As Lucien finished dressing up, he was greeted with a series of notifications from the system.

He was a bit dumbstruck by it as he didn't expect he would level up this quick. However, upon reflection, he realized that a lot had happened during that short span of time. Mainly, engaging in various sensual activities with Charlotte.

But, Lucien understood that his quick levelling up was due to his skills in 'Charm' and 'Seduction'. It became clear to him when Charlotte mentioned how his aura had a certain radiance that attracted people towards him. Without these abilities, he doubted he would have made such significant progress in just an hour.

As Charlotte took her time to dress up, Lucien decided to check his status. He swiped his fingers across the air, causing a holographic display of his status to appear before his eyes.

Although he felt a bit foolish doing it, Lucien couldn't help but find it more enjoyable to use the gesture command, as it made him feel like a character in a video game, where simple finger movements could trigger various options and actions. It was such a nostalgic sensation that he even requested Auman to design the system that way.

He could access the system in a normal way by concentrating and focusing on it, but what's the fun in that?

'Wow, I can't believe how much life limit I gained in just an hour. It's much easier than I thought.' Lucien thought inwardly. Initially, he assumed things would be arduous as he had to engage in various sensual activities to survive. Being always awkward with women and never having any prior experience, he worried about how he would manage.

However, it turns out that with the original Lucien's body experience and Incubus' supernatural abilities, he found himself adapting to the situation quite easily.

Lucien came to the conclusion, 'So it means that as long as I stay with Charlotte, my safety will be guaranteed!'

As he skimmed through his status screen, his gaze lingered on the ability points. Lucien felt a sense of curiosity tugging at him. 'I wonder what these points do,' he mused to himself.

Without hesitation, he reached out and touched the screen, causing another window to pop up with detailed information about the ability points.

<Incubus> (Rank F)

<Abilities:

<Charm> (Rank F)

<A passive ability that allows the Incubus to emit an aura of irresistible charisma, drawing the attention of the opposite gender. This ability increases the chances of successful seduction and persuasion, as well as makes it easier to gain information or favors from the opposite gender.>

<Seduction> (Rank F)

<An active ability that allows the user to charm and manipulate their target's emotions and thoughts. When used, the user emits a pheromone that can increase their target's attraction towards them. The ability requires a high level of charisma and finesse to use effectively, as it can backfire if not executed properly. Successful use of seduction can lead to various benefits, such as obtaining sensitive information or convincing the affected person to perform certain actions.>

Lucien read the detailed explanation of each skill with interest before tapping his glabella twice.

[You called me, host?] Auman inquired.

Lucien took a moment to collect his thoughts before responding. 'Can you tell me what would happen if I decide to use my points to increase Incubus' rank instead of its abilities?'

[Increasing the rank of one's pathway will reveal new abilities within that pathway. On the other hand, increasing an ability's rank will enhance its effects and potency.]

[Additionally, when a pathway's rank reaches its maximum level, an enhanced version of it will be unlocked with even greater power and capabilities.]

'Can you provide an example?' Lucien asked, still feeling confused. Does it mean that after Incubus reaches its maximum rank, a pathway like 'Demon Lord' might be unlocked?"

[Sure. Let's take the Swordmaster pathway as an example. When it is maxed out, an enhanced version of it will be available for you to use, such as the Paladin pathway, Lunar Knight pathway, or Solar Guardian pathway. However, the available pathways are based on the user's affinity and experience.]

[For instance, if you use the Incubus' abilities only for the purpose of gaining information, seducing people for your own pleasure, and invading people's dreams to sate your fantasy, the pathway you likely unlocked might be a Servant of Lust. However, if you use the Incubus' abilities to corrupt people's minds, invade their dreams to torture them, gaining information so that you can spread false information, then a Servant of Corruption pathway might be revealed when the Incubus' pathway maxes out.]

'I see.' Lucien nodded his head understandingly. He then took a moment to contemplate, deciding which category to invest his points in.

After a minute of reflection, Lucien made a firm decision to level up his pathway instead of increasing the potency and effect of his seduction and charm abilities.

He came to this conclusion because he felt that the current level of his abilities was already sufficient, as evidenced by Charlotte's love-struck behavior towards him. Lucien didn't see the need to further enhance his abilities' potency and effect, so he decided to focus on unlocking a new ability.

<Increasing the 'Incubus' pathway to rank E will cost you 5 ability points. Are you sure you want to proceed with this?>

Lucien immediately agreed with the condition.

<Congratulations>

<You've increased your 'Incubus' pathway to the rank E>

<You've gained a new ability, 'Dream Manipulation'>

<Dream Manipulation> (Rank F)

<Upon activation, the user is able to enter and manipulate the dreams of a designated target. This can be used to influence their thoughts, desires, and even plant suggestions in their waking mind. The potency and duration of the dream manipulation depend on the user's ability rank and the target's resistance to mental manipulation.>
