The choice is obvious! You are a Demon Lord, after all, so a Warlock Specialization is a pretty much a no-brainer! Spells of massive destruction, various demons at your command, what's not to like? Not to mention your probably-sister so kindly asked you to summon minions, so why make a bad first impression? And perhaps asking her name and getting to know her would help a lot in that regard.
Figuring that basic common courtesy would be to at least ask for her name, you do just that. “Before that, could you at least tell me your name?”
“A-ah, yes of course, how rude of me!” The girl gets flustered. “My name is Ariadne!”
With basic courtesy out of the way, you return to your Status bar to choose your second Specialization. Obviously it’s going to be Sexomancer because you’re a pervert and there’s a good chance that you have plans to lewd it with your own summonings and/or underlings. Perhaps even have them lewd each other? Why stop there? What's the point of conquering the world if you can't conquer it sexually? After all, taking over the world is a lot of work, so you have to find the right motivation to bother with it in the first place!
You take a quick look at your warlock spells. The list is not as impressive as you perhaps hoped.
[Shadow Bolt - lvl 1
Deals magic damage to a single target.]
[Summon Imps - lvl 1
Summons 3 Imps under your direct command.]
[Drain Life – lvl 1
Deals magic damage to a single target, healing you for the same amount.]
Then again you are only starting out. Sure, "three imps" does not sound a lot, but you have enough mana to use the skill quite a few times, so if anything it will actually help you level the skill faster. However, you will need to establish a baseline for how strong your spells and minions are. And the sooner the better.
Taking a gander at the Sexomancer spells you see the following:
[Dick enlargement - lvl 1
Increases the dick of a single target. Target has to have a dick.]
[Aphrodisiac mist - lvl 1
Unleashes an aphrodisiac mist in a small area, causing all who breathe in the mist to become aroused.]
[Submission - lvl 1
Attacks the mind of a single target, making it more willing to follow your commands.]
“My Lord? Is everything alright?” Ariadne tilts her head slightly.
Might as well try out one of the spells and see how it goes.

why am i not surprise with the current outcome of the pole ?
yeah, right now the poll looks like there are two communities fighting—those that want vanilla Demon Lord Slice of Life Romance Harem, and those that want a Hardcore Slave Management Simulator
@YuujiEveryleaf well, i'm not against the first one, imo it's just too early and it would be generic as hell. We saw that so many time already : the MC got a submission spell and he uses it right away. cliche
@Vhail i think that also depends in how he use it, i mean he can test it out on her and check the limits of the spell, and test her loyalty and other things, later maybe later have fun with it but he can also use it to help him in the brotel so he can start his path as a lord in the shadows, i mean you cant slay a demon lord if there is no knowlege of there been one
@YuujiEveryleaf I just would prefer to use Submission on an enemy and not the own underlings
@Tycos true. Nobody is forcing you to use it on your allies
@YuujiEveryleaf those can mix successfully. Just got to keep ourselves close to the center of the moral compass
@Tycos @vic20 same, I would more likely test the spells on enemies since you have the risk of it escaping your control. At least in this case, you won't lose some prcious help for the future.
@Vhail all depends in how good is his moral compas, i mean that with the spell he can get a better understanding of his new servant way of thinking, he dont need to rush in the fun part just yet, after all he have just been summon and his trust in his new servant cant be much at the moment, not to mention that there may be things that she dont want for him to know just yet or is afreid, depending on how he use it it can be a good way to win her over and not to force her.
this can be an example and is not what the author may be thinking at the moment but maybe the spell is like hipnosis and after he deactivate it the other party cant remember what happened to him/her, and he use the knowlege he obtain from her to win her heart?
@vic20 what i fear is that he might brainwash her. maybe i'm just overcautious and nothing much will happen
@YuujiEveryleaf i think that something in the middle of the 2 comunity would be nice, maybe a bit of both
@vic20 yeah test the spell to confirm her answers when we ask question while not using it too much.
@vic20 I am totally for Hardcore Slave Management Simulator. But slavery is for the enemy, not for your own people.
@Tycos seems like we have reached an agreement , so let there be both, some love and some hardcore slave
@Vhail all is in the hands of the great and only author to choose the path in the dark so there can be ligth (it is an irony because he is a demon)
@YuujiEveryleaf There was another choose your own adventure where the MC has s*x magic and turns the first girl into a mindless s*x robot basically (because wouldn't everyone vote to use s*x magic in that situation?). Choosing that option really doesn't feel safe after that.
@Zones i think that is too OP to be a lvl 1 skill and maybe you are a little paranoid after reading that novel?
@vic20 very possible I'm looking for traps in all the options.
@YuujiEveryleaf I wanted a hardcore economics/kingdom building with game of thrones level of treachery. Looks like I am not having
@lewdreader eventually it will *have* to go in that direction simply because the MC cannot do everything on his own. though it is also in the reader's hands. I can only nudge it so much.
@YuujiEveryleaf i got with the latter
but vanilla is fine
