Chapter 1 – The Birth of Incubus

Twenty-one years have already passed since I woke up in a different world.
The childhood wrapped in swaddling clothes and bursting into tears is over,
The days of being a boy in an orphanage were also over.

On a continent where countless heterogeneous races thrive,
When I finally became an adult, I could admit.
That I was born into a species worse than a bug.

*

“I heard that a goblin hunting party is being recruited.

A city in the early morning when the birds are chirping.
Near the gate leading out of the city, I was talking to adventurers.

They are adventurers recruiting a party to hunt goblins.
A young woman who seemed to be the leader among them immediately greeted me.

“Yes, this is a goblin hunting party. I’m the party leader, Neria. What’s your name? Do you have any special skills?”
“I’m Luke. I can handle a crossbow. He has a good sense of reading signs, so I can take on the role of a seeker. I can guarantee that I can play the role of a ranger in a party. And I also have a lot of knowledge about monsters… “

A woman who asks me for specs.
As I spit in my mouth, I increased the spec explanation. As if my verbal skills were not so bad, the woman’s expression gradually loosened up.

“You mean you can handle a crossbow and set simple traps. You have quite useful skills.

You almost fell for my flashy tongue.
All that’s left now is to join the party and have a fun and rewarding hunting time.

It was a time when I was relieved thinking about that.

“What?”

Suddenly, the woman raised a suspicious voice.
The woman’s eyes were directed over my head.

To be precise, the horns of a goat sprouting from her head.

“Now, wait a minute. Mr. Luke. What is your race?”

A puzzled gaze and a voice filled with fear.
I swallowed my saliva at the woman’s demeanor, which instantly changed.

“It’s an incubus. Is there something wrong?”
“This, an incubus? That pervert race that is said to be impure from birth…?”
“…It’s not perverted.”
“So, I’ve heard it all through rumors. Incubuses rape women as a hobby. They say that you should never get close to them in order to keep your chastity.”
“How can you make raping a hobby? It’s all nonsense and prejudice. I hate incubus.”
“How do you know if it’s prejudice or not? I don’t trust your looks at all to see for yourself.”
“What’s wrong with my appearance!”
“That’s it, with blonde hair and tanned skin… Just being in the same room takes your breath away.”
“…”

I was silent.
I had no choice but to be silent.
My appearance was too impressive to protest.

Blond hair and tanned skin that look like they’ve been tanned.
On top of that, even the horns on the head revealing that it is an incubus.

The ultimate male that can impregnate anything alive.
The Golden Sun Incubus that tore Hitomi apart.

That was me, Luke.

It is not incomprehensible that this female adventurer is wary of me. I opened my mouth in a calm voice to clear up the misunderstanding.

‘You must never surprise this person.’

With that mindset.

“Don’t worry. I’m a harmless incubus. How harmless I am still a virgin. I’ve never even dated her girlfriend.”
“Don’t berate me. Where in the world is the virgin incubus?”
“Right here. Voila—.”
“It sucks.”
“I just…What?”

The female adventurer spat and said.

“Don’t give a damn.”

Sreung!
At some point, she had the knife pulled from her waist. The tip of the knife is aimed precisely at my forehead. With the momentum that would pierce her through the head if she did something suspicious at any time.

“Ka, why are you drawing the sword?”
“Do you think I am meeting an incubus for the first time? One stallion foal!”
“Gee, calm down. I have no intention of raping you.”

At this point, I’m too embarrassed.
This woman named Neria is not particularly to my liking.
The racial barrier is too high to resolve misunderstandings through conversation.

“Noisy…! You’re thinking of attacking me! Like the dirty pornography sold on the street!”

Neria screaming loudly on the street in front of the open city gate.
The high-pitched screams caused the fellow adventurers gathered nearby to stealthily pay attention.

“What, what’s going on Neria?”
“Who’s attacking you?”
“There’s an incubus here!! It’s trying to attack me!!”

At Neria’s instigation, the atmosphere among the adventurers instantly turned violent.
I started to walk backwards in a cold sweat.

I feel like I’ll be beaten if I stay still like this. Since ancient times, the ability to read the atmosphere has been excellent. Originally, in a case like this, it’s the law to cover it up and make the man a criminal. Needless to say, if the race is an incubus.

It was time to run away.
Of course, even when I go, I have to say something and leave.

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.

“Fuck it, bitch.”
“What, what?!”
“I didn’t even know it was a woman when I first saw it, bitch. No matter how incubus you are, you won’t touch an ugly woman. Just looking at your fucking face, you’d look perfect with a male orc.”

Pudeuk.
I heard Neria grinding her teeth.

“This fucking baby!

The swear words I put in my mouth seemed to hit my bones. Leaving Neria screaming out of nowhere, I quickly turned my back and ran away. I heard the footsteps of the adventurers chasing me from behind, so I ran for a while.

How long did you run and run again?
When the sun rose in the middle of the sky and it was time for lunch, I finally succeeded in getting the adventurers out of the way.

“Under…”

A body that is needlessly drained of energy.
Drops of sweat dripped down my back like rain.

To be honest, I’m exhausted.
It’s not that I’m tired because I’m out of stamina.
This wasn’t the first time I’d been rejected from a party for being an incubus. Two years have already passed since I entered the adventurer industry. During those two years, I received all sorts of contempt and persecution from people in the industry.

– You are an incubus, right? Look what it looks like. It’s really savage.
– I’m sorry, but Incubus can’t join our party. I don’t want to get close to people who treat party members as daughters.
– His arm muscles are quite tolerable. After all, that’s a daughter. Have you ever wielded a knife?

Whenever I recall the past, I sigh.

“All the inhabitants of another world.”

I muttered in a voice mixed with crying.

“Please stop hating the incubus.”

Of course, even if you pray with a desperate voice, no miracle will happen. Although there really are gods in this world, there are no gods merciful enough to listen to the voices of inferior beings like me.

An incubus is always an incubus.

Adventurer party employment rate 5%.
A race of miracles that are rejected from parties without asking or questioning.

Acknowledging this reality, I had no choice but to go hunting alone today.
It was dangerous to hunt monsters alone, but there was no choice.
I don’t even have money for food, so if I don’t work today, I’m in danger of starving to death.
Adventurers who live day by day are always tight on money.

*

There were several hunting grounds inhabited by goblins near the city I made a base for.

Morris Forest.
A hunting ground that is not too far away to be reached on foot.

Arriving in Morris Forest after a while, I took my crossbow and hid myself in the bushes.
It was a crossbow with enough power to defeat a weak monster like a goblin.

After riding in the air for a while, a small green monster caught my eye before I knew it.

Kishisit.
A green monster roaming leisurely in the woods while letting out its characteristic cry.
Finally, the goblin appeared before my eyes.

“Huh.”

I held my breath and aimed at the goblin.
The goblin was walking alone in the forest, away from the group. Judging by the fact that he picked up fruit that had fallen on the floor, it must have been his duty to gather food.
Now, when the prey is alone, is an opportunity to snip.

Just when the goblin stopped to pick up her fruit.
I calmly fired an arrow.

Wedge!

It was a hit.
The arrow pierced the wind and pierced the goblin’s stomach. The goblin fell to the ground and died instantly without even screaming.

One with this
Approaching the corpse, I pulled out the goblin’s molars and kept them.

The only thing that makes money for a goblin is their molars.
These guys’ molars are used as reagents in alchemy or something.

The hunt continued even after that.
The first goblin was fortunate enough to be killed, but hunting monsters is inherently risky. Before I could slay all the 10 goblins I had targeted, a crisis came upon me.

Kissy Sissy Sissy!!
Kishi sis sis sis sis!!

The cries of the goblins echoed through the forest.
The goblins, realizing that their people had been killed, began to search for them. The goblins who jumped out of the nest looked for me with lights on in their eyes.
I tried to move while hiding as much as possible, but I couldn’t handle the number of goblins by myself.

I was discovered.
Unfortunately, it was caused by stepping on a tree branch that had fallen to the ground.

“Fucked, fuck.”

With a bitter smile on my face, I ran without looking back.

Kissyyyyyyyy!!!!!

More than twenty goblins noticed my location and started pursuing me.
If caught, we’ll be taken to their lair for tonight’s meal. I don’t want to face the end of being eaten by goblins or something.

Fortunately, I am fairly confident in my escape skills.
I managed to get past the goblins and escape through the forest exit before the sun went down.

“Bastards who can’t even get a fistful of one on one—-.”

After sitting down on the street for a while to recover my strength, I suddenly realized that my situation was miserable.

If he had joined the party and went hunting, he wouldn’t have to run away.
If there’s a party member to entrust his back to, it’s a group of goblins.
However, adventurers who act alone cannot be looked down upon, even if they are goblins. You could lose your life after being hit in the back of the head by the stones thrown by the goblins from behind.

“Why were you born as an incubus?”

I lamented in a subdued voice.

“I just wish I was born as a human. I don’t get shunned at parties because of my race, and I date women normally…”

The horns on top of his head made him resent it.
Horns so thick that it is difficult to cover them up.
Because of these distinct physical characteristics, it was difficult to do a human cosplay, so the only thing that increased while living as an incubus was a sigh.

As time went on, by the time his stamina had recovered to some extent.
It was when I was walking aimlessly down the road leading to the city.

“Well?”

I spotted a peddler approaching from the other side.

It was an old man carrying a bag behind his back.
I thought it was a passing relationship as we went on our way, but for some reason the old man stopped walking as soon as he saw me.

It was dark, so I couldn’t see very well.
But even in the dark, I realized that the old man was staring right into my face.

“Don’t you need something?”

The old man suddenly spoke to me.

“Something that could turn your unhappy life upside down.”
