Chapter 0: Prologue
A complete life reversal. Who could possibly hate those sweet words?
Wealth and power are things you can never have too much of, and having every beautiful woman you desire all to yourself is the ultimate luxury.
However, the opportunity to defy the life you were born into doesn't come easily to just anyone. If a stranger tries to tempt you with promises of easy money or beautiful women, it’s a scam a hundred times out of a hundred.
Yet, there are moments when anyone can be brought to their knees by a failure too heavy to bear. In that moment when everything you’ve built collapses, a demon’s voice rings out with exquisite timing.
"How about it? My proposal? I think you’ll find it quite to your liking."
No matter how absurd it might sound, could anyone resist being swayed by the only person who claims to believe in them? Especially when those words come from someone you met by fate at the end of a life filled with a loveless family, hollow friendships, and a tragic heartbreak.
"Good. That is a very satisfying answer."
I didn’t actually give a verbal answer. My crotch had simply swelled of its own accord just by looking at her, but I didn't interrupt. I fully intended to accept her offer.
As I nodded, she gave me a smile so captivating I could have fallen for her instantly. She traced a line in the air, creating a three-dimensional shape that opened into a gap wide enough for a person to pass through.
Standing before that rift, she beckoned me with a look that swept away every lingering regret I had left. Possessed, I reached out and followed her.
"My name is Lena. I am the succubus who will make you a king."
