Chapter 14
I had just completed my first achievement: The Beginning. It had required me to create a bond with my first slave. That wasn't too hard, but only because I had woken up in a cave with a sex demon who didn't have a problem becoming one. That couldn't have been an accident. Gemma must have put me in there on purpose.
Had she known I would get this class? Had she wanted me to enslave Zoe from the beginning? I had mixed feelings about that. Zoe and I made our choices, but I felt Gemma had pushed us toward them. However, there wasn't anything I could do about it except be more careful around Gemma.
For completing the achievement, I gained one point in Luck. I checked my status to make sure, and indeed, I had four points now. It didn't seem like the most useful stat, but the permanent boost to the stat hinted that the rewards from this system might be really good. An increase to my Strength or Arcane Power could be really useful.
However, to gain those rewards, I needed to complete achievements. I had three new ones with counters. The Demon's Collector sounded like the equivalent of The Collector. The value was already at one, which made sense since I had slept with one demon. The value needed to complete it was smaller than The Collector, which seemed reasonable if demons were rarer, but from what Zoe had said, I shouldn't have a problem finding them.
Demon's Series seemed equivalent to the normal Series achievement. It showed I had done something once, but I still didn't have any idea what it was.
Rainbow. One out of ten. Again, I had made progress without knowing what exactly I had done. The rainbow made me think of colors, but I wasn't sure of what. Skin? Hair? Eyes? Could it be something else? Perhaps I would need to wait for the description, or until I completed it by accident.
As for Fetch the Bone and Black and White, no ideas came to mind. For Fuck Bad Luck, perhaps I needed to have sex with someone who had one point in Luck--or zero, if that was possible. But that didn't really seem fitting for a Demon Master class, so I wasn't convinced by that idea.
Double-Teaming wasn't hard to guess, but I wasn't going to share Zoe with anyone. I wasn't going to share any of my women with anyone.
Those were all the achievements I had at the moment. I should have paid more attention to them, but every time, something more important happened and distracted me from checking their progress. I should try to remember to check them after the next time I have sex.
I focused on my new skill and read its description.
[Demon's Status (Level 1) - This skill allows the Master to check the status of his demons.]
That was pretty obvious, but I wanted to check it for any possible additional effects. I focused on Zoe's status.

I didn't even reach her skills before questions arose. She hadn't mentioned she had two races. Her biting when she got excited made a lot more sense now. Closing the status, I focused on Zoe, but before I could ask her about it, I noticed she sat with her face in her hands, sobbing quietly.
Did she already regret becoming my slave? Or did she hate the tattoo look so much? With her mood swings, it was hard to predict what the problem was.
Shifting closer I sat down next to her. "Zoe?"
"It's amazing," she said, sitting on my lap--her body really light, and hot as she pressed herself closely against me.
"Thank you," she whispered. Her long tail coiled around my hips. Tears still streamed down her face, falling on me. Even they felt hot against my skin.
"Is everything okay?" I asked, stroking her thigh and back.
Zoe nodded, staring into my eyes. "For the first time in my life... someone actually wants me. Someone doesn't look at me with disgust or fear. And I don't feel hungry. For the first time in a very long time, I feel... happy."
"I don't know how anyone could see such a hot and gorgeous demoness and look at you with anything other than lust and desire."
Zoe smiled, rubbing her cheek against my skin. When she calmed down a little, I decided to talk about her status.
"Zoe?" I started.
"Hmm?" she murmured.
"I checked your status."
