I Don't Want to Be the Fourth Calamity [Western Fantasy]

Sasha woke up to find he had transmigrated into the vast fantasy game he'd played before bed.

And he wasn't the only one: lots of other people had transmigrated too.

Everyone else awakened all sorts of useful skills, but he awakened a Heroic Spirit System.

Just as he thought he was about to fight a monster in a Holy Grail War, the System told him something had gone wrong. Then, having already activated the Heroic Spirit System, he summoned an incubus named Ilich...

Ilich had almost no combat ability and could only briefly hold enemies back with his weak control powers. And because the System had a cooldown, Sasha wouldn't be able to activate it again for three years.

Sasha: Oh well, this little guy is pretty cute. I'll take him in.

Sasha spent three years scraping by in the game world, finally saving up enough to open a little shop of his own and make a home for himself and Ilich.

But Ilich kept growing more and more attractive, until he seemed to radiate charm every moment of the day. Sasha steeled himself and decided to find him a job.

But on the very first day of business, someone showed up to wreck his shop.

To everyone's surprise, Ilich suddenly unleashed tremendous power and blasted all the troublemakers out the door.

Afterward, Ilich looked at Sasha excitedly and asked, "I chased them out. Do I get a reward?"

Sasha explained that he'd spent all his money on the land and renovations, so there was nothing left to reward him with.

Ilich said proudly, "Then you can give yourself to me as a present."
