"So you made it here. Finally. You're a strange young man to make so many things happen so quickly after only having been here for such a limited time."
"Where am I?"
The void around me left me with no senses. The voice I was hearing wasn't even with my ears, but my mind.
"This is a primordial space made for us to speak. Your existence isn't something good that'll be allowed for long, yet I wish to be the force backing you."
"Why would you do this?"
"I'm bored. And I respect your values and conviction. Someone so powerful, with the capability to grow, and yet you're still willing to help the race that looks down on you the most. Even if it was your prior race, you are strongly willing to assist any and all that do not wish you harm."
"But why speak to me now?"
"Two things. First off, I haven't been able to establish a connection until now. Secondly, that previous action. I saw everything. Even after she revealed who she was, even after your rage took hold, you protected those girls and suffered an amazing injury that should have killed you."
The carriage flipping popped into my head. Every last detail, including myself jumping forward to protect the succubus, etched into my memory.
"The Wind Spirit got you to safety. Your attackers are all dead. She's... wonderfully protective. Very fearsome."
"And the succubus?"
"Taken. Her prince returned for her once you were safe. I do recommend retrieving her. Having the Demon Goddess of Immolation on your side wouldn't be a hindrance. They also have something they wish to tell you. About your death."
I fell silent, the words bringing me complex emotions.
"For now, I wish to gift you a simple boon."
What I guess became my eyes focused on a single point. A beautiful and alluring face began to form within the murky blackness, followed by a body sculpted by the gods itself.
Her eyes stared into me, the hollow blackness filling with a bright amethystine color. Thin, pale lips smiled at me as she spoke once more.
"I am the only crossbreed of the Demon Gods, and the Divine Gods. The Primordial Goddess of the Heart, Love, Lust and Desire. Both sides of a beautiful and fun coin. I'll give you this..."
Her hand lifted. A soft glowing light began to condense around me.
"...Your blood and abilities are forever enhanced. Those girls, you can also awaken their true selves while you're becoming the Dark King. When you're close to that pinnacle, come find me again. I'll become yours as well. as long as you keep me loving and desiring that incredible heart of yours."
Her last words and a simple kiss, my eyes shut tight.
