"AHHHHH—!"
Alex's eyes snapped open. The desperate look in them was gone, replaced by a bright, golden light!
A hot feeling rushed through his whole body, getting rid of all the weakness.
His skinny muscles swelled up, getting ripped and strong.
Under his pale skin, it looked like golden lava was flowing, giving off heat and a bit of a scary vibe.
His limp body suddenly went hard, and a crazy amount of power shot out from everywhere!
"Huh? What's going on?"
The purple-haired succubus was enjoying herself, with a lazy, happy smile.
She was suddenly shocked. She felt the "food" under her become... different!
The weak energy she was taking in, which was like a tiny stream, suddenly became a massive, burning, and unbelievably wild force! It wasn't gentle anymore.
It was like an ancient beast that just woke up, full of a terrifying power that was now smashing back into her body!
She looked down in a panic, and her eyes met a pair of eyes burning with gold flames!
The dazed and scared look was gone. Now, it was just the look of a hunter messing with his food!
"You..."
The succubus barely got the word out before Alex's lips curled into a cold, messed-up grin.
"Dragonification!"
His voice was low and powerful.
CRUNCH! TEAR!
With a sickening crack of bones and a flash of gold light, the succubus's flat stomach was pushed out!
It was like she was a month pregnant. She whimpered, her cute face went bright red, her eyes rolled back, and her head was thrown back.
Power Level — 18! (Dragonified part)
"Did you... have fun just now?"
Alex's voice was gentle and deep, but it sent a freezing chill through the succubus.
She screamed, trying to jump off him, but Alex's strong arms moved faster than she could think, grabbing her tiny waist so she couldn't get away!
"Wait! Wait!" Drool ran from the succubus's mouth, her eyes all messed up.
"No waiting."
"Now... it's my turn!"
Alex squeezed his arms and pushed up hard!
"NO—!" The purple-haired succubus felt a huge, scary amount of life force—way more than she could handle—rushing back into her.
For the first time, her beautiful face twisted into a look of total horror!
The power was not just huge, it was also holy and wild, shooting into her body.
It didn't just fill her up; it kept going, getting more and more intense, like it was going to make her explode!
"I... I was wrong! No... please! I'm begging you!"
She tried to stop it, but she couldn't! The roles had flipped! The one who was eating was now the one being eaten!
Alex felt the endless power pouring out of him.
He watched the succubus's beautiful face change from happy to terrified, and a huge feeling of success and control washed over him!
This was his start to staying alive! A succubus? She's just the first step!
The succubus started to struggle less and less. With each push, her body got softer, and her sounds got quieter.
Finally, Alex finished with one big, final move. The succubus let out a soft cry, her eyes rolled back, and she passed out, going limp on the bed, her stomach puffed up.
Right after the purple-haired succubus passed out, a bunch of system alerts popped up in Alex's mind.

Alex looked at the panel in front of him and grinned. "That was fun, Miss Purple-Haired Succubus. I think I'll ever forget you."
He glanced down at the succubus beneath him. Violet was still out, her beautiful face flushed red.
Alex didn't waste a second. He got off the bed, put on his clothes, and made a quick move to get out before any other succubi found him.
The Succubus Whisper skill gave him a safety net. As long as he didn't attack them, they wouldn't want to kill him.
He looked at the unconscious Violet, then at the pile of dried-up bodies in the corner. He turned and took off toward the cave exit.
....
The round platform was still glowing, but the long line of men was gone. The air was sweet, but you could smell a tiny bit of blood.
The red-haired succubus boss, Octavia, was lazily telling some lower-level succubus servants to clean up.
The men, who were just alive a minute ago, were now shriveled-up husks. They were being dragged and piled up in a dark corner of the plaza.
Octavia frowned a little, holding a silk scarf over her nose.
The smell was like the end of a long work day, but she wasn't happy with today's "haul."
"Seriously... it gets worse every year," she complained quietly.
"What kind of trash is the Lansha Empire sending? They look big, but they're all for show, useless.
Their life force is like watered-down booze. Not even enough to get a taste, let alone..."
She kicked a super-skinny corpse. It rolled easily, making a dry sound like sticks.
"...let alone leave behind any decent 'seeds'," Octavia's eyes showed a bit of worry.
The succubus race grows by sucking in guys' life energy.
They can have kids on their own using that energy, but it's not a good long-term plan.
If they don't get strong new genes from outside, their race gets weaker. The kids will get less powerful, have less resistance, and even be less charming.
What's worse, the whole race could end up with the same weak spot. If their enemies found it, it would be the end of them.
For hundreds of years, the Lansha Empire has sent men as a gift to the succubi.
But these guys were always the rejects from the empire—no magical power, weak bodies, and from the bottom of society.
Octavia knew what the empire was doing. They were cleaning out their useless population and keeping the succubi happy at the same time.
Two birds, one stone. But for the succubi, these gifts were basically nothing. They got a lot of bodies but no real quality.
It had been a long time since a special new baby succubus was born. And all the other succubi were stuck at their current power level.
"This can't go on," Octavia mumbled to herself, a sharp look in her red eyes.
"It's time to go back to the Lansha capital and talk with those big shots.
If they want to keep this friendship, they need to get real.
Like... those knights and mages who've awakened their powers, or those geniuses they're hiding in the royal family?"
She was already planning how to use her charm to get the best deal for her race.
Maybe she'd have to make that king, who was crazy about succubi, talk to his people more.
Just then, a low-level succubus servant ran over, looking freaked out. "Lady Octavia! Um... Sister Violet, she..."
Octavia's thoughts were cut off. She gave a little glare. "What's the panic? What about Violet?
Didn't she pick a pretty nice-looking guy today? Is she still not done?" She remembered the dark-haired kid. He looked good, but seemed too weak to last.
"No... it's not that..." The servant breathed hard, pointing at the cave Violet went into.
"She's done... but... You should really go see... Sister Violet is in a weird state!"
"Weird?" Octavia raised an eyebrow, getting a little confused. After a meal, a succubus just looks healthier and more full of energy. What could be weird?
She walked towards the cave, swaying her hips. The closer she got, the more she felt something was off.
The air felt... hot? Not at all like the usual dead energy left behind.
She pulled back the curtain and froze.
Violet was lying limp on the bed, eyes rolled back, passed out.
Her face was beautiful but flushed, with some foam at the corner of her mouth and a weird mix of happy and confused on her face.
But that wasn't the craziest part.
What really shocked Octavia was that Violet's flat, sexy stomach was now clearly swollen! Faint, but super pure and hot, golden energy was slowly coming out of her skin.
And the human guy who should've been a corpse was gone.
"What... what is this?!" Octavia quickly went to check on Violet. Her energy was crazy full, almost too much, but it wasn't the kind she usually ate.
It was a new, strong, and lively power that was forced into her. She couldn't handle it, so she passed out to protect herself.
This was not what it looked like to be drained. It was like... she was filled up in reverse?!
Octavia's heart skipped a beat. A crazy idea came to her, and it made her blood feel warm. That man... did he...?
She spun around, looking at the cave exit. Her eyes were a mix of shock, anger, and a little bit of... excitement.
"Go find him now!" Octavia's voice was strong. "Find that human who ran away! And bring him back alive!"
She had a feeling things were about to get interesting. It seemed a real problem had snuck into the Lansha Empire's "gift" this time.
Meanwhile, Alex was using his new power to find his way through the dark, winding cave tunnels.
His Dragonification had worn off, and he felt weak, but the power deep inside him was still there, keeping him going.
His heart was pounding like a drum, from escaping death and from the insane feeling of fighting back.
"Gotta get out..." He gritted his teeth, feeling his way around.
"That red-haired one looked like trouble... even if I'm pretty tough, I can't handle the whole succubus race! Who knows what they gona do to me?"
"Yes, they are damn pretty and hot, but I don't wana die there."
