"So…I'm a Demon Lord?"

"You're a Demon Lord." A voice parroted, and I tilted my head to look up at the person whose lap I was sitting on.

[Image]

Breathtakingly beautiful is an apt description for her. White hair and red eyes, along with mammaries that made for wonderful pillows. Let's not forget those legs covered in brown stockings that might be awakening me to a new fetish.

"Do you like what you see, Husband~?" Emotions that weren't my own hit me, but I was focused on something else.

What? "Husband?"

With a finger on her chin she gave me a smile, "Well, I'm the Dungeon Core and you're the Dungeon Master. If I'm destroyed, I'll recover as long as you are alive, and if you die, you'll revive as long as I—the core—am fine.

What was the saying? Till death do us apart, right?"

The context is wrong…but it makes sense in its own way,

and I can't say I'm not liking the situation, so I smile back,

"Sure, till death do us part." The beaming smile and rush of positive emotions I received in return was well worth it.

Focusing back on my status, I look at my True Name that was most definitely not mine. I don't know whether I should laugh at the utter contradiction it has with my name or the coincidence of just having 'Luci' in my name made me the Devil.

And if the horns and tail along with the outfit I'm currently wearing is anything to go by, my current appearance should be that of Satan from The God of High School.

"Would have been nice if I was given his power set too." I grumbled slightly, glancing at the 'H' on my stats, my Mana and Luck being the only saving grace.

"It's fine dear~ Just because you can't toss a planet now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future."

"Haku, I believe there's a misunderstanding, also, you know about God of High School?" That is interesting.

"…I have a copy of your memories." And that was unexpected, and slightly unnerving…something she seemed to sense, as I was hit by a wave of emotions; Worry and Fear being the main one's.

"Don't worry about something that isn't your fault," I placed my hand on hers, "And it isn't all that bad, it makes us closer, don't you think? After all, you knowing my fetishes makes everything all the more interesting." I grinned sending her waves of amusement, much to her happiness, embarrassment, relief, and love?

I actually feel flattered, after all, she's aware of my flaws just from seeing my memories, and she still accepted me? That's perfect wifey material—

My position suddenly shifted, and before I could even comprehend what was happening, something soft pressed against my lips, before it vanished as quickly as it came.

I glanced at Haku's red face, smiling at her cute expression which turned even redder for some reas-oh, I'm broadcasting my emotions again, aren't I?

"You are." Even her pout-

"Ouch, okay, I'll stop." I chuckled as she pinched me, pouting even harder.

"Seriously though, do you have any idea where we are Haku?" My question immediately made her serious, and I continued, "One moment I remember going to sleep, and the next I woke up on this heaven throne known as Haku's lap."

"Be serious," At least try hide your smile when you say that woman, "And the map says we're at the Abandoned World, a fitting name given the state of the castle."

I couldn't help but nod in agreement as I looked at the rays peaking through the room. "I'm going to go check the place out from sky, you want to come with?" I asked, getting off of her lap, only to get pulled back onto it.

I looked at her in confusion, "Is something wrong, Haku?"

"Look at this, Luci," I just raised an eyebrow at the nickname, and stared at the new panel before us.

"This thing really wants me to be a Demon Lord, doesn't it?" My lips twitch as I stare at the 'chad' in the Third Phase.

"It's fine dear, you will be my Demon Lord." I could feel the amused smile on Haku's face, but I paid it no mind and bought the skills I could.

"That should assure you of any worries you previously had, no?" I hopped off her lap, turning to her with a smile.

"Mm. Come back quickly."

I nodded, walking to the eroded door of the throne room.
