The Devil's Chess Piece

The butler thought that the Elaria family would disappear into the annals of history after the master's death, but he never expected that the young master, who had always been weak, would suddenly awaken. How could he not be happy?

After listening to the butler introduce his adoptive parents, Hyuga Gen felt his worldview change overnight.

Good grief, so I'm not a pure human anymore?

Then what am I, half succubus and half human?

Don't create a new account. I've only ever heard of female succubi. I've never even seen a male succubus in my past life, even though I watched anime!

Only now does Gen Hinata understand why he has become so incredibly attractive to women.

So it turns out that he didn't know how his succubus bloodline had awakened.

Why didn't Nanao Akane act as wildly as the girls at school just now? Could it be because she's already had close contact with them and has developed a resistance?

Moreover, his adoptive father was actually from the Elaria family, one of the 72 pure-blooded demon families in the Demon World from "High School DxD," although he had never heard of them.

However, it seems that I am not a pureblood. If I remember correctly, mixed-bloods are discriminated against by purebloods. The butler is probably wrong. I don't want to bear inexplicable pressure.

Thinking about this, Hyuga Gen reluctantly accepted his new identity and then hurriedly consulted the butler.

"Butler, is there any way I can tone down my charm? I don't want to be bothered by women every day."

The butler, with a smile, said from behind:

"Young Master, you only awakened suddenly, so your alluring magic leaks out from time to time. That's why those weak human women flock to you like moths to a flame after seeing your face."

"You just can't notice the leakage of magic power. I'll teach you a method to control magic power later. With a little practice, you'll be able to control the leakage of magic power."

Hearing that there was a solution, Hyuga Gen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young Master, I want to know why you suddenly awakened your bloodline. I tried every means I could think of before, but I couldn't help you awaken your demon bloodline."

Hinata Gen thought for a while. In the short three days after he awakened his memories, he hadn't done anything. It was very likely that his mental strength had suddenly surged after the awakening.

Or perhaps it was during that time with Akane Nanao that this body lost its virginity.

After thinking it over, Hyuga Gen only told the butler about his relationship with Nanao Akane, but didn't mention the sudden surge in his mental power.

The butler was dumbfounded. He had never heard of a hybrid demon born from the union of a human and a demon being able to awaken its bloodline through this method.

The butler's excitement gradually subsided upon thinking about the mixed-race nature of the creatures. He gave Hyuga Gen a complicated look, thinking to himself:

"Sigh, half-demon will face discrimination from other pure-blooded demons. I must help the young master improve his strength as soon as possible."

With that in mind, the butler began to teach Hyuga Genji how to control his magic, and at the same time ordered his demon servants to go to his residence to retrieve the Genji family's personal training manual for demon ninjas.

This time, I came directly from the conglomerate without going home to get it. Since the young master already knows about the demon, there's no need to hide the matter of the dimensional teleportation demon anymore.

Although awakening the demon bloodline will gradually allow them to learn the family's exclusive magic from their bloodline, other attack methods can also be learned from, making the Demon Ninja a high-end combat system.

Not to mention that most of the Alaria family's abilities are focused on charm, with very few skills actually used in combat.

Thinking of the two fairly capable human women in the living room, the butler remembered the devil chess piece that the master had left for the young master.

Unlike the Demon Ninja Training Manual, this set of demon chess pieces has always been kept inside the butler's body.

With a thought, the butler released 16 chess pieces of various shapes, each emitting a pink glow, from his body and floated in front of Hyuga Gen.

The piece representing the king lunged directly into Hyuga Gen's body, while the other 15 pieces remained in place.

Before he could dodge, Hyuga Gen watched helplessly as the king's chess piece flew into his body. Just as he was about to ask the butler what was going on, a flood of information appeared in his mind.

The information in my mind tells me that the Demon Piece is a reincarnation tool created by the Demon King Ajeka.

It is primarily used to transform creatures of other races (such as humans) into demon servants in order to solve the problem of the pure-blooded demon family having no successors.

The reincarnated servants will gain the abilities of the corresponding chess piece and become loyal subordinates of their original master.

The game's structure is inspired by Western chess and is divided into the following levels:

One King: Grants the holder a dramatic enhancement of abilities, but due to its extreme danger, it is usually not included in the game.

One Queen: Possesses the abilities of all pieces except the Pawn and the King, and is worth the same as nine Pawns.

Two chariots: High attack and defense, can use "castling", valued as much as 5 soldiers.

Two Knights: With their high-speed mobility, they excel at evasion and surprise attacks, and are worth the same as three Soldiers.

Two bishops: skilled in magic attacks and healing, their value is equivalent to three soldiers.

Eight soldiers: can be promoted to any piece other than the king, and can change form at will. They have the lowest value but the greatest potential.

When a summoned familiar is reborn, the actual number of pieces consumed is determined by the potential of the summoned creature. Just like Hyoudou Issei in the original work, who consumed 8 soldier pieces due to his excessive dragon power potential.

After receiving the information about the chess pieces, Hyuga Gen was overjoyed; he had actually obtained the devil chess pieces from High School DxD.

These chess pieces can resurrect people whose souls have not yet completely dissipated after they have just died, and reincarnate them as demons.

Moreover, it can enhance the strength of the reincarnated person. It seems I need to think about taking on subordinates. I wonder if Akiyama Rinko would be willing.

It's definitely impossible for Mingming; this guy is just a mercenary hired for money.

One's own familiar demons certainly cannot be male, and one must also carefully consider which characters to contract with. There are quite a few powerful female characters, but it is unknown whether they have been integrated into this world.

Thinking about it carefully, it's amazing that I obtained something so important so easily. It seems the butler really has no selfish motives at all.

Could the butler have also been bewitched by his adoptive father?

Thinking of this, Hyuga Gen shuddered and muttered to himself, "What a sin!"

He then absorbed the remaining demon pieces floating beside him into his body.

Seeing that Hyuga Gen understood how to use the chess pieces, the butler didn't intend to explain it again.

Just then, the butler's ears twitched, and he waved his hand to instantly dispel the soundproof barrier.

The next moment, a knock sounded on the door, and Nanao Akane's voice came from outside.

"Yuan-kun, are you done talking? Dinner can start now."

"They're here!"

After responding, Hyuga Gen invited the butler:

"Butler, don't rush back yet. Let's eat together. It's been a long time since we've had a meal together since I moved here."

The butler nodded and said with a smile:

"Yes, young master. I'll also try the human cooking skills that helped you awaken your bloodline."

"However, young master, you should be more careful in choosing a young mistress. That human has no special talents, and the children born from her union will certainly not be very good."

"You'd be better off choosing to marry a pure-blooded female demon, who is also one of the 72 pure-blooded demon families. That would be the most suitable for you."

Although Hyuga Gen didn't care about the qualifications of his children, whose whereabouts were still unknown, he didn't say anything to refute it.

Instead, he changed the subject:

"Would they even consider me, a mixed-race person?"

housekeeper:"..."
