Succubus Holy Knight

Bai Xuan studied the ten Character Settings before him, thinking carefully.

He had to choose three and combine them into something that made sense.

[Aunt] and [Little Boy] obviously didn't go together, and neither did [Still Charming] and [Goblin].

Of the options, [Holy Knight] was undoubtedly the best.

Then there was [Lightless Sword]. He didn't know what it meant, but it sounded powerful.

A Holy Knight with a Lightless Sword!

That was the one!

But what should he choose for the third setting?

[Simp]?

Even [Slime] sounded better than that.

After a moment's thought, Bai Xuan decided to refresh.

A Refresh Scroll was meant to be used.

"Refresh!"

[Little Boy] → [Uncle]

"Refresh!"

[Uncle] → [Succubus]

"Huh?"

Bai Xuan's eyes lit up at the newly refreshed setting.

[Succubus] was clearly better than the other options. After all, succubi were born with magic. The only question was whether it might clash with [Holy Knight].

But that didn't matter. One was a race, the other a profession. There wouldn't be an error in the underlying code.

You're the one!

[Editing Character Setting...]

[You have chosen "Succubus Holy Knight Wielding the Lightless Sword"!]

[Summoning a Legend matching your Character Setting...]

As the words flickered, dazzling light burst forth!

At the same time, a cool, ethereal voice rang in Bai Xuan's ears, reciting an oath:

[Justice! Order! Sacred Judgment! Honor! Sacrifice! Valor! Mercy! Humility!]

[I swear to fight for justice! I swear to fight for the world! I swear to fight for you!]

A female knight emerged from the light, clad in white-and-gold armor, her long hair a pale gold.

The moment she appeared, she turned sea-blue eyes toward Bai Xuan on the sofa and asked in a calm, clear voice:

"Are you my Master?"

"Yes..."

Bai Xuan nodded, though a flicker of confusion crossed his mind.

He couldn't sense any effect from the [Succubus] setting.

He had always imagined a succubus would have an alluring aura that could unsettle someone with a single glance.

The blonde knight before him was stunning—even more so than actresses on television—but her expression was cool, her eyes seemingly untouched by emotion. She looked like a Holy Knight without feelings.

"Hello. I'm Bai Xuan."

Bai Xuan put the thought aside and naturally held out his hand.

Just then, her information appeared on the blue screen:

[Xilin]

[Age: 23]

[Quality: Epic]

[Level: F (linked to yours)]

[Identity: Holy Knight (Blue)]

[Affection: 60]

[Lightless Sword (Purple): Possesses a Lightless Sword that can theoretically sever anything (without light, shadow, form, or sound).]

What?

Epic!

1.98%!

Bai Xuan couldn't help smiling. His luck really was good.

And the Lightless Sword was every bit as powerful as it sounded!

High ratings across every attribute, plus both Holy Knight and Succubus skills—Bai Xuan was more than satisfied with this Legend.

"My name is Xilin."

The female knight took Bai Xuan's hand and said, "I hope my sword can serve you."

As she spoke, she placed a hand on her sword hilt.

Bai Xuan followed the movement with his eyes, only to find nothing beneath her hand. She held it as though gripping a sword, but her fingers hovered in empty air.

So that's the Lightless Sword?

After summoning his first Legend, Bai Xuan turned back to the blue screen and opened [World Quest] with a thought.

A world map appeared instantly. Thousands of red points glimmered across the globe.

They marked unresolved Anomalous Calamities around the world. The brighter a point shone, the higher the Anomalies' grade.

[Mission Map]

[Map Level: 1 (0/5)] (Complete five missions)

[Teleportation: The Teleportation Array can be activated only once per day. It resets at midnight.]

[Tip: Raise the map level to increase the number of daily teleports and unlock other functions.]

With another thought, Bai Xuan focused the Mission Map on Ninghang City in Huaguo.

[Six missions are available in the current area.]

Mission details appeared before him, showing the Anomalous Calamities currently unfolding in Ninghang City—four F-grade and two E-grade.

Bai Xuan skimmed them, then opened one.

[World Quest: Ghoul Eater]

[Difficulty: F]

[Location: Near Baida Plaza, Ninghang City, Huaguo]

[Description: A Ghoul is lurking near Baida Plaza, hunting for tonight's dinner.]

[Tip: It fears Holy Light. Watch out for its Kagune!]

[Reward: ?]

"Kagune?"

Bai Xuan raised an eyebrow.

What kind of Ghoul are you?

Still, Xilin had Holy Knight skills. She would have a clear advantage against a Ghoul.

Bai Xuan accepted the mission at once, and a prompt appeared on the blue screen:

[Teleport near the mission location?]

"Yes."

[Teleportation Array activated!]

A pink Magic Circle appeared on the living room floor.

"Let's go, Xilin."

"Mm."

Bai Xuan and Xilin stepped into the Magic Circle. The next second, pink light enveloped them both.

Then the light flashed, and they vanished.

"Oh, miss~"

In a dark alley, a purple-haired photographer wearing glasses took pictures of a female cosplayer lying in a pool of blood.

She pressed the shutter again and again, drooling as she praised her:

"Your body is so beautiful~"

"Look at that snow-white skin~ Those slender limbs, smooth as jade~ And those luscious breasts~"

"You're a perfect work of art~"

"I love you so much~"

"I wish I could stay with you forever!"

"But I'm hungry~"

As soon as she finished speaking, her fingers pierced the woman's chest, stabbed into her heart, and tore it out.

She was about to bring it to her mouth, as though savoring a delicacy.

"What are you doing?"

A Police Officer appeared at the street intersection. Spotting the scene in the darkness, he immediately shouted a challenge.

"Ah~"

The woman sighed and complained, "Why does someone always interrupt me when I'm eating? I'll have to find a more secluded 'restaurant' next time!"

As a Ghoul, Xu Yan hated nothing more than being disturbed during a meal. It put her in a foul mood.

While she spoke, the Police Officer switched on his flashlight and saw the blood-soaked horror in the alley.

He immediately shouted into his radio, "This is Seventh Street Intersection by Baida Plaza. There's been a murder! One suspicious woman at the scene. I need backup urgently!"

He drew his sidearm and aimed it at Xu Yan. "Hands up! Don't move!"

"I hate it when people interrupt my meals~ So..."

Xu Yan wiped the corner of her mouth with a bloodstained fingertip, then fixed the Police Officer with an icy stare. "Sorry for the trouble, but could you die for me~"

The instant she finished speaking, a blood-red tail like a scorpion's shot out from her back.

"Damn it! An Anomaly!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Ah!"

Gunshots rang out, followed by the Police Officer's scream...
