In the past few years, you imagined your first encounter with a Fallen and all of them finished with one of the sides dying. There wasn't a common point, there wasn't an alliance or means to understand each other, you would kill or would be killed as it was just the way that the world worked, even when one side betrayed their faction that didn't make them friends with the other two sides.
They were unworthy of trust and you hated traitors, so you managed to get time to visit the fallen that called you his friend. For curiosity and for the sake of giving a warning to not use the name of your family for his benefit you visited.
That was what was supposed to happen.
You had to repeat to make the point clear, there were many ways that you imagined your meeting with Ren Amamiya, a half-fallen that declared himself to be your ally and friend, something that rarely was genuine in the world that you lived, the criminal one. Loyalty and Friendship between criminals, no… between fallen and devils was something that didn't just happen, and when the two sides finally made time to meet… There was bloodshed waiting to happen.
Until it wasn't, you don't know how it ended like this but there weren't swords, bullets, or spells flying around. You just had a small conversation and ended up enjoying yourself as all your ideas and plans were thrown away and instead interacted more with the fallen to discover his hidden hand.
(Is cute, that you can't admit that you want more friends) Your conscience was happy for some reason and you couldn't be annoyed at such cute girl happiness.
[Letters were genuine. Data that shouldn't be accessible to anyone and personal commentaries that show a close bond… can't be faked]
"And so Riggs the Twice Demonic Bard Warrior returned from Yomi tired, sweaty, and mentally fatigued to his convent of Mikos who upon his glorious return in spite of his failed conquest celebrated his return with a new recruit. Sadly, the poor Miko didn't manage to resist his immense manly charm as Riggs lost his shirts on the way back from Yomi. Admiring his pects, trips, and seeps, there wasn't a way back for her to resist the…" And so you narrated the adventures of your character since the 'last session played'.
In the end, you spend this morning playing DnD instead of doing a boss meeting and totally weren't exchanging stories in front of the police.
The sheer audacity of Ren, made you laugh so much internally. Hell, you didn't even know if Ren was his real name or if it was Akira with how easily the fallen changed them.
[Both are true.]
"This sounds stupid." Makoto the jr police woman deadpanned before checking the pages of the 'plot' that happened in the last sessions. "In the next three pages is purely seducing Mikos, and then returns to his manor to flirt with even more girls."
You believe that she is just pissy at being the QM and not being capable of doing crazy adventures without admitting that she is a super poppo.
Ren somehow had a member of the supernatural police of Japan in his base of operations and said the police girl missed completely that her three new friends weren't normal humans that have been committing crimes and were boasting in front of her.
"He is a bard, that is what they do." Ren, another player of your selected group responded. "A bard that became a gang leader to pay for all his future child support but a bard nonetheless."
"Ren, you aren't much better, all you do is steal everything and trick the authorities, your character Akira even has a charge of lolicon for flirting with that heiress." Makoto complained but still kept recording the previous 'gaming sessions'.
""Is what we do."" Ren and you said simultaneously with shit-eating grins.
The both of you were in a silent contest to make her beg for mercy and exchange places so she stops being the QM of the sheer bullshit that you two pull or Rage quit as both were good forms of messing with the police, but Makoto was made of tougher stuff so instead was just one-up each other.
All while playing a game of truths and lies as both were weaving plans and information in this game, cheating with trick dice and making so many tricks to mess with each other… your tricks being used against you and confirmed that you taught him.
"Amamiya-sama, I have finished painting Makoto-san's figurine." Yusuke the resident artist interrupted the game to replace Makoto as the new QM.
It really shows how interesting this morning was as the autist artist was a demigod of one of the top Gods of Japan.
Ren was a half-bastard and half-human, Yusuke was a demigod and you, a mafia boss, were playing with a police girl that planned to join this new generation of the Shinsengumi.
This wasn't how you believed and planned to use your morning but was truly a good meeting. Things have changed since your visit to Kur, the world that you see is so different and your soul becomes far easier to notice.
A flame and bond formed, it is possible to see it now. It was transparent and not all there as it wasn't only yours, not like your peerage but that didn't make the bond weaker.
You don't need someone in your peerage to be part of your Sky, it just needs a genuine bond. But you were greedier than that, you wanted to be only yours and so only your peerage shows in your Sky completely manifested.
All your executives, from Riser and to your eternal disgust Bova were there confirming that Zoidberg was still alive.
(You are very Tsun Tsun. Show some dere next time)It hurts and burns so much.
Ignoring your conscience, you looked at your other bonds of family, harem, and friends. Too many elements and connections, but not enough time to check all of them with the adequate amount of care to gauge details.
Just having Ren there means that was genuine.
Part of you thinks that this was Karma for all the crazy stuff that you put on others and keep doing 'This is friendship!' and now it was your turn at being on the other side of a charismatic bastard being too likable to dislike.
There weren't doubts that Ren was... a friend.
It wasn't possible for you to dislike him, the lesser blood of fallen aside there weren't things that you really had a problem with Ren, he has been someone that you would be glad to share a drink with.
(This is progress, accept what you can get. Is a lot for him) The fairy that was your conscience whispered to herself.
So ignoring her for the moment you accepted him as a member of your organization, you couldn't hate him for being born from a fallen. You should hate him for being a dick that is using your own tricks against you, then give him a place of power so you can make your organization get a good start-up in Japan.
…Maybe half fallen also needed a place to belong too.
A moment of epiphany that you ended up regretting immediately.
Fuck, you are going to end give them a chance and begin to treat them as people. You practically feel how so much of your very existence twists around in disgust, you were going so much against your zone of comfort by doing this but you know that otherwise, Ren's recruiting pool would end up reduced massively as equal treatment was the rule number 1 of Caelum Ardor.
In the end, Makoto had to retire because she had classes this afternoon and so it was you and Ren an hour later when Yusuke decided to do swordsman stuff by looking at the leaves fall in the wind for some sword cultivation bullshit that he saw in an anime.
It would be funny, but Ren told you that it works so you spare your brain a few headaches by not asking how and why it works for Yusuke.
"Are you going to tell me how you found out about me and why you consider me a friend?" You ended up asking so Ren took a sip of his tea and just smiled.
"Oh well, all began when I stopped a rape attempt in 2016." And Time and Dimensional travel were involved to make this bullshit even more complicated because why the fuck no?
And so began the tale of Ren, your intuition and experience caught any lie but the only ones formed were about the sexual exploits of the Phantom Thief, apparently, he managed to fuck his teacher and underground nurse instead of just his teacher in a maid outfit.
It was interesting knowing about the two different versions of his revenge, the bonds that he made and persons whose lives he touched, his adventures in the Metaverse until the assassination of the Demiurge a god created by the masses, and finally you Kane Gremory the last bond and devil in the shoulder.
Your opinion made itself clear.
"Fuck you Future!Kane! Fuck you too Nyarl!" You ended up shouting, at the four winds and that poor guy that was fixing the phone cords.
A fucking year wasted twice! How the hell would you endure that now? You had a child! Being conned to disappear for a year away from your famiglia isn't acceptable. What the sheer fuck Nyarl!? The two of you were friends, how could… wait, his concept of time is twisted, maybe Nyarl believed that it was a blink or so for the two of you.
You took a minute to just breathe and exhale to control your temper, a whole year in another realm… it was too much.
(That is right breathe and restrain your rage, no need to accidentally kill your new friend by accident.) Your conscience reminded you and you thanked her for it.
You decided to truly calm yourself and accept that you didn't know the difference of time, it could have been a week here while you were at 'work', Nyarl could have been your bridge too. You couldn't judge your other versions without knowing their whole story, something that you aren't likely to do.
"Still with that habit of taking responsibility for everything, well except for Nyarlathotep." Well, that confirms that Ren knows your black and tentacled friend.
"Nyarl knows to not fuck with me, a year is too long so if he fucked me over he deserves some of the blame." Your friends know that there are limits to messing with each other. "I am a father now, at that point there isn't doubt that I would have been."
And any version of you would have at that point put a child in Zest or Shelia at that point, maybe Jack as you couldn't be Kane without her at your side… You couldn't really imagine a live without Jack.
Maybe that was why that other version of you just taught Ren to be unfazed by consequences as he was a Sky that didn't possess his Clouds or changed by different bonds. Life changes, even yourself so it was impossible to know the reasons.
"Moping? I did too when I suddenly remembered everything." It was a lie; Ren was so angry that his patience ran thin. "It was a pity that I haven't found the rest of my friends."
Ah, you don't know what you would do if a day you were in a world where your greatest treasures and bonds disappeared. Alone in a world where nobody remembers you and everything that you had done was turned into nothing, what would you do?
"They still are my friends, the bonds that we share and everything that we lived together… It's what made me happy." Ren understood your expression and shared his thoughts. "Even through the worst of my Wrath, I always enjoyed myself the most when they were with me and so I just have to take back my future with them."
"It was rough for you." You chuckled, things like these wouldn't stop men like Ren and you. "Did you really have to go for your high school teacher when she worked as a maid?" You asked with a serious expression.
"That only made it better." Ren responded with a serious face.
You both looked at each other and then realized the act that was needed.
You gave a bro fist to the Nephilim, the bonds between cultured men are something that transcends beyond species. You may never like the fallen but… you liked being friends with Ren and helping him find his old bonds… and get with his harem.
(This is progress… This is progress… This is progress…) Your conscience keeps repeating the same words, truly Ereshkigal knows how to do a good job as you wanted to spoil her and…
You stopped yourself, it wasn't possible to seduce and marry a piece of your imagination no matter how much of a best girl she is, your attention was needed in another place and Kane jr must not take over your choices now.
"Welcome to Caellun Ardor, as one of my executives I will give you a mission." You gave your best smile as your head returned to its True Form.
The Phantom Thief didn't flinch as your maw opens and posture changed to make clear that this was an order as many of your eyes grew to take a measure.
"Find the Phantom Thieves, I need a good side-organization to check my group." His mission was to remake his group. "The MKK, did you say that it was a Japanese branch in your letter? Well, own those words and live as free as you want without being bound." You weren't going to make things easy for him.
Money? Resources? Anyone can get that easily but things like reputation, will to power through and the sheer balls to raise oneself and others for a better life and the lack of hesitation to do what one wants instead of comforting oneself takes a mindset forged by desire and ambition.
"When a God is being naughty is the job of the Demon Lord to punish it." Ren repeated the words of his former familiar and a grin grew in his face. "Remember those words, because…"
"You are going to reach the top." You completed his sentence and knew that he truly meant it.
This was a good day and in the future, you are going to share a drink with Ren on the same date. After all, it wasn't necessary to be a genius that Ren is going to become the enemy number 1 of the five racist clans of Japan and with your resources? Own the fucking balls of those assholes.
Things like these are always good to celebrate.
[Is amazing that you are shameless enough to throw stones while living in a glass house]
Normally you were forbidden from going outside of Underworld if it wasn't for a contract, but your restrictions were getting way looser as your birthday date was getting closer and the full freedom of visiting the human world was yours, so you were beginning to abuse all the trust given to you by timing your visits to maximize the time allowed.
From organizing a new base of operations, check that Ren's side of the Famiglia gets a good amount of resources like a home.
And pay someone to put three bags of fermented shit in the house of his shitty human parents per week… you had to admit that Ren has a lot of hatred towards the pair, to the point that he puts in his contract that they would be left untouched by the rest of the famiglia so he could make it personal whatever the former wildcard decides to do with the two.
So you were going to ask your new… bird friend(?), Talos, it was so damn strange to treat a fallen as persons with equal rights instead of targets for a lot of things, about his beef with his parents as your experience made familiar pride and love be some of the most satisfactory emotions that you could have as a son and more recently as a parent.
At least that was your plan but Ren reminded you of something important.
The art of making MILF and the charm of mature women that wear maid outfits, so the next few days you exchanged a lot of letters and messages through this phone thingy that Elttil copied from Gamindustri about this point in common that you shared with Ren, it was a manly bonding activity that sadly the only one that shared your taste was Sirzechs.
You didn't want to have a conversation about that because it would end with Sirzechs involving LA Grafia and that was annoying and it would ruin your mood of the very cultured conversation.
And your other friends also couldn't do as Howler and Ban sadly ended up traumatized by your grandma to enjoy this fetish as much as you did while Riser just would agree with everything that you said and take notes.
Ren gave constructive criticism about outfits and had lots of ideas for a good roleplay that you wanted to try with Sheila.
[Later.]
At the moment you are busy, resisting an arrest and avoiding getting into the prison for the charge of pedophilia. At least Shelia was having fun with Maria and her teasing smile means fun times later… Those smiles didn't help to lift the charges against you.
In retrospect, Disneyland was a bad place to have a date with your succubi lovers… your intelligence network failed to tell you that the head of security had the habit of taking kids to his personal place and was targeting your dates.
Or members of the church… but it was basically the same, they were the bodies of your lovers.
And so you played a game with Shelia to see who was better in social stuff by playing a game of can you put the devil in prison? If you win and you get top alongside anal this night but if you lose you get the bottom and get anal… to get ass, you had to put your ass in the line.
So basically what happens to a man in prison will happen to you if this bet ends at Shelia's favor, to make the best even higher Maria was going to record it.
…
You fucked up.
(Truly impressive that you are lasting so much) Your conscience reminded you of the genuine danger to your ass.
By hour, the fifth time that you almost lost was after the Love Tunnel, you almost collapsed in defeat there, Shelia gave you a blowjob that almost sucked your soul out. That probably was more literal than figurative and left some stains of white on her face and dress.
You countered by summoning a big vanilla-flavored ice cream cone and let it fall in your crouch.
"That was delicious Onii-chan~" Shelia whispered and Maria licked a few remains of her mother's meal'.
You thanked Talos that your inventory keeps the ice cream cold.
But wasn't the last or the toughest challenge of the day, no it was when Maria began to help her mother that you almost began to forget about the bet and focus on them… without your newly found conscience helping your ass would have experienced what was felt to be in Jacqueline's shoes in the night.
Your willpower was reaching your limits… then you cheated by burning your horny and drugging the head of the security by allowing the guards to 'confiscate' the snack that came out of the park, it cost you a cup of the Fourth Flavor but the result was a naked pedophile running around while his former subordinates were tricking to tackle him.
"That is cheating." Shelia pouted but you could feel her amusement, this was a game for her, and will win either way.
You kissed her, rough and passionately.
"Then it means that I am truly trying." You were cheeky and then kissed Maria too, dating succubus is an art.
A man must strike a balance between a physical and emotional form that is different from other relationships, they are unrestrained and very physically related. A night of passion is a nice dinner and so-so with dreams being their main focus.
Genuine sex means a little interest and that is barely first base.
Maria's father is a failure for his line and a shithead like most of the Old Satan faction, the idiot just had power in his side to not be drained dry. But the rest? He sure failed in recognizing the worth of a good lover and as an Asmodeus.
But what you did do to deserve the latest of her shenanigans?
"So I have to ask…" How do you explain your actual status? Without sounding like an idiot. "Why?" Just why…
(I don't have words for this) The fairy was truly sharing the same mind as you.
"As a strong and independent succubus, reserve the right of carrying my fuck toy." …So that is where Maria got her… whole self.
Lord Asmodeus the First must really be glad that at least someone knew how to raise an Asmodeus correctly.
"That is why are you holding my dick…?" You had hopes, that this wasn't going to haunt you for the rest of your life.
(What is wrong with this world?) You had the same question as your conscience but stopped caring to reign in the madness.
Sanity didn't help you survive.
"I stand with what I said." Replied the cheeky succubus…. Cheeky succubus MILF. "But if you prefer penis, cock, manhood, one-eyed serpent, or my preferred bitch breaker."
Its progress at least, at the very least, was… yeah you can't see a positive side here.
[Smile and look cute, sometimes is the only answer.]
"If you want we can talk about it at night." Shelia offered with a smirk as she was becoming handsy.
You looked at Maria for support.
"Mama always makes sure to keep them and with proper care so it can be used at any moment." And with that lesson of succubus nature, Maria nodded like it was just telling an uncultured man about common knowledge.
Well, nobody can blame you for stopping keeping you in your pants at the very clear invitation.
In comparison to endure.
How hard was stealing the costume of one of the characters and sharing it? Play around while connected and use a bounded field to keep the sounds hidden as you did all the acrobatics that the children wanted… and positions that Maria wanted to check the feasibility.
Or eat off your lover in a bathroom, in a semi-private manner, and use a few spells to not be interrupted as Shelia teaches how to talk dirty.
Or… at this point is easy to get the idea that you all planned to fuck on all the attractions and that will take a few more dates on completing but was a sacrifice of time, stamina, and lots of practice to make the perfect route to use every single part of Disneyland in a single visit.
If you didn't use your Intuition as a guide, and you aren't going to use it.
Sometimes it is better to try and fail an infinite amount of times to reach a goal, especially one as pleasurable as this one to keep a relationship as spicy as this one.
At the end of the day, you had to admit that all the fun and excitement alongside the other 'fun and 'excitement' of this day was letting you exhaust beyond every other session with Shelia, you weren't ready for an Oyakodon with succubi, and you refused to not make the best of the first time of your favorite Satan.
…Satan's descendant, you had to correct, Acchan and Sera-nee were hard to defeat for the title of best Satan.
Sirzechs doesn't count.
"Ohhh, what will be next?" Shelia asked you in the fortune wheel, the last attraction before returning Underworld.
"We could have an important conversation." And just like that, you summoned a tiny box with a ring.
"Kane… You're playing with fire, here. Be careful with what you say next~." Shelia warned you, but you knew that she got nervous for a second.
Maria was breathing heavily.
"Let me ask you two an important question." You were going to end as dried husk of a man after this and prepared for it.
"Oh? What's that, young master?" Go back to your rest Kane jr, just wait for 30 seconds more.
"Maria will you-?" You were interrupted when Maria snatched the ring of her ancestor and put it on her finger the second that the box opened.
You were going to try and use your flames to cheat the inherence rite but Maria was just wearing it without rejection or issues as she was accepted as the next Asmodeus immediately.
[To be fair, if she acts and keeps learning from Shelia there isn't doubt that she deserves to become the next lady of Lust]
What made her take it so fast? Her latent instincts in her blood? The power that emanates from it? The value of the gem?
"Yes!" Shouted Maria as she snatched the ring. "Mama I'm married!" Correction, Maria is being Maria.
You were going to say that it was 'Will you help me screw over the old Satan fuckboys?' but if this kills three doves with a single blast then you are proposing matrimony.
"You're such a tease!" Shelia… giggled, it was soft, it was calm… it was genuine happiness as it grew with intensity as a full blow laughter from how happy this simple act made her.
She never looked so beautiful and kissed him with a small thanks.
[She recognizes the ring.]
"It's her legacy, I never thought that I would see that thing again." And can read you as easy as you read her. "He never made it accept him." She still giggled a little at those words.
[She really hated that guy]
"Aaaaahh, it's a pity, an old maid like me isn't going to be a concubine of such a virile young man." Playing the same card? Shelia, you know what it just means war.
You already took your pants off.
"Go Mama!" And Maria already brought out her new Camera from Gaminsdustri.
You don't know how much memory that thing has but you are pretty sure that it is an entire album made.
Instead of talking, you just spend the rest of the ride reminding one of your succubi that she was yours, at this moment you weren't anywhere close to truly making it real but when there is will there is a way as you want to become capable of making her yours.
(Is this love or lust? Passion or love? Its difficult to see where it begins and ends) Why do they need to be separated?
Your response to your conscience was immediate, you didn't need to think when it was so obvious what you felt.
It was impossible to be a Greed without treasuring her completely and wanting her to see you in the same way as her heart, her soul and her smile was as important as her life. You wanted to be happy with you, you wanted her to smile at you, you wanted for her to value the precious memories made together… you were just too greedy to want anything less.
That is the way that you end up loving someone, once you decided it wasn't possible for you to retreat.
…
Nobody can prove that the one that broke the wheel was you, after all nobody could predict when it would give the perfect view of the park. Nobody could have planned for this with hours of anticipation, as it would need a horny criminal mastermind with too much money to get a few hours of hard fucking.
(…ARE YOU FOR REAL!)
…
…
…
Shelia (Gremory)
It was just a single time.
Maybe repeat on a special occasion or two but she wasn't looking for a long-term.
Now she can't believe those words, right now he was trying a bit too hard in pleasing her like his other lover, a little heartbreaker in making.
Ah, he was just a little treat that night as she usually didn't try anything with young ones like this one, especially virgins as she had enough of devils that didn't even know what to do and refused to learn how to please a woman and would die in less than a few minutes… five years, without single orgasm.
Not even orgies, but she survived and had to get used as Ultimate class was hard to find, after that hell with that Asmodeus her appetite was very dismissed, a difference from her younger years where she lived with the others in her... and keep her alive when all her fellows died by the same 'Lord of Lust' cruel plays.
At least she got pregnant, Maria was such a hungry girl that consumed so much of her power that she got mistaken as a corpse and thrown into the trash like all the used-up and broken toys.
Others weren't that lucky.
"You haven't lost your desire of yours." She whispered to him, their bodies joined together and bliss came with the power that she consumed from his release.
"Can you blame me? I am loving you." He was always a sweetie.
There were many different men that could promise such things, all for the sake of having another lay with her without care as their own lust guided them and she took it as an easy meal until passion just burned off and ended soon too drained that they could even breathe correctly after failing without satisfying her needs.
Kane just keeps going without performance issues, if anything the reason that she continues this nightly visit was that, not only because at making a woman feel loved he kept getting a 10 of 10 every time, which was an extra.
"To the hell with that cuck, I just want you." She almost had to roll her eyes at how he initiated the conversation.
She still gave a pleasing 'hmm', his possessive nature was one of his best traits.
"What would have happened if the situation was different?" She could help but ask, she didn't need details as he knew and understood.
"I would have Maria as one of my wives even if she wasn't powerful." He admitted a succubus can appreciate his fetishist pursuit. "Maybe not in my Peerage but she would mine, she makes me happy."
Next year they can try Oyakodon, he was greedy enough for go for mother and daughter then he should be prepared to be eaten by the two.
"You? There isn't a doubt that you ended up ruining me for maids, Shelia you have to take responsibility as I can't have another but you." That was probably the sweetest thing that he has said to her.
She laughed at the idea of him with a maid of the manor, like the common girl could handle this one.
But Kane was a liar, he adored silver, gray and white colors patterns and maids like his elder brother. It keeps confusing her that he hasn't attempted to lay with his in-law and doesn't feel a single drop of lust for her.
"Sure you do." It was also amusing his denial of his wants.
"I will convince you that I truly love you one of these days." He promised as he fell sleep, he really pushed himself too far today.
Silly devil.
She already knew that, so she snuggled close and kissed him.
…Coffee
[Coffee]
Black like the hair of Nezuko, hot like Pandora's favorite dress, and thick like Zest. The drink of the greatest, of the winners and hard workers that need to push for more in the night. It was the greatest reward that you could get after managing to protect your anal virginity from a succubus, but you knew that you couldn't be capable of this achievement for an entire year without the help of one of the greatest creations of humanity.
(You just take a single step of injecting it into your veins.) That… huh.
You looked at your arm and then at Elttil, inspiration came.
(…You are considering it.) The fairy/conscience was wide eyed.
Maybe if you use the true form of your head and bite deep enough you could free the veins, then with the use of a syringe enchanted with your skills in curses and reinforcement magic could make it possible to make the coffee enter into your bloodstream and with the use of Harmony the fusion with the caffeine and blood to awaken you.
But the consumption, could you truly imagine consuming coffee with the burning feeling in your throat and such a rich taste? Was it worth it to sacrifice the pleasant activity of drinking the greatest beverage known by the devilhood for efficiency?
…
Were you doing a sacrilege?
Not even the bag of ice in your loins froze you like this… you couldn't insult coffee, and so you took another sip of the black elixir. The energy filled back your mind after being drained dry of about two weeks of stamina. You will sleep again this day but until your work and paperwork is finished you won't close your eyes as the duty to your Famiglia was first.
(If one ignores everything else, your work ethic is admirable.) You could accept that your work wasn't the easiest but you love it and your Famiglia.
Three cups, three tons of refined coffee into just three cups, and potent enough to cause a stroke for anyone else as their hearts worked differently to yours. It cost you about a million of Lilims, but was worth it as you're the caffeine makes your body and Kane jr recover stamina.
Ah, right… Coffee could be a natural aphrodisiac.
You still need to work, sex comes later.
"Kane… are you busy?" Zest was at the door.
For the first time in your life, you didn't want… Who are you trying to trick? You are always prepared and ready to lewd Zest.
"You can enter!" You are always erected for her!
(...) Why are you looking at me like scum?
"Are you busy?" No, and you could throw the paperwork to Riser if you were.
"Never too busy for you." Or the children… you are so happy! Would it be a boy or girl? Will they take as their old man or the woman that you loved so much?
So many questions that you wanted to know the answer to but also had to wait without spoiling yourself.
You could wait! It was so close to the best day ever!
[Stop the idiot in love face, you will end like Sirzechs]
Right! Keep calm, don't get a boner, and make your sexy chocolate bunny wife happy.
[Go back beast, baby is conscious.]
Crap… no fun time for you, normally their own intuition triggers, and keep sleeping in some activities but otherwise this precocious kid basically took a lot of info about their surroundings, just like a sponge, and used senjutsu almost every single instant like you… better than kicking and using other powers of their inherence at least.
Or already figured out how to use them and warned against it? No! You must not ask questions, it would be better for parent-child interactions.
"What is needed?" You had an awkward smile as you saw her recently.
With Zest you had the trouble of being very turned on with every moment that you laid your eyes in her body, there was just something about her motherhood that excites you as the father of her baby, maybe the proof that you were really compatible or the tiny miracle that was impossible for other devils made you feel more possessive than usual.
[Is probably a fetish. MILF are a patrician fetish and making your own is even better]
Then again Clara's advice from her mom was. 'If you have made a lot of love while the baby is coming then the baby will end stronger.' And she was the expert with more devils made by a single woman in the purebloods.
"Are you feeling right?" Zest's worried question brought you back to the present.
Ah, right you ended up putting on a serious when you were having a 'Dad's moment' that is becoming more recent.
"About what?" You weren't sure if you missed something, was her diet? Something that you needed to ask Acchan about as the medical expert?
"The baby…" It was a soft and worried tone that made you curious.
You moved your head to a side, what is she talking about… Oh right!
"Call everyone!" You commanded at the Jack that was hidden in the closet. "We need the whole peerage for it, this is an important reunion." It was a private affair.
The rest of your harem can be godmothers.
Never once you had talked about your peerage about the baby! There was so much that you didn't remember when taking care of the pregnant wife's urges part like greater sex drive and weird foods like all those half zoidberg hybrids that you feed her.
That baby inherited your nature of Dragon Slayer and wanted a lot of them.
But you still managed to regain your wits, get the horny out and make a few points that needed to be called, Jack was also very efficient in bringing everyone to your office.
Everyone managed to come except Alwyn who was in the Familiar Forest. Jack was a good tracker and fast but finding a madwoman riding a horse that ignores the laws of physics in a big ass forest was difficult for your best piece.
But she managed to get Neptune… who was in her pajamas, sleep mask, and with a plushy of Tomato-man was… wait, where did she get Tomato-man?! You made sure of burning all of them inside the manor!
[Just keep the calm, panic later about]
You could feel the laugh of your conscience but still managed to keep your face straight as your inspiration Seto Kaiba, he wouldn't let this stop him of making amazing and stupid dragon jets.
"So the baby is coming soon and we have to discuss a lot of stuff… Any questions before we begin?" You managed to say it without asking about Tomato-man, good job Kane!
Pandora lifts her hand.
"Why was I taken here?" The blonde apparently wanted to look like the stereotype.
"Ignored, next!" You replied as everyone around just gave an eye roll.
Even Neptune knew that, and she is partially semi-sleeping from a gaming session as she needs to practice with the normal devil consoles before showing the stuff of Gamindustri… also collect memes, she was collecting a lot of memes to use wrong for the sake of irritating her viewers.
"Can I go to sleep?" Neptune's question was actually important.
"You agreed to be my Knight, you deal with my shenanigans." In fact, you weren't going to be a single father no matter how easy it was for you to take care of your children. "Take it as a chance as you may be next." Your attention was directed to Neptune.
Her breedable body was of age just like Alwyn, there shouldn't be problems.
It was after the first blood that humans were in the age of reproduction right?
(No! She is too young to be a mom!) Got it, use protection.
"…Nepu." And she passed out, you believed that your teasing would awaken her instead.
[High Attack and Low Defense, such is the disadvantage of a mixmaxer]
Huh, was she that weak to lewd? You just raised the possibility that she could carry a child without trouble, a difference from most of your peerage.
(…That child really didn't think about the consequences of her actions) Why does your conscience remind you of a disappointed Jew mom?
"Well, that happened." You would give a resume of the situation later. "Now it is our responsibility to decide what to do first."
"What… what we will be talking about?" Zest was nervous… Apparently, you were the only one that forgot about this in your excitement.
"The absolute most important and first priority." You knew that this day would come and made your choice since Grimmy was born. "Choosing a name, I am partially banned from this one as my opinion is quite clear" You really didn't need help in that aspect.
You wanted to name your child Primo or Fiamma, depending on the gender… you weren't the best with names but these were good ones.
[You named a boy 'first' and a girl as 'fire']
"Jack the Second." Jack being your best piece followed. "Mr. Thotslayer wants Lancelot if ends up being a boy."
That is a good name, Lancelot is an amazing Dragon Slayer.
"…!" Nezuko didn't have any ideas so she shouted 'Baby' and felt proud of herself.
Aka-chan was Aka… so 'Red' works? It was a neutral name. Unless they get her mother colors... nah, that was absurd.
"I don't have ideas!" Maria admitted with a smile.
"I thought that we were going to choose the Godparents." Miyu's opinion was neutral and Experiment 3, her guinea pig, brought a portfolio to your desk. "Onii-chan would be a good one, but it was rather irresponsible of you Kane." 'Leaving it to the last moment' was left unsaid with a pointed look.
You didn't have the capability of telling her that you already chose Riser as Godfather, he was your best friend and you always would trust him to do right to the famiglia and your family.
"I know, I know." You knew that but in your defense, you were so happy and excited that you didn't think about it. "We will choose the godparents after this, Zest any idea?" Godmother can be outside the peerage but the Godfather is already decided.
"…You wanted to find a name?" She asked softly, the smell of salt and moisture… crap! You did something wrong!
"Shit, you had a name already?" You panicked, the tradition can be ignored. "Is okay, don't cry, you can name them! I will not take that from you, we can have another later." You promised, hurting your Pawn wasn't something that you wanted to avoid.
But you made it worse!
[She isn't feeling sad, just surprised and happy.]
Why?
"…lee… her name will be Klee." She whispered, a rummy nose and tears were in her face as you hug her.
She is crying, you fucked up as her King. What did you do!?
(I… I think that is just normal) The fairy of conscience doesn't know think Kane! Think!
[Tough up, isn't your fault you have to try your best]
"…thanks for trusting me." You barely heard those words and your brain finally made the connections.
Did she think that you didn't think that it was your child?
Was it because you were using birth control?
…Did you look that stupid or gathered a gung ho reputation?
Is pretty obvious what happened as Sirzechs is a good example of what could happen in the bloodline when someone surpasses… shit.
"I kind of need a long time before the next one." You were lucky that the baby… that Klee was focused on her 'toy' instead of kicking or there would be "I don't think that I am enough to keep multiple up with Acchan and Sirzechs." Or want to deal with it alone.
Devils need to be ambitious, free to dream and have adventures, establishing limits was difficult for you as you wanted to be a father that… Satan, you would spoil them rotten and teach all your tricks.
(You are going to be the worst and best father possible) Your conscience warned you, and she was right there wasn't a balance between love and discipline in your mind.
That is why you have many great women around you, if you fall there isn't doubt that they will be there to catch you and help you to fix the mistake.
"Multiple Acchan?" Oh, yeah you almost forgot that Pandora was here. "What do you mean about that?"
"I am using curses to keep myself infertile as it would make my sperm not work but isn't perfect." That probably would cause side effects in your child, you smelled a few of them. "In fact, one of the uses is to guarantee conception when it breaks."
In about a few centuries for devils, but considering how much you have tried… a decade would be enough at worst with how much you have done it.
It was a curse based on accumulation instead of time and you had a succubus in bed, it was natural to happen that fast.
"The thing is that Flames don't care about what is possible or not." That explanation made Miyu figure everything out and gave an 'Ah' of an acknowledgment as she blushed and tried to hide her face in a book.
Maria on other hand feels like the revelation that internet had poor that the Internet had poor and erogames existed.
"You mean?" Maria asked an oddly serious expression in her.
"Yup." You just nodded.
It should have surprised you that Maria took a dildo out of one of the hidden spots in your desk, but it didn't.
Pandora looked at you like you were scum for having that in your desk., Miyu didn't care after she found you pounding Zest a few months ago in this same office and Jack put her hands on her backside with a wince as Jacqueline experiences were shared with the others.
[She can only blame herself for having such delicious fat ass]
Nezuko apparently was chill about it, she was more 'my pace' type of girl when sex and stuff were involved and wasn't really pressured to do anything as you do were married to her already.
"Zest, as a fellow sister wife and Pawn… no as the Lady Asmodeus I declare you an inspiration to all the devils of Lust." Maria gave a salute filled with all the honors and grace that the inheritor of one of the four Satans managed to gather.
And used the dildo like the Queen of England or was Britain? Meh, both speak French so it doesn't matter, as it didn't change the fact that your Succubus gave honors as Knighthood of Lust in such a ridiculous way.
To be fair to Maria, that Zest managed to get fertilized with the seed of a supposed sterile man is basically one of the greatest achievements ever made by a devil of Lust when one remembers that Devils are already infertile.
(This is my life now…) Your conscience was right; you need to accept that this was your life.
The passed-out Neptune also trembled but the rest of your peerage wasn't willing to go closer to the sleeping succubus.
"Back to the point, the other option was that I was overpowered." You have to admit that it was amazing, curses were something that made you proud. "The one in a million chance, where my curses were outclassed." And you were surpassed.
[They will be a monster in the future]
"And at this point I already confirmed that we will deal with the later." You seriously hoped that Klee is girl, there were idiots that made use of your name as jokes and that resulted in a few laughs but irritating a Super Devils is basically making a nuke explode.
"So… How do we keep a walking nuke from destroying the manor?"
You ended up turning your face to its True Form, the sheer danger of this situation needed it, and… nobody really reacted to your serious face after you abused its use to watch about five different magical girl shows alongside the two seasons of Yugioh to compare it to something scary.
Your eyes moved to Jack and saw Jacqueline waving her hand while the other Jacks looking at you with a bit of interest? Those are a lot of Jacks, it was hard to count when Jacqueline noticed you watching and was beginning to…
You returned your face to its normal form, a healthy blush on your face.
Jack was smug… a strip tease defeated you.
"Riri and Grimmy already cause a few things, what difference would cause another one?" Miyu didn't mention that one of those few 'things' involved the manor burning. "Millicas just eats and sleeps all day, it can't be that bad."
[Sweet summer child]
"The only example of a baby like that in the family register is Sirzechs." And you read it all to get blackmail and mutual destruction of reputation if Sirzechs teased you with baby photos.
And so you began to tell the dangers of having to deal with an existence that possesses absolute power and also zero understanding of their actions or control of their emotions, like destroying obstacles in his way like walls or servants.
And the possibility of vomiting Power of Destruction… you are lucky that mom was stronger than the average High Class but it also means that Jack, Nezuko, and you are going to be the main babysitters alongside Zest.
You think that Alwyn will die on the first day if she was alone.
Talking about Alwyn… her body just came out of the window and broke it in the process. Looking at the speed and angle, it seems that it came from the Familiar forest.
And her horse came seconds later crashing into Alwyn.
At least your Pawn was smart enough to have used Ascension to Rook and only got a few broken bones that she could heal by herself.
"Husband! Sister wives! I got a good sacrifice for the first heir! May Talos' bless them with health!" Alwyn with her sheer energy even injured brought out the head of a direwolf. "Did I miss something?" Alwyn asked like she wasn't bleeding on your carpet floor.
You appreciated the gesture, even if you doubt that Talos can bless others through dimensions away from his turf… You still had to clean your office and command your minions to replace the window, again.
Tia is getting the habit of throwing Alwyn to your office. Never change Alwyn, annoying Zoidbergs to use them as free taxis is truly an excellent plan to fast travel.
"Klee isn't an heir, after me comes Rias and then Millicas for the spot." It was a misconception that you needed to fix, being heir doesn't mean much without getting the throne. "I am officially heir and unless I do something stupid like become a figurehead like Sirzechs that spot is mine."
And it was the truth, Sirzechs could have become the pillar of Gremory but instead was used a bluff as Grayfia and your ancestor Zekram ruled the devils
"Until I become the head of the Pillar my line doesn't have chances to inherit the Pillar above my siblings and nephew, then comes Ravel as the Lady Gremory makes her line preferential when the time comes." In the end, the Godfather was left undecided as you spend the rest of the meeting explaining the situation of the house.
There were a fuck ton of reasons why the Corruptement was annoying, and you would prefer to use meritocracy if you had to choose your heir or that enjoys paperwork like you do… it was a weird trait of some greed devils.
[We just love to see our numbers go up.]
And that doesn't change that being 3/4 Pureblood isn't enough to be a viable successor unless you worked on that once you had gathered enough blackmail and political capital to make the requirements for Pillars more viable with the recent times.
[There are fewer issues than you would imagine]
You didn't pay attention to that info, positivism isn't going to give the best possible to your child to thrive in the aristocratic side of the Underworld.
Nepotism?
That is where your money goes!
And violence.
Always violence, power, and pure ruthlessness have always opened the doors in the Devil faction.
That is why you choose to visit Acchan again, he always was your most loyal and easiest to bribe friend when you knew what he needed, you sadly wasted a massive amount of money in Gamindustri by buying additional consoles as Neptune told you with the experience of a savvy consumer that the best ones… were worth shit.
Companies that are too far ahead of the 'specs' of the most popular game companies so they can't be played using them, and cost of manufacturing them would drive the companies to red… that techno blable let you confused but you trusted your second Knight.
Neptune knew the source of her addiction very well to not waste her money on useless hot shit.
So you will gift it to Acchan, he could just do a 'science science' mantra to turn your useless expenditure into something that devils can use alongside his personal Gamindustri's inventory to keep the things that he can put in his hammerspace safe.
That was the plan.
Now you are dining with your in-laws, with Maggie interrogating you about your labor prospects like future plans of expansion, the youngest son of Acchan using your body as a way of transport and jumping like a monkey from Shirou to Acchan to his mom, and Shirou being a butler… you had to blink a few times at the image.
Shirou Emi-Astaroth was dressed like Kamen Butler, no… that was wrong he wasn't cosplaying like one of the characters of the newest Kamen Rider series but just put a butler suit over his regular hazmat suit that was modified to have a more super sentai look.
It was just so weird that he has taken a piece yet and become a devil, he was decently skilled and 'son' of a Satan so the backstory of being a cambion shouldn't make it difficult for him to join a peerage.
[Waiting for Miyu/Enjoying having an excuse to walk around dressed like that]
Ah, that makes sense.
Family comes first.
At the end of the dinner, you were kissed by Miyu and told to not worry, her mom wanted to give thanks by making you look well before she retired to her lab for some experiments… Mixing two different magic systems is the only thing that you understood of her explanation, Shirou got called by his girlfriend to give her food and baby Kaiser got new pajamas from Elttil so he ended up sleeping immediately.
Leaving you only with your in-laws and a pile of body parts that were organs, pieces of skin, and other stuff… you tried to not pay attention at how few parts sparked from a moment and moved in a pattern like pipes, it was very distracting,
"You modified your pieces." The words of Acchan were very clear, and didn't need explanation.
He wanted you to pay back for your slight, it was a debt that you forgot about and didn't put much weight… you didn't consider how it would feel to Acchan.
"I want you to do the same with this." This wasn't your friend but the lord of Gluttony, and he wanted you to show the same power that upgraded your pieces in a pile of human flesh.
[Magic Crest, pieces of magic and research build-up since times of Solomon]
The details came to your mind once your Intuition and Structural Analysis read the tale… flesh grimoires of hundreds of different families, research made by cruelty and insanity, scraps of advance force by the despair of a dying art that tries to reach the beginning, and everything but build in sin.
You were reminded of the book that Nezuko almost eat a few years ago, you didn't really expect that mages of Miyu's world would take after the devils.
"No." And this was the only answer that you had to Acchan.
"No?" Maggie asked, her face puzzled while Acchan just lift an eyebrow.
It really showed his confusion, as your friend was sure that this was the perfect opportunity to fix a relationship as you broke his things, and now you had a chance of getting back to his good side by using one of your weak points to drive you to a corner.
"No." You were sure of the answer.
This was stupid, you already had a way that Acchan could accept as payment without involving Miyu, subtle wasn't something that you specialized so you began to summon the different technobullshit that you managed to buy putting the instruction manuals that come in the boxes, for a nerdy guy like Acchan it was like you had brought multiple virgins to sacrifice in his honor.
Maggie was already drooling and looking at the consoles, imagining how to disarm them and analyzing every piece to use for the sake of breaking the understanding of reality.
"This will be my way to pay back for modifying my pieces." It was a gift, so you could use it like this. "But I am not going to regret it, I have to save her Acchan." You were genuinely sorry.
But even if you have to be on the bad side of a friend, there wasn't a way that you could abandon Pandora now.
The Satan Beelzebub, looked at you and then nodded to Maggie who began to check the manuals with glee and teleport the things to another side of the room, but before she retired the assistant mad scientist gave you a big hug.
"Best son-in-law!" She shouted at you and teleported away for Science.
"Then what do you want in exchange for your help?" This was Acchan now, a hand on his hair was the only way that he showed his frustration as he couldn't get angry.
[He already is dissecting the tech with his eyes, only love for his daughter keeps him from joining his wife.]
You knew that this was a chance, you could use this moment to get more time, to get a piece that could handle Pandora, to just ask for help and take away all the doubts and fears. To just stack the deck again and… you didn't want to abuse your friendship with him.
(Just do what you think is alright) You accepted those words and smiled.
"Why would I need a reason to help a friend and girl that I love?" That is your answer, that was right you didn't do anything more from Acchan. "Just point me where and I am your crazy sacrilege maker." You had more than enough chances to make it work.
Friends don't abuse each other, Acchan would help if he wants and you would help him because that is what family and famiglia do.
You think that saw a hint of a movement in his mouth? Must be a signal of the final war coming soon or thinking about something insulting to Sirzechs or you.
It was something that you put aside as you began to focus on the new challenge in your eyes, your face was exchanged by your helmet and newly formed pierced the pile of flesh and information for the sake of truly reforming this in a new as a single item, so many parts and so many differences were in this to the point that you could heard a discussion.
Voices against voices, piling over each other as their paths were both similar and different.
[Don't crumble at the challenge]
Exceeding this limit to overcome the world itself, and that was the very definition of heresy.
[Don't dare to collapse until it ends]
You didn't need strength, you didn't need to think, you didn't need to feel, you didn't need to do anything but impart a feeling into your flames.
To reach the peak just a single thing was needed.
Surpass yourself and reach the devil that wants to create a treasure that couldn't be taken away from the hands of Miyu.
That was what you put in the transparent flame, moving the fire and pair it with your orange flames, the flow of the world followed to flutter and dance gracefully with the flames, until the voices were reduced to just a few as if blooming in the competition they became stronger and louder in response as it continues to be more polished.
[And was fighting you, conflicting ideas, goals, and information]
The colors and everlasting desires, was a banquet for dominance but you aren't going to left a bunch of old bastards from extinct families' win against you, their tale ended and Miyu's has only begun to truly shine.
[Boundaries have been pierced, mixing… complete. Correction begins now]
The goal that you were chasing finally was completed, but you could do better just a heir, just an inheritor, just a single chance isn't something that you would accept. What Miyu, Maggie and Acchan goal was always ordered magic, never leaving things to fate or chance for failure and mysteries that used the mages?
Now? You changed it to a Truth and took away the Flaw.
The greatest result as the voices were silenced, the law was changed and the flow was corrected.
[Seized Potential by Determination and Grasped by Resolution]
Your eyes began to lose light, one by one all of them began to close as your face returned to its normal form and flames got snuffed leaving a floating mass of circuit in your hand, a soft flame of Harmony kept it from touching his skin and fusing with his flesh.
"You are burning up." Acchan commented and your attention separated itself from the crest.
You were, the temperature of your body was about fifty grades higher at minimum, liquids already evaporating and replaced by flame or become denser to be. Blood came back, but the sensation continued for a few moments, almost too good and the change took less than a minute.
Your wings were out, taking energy and material to keep burning from the world.
How long it was?
[4 days, 20 hours, and 34 minutes.]
So no sleeping in Miyu's bed.
A disappointment.
Weirdly enough your body didn't feel that stiff, Shelia did leave you more tired and sore than this.
"Ah, right I almost forgot." All the sex and different duties caused you to ignore something that you should have told Acchan.
"I just know that this is going to give me a headache."
"Maria is now the Head of Asmodeus and needs her evil pieces." There you told Acchan, he can't blame you now for keeping it hidden.
Acchan looked at you then moved his face to his side where his wife already brought an entire crate of bottles, the Satan served himself a cup before checking the consistency and in an act that would make Alwyn and Beowulf's proud of their roots.
Drank the entire bottle in less than five seconds.
"Continue, I have enough bottles and Maggie can help you install the crest." Acchan was moving at a speed that your eyes couldn't truly see how many bottles of alcohol he managed to chunk.
And so you explained to Acchan, from your subordinates lacking survival instinct to enter the home of one of the Original Satans, and it was important to add it was truly the Original Lord of Lust instead of a shitty descendant, and took the greatest and most important relic of the house Asmodeus that determines who rules the House.
When you got into the tale of them trying their hand at finding another Hydra with boobs, Acchan told Maggie that is a K-91 situation and that needed privacy.
It was a pity, you had a lot more to tell him.
You had so much to live for, and so you had a greater number of duties, some of those are of utmost importance, in your day to day you had to be serious inside the headquarters of Caelum Ardor outside home to obtain answers for very important questions of those that you interrogated for the sake of your plans and ambitions.
"Who's a good girl?"
"Did… you ask me who's a good girl?"
…
"I…I bet that is someone who helps out the famiglia a lot?"
"Who's a good girl?"
"I think that I know who it is."
"Who's a good girl?"
"Is… is it me? I am a good girl?"
"Who's the best good girl?"
"It's gotta… it's gotta be… Eeeee!"
"It's you! You're the good girl!"
"AH! Master! I can't… you… I… Gah!"
You really loved your job, as an heavy breathing and tired Miku Naberius was feeling the remaining waves of pleasure of the orgasm that she just had experienced right now. Her panties drenched and you feel what she desired for more and more of this sort of pleasure.
And you haven't done more than petting and indulging in her praising kink!
Her body leaned on your desk for support, her rear pointing at you and her panties moving aside to show her slit that desires to be filled.
[She wanted to take her like the bitch in heat that she was]
Pride devils truly are some of the best women in the Underworld!
Your pants dropped, the fest wasn't going to be ignored as you put your dick in the middle of her legs and allowed your length to touch her bare tummy letting her know how much she was going to take, Miku shuddered letting out a little 'woof' as she moved herself for…
You froze, a new feeling invaded your core and stopped you.
Sheer annoyance.
"Nya motherfucker!" And Shirone fucking ruined the moment! "Took you too long!"
Marnie's Queen has too much fun with thug life, and chooses the worst moment to interrupt the two… just like a housecat that jumps into the desk and pee in your documents.
"Good afternoon, Shirone, is there something that you want?" [Translation: Tell me what you want and get out] You had a good deal with this pimp.
The cat didn't cockblock and will manage a willing pseudo prostitution ring that didn't know that they were prostitutes and gigolos, all for the sake of getting money for her candy and done by getting simps and their female counterpart the simpettes to pay part of their share of the Fourth Flavor to get laid with cougars and older men that want some fun who also pay Shirone for being the pimp.
A double scheme where the cat benefits from the devils in the famiglia and outside it.
But now the former and most important part of the deal was broken.
"…Shirone." And Marnie was back in control and worse… she was clothed again. "Talk." Also very angry with her friend.
Shirone lowered her heart-shaped sunglasses and her cocky smile disappeared as the Queen turned serious.
"I want to put a hit on my neechan's King." Come again?
You… killed and did it a fucking big amount of times alongside many members of your peerage to the point that the only one that hasn't taken a sentient life was Miyu and not for lacking opportunity but because she knew how to keep her test subjects alive.
But this? It wasn't just a job but downright betrayal to the faction and worse because Shirone was a vassal of the House Naberius.
Your gaze turned to your lover, a member of the same house as the target to plead with your mind that she did something before you had to bring her Queen to the authorities.
"What did the dumbfuck retarded asshole now!?" Marnie lost her temper?!
No... you had to put your attention on the fact that she didn't admonish Shirone.
Narrowing your eyes, your priorities changed to information recollection, and began to do work with a colder head for the sake of an impartial judgment.
Your helm was back in place, they are going to negotiate with the boss of Caellum Ardor, not the lover of one or business partner of the other.
"I will give you a chance to convince me." And just one.
(You are that upset at being cockblocked?) What?! N-no? A bit… Is an important thing and... (Uh, Uh, Uh… be fair.)
Your attention snapped back to the black-and-white duo.
Shit, you missed a lot Shirone's tale but your intuition managed to complete and add information to what she was telling about Dickshit Naberius, the only name that the duo was willing to give to Kuroka's King, and how subpart he was as a devil and King to the point that the other pieces were… it was better not comment their state just that it was an insult to Acchan's goal of expanding numbers with two of his pieces becoming strays and executed.
Kuroka was in danger there wasn't doubt about it, but an exchange was a tamer and better response to these actions. You could twist his arm, break bones, ruin the rep and force the weakling to bend for the sake of adding Kuroka to Marnie's peerage.
There were already a low number of aristocrats, actively lowering the number would net negative for the faction after losing so much blood in the civil war.
But while Shirone appealed to your morals, her King knew you better and the trio knew how to appeal to your base instincts.
Marnie knew that you wanted her, and was willing to offer the house as a vassal because she knew that there were secrets in the pillar things that Kane desires to know and they were going to use her as a Pawn.
Your wrath, triggered a hatred to Naberius and made you... ugh… dehumanize another pureblood and house.
Miku knew what you wanted from her and just kissed you, pressing herself on you and reminding you that she could make you very happy later. She had pride in her boy, acting as a temptress and reminding you of what was yours to take.
Your lust, one of the greatest weaknesses, and a reminder of what was yours to take moments before the interruption.
And the last of the trio, the Lust devil of three, Melody herself, the apparently smartest dog girl in existence who was going to get knocked up first before the other two of her sisters, and nothing would change it, you were outplayed and almost completely beaten after you saw the way that she tried to convince you.
Santa could eat shit, you had a pink-haired sugar mommy.
"Is this…" You couldn't voice it for the fear of being a dream
"Hmmm, I don't know." She was worthy of her sheer smugness and wield it as she pleased.
"A Duel-Runner." You voice it without having more breath in your lungs.
"Fu fu fu fu, do you want to test it?" The temptress's voice was almost too much.
The temptation was big, by Satan and Lilith, by Talos himself, by Ereshkigal even and to your greatest inspiration Seto Kaiba… you were going to marry this devil. It took all of your willpower to not go to the home of Marnie, Melody, and Miku to kill the fucker that upset her before making love in the same room.
[It's so awesome]
(It's stupid) You knew that the denial and desire were that strong.
You wanted to feel its power. You wanted to drive it and play a game.
You were barely restraining yourself, just a step from snapping just to get this thing up and running.
"That is an impressive boner." Shush you were having a moment, Shirone.
Your multiple eyes glared at Shirone, not even her could ruin this moment for you and in that instant, you saw something. A flow, a strange stream that was… data, all moving to the head of Shirone or her cat-shaped hair clip.
Out of curiosity, after you put on a pair of pants, you began to read it.
…
...
Shirone.
Miasma.
The breath of Kane began to contain traces of corruption, smoke of a purple coloration began to be formed around him, insanity itself manifested like the lessons of her sister of she should never do were bent as the world just broke and cracks formed in response to a declaration.
The End.
Her eyes dilated, her breath was lost and legs began to become too weak to keep her from failing to the floor.
When Kane turned so tall and imposed?
"Give your hair clips to Lord Beelzebub." His voice wasn't filled with cracking anymore; it was flowing outside like liquid.
It feels like a volcano as the air vibrates.
"Eh?" Her brain didn't catch up.
"Do it, and the hit will be done." His eyes that until now were filled with so much warmth turned to an inferno. "You just have to tell them that I sent you."
The devil that always looked at Marnie with love, that always gave her sweets and laughed no matter what she pulled out would just smile later and head pat her like a proud big brother.
That devil wasn't there anymore, she just saw a meteor, felt its heat and weight crushing her, it wasn't an individual but part of the world that commanded the rest.
She knew that Kane was strong.
But not a force of nature.
Not until now.
Nodding was the only thing that she managed to do before he walked past her, the world just trembled in every step as miasma, corruption, sin and even nature itself marked his steps alongside the burning orange flames that he left as footprints.
An incarnation dead itself walked away, nature and the world itself twisted to make a path for him.
She has never been turned on so much until now!
It was dark, why was it dark? It has been so long since you noticed the surroundings were so dark that even your eyes couldn't see the thing well, was it night already?
You couldn't understand, what happened?
You were talking with someone… It was Shirone? Yeah, you were meeting the pimp and her King, You were just learning about… something? Someone? Somewhere? And then…
You ended up so angry, you didn't remember why it triggered this fire, just that it grew until you saw only red.
You stepped into something, an eye opened and then noticed that it was a low class devil, you remember seeing this uniform when you collected Marnie for her walkies in the past. But the corpse was too damaged to determine the gender in normal ways.
[Male, about 200 years of service for Naberius]
Was he dead? Why would he die?
There was a hole in his stomach. You feel it now, the dried blood in your hand.
Ah, you killed it.
You moved away from the corpse, your tail moved to the front and was checked.
There were traces of blood, there was so much blood and ash as he smells the things now, it was like it impregnated everything around him.
And broken science stuff, you really didn't know how any of that stuff worked but was damaged, with a 'tch' you used your flames and repaired the pieces of monitor by purifying the damage and made the pieces wrong again.
There was a video, many devils trying to do something but then the video changed as if it was cut to another scene it was… a tail… your tail piercing the head of someone and bringing the body to a room in a frozen moment in the video.
The recording continued with multiple scenes, instances of disappearing before a last recording showed.
"Help! Something is here, we can't see it! But is here!" The devil in the recording shouted before death claimed him.
A hole appeared without blood spreading.
An arm was inside his torso, fingers straight and flames swirling around them, his flesh might just be made of paper as it wouldn't make a difference as how it tore through it and began to feel the movement.
He couldn't talk, he couldn't scream as the flames ignited through his stomach and scorched the way up to his throat, taking all the oxygen to feed themselves and grow further blackened corrupted fire erupted from his mouth, from his eyes and any other possible route as his body shook violently.
And then became ashes.
The video ended, and you saw your own face, words whispered but missed as the audio was damaged.
"Satisfaction and mirth, the blood is the payment for the sin that was committed." You repeated the words and couldn't really find an error in them.
[Traitors deserve death.]
You feel a stomachache, it feels something getting out of your throat… it expanded and grew to facilitate things getting out and in the middle of vomit you saw what it was.
The half of a head, carbonized and melted… that was in your stomach.
Shit, have you been infected by Nezuko?
No, the taste was just horrible and wasn't digested correctly, you didn't commit cannibalism for taste, predation or pleasure just weaponized biting.
Somehow you forgot to spit it.
This was annoying, what if that ended going on the other side? Fuck, you were going to have nightmares about that if you had the capacity to sleep. When was the last time? About twelve days ago?
[13 days and 14 hours since Shelia made you her bitch]
Embers came out of your mouth, it was the imitation of a cough and you felt yourself heating up.
Right… What the fuck is this place?
[Old Satan Faction's lab, 200 meters under the Naberius's Manor.]
You… are beginning to remember.
…
You think that aborted a few cloned babies if they weren't dead already by how deformed and cancer ridden their bodies were.
[They were mostly zombie filled with tumors]
Oh good.
Let's continue exploring.
Sadly, you didn't manage to touch the statue that was talking to you before your brother, Acchan and Sera-nee came and took you away from this place. He is such a nice guy, he even gave a review of your actions and approval of it, while giving advice on causing lasting pain and suffering.
Baldy was outside and also Grayfia, moving frozen bodies. The smell of death was clear, there was a battle… no it couldn't be called a battle but just a slaughter as the Naberius were too weak to put up a fight.
Numbers? Knowledge? Research? Tools?
That didn't matter in the face of true power.
[It was a purge.]
And you caused this.
There was a battered devil, you could barely discern his identity when his face was damaged beyond repair.
"You!" The traitor shouted when he saw you. "You caused all this!"
"Your pillar never abandoned the Old Satan!" You shouted flames, your brother had to stop you from going for the kill again.
Your aggression and hatred reached the peak, your brother was too soft! They deserved to die! To be extinct and be forgotten! It was centuries after the civil war! They never adapted or gave a chance to what Acchan made! Baldy worked too much! So-chan and you waited for hours to see Sera-nee again! They aren't going to ruin Grayfia's new life!
"Kane stop!" You didn't know who shouted as you kept struggling as the bravado that the bitch had dissapeared.
You didn't stop as your wings aimed until your prey, at the traitor, you tried to shoot him using Elttil, you tried to spit miasma at him, you tried to kill! Kill! KILLL!
And again and again, your attempts were stopped as the traitorous bastard was protected. Ice, spatial, annihilation and barriers, all your attempts failed, they were too visible and the shouts continued.
Your whole body ended up crashing against the ground, a force in the form of pure pressure was too much for it to fight against, and struggle with your arms and legs became almost impossible as you ragged.
But in the end, Purification won, your transparent tail moved and extended from underground by burning away soil and rock until it reached the traitor.
The separation of his legs from the main body was the only thing noticed of your action, the tip was too sharp and hot to not cut the bones like butter with a hot knife.
"Traitors don't need to walk." You glared at the piece of shit from the floor. "Or breath." You were going to take his future.
You began to feel your conscience leaving, the pieces of your true form retreating back on your body.
"This is for your own good." Who said it? Who denies this to you!
Words of others were taking too much effort to decipher, you were too tired, but you can't. He can't! You need have more, your mind didn't have time to rest and needs to kill it! YOU NEEDED MORE! YOU NEEDS FIGHT MORE! YOU NEED MORE! YOU NEED IT! YOU NEED IT! YOU NEEDS ARE….
(Stop!) A single voice pierced the haze.
The flow stopped, and in your last moment a single word began to appear in your mind.
Malabranche.
You had been taking drugs.
Lots and lots of drugs, Acchan and Sirzechs blame your reaction to being in contact with a Malabranche aka Lucifer's uber-edgy version of Sacred Gear that like most of Lucifer achievements ended half-baked and with lots of issues because the idiot doesn't know how to do shit in a way that wouldn't bite the ass of the future devils.
So again, you have a diet of drugs and tranquilizers for the sake of keeping you calm before you stabilize from the experience, you just gained resistance to the drugs in less than eight hours, got some stronger ones afterward that would kill bigger creatures than a basilisk.
And then when checked over in the infirmary/cell room you finally got interrogated… you lied well enough to get carte blanche in your ultimate goal.
"Marnie comes with me, Naberius or Nabiros can be repopulated." Your response made Acchan decide that you were back.
A talk about not going to investigate by yourself and that you weren't the only devil driven mad by the statues was expected… You knew that it wasn't the Malabranche… you just snapped, what you read… what you understood of the transmission to the chip inside Shirone's hairpins.
It was just something that reminded you that Beowulf was right.
It was easy, too easy to just turn into a Wrath.
You really needed help.
But couldn't get it at the moment without confessing about your use of that ritual, and disliked keeping that lie but you weren't willing to lose your freedom.
…Your peerage has been treating you differently since that attack.
They feel it, whatever you did when you ended up rampaging and were worried.
Jack contacted Sirzechs and called So-chan to Sera-nee to get you out, alongside Shirone giving Acchan the information.
The rest prepared the famiglia for war and kept Zest safe.
And now that things were over the pieces needed to be collected.
All of them gave your space, tried to act supportive, and in some cases took you for dates to keep your mind away from the berserkening as Beowulf advised to them for the sake of adjusting yourself better.
It was… Strange. With a big S, you got a full body massage on the first day and since then you had all your needs fulfilled. Even your duties as daddy when Zest had the weird food urges were taken care of by Nezuko killing zoidbergs with her squad.
Was this what it feels like on the other side? That your peerage didn't care about your acts and just how it ended affected you? They just took your side and just wanted you to be alright.
It was nice.
Neptune even rested in your lap and let you pet her like a cat for emotional support.
…It may or may not involve a mindblowing blowjob as a result of her hyperactivity while sleeping.
Talking about Gamindustri's girls.
Compa took the choice to join Marnie's peerage, in her words 'everyone needs someone to heal the injuries, even those that can't be seen easily'. She was a good woman, with a heart bigger than many others.
And IF long since joined So-chan's squad of quirky minibosses for lewd… magical girl team, she may try to act like she was above it but she was the same type of cute and silly them.
The world… it moved even if you weren't there to notice it.
You need to be better, a reminder that you lacked self-control.
(You don't have to try) Your conscience fairy told you. (You are still young, there is time to grow and learn, begin to better understand yourself more, and just keep living to get there.)It was filled with warmth and care.
You really think that you could fall in love with someone like her.
"Kane! Let's go eat some pudding!" Neptune broke the door of your room!
"What-?!" How did your Intuition miss her!?
"Whoops, did I surprise you? Sorry." Neptune stop being cute, it was hard to keep up with the heart-stopping moments.
"I've just been busy and distracted." You didn't give details.
"Were you jerking on me?" Neptune uses teasing!
Your eyebrow arched, what use did your hands have when you were horny? If you wanted to do something lewd with Neptune it was far easier to share a bed and let her have her way with you.
"Why would I use my hands when I have you?" You enjoy pulling one over her. "Anyway, you came for something else."
"Oh, yeah! Here you go! Ta-tata ta-da!" It was cute that she made her own sounds. "Pudding for Zest, the Final Boss of sweets herself!" And after giving it, the Knight gave a salute.
You salute back.
"Mission accomplished." With a serious face before getting away.
You chuckled a little, Neptune was just a bundle of pure goodness and happiness.
…
Oh… OH!... OOOOHHHH! THIS IS THE GOOD SHIT!
T-this puding was different from anything that you had tasted. It was… By fluffy, this was better than the Fourth Flavor to your tongue.
[It tasted sexy.]
(...Why does this taste like sex.) You don't know, but you wanted more.
[Breast milk is the secret and eromancy of Shelia]
…You loved that sex magic was a thing.
And finishing your food, let you just do something.
These months have been too long, it was like there was something else to do, that continuously continued to eat away your time in ways. Even short visits turned into more and more complicated activities and took away your original purpose.
How could your attempt to cheat the system by taking the virginity of a loli dog girl turn into slaughtering her evil family and uncovering a conspiracy?
Seriously, when Marnie figured out that two of her could have sex and keep one of them untouched for checkups, the only thing that you had planned for the day was just to ruin a dog girl and some sex play before you stole her from her pillar.
Not annihilate a pillar!
But enough was enough, you had to take care of something important that couldn't wait anymore. If your Luck continued, you knew that some bullshit will happen that will keep you away from your birthday.
You aren't… going to wait anymore.
Step by step, you could feel frustrated.
You were angry with yourself.
Again and again, you said many words and gave important promises to her.
Only to turn them into just a red herring.
You hated to lie to those that you cared about, you hated to put her aside, and you felt frustrated that in so much time you couldn't see her or weren't capable of seeing yourself enough for her.
You were getting the haze again covering your eyes with the emotion directed at yourself.
But a thing that you discovered recently.
The anger that you felt? That was necessary for everyone. It was ugly, distracting, a bad advisor, and generally something that made most of the decisions that can be regretted after it ends. It was something that drained everything and drowns the mind in a sea of negativity.
But amount all the forces of the world, anger was the best motivator to get things done.
If you broke a promise? If you feel like trash? If you feel unworthy of the trust that she gave you? Tough shit, you will make up for it.
You knew that it was too late, the fake moon was in the sky and she could be sleeping but fuck that she is going to get be yours.
Why did Neptune give you pudding now?
[Neptune was gaming and decided to get a late-night snack then remembered to give you a pudding]
…That makes more sense than you wished it to have.
Her door was open, and she was in her bed struggling to sleep.
[Nightmares]
Was it common for her?
But Pandora gasped when she realized that he was now in front of her, you could see for an instant a body extremely scarred and even possible to see the bones at places where it was too charred, even her missing right eye had a large scar over it.
She was too hurt.
She inched back when you lifted one of your hands up to her, "N-No… Stay away! STAY AWAY!"
He put a hand in her hair and another on her back, pulling her towards his chest.
"I am here." She isn't alone anymore, she doesn't have to be scared.
"K-Kane! What are you doing here!?" Ah, she is awake now.
"I broke your trust and broke my promise to you… I can't kill you anymore." You confessed you haven't been capable of it for a long time, and now.
Your flames don't want to hurt her anymore.
"…Why?" She cried, and you couldn't blame her for it.
You were her last hope to finally rest.
You didn't respond for a minute, this mouth of yours was already filled with so many excuses for it, and your mind just keeps returning to the same conclusion… You can't hurt someone that you loved and only keeps moving the hand on her back in circles.
Even if this feels too little.
"Because I want you to be mine, and it can't wait anymore." You confessed, there wasn't more time to use… no without risking being too late. "No with the sort of messes that I keep getting caught into."
You kissed, softly.
So many things have happened in the half-year since the day that you met her.
It just resulted in ending up loving her, you had been experiencing so many precious moments that you wanted to get so much more from her but none of it was because she was simply something to use, you wanted the woman, not the pythos that she carried around.
"If i-its for my…" Power? Curse? Potential?
"Isn't because of that, I want you." It was greedy and stupid desire that long since forgot how could affect others.
You confessed how you feel about her.
"I want to tease you again, I want to see you laugh, I want more and more memories with you at my side." She was fun to have around, you adored her antics, loved her smiles… "Pythos? Holy Grail? Your curse? Why should any of that matter when I have you with me?" What you wanted is an excuse to spend all your life with her without anyone else trying to separate her from you.
Pandora, please be mine. Because you broke that promise out of greed.
"I can't kill you anymore, no devil of Greed could truly damage one of their treasures. Pandora, my Black Diamond, I will give you a new plea from today onwards." Because she has been yours since the day that you met her.
A piece appeared in your hand, you didn't know what was used just that you felt the connection being formed as it touched her back.
You wanted to tell her those words that she always wanted to hear, you wanted to say the words that had waited for so many years to be heard, you wanted to say the words that were repeated so many times inside your mind as this was what you wanted for her-!
[The entire realm of your world just began to shake at the immensity of this new flame finally having access to your whole self]
"You can weep and ask for help." You said in a whisper, never stopping consoling the girl as your sense of self cracked as your Sky tried to take her. "You can even lean on me with your runny nose." You told her, so she began to try to smile while in pain, you don't know if she or you managed it but continued anyway, it was something necessary.
[You began to understand and Harmonize]
"You can cry when you feel like crying and laugh when you feel like laughing." Your stomach feels almost opening from inside and getting the entrails stripping, you forced the flames to cauterize again but didn't change the strength of this grip.
[You weren't made to take this bond, a Sky can't handle what doesn't belong]
If she suffered you would too, as she will not be alone. You aren't a Sky, you are hers.
[So be it]
"I will be there when you're crying up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good amount of tears too with an even uglier face." You joked as the anger receded and the pain began to come back in revenge, a part of your skin almost melted but you took that heat and internalized it.
[You can't handle it]
Then memories came from the bond, so many things that were almost as painful as the injuries gained from Vortigern. But… Fluffy would manage to do more than you imagined, if his Will was capable of changing a dying world why you couldn't change yours?
[Your flame is burning hotter.]
"When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice." You promised her, you needed to continue talking, to not falter until this finished, you can handle everything and more.
That is what it means to be a King.
"That's how it should be. Because you aren't alone because I am at your side." Words that you wanted to make her heard, again and again, words that your Night needs.
Something snapped in place.
The pain stopped at that moment, clarity began to come as the suffering receded to the point that everything feels so numb, you feel so tired, so drained and this time your Sky was so utterly broken apart and remade to accept her that the pieces of your psyche were melted back in different shape just to accept her completely.
So many things that had been repressed were just back and placed alongside the rest of the Elements of the Sky, no matter how painful and scary it was… she can count on you to share with her.
The darkness belongs to your World and was filled with so many beautiful stars.
Adrenaline began to abandon you, the tension left your body and soul, it was something that strained your Sky to the point that you needed rest.
And fell above Pandora.
…
"...Aren't you going to ravish me?"
"I am tired, can't we just snuggle?"
…
"…Will you hold my hand at least?"
"Always..."
"It hurt."
"…Hm?"
…
"It really hurt you."
"You… are... worth.. it.."
…
Pandora.
Thanks you.
For someone that lived in a world where nobody would give anything for others, lived a hell that claimed her whole life and existence was to be killed again and suffer everything anew.
She lived without anything for so long that she didn't care anymore when Darius gave her hope, there weren't moments of remorse or time to feel any regret as she was erased since the first time that he used her pythos. But what would matter when all a nameless being that never once had a proper name and lived in misery since the beginning, it wasn't an excuse but always repeating until she just surrendered.
Never having family or friends closer, it was something that repeated no matter what identity she obtained…
Leona…
Monica...
Sylvie…
Vanessa…
Victoria...
Julia…
Vlastimila…
…Erika.
All were names, all them attempts… all of them failed attempts from Darius but all paled in comparison to this day.
So she, a nameless doll finally feels deep in her soul the warmth of a place that truly belonged to her, a broken oath and promise turned into a flame in her chest.
Looking at his face, she wants to thank you for everything.
For how you glanced at me.
For your words.
For that form in that you see me when we talk.
For giving her something that she didn't search for but can't get enough of.
Kane you made a new me, and vindicated so many things.
So she will promise to be someone very different, and always keep you always in her mind.
Until the day that she dies… she is going to become faithful to your belief and accomplish your dream Kane.
Because she is Pandora now, the name that belongs to the Pythos that she always had now was hers, she wanted to be his so he will get both.
She was his Night.
Kane Gremory.
You were feeling a bit… better.
You couldn't describe it, there was just this sense of wholeness in your Sky, the expansion that occurred in your existence as Pandora finally joined to everyone it was so hard to describe as you couldn't truly see the beginning of it.
Of the Night.
[The space between stars, the Element of connections, the moment that it shows in the Sky was the moment that others can see what is beyond.]
What would fit more to someone that has been hurt and suffered until their will broke? Is reaching out for someone or something that could save them, be with them, to create a path beyond their prison and isolation as nothing can truly separate itself from their shadows and the darkness.
So it manifests as Portals.
But the Night is immense, so much that it doesn't exist in the normal spectrum and only appears when the element that belonged disappears and the night comes into existence from that void, called in response to the despair and loss.
[A world without Tonelico.]
…You needed to talk with Acchan.
And that was why you were once again in his lab with your back in one of the operation beds, telling him all the things that you had weighing your mind... You think that you had done this a lot.
"I am not a psychologist." Acchan lied, he is an expert in child psychology and read multiple books about teenage rebellion because Shirou hasn't called him dad.
Apparently, the first two decades of a human life are rather important.
He still wrote important points about the information gathered, taking everything with patience and checking.
"But you can't be like Pandora." You looked at Acchan who just saw something like a fact. "You are stronger than that, there hasn't been a bigger headache and it's ridiculous that you think that is possible for you to acquire that power."
It wasn't finished, Acchan gave a frustrated look at you and made you feel that he was explaining such simple concepts that he can't believe that it needs to be said.
"In the end, you are a chaotic devil that keeps a stupid arrogant smile and acts like the world is his sandbox to mess around and have fun no matter how big of a mess is produced." Ouch, that burned far deeper than you could prepare for. "Or how many others end up involved in the weirdness, it's impossible to change who you are Kane."
But Acchan didn't end, he prepared a lot more burns to deliver but just decided against it.
"Miyu, would be disappointed if you had to get a minder for something so simple." Acchan was quite a nice guy. "If you need another reminder just buy a mirror, and just see the face that you have. Anything else before I teleport you away?"
…You really worry for nothing, maybe Acchan can give answers for this other thing instead of ending with you wasting more of his time.
"I think that Ereshkigal did something weird to me when she healed me." You told Acchan who raised an eyebrow "...I gained that thing that keeps telling others about good and bad only to guide you to the good side."
"A conscience?" Acchan completed and showed his knowledge about random unimportant stuff. "And why do you think that?"
"I keep looking at a mini magical girl telling me stuff that I should do to not be so much of a bad devil." And damn if that tactic isn't a hell of motivator to keep clean.
He raised a finger, frowned, and then put said finger under his chin before nodding.
"It makes sense." Acchan admitted.
(How does it make sense!?) Well it made her and she is absolutely stunning beauty. (Eh?)You enjoyed having her around, her advice was to the point and if was divine intervention then how someone so amazing would come to your live?
She is a best girl and you are lucky to have her around.
…
Miss Conscience?
(Y-You have to work! Y-yes work! Pandora is going to be soon and you need the extra boost!) Your conscience was right! You forgot about making contracts.
[Pandora can be lewded now, rest and prepare to do her!]
"Thanks for your time Acchan! I will leave this as payment!" You summoned from your inventory the metals, books, and armor that you got from Talos' turf.
And triggered a summoning circle in your pocket to go on a mission!
…
Ajuka Beelzubub looked at the stack of books and different minerals around his lab, he put aside the newest notes about Kane in the same place, as usual, the forbidden research folder where is always the research that would drive insane his assistants with the exception of his wife, one of the reasons of why he takes the risk of interacting with Sirzechs' brother.
Kane Gremory was always a mixed blessing of opportunity and insanity for research.
Took a book and began to check it. It wasn't an original copy but translated by Kane's hand, not necessary but appreciated. His handwriting has become better with practice and the ink was always a good conductor for the curses as always was booby-trapped to punish anyone that stole his gift.
Kane had that habit since he learned curses, it was unknown if he noticed that he weaves them in his gift like these books that would trap the soul and drain them of their knowledge to fill their pages of any that read too much.
The ores of black stone do remind him of the samples that he has of Kane's tail and wings, it was a surprise that his body was more in common with raw minerals than fur, leather, or skin as it was a very interesting mixture, and material to research like a fusion of multiple traits of different materials like the durability of obsidian and heat conduction like silver.
Then again it makes sense from a certain point of view, Kane was headstrong so rocks made a symbolic sense that he had rocks in his head and he is infatuated with a Zagan since he saw her for the first time so subconsciously shaping himself for her.
With that, he had a few new pages to write about.
Note: Fucking done. Lots of things, and events that needed an extra because dice got crazy and you had to roll high for the event to get an Oyakodon date. Misunderstanding ahoy, and so many little things that keep making this bigger, fucking Malabranche even if was mostly skipped that gave a free-from-jail card when Kane was full Demon. Going to spend tomorrow editing so much of the character check and rewarding omakes. Anyway, you can ask anything and tell me if I missed something. Now a message of LittleKuriboh.
Cardgames in Motorcycles! Because you seduced a smart scientist that knew how to wait for her chance.
Trait Gained:
The Facet of Wrath, Predatory Tracker: It must be admitted, you are a devil. One whose immense Greed took the Epithet of Wrath and added it as another expression of your very ambition. This dangerous emotion was how unstoppable your hatred became when triggered by those that try to take from you, the sense of reason ends forgotten and the individual turns into prey that you would follow and track for the rest of your life. They wouldn't be a person after that, they turn into prey for you to hunt, infiltrate their world, and break it up under your knee. Bonus to Infiltration, Tracking, and Predatory acts.
Correction: There are errors, they exist to be purged but what if it can be corrected? What if it can be fixed a wrong aspect and make it work? Purification is about the elimination and purging of aspects to make the whole better but you managed to figure out how to replace aspects instead of just take them away to mesh your Harmony into it and accomplish. Wrong information could be fixed by overlapping books and in the case of how you discovered? Fixed the fucks ups and errors of millennia of research by fusing it all into an index.
Shapeshift Tyrant Wings/Tail/Head: You were blind, maybe you always were like that with all the sort of things that you had missed. Your hubris in taking pride in your understanding and perception keep you away from the truth of things but your greed just formed new eyes even if you didn't need them anymore. Your face and mouth replaced by a helm and maw truly show your brutality and desire for more, apparently, you still keep your hair. No bad, it was glorious.
Elttil's new trait/mode:
Cambio di Forma Magico Taschino - Prodigioso Mestiere: The Greatest Weapon form that Elttil could reach for you. A small pouch that hides a Furnace, the creative aspect of your familiar and his craft reaching the peak and prepared to create weapons infused in your very flames. Elttil is every single one of these weapons, every bullet, and arrow, every explosive and missile, every hammer or knife... and could control them, leave them invisible, leave them around, or all three if you wanted. His function is to fill the battlefield, yours is to break some heads... he is a little bastard that eventually would ruin the day of your enemies.
The Hearth Furnace: You kind of broke your mimic, maybe was that you overfeed Elttil with your flames or the Cambio di Forma left traits of it inside its core functions but it ended up causing Elttil to develop a... mass production complex? Yup, that is a good description. His production rate is Sky High all the time! What would you do with all this stuff!? I can't break beds and rip clothes that fast Elttil don't use me as an excuse to make things!
Item lost:
A Complete Recording set of Ultra High Quality: Can be used to make a porn movie or gets simps by making V-tubbers.
73 Videogames of all genres.
The Forbidden Game: Don't touch it, this will put the sexuality of any man in danger and makes Boku no Picco look like DOOM.
A Doggo that Kane mistook for a corpse while distracted.
A good amount of weapons and armors.
Magic books of Skyrim.
Corpses for Nezuko: You all know the deal.
Metals of different types you don't know what properties they have but Miyu and Acchan can experiment with them.
Item gained: A Real Duel Runner.
Ars Arcana Index: You preferred to call this Karma, the things that you saw and understood making this thing really made Acchan be the savior and hero of a dying world, holy fuck Miyu people are way worse than you and there isn't anything to regret in taking and plundering millennia of knowledge gathered by sins against humanity any other supernatural species that the magi put their hands on. This biological Grimoire also comes with assistants... you were drunk in power and didn't see any tentacle monster inside. Is just Miyu growing as a Dark Magical girl that she develops an illusion of it.
