Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Melty

The [Creatures] tab scrolled endlessly, becoming a blur of mundane icons and forgettable names. Kaiden swiped downward until the moment the interface changed.

The pale grey border framing the [Common Creatures] menu suddenly warped into a darker hue. The icons pulsed with deep crimson. Even through the interface, the presence of what lay below felt heavier.

[Abyssal Creatures]

The list reorganized itself with a single pulse. Gone were the direwolves and goblins. The new entries oozed pure menace.

The very first one stole Kaiden’s attention.

[Abyssal Salamawyrm]

Base Level Range: 1–99

Cost: 1 DMP (Lvl 1) → 500 DMP (Lvl 99)

Description: A lava-born predator that swims through molten rock as easily as water. Its body is scaled in volcanic minerals, with blood hotter than magma itself. Known for ambushing prey from beneath molten rivers, it devours both flesh and soul alike.

Kaiden’s grin spread ear to ear.

"Oh, jackpot already. Or maybe the system showed me exactly what I was searching for?"

Indeed, Kaiden didn’t believe that a mere magma river was enough to stop all invaders. He knew that some humans were much scarier than monsters. Furthermore, he was not just dealing with strong awakened, but also great awakened crafters. Maybe one of them could create magma-resistant suits in preparation to invade his land.

He would not permit himself to ruin everything by hubris stemming from underestimating humanity.

Kaiden tapped the entry, and the interface expanded into a detailed display.

Unlike the common creatures, this one allowed manual adjustment. A vertical slider appeared beside the creature’s stats, allowing him to increase its level at will. With every notch upward, the DMP cost rose, and the Salamawyrm’s outline grew more imposing.

Level 1 – harmless little lizard.

Level 50 – already terrifying.

Level 99 – a living catastrophe.

Kaiden paused with the slider at the maximum. The cost - 500 DMP - flashed a warning red.

He smirked. "You should be worth it."

He confirmed the summons.

The dungeon floor trembled.

With a heavy, wet sound, something big dropped from the air. A creature made of molten scale and obsidian muscle slammed onto the abyssal rock with a hiss, steam erupting as its blazing body met the cold stone. It was serpentine, about the length of a bus but far slimmer, streamlined for movement inside the narrow magma rivers. Rows of glowing teeth filled its maw, and its eyes burned like twin cores of magma.

Kaiden could only imagine what someone might feel when they face this creature here.

Then, the monster... Lost some of its majesty.

The slime-coated slope gave way beneath its weight, and the Salamawyrm let out an offended screech as it slid helplessly downward, flailing its molten claws for traction.

Kaiden blinked, then nearly broke into laughter. "Oh... sorry!"

The beast hit the magma with a thunderous splash. For a moment, Kaiden thought he’d lost it to the depths. Then, a glowing silhouette emerged. Kaiden nearly gasped when he realized that even when the creature was less than an inch from the surface, he could not see its form. It was camouflaged far too efficiently inside the magma.

The Salamawyrm glared up at him.

Even through the haze and the heat shimmer, Kaiden could feel the judgment in its stare. He tilted his head.

"... You look like Aria when I pull out."

The creature hissed, making molten bubbles pop around it.

"You’re a female, aren’t you? That disapproving gaze of yours is universal, I can recognize it from a mile away."

Kaiden raised his hand slowly and extended it.

His palm hovered, bridging the space until it touched the creature’s snout.

The Salamawyrm froze. The fiery glow beneath its scales dimmed for a second, then pulsed rhythmically, like a heartbeat.

And then, impossibly, the great beast began to wiggle.
