A Brat and A Narcissistic Father I\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I plopped myself onto the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"TV?\" I offered to turn on the TV. My hand opened my can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, thanks,\" he replied and sat beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at him from the corner of my eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what do you want to talk about? A pep talk?\" I asked before I sipped my drink. It tasted like cola, just a bit bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pep talk?\" he scoffed. \"Do you think I'm the kind of person who will do it?\" I could catch a trace of cynicism in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shrugged. \"So what do you want to talk about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was silent for a moment, trying to find a topic of conversation. \"You've been staying for a few weeks. What do you think of the dark dimension?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I cringed upon his question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Even though I heard him clearly, I couldn't believe my ears. If I was a tourist, that was the right question for me. But I wasn't. It didn't matter what I thought about the dark dimension, whether I liked it or not... I was going to stay here and take over his throne one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled wryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Like I said this is useless talk,\" he said nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can I say? This world is different from the human world, including the law and everything. So I still have to learn it. But I'm glad that this world has everything that humans have. I thought I would be stuck in a similar world to the medieval era,\" I decided to answer him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the others, I haven't explored this world much. What I know are only a few cities, this mansion and the 99th floor,\" I added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was you who wanted to hide your identity and become a secret agent. Don't blame me for that,\" he complained about my last statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's better than being isolated in the human world and waiting for the all-mighty demon king to clear things up. After all, weren't you planning to hide my identity from the start?\" Yeah, I said that 'all-mighty king' in an annoying tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are just a kid. I just wanted to protect you,\" he reminded me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made me turn to him. A frown on my forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"19 years is considered an adult in the human world. \" This time I was the one who reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like me, he turned to me. A frown on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are aware that the demon's lifespan can be more than 2000 years, right?\" He gave me another reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was raised as a human. Don't push your demon logic on me,\" I complained. I knew I was weak before, but I didn't like being treated like a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are a demon now. So yes, you should use your demon logic more,\" he said in annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the fact is I'm not a kid anymore and don't act like one. I've proven myself and am much stronger now.\" I had proven a lot to him so I couldn't accept this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After those worrying training? Yeah, right. I'm pretty happy I didn't get a heart attack when you lost in the Abyss,\" he scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I gave him a flat stare. Okay, the fact that he was looking for me in the Abyss already showed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were the one who permitted me. Besides, it wasn't my fault,\" I added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was. But you should know your limit. Bravery and stupidity are two different things,\" he reminded me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know where my limit is. I've made careful plans before I do a thing,\" I retorted. Well except for what happened in the last tier of the Abyss. That was beyond my prediction and I was sure it was also beyond his. \"Or do you prefer a coward son? Besides, doesn't that bravery and stupidity thing suit you better? You are weakened but you still act as if nothing happened. Take a vacation. Go to the beach or something,\" I continued in an annoying tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was enough to trigger him. He raised his chin arrogantly. His eyes stared at me intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you underestimate me?\" he asked in displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was you who started it first. You just called me stupid despite my rapid development,\" I reminded him. Seriously, I didn't get it. Why our father and son relationship was not like my previous relationship with my human father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We glared at each other for a few moments. Our annoyance was clear on our faces. Even though I wanted to challenge him for a round, I decided to swallow it. He just fixed the border and his energy hadn't fully returned yet. Plus he had to be on high alert since I was about to execute my plan. So I couldn't do it over my ego.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if on cue, we sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it...\" we spoke in unison like a chorus. It was enough to create an awkward silence between us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I was not sure, I bet he said it because he knew I had to execute my plan tomorrow morning. So we shouldn't be fighting for this stupid reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chugged my cola again before I took the remote and turned on the TV without his permission. I wanted to avoid this awkward silence so the TV sound should be able to reduce it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there was no interesting film other than the wildlife documentary on the dark dimension. But I decided to watch it and hoped it would make me sleepy. It was kinda similar to watching how a lion hunted in the middle of a savanna with many gory scenes and horror special effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes of awkward silence, Lord Damon spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That first question. I asked it since I don't want you to regret it,\" he asked out of the blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned to him and gave him another frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" My confusion was clear from the tone of my voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will rule this place one day and I just want to make sure that you don't hate it,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought I had no choice for that,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't. I don't.\" A regretful exhale left his mouth. \"I realize I have forced you to take this duty and it will be your responsibility for the rest of your life. You are still young and raised as a human being. I believe you have had other dreams before and I took it from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really,\" I replied, turning my eyes to the TV and drinking my cola again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I took a Management major at Diamond College in the hope I had enough knowledge to manage my own business someday. Moreover, it also taught me how I could start my own in the final semester.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But rather than a simpler thing like that, fate said differently. I had to manage my own kingdom in the future. Well, on the bright side I could still put good use of what I learned in college even though theory and real things were two different things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>>Read the original on \u002Fbook\u002Fthe-incubus-system_17150947806784305\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>>Read more than 172 chapters ahead of TIS + 5 weekly update + 61 Extra R18 chapters + access to all R18 ASMR +R18 poll R18 scene\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>86 chapter ahead of DKH & 10 chapter ahead of DM + 2 weekly update\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>58 chapters ahead of SSS +4 weekly update\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Total= 387 chapters+13 weekly update\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My Pat*reon-page: \u002Fnanakawaichan\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(erase the *)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My ko-fi page: \u002Fnanakawaichan\u003C\u002Fp>",1272,"2026-06-05T22:19:02.400Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef0e3a6818d6599fa4fc0cbeec453d09880f4b505d3a87819e819f0ed8adb792","the-incubus-system-chapter-485","the-incubus-system-chapter-483",873,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-incubus-system-cover.jpg"]
