Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Aister didn't know how to refuse, nodded his head, and agreed to Kael's request.

Having settled a matter that weighed on his mind, Kael felt significantly more relaxed. Finally, he stretched lazily, went to bed, covered himself with a small blanket, and drifted into dreams.

Of course, what Kael didn't know at this moment was that a new storm of messages was quietly unfolding on the forum.

...

At this time, on the gaming forum, a brief promotional video for the upcoming area "The Incomplete Sunrise," lasting only one minute and thirty seconds, was released.

This promotional video, generated by the AI AO capturing scenes from the first dungeon raid, was significantly shorter than previous ones, which even made some players wonder if their lack of spending had left the gaming company short on funds.

However, the moment the background music "aLIEz" started playing, the sharp-minded quickly sensed something was amiss.

The scent of battlefields... the smell of blood from corpses.

The rhythmically captivating intro didn't showcase any characters, only a motionless 360-degree rotating scenic shot.

Dark tones.

Desolate city.

Raindrops shattered into beautiful droplets by bullets fired.

Canned food dropped next to a puddle and the dead stillness in a young girl's eyes reflected in the water under the light.

Nothing was said yet a wave of overwhelming despair surged up.

At 20 seconds, the still scene suddenly came to life; bullets sped up and hit a goblin, showcasing a scene where Jonathan had commanded the goblin gunners to fire.

The young goblin gunner, tears mingling with obedience, shooting bullets at his own kind, instinctively sent a shiver down the spine of the viewer.

At 39 seconds, the scene shifted to a can of yellow peaches in the rain, with an adult-looking Kael standing in front of the little girl.

A series of silhouette dialogues flashed by rapidly.

If someone had paused it, they would have seen the conversations between Kael and the girl.

"The bus from the west coast didn't have dad in it."

"He might have gone to save the world. If you keep crying, he won't be able to protect everyone peacefully."

"He's dead!"

"...Yes, he's dead." Kael's eyes were cold in the silhouette. "Killed by 'the deities.' Remember this word, those are the monsters who brought doom and took away your father."

"Mon-sters?"

...A fast-forward through more silhouettes...

In the silhouettes, Kael's expression seemed much softer as he knelt down, gently lifted the girl's face, looking into her eyes overwhelmed by tears, and said softly:

"So do you understand now? This is what deities are, distorting reality with illusory happiness, robbing intellect, and creating living undead, all for the sake of consuming humans. Hate them, for because of them, your father will never return."

As Kael's voice, sounding as resounding as a bell, solemnly declared this in the video, those watching suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat:

"If you are a dazzling Holy Knight in the Holy Hall, who swore to the gods to protect the innocent and slay demons and devils."

"One day, on your journey to exorcize evil, you encounter Nobles trying to snatch a girl. In the struggle, her hat accidentally falls off, revealing the horns on her head, letting you know she is the demon you vowed to kill."

"But she is clean, bears no scent of blood, apparently hasn't harmed anyone. If she were human, you would save her without a second thought."

"But she is a demon, and her identity causes your hesitation. You don't know whether or not to save her."

"Yet, you swore before the gods to protect the weak, making a vow that you and demons can never coexist."

"Most demons commit evil deeds. Do you choose to turn a blind eye, or do you forsake your vow by shouting in the flames of hatred—

'God, please forgive me!'"

At that moment, it seemed as if the viewers saw flames reflected in Kael's eyes.

At 58 seconds, the chorus of the BGM sung by a female voice hit its dramatic high, sounding like the wail of a siren.

Amidst the flaming naval fleet, two chosen ones with stern faces flew high above, countless prayerful believers void of expression, ordinary soldiers with frenzied smiles using their blades to kill the last life on board.

Two seconds later, a massive flame burst skyward, consuming all life in its vicinity, the terrifying shockwave reaching the clouds, and a black cloud covered the sun, sending a shiver down the spine of the players the moment they saw it.

They stared blankly at the ever-expanding shockwave, almost instantly understanding what had happened.

What a magnificent yet beautiful sight!

Even after the nuclear detonation, when all things came to an end, the final cut of the clip didn't freeze on the devastated battlefield but on a beam of light leaking through the dark clouds, shining on the flowers after the rain.

The fierce yet tranquil, the explosive yet peaceful intertwining images seemed to even convey an artistic aesthetic.

But in the video's final second, a gust of wind blew, scattering the flowers.

...

As expected, upon its release, the promotional video for this region immediately attracted a huge number of players, even many who were performing tasks, abandoned their tasks just to watch the spectacle on the forum.
