Volume 2, Chapter 1: The Demon Queen's Proposal – Marriage, Murder, and Midnight Orgies
---
It began with a wedding invitation delivered by a talking skull.
Not an ordinary one—this skull wore lipstick, hummed suggestive songs, and rode a flaming raven across the sky like it owed her rent. It crash-landed in the middle of the goddess basecamp and promptly declared:
"By royal decree of Her Infernal Majesty, Queen Seraphina of the Seventy-Seven Lust Thrones, the rogue glitch Kaizelon is summoned to appear before the Court of Carnal Intent!"
Kai blinked. "What."
The skull rolled its glowing eyes. "In simpler terms: You've been drafted for marriage."
Nyxa coughed. "Wait—Seraphina wants to marry him?"
Velmaria clenched her jaw. "That sadistic man-eater demon witch?"
Yui cracked her knuckles. "Didn't she try to boil your soul in wine?"
Eirnys softly moaned. "I remember her... she smelled like heartbreak and melted gold."
Kai just rubbed his temples. "Can someone please tell me how I ended up as fantasy Tinder's top result?"

[Notification: You Have Been Invited to a Royal Infernal Union]
[Terms: Accepting This Invitation Will Lead to Immediate Transport, Mortal Danger, and Possible Orgy Events]

Kai squinted. "There's a flirt button now?"
He pressed it.
---
[Seraphina's Response: "Mmmm... Bold. I like bold. Come prepared to bleed and beg, my sweet corruption."]
Velmaria turned purple with rage. "I'M GOING WITH HIM."
Yui raised a hand. "Same. He's not getting soul-seduced by some flame-thonged queen without backup."
Nyxa rolled her eyes. "Fine. Field trip."
Eirnys licked her lips. "I want to see what kind of crown she wears in bed."
Kai: "I hate how casually you all accepted this."

[Location Shift: Court of Carnal Intent – Throne of Desire]
The palace was alive.
Not metaphorically. The walls breathed. The pillars moaned. The chandeliers swung like they were into it.
Kai and his harem arrived in a chamber of velvet shadows, obsidian thrones, and writhing heat.
Then she entered.
Queen Seraphina.
She was seven feet of curves, cruelty, and charisma, wearing a black wedding gown made of shadows and sin. Horns twisted from her head like a crown of defiance, her tail flicking like it had opinions of its own.
"Kai~" she purred, voice like silk being slit open. "You finally came to claim your doom."
Kai held up his hands. "Look, can we not do the evil monologue until after introductions?"
She laughed. "Still sharp. Still arrogant. Still mine."
---
What followed wasn't a battle.
It was a test.
Of wills. Of desire. Of dominance.
Seraphina descended her throne and circled Kai like a predator. Her every movement dripped with command. Her every word curled around his mind like smoke.
"You've conquered goddesses," she whispered. "But have you ever been claimed?"
Kai didn't flinch. "I've been kissed by wrath and chained by guilt. I've earned every goddess here."
She leaned in. "Then earn me."

Seraphina struck first.
Her kiss wasn't a kiss—it was an event. A moment of chaos woven into pleasure, laced with forbidden code and infernal contracts.
Kai staggered—but didn't fall.
"You want to break me?" he whispered. "Try harder."
She did.
In three seconds she summoned:
A shadow bed made of corrupted dreams
A whip woven from angel tears
An oath of eternity engraved across his collarbone
Kai still didn't break.
He countered with a glitch-feedback loop: memories of Yui's first kiss, Nyxa's smirk at dawn, Velmaria's fire in the ruins, Eirnys's silent loyalty.
Love.
His glitch was powered by love.

Seraphina gasped.
Not in defeat.
In surprise.
"...You didn't just resist," she said. "You turned me on more."

Kai sat on the floor, panting.
Seraphina offered her hand.
"Congratulations," she said. "You've made history. No one's ever turned down my full seduction package."
He took her hand warily. "So, are we enemies, lovers, or just in a morally questionable situationship?"
She grinned. "All three."
Behind him, Velmaria groaned. "I am not planning another group honeymoon."
Nyxa raised her hand. "Technically, we haven't had the first one yet."
Yui: "We're gonna need a calendar."
Eirnys: "Or a dungeon with themed rooms."
Kai: "...Help."
