I was a master thief in retirement, my expertise was stealing from both single and married Mamonos. Now you might ask yourself how a weak human men could possible steal from beings that can smell a men from a mile away and thats where a certain family heirloom comes in.

Well it was more of a curse than an heirloom, to be more precise it was the curse of the goddess of love eros which prevents a man from ever finding love, but a man struck by it has a certain effect on Mamono in partcular. They don't ever fucking notice you and i don't mean that they cant see me or some shit like that, but they will automatically ignore your presents since you are not seen as a potential husband even if you are as chaste as a monk from the day you are born. Its like the curse covers all your traces so that no Mamono could ever see you as a man or detect your presence with smell of some other mana detection method.

Now that you know what this curse gave me you should know what it took from me and thats basically any form of relationship with woman whatsoever. After 20 years of being a thief and 30 years of bitter loneliness i was fed up with it but i cant get rid of this god damn curse. You see it wasn't me who pissed of the goddess of love, but my bastard of a father who of all things he could do had to pinch a eros followers wife by using some kind of potion and well eros wasn't really pleased by that.

Now this story is way more complicated than that, but to make it short the curse got passed on to me and i have no idea how to revoke it. Praying to eros didn't help, praying to the chef god didn't help and talking to the grave of my father sure as hell didn't help at all so i kind of learend to live with it, but now i had the golden opportunity of my life.

''"We want you to steal a certain red amulet from within the demon lords castle" said a stern looking solder standing in my doorway. ''

"If you can accomplish this task, we from the chef gods holy order will clear your name of all your crimes and on top of that you will be purged of the curse that the goddess eros has put on your family. What do you say thief?"

I was speechless no matter how long i searched i found no cure to this damn curse, but now there is my chance to get rid of it?

"How do know that you speak the truth sir soldier?"

"By my honor as a proud beliver of her holyness the chef god and by the crest of the order this is neither a lie nor a trap if you can manage to bring us that red amulet you will be purged by the chef god herself so i was told."

"Well then i have no other choice but to accept your offer."

"That is good to hear. Here in this document is all you need to know from the item you have to get, to its location. In order to prepare yourself we will give you three days from now on then one of our mages will teleport you as close as he can to your destination. You will also receive a teleportation scroll that will transport you back us. Did you understand all of this?"

"Clear as day."

And so i had three days to prepare the probably most diffficult heist of the century. My target was clear the red amuled inside the Demon lords castle. According to the order the amulet itself was located inside the treasure vault of royal makei, there was also a drawing of the item in question so that i could recognise it without fail.

After my three days of prep time were over i was escorted by the soldiers to the teleportation circle that had been prepared. I could see that many if not most of the Paladins and Mages present weren't really fond of the idea to sent a random thief to such an important mission and i could even hear a few of them make bets if i would make it or not. But i myself have already decided to go through with it as it is my only choice to get that damn curse of me and life a normal life.

A short conversation with the commander in charge later informed me of the simple fact that i was on my own on the other side and that my return without the amulet would cost me my head. After that inspiring small talk it was finally time to work my magic and do what i was best at, stealing some valuable shit from someone who could crush me with a single thought.

As i was standing in the teleportation circle i prepared myself for all kinds of circumstances. I was told that they couldn't get me inside the castle directly, but atleast somewhere inside the castle garden near to the entrance, from there on out i would be by myself. And sure enough after a little bit of bright light i was standing in a large area full of strange plants and trees, the sky was dark with a purple tinge and before me was a massive castle made out of solid rock.

No person left or right which was a good start, now i had to infiltrade the palace and make my way to the treasury without being seen by anyone, but that was easier said than done as that castle was truly gigantic. First i made my way inside the giant structure and tried to locate my position, with my 20 years of experience i knew that most castles would have their treasurys up in the higher levels so i had to find some sort of stairway. Then i have to find the most guarded floor, get to the treasury and steal the damn amulet.

After some time i had found what i was looking for the treasury, even if i had to sneak past some Lizardman guards and Kikimora maids i finally got here without giving away my presence. Surprisingly to me there weren't even half as must guard as i anticipated so either the demon lord has no idea how to properly guard a castle or she never expected someone to actually do something like this.

But now that i have come this far i can't just stop so i made my way into the treasure room and i have to say i was really easy to get through that door, maybe a little bit to easy. Just as i had realized my mistake it was already to late and so the door to the treasury closed itself locking me inside in the process. I started to panick until i suddenly heard a voice echo through my head.

"Oh my just who is that little mr.thief who though he could get into the castle so easily without being detected by me?" announced a bewitching voice.

"Who are you? Show yourself?" i howled at the empty treasure chamber.

"No no no i ask the questions here mr.thief. So how did you get inside my mothers castle without being detected by our guards and is it that you are after?" asked the voice of what i now assume is a Lilim one of the demon lord daughters.

"Well if you want any kind of information out of me than you will have to show yourself before" i commented

"Very well if you answer me after i show myself to you then prepare yourself" 

And the suddenly a sphere of darkness appeared before me and out of that sphere a woman emerged. She was at least 5 feet 7 tall, with long pure white hair, wings and a long spaded tail, she was clad in a tight-fitting black dress which really complemented her crimson eyes as well as other more feminie parts of her body.

While i was busy admiring her perfecly shaped body she spoke up again.

"Now that i am here answer my questions or else i will have to enforce the consquenses of your action right here and there" she said more playful than threatening.

Now i have done it, my plan the orders plan was a failure there was no way i could get to the amulet now that i have been cornered by a Lilim herself and even if i use the teleportation scoll now i will only end up beheaded. There is only one choice of action i can take and that is to do as she tells me to and hope i can come up with something.

"You are right i will answer your questions, but only under one condition." i replied

''"And that condition would be?" she asked confused.''

"I get to leave the castle without being harmed"

"Fine but you have to answer all my questions truthfully"

"Ok you got yourself a deal. I got inside the castle via a teleportation spell made by some order mages who want me to steal a red amulet from your mother, but don't ask me why they want that damn thing so baldly because i have no idea. To the matter that none of your guards of could detect me thats because of the curse of eros my bastard of a father passed on to me."

''"Well that explains a lot this is not the first time the order teleports someone here, but most of them get detected right away by either our guard or some other mamono." ''

"But how is it that you could locate me?"

"Silly little thief we Lilim are way too powerful to not be able to sense a man just because some curse was placed upon you in fact i know how you could get rid of it, but i will only tell you that if you promise me something" she gushed.

"I will do anything if it means that i can get rid of this darn curse so tell me what do i have to do"

"Its easy enough handsome boy atone for your fathers sins by spreading love"

"Spreading love? What do you mean?" i asked her confused.

"Your father got that curse by destroying the love of a couple so you have to do the opposite in order please Erosso that she removes the curse" she explained.

"And were should i exacly start? its not like thats an easy task"

"You could always start with yourself"

As she said those word she started to undress right in front of me and before i could say anything else i got jumped by the most beautiful woman who not only helped me remove the curse of eros but also gave me a new and wonderful life.
