Baron dreamed of hot springs. Quiet. Peace.
Then he woke up face-first in demon cleavage.
"You're awake," Nyxa said in a voice like silk and shadow.
"Am I dead?"
She tilted her head. "Not yet."
He jolted upright—almost cracking heads with her—and realized his bed was just a mossy forest rock, and his pillow had been… well. Demonic.
"Why were you—"
"You fell unconscious. I carried you."
"On top of your—"
"Efficient warmth transfer."
"That's not how physics works!"
Nyxa said nothing. She just handed him a small black scroll. Wax-sealed in blood-red. Labeled: Binding Contract.
🧠 SYSTEM WARNING:
Demonic Breeding Contract Detected.
Terms: Unknown.
Breaking the seal may result in soul forfeiture, harem expansion, or spontaneous nosebleeds.
"Nyxa," Baron whispered, "What… exactly… is this?"
She stared at him with unblinking crimson eyes. "A pact of protection. And maybe… shared reproduction rights."
Baron choked. "Is this how demons flirt?!"
Roka cackled from the tree above. "Sign it, lover boy!"
🎲 CHAOS INTENSIFIES
Back at the camp, tension was… sizzling.
Aria glared at Nyxa. Selen looked like she was taking mental notes for a thesis. Lilia tried to "accidentally" bless Baron every time she walked past.
Baron held the scroll like it was a live grenade.
"I didn't ask for this!"
"You fell asleep on her boobs," Roka smirked. "You invoked the ancient Rite of Pillow Claim."
"That's not real—!"
"It is in beastkin culture," she said with a wink.

🗺️ New Mission: The Village of Virell
A few hours later, the group arrived at their next destination—Virell, a peaceful village known for its herbal gardens and terrible monster infestation.
Posters lined the gate:
⚠️ WANTED
Giant Slime King – Devourer of pants
Last seen: Sitting on Mayor's porch
Reward: 500 gold or a date with the Mayor's daughter
(Slime King disqualified from the second option)
Baron stared. "You've gotta be kidding me."
"Nope," Aria said. "You're up."
"I fought a Sorrow Wolf yesterday!"
"Exactly. You're warmed up."
🧪 THE BATTLE OF THE SLIME KING
The Slime King was:
Gigantic.
Jiggly.
Suspiciously shaped like a heart with eyes.
Baron stepped into the clearing, armed with a frying pan and a starter sword.
"You got this!" Roka cheered.
"Try not to get absorbed!" Selen called.
"If you die, I'll resurrect you once," Lilia added softly.
"ONLY ONCE?!"
"Costs a lot of mana…"
Baron sighed. Then charged.
⚔️ BATTLE RESULTS:
Hit the slime. Slime jiggled back.
Tried to dodge. Slipped. Got partially absorbed.
Heard Nyxa say, "Fascinating…"
Escaped by punching upward through its gooey core.
Won. Covered in slime. Dignity: 0.
Back in the village, the girls debated which bath to throw him into.
"Cold spring!" Aria insisted.
"Hot!" Selen argued.
"Together?" Roka asked with a grin.
Baron just groaned. "This was supposed to be a dating sim…"
"Correction," Nyxa said. "It is."
And then she handed him a second scroll.
