Chapter 17: Virgin Lilith!

Naturally, her movement provided me with an unobstructed view, but it held a certain allure that I couldn't resist.

Entranced by her charm, I found myself responding, "To achieve what I desire... whatever that may be?" The air around us seemed charged with a sense of forbidden temptation.

"Yes, most have chosen the path of guest death," Lilith acknowledged, her voice laced with a hint of melancholy as she hinted at the high stakes involved in our predicament. "Those who survived did so," she added, her eyes reflecting a mixture of curiosity and intrigue.

I contemplated the implications of her words. "Even if I obey my mother, even if she retires... What if I request my entire fortune?" The thought of financial wealth and independence held a tantalizing allure, but it also came with a price.

Lilith's response was candid and thought-provoking. "It might be less than you expect. However, the monthly pension you receive is substantial, isn't it? But can you handle it?" Her provocative statement added a layer of intrigue to our conversation, making me reconsider the true value of what was at stake.

She licked her lips sensually, as if savoring the complexity of our situation. "Have you thought this through?" she asked, her voice dripping with temptation.

I hesitated, grappling with the weight of my decision. "No matter what, she's still my mother," I replied, emphasizing the deep emotional bond that tied me to her.

"But there's no blood relation, is there?" Lilith countered, challenging the conventional notions of family ties.

I conceded the point, acknowledging the lack of a biological connection. "True, but... there are a few non-virgins out there." As Lilith had mentioned, the prospect of inheriting her entire fortune would require me to shed my previous life and enter into a sham marriage with someone willing to pretend to have been a virgin. The idea seemed unappealing, especially if it involved a succubus like the Empress of Inma.

Lilith's reaction was mixed, a hint of hesitation in her expression. "Are you upset?" she inquired, her voice tinged with curiosity and a touch of concern.

I responded matter-of-factly, "It's simply a fact," as I grappled with the tangled web of desires and consequences that lay before me, unsure of the path I would ultimately choose.

It's not that I particularly dislike non-virgins, but there's an instinctive inclination for men to think that virgins are preferable. Society often places a certain mystique around the idea of purity, even though it's an outdated notion. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but ponder this curious revelation from Lilith.

"Hey," Lilith muttered under her breath, her voice barely audible above a whisper.

"Yes?" I responded, my curiosity piqued by her sudden change in tone.

With a hint of annoyance, Lilith declared, "I'm a virgin, you foolish bastard."

Before I could react, Lilith's swift kick connected with my face, leaving me momentarily dazed and bewildered. It was an unexpected turn of events that had taken me completely by surprise.

"No!" I exclaimed, my head still spinning from the unexpected blow.

Lilith's expression remained stern, as if her anger had not yet dissipated. However, I couldn't let the matter go unaddressed, especially given its peculiar nature.

"Mother, you mentioned you're a succubus?" I inquired, trying to make sense of the contradiction.

"Yeah, so what?" Lilith replied nonchalantly, seemingly unfazed by the contradiction between her supernatural identity and her claimed virginity.

After confirming that her statement held no apparent logical inconsistency, I decided to delve deeper into this perplexing revelation.

"But how can you be a virgin?" I probed, genuinely puzzled.

Lilith, in her characteristic straightforward manner, retorted, "Because I haven't done it, you fool," and promptly delivered another kick, this time with slightly less force. The pain was still there, but it was no longer as intense as the previous kicks.

The situation had taken an absurd turn, and I was left contemplating my choices. I had no desire to endure a third kick, so I decided to offer a compromise.

"...Then let's consider you a virgin," I suggested cautiously, attempting to diffuse the tension in the room.

Lilith raised an eyebrow at my hesitant words but appeared willing to entertain the idea. I spoke with growing confidence, trying to make sense of the situation.

"It doesn't make sense, a virgin succubus. Well, there must be a rare exception," I concluded, acknowledging the uniqueness of our circumstances.

With that, the tension between us eased slightly, as we navigated the peculiar topic of Lilith's virginity, or lack thereof, in this unconventional conversation that had taken an unexpected turn.

As far as my understanding goes, succubi are a race known to gain strength through engaging in sexual and indecent acts.

It is considered a unique racial characteristic and one of their innate abilities is to drain power from their partners during such things. Unlike in other games where they may steal entire levels of power, succubi have the ability to extract small amounts of energy from those they have sex with and you will not even know it when it did.

However, the succubus named Lilith standing before me defied those things for herself. She possessed inhuman strength and was renowned as one of the twenty-two legendary heroes.

The question that immediately sprang to mind upon hearing her claim was, "How is it possible that she's still a virgin?" I admit, it may seem like an exaggerated reaction, but in the logic of this world, it is a genuine reaction.

Allow me to present you with a different view point.

Imagine a hypothetical race that grows stronger as they age, with the most powerful individual among them being only twenty years old. It's a somewhat biased example, but it serves to emphasize the contradiction.

Lilith's extraordinary strength would normally should be coming through countless experiences of her as she is a succubus, involving not just a few, but potentially hundreds of partners.

'So, how the fuck she is still a virgin despite being this strong?'

To suggest that a succubus like Lilith remains a virgin is akin to saying she has never engaged in any form of sexual activities which is pretty obvious from the statemy but it being with while she is a succubus.
