Skills.
Powers akin to magic that I could never wield in my original world.
According to Pomi, skills are divided into five levels and six grades.
Levels start at 0 upon first acquisition, then generally progress through 1, 2, 3, and M (Master).
The grade system and point costs break down like this.
⚙ SYSTEM REFERENCE ⚙N (Normal): 300pt (x2) Monster-grade. Common among monsters and not uncommon for demons. However, unless it's a skill from a contracted demon lineage, even low-grade skills can't be acquired with points. R (Rare): 1,000pt (x3) Demon-grade. Exclusive skills tied to specific demons, their basics, or general skills most demons can learn. SR (Super Rare): 5,000pt (x5) High demon-grade. Only skilled demons can master these. Rare. SSR (Specially Super Rare): 50,000pt (x10) Demon King-grade. Limited to the Demon King or select executives. Few exist. U (Unique): 1,000,000pt (x20) God-grade. One-of-a-kind across dimensions. Points alone won't cut it—humans can only get them via Random Skill Gacha Coupons. X (Undefined): ??? Special skills that ignore the standard point system for acquisition and leveling.
"I broke it down into monster, demon, high demon, and so on to make it easier for you, but it's not set in stone. Some monsters are stronger than demons, and rare mutants even have intelligence. Hehe. I've got two monster friends myself—a slime and a jellyfish... W-why are you looking at me like that?!"
"Because it's cute."
"Hmph!"
She wasn't just saying it—her face lit up with genuine happiness thinking of her monster pals, and seeing that brought a smile to my own lips.
Flustered by the praise, she cleared her throat a few times and pressed on.
"Ahem! Got the point math? Take [Essence Absorption, R]—it's at Lv. 0 right now. To hit Lv. 1, you need 1,000pt x3 = 3,000pt. Lv. 2 takes 9,000pt."
"Ugh..."
The numbers explode exponentially.
When she first mentioned Unique skills, I thought she'd miscounted the zeros.
"A million? How long would that take to save?!"
"Worrying about pointless stuff. Even the Demon King only has one Unique—[Domain Declaration (Demon King), U]. As if a human could..."
Her dig at humans stung, but I was too scared of another punch to retort.
"You said my high vitality makes points easy to farm?"
She nodded eagerly.
"Difficulty factors in your level, skills, the target's level, mental strength, affection, submission, lewdness, sexual walls—all that jazz. The how is complicated, so just know it affects point yield based on difficulty."
⚙ POINT YIELD ⚙Base: 0~100pt Boost target's climax with Essence Absorption—climax level converts to points. 1/day per target max. Easy: x1 (Low target level, high positive feelings, easy walls) Normal: x2 (Similar levels, neutral feelings) Hard: x5 (Higher level, negative feelings, tough walls) Nightmare: x10 (Contracted like you, or monster/demon. High yield, but tough due to levels/mind) Hell: x?? (High demon+. Varies wildly—run, don't engage)
The more positive the target, the easier the difficulty... and the lower the points.
Pomi says low-yield easy targets let you clear quests fast and move on—better than grinding hard-mode girls.
Wait. She's a demon too, right?
I eyed the blanket burrito.
Cute looks hiding a vicious fist that's clocked my head three times already.
Once she balloons back to her full glory, I'll pay back this humiliation! And snag that 10x EXP!
As I glared at Pomi, vowing sweet revenge on that pretty pussy someday, she whispered low.
"...Just so we're clear—you're not thinking of farming EXP off me, are you?"
Eek!
"You couldn't anyway—contractors can't gain points from their demons. That's it for explanations! Now hit the status window button for your skill draw. Rares are common, so don't chicken out."
"Ugh... I'm weak to this stuff."
I nodded, hand inching toward the status button.
"Gulp... Mia. Hitting it now?"
"I-I'm not looking..."
"Come on, don't jinx it! You said not to freak!"
Trembling, I mashed the draw button.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙You have 1 Random Skill Gacha Coupon.
The chime snapped me back—a glowing palm-sized coupon materialized in my hand.
"Th-this is the coupon?"
Aside from the shine, it looked like a takeout deal from the local Chinese joint. I flipped it, pocketed and unpocketed it in awe. Pomi peeked through her fingers.
"U-used it?"
"Nah, just checking it out."
"Use it already, idiot!"
"Pushy much? Fine, using it!"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Use 1 Random Skill Gacha Coupon? [Yes] [No]
"Y-yes!"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Ding! Starting the draw.
The system window vanished, the coupon dissolving like a mirage. A new translucent panel emerged.
"Gah."
This one was massive, wall-sized, crammed with tiny text.
"A-all those letters are skills?"
"Yup. One gets picked at random!"
Her words barely landed before wind whipped through the room.
Whooooosh—.
The wall-panel compressed to A4 size at its center.
Three skills, one per line. Total of three lines.
"Wh-what? Just one of these three?"
"Roulette time! Here it goes!"
Clack.
"Whoa!"
Sure enough, the skill names scrolled upward slot by slot.
Top one vanished from view, second rose to first, a new one filled the bottom.
The middle glowed bright, while top and bottom slots stayed dim.
"So it spins and picks the middle one?"
Clack.
Clack.
Clackclackclack...
Now blurring too fast to read.
"Damn, they made this draw tense as hell!"
'Ugh, dizzy.'
Time passed, speed slowing.
"S-stopping! Pomi, it's stopping!"
"I see... And you called me Pomi again!"
Clack...
🎰 ROULETTE ⚡[Flight]
[*Teleportation]
[Mind Reading]
"O-oh! T-teleport?"
Looks amazing! No clue how it'd help with sex, but damn!
"Jun-young, jackpot! SSR! The one's below too!"
Heart pounding—wait, not done yet.
Clack, clack...
🎰 ROULETTE ⚡[Mind Reading]
[*Vitality King]
[Pheromones]
"Eh... Infinite stamina's nice, but I need a skill to even attempt sex first! Pass!"
"Pheromones! Covers your ugly mug fine!"
Clack...
Ah, not the roulette—that's my tears falling.
Clack...
🎰 ROULETTE ⚡[Vitality King]
[*Pheromones]
[Strength Boost]
"Yes! A skill to seduce even an ugly guy like me! Stop here! Stop!"
"...!"
Clack...
"Guhk...!"
"Ah, ahh..."
Clack...
"Huh?"
"Please! Please! Ahh..."
Clack...
It spun another three or four rounds before halting.
The final result for me and Pomi...
🎰 RESULT ⚡[Hypnosis]
[*Invisibility]
[Severance]
"In... Invisibility?!"
"..."
Invisibility—a skill that seemed utterly unrelated to succubi!
"Invisibility? Mia, isn't this great? Sounds OP just from the name!"
I pictured all those hentai and pornos about invisible men.
"Total trash tier..."
"What?!"
Her icy reaction spooked me—I yanked open the status to check.
⚔ SKILLS ⚔Essence Absorption (R, Active/Inactive) - Grants pleasure to target. Earn points based on arousal.
Lv. 0: Vitality Cost (60/hour)
Invisibility (N, Active/Inactive) - Consume mana to turn body invisible.
Lv. 0: Vitality Cost (60/hour), Body only. Hair, fluids, etc., detached/secreted remain visible.
The stark 'N' in the Invisibility description!
"N-Normal? The lowest grade?!"
"With 1,000 Luck! Wasting a precious Random Skill Gacha Coupon on N-grade! At Lv. 0 too! Trash tier!"
Her tiny fists pummel my chest.
"Ow, that hurts! Hey! You said it'd be Rare at least!"
Even after she calmed, an awkward silence blanketed the room.
Damn it. She told me not to worry, so why am I the one sweating?
Counting floorboard grains to kill time, Pomi finally spoke.
"Sigh... Fine. Invisibility's not that bad... Ugh, Choi Jun-young, you moron! Luckshot fail! Reopen your status."
"Wha—huh? Luck 999? It dropped?!"
"Haa... Wanna delete and restart."
"Hey, even with me here, 'delete character'?"
You're terrifying, you demoness!
What's wrong with Invisibility?
Memories of Japanese pornos surfaced—a guy in white/black tights pretending to be invisible, banging every girl in sight.
Then the classic hentai Invisible Man, eating salmon roe or flying fish roe to go ghost-mode and live the male fantasy!
Eyeing still-fuming Pomi, I tested the waters.
"Hey. Invisibility that bad? Seems useful to me. Y'know, women's baths, saunas... Plenty of spots!"
"You just named two hotspots?"
She raised a fist, then tilted her head and lowered it.
"Wait. True. Could work here in the human world. Hmm."
She muttered to herself, nodding, her expression brightening as she turned to me.
"In the demon realm, Invisibility skills are meh—too common. Low-grade monsters have 'em, and detection skills spot 'em easy."
I nodded vigorously; she beamed and continued.
"Succubi like me are born with detection 'eyes.' But yeah, human world? Stealing, boob grabs, pussy teases—prime!"
"Stealing? B-boob grab 'n' dash, pussy grab 'n' dash?"
AKA grope and ghost.
"How do you even know those terms?!"
Ignoring my shock, she stroked her chin, mumbling again.
"Was gonna teach Target Status Reveal first... But that needs 4,000 points total. This guy's Invisibility is Lv. 0, so he'd have to strip to use it..."
What? Did I hear something dangerous? Does Lv. 0 Invisibility not cover clothes?
