The Incubus System

The Incubus System Chapter 616. If I Manage to Get You I Will Tie You Up!

As we waited for our food I decided to turn on my phone and check the messages. Unexpectedly, once my phone turned on, a series of never-ending phone notifications appeared on my screen. Either it was miscalled or messages. The ringtone even was enough to make the guests around us turn towards me.

In a panic, I quickly switched the phone to silent mode. Still, I was worried that the incoming notifications would break my phone. It was an old model and I hadn't bought a new one even after I had enough money for it.

"A lot of people surely worried about you," teased Celia once the phone stopped. She forgot she was one of them.

"Well, I only said goodbye to a few people, so some might be shocked by my disappearance," I said. I unlocked my phone screen and as I expected, it was lagging.

"Please don't break. Please don't break. Please don't break," I prayed without taking my eyes off my phone screen.

When it was successful, the screen showed how much the messages were.

'You have 307 messages, 345 missed calls, and 30 voice messages.'

I cringed. 'That many?'

Celia looked at my poor phone and shook her head from side to side.

"I would scream if I was your phone. It doesn't deserve this. It's torture," she said in regret.

"It's not my fault you know," I defended myself.

I moved my finger and started checking the messages one by one. Some from my college's group chat, my classmates, Tiffany, Mrs. Clea, and Larry. But most of them were Ruby's. She sent me more than 200 messages which were dominated by questions about my whereabouts and how she missed me. Some also contained a prayer. While some were her babbles, something like what girls sent their exes when they were drunk.

The miscalls mostly also came from her. But I was also aware of a few anonymous numbers. It was a rare thing. But I couldn't accuse it from the association. It could be from anyone. Like the police or the bank for example. Since I also left my phone number with them, in case they have information about my mom.

Due to curiosity Celia stood up from her seat and took a peek at my phone again.

"Celia, sit down," I demanded.

"Oh c'mon. Let me see it," she said with an annoying smile. Her hand snatched my phone. Then she started reading it with a different tone as if Ruby was the one who said that directly to me.

"I love you, Ethan. Where are you?" she said in a gentle voice.

"I miss you so much. I feel like I'm going crazy." This time her tone sounded like a beg.

"Oh God, please save and protect my beloved man wherever he is," she prayed.

"Ethan, if I manage to get you, I will tie you up and su---" She quickly pressed her lips and returned my phone awkwardly. "Okay, she is crazy," she admitted.

"I know." Yeah, Ruby texted that she'd tie me up and suck my cock if she got me.

Quickly, I deleted unimportant messages to reduce the lag and reply to some messages. I apologized since I didn't bring my phone and made them worry, also asking why they texted me. I replied to all, except Ruby. At the very least, I wanted to spend my first day in the human world in peace.

My fingers moved quickly to reply to the last message. It was from Larry. He invited me to play games at his house and asked me to text him immediately when I got back. He needed me to defeat the huge black dragon.

Me: Hey, man. I'm back. How about tomorrow afternoon? But my gaming skill sucks now. Are you okay with that?

Again, Celia peeked at my screen.

"Are you going to Larry's place tomorrow?"

"Yeah." After I pressed enter, I put down my phone on the table. " I promised to help him finish a game. And a promise is a promise," I said. It was a bit weird to imagine how a demon hunter and a demon lord played games together. But as long as the demon hunter association didn't know my real identity, it shouldn't be a big deal.

She chuckled. "That's typical of you."

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"You always remember your promise and try to keep it no matter how busy you are."

"It's a good thing right?"

She nodded.

"So--- I assume you also remember your promise before you left?"

"About our plan to Theme Park?" I confirmed. "Of course, I remember. Just tell me when. "

"How about this weekend?" She gave me an idea.

"Sounds good. Just make sure Ruby doesn't know it or I'll be stuck with her."

"Or she will catch you and tie you up in her basement," she tried to scare me with a joking tone.

Which we ended with a good laugh.

"Your food, sir." The waiter who put food on our table broke our laughter.

"Thank you," I said.

Our eyes immediately fixed on the food. The smell of the food made me hungry. Especially since this would be my first meal after I left the human world for months.

The plates of tasty-looking food soon filled our table. There were 6 plates of them containing 6 different fusion foods. Curry ravioli, rendang sushi, spaghetti chicken teriyaki, creamy mushroom noodle soup, and rice paper-wrapped steak. Two iced tea accompanied them.

"Enjoy your meal," said the waiter before he left.

"Those look delicious," Celia said in a low voice. Her excitement was evident in her tone. Her eyes stared at the entire food in front of her.

"Let's dig in," I said impatiently. Without waiting for her answer, I took my eating utensils and put my Curry ravioli into my mouth.

The flavorful curry taste mixed with the ravioli filled my mouth. It was so delicious. But more than all of that, it was the human world's food! A real one!

'It is so good' I was so moved to the point I almost shed tears.

Unfortunately, my happiness did not last long. I caught an unusual status above three people's heads. Their levels are above the average normal people and they were watching us from outside the cafe.
