She is turning dangerous!

"Hmm... So you're saying that if you don't seduce other women and make them fall in love with you, they will die? And your level is 17, but this one is fake?" Selene's expression was a complex mix of disbelief and incredulity, her eyes wide as if she had just heard something utterly unimaginable and absurd.

".... Yes," Aether responded, his voice barely above a whisper, filled with a sense of resignation.

He wrapped his arms around her waist, feeling the comforting warmth of her body as she sat on his lap, her presence grounding him.

Aether had finally decided to come clean with her..... He didn't want to cause any emotional burden and he knew Selene deserved to know the truth about him, no matter how bizarre or painful it might be. The thought of deceiving her any longer was unbearable.

He also felt an urgent need to be transparent with her now.... fearing that if he didn't, something catastrophic might happen later.
