The Incubus System Chapter 842. You Will Only Bring Calamity…

After polishing off my meal, I eyed Jill, contemplating a little playtime, but then I hesitated. We’d be parting ways soon, and filling her little world with too many memories of me might just make it harder for her when we part. So, I shrugged off the idea and decided to shift gears. Instead of engaging with her directly, I opted to watch her interact with my pets. She had grown fond of them during her stay, and it was heartwarming to see her play and interact with my furry companions.

Jill's laughter filled the room as she frolicked with the pets, her genuine happiness radiating in the space. It was a sight that both warmed my heart and tugged at the strings of my emotions.

I opted to head upstairs instead. Elenna needed a stroll through the demon world. Maybe I could introduce her to Licheri. But as I made my way upstairs, my phone pinged with a notification, instantly drawing my attention away from my plans.

I made my way to the desk where my phone rested. The screen was locked, but there was a message notification on it. As I reached the desk, my fingers deftly danced across the screen, quickly unlocking the device. The display blinked to life, revealing a series of notifications. My attention honed in on one specific message. It was from Larry.

Larry's message flashed on my screen, his concern palpable even through the digital text.

Larry: Hey! How are you doing, buddy? Are you alright? I just saw a demon attack near your house on TV. I'm just checking you out. Reply to me as soon as possible.

It was evident that Larry's worry for my well-being stemmed from the recent demon attack near my residence. The proximity of the incident to my home must have raised concerns. I appreciated his thoughtfulness and decided to respond promptly.

Ethan: I'm fine. I'm not going anywhere today, so don't worry. How about you? Are you alright?

I recalled the injuries Larry had sustained during our previous encounter. Yuffy's healing abilities would have come in handy, but I couldn't risk drawing attention to our deal by magically mending his wounds. It was a delicate situation, especially after allowing him to take Nathan into custody.

Moments later, a reply from Larry lit up my screen once again.

Larry: Good to hear that! I'm okay too. I have some business near your house. Can we meet? This evening, maybe around 6:00 PM? For a coffee, perhaps?

Ethan: Sounds good. We can catch up on your day too.

Larry: Okay! See ya later.

After sending off my reply to Larry, I casually tossed my phone onto the bedside table and fumbled for the alarm, setting it for later. Without much contemplation, I flopped back onto the mattress and drew in a deep breath. The events of the day swirled through my mind like a whirlwind.

"I should take Elenna for a stroll through the demon world," I mumbled to myself. It was a plan I'd made earlier, yet all I yearned for now was a moment of solace and space to process the whirlwind of recent events.

The colossal eye, the mysterious border—these enigmas lingered in my thoughts, driving me to wonder what other mysteries lurked within the realms I thought I knew. The yearning for knowledge tugged at me, its persistence palpable as I reclined on the bed, closing my eyes in an attempt to find respite from the cacophony of my mind.

But peace proved elusive. My thoughts raced on, defying the silent retreat I sought. The chaos of the unknowns in the world clashed with the desire for a moment's tranquility.

Amidst this mental pandemonium, a strange sensation enveloped me. It felt like a descent into the abyss of darkness, as if I had been transported to an alternate dimension, an ethereal realm that I couldn't quite comprehend.

The obscurity surrounded me, a stark contrast to the reality I knew. It was as if I were adrift in a space far removed from the realms I was accustomed to. The experience left me unnerved, almost as if I had inadvertently stumbled into an entirely different plane of existence. The surreal experience felt disorienting, like wandering in a realm untouched by familiarity. In this inexplicable space, my thoughts whirled like a relentless vortex, leaving me unsettled and captivated by the unknown that had unexpectedly engulfed me.

'Calamity,' a voice echoed inside my head. The timbre resonated strangely familiar, akin to my own, yet the thought felt alien, not stemming from my own consciousness.

‘You will only bring calamity…’ the voice reverberated once more, a haunting whisper echoing within the chambers of my mind.

Perplexed, I mentally echoed, 'Huh?' Inquisitive and slightly thrown off, I attempted to grasp the meaning behind the enigmatic message. ‘What calamity?’ I pondered internally, the question lingering in my thoughts like an elusive whisper from the unknown. The uncanny voice, almost an apparition in my mind, painted an aura of foreboding. It left me grappling with questions, trying to decipher its cryptic meaning and source, creating a sense of disquiet that gnawed at my consciousness.

'Calamity! Big calamity! I don't know what! Don't ask me! Don't ask me!' the voice persisted, its urgency threading through my thoughts like an insistent echo.

Caught off guard by the persistent and cryptic interjections, I attempted to engage the mysterious voice within my mind. 'Who are you? Why are you talking using my voice? Also, how can you talk in my head? Is this some kind of telepathy?' I mentally probed, seeking answers and some semblance of understanding.

There was an unease in my tone, a mix of curiosity and a subtle touch of caution. I wanted to know the source of this uninvited intrusion into my thoughts, even if the situation seemed bizarre and inexplicable. Addressing the enigmatic presence directly, I hoped to establish some form of communication or at least grasp the nature of this unusual occurrence.
