I unlocked the door to the third room and stepped inside. It was a simple but incredibly clean setup.
A large bed, a door leading to the bathroom, a desk, a chair by the window, and a full-length mirror by the wall.
But most importantly, it had thick walls and a sturdy lock.
Snapping in the deadbolt, I practically collapsed onto the mattress, letting out a long groan as my spine complained again.
[Man, my back is killing me.]
To be clear, I wasn't sexually tired.
I am supposed to be a Royal Incubus. Being sexually exhausted would be a literal joke.
My tank was still full and ready for round ten. But physically? My average human muscles were screaming. Sergeant Kaelen was no joke, and keeping up with her took a serious toll on my joints.
I stared up at the wooden ceiling, letting the reality of the situation finally sink in.
I was in an honest-to-god fantasy world. I had an honest-to-god system. And I was a literal sex demon in what looked like a matriarchy.
A laugh couldn't help but bubble up in my chest.
Back on Earth, I was a massive fan of the isekai fantasy genre. I knew the tropes.
And lying here, between the crazy sex and the dragon I saw earlier, I decided right then and there to make the absolute most of this second life.
Contrary to what my race might suggest, my brain wasn't just a constant loop of horny thoughts.
To me, sex had always been just a very fun means to an end.
Back home, it was a tool to secure a luxury lifestyle without working a miserable nine-to-five.
Here? It was a fun tool to grind EXP and get ridiculously strong, and buy myself time.
And getting strong started right now.
I pulled the interface back up, focusing on the stat points I got.
-Ding!
{[Protocol: Asmodeus]
Stat Points: 6}
I dumped four points directly into STR and the remaining two into END.
A sudden, intense heat washed over my body. My muscles seized up for a split second before relaxing completely as the dull, throbbing ache in my lower back, neck and thighs instantly vanished, replaced by a coiled, dense energy.
I clenched my fist, feeling a noticeable difference in the grip strength.
[Huh… stat allocation restores fatigue. But does it heal too?]
I sat up and cracked my neck, deciding on testing it out the next time.
Now that my body wasn't falling apart, I needed a plan for tomorrow. And if I was going to do the whole isekai protagonist thing properly, there was really only one place to start.
I needed to go to the Adventurer's Guild.
It would also be the perfect hunting ground.
High-tier women with plenty of life force, EXP, and Nibbles, along with a constant stream of monsters to test my Demon Fire on and net some additional EXP.
It would also be a solid cover story and net me proper documents.
Making Adventurer's Guild my first stop really was a no-brainer.
[Now onto the next best thing…]
I mentally clicked on the System Shop tab to see what those Lusty Nibbles could actually buy.

The text just kept scrolling in an endless catalog of fantasy gear and magic. But right at the very top of the interface, a small search bar floated in the middle.
Since the whole thing operated on mental commands, I didn't even have to lift a finger. I leaned back against the headboard and thought about my options.
I was an average guy in a world full of superhuman women and literal monsters.
A wide grin spread across my face. I knew exactly what I wanted.
I focused my intent and mentally typed a single word into the search bar.
Guns.
-Ding!
{Error: Item(s) incompatible with current Realm parameters. Item category locked.}
[Figures.] I thought as I dismissed the error notification with a mental swipe.
Well, it was worth a shot. If I couldn't bring modern firepower to a sword fight, I would just have to find the next best thing.
Living on the dime of powerful women back on Earth came with a few occupational hazards.
Jealous husbands, exes, and angry rivals meant attempts on my life weren't exactly rare. I had to learn how to defend myself just to survive my own lifestyle.
So, I picked up mixed martial arts along with training in the staff, the baton, and the karambit.
Even learned Mongolian-style archery. It started as a fun hobby, but quickly became a very viable option for keeping people at a distance.
I was once literally shooting arrows from my balcony at the crazed husband of Lawyer-Type I was messing around with, like I was in some tower defense game.
Chuckling, I mentally cleared the search bar and typed again.
I didn't know what kind of monsters lived inside this world's dungeons, and rushing to the front lines with a sword sounded like a fantastic way to get ripped in half.
A bow was the wiser choice. I could easily slither into a party of adventurers and provide long-range support from the back. I could watch how things worked, learn the rules of this world, and stay out of the splash zone.
More importantly, joining a party meant surrounding myself with strong women. It was the perfect setup.
If we were traveling together, I would have a dedicated group to regularly farm for EXP and lifespan. I wouldn't even need to hunt for a new target every single night.
Work smarter, not harder.
The shop menu updated, filling my vision with rows of weapons.
I instantly filtered out the expensive stuff and focused on the basics as I scrolled through the holographic options before stopping on a sleek black Mongolian-style recurve bow.
It was only of Common Rarity, but it boasted a heavy draw weight of 150 pounds.
With my newly upgraded Strength stat, I should be able to draw it without tearing a muscle.
I added that bow to the cart along with the necessary gear to go with it.
