Chapter 5: First Step

    Ethan noticed that Alicia''s deep blue pupils had transformed into a predator-like yellow. Her canines extended enough to show from the corners of her lips. The golden yellow aura surrounding her gradually dissipated as her body descended back to the ground. The screen before Ethan displayed a message.


    [Demonic Conversion] process has completed successfully.


    Current status of the Converted target


    Name: Alicia Rosevelt


    Race: Lamina


    Class: Shapeshifter, Healer


    Age: 125 Years


    Level: 80


    “Holy shit! I think previously, her level was around twenty-five, similar to other adventurers in her party. This [Demonic Conversion] is really something special. She is so much stronger now.” Ethan could feel the pressure exerted by her mana.


    “M… master?” Alicia spoke her first words after being converted to a demon.


    “Yes. I am your master.” Ethan spoke confidently.


    “What happened to me? I…I feel different.” Alicia spoke.


    “You have fought against me and lost. Yet, I am merciful. Instead of death, I have granted you a new life and a new purpose: to serve me.” Ethan recognized how cheesy it sounded. However, he needed to establish a hierarchy of power. The spell’s description indicated that the converted target would be bound to the caster’s will. He worried that if his resolve weakened, she could unleash chaos. He was dealing with forces and beings he had no prior knowledge of. “I must be very cautious,” he thought.


    Alicia’s eyes widened. She immediately kneeled before Ethan, “Th…Thank you, master. Please forgive my insolence.”


    Ethan walked up to her, “Stand, Alicia. Let me observe you closely.”


    Alicia stood up. Ethan observed her closely. Her height had increased, and she was now nearly seven feet tall, still a bit short of Ethan’s new demonic body. If Ethan had been in his old human body, she would have towered over him. She was naked, her privates fully exposed, but she did not seem to mind at all. Ethan noticed her skin was covered with tiny scales, which shone even in the dim light. He touched Alicia’s hands; they were much more muscular than before, yet they felt soft. Even her feminine curves had become more prominent.


    Alicia’s naked body was starting to trigger Ethan’s lustful desires once again as he felt the tenderness of her hand. “Damn! She is even hotter in this new body!” Ethan shifted his gaze away from Alicia before his desires took control over his body like last time.


    “I have some questions for you, Alicia,” Ethan said. “Answer them truthfully. Remember, it''s an order.”


    “Sure, master. Please rest assured, I will always be truthful to you.” Alicia spoke.


    “Do you have memories of your past self?”


    “Yes, master. I remember the pitiful life I lived as an elf. I thank you with all my heart for giving me a chance to serve you, my master.”


    “That’s good. Things will become simple then.” Ethan thought. “And I assume you have shapeshifting skills as well?” He asked.


    Alicia glanced at Ethan quickly and immediately shifted her gaze towards the ground. “Yes, master. I can change my body to any shape or form of your liking…”


    “Alright. Then I want you to try something. Shift to your previous elven body.”


    “Sure, master.” Alicia nodded and closed her eyes. The scales over her body started to change their size, shape, and color. Within seconds, she was in her old elven body. Even her body’s height and width changed back to how it was. She opened her eyes, and her deep blue eyes returned as well.


    If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    “I am done, master.” She mentioned.


    “Good. You are indistinguishable from your previous self.” Ethan was genuinely amazed. This shapeshifting of her seems to be a pretty high-level skill. “Now, hold this in your hand.” He gave one of the teleportation crystals to Alicia.


    “Do you know what this is?” Ethan asked.


    “It’s my Teleportation Crystal, master. I bought two of them from an alchemist before entering the dungeon.”


    Ethan agreed. “Correct. I want you to use one of the crystals and try to teleport outside of this dungeon.”


    “Sure, master.” Alicia nodded.


    “If you are able to teleport outside, don’t make any unnecessary moves. Wait for my instruction. Do you understand?”


    “Yes, master.” Alicia grabbed the crystal and chanted, “[Teleport]”.


    In the next moment, she disappeared from Ethan’s sight. “Did it work?” his mind raced in anticipation. Ethan waited momentarily, then used [Mind Link] to talk to Alicia. “Where are you, Alicia?”


    He heard Alicia’s response in his ear, “I am now outside the dungeon master. I can see the dungeon gate in front of me.”


    “Yes! It worked. It freaking worked.” Ethan’s excitement surged. He was right. He believed that even if Alicia was covered now, the crystal would still work if she was the one who used it. Ethan’s choice to save her life was the right decision. It took him quite a while to calm himself down. “This [Mind Link] ability is pretty amazing, too. It’s similar to talking to someone on the phone,” Ethan thought as he settled his mind.


    “Now, let’s see how this one works.” Ethan thought as he chanted “[Observe]”.


    A screen appeared before him, resembling the system screen but lacking any information. Instead, it displayed Alicia''s surroundings, like a television screen. She was standing in a lush green forest beneath the azure blue sky. It was around noon, and the sun was shining brilliantly. He could see the leaves of the trees around her rustling in a gentle breeze. Ethan noticed a few unfamiliar birds and colorful butterflies fluttering around Alicia. It was a calm and soothing environment.


    “So beautiful! So this is the outside world. It looks similar to Earth," Ethan thought to himself. It had barely been a day since he had been transmigrated to this world in his new body. Even so, the clear blue sky and lush greenery made him homesick. “No matter what, I need to get out of here," he murmured with newfound determination.


    “Did you say anything, master?” Alicia’s voice rang in.


    “Umm… no… nothing. Tell me about how it feels out there. Do you see any adventurers? Any wild beasts?”


    “I feel nice and warm here. I don''t see any adventurers or wild beasts around, master. But I do sense some lesser beasts in some distance.”


    “Alright. The first part of my plan was a success. I am calling you back, Alicia.” Ethan spoke before chanting “[Summon]”.


    A circle of purple light, filled with intricate patterns, materialized on the ground before him. In the next moment, Alicia was standing at that exact same spot. “So this is how [Summon] works. I’m learning so much about my spells,” Ethan thought, and an involuntary grin spread across his face.


    “Sorry to push you around, Alicia. But now I need you to do something more for me.”


    Alicia’s eyes glew up in excitement. “I exist to serve you, master. Please order me.”


    “I want to leave this place. I don’t want to just stand here, doing nothing, while wave after wave of adventurers come attack attack me. I need your help to escape from here," Ethan said earnestly.


    “I will help you get out of here, master.” The excitement in Alicia’s voice was palpable. She was genuinely happy that her master’s plan includes her. In her excitement, she switched back to her original Lamian body.


    “I will tell you. But before that, please wear some clothes, Alicia.” Ethan diverted his gaze from her naked body. She has not worn anything since she was converted. Even her elf form was naked. And for some reason, she does not care about it. But every time Ethan sees her naked body, a primordial urge bubbles up inside him. He was struggling to keep his cool.


    “Master, do you not like my body?” Alicia pouted innocently. “Is there something wrong with me?”


    “What kind of question is that? And why is she making that face? She’s a demon for God’s sake!” Ethan wanted to cry out but somehow restrained himself. He cleared his throat, “Ahem... I really admire your body, Alicia. So much so that it distracts me. What I’m about to discuss is very important, so I don’t want to lose my focus.”


    Alicia’s face brightened when she heard this: “I understand, Master. Please give me a moment.” The adventurers had also brought backpacks to carry the looted mana crystals after defeating the bosses. The bags were stacked on one side of the room. Given the chaos that had erupted since the start of the fight, it was a miracle that they were mostly intact. Alicia rushed toward the bags and returned wearing a pair of pants and a top. Ethan saw that the clothes didn’t fit her well and clung tightly to her body. They did little to hide her curves, but at least she had something on now.


    Ethan let out a sigh and started explaining. “Now, listen very carefully. This is what you have to do!”
