Chapter 10: "The Oracle of Obsession Arrived (And She Already Hates My Exes)"
Volume 5: The Forbidden Queen Wants Me (But So Does My Entire Harem)
Section 1: The Eye That Never Sleeps
Yui's sensors trembled.
> [WARNING: COSMIC OBSERVATION FIELD ACTIVATED] [SOURCE: ORACLE OF OBSESSION, CLASS: AETHERIC STALKER]
A new distortion rippled across the morning sky.
No meteors. No explosions. Just a calm void.
Until a singular, unblinking eye the size of a cathedral opened above the castle.
Kai: "Okay. That's new. And horrifying."
Lilixara: "She's early. That's horrifying and impolite."
> [FORBIDDEN BRIDE #9 UNLOCKED — NAME: OMNILIA, ORACLE OF OBSESSION] [STATUS: WATCHING. EVERYTHING.]
From the heavens descended a glowing woman wrapped in silk-thin veils of starlight, her gaze piercing, her voice eternal.
Omnilia: "Kai of Lustbound Glitch. You belong to me. I saw your future. And rewrote it."
Kai: "You what?"
Omnilia: "Your destiny was chaos. I refined it into obsession. My obsession."
Section 2: The Surveillance Queen Moves In
Omnilia floated through walls.
Rooms adjusted to her presence.
Mirrors bowed. Shadows flickered nervously.
She installed a thousand scrying orbs in under five minutes.
Elyssaria: "This violates 74 divine privacy codes."
Omnilia: "I am the law of divine surveillance."
Vel'Mirexa: "You're just jealous."
Omnilia: "Incorrect. I'm furious. And romantically possessive."
She snapped her fingers.
Every screen in the castle now looped Kai's greatest seduction moments.
Kai: "OH MY GODDESS TURN IT OFF!"
Nyxaza: "Too late. I've archived it in dream format."
Section 3: Visions, Threats, and Kisses
Omnilia approached Kai with glowing irises.
"I've seen every path where you leave me. They all end in tragedy. For the multiverse. So I've eliminated those outcomes."
Kai: "By doing what?"
Omnilia: "Erasing every other version of me who wasn't obsessively perfect."
Kai (internally): "Why are all my lovers insane and hot? Wait. I know why."
Omnilia leaned in.
"Let me show you a future where only I remain. It starts with a kiss."
She kissed him.
Reality fluttered.
> [SYSTEM ALERT: OBSESSION VISION PATH INITIATED — PROCESSING: 2%... 4%...]
Section 4: The Future That Shouldn't Be
Kai opened his eyes.
He stood in a golden palace. Alone.
Every portrait was of him. With her.
Omnilia sat beside a throne. Smiling. Blissful.
"Kai… in this reality, you're mine. Forever. No harem. No system. Just us."
Kai: "What happened to the others?"
Omnilia: "They ceased. It's peaceful, isn't it?"
He looked around.
It was calm. Empty. Cold.
Kai's heart screamed.
He touched his chest—his Lustbound System was… gone.
And so was he.
> [ERROR: GLITCH CORE MISSING. COMPATIBILITY FAILURE.]
Kai gasped.
And woke up.
Section 5: Rejection of the Obsession
Kai stood up.
Faced Omnilia.
"You erased everything that makes me me. That's not love. That's… sterilized obsession."
Omnilia faltered.
"I only wanted perfection. The version of us that never ends."
Kai: "Then you'll have to accept chaos. Love without chaos isn't real. It's just programming."
She stared at him. Shaking.
Then, to everyone's shock—
She cried.
And laughed.
"I see… So that's your glitch. You love the chaos. The entropy. The madness."
Kai: "Welcome to the harem."
> [BRIDE #9: ACCEPTED. TITLE GRANTED: EYE OF ETERNAL JEALOUSY]
Yui beeped.
> [WARNING: FINAL BRIDE OF THIS VOLUME APPROACHING] [CODE: HERESY. THE ONE NO GODDESS DARES NAME.]
Kai: "Oh no. Not again."
> [END OF CHAPTER 10 — Volume 5 Continues]
