VR: Ascended Assassin

After saying her piece, Lilith made a slurping sound and observed Venn with her gorgeous looking eyes.

Watching his dazed expression, she was absolutely certain that he wouldn't be able to refuse her tempting offer.

And she was absolutely right. The next moment, Venn spoke with a blank face.

"I want you."

Hearing Venn's reply, Lilith laughed.

However, much to her surprise, before she could celebrate her victory over Granhiert, Venn's next sentence completely shattered her perception that she had of him.

"But I want Granhiert too. So… do you do threesome?"

"Why are you glaring at me so scarily for? You did say any desire." Venn acted as innocent as he could as he quoted her words.

"You!" Lilith wanted to cough up blood badly.

She had never seen such a despicable person before. Biting her lips, she restrained herself from killing Venn on the spot. If it wasn't for the guild rule that members are forbidden to fight against one another and that Venn was Granhiert's disciple, she would have squashed him like a fly.

Meanwhile, while the succubus was staring at him with eyes filled with hatred, Venn sighed a breath of relief.

He figured it was for the best to deal with the succubus NPC in front of him by making her give up on him rather than outright rejecting her or accepting her deal.

Of course, there was a chance that she might kill him on the spot given his answer. However, based on his prior experiences, he knew that his answer would probably anger her greatly but not sufficient to warrant him to be killed when he was officially a guild member now.

On the other hand, if he was to reject her advances harshly, it would be like painting a big target on his back in the guild which was something Venn would like to avoid at all costs.

Whereas if he was to accept the deal, the succubus may find out that he is a fraud one day.

Thus, it would be wise if the current situation could remain status quo for him.

Operating under Granhiert would give him a perfect excuse in the Blood Serpents since Granhiert was not particularly too keen on her duty as a guild member, and it meant that he could be her supposedly mouthpiece. He wasn't willing to give this up for some pleasure. Especially with an NPC with an ulterior motive.

Furthermore, throughout the nine years playing Heaven Descent, he had never once heard about any NPC having a relationship with any players.

Those that attempted to try to form a relationship with NPCs were either mercilessly killed by the NPCs themselves or arrested by the guards for public nuisance, let alone having sex with an NPC like what Lilith had suggested doing.

There was even a case of a player patiently giving flowers and wooing a village girl day after day in the game for nine entire years, and the last that Venn heard was that the story ended in tragedy with the village girl ended up marrying another NPC in the game while the player never log back into the game anymore.

Thus, Venn was highly puzzled the reason why Lilith would respond in such a strange way.

There was another fact about Lilith that made Venn frowned heavily. And that was her race as a succubus.

Throughout the entire nine years of playing Heaven Descent, he had never seen or heard about the existence of a succubus be it from rumours, forums or in-game books.

The existence of a succubus was even rarer than the dragon as although the dragons were believed to be extinct, there were still traces of their previous existence in quest lines, items, or the books.

Staring at the succubus in front of him, Venn couldn't contain his excitement.

All these mysteries and secrets meant that it would to lead to more and more quests for him.

Furthermore, there are a lot more other members in the guild as well. If each one of them has a epic quest or two for him to explore, he would strike it rich with the rare items and money that could be obtained from them!

"I have to uncover her secrets at all costs!" Venn mentally noted to himself.

Unbeknownst to him, his intense and fiery gaze was affecting Lilith in ways he could never have imagined.

Due to Lilith's unique constitution as a young succubus, her body was getting hot under Venn's fervent gaze.

She could feel the intense desire coming from Venn's eyes.

"This guy… he lusts after me so badly. I can feel that he wants to eat me up and swallow me whole."

Lilith silently thought to herself. However, she had completely misunderstood Venn's intentions.

After a brief moment of awkwardness of staring at each other, Venn finally broke the ice and proceeded to ask Lilith about information regarding the trial and the guild. He had asked her in a sincere way that Lilith just shook her head and continued her briefing.

"Never mind. It's your loss anyway."

The succubus begrudge said in which Venn nodded his head and agreed wholeheartedly. Seeing his response, Lilith thankfully resumed the briefing again. Her anger had subsided a bit after Venn gave her some time to calm down.

"Back to the briefing. As a member of the Blood Serpents, there are only two rules. Number one, no infighting amongst members. Number two, accomplish the mission given at all costs, even if you lose your life while doing so." Lilith stated clearly with two of her fingers held up.

"What happens if I fail the mission?" Venn carefully asked.

"Then the rest of the members will hunt you down till the end of the world." Lilith answered coldly without an ounce of compassion in her voice.

"I see. So death to all traitors then." Venn commented. His words were mainly a reminder for himself. He shudders to find out what the guild would do to him if they find out that he was a fraud.
