Chapter 15: "Final Round: The Demon Queen Wants My Soul (And Maybe My Love)"

---

Kai woke up chained to a bed of roses.

Literal ones.

Each thorn gleamed like obsidian. The petals glowed with a faint red light. And hovering above him was—

"Lillithra," he muttered.

She smiled.

"Good morning, my glitched prince."

He tugged at the vines. "I didn't sign up for bondage breakfast."

"Oh, but your system did." She held up a glowing scroll. "You've reached the final stage of the Infernal Romance Trials. Congratulations."

Kai groaned. "What did I win?"

She leaned down, breath tickling his ear. "Me."

[Warning: Failure may result in emotional enslavement. Or worse—falling in love.]

"Let's make a deal," she purred.

Kai raised an eyebrow. "Demons don't deal. They cheat."

Lillithra smirked. "And gods manipulate. Let's not pretend you're in safer company with your little goddess harem."

She circled him slowly.

"You think they want you for you? No. You're a glitch. A weapon. A variable."

She stopped in front of him.

"I want you... because you don't fit."

Kai looked up. "That's not romantic. That's creepy."

"Is it?" Her eyes burned brighter. "You break rules. Rewrite fate. That excites me."

She offered her hand.

"Join me, Kai. Be my consort. Rule the Infernal Courts. Love... freely."

---

Kai blinked.

The System blinked.

A new message appeared:

---

[Choice Time!]

1. Accept her confession – Unlock Demon King Route

2. Reject her – Initiate Final Combat Trial

3. Call Yui for backup – Prepare for Chaos]

---

He sighed.

"...I pick option four."

Lillithra tilted her head. "There is no—"

Kai kicked upward, shattering the vines.

Glitch energy exploded.

Reality bent.

A storm of corrupted system code twisted around him as he activated [Override: Glitch Liberation Mode]

He stood, tattered uniform barely holding, and faced her. "I'm not yours. And I'm not theirs either. I'm me."

She blinked.

Then smiled.

"Even better."

She snapped.

The world ignited.

---

The Demon Queen transformed.

Wings spread. Crown burned. Her form towered over him, a goddess of lust and chaos incarnate.

Kai's glitch aura rose to meet it—binary lightning clashing with infernal fire.

Final Trial: Battle for the Soul

The ground crumbled as the two titans collided. Kai's punches distorted space. Lillithra's whispers cracked mountains.

But amid it all—his voice cut through.

"I'm not a prize. I'm not your pawn. I'm a person."

Lillithra hesitated.

And in that moment—

Yui arrived.

Sword blazing.

"MOVE!"

Kai dove. Yui clashed with Lillithra, divine energy versus demonic power.

Velmaria, Seraphina, even Nyxa joined the fray.

A battle for love, freedom—and Kai's freaking sanity.

---

Hours Later...

Smoke.

Ruins.

A crater where the academy used to be.

Kai sat in the rubble, half-conscious, hair singed.

Lillithra knelt across from him, exhausted, bleeding smoke.

She chuckled weakly. "You really... are a pain."

He nodded. "Takes one to know one."

She leaned in. "If you ever get tired of being the gods' puppet... call me."

She vanished.

Later that night, Kai sat with Yui under a tree.

She leaned against him. "You didn't kiss her."

"Almost did."

"I would've killed her."

He laughed. "Yeah. That's why I didn't."

Yui smiled, for once. "You're still an idiot."

He nodded. "But I'm your idiot."
