Chapter 8: "The Demon of Dreams Arrived (And Made Sleep NSFW)"
Volume 5: The Forbidden Queen Wants Me (But So Does My Entire Harem)
Section 1: Sleep Mode Activated (Sort Of)
Kai hadn't slept in three days.
Not because he couldn't.
Because he shouldn't.
> [SYSTEM ALERT: A DEMONESS OF DREAMS HAS BREACHED REM CYCLE PROTOCOLS] [WARNING: EVERY TIME YOU SLEEP, YOU BECOME MORE ATTRACTIVE IN HER EYES]
Kai slapped himself awake. Again.
Yui: "Your mental state is at 17%. Hallucinations are imminent. Also, your pajamas are on backwards."
Kai: "That's because SOMEONE flipped them in my dream while seducing me with pillow-scented moans!"
Moona brought him coffee infused with divine espresso.
Elyssaria summoned wakefulness wards.
Lilixara handed him a panic button labeled: 'IN CASE OF DREAMGASM'.
And still, he nodded off.
For exactly 2.3 seconds.
And that's when she arrived.

Section 2: Welcome to the Lustmare
The sky was made of velvet lingerie.
The moon was a giant eye winking seductively.
And Kai? He was in a bed 300 meters long, surrounded by glowing heart-shaped clouds.
A figure slithered from under the covers.
Hair like starlight. Eyes like night. Skin like twilight and temptation.
Nyxaza, Demon of Dreams, kissed his forehead.
Kai: "You again?!"
Nyxaza: "Me always, darling. Sleep is the one realm none of them can protect you in."
Kai tried to wake up.
Didn't work.
He was stuck in a dreamstate that obeyed one rule: whatever he feared, it would twist into pleasure.
Kai: "Oh gods, please don't turn that guilt from kissing Gula into a cuddly guilt-monster with six tongues—"
It did.
Nyxaza giggled. "Your fantasies… are so creative."

Section 3: The Nightmare Trial
Kai found himself on a dream stage, every member of his harem in the audience.
A spotlight fell on him.
Nyxaza's voice echoed from nowhere and everywhere.
"To win my approval… you must confess your darkest desire in front of your lovers."
Elyssaria summoned a sword.
Malvexa cracked her knuckles.
Vel'Mirexa folded her arms.
Lilixara produced popcorn.
Kai choked.
Then he stepped forward.
"…I want to love you all. Not because a system told me to. Not because I'm scared of you. But because you're all insane, terrifying, and beautiful. And I'm addicted to the chaos."
Silence.
Then Nyxaza clapped.
"I accept your desire."
She appeared in front of him.
"Now… kiss me. Or wake up forever unfulfilled."
He kissed her.
Reality collapsed.

> [NOTE: WARNING — Nyxaza can also enter his dreams at will.]
Section 4: The Waking Aftermath
Kai jolted awake.
Everyone was staring at him.
He was naked.
There was lipstick in places that weren't anatomically possible.
Moona looked traumatized.
Serika was hiding behind a curtain.
Lilixara: "So... how was your first official dream harem performance?"
Kai groaned.
Nyxaza materialized beside him in a cloud of sleep-scented perfume. "Room for one more in your bed?"
Yui beeped.

Kai screamed internally.
Section 5: Pillow Talk and Panic
Nyxaza snuggled into Kai's arms, whispering dreams of future kisses and cuddles that might involve floating hearts and collapsing realities.
Elyssaria stared.
Malvexa started charging a fireball.
Gula brought snacks.
Vel'Mirexa asked for details.
Lilixara just started selling tickets.
And Kai?
He was preparing for war.
