Epilogue 1: Bianca's Mom
Seven thousand years ago, the succubus Cynthia Lilith lost her master to her own daughter. Ever since, she had hidden away in the mountains, neither drinking a sip of water nor eating a bite of food, lying like a corpse staring at the sky. Her hair had grown brittle, her cheeks hollowed like a mummy's, but all she could think of was her irreplaceable master.
"Master... I'm sorry. I raised our daughter wrong... I couldn't even protect you... I'm a failure as a succubus."
"Are you really that vulgar Bianca's birth mother?"
"......?"
The land, saturated with the succubus's grudge, was so steeped in yin energy that not even grass could grow. The locals avoided it entirely. For Cynthia, this was the first visitor in ages.
"A succubus should suck men's essence dry like a mosquito, yet here you are, starving yourself to death?"
"In a world without my master, I have no will to live... But who are you?"
"Oh my. Living in this otherworld and not knowing Demon King Ishtar? You really are Bianca's mom—dumb as a rock."
"Demon King Ishtar..."
Even Cynthia, who had cut ties with the world, knew that infamous name.
"Did you... kill Bianca?"
"And if I did, would you curse me?"
"That girl... that girl is mine to kill! That ungrateful wretch. That demon. I should have smothered her at birth when her nose was still clogged!"
"...That's what she says. What now, Bianca?"
Ishtar stepped aside, revealing Bianca who had been hiding behind her. Having lost her magic power, Bianca was much smaller than before, head bowed in shame, unable to look up.
"Bian...ca! Bianca! You bitch! What are you doing here?!"
"...H-hi, Mom."
"Bring back my master! Master! Master!!!"
Cynthia wailed at the enemy who had ruined her life. Bianca fidgeted with her hem, mumbling, while Ishtar plugged her ears with an indifferent expression. Another person's suffering meant nothing to the Demon King.
"Shut up, Cynthia. I brought your daughter here because she had something to say, so zip it."
"You shut up! What do you know! You can't understand the pain of losing a true master!"
"Yeah, yeah. My master isn't some trash like that, so he won't die—I can't relate. And I can't fathom the shamelessness of failing to protect him yet still clinging to life. Bianca... quit sniveling and say what you came to say. Or can I kill this noisemaker?"
"N-no! Don't kill Mom. Master Hoyoung will get mad at you."
"Hmph."
The power gap between them had widened considerably, but invoking Kim Hoyoung's name was enough to make even Ishtar back down.
Bianca stepped forward and met her mother's eyes—eyes filled with mortal enmity. Of course. Bianca had killed Cynthia's master. Back then, she couldn't understand why her mom served a mere human as master. But now she did. She knew her mother's heart.
"I'll kill you, Bianca! I'll kill you!"
"...I'm sorry, Mom."
"Kill... what?"
Bianca dropped to her knees.
"The story you told me before... about the Succubus's Curse. I get it now. The succubus progenitor who loved a hero cursed her descendants. When we love a human, our limiter breaks. We lose all control... I have someone I love now, so I understand your feelings, Mom."
"Now you pull that ancient crap? It won't bring my master back! You killed him!"
"I heard how you've been living. If you don't absorb men's essence soon... you'll starve to death."
"That's what I want. So I can finally go to my master."
"You're the only family I have left, Mom. I don't want to lose you. So let me introduce you to our master."
"What? Who the hell are you trying to piss off? What makes you think I'd meet your master?!"
"He's the only one who can make you forget your lost master. He's truly special."
"Every succubus thinks their master is special. You idiot... After 7,000 years, that's all you have to say? If you're sorry, kill yourself in front of me, you moron!"
The hatred wouldn't fade easily. If Kim Hoyoung died, Bianca would react the same way—she understood her mother's pain all too well.
"Ugh, this is fucking annoying. I don't know the details, but you just dissed Master Hoyoung, right? You wanna get fucked up, bitch?"
"W-wait, Ishtar! Mom doesn't even know who Hoyoung is!"
"What? You taking the side of his enemy? Wanna die too?"
"Master Hoyoung permitted bringing Mom! He said he'd meet her!"
"Tch... If not for Hoyoung, I'd rip you cheap succubus mother-daughter pair limb from limb and feed you to hellhounds."
"...Those hellhounds were my old pet, you know?"
"Shut up. Get out of here now. I can't stand the sight of you."
Snap.
Ishtar snapped her fingers, and the mother-daughter duo vanished. They had been teleported to Kim Hoyoung's house.
"Ahh~ Master Hoyoung is too kind for his own good. I could've killed that ex-Demon King Bianca eight times over and sent her to the afterlife... but he finds her lost mom and even tries to heal her trauma. Isn't he too much of an angel? I'm going crazy over our master. So kind. So cool... ♡ I wanna marry him... ♡ But no. I'm just a lowly slave—I can't dream of something so presumptuous..."
Suddenly, she imagined herself in a wedding dress, arm-in-arm with Kim Hoyoung.
"I love him so muuuuch♡ I love Master Hoyoung!! I wanna work my bones to dust for him. And when I get home, I'll do all the housework. He can just relax at home—thank you! Ah! What arrogant delusions. As punishment, I'll capture 1,000 beautiful virgins and train them as his cum-dump slaves. Just in case there's a day I can present them to him. Mmm."
And so, the virgins in the area were suddenly kidnapped to the Demon King's castle for rigorous slave training.
The next day, a glamorous beauty who turned men's heads appeared in the bustling central market. With a vibrant face, she drew eyes as she shopped for delicious ingredients.
"Who the hell is that woman?"
"Never seen her before—a total babe."
"Wait... those horns on her head?"
"Demonkin?"
"Bat wings and a heart-shaped tail tip... Succubus."
"Succubi around here?"
"Yeah, at the mountain base..."
"Oh, Cynthia? But she's a walking corpse, right?"
"The one who stopped eating after losing her master ages ago?"
Rumors spread faster than light in a market. Everyone buzzed about the obvious succubus strolling through. Word reached a man who knew Cynthia—he'd heard her story as a kid, pitied her, and tried helping a few times. Of course, he'd failed. Her despair was too deep for anyone to save.
With a sliver of hope, he sought the rumored beauty.
"Um... who are you?"
"Whoa! Long time no see!"
"Pardon?"
"We met on the mountain, remember? It's me, Cynthia. Cynthia Lilith."
"...C-Cynthia? No way... But your face is so radiant—what happened? You okay now?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Cynthia casually asked while filling her basket with meat.
"Well... not sure if I should say this, but has the grief from losing your master eased?"
"Master?"
She pondered briefly, then burst into laughter.
"Oh~ that foot soldier? Forgot him ages ago, haha!"
"Ages ago? Weren't you still mourning yesterday?"
"Pfft~ don't be so petty! Don't dwell on the past! Live in the now!"
Cynthia slapped his back heartily.
"What happened, Cynthia? You're a whole different person."
"Mmm~ I met an amazing person yesterday."
Suddenly, the man noticed her face radiating female allure—dangerously erotic, making him hard. A true succubus.
"He fucked my brains out and gave me some mental re-education. Now I'm recharged and ready to live. Because Master Hoyoung told me to. Reconciled with my daughter too... ♡"
"D-daughter? The one who killed your master? You were raging about revenge!"
"Revenge? ♡ Bianca introduced me to Hoyoung—she's my benefactor."
"B-benefactor?"
After cursing her nightly for years?
"Yeah. Benefactor. We had a full 3P yesterday and made up completely. Ah... ♡ Last night was pure bliss. Aah... ♡ Wanna do it again. That mind-blowing sex... ♡"
"W-wait, Cynthia. Don't grope your tits out of nowhere. Everyone's staring."
"Master Hoyoung fondled them yesterday... ♡ Felt so good I came three times just from that♡ Mmm~ ♡ Master Hoyoung... ♡"
Cynthia started masturbating on the spot. Crowds gathered for the sexy glamazon's show.
"Demon King Ishtar says she's turning this otherworld into Master Hoyoung's theme park. I agree with her policy... ♡ Everything in this world is for Hoyoung... ♡"
"A-anyway, glad you're better, Cynthia! B-be happy!"
The man who'd once vowed to save her fled in terror, consoling himself that her happiness was enough, whatever the form.
But Cynthia couldn't recall his name.
"Whatever... doesn't matter. Men besides Hoyoung are just bugs anyway♡ I love you, Master Hoyoung... ♡ If 7,000 years of hardship led to you, I'm totally satisfied♡ Gotta thank Bianca for introducing such a great man... ♡ She's on Earth... I'm here in the otherworld... mother and daughter devoting our souls to Hoyoung♡"
The men in the market ejaculated on the spot. Cynthia absorbed their essence and returned to the palace-like mansion Ishtar had prepared. She regained her zest for life, lived happily, and stayed in touch with her daughter via smartphone with otherworld comms.
