Chapter 1. Emergence

"Get the Demon Lord to safety, she's all that matters."

"Where are the guards?"

"Dammit, damn it all. This wasn't supposed to happen. It wasn't supposed to be like this."

"Fall back, fall back!"

In the gloom of a sealed chamber glowing red eyes snap open. They dart about in momentary confusion before settling on just staring straight ahead. The eyes flash brighter for a moment, as a small burst of spiritual energy tears the surroundings apart. The eyes, belonging to a humanoid figure who sprawls upon his release from the coffin like container, take in the surroundings. All around there is nothing but decay and antiquity.

The figure rolls over to sit properly, and gathers its bearings. He remembers his name, Michael, what he is, an incubus, and what this area is, the lab that his mother and her group of witch allies had examined him in. With the basics covered Mike, as he recalled was his preferred name, took a look at himself. His hair was bone white and extended to mid back, he had almost bull-like horns extending from the backs of his temples, his plain black shirt was dust covered now, as were his pants. Looking back he spotted his tail, almost five feet long and ending in a somewhat sharp arrowhead point, and his wings folded up against the lower half of his back.

With all the important features covered Mike looked around the decaying lab. He quickly found the journals of the head researcher who had overseen the raising of him and his sister. Pulling the first one he started reading, quickly sensing the preserving enchantments on the paper.

The Demon Lord has asked me to craft a Succubus greater than any other to serve in her efforts to secure her throne against any usurpers. I have some ideas of where to begin, but it will take some time to come to proper fruition.

Mike chuckled at that, the Demon Lord of the time had sought a soldier to destroy any potential threats to her power. The next entry read as.

I have a plan for how to proceed in my endevour. I have, with my lord's blessing, acquired a powerful succubus, early in her pregnancy with twins. Twin births are guaranteed to bring about powerful demonic children. And if I start applying the enhancement spells this early in the pregnancy the magic will become a natural part of them.

Mike knew all of this. Enchanting a living being was much harder to do than an inanimate object. The being's innate energies would fight the enchantment, thus why such spells as those that enhanced strength were temporary. The next few entrees listed what enchantments had been used, again nothing Mike hadn't discovered himself.

They are born, but there is something very interesting about this. Rather than two succubi it was a succubus and a human boy. Everyone is utterly baffled by this, and though the mother does admit to having conceived the children with a human man the birth of a human male child is unprecedented.

But again, interesting but not important. The girl doesn't show any signs of enhancement yet, but maybe it will just take time for them to reveal themselves.

Mike could only sneer at the pages. The next journal was opened, and its first entry brought great amusement.

This is utterly bizarre! The girl, despite having the greatest of tutors that the Demon Lord could command, has shown none of the promise or enhancements that I put such work into during her months before birth. If anything, she is on par with a lesser succubus and a far cry from the promise child I have worked so hard to create. The boy is frequently harassed by her and the others of the court, I do feel some pity for him. He is a bright young boy, despite the distain and disinterest shown by his sibling and mother respectively.

Mike remembered this. His sister, the promised child, had been showered with affection, love, and privilege. His mother rarely paid him any mind and his sister, buying into the statements made by her peers, saw herself as superior to him. A few entries later and he found his personal favorite memory.

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. Today Michelle, again struggling to learn even rudimentary magic, found herself at the butt of Michael's laughter. I can't deny that I have grown fond of the boy, he is surprisingly well mannered. But when he laughed at his sister she retaliated by hurling a small fireball at him, I would have intervened but then something happened that I still can't believe, even as I write it. He casually deflected the projectile, a feat of ward magic that even experienced mages find difficult, turned to me, and said.

"I have something I've been wanting to show you for a while now."

Then, he dispelled a glamour he had on himself. Then I saw him, and I understood. His sister hadn't gotten the enchantments during their time within their mother's womb, he had. He had horns, almost luminescent white hair, bright red eyes, and a tail. All of the marks of a powerful succubus, in a true incubus.

Mike smiled, and skipped the next few journals. He remembered the years that followed. His mother attempted to appeal to him but he had become only apathetic to her, his sister had sought to undermine him in her jealousy but she was subpar in all areas of combat, the tutors descended upon him like vultures and he regarded them as such, the Demon Lord expressed interest in him but was content to watch from afar, and the ladies of the court expressed interest in him as well but he ignored them.

He still recalled when the Demon Lord began to losing ground against an up and coming succubus, she tried to get him to go out and fight. He was twenty by that point and had become fond of disregarding authority figures. He had been sealed up when the usurper had finally reached the main castle. The Demon Lord seemed intent on biding her time until she could take back the throne, but Mike could clearly see how well that seemed to work. If his Demon Lord was still alive, and that was a big if, then she either had given up or was incapable of finding him. Either way, good news for him. But now he had another problem, he was in a time that he knew nothing about, he had no guide or means of quickly learning of the situation in this time, no money and no home.

"Except…" Mike's thoughts began. "That's not necessarily true." The location he was in would not do as a domicile, but he remembered the woman who oversaw his sister's development, as insignificant as it was, had a small safe of valuables in her lab. Striding over to a bookcase Mike peered closely. The wood had been strong and well lacquered, the only reasons there was still a standing bookcase in the first place, but behind it Mike could clearly see a small alcove in the brick wall. A moment later found the bookcase hurled off to the side and the alcove in better, if still dim, light.

A normal human would have been incapable of seeing the box within, but Mike's enhancements had given him superb vision. The box was unlocked, its previous owner figuring that if you could move the bookcase then a locked lid wasn't going to give you much pause, and within was a small collection of gold coins and jewelry. It wasn't a fortune but it would suffice. The door to the lab was another issue, his appearance a third. Both could quickly be solved with a bit of magical power, but that might alert any magically sensitive beings to his location.

But then a small, yet amusing, thought came to him. His power carried a unique feel to it, he was an unprecedented being, and he knew that any being that used magic tended to have an innate curiosity. If he did use an explosion of power he would have every magic using being flocking towards this location. Facing towards the nearest wall with his prize tucked under his arm he focused his power in the tips of his horns. A purple spark danced between them for a moment before solidifying into a solid strand, and in the middle of this strand of energy formed a grape sized bead of power.

"Boom." Mike said, taking aim. From the bead erupted a blast of energy that ripped through the stone wall with ease, instantly creating an exit for him. "Headshot." He flicked his hand, casting a number of simultaneous cutting hexes to carve a message in another wall. His wings unfurled and he took off as fast as he could, staying low and in the trees until he was a safe distance. His wings folded up, he rolled in midair, and his glamour took form again. He was now indistinguishable from any normal human, even his power was under suppression to complete his disguise. He still ran though, no sense in being caught this early in the game. Especially when he hadn't even learned the new rules.

What Mike hadn't counted on was the number of being who had sensed his little display. Dozens of witch covens and their respective Baphomets turned towards the hidden lab, monsters both divine and fallen sensed the blast, demonic creatures jolted from whatever lewd daydreams they pursued, and every succubus from the most newly minted to the current Demon Lord started at the sensation of this new power.

Mari, a Lilith and tenth daughter to the Demon Lord, looked up from her book. Her familiar materialized and gave a knowing grin.

"I think things just got a lot more interesting." The cat familiar said.

"I do believe you're right." Mari said, closing her book and starting towards the source of the energy.

Post note

I have seen the Monster Girl Encyclopedia entries and am aware that an incubus by those definitions is merely a human corrupted by demonic energy. But this is my story, and in my story that concept still exists but this character is, as described in the chapter, an unprecedented being. He is a true male version of a Lilith, designed to combat the powers of the succubi race, to resist any and all forms of control, and value fighting and survival above all.
