Chapter 1: “After failing, (they) turned into a female succubus.”

“So, which one of you will become the female and take on the responsibility of procreating for the race?”

The speaker was a succubus who looked petite.

Her height looked small, but her assets were anything but small—they were about to snap that thin cloth rope.

Her body was tightly wrapped in seductive lingerie designed to maximize the advantages of female succubi.

Her skin was smeared with some kind of oil.

Or maybe she had just come back from finding a man outside.

Every move she made naturally exuded an alluring aura.

In short, very promiscuous.

However, in the eyes of Ye Lu and the other ordinary male succubi nearby, that wasn’t the case.

They couldn’t even muster the slightest desire to conquer her.

Not only because inside that porcelain doll-like body actually lived a Clan Chief who was over a hundred years old.

Over such a long time, who knew how many men she had been with outside.

Besides that, there was a fatal reason—

She used to be a man.

It wasn’t just her.

Among the subjects of the Succubus Race, almost 99% of little succubi were born male.

The biggest culprit for this situation was genetics.

Causing the possibility of being born a female succubus to be extremely rare.

But how could a race of all men work, especially when it was the Succubus Race?

The solution, for the normal Procreation of the race,

they would, starting from the day of their 18-year-old Adulthood Rite,

require the adult youths to gather at a specific location.

Preferably, two men would pair up together, as this best balanced the numbers of males and females.

Finally, the administrator would decide who would become the woman through a Duel or Rock Paper Scissors.

Of course, the one who becomes a woman would not be forced to marry and have children with the accompanying man.

The probability of reproduction among the same Succubus Race was very low.

Affection was also pitifully scarce… it took a long time, so it was better to engage in Crossbreeding.

The most efficient method… was to encourage Female Foraging.

This not only improved the overall combat power of the Succubus Race.

If they could establish connections with important figures, it could increase the race’s relations.

The Succubus Queen never refused this and even strongly advocated for it.

The downside was that succubi appeared very lowly in the outside world—

Many high-end venues often saw the presence of succubi.

For this very reason, Ye Lu did not want to become a female succubus.

If only he could be an ordinary man, live an ordinary life.

After graduating from a higher academy in the Demon Capital, rent a house and live a stable life.

Then find a simple, gentle demon wife.

Preferably one with a personality like a Little Fox or Little Rabbit—they were the most clingy and good at acting cute.

Wouldn’t that be much better than being a female succubus, forced by instinct to go find men outside every day?

Even his own mother was annoying.

Although she didn’t go outside to find men, she had Pure Love with his father and planned to stay together for life.

She had never fooled around outside, staying at home obediently all day.

But what bothered him was that female succubi really had too high of a libido.

In other words, Insatiable Desire.

In his memory, this had started almost from childhood.

Whether it was by his mother’s cradle where she thought she was telling stories to lull him to sleep, or halfway through a birthday celebration.

Even once during a spring outing, when they happened to pass by a small grove…

Without exception, almost every time it ruined the mood, forcing him to keep his distance.

…

The Clan Chief waited a long time without a response, seeming to lose patience:

“…If you can’t decide, how about a round of Rock Paper Scissors, or a Duel?”

“A Duel!”

Ye Lu snapped back to reality and spoke first, his gaze firmer than ever:

“I want a duel. I will never become a woman! Never!”

Hmph hmph hmph…

Ahahahaha!

He couldn’t help laughing in his heart.

‘Did you think that when he was a child, he was really just running away all the time?’

‘Wrong.’

‘All wrong.’

‘Every time that happened, he would actually find a place with no one around and train desperately.’

‘Swordsmanship, Demon Combat Art, Defensive Magic, Offensive Magic…’

‘Whether it was taught at school or self-taught before school.’

‘In this regard, he was already comprehensively ahead of his peers.’

‘Eighteen years old?’

‘Hah, even if a twenty-eight-year-old adult came, so what?’

‘He could defeat them fair and square without relying on Seduction, that lowly biological instinct.’

Five minutes later—

“Ugh!!!”

‘…Did… I fail?’

In the end, he was mistaken.

The other party was also a tough opponent.

Someone who also didn’t want to become a despicable female succubus, had confessed his true feelings, and had been nurtured by a noble family since childhood.

In the same period, he received personal guidance from a top Swordsmanship Master.

Even in the demon school, his strength was top-notch.

A Young Master with such unbeatable talent, temperament, and resources…

How could she possibly defeat him?

…

Lying dejectedly in a dirt pit, Ye Lu struggled to get up and looked at the Clan Chief approaching step by step, her eyes filled with despair.

“No… don’t come closer. Give… give me another chance. I don’t want to become that kind of person…”

He became incoherent, his voice starting to tremble, completely losing his previous confidence.

“Cheer up! Lu Lu!”

Hmm? A woman’s voice.

Ye Lu looked towards the source of the voice.

Amid the cheers for the Young Master that drowned out the entire venue.

His mother was happily holding his father’s arm, vigorously waving and cheering from the crowd.

Ah… so they also supported me?

If I could just convince the referee for a Best of Three…

But after hearing his mother’s words, Ye Lu’s heart turned completely to ashes.

“Being a girl is really happy, you know. Every day, every day, it’s very happy…”

“Haha…”

‘As expected, there’s no one behind me…’

Ye Lu gave up thinking, but when the Clan Chief approached, he still made the request for a Best of Three.

Unsurprisingly, it was firmly rejected.

The Clan Chief crouched down and, with her cold little hand that carried the scent of rhododendrons, shoved a Pink Pill into his mouth.

“Chew it. It’s very sweet.”

“Ugh… what the hell is this made of?”

As soon as it entered his mouth, under the Clan Chief’s watch, he swallowed it down his throat.

His body felt as if something had ignited it.

‘It feels like something important is silently being lost.’

…

One day later.

“Kill me.”

Ye Lu stood naked in front of the full-length mirror in the room.

From the exhausted, extremely resistant posture in the mirror, it was clear.

She really, really didn’t want to become this way.

Her height hadn’t shrunk much; it was the type between a loli and a mature woman, highly malleable.

That little brother she had yesterday, the one she worried every day would leave her.

Now… as expected, it was gone.

Gone…

An empty area…

That heavy feeling that used to be there…

Had actually transferred to her chest.

Ye Lu was truly shocked.

Heh, this was probably an innate talent of every female in the Succubus Race.

So big…

Look, how long had she been standing and observing her body?

Five minutes?

Her shoulders were already starting to ache with fatigue.

No wonder most adolescent girls liked to slouch.

As for her appearance, Ye Lu had also deviated from the kind of purity she liked.

Of course, it leaned towards her mother’s lineage…

It was the type where—

With just an unintentional blink in front of a man, the other party would instantly understand and walk towards you.

In the end, could she not escape the fate of becoming this?

Ye Lu almost dared not look at the mirror anymore.

She still couldn’t believe this was herself.

Curvy in the front and back, no matter how hard she twisted her waist, it wouldn’t slim down—too plump.

Because of being too plump, it naturally gave the impression of anterior pelvic tilt.

The muscle lines had also disappeared; instead, there was a layer of soft flesh on her lower abdomen.

Besides that, there were also chubby legs.

Her butt, which always felt tight in her old pants.

The only good thing was that compared to being a man, her skin had become white, smooth, and delicate.

Ye Lu sneered at this; it was a body completely built for men.

Besides… many men liked cute girls, you know.

They preferred the kind of cold beauty that could be slowly boiled like a frog, slowly brought together. What was she?

Slut? Whore?

Bitch?

…

“Knock, knock, knock—”

“Are you done changing? You’ll be late for school on the first day of break.”

Her mother urged gently from outside.

“Oh… oh! I know, right away, don’t come in!”

In her panic, Ye Lu grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around herself, reflected in the mirror… huh, a pencil skirt?

She angrily threw it away.

So annoying…

‘Thinking about it, Mom was also a man who lost a duel. I heard she was even more stubborn than me back then.’

‘She had already been told this by Dad when he held her in his arms as a child.’

‘Now she’s completely different… can’t see any trace of the past at all.’

‘I really don’t know how she accepted her identity.’

She sighed, deciding to first think about what to wear outside.
