a brief moment, the pressure he endured was anything but ordinary.

If not for his body becoming far stronger after his bloodline awakening, Soren felt he might not even have been able to hold himself up.

*Swoosh!*

Yet it still wasn’t over.

The instant the shattered domain vanished and Soren took a deep breath, another terrifying presence suddenly swept over him out of nowhere.

This time, however, it came from the sky itself.

From the crimson moon hanging high in the sky above.

For the first time, Soren truly felt as though the red moon was staring directly at him, or rather, at the place where he stood.

The sensation lasted only for a fleeting instant, so brief that it almost felt like an illusion.

Yet it was even more terrifying than Lilith.

In fact, Soren felt it was far beyond even the strongest existence he had ever seen, Eldarth.

Fortunately, the presence merely swept past casually, as if it had never even noticed his existence.

Still, that single moment was enough to make him understand one thing clearly.

Even the 10th floor of the Abyss was no joke.

So much for thinking it was nothing special before.

It seemed he truly was just a frog in a well, unaware of the vast world beyond it. Well, since he had played this game, it couldn’t be said he was unaware.

But playing a game and witnessing it firsthand were two different things after all.

As cold sweat drenched Soren’s back under the lingering fear of that gaze above, another familiar prompt suddenly echoed in his mind, startling him once again.

—

Ding!

[An Incredible Luck Applies.]

[Congratulations! You have successfully avoided a misfortune.]

[You have gained 1 point in the GAP stat.]

—

“What?”

Only, this prompt made him gape in shock, forgetting everything else.

So his luck finally worked?
