Awakening：The Infinite Evolution of My Talent as a Low-Level Awakener

Sterl smiled as he watched the troll, who seemed quite trustworthy, throw out the payout. As for those demanding refunds, they couldn't catch him; the troll vanished without a trace using some unknown escape technique.

It was no wonder this troll could run a gambling den; he was surprisingly reliable. He could have easily taken all the money for himself.

As Sterl enjoyed the show, he couldn't help but think to himself.

However…

Just as he was about to leave the camp and prepare for his tasks, someone intercepted him.

Before the person even arrived, a strange fragrance wafted through the air, making Sterl feel a sudden heat wash over him.

"Mr. Mephistopheles, you truly are a hidden gem," a voice purred enticingly.

"Perhaps I should have been more forceful in inviting you earlier."

"After all, with your strength, you could certainly hold out for quite a while."

"Alas, it seems I've completely lost my chance now."

The voice belonged to none other than the Supreme-level Succubus he had encountered not long ago, who had changed into an outfit reminiscent of a qipao from his previous life.

The indigo fabric perfectly accentuated her figure, and the hem of her dress subtly revealed her long, slender thighs.

At that moment, the Supreme Succubus moved closer, even reaching out to stroke Sterl's face, her legs entwining around him. This scene caused a group of passing hell players and demons to turn pale with fear, hastily fleeing as if they had seen a plague.

Simultaneously, some onlookers whispered in glee.

"Looks like someone else has caught Flanda's eye?"

"Seems like he's just a demigod; I estimate he'll last at most two days?"

"Two days! One night! Last time, that perfect-level demigod barely lasted a few hours."

"Honestly, if I didn't lack the skill for perfect resurrection, I'd want to experience that myself…"

Hearing their words, Sterl felt no fear; instead, he was a bit excited. After all, how exhilarating could that experience be, even if it meant risking resurrection?

Yet, despite his wild thoughts, his mind remained clear. Sterl didn't hesitate and wrapped his arms around the Succubus's waist, leaning in closer.

"I'd love to have a deep conversation with you, but it seems a bit too dangerous. Perhaps I should pass."

"Danger? No, no, no!" Flanda giggled.

"I can't possibly threaten you."

"This body of yours hasn't been used at all."

"So I wouldn't dare touch you."

"Do you genuinely not know, or are you just pretending? This camp is overseen by the Queen herself, and she is currently at a standoff with the main world deities on the battlefield."

"While she can't leave, she still has control over every move in this camp."

"Why not just stay hidden? Why reveal your true strength now?"

"So—"

"I'm not here to play with you."

As Flanda spoke, Sterl suddenly realized that things were becoming quite perilous.

Your Majesty the Queen??

From Flanda's words, it seemed she had a superior. The question was, if Flanda was already a Supreme-level demigod, then the "Queen" must be one of the divine-level demons, right?

A divine-level Succubus??

Considering Flanda's implications, Sterl reasoned through several conclusions. First, in a certain sense, his new character could still be considered "virgin."

His interaction with Flanda confirmed that Succubi likely favored humanoid aesthetics and had a penchant for strength, including that of the Queen.

Furthermore, a divine-level Succubus was keeping an eye on the camp, meaning that just when he finally attempted to lay low, he was directly targeted by a top-tier powerhouse.

Although this wasn't the typical sense of being targeted, it was still significant.

However, judging by the words of the Swallowing Heaven players earlier, even a Supreme-level Succubus was terrifying. A divine-level one? Sterl felt his body wouldn't be able to withstand it.

But… it seemed this matter was beyond his control.

Flanda's seemingly flirtatious movements were actually marking him with a pink sigil. The sigil sent surges of electricity through him, accompanied by an extremely faint pleasure that immediately put Sterl on high alert.

"Don't make that face," Flanda teased, licking her lips.

"I won't do anything to you; the Queen has her eyes on her prey, and no one else can touch you."

"And you don't need to worry too much; someone with your potential is too valuable for the Queen to let die."

"You'll soon understand what true happiness means and be willing to give everything for Her Majesty the Queen." Flanda stepped back, adopting a half-crouched posture, stretching out her bat-like wings, exuding a primal allure.

Seeing Mephistopheles's expression shift slightly, she couldn't help but giggle.

What Flanda failed to realize was…

Sterl suddenly had an epiphany.

The pink energy form.

What Flanda referred to as "giving everything to the Queen."

This meant that the Supreme demon who had previously made the self-sacrificial arrangement must be a puppet of the Succubus Queen, right??

Sterl quickly connected the dots.

He realized that being targeted might actually be a good thing. The image of that Supreme demon was not humanoid; the fact that it could defy nature to give everything for the Succubus Queen likely stemmed from her "special abilities." The Supreme demon had been conquered in bed.

Sterl immediately understood that setting up formations ahead of time was undoubtedly a crucial part of the Succubus Queen's strategy to seize benefits in this region.

The fact that she could confidently send a Supreme demon meant she had a high level of trust in her partner…

He suddenly felt that he might be able to take the opportunity to lurk near the divine-level demon and stir up some trouble.

After all, he possessed top-tier formation talent, coupled with Divine Power as his trump card.

Anyone who dared to play formations in front of Sterl would certainly face backlash. The only issue was—

Sterl felt he would undoubtedly be controlled…

After all, that ability to enchant through charm was likely reliant on Divine Power, an Iridescent-Level ability. What right did he have to resist it?

Even if he could, Sterl figured it was better to assume he couldn't.

He quickly extinguished the plan that had just sparked in his mind.

This enchanting ability would likely be extremely nauseating and troublesome; it was possible that even if he logged off and returned to reality, he wouldn't be able to escape it.

It seemed that once he was targeted by the Succubus Queen, he would have to switch back to his main character for now.

Sterl felt somewhat frustrated.

Meanwhile, Flanda soared into the sky and tossed him a glowing orb.

"Don't look so glum."

"If you want to live a little longer, practice this skill."

"Who knows, it might let you enjoy yourself later on."

"When the Queen returns to the camp, all you have to do is give it a try, and you'll understand what it means to be entranced."

Flanda said this with a grin, her eyes flashing with a hint of pink light.

"I'm also half an introducer for you; once the Queen is done enjoying herself, if you're interested, you can come find me."

"I won't disappoint you either."

"And don't let Her Majesty the Queen down; she entrusted me to give you something extremely precious."

"I think you have great potential, and there's a chance you could become the Queen's true companion."

With that, the Supreme Succubus let out a series of laughter and disappeared into the sky.

At that moment, Sterl noticed that many players around him had let out sighs of relief. Clearly, Flanda had been quite enthusiastic about "Mephistopheles," but for ordinary hell players and demons who didn't meet her aesthetic standards, she could be rather brutal…

Sterl didn't rush to act. It was obvious that the Succubus Queen would take some time to return from the front lines, and perhaps he could find a way to farm some resources first before switching characters.

It was a shame; he had initially wanted to acquire a flawed Iridescent-Level skill, but now that opportunity seemed lost.

Wait a minute, this glowing orb…

Suddenly, he realized that it was a skill.

After considering it for a moment, he decided to learn the skill.

A new prompt appeared on Sterl's panel—

[You have gained a new ability: Solidification Method (Platinum/Flawed Iridescent-Level)]

Sterl clicked to open the skill's description.

[Solidification Method (Platinum/Flawed Iridescent-Level)] +

[Description: In a main world conquered by the Succubus Queen after her ascension, there existed a Buddhist nation with monks who cultivated to resist desire as a means of strengthening their power. Unfortunately, even though the Buddhist nation initially withstood the Succubus's onslaught for a long time, once their mental state was breached, the desires they ignited became even more terrifying.

The Succubus Queen collected various techniques from the Buddhist nation, organizing them into a skill with the purpose of allowing her prized toys to endure a little longer. The Buddhist nation once successfully resisted divine-level temptations, but their texts were scattered, and their skills never reached their peak, ultimately leading to their failure.]

[Effect: Enhances resistance to charms and other mental abnormalities, boosts physical fitness and sexual capabilities, increases resilience to damage, and enhances resistance to all anomalies.]

[Tip: This skill was originally a flawed Iridescent-Level ability, but due to modifications and the addition of some chapters, the skill's operation has become chaotic, resulting in a drop in quality.]

[Tip: When proficiency is high, you can attempt to remove the extra chapters and restore the skill's operation.]

Huh?

Huh???

Sterl was stunned.

Wait, he had previously thought that acquiring a flawed Iridescent-Level ability would take a lot of effort.

This wasn't about the past.

Even now, if he wanted to exchange for a flawed Iridescent-Level ability from the Hell faction or the Main World faction, he'd have to work tirelessly to earn contributions.

And now, he was just handed one without even trying?

This is… happiness arriving way too suddenly.

Even though this Iridescent-Level ability seemed underwhelming and was all passive traits, the fact that everything was passive meant that the stats it provided would definitely be high!
