Proposed (Slight R-18)
"Give me your heart and virginity." Runeas whispered close enough to him that Ashern felt her breath tickling his ear, sending a chill down his spine.
"W-What are you saying?" Ashern immediately covered his ear and took a step back, caught completely off guard by her demands.
For him, it was like in an important business meeting with the CEO and they suddenly asked if you had sex with your wife this morning.
Not to mention the alluring attire she was wearing since the beginning was increasing the blood circulation in his groin.
'This woman…is dangerous.' Whether Ashern meant that she could possibly kill him or if she was a danger to his heart, only he knew the answer for it, but there was no way he would say it out loud. 'If I didn't know beforehand, I would've thought I summoned a succubus.'
Runeas was aware of what's happening, giggled and flashed a teasing grin.
"I mean exactly what I said." Runeas leaped forward and hugged his arm, locking it between her breasts, serving as a shackle to prevent him from escaping. "All I want from you is love, your virginity is just a cherry on top and in return, I will do more than just fulfill the contract." She looked at him with eyes devoid of deceit. "I will love you too. I want us to be lovers."
"…So you want to be my girlfriend?" Ashern asked, using all of his willpower to divert his attention from the cushions on his arm.
"No, I don't want to be your girlfriend!" Runeas puffed her cheeks in indignation.
"Eh?"
"I want us to be wife and husband!"
"Eh?" His mind blanked out for a second trying to process her words. "Wait, wait, wait! Aren't you skipping a few crucial steps!? We just met moments ago!"
"How long you know the person doesn't matter in the face of love!" Runeas raised her voice and separated from him. She straightened her posture and started moving her arms like she was giving a presidential speech. "Listen, compared to a devil, human life is short like a candlelight, so we mustn't waste time on unnecessary stuff and ought to enjoy our lives to the fullest, ensuring that we can turn even fleeting moments into precious memories!"
"So young man, what is your response?"
Runeas finished her speech and stood proudly awaiting for his response, but the room was engulfed with silence as Ashern was momentarily speechless
"I see…"
'Although her words make sense, is this woman speedrunning romance? Who is she competing with!?'
Even if Ashern was the one who asked for a contract, he didn't expect to receive a marriage proposal!
"But Runeas, I want to ask some questions before I give my answer."
"Umu! It's good for both partners to be clear of their intentions and plans for the future. Go ahead, Ashern, I will clear your doubts.." Runeas nodded and gestured to him to continue.
"…Alright." Ashern cleared his throat. "What are your intentions with me?"
No matter how seductive Runeas was, Ashern's rationality that he cultivated over the years as wizard prevented him from making hasty decisions.
"Eh?" Runeas tilted her head and couldn't help but think that Ashern was acting like a father asking the question every parent asks when meeting his daughter's boyfriend for the first time, but in this case Ashern was both parent and daughter at the same time.
"Great question, Mr Crowley!" Runeas snapped her fingers and played along. "I have liked you since the moment I saw you, a love at first sight! I imagined our marriage, our honeymoon night, explore the world, h**d h*****g, hugging, cuddling, kissing, baby-making sex, hidden sex, roleplay sex, cosplay sex…kyaaaa! There are so many things we need to do!" Runeas started shaking her head shyly, with her hands covering her reddened cheeks.
'Woah, this woman is something…' Ashern chuckled nervously and felt weirdly excited.
"And then…then we had a lot of kids running around the mansion, playing with each other, calling my mom…kyaaaa!"
'Yep, she is lost in her own world.' Ashern thought and got the general idea of her intentions.
'Runeas wants me to join Gremory.'
It was understandable, in front of her was a descendant of Magic King Solomon, once a legendary figure who once contracted a devil from all 72 pillars and stood at the pinnacle of magic.
Only an idiot would pass up the opportunity to form a connection with such an individual.
Honestly, Ashern wasn't against marrying Runeas. For first impressions, she was lively, cheerful and extremely perverted, traits that he didn't dislike.
Furthermore, the Gremory is a ducal household of hell who was a prominent force during the devil civil war, it was without a doubt they had an extensive magical knowledge even if they weren't focused on it. Besides they were rich, influential and powerful, if Ashern were to join the family as Runeas' consort, there was no doubt he could access some of their resources.
And most importantly, the Gremory was friendly and not racist towards humans. So it won't be like a novel where the protagonist gets harassed by family members of his fiancee.
"If I accept, will you reincarnate me as a devil?"
"No." Runeas' response was instantaneous and serious as if Ashern brandished into a personal territory. It was a kind of reaction you expect from sports fans when you talk about their favorite club. "Unless you wish so, I won't reincarnate you into a devil. In fact, I would prefer it if you didn't."
"Why? I thought every devil would jump at the opportunity to recruit me into their peerage."
"And you are right." Runeas nodded in agreement. "But I am differ from the rest."
"I consider myself a passionate collector and have gathered thousands of treasures, rivalling even dragon nests." Runeas said with pride and a hint of nostalgia. "However, I have a code that I set myself to follow, and that is: I must preserve my treasures in their original state or return them to pristine condition. Maybe that's why I don't have a peerage even if my descendants have pestered me for it. And that's why—"
Then she swung her arm and pointed a finger at Ashern.
"—Ashern, I want you. I want to nurture you so that you reach your full potential, maybe at the level of that Harem King or even beyond. I want to see it with my own eyes." Runeas walked forward and reached her hand to gently caress Ashern's face. "Ashern, you are my special and maybe that's why I fell for you. You are like a treasure buried in sand, ready to be discovered and polished."
Runeas looked at Ashern's reddened face and smiled.
'How cute.' She thought and started stroking his cheek.
Meanwhile, Ashern's mind was anything but peaceful and his heartbeat quickened since earlier.
*Badump!* *Badump!* *Badump!*
'What is this? Am I seriously starting falling for her?'
Ashern had placed spells integrated in the wards to detect malicious intent, falsehood and many other things, but none of them had triggered. Of course, no magic was perfect and Runeas must have methods to fool the spells, but Ashern decided to give her the benefit of doubt.
"I've decided." Ashern placed one hand around her waist and the other caressing her cheek. His golden eyes were observing her violet eyes. "Runeas, let's get married."
"Yes, darling!" Runeas smiled brightly, her cheeks colored with pink blush. She wrapped her arms around him and they pulled themselves closer to each other.
Ashern felt his body shuddered at being called by 'darling' and a wave of happiness and excitement surged inside him.
Then as if their minds were connected, they leaned their heads until their lips met.
From what started as a simple peck, it soon escalated into moaning, exchange of saliva and their tongues wrestling, attempting to invade into each other's mouths.
Ashern's hands roamed around her body, with one starting to grope her large breasts while the other caressed her back to her thighs and then squeezed her soft buttocks. Meanwhile, Runeas was equally molesting him, exploring his sturdy body and squeezing his firm glutens before starting to rub his little brother.
After a few minutes, they finally separated to catch their breaths.
"That was…quite intense…" Ashern said as he recalled the taste of her lips and saliva. 'Sweet…'
"You were quite delicious yourself." Runeas said and licked her lips seductively. "Although I never expected to have such developed body~"
"…Don't tell me you thought all wizards were scrawny and frail, who spent the whole day all holed up in their workshops and can barely lift a shoe box?" Ashern asked with a raised eyebrow, causing Runeas to look away embarrassedly.
"W-Well I've been sleeping for a long time, so I am not quite aware of current trends in society." Runeas quickly presented an excuse, which earned a chuckle from him seeing how cute she was being.
"Well…you aren't exactly wrong in the first part. Wizards do spend a lot of time researching in their workshops, but if they can't even defend themselves, then they shouldn't even be called third-rate, only amateurs at best." Ashern explained as he playfully flexed his biceps. "Even if you are out of mana you shouldn't be out of options. That's why I decided to train my body in case I can't resolve the problem with magic, I would just use my fists."
Runeas giggled bashfully and kissed him on the lips.
"Then why don't you show me what you are capable of doing with that body of yours?" Runeas asked as she traced his torso with her delicate fingers.
"Of course, my…honey." Ashern said after he gathered enough courage to go past initial shyness.
"Muummn~!" Runeas squirmed in joy at hearing those words. "Call me that again! Call me that again!"
Seeing how much she was being called 'my honey', Ashern smiled and decided to be more proactive. He leaned forward and whispered to her ear.
"Then shall we head to the bedroom, my honey?"
Ashern felt her body twitch a few times in his embrace and saw through her closed legs, a transparent liquid running down from her thighs.
"Runeas, you—" Ashern widened his eyes and was about to ask, but was interrupted by a kiss from his lover.
"Darling, I don't think I can hold on anymore." Runeas whispered and Ashern swore that he saw her pupils were heart shaped.
"What a coincidence, I don't think I can either." Ashern said and lifted her effortlessly into princess carry while Runeas screamed like a fangirl as she was brought to her lover's quarters.
Once they arrived, Ashern dropped his devil lover on the bed. When he was about to strip his clothes, Runeas was already at the ends of her patience, flicked her hand and a wave of magic hit both of them, causing their clothes to phase out of their body and neatly fold themselves on the floor.
"Come at me darling~!"
Ashern got on the bed and positioned on top of her, with his dick knocking at the door of her vagina.
"As you may know, I unfortunately can't give you the treasure of my virginity." Runeas said almost dejectedly and locked her legs on her human lover. "But what I can give you is an unforgettable first experience that will engrave in your memories so my darling—"
"Don't hesitate and enjoy yourself, cum whenever you desire because from now on, this body is only yours."
Then without wasting more time, Ashern thrusted his hips and his dick entered without difficulty and was already knocking the entrance of her cervix.
Due to the overwhelming pleasure and the sound of flesh colliding, Ash didn't notice the system notifications.
Փ
"Ughr…" Ashern groaned as he kicked the blanket. He felt extremely tired, sore and sticky all over his body, making him unwilling to move even an inch of this body. However, he was also hungry and thirsty, so he had no choice but to force himself out of the bed.
Rubbing his eyes, Ashern finally took a look at his bedroom and…it was a mess.
Everything was all over the place, objects knocked on the ground and the ground was all dirty.
"What the hell happen—Ah…" Suddenly, Ashern remembered the events that transpired over the last 5 days and 4 nights of nonstop fucking.
They fucked like horny rabbits with no stop button until he passed out of exhaustion. In fact, he remembers almost fainting in night 2, but an energy suddenly burst out from his body that revitalized his stamina and cleared his mind.
Yes, Ashern awaked his Touki while fucking to his limits. No, it was correct to say that he went further beyond, as at some point Ashern's mind turned blank and stopped thinking, leaving his body to act on his own instincts to procreate.
Indeed, never in his wildest dream knew this was possible.
Realizing this, Ashern almost erupted in laughter, but stopped himself when he saw Runeas sleeping peacefully beside him.
"Right, I am married now." Ashern muttered, he never reached this far in his past life.
He was just a regular student in engineering university, but he suddenly died and found himself reincarnated as a baby.
'Not that matters anymore.' Ashern sighed, but seeing Runeas sleeping at his side, he couldn't help but smile at sight.
'Right, I should clean the house and make breakfast.'
With that thought in mind, Ashern got up from his bed and casted the greatest magic ever invented to human kind: Chore magic.
A branch of magic solely focused to ease everyday life, something that Ashern was eternally grateful to the people who created and developed this magic.
"{Clean}, {Organize}, {Dry}, {Ventilate}."
The dirty spots disappeared, the fallen objects floated to their original places and the smell lingering in the air disappeared.
Ashern nodded in satisfaction at his own work and headed to the bathroom to take his so needed shower.
'Oh right, there is the system.' Ashern recalled seeing notifications popping up, but he utterly ignored them as he was 'busy'.
'System, show me the tutorials.' Ashern mentally commanded as he turned on the shower.
[Currently, the Devil Contractor System has four main functionalities: Status, Quests, Devil Patrons and Gacha.]
[Status: Display your current state and skills.]
[Quests: Display your current ongoing quests and completed ones are recorded in [Log]. Each quest is generated based on your circumstances and the rewards will be based on the difficulty of the quest.]
[Devil Patrons: Display the devils you've made a contract with. It also shows your current relationship with them. After reaching a certain threshold, you will receive rewards from the devil.]
[Gacha: You can get G-tickets (Gacha currency) through quest rewards or achievements. Every item will be automatically stored in System subspace, but can't return once taken out.]
'Ah the classic.' Ashern had read enough fantasy novels to know all kinds of systems that protagonists had and he was glad that he got a normal one. Curiously, he checked one by one.

"…What?" Ashern muttered after finishing shower and was already drying himself with a towel.
There was a lot of information to take in, but what caught his attention was that his devil wife was already planning to gather a harem of devil girls for him already when they just got recently married.
'Just what did she awaken?' Ashern knew his wife was horny, too horny in fact, after experiencing it first hand and shook his head in fake disappointment. He couldn't blame her though, he also had harem fantasies. 'Still, I will need to talk about it later.'
'Now I need to check on notifications that I ignored earlier.'

Ω
"That's interesting, since it was derived from Gremory's trait, does it mean Runeas has something similar? And being summoned by me was one of the opportunities?" Ashern pondered.
'Zeo-something married Vel-something, who had power of Destruction, and gave birth to a monster like Sirzechs, who in turn met Grayfia who was part of the Old-Satan faction. And then Rias, who met Issei, the host of Boosted Gear, Gasper, who had Longinus potential Sacred Gear, Kiba, who had Holy-Demonic Sacred Gear, and many more…'
"Yeah that makes sense." Ashern nodded and started making breakfast for both of them. "In the meantime…yeah, let's do it."
It was time to face the past that he apparently couldn't get rid of.
A past that still haunted him.
'System, roll 3 times.'
The past of a gacha player.
"Honey, breakfast is ready!"
