The Succubus Becomes a God in a Western Fantasy World Using Immortal Arts

[On hiatus for now. This is a story that passed review, but my writing and ideas aren't strong enough to support its framework. I'll hone my skills and come back to restart it.]

Bian Yan, the top swordsman of the Wu Wei Sect, still hasn't found his own bonded sword.

But during a sword trial, he accidentally transmigrates to another world.

The moment he sees the sword set with a ruby, he knows he's found his bonded sword.

But why is there an elaborately patterned little heart with wings on his belly?

After learning what it means,

Bian Yan falls silent: Why did he turn into a succubus?!

*

A succubus has appeared in the latest combat tournament, and everyone in the city is betting on how many days he'll last before dying in the arena.

First match

Faced with an opponent of peerless swordsmanship, Bian Yan draws his sword.

Everyone says he's crazy. Why would a succubus mess around with a sword instead of using his dream-control arts?

Then they watch Bian Yan's flame-wreathed blade forge his opponent's sword into a worthless lump of iron.

Everyone falls silent: Is this the fire magic I know?

Bian Yan: It's a cultivation art from my sect. Ever heard of the True Samadhi Fire?

Second match

Faced with an opponent skilled in water magic, Bian Yan still draws his sword.

Everyone thinks this arrogant succubus is finally going to get what's coming to him.

But then...

He traces a few indecipherable symbols in the air, and thunder suddenly rumbles across the clear sky.

Several bolts of lightning strike. His opponent is blasted black from head to toe and collapses, unable to move.

Everyone: Are those hideous, squiggly characters a magic circle?

Bian Yan: I'm a swordsman and a talisman practitioner. Sorry about that.

The... who-knows-how-many-th match

Watching Bian Yan's bizarre array of spells, everyone finally understands.

This is... the mysterious power of the East!

Durendal is a legendary holy sword.

But after a century of slumber, he is forced into a pact with a weak succubus.

He thinks this is just a brief interlude in his life, and sees the weak succubus as nothing more than a substitute for his master.

Yet this lowly substitute...

becomes more and more captivating to him.

Is it because he is growing more like his master, or has Durendal's heart already begun to waver?

After once again finding himself wanting to lock the other man away,

he realizes he already knows the answer.
