Chapter 1: Transformation, but where am I?
"Mmm... huh?"
With a lazy murmur, consciousness returned like a tide.
Best Friend suddenly woke up from a deep sleep, only to find herself lying on a giant, warm white jade altar.
Blinding sunlight spilled through the stained-glass dome, and divine runes and incantations drifted in the air. Beneath the altar was a dense crowd of people kneeling on the ground.
"It worked! The summoning ritual was a success!"
"Heaven blesses our race! The kingdom is saved!"
"The Brave One is so beautiful, she's the reincarnation of the Goddess!"
"Welcome, Brave One!"
A tsunami-like roar of cheers instantly drowned her out.
At the same time, a complex stream of information flooded her mind without warning—this world's common tongue, writing structure, sensing methods for basic elements... It was as if someone had forcibly stuffed an 'Otherworld Survival Guide' into her cerebral cortex.
"Where... am I?"
Best Friend held her forehead and sat up with a bewildered look.
Before she could see her surroundings clearly, a stunning young girl wearing a gorgeous dress and a crown stepped quickly onto the altar.
She gracefully lifted her skirt in front of Best Friend and performed an impeccable courtly bow, her tone full of reverence and urgency:
"This is the Rodel Holy Kingdom, and I am the Third Princess of this country—O great soul from another world, you are the 'Brave One' we summoned with the strength of our entire nation to save this world!"
The princess looked up, tears shimmering in her eyes:
"Now, humanity is suffering from the cruel devastation of the demon army, and the front lines are in critical danger. Only you, with your divine talent, can become the strongest warrior, defeat that terrifying Demon Lord, and lead us toward the dawn!"
"Brave One... I really became a Brave One?!"
Hearing those words, the confusion in Best Friend's eyes instantly vanished, replaced by uncontrollable ecstasy.
It really happened!
That Goddess didn't lie! I really got the male lead script of a classic hot-blooded shonen manga!
Just then, the stream of information in her mind surged again, and a name surfaced clearly in her consciousness—
[Individual True Name: Alicia von Heinrich]
「Huh? Alicia? What's going on?」
Hearing this name, the smile on Best Friend's face froze:
「Why does it sound like a woman's name? It's not imposing at all, is it?」
Complaining inwardly, Alicia subconsciously looked down to examine her body—she wanted to see if she had gained any cool, domineering muscles or divine gear.
However, what met her eyes was not powerful pectoral muscles.
Instead, it was two mounds, tightly wrapped in silver armor, so high they even partially blocked her view... "slimes."
Looking down from those exaggerated curves, there was a waist so slender it seemed it would snap at a touch, and long, rounded thighs. Strands of long golden hair fell over the armor on her chest, shimmering with a dazzling luster.
"What... what's going on?!"
A bone-chilling cold instantly shot up her spine.
She tremblingly reached out and touched her cheek—the skin was delicate and smooth, her fingers long and fair, nothing like her old rough hands calloused from typing on a keyboard!
Realizing something was wrong, Alicia turned her head in a panic and saw a large crystal mirror standing next to the altar.
In the mirror, a peerless, heroic-looking woman with blonde hair and blue eyes was looking back at her with a face full of terror.
That cold and elegant aura, that proud figure—it was exactly like the "Princess Knight" template he loved to use when creating characters in games!
She had turned into a woman! And a blonde-haired, blue-eyed one with big curves!
「Holy crap! How did I become a woman?!」
A curse almost escaped her lips, but luckily she covered her mouth in time, and what came out was only a charming cry of surprise.
「No! This is too absurd! I have to tell Old Duan quickly! He might not even recognize me!」
Ignoring the bewildered looks of those around her, Best Friend, now "Alicia," began to frantically search her body.
"Where's the phone? Where's the mobile phone the Goddess gave me? Where is it, where is it?"
Seeing the "Brave One" suddenly start fumbling around her body, even reaching into the gaps of her armor, the princess's face couldn't help but redden as she stepped forward and asked eagerly:
"Bra... Brave One~ What are you looking for? Is this equipment not a good fit? Or are you feeling uncomfortable? Please, just say the word. Whether it's silk or soft armor, we have everything here~"
"Hiss... Be quiet for a second! I'm looking for my mobile phone!"
"Eh?"
Hearing the words 'mobile phone', the princess blinked in confusion, and the kingdom's ministers also looked bewildered... —
Meanwhile, at the other end of the world... completely different from the Rodel Holy Kingdom's splendor, this was the deepest part of the Demon Realm... the deepest, deepest part!
The very, very, very, very, very!
Deep, deep, deep, deep, deep!
...underground dungeon!
Never seeing the light of day, the air was filled with oppressive mana and the scent of death.
In the deepest part of this dark dungeon, a black crystal coffin covered in forbidden runes slowly slid its lid open.
"Mmm...?"
With a lazy moan like a kitten, a fair, delicate little foot like mutton-fat jade peeked out from the coffin.
The arch traced a perfect curve, and the toes were rounded and cute, with a faint pink tint like freshly bloomed petals. This glimpse alone would be enough to drive countless Zhou Bar brothers crazy.
But soon, tight and elastic black lace over-the-knee socks materialized, perfectly wrapping those slender, sinful legs. Then, a Gothic frilly dress, so short it barely covered anything, attached itself to the surface of this small creature.
Lilith Augusta.
This was the name engraved deep in her soul the moment she woke up.
Along with it came a tsunami of knowledge—ultra-high-level forbidden spells capable of destroying cities, dark combat techniques that even past Demon Lords hadn't fully mastered, and the innate charming instincts of the Succubus royal family.
The Goddess indeed kept her word; she gave Old Duan the peak combat power of this world.
But the price seemed a bit heavy?
No! It's too heavy! My chest feels so heavy!
"Awooo?!"
A dazed Lilith rubbed her sleepy eyes.
Long silver hair as smooth as snow slid down, and her eyes, as magnificent as rubies, were filled with the blurriness of just waking up.
「What? Wasn't I supposed to be reincarnated into another world? Where the hell am I?」
While talking to herself, Lilith looked down at her body.
「Hiss... these arms and legs... why are they so short? This isn't right, is it?!」
Visually, her figure was completely different from her previous life. It could be said she had short arms and legs, looking less than 1.6 meters tall?
She seemed to have a standard shota... or rather, loli physique?
But the fabric over her chest was stretched tight, rising and falling slightly with her breath. The extreme contrast radiated a seductive power known as "criminal."
However, perhaps because she had just woken up, or perhaps because the surroundings were too dark, Lilith hadn't yet figured out the current state of her body.
She looked around blankly, seeing nothing but black rock walls and rusty torture devices.
"It's too dark... what is this..."
She subconsciously tried to stand up;
But at that moment, she suddenly felt... why was her lower body so chilly?
「Wait, this isn't right!」
An extremely bad premonition surged in her heart.
As a pure man for over twenty years in that world, he was well aware of the presence of his bodily organs!
But now, it seemed empty there? A chilly wind was constantly rushing in through the frilly skirt... 「Am I wearing... a skirt?」
「Holy crap, no way?」
With the help of the faint ghost-fire light on the walls, Lilith tremblingly reached out her small hand toward her skirt.
Groping.
Groping more.
There was nothing!
Only a flat, soft sensation.
"It's... it's gone..."
Lilith's pupils dilated violently, and her face instantly turned deathly pale!
「That thing is gone...」
「My brother is gone...」
「No... this isn't right! Goddess? Can you still hear me? This isn't what we agreed on!」
Realizing something was wrong, Lilith held her head, her face full of disbelief!
However, just as she was about to let out a groundhog-like scream, a hair-raising chill instantly enveloped the entire dungeon!
"Eek?!"
A kitten-like cry escaped Lilith's throat.
But before she could feel ashamed of her cute voice, two crimson lights suddenly lit up in the darkness.
Those were the eyes of some top-tier predator.
Tap, tap, tap.
The heavy footsteps felt like they were stepping on her heart.
Lilith was so scared she shuddered. Out of a 'male' combat instinct, she instantly clenched her pink fists and struck a wary pose... well, a defensive stance that looked fierce but was actually incredibly soft and cute, and she shouted in a milky voice:
"Wh... who are you! Don't come over here!"
"..."
The voice faded, and the darkness dissipated.
A man wearing black finery, with a handsome face enough to make any woman scream, walked out.
Handsome.
So handsome!
Even as a 'man', the moment Lilith saw this person, she couldn't help but marvel at his cold and handsome face!
It was just that... he was surrounded by a terrifying black mist, looking like a monarch walking out of the abyssal depths of hell, his whole body radiating a terrifying aura of 'keep away, weaklings'.
Hearing Lilith's words, there was no expression on his face. He just coldly stared at the shivering little thing in front of him, opened his mouth slightly, and explained in a deep voice:
"I am Asmodeus, the King of the Demon Realm, the Lord of the Abyss, the past and future master of this land, and the ender of the entire world—though I am currently sealed here by those hypocritical races, it does not prevent me from exercising my rights as a master."
「Huh? Demon Lord? Master?」
Hearing this, Lilith looked terrified:
「How did I get transmigrated right next to the Demon Lord?」
「And he turned me into a woman, uh? Seems like a Succubus too?」
As she was thinking, the black heart-shaped tail behind Lilith swayed back and forth, as if verifying her guess.
On the other side, the Demon Lord Asmodeus was already approaching step by step!
He came to the crystal coffin where Lilith was, his gaze cold and his expression serious. The powerful pressure made Lilith very nervous, so she could only lean against the edge of the crystal coffin, one hand propped against the wall beside it, staring weakly at him.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Asmodeus suddenly raised his hand! He gave Lilith a high-pressure wall-slam!
Thud—
「Wah—」
The man's thick and powerful hand pressed hard against the left side of her head, making Lilith tremble all over.
Then, the cold voice rang out again:
"To find a way to break the seal and to relieve the boredom of the long years, I spent several days using an ancient forbidden spell to summon you."
Asmodeus lowered his head, his warm breath fanning across Lilith's sensitive earlobe, causing her cheeks to flush slightly:
"From now on, you are my exclusive property..."
「What???」
Hearing this, Lilith's face was full of terror:
「Not cool, bro? Goddess! What exactly is going on! Can't someone explain this to me!」
「How did I... how did I become the Demon Lord's slave right from the start!」
「He's not going to do that to me, is he?」
Lilith's inner heart was incredibly shocked, but for now, the Demon Lord's words continued:
"From now on, you are my exclusive property... I command you."
His voice was low and raspy, carrying an unquestionable authority, so much so that Lilith's heart beat faster and faster:
"Make children with me, right now!"
「I'm doomed!
