Chapter 39 - 37: This is something that can only happen on the IF line
Kroel left.
Leaving Braised Donut with a bewildered expression on his face.
Speaking of this item, and this introduction... Is it passing the audit?
Is there another Incubus existing in this territory?
Thinking again of the well-known Incubus Lord Kael during the beta test...
Hiss!!!
Braised Donut took a deep breath, turned around, took a screenshot of the information detected on the system panel, and then opened the game’s forum...
He chose the "Fanart" category, entered the title [My Secret with the Puppet (1)].
The "Puppet" was a nickname for the Incubus Lord Kael.D.Helois.
Now "Gate to the Netherworld" had become a viral hit.
First, the game review god [Little Kitten of Others] drew attention with a short video that gained over thirty million views and over a million likes.
Unfortunately, while he had been so tough when dissing the AS professional player Nai Feitian, his attitude was incredibly humble when he spent money to buy the beta test code.
As a result, the comments below the video were densely packed with "It’s late but delicious" remarks.
With top-tier content creators and professional players giving so much attention to this game, naturally, the game’s popularity skyrocketed, and besides...
Hase-hase~ Can anyone really resist the charm of Kael’s body? Can they? Can they?
If "Gate to the Netherworld" broke out due to praises from a group of game content creators and professional players, along with various meme videos, then when the heat rose, the one who carried the entire game to new heights was Kael’s airborne waltz, his hollow gaze, and the smiling glance he gave upon landing in the promotional video.
Elegant, so elegant!
Like a delicate puppet manipulated at will, playing a magnificent symphony; you’d never guess how popular Kael was in various chat groups.
A ton of emoticons came out.
Kael wagging his little tail.
Kael’s smiling glance.
Kael quietly staring at you.
Kael enjoying the scenery...
A bunch of emoticons started all kinds of dirty talk in various chat groups, so much so that even beyond the beta testing groups, Kael earned the beautiful nickname of "Puppet."
Braised Donut even heard that some unscrupulous page games directly intercepted Kael’s segment from the "Gate to the Netherworld" promotional video and used it as their pop-up ads on various websites, resulting in a lawsuit and paying quite a bit in fines.
Even more ridiculous was that, according to some reports, even with the fine, the short-term traffic attracted because of Kael still made them a small profit.
Envy (longing eyes).jgp
Doesn’t this traffic cheat make you tempted?
Are you tempted?
I’m tempted!
Is there anyone who isn’t tempted?
Bastard!
Send! Send it all! Today I declare that I am the brightest kid in the entire forum, without a doubt!
Now I am going to wipe off the tragic experience of being stabbed with a pitchfork after killing a chicken, posting on the forum to complain, and then being pinned to the top, laughed at by all the players for two consecutive days!
...
Meanwhile, night fell.
At this moment, in Kael’s study in the Lord Mansion, Kael was leaning on his resting spot.
He gently let go of the little tail he was playing with, the hazy look in his eyes gradually regaining brightness, a trace of helplessness flashing in his mind.
The experiment to weaken the sensitivity of his little tail had failed.
A few days ago, while routinely practicing Silk Thread Manipulation, because of a momentary distraction, the Magic Silk Thread hooked off-center and wrapped around his tail.
At that moment, he only felt a numbing and slightly stinging sensation pervade his whole body.
Kael had never experienced such a sensation; with a stumble, he was hanging in mid-air, the orderly Magic Silk Thread turned into a tangled mess because of the fleeting pleasure, binding himself tightly.
Then he immediately understood the annoyance of having a tail... Honestly, if you don’t count the potential drawback of it being a weak point in battle, it’s not that annoying, even somewhat blissful.
He vaguely remembered that many players who randomly became tailed races in the later stages would go and learn the Half-Orc Race’s special skill [Iron Tail].
It was said that after learning [Iron Tail], one could greatly mitigate the annoyance of the sensory overload on the tail and even use the tail for attacks.
To this end, he specifically learned a massage technique to aid in learning [Iron Tail] from a maid of the Snow Wolf Clan at home.
The feeling brought by that massage technique, in retrospect, was a nightmare.
If Kael hadn’t consistently cast Queen Moli’s focus and calm spell before starting, every young maid in this Lord Mansion tonight wouldn’t have been able to escape.
However, it’s evident that this scenario is something that could only happen in an IF line.
Tonight, it was time to learn Iron Tail smoothly.
But...
Thinking about this, Kael ground his teeth in anger.
Good news, he had learned a new skill.
Bad news, it wasn’t Iron Tail.
...
[Overreaction] (New) - After the little tail of an Incubus is influenced by the Snow Wolf Clan’s Iron Tail technique, the inactive cells are activated, revitalizing the Incubus.
In this state, your little tail will become more aggressive, and its controllability will significantly improve. At the same time, spells cast through the Incubus tail will automatically rise by 1 level.
(Oh, dear Little Incubus, the tails of Orcs and Half-Orcs are different from those of Incubi; the more an Incubus’s tail is trained, the more aggressive it becomes, as it is inherently the casting medium for specific spells.
The Snow Wolf Clan’s special massage technique won’t help you learn [Iron Tail]; instead, it will further stimulate the power of your Incubus bloodline within you.
This is a gift from the Abyss Will to Incubi; congratulations, you have become even more delicious.)
...
Should he be happy or ashamed?
Even though there aren’t many spells that can be practically used through the Incubus tail, the ability to directly level up spells is quite a game-breaker.
Sweet Scent, Power Drain, and Tail Injection were essentially boosted by one skill point, effectively upgrading three skills.
Feeling his tail becoming stronger and more controllable, he couldn’t help but sigh.
It seemed he still needed to get used to it.
This feeling brought him a blissful annoyance, and in the end, he could only sigh helplessly, thinking:
"Forget it, let’s see what those silly players on the forum are praising me for again in the middle of the night!"
Thinking this, Kael casually opened the forum...
Then his expression froze, and for a moment, he was somewhat flustered.
At the top post, a title caught his eye—
[My Secret with the Puppet (1) (Explosion↑)]
[Posted by: Braised Donut]
A quick glance at the content, various cliched middle school essays, made him lose interest; even making things up couldn’t have been more interesting.
But the post went viral, obviously for a good reason.
The only reason was just because of that screenshot.
[Beacon Oil - Queen Moli]
[Usage: Omitted]
[Evaluation: Ah, it’s the young master’s scent—from the shy murmur of a certain Snow Wolf Clan maid in the night]
This screenshot truly shocked the world, and even some players began to offer prices to Braised Donut.
"Hehe~ Ahahaha~ As expected of players, so bold! Do you really think I’m blind and won’t check the forum? Braised Donut, huh? Why don’t you go die! Just wait and see tomorrow, hmm..."
Kael was stunned for a moment and noticed that one minute ago, Braised Donut had commented under the post: "Oh shit, brothers, we have a cheater; I got my head twisted off before I even saw the person! The item is gone, and my brother sprinkled it out before he died."
Hmm? What was going on?
