The night hung heavy, the clear sky revealing a full moon so bright it seemed close enough to touch. The balcony of Kael's room—a side extension of the room Raven had let him "temporarily occupy"—was silent except for the whisper of the wind and the distant sound of drunken conversation from the street below.

Kael sat on the edge of the balcony, one leg dangling over the side, his gaze lost in the vastness of the moon. The silvery glow illuminated his face softly, accentuating his tired, pensive expression.

Behind him, inside the room, the succubus slept. Sazhara had curled up between the sheets like a child exhausted after a nightmare, still clutching one of the pillows as if her safety depended on it. Despite everything, there was a genuine peace there — a stark contrast to the restlessness that consumed Kael inside.

He took a deep breath, the night air bringing the subtle scent of the enchanted wood of the bar's structure, mixed with a cold breeze that touched his skin. His gaze did not stray from the moon, but inside, his mind stirred thoughts in silence.

After everything he had been through in recent months—the confrontation at school, the incident in the elven kingdom, and his mother's constant and enigmatic intervention—there was one constant that remained absent: the System.

He raised his right hand, twisting his wrist in the empty air before him, and said in a low, almost casual voice, "System."

Nothing. He tried again, with more intent: "Open System."

No response.

"Interface. Status. Inventory... anything." Silence answered.

Kael frowned. Until that moment, he had hardly missed it. The system that had accompanied him since he first awoke seemed more like a decorative piece than a vital resource. He felt no evolution. He didn't gain levels. His abilities didn't seem to scale with numbers. It was as if the system existed only for... observation.

But now, after the forced acceleration ritual his grandmother had performed—the one that had aged his body a few years, bringing it closer to the "real age" of his soul—something seemed different. His magical affinity was more alive, his thoughts faster, his mana control more intuitive. The absence of the System was beginning to feel like a hole.

He tried again, whispering to himself, "Maybe... that was it. The body changed. The flow of mana too. Was the System calibrated for the previous version of me?"

And then...

[DING!]

Kael blinked. A clear and unmistakable electronic sound rang inside his mind, like a magical crystal bell.

[You have discovered the System problem! Updating and installing the updated version! Please do not turn off your soul during synchronization.]

He stood still for a moment.

"What?"

Another [DING!] sounded.

[Due to the advanced age of the host body, all previous statuses have been revoked and recalibrated. Please access the "Status" option to check your new characteristics and updated parameters.]

Kael slowly got up, stepping away from the edge of the balcony and back into the room. The soft moonlight drew silver lines on the wooden floor. He stopped in front of the mirror, still trying to understand what he was hearing.

"Open Status," he said, now more firmly.

The response was immediate. A floating window appeared before his eyes, like a translucent panel, glowing with blue light.

Kael narrowed his eyes.

"This is... new. The system is... more complete? ...but my stats... have dropped like hell... However, I don't feel any change in strength... does that mean it was wrong all along?"

He examined the new sections. There were details there that he had never seen before. Like "Synchronization with Spirits."

But what scared him the most was the Luck value: 190.

"This is new, apparently."

He snorted, closing the interface with a gesture.

For some reason, the System seemed more... responsive. Almost as if it were awakening with him, adjusting to the new body, the new flow of power. Perhaps, he thought, the System had never been meant for children or young people. Perhaps its true function was only now activated, now that he was more... "complete."

He approached the bed and looked at Sazhara. The succubus was snoring softly, her golden hair spread across the pillow, her small horns glowing faintly in the dark. She had the face of someone who had finally found rest after a long time.

Kael sat down beside the bed, resting his elbows on his knees, deep in thought.

"I'll see about that tomorrow..." He turned his head to look at Sazhara, who was sleeping soundly beside him. She was curled up in the covers, her golden hair spread across the pillow and her horns glowing faintly in the darkness. She looked so peaceful, as if she had finally found the rest she so desperately needed.

Kael sighed and was about to lie down beside her when he suddenly felt a strong tug on his arm. He was torn from his thoughts when Sazhara pulled him closer, wrapping her arms around him. Before Kael could react, he was plunged into the succubus' soft breasts, his face pressed against the thin fabric of her nightgown.

"Master, eat my ass..." Sazhara murmured sleepily, her words coming out in a dreamy purr. "Just a little..."

[Mission received! Satisfy the succubus!]

Kael was more startled by the system message than by the sleeping succubus's words. He tried to pull away from her embrace, but she was clinging to him with surprising strength, even in her sleep. He could feel her soft, smooth skin through her nightgown as he struggled to free himself.

"Just a little... I need..." Sazhara continued to murmur incoherently, pulling Kael even closer. Suddenly, she moved, straddling him on his lap. Kael could feel the heat of her body pressed against his as she writhed in her sleep.

"Master's cock... inside me..." Sazhara murmured again, this time pulling down the waistband of her panties. Kael could feel the wetness between her legs against his leg as she rubbed her body against his without any self-control or inhibition.

Kael stood rigidly still, unsure how to deal with the surprising situation. Sazhara was clearly dreaming something very erotic and had pulled him into her fantasy.

He didn't want to take advantage of the sleeping succubus, no matter how much his body might be reacting to hers.

"What the hell is this situation..." He thought, trying to figure out how to get out of it.

But at the same time, there was a part of him that couldn't deny the attraction.

He was still a man with desires, even though he tried to hide them. But now, with this beautiful temptation sitting on his lap, asking for it... how could he resist?

Kael remained silent for a long moment, struggling internally with his conflicting desires. Finally, he slowly wrapped his arms around Sazhara, hugging her protectively as she continued to rub against him in her sleep. He whispered calmly in her ear, "Sazhara, wake up. You're dreaming..."

The words seemed to penetrate the fog of sleep, and Sazhara blinked, slowly emerging from her erotic reverie. She opened her eyes and stared at Kael for a long moment before finally realizing the position they were in—her straddling him, both of them half-naked and embracing intimately. She blushed intensely and jumped off his lap, covering herself with her nightgown.

"M-Master!" She stammered in horror, staring at him with wide eyes. "I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me! You must think I'm a vulgar, perverted succubus!"

Kael smiled tenderly at her, reaching out to hold her hand. "Don't worry, Sazhara. No one can control their dreams. It's not your fault."

Sazhara sighed with relief and lowered her eyes shyly. "I appreciate your understanding, Master. I just..." She wanted to say something, but when she looked at him... and at what was hard in his pants...

[Mission! Feed the Succubus with your member!]

Kael swallowed hard as he saw Sazhara staring at his throbbing member with desire in her eyes. She ran her hand gently over the bulge, making him shudder with pleasure. Her posture had changed, taking on a predatory and seductive expression, worthy of a true succubus.

"Master... I need to feed. And there is nothing I want more than to taste your delicious nectar," she purred, her voice deep and seductive. "Please, allow me to feed on you..."

Kael could feel his heart racing at Sazhara's words. His member throbbed in his pants, desperate for release and to be inside the succubus's hot, wet mouth. He knew he had no choice, that he was in her clutches and those of his own desires.

With a groan, he reached for the waistband of his pants and pulled them down, freeing his hard, throbbing member. His penis sprang out, thick and long, pulsing with anticipation. Sazhara gasped when she saw it, her eyes wide with surprise and desire.

"Oh Master... this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life!" she exclaimed, running a finger lightly along its length, teasing him. "I can't wait to taste you on my tongue..."

Then, without further ado, she wrapped her lips around the head of Kael's member and began to suck. The sensation was incredible, like nothing he had ever felt before. Her tongue danced around the glans, exploring every inch as she swallowed him deeper and deeper.

Kael moaned loudly, his hands flying up to bury themselves in Sazhara's golden hair. He pulled her forward, pushing his member even deeper into her mouth, desperate for more. She took him deep into her throat with ease, swallowing him completely as her cheeks puffed out around him.

"That... fuck..." Kael said between moans, holding Sazhara's hair tightly.

She looked up at him, smiling mischievously around the member she was sucking. Her gaze was pure desire and lust, showing that she was enjoying this as much as he was.

Sazhara began to suck harder, moving her head up and down on Kael's member while one hand moved to massage his testicles. She licked and sucked faster and faster, bringing him closer and closer to the edge.

Kael could feel the orgasm building inside him, his muscles tense and his member throbbing in ecstasy. He knew it wouldn't be long before he exploded in the succubus's greedy mouth.

"Man... I'm going to cum..." He warned.

But in response, Sazhara swallowed him whole and squeezed her cheeks, making an obscene sound that vibrated along the entire length of his throbbing member. She held him there, swallowing his contractions with a triumphant look in her eyes.

With a roar of pleasure, Kael reached climax. His vision went white as jets and more jets of hot semen filled Sazhara's eager mouth. She swallowed it all with a satisfied smile, savoring every drop as if it were the most delicious of delicacies.

When he was finally done, Kael collapsed onto the bed, exhausted and sated. Sazhara raised her head, her lips swollen and glistening with saliva and semen.

"Thank you so much for the feast, Master," she purred. "Your nectar is even more delicious than I imagined."
