In a dark cavern deep underground, beneath the human capital, a large pot was boiling, with a putrid green colour and foul stench that made anyone nearby gag on contact; on top of it, a woman was holding the body of a small girl.

She wasn't old, looking to be in her early 30s, with long pink hair tied up with a white headscarf. She wore light blue robes with some silver markings and a long dark blue scarf covering her grey flesh as she tossed the girl into the pot.

The girl's body began to rapidly melt in the green goop, causing many disgusting sounds as she started decomposing, her lips trembling but unable to cry out due to the paralysis and hold person spell.

She took her knife, cutting off the right hand from the body, holding it in her right hand, holding the red sword on her side in her left as she moved the knife down its blade. She sliced her wrist, letting the blood drip into the pot, where the body lay as the cut flesh regenerated quickly.

Soon a new young girl with a diminutive height but mature face and pink hair emerged, but her eyes were strange, and her body pulsed with energy unseen to any regular humans.

"By blood and sacrifice, my heart reborn again, you shall be my greatest creation, you shall stand over this entire world and rule for eternity." She hissed out in a low and sadistic voice as the girl slowly opened her eyes, fully regenerated.

The young girl's hand pointed to the woman in the blue robes before a strange black and green swirl appeared in her palm, "Good work, my former Vessel. Now let me taste your flavour."

She giggled, smiling creepily at her before the swirl turned into something resembling a lash and attacked the former Vessel, stabbing and piercing her repeatedly, sucking the life force from her. She laughed increasingly, feeling the energy build, almost climaxing with each attack.

"So~ you are there, my cute little vampire. I want to test my poisons and special mixtures on your wonderful vampiric body."

Her eyes were strangely filled with a sense of obsession and madness, as her skin turned a light grey but remained beautiful as if absorbing the best parts of the elven girl she sacrificed. "For love, for love." She said, laughing hysterically and clutching her head in utter joy and delight.

"Our Lady!" A tall woman, with her lower body that of a spider, with long black hair and a beautiful body, she knelt before The Diva of Blight, Nortamra. "I'm surprised it's so soon."

"Soon, my ass, it has been eight years since we first set up in this damn sewer system. Those bastards think I'm still alive or dead?" she asked, pressing her sharp nails into her cheek, blood seeping down her cheek.

"Now, let us continue; I want to do more experiments on you, child. Come, drink, drink. Hahaha." The current Queen of the Arachne, Meldonna, shuddered as she saw the nasty boiling pot... Even the revered Queen of deadly poison felt a sense of terror crawling down her back.

Gwendolyn was currently cooking with the innkeeper; she seemed a little short on staff, and the kind Gwen couldn't stand to offer a helping hand while Lucifer was relaxing and watching the two cooking with their alluring bodies. Lephalia was also helping in a cute little dress. She went between tables handing their drinks and sides.

'Not finding anything concrete in the forest was a little disappointing.' Before siping the chilled beer, he thought, 'to think she already put my idea into motion, making a killing for the extra 50 copper to have the drinks chilled.' Lucifer smiled as Gwen waved at him, her hands holding a cleaver as she chopped the corpse of the meat they brought back.

He felt a sense of foreboding since coming to this city; he no longer cared about Toshiro, but the strange differences between the game world and this world were causing him to feel unsettled.

Not only the feeling of another Lord already active so soon, when in the game, they were dormant until after the Hero reached the capital.

'Something is happening, and it's likely related to my changes...'

On his lap, suddenly, two soft, warm objects rubbed against his hands gently—for some reason, once the rabbits were accustomed, they would always rush to him rather than Lephalia Ludris and Chiharu seemed to find solace and comfort from his touch. 'They are cute... soothing my soul with their silky fur.' He laughed a little, petting their adorable heads, causing their tiny noses to twitch happily.

"You seem to like them, my Lord!" Gwen said happily; she felt relieved after the long search and returned with nothing, only earning a few coins and items she could sell later. In her hands were two large plates of food and one smaller one with little flags as Lephalia stood behind her with the small bowls of vegetables and drinks.

"No way~ that sexy new cook has a man?!" A human warrior cried out, drinking from his ale.

"And he looks so fierce..." added a gnome rogue

"He's so hot..." finished the party's female ranger.

"Mmmm, I always loved pets, but you know..." Bitterly laughing, he took his plate from her hands as she sat down; many punters seemed sad she wasn't cooking anymore.

Lucifer didn't say or do anything because the adventurers in this place were very respectful, as much as they could be. He raised his mug with a smile before nodding to the innkeeper as she prepared more drinks for them. 'It's better to make friends than cause pointless arguments.'

"Oooooh, free beer!" The warrior chanted happily.

"Thank you very much, innkeeper!"

"Fufu~ thank the sexy vampire, he's paying."

"Ahh.. he's so handsome and kind..."

"Damn, he's going to enchant the only female of our party!?" The gnome added before laughing as they drank the free beer with merry attitudes.

The evening continued as a sense of harmony filled the dining room, as a beautiful elf sang folk songs with her lute gently playing with a soft timbre.

'Hmmm... I'll get to the bottom of this oddness once we get stronger. That bitch may be connected...' His mouth opened a little, giving his fangs room to pierce a chunk of fresh meat that melted like butter. 'Oh my god, so good!'

After eating a delicious meal made by Gwen, Lucifer headed to the bathhouse section of the inn as Gwen went to sleep in their room. The bathroom area had an excellent male section, with hot and cold shower stalls, toilet cubicles, steam rooms, and massage rooms.

Although there was a nice bath in his room, that would lead to him having to share it with the two girls and would probably lead to sex when he wanted to relax and think to himself.

After a nice shower, the steam room's doors opened as the innkeeper, Milenna, led in two pretty elven women, barely into adulthood, wearing tight short bathrobes, causing their figures to become outlined. They carried a small table that contained several things he couldn't recognise and two scented towels on their hands.

"Please, customer, lay face down on the table, and we shall massage your troubles and worries away." The blonde elf whispered in her lovely voice.

"Yes, you have some stiffness, young man, and we need to loosen up those knots~" Added the second elf with darker hair.

Lucifer found it strange but then remembered it was likely their daily service to customers who pay higher prices; it was hard to say no. Laying face-down, he allowed the soft hands of the elves to press into his back, massaging his shoulder and legs as he hummed in pleasure.

'Ahhhh, this feels amazing~' His hands laid at his side as his mind wandered. 'I just need to take care of them...'

While he relaxed, not too far away, Lephalia and Gwendolyn were taking a soothing warm bath to pass the time before bed; it had been a very busy day for them.

Both wore towels covering their chests and bottoms as they climbed from the hot water, sitting on a small stool opposite a mirror, with Gwendolyn gently brushing the soft hair of Lephailia with a comb, humming a tune with a happy sound.

"Your hair is so smooth and beautiful. Not that mine isn't beautiful, of course," Gwen said happily with a smile on her face, feeling refreshed. "You're such a lovely girl. So happy, so strong, so cute. Thank you for protecting my lord."

The two rabbits had their little towels on the desk in the room. "My lord..." she said sadly, remembering that he gave her a chance to live this kind of happy life, not the slave life she expected. She felt glad as a faint sense of satisfaction filled her stomach.

"Here we go; you need to stop looking sad. Although it was a hard day, tomorrow is new; let's be ready for him! We shall meet new friends, eat good food... and beat anyone who messes with us!" Gwen winked as Lephalia giggled, smiling wide.

"Thank you... both of you." Her heart felt warm as the words of Gwen made her mind clear.

Gwen hugged her tighter and, as she leaned close, whispered, "Thank you...Lephaila..." She kissed her cheek gently as Lephalia leaned her neck onto Gwen's shoulder, like a mother and her daughter or sister.

"Since you came, he became much more relaxed and gentle. I hope you forgive his strange actions; he cares deeply about you." She closed her eyes, enjoying the moment with her. 'I missed this...' Gwen thought sadly.

Lucifer enjoyed the massage from the twin elves, but near the end, the landlady joined in... and he slept with her... "It looks like I have changed quite a lot." He whispered, now perched on the top of a tall building in the village, looking towards the moonlight with a sad feeling.

'I worry for the future...'
