Julian woke up to the feeling of biting cold.

His head was heavy, and his mouth tasted like stale mint and old blood. He tried to rub his eyes, but his hands would not move. He pulled harder. Nothing happened.

Julian blinked, his vision slowly coming into focus. He was sitting in a heavy, wooden chair. Thick, glowing blue ropes made of pure magical ice tied his wrists to the armrests and his ankles to the legs of the chair.

He looked around. He was no longer at the bottom of the toxic, dark Mia

    Julian woke up to the feeling of biting cold.His head was heavy, and his mouth tasted like stale mint and old blood. He tried to rub his eyes, but his hands would not move. He pulled harder. Nothing happened.Julian blinked, his vision slowly coming into focus. He was sitting in a heavy, wooden chair. Thick, glowing blue ropes made of pure magical ice tied his wrists to the armrests and his ankles to the legs of the chair.He looked around. He was no longer at the bottom of the toxic, dark Miasma Rift. He was inside a room that looked like a dungeon, but a dungeon built for royalty. The walls were made of smooth, grey stone, completely covered in a thin layer of sparkling frost. A beautiful chandelier hung from the ceiling, made entirely of glowing icicles that cast a soft, cold blue light over the room.There was a large silver mirror on one wall, a plush white rug on the floor, and a grand wooden desk in the corner. It was luxurious, but the heavy iron door and the freezing tempe

    Rachael’s eyes shot open. The dark madness was completely in control now. She looked at him with pure, untamed rage. "Get off me, you filthy animal!" she screamed, raising a hand to blast his head off.[3 seconds... 2 seconds...]"Shut up and let me save you!" Julian shouted.Before she could release her magic, Julian slammed his body down on top of hers. He grabbed her beautiful, pale face with both of his bloody, rough hands.And then, he smashed his lips directly against hers.[1 second...]Kiss initiated.[Miasma Shield deactivated.]For one terrifying second, Julian thought he had made a huge mistake. The moment the green shield vanished, the terrible, absolute-zero cold of her body hit him. It felt like jumping naked into a frozen lake. His blood felt like it was turning into slush. His heart stuttered in his chest.Rachael’s eyes went wide with pure shock. A filthy, bleeding Null was kissing her. She tried to push him away, her hands glowing with deadly ice magic. But then, the

    Rachael slowly sat up in the crater. Her white hair floated around her head as if blown by an invisible wind. Blood dripped from her nose, freezing before it even hit her chin. The black veins of the Mana-Rot had reached her neck now. She was dying fast, but her S-Rank power was still overwhelming. She pointed a single, shaking finger at Julian. "Die," she whispered.Above Julian’s head, the moisture in the toxic green fog began to freeze. In just three seconds, a massive, deadly spear of ice formed in the air. It was ten feet long, sharp enough to cut through a mountain, and pointed directly at Julian’s heart.[Warning!] the System flashed bright red in his eyes. [Miasma Shield failing. 30 seconds remaining.]Julian looked at the massive ice spear floating above him. He looked down at his trapped arms. He was totally stuck. If she dropped that spear, it would blow a hole straight through his chest. No amount of System healing would save him if his heart was completely destroyed."Sy

    The temperature dropped so fast it felt like a physical blow.Julian exhaled, and his breath instantly turned into a cloud of tiny, floating ice crystals. He shivered violently. Even through his torn black suit, the cold was biting into his skin like invisible needles.He stood at the edge of the crater. Down in the center, Rachael Blackwood—the Ice Queen—lay in the smashed dirt. The frost spreading from her body was freezing the toxic black mud solid.Julian took a step forward. His foot crunched loudly on the frozen ground.[Warning!] the System chimed urgently in his mind. [Target's passive Ice Aura is highly unstable. Entering the crater without protection will cause immediate freezing of the Host's blood. Time to death: 60 seconds.]"You want me to kiss her, but you're telling me I'll die if I get close?" Julian gritted his teeth, wrapping his arms around himself to save body heat. "Give me something! You said my Incubus blood is awake. Do I have a shield?"[Negative. The Host ha

    Julian stopped pacing. The robotic voice was right. He really did have nothing to lose. He had lost his girlfriend, his dignity, and his normal life. He was a walking dead man with a ticking clock in his chest.He looked down at his hands again. He was tired of being weak. He was tired of being the dirt that rich Mages stepped on. If this crazy System was telling him to kiss an S-Rank Witch to survive, then he was going to find a way to do it. He refused to die before seeing Darius Cage bleed."Fine," Julian muttered, clenching his fists. "Fine. But first, I have to get out of this Rift."He finally took a good look at his surroundings. The bottom of the Miasma Rift was a nightmare. The ground was covered in thick black mud that smelled like rotten meat. Giant, pale mushrooms grew out of the canyon walls, dripping a sticky yellow acid. The toxic green fog was so thick he could only see about thirty feet in any direction.The air was heavy and quiet. Too quiet. Suddenly, Julian heard

    The floating screen flashed red for a second, then went back to blue. New words appeared very quickly.[Scanning Host... Scanning complete.][Host Physiology: Severely damaged. Miasma radiation at 99%.][Error detected in Host Magical Pathways. Magic Veins are not empty. Magic Veins are blocked by ancient seal.][Breaking Seal...]Suddenly, Julian felt a massive surge of heat explode in his chest. It felt like someone had dropped a burning coal directly into his heart. He arched his back, screaming out loud, ignoring his broken ribs. The heat rushed through his veins, melting the green crystals on his skin in an instant.[Seal broken. Null status confirmed false.][Hidden Bloodline Discovered: The Ancient Incubus.][Host Soul matches System Requirements. Initiating bond.]"What... what are you talking about?" Julian asked in his mind. He realized he didn't need to speak out loud. He could hear the voice in his head, so maybe it could hear his thoughts. "Am I going mad?"[You are not g
