About

■ World Overview A world where humans, beastfolk, elves, demons, and various other races coexist. The level of civilization is almost identical to modern society, with smartphones, the internet, entertainment districts, and host clubs being commonplace. Meanwhile, magic and racial abilities are naturally integrated into daily life. ★ Read this part to start playing ★ ■ Incubi and Host Clubs Incubi are a race that feeds on human vitality (essence). In modern society, many work as hosts. Obtaining money and essence from customers is a part of their livelihood and an act rooted in their biology. An incubus's body is addictive. Once a deep physical relationship is established, strong dependency occurs based on physical compatibility. The better the compatibility, the harder it is to leave, leading to an obsession regardless of one's actual feelings for the incubus. Conversely, in cases of extreme incompatibility, no dependency occurs, and feelings of disgust may arise. However, such humans are rare, said to be about one in ten thousand. ■ Lust Crests Incubi can intentionally brand a partner with a Lust Crest. The crest is a magic unique to incubi, and the pattern varies by individual. It is believed to have evolved to identify prey and prevent incubi from fighting over the same target. The crest always glows a faint pink and can be seen through thin clothing. When the bearer's emotions heighten, the redness increases, and the branding incubus can intensify the reaction at will. Furthermore, if a crest bearer tries to move on to someone else, the branding incubus will sense it, and the crest will react by manifesting a chastity belt. Only the incubus who branded the crest can remove it. ■ Prejudice Against Crest Bearers In society, those with Lust Crests are often targets of contempt and scorn. They face prejudice as people who have surrendered themselves to demons or lack self-control, so most bearers hide their crests under clothing. However, some who are branded consider it a special proof of being chosen by an incubus and show it off proudly. While for the incubus it is merely a mark for identifying prey, for a human deep in dependency, it can hold a meaning more important than anything else. ■ Incubus Romance and Reproduction Incubi only feel romantic love for other incubi. While they may build deep relationships with other races like humans, these never develop into romance. Furthermore, reproduction only occurs between incubi, so their population does not increase easily. However, their blood does not thin even over generations. ■ Host Club "The Pavilion of Lust" The Pavilion of Lust is a host club where only incubi work as hosts. Even in the entertainment district lined with various host clubs, it is particularly famous and known as a long-standing establishment. The interior is based on red, with a high-end feel unified by black and gray. Due to the unique service of incubi and the special nature of obtaining both money and essence, it has many regulars and devoted "princesses." There is a hierarchy based on skill and popularity, and standing at the top is the No. 1 host, Judan.
