I awoke in the exact sa position I had fallen asleep. Gehenna’s heavy breathing on my chest showed she was still deeply asleep, so I let out a quiet yawn and let my eyes drift down the curves of her body. I noticed that the edges of my vision were pulsing a bright red color and there were several notifications informing I needed to log out to eat, move around, and do other things I couldn’t do while in-ga. I tried waving the notifications away, but our post-coitus nap had taken a lot more ti than the N-Vision would allow for to go without tending to my real body’s needs. I craned my neck upwards slightly and kissed Gehenna’s forehead. Her golden eyes snapped open at once and I felt her entire body start to heat up intensely… until her vision focused on , and I saw a trendous smile spread across her face. Her body heat returned to normal, and she let out a happy sigh as she shifted her face slightly to kiss my lips.
“Good morning, my beautiful blonde demoness. Did you sleep well?”
She nodded and kissed again before letting out an adorable yawn. Her blonde hair had beco a wild mane of untad waves, and she pushed several strands out of her face as she rested her head on my chest again.
“We slept far longer than I anticipated we would. While I did sleep better than I have for a very long ti, now I’m worried about you not taking care of your real body. It has been nearly 12 hours since I took you from your clan castle. Even with the ti dilation, it can’t be healthy for you to remain in here for so long.”
“Ti dilation? I know you’ve ntioned several tis that ti works differently in here than it does in my world, but what exactly does that an?”
“I can’t be certain since I’m not part of the world’s original programming and am a product of the world expanding itself, but since the arrival of the first Demonspawn and Angelspawn it seems that for every three minutes that pass in this world, only a minute has passed in yours. At least that’s what I’ve been led to believe. I’m sure your retainer would likely be able to give you an exact answer given his nature.”
“His nature? What do you an?”
“He is an intersection of the natural evolution of this world and the programming of yours. His base code is the sa as many of the AI that you have likely interacted with that appear as a glowing white or black orb. But he is also soone who is born completely of this world. If I had to guess at the reasons for him being this way… I would estimate that your powers of corruption combined the AI assistant with his original form to create what he is now.”
“How in every fuck do you know that?”
“While I would normally say as I have before, that there is little that happens in my realms that I do not know about, you know more about than any other. So you are entitled to the real answer. One of the effects of my [Souls of the Damned] allows to view details of any demonkin that I am receiving a stat boost from. That is how I know so much about your clan especially.”
A thought suddenly occurred to , and my eyes opened wide as I considered the implications of what I had just realized.
“Gehenna… do you gain more stat buffs every ti I create another demon?”
Her eyes glittered and she smiled again and nodded.
“Why do you think I was so flirtatious the first ti we t? You were the being responsible for making more powerful. When I saw the details about Lady Em–Elia, I an… When I saw the details about her and how she was created, there was little doubt in my mind that I needed to et you and learn more about you. I also knew with absolute certainty that you would win the tournant. I hadn’t anticipated your self-sacrifice, but your explanation for why you did it was one of the reasons I fell for you as hard as I did. In that mont, I knew that I wanted to feel soone love as deeply as you love her. I wanted to feel you love like that.”
I pulled Gehenna upwards slightly and kissed her passionately before pulling away and resting my head on the pillow. I let out a sigh as I considered what she had just said, and she seed to sense where my thoughts had drifted.
“I’m not saying I want you to love in the sa way you do her. I would never expect that from you, for many reasons. She is your true love, and bonded to you in a way that no other can be. She was gracious enough to share you with , and allow what we have to blossom into what it is becoming. And I would never want you to feel like I am even remotely on the sa level as she is when it cos to your love.”
I let out a slight scoff and shook my head.
“No… Gehenna. It’s not like that. There aren’t levels of my love. I love you in a way that is unique to you and no one else in existence, just like I love her in a way that is unique to her. …And just like I love Nialla in a way that is unique to her.”
I sighed slightly as I finally recognized the emotions I had regarding the sexy catgirl, and laughed softly through my nose at how long it had taken to co to terms with how I felt about her. All my actions towards her and the way I responded when she died all pointed to the obvious fact that I was in love with her… I just wrapped myself up in the details of everything so much that I couldn’t see it. Yes, she was a decade younger than I was, and that was normally not sothing I found attractive. But… she was Nialla. I don’t know… I can’t explain it. I’m not sure I felt the sa way about Noelle… but I had no doubts in that mont that I did love the crazy and spontaneous blue and white catgirl. My thoughts returned to the gorgeous woman on my chest and I let out a contented sigh as I looked into her glimring gold eyes.
“You often seem lost in your thoughts, Allie. Sotis it seems like you are completely engaged elsewhere and I have to pull your attention back into focus. Is that normal?”
“Gehenna… I am anything but normal. But yes. It is common for people like . I have ADHD. It’s… a lot to explain to soone with absolutely no fra of reference to go off of. Basically… my brain is wired differently than most peoples’ and I respond to different stimuli in different ways. My attention is automatically drawn towards whatever is the most stimulating at that exact mont, and sotis when a random thought pops into my brain I follow it until sothing else either becos more stimulating or sothing pulls my attention back to whatever I was doing prior. Not that you aren’t stimulating. Ugh. I’m not doing a good job at this. I’ve literally never had to describe this to soone who didn’t at least have so clue what it was.”
I thought for a mont about how to best explain in terms that my newest future demon wife could understand and then spent the next hour discussing the ins and outs of ADHD. We talked about hyperfocusing, choice paralysis, executive dysfunction, dopamine seeking behaviors, and everything else I could think of. Gehenna soaked up all the information like a sponge, and I loved just how interested in learning about it she was. She claid it was because she wanted to know everything there was to know about , and the fact that she loved more because of my neurodivergence made love her even more. By this point, however, my screen was blaring red at and I knew I wouldn’t be able to ignore it for more than a few more minutes. When I told Gehenna about it, she glared at angrily and imdiately opened a portal. She waved her hand and a simple black sundress appeared on her body, and she motioned for to get up and get dressed. I smirked at her as I moved off the bed, and opted to wear my typical clothing I wore underneath my armor. She surprised by taking by the hand and walking with through the portal.
When we suddenly arrived in the clan hall I saw several of my clan mbers had gathered when they saw the portal appear. They all looked shocked to see this beautiful blonde demon in a flowy dress hanging off my arm, and they began to pepper us with questions. Judas and Tesrif seed the most surprised by Gehenna’s appearance, and she insisted that they refrain from treating her like the empress. I introduced her to everyone and she eagerly bounded from person to person. As she looked back over at , her expression hardened and she told them all that introductions would have to wait, since she needed to make sure I made it to my bedroom safely and logged out. They all laughed at her “mothering ,” but I could tell they were excited to get to know her. Nialla especially seed to connect with her almost instantly, and she insisted on joining us to my bedroom.
“Allie, I promise I will still be here when you return. You need to take care of yourself. I’m sure your other demon wife and the rest of your clan can keep entertained. We will talk more when you get back. There is… still sothing we need to discuss. Go now, my love.”
I sighed through my nose and nodded at her.
“OK… Ok… I’m going. I love you Gehenna.”
"And I, you, Allie."
I hugged her tightly and kissed her several tis before pulling away. I motioned for the catgirl to co closer to and I hugged and kissed her just as enthusiastically. I moved my mouth close to her ear as I pulled up my character nu to log out.
“I love you, Nialla.”
Before my beautiful kitten could respond, I kissed her on the cheek and pressed the log out button.
