SYSTEM NOTIFICATION:n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[You have learned the skill, Incubus Transformation Skill]
[You have learned the skill, Charm Manipulation Skill]
[You have learned the skill, Charm Plunder]
Draco, who saw this notification, was surprised. Yes, it was true. He facepalmed himself. During the time he acquired the vampire skills, he remembered gaining three similar abilities. He decided to check what was special about these three skills.
Skill Descriptions:
[Charm Manipulation]: Enables manipulation and control of charm for various purposes. Allows the user to plant a seed of control in living beings, placing them under the user's influence without their awareness. [Cost: 1 MP per second]
[Incubus Transformation]: Grants the ability to transform into a charm demon form. Charm increases by 50%; Stats increase by 2% (x20).
[Charm Plunder]: Grants the ability to steal attributes from anyone charmed by the user. Note: Attributes can only be plundered from living beings that are fully charmed.
Draco, after reading this, felt the skills were weaker compared to the vampire set. However, he noticed certain advantages. For example, he didn't have to rely on drinking blood to gain attributes.
He also realized these skills were more suited to him, as his charm level was too high. Now, he had a way to reduce it and potentially reveal his true face.
It had been hard for him to keep his face hidden—it felt like he was a criminal concealing his identity out of fear of being captured.

Draco also thought of checking the Weapon of Plunder, considering his strength had increased significantly.
He summoned the weapon and used his skill "Appraisal" to inspect it:
Weapon of Plunder (????): Able to absorb other weapons for use and gain their innate abilities. Currently limited by the host's strength; it can only plunder weapons ranked Diamond and below.
He was right—the weapon could now absorb Diamond-ranked items.
As Draco looked at the setting sun, he realized three days had passed since leaving the inn. Most of his anger had been vented, and now it was time to return.
At the "We Hate You Inn," Rose had been waiting for Draco. It had been three days, and he hadn't returned.
Did he run away? The thought crossed her mind. Maybe he had figured out that she had guessed his identity. If so, it meant her suspicions were correct.
Sharon came to call her friend, seeing the sun setting. They had all tried to persuade Rose that the man she was thinking about wasn't who she believed him to be.
But Rose was determined to uncover the truth. If it turned out he wasn't Draco, it wouldn't hurt her—she would just keep searching. She still believed Draco was alive somewhere.
As Sharon called her in, Rose was about to comply when—
"You guys haven't left?"
Rose froze, turning to see Draco standing there. His black mask, as always, never failed to amaze her.
"Yes, but we'll be leaving tomorrow for the academy," Rose blurted out.
Draco was surprised. "Where is your academy?" he asked curiously.
"At Calonia," Sharon replied, eyeing Draco warily.
Draco was taken aback. It seemed he had to follow them. Completing his first mission was a priority, and he felt incomplete without his memories.
He wanted to learn more about what he had experienced in Calonia. His childhood had been hellish, but meeting Bubble (Lyraea) had brought him some solace.
"Can I see your teacher?" Draco asked.
Sharon and Rose fell silent, then nodded. Together, they led him to a room. As they entered, Draco stayed outside, respecting the fact it was a ladies' room.
CLICK!
The door opened, and Sharon's head popped out. "You can come in," she said.
Draco was surprised but didn't dwell on it. He stepped inside.
Looking around, he saw Alya. Recognition dawned upon him—this was the Charm Demon Xylara had mentioned.
"This makes things easier," Draco thought.
Alya turned to Rose and Sharon. "Could you excuse us?" she asked.
Though confused by Alya's behavior, they complied and left the room.
As soon as they were gone, Alya knelt.
"Greetings, Master…"
