Alexis was finally free to enjoy his new student life after finishing classes, laying on his comfy king-size bed and looking around the elegant room.
"Huh... So, being a former prince has its perks?"
Alexis threw his body backwards, spreading himself out like a starfish. There were so many things to avoid. However, his body and mind were completely exhausted. Alice constantly approached him every break, Clyde displaying his enmity like his life depended on it. Even Miss. Grey started looking at him with strange lustful eyes...
"This world... It's really bothersome."
His final decision was to try out the summoning ritual. Summoning a powerful monster was the only way to fix his body's low attributes.
Alexis hopped off the bed, standing a few steps away, long silver hair flowing like a dance.
"How to do this... In the game, spells were point and click or word activated. Also, Summoner didn't exist right?"
"Yes!"
His room's temperature fluctuated, sunlight began dimming, replaced by moonlight, and his room filled with darkness. Alexis felt the summoning effect was awesome.
"Come forth, thine servant. Your master calls for thy eternal devotion," Alexis said.
Alexis felt dizzy as his room began to fill with a vortex of black smoke, howling when passing his ears, causing his excitement to build. His eyes closed in anticipation, his body sensing something being summoned.
"With mine blood, seal thy contract. Forever sealing our fates together." Alexis said with a deep voice.
His left arm rose, a blade of wind cutting the flesh on his palm. Warm red blood flowed onto the ground, forming a blood pentagram as a feminine figure began forming.
Alexis still closing his eyes, feeling strong dark mana flowing from her body.

Imra POV
Long ago, I was added to the hero's party despite being a demon. To be honest, I was extremely excited. The woman who raised me wasn't my birth mother, but a simple village lady who had been made incapable of birth when young.
I spent the first years of my life with her. I'm glad she was my mother. One day, whilst I was hunting for berries in the forest, bandits came to the village. They killed the men, forcing them to watch their wives played with them until death. By the time I returned, only the burning remains greeted me.
Soon after my demonic blood awakened, I was barely seventeen years old at that point, filled with nothing but the desire for revenge and desperate to wipe out the bandits' existence.
Although trying my best, succubus specialised in magical combat, swinging an iron sword recklessly with all my might. I killed a single bandit before being disarmed. Afterwards, I experienced unspeakable horrors, forced to become an adult woman, whilst wishing I could kill all of those bastards. Finally, they cut my throat, leaving my body to bleed out while hanging.
The next time I awoke, it was hundreds of years later. Now completely demon living within the realms of hell. Sometimes getting amateur summons from humans.
A noble offered me his soul, only needing to kill a certain commoner. His name was Clyde. Currently, clueless about who he was, but gaining a soul would allow me to travel the human world, and see the things my mother used to speak about.
When I engaged against their party, I was outmatched by a holy priestess of the light goddess who chained me down, however before she could smite me. Clyde spoke out and offered me a temporary contract.
Obviously, I accepted without a second thought!
I travelled with them for many months, often hearing about a corrupt, abandoned prince named Alexis, who always tried to force himself upon Alice during their time at some kind of training academy.
However, I discovered something strange: during the many nights that Clyde spent with the other party members, a strange man wearing a black mask, would leave supplies that were exactly what we required for the next journey we'd make. This happened almost four times before curiosity overtook me.
The night was a summer evening. It was the day before we'd fight our first demon noble. Rather than talk about tactics and plans, Clyde spent the night with the priestess Zera, leaving everything to Alice and me. As usual, the strange man infiltrated our camp, leaving several large bags of supplies, holy artefacts and safety items.
As he left the base, I flew behind him with my succubus form, easily able to mask my presence from a lower-levelled thief. To my surprise, the man entered a high-class inn, meeting with several women who seemed to be his wives. After he satisfied them completely, which I was completely not envious of!
His wives asked him about his actions, and why he keeps helping them despite knowing they always frame him and see him as a villain. Even now, his reply was so simple it shook me, reminding me of my mother who would say the same thing.
"I just love her," (Alexis)
"I just love you," (Mother)
From that point on, I followed Alexis often. He seemed to be much stronger than Clyde in the bedroom, leaving all his wives fulfilled before going about his own business. I noticed many plans that Alice used were actually written by him days before. The routes Mu planned were also made by Alexis.
My heart broke the day Clyde killed Alexis. Even as he lay bleeding out from the sword impaling his stomach, seeming more concerned about Alice. I knew he'd already left enough supplies to fight against the demon lord inside our current base before arriving. Alice and Mu also knew, only that idiot Clyde and Zera didn't realise.
Through constant troubles we finally subdued the demon lord, resting my tired body after the battle, thinking of only my mother and the beautiful Alexis suddenly feeling holy energy corroding my entire body. I turned towards Clyde and Zera, who merely smirked at my slowly dissipating form.
Normally, when a demon dies, they can return to hell to seek a contract and eventually return. However, without a contract binding the demon, being killed with holy magic would destroy them forever.
In the last moments of my life, I heard his voice.
"Come forth, thine servant. Your master calls upon your eternal devotion"
Alexis called me from beyond the grave, declaring my eternal devotion
I felt incredible warmth and rapture. Maybe next time I'll be one of his wives.
"With mine blood, seal thy contract. Forever sealing our fates together."
As the last moments of my consciousness faded, once again his voice rang as my life faded.

A beautiful woman appeared within Alexis' room, his eyes still closed as the dark smoke began dispersing. The woman let out a gasp, tears running down her cheeks. Imra seemed to believe this was too good for reality, pinching herself.
"A-Alexis?" The beautiful woman said.
Alexis, hearing this beautiful voice, wasn't too shocked as the game was made for males, so getting a beefy muscular demon would be extremely unlikely. Even the king of hell was a beautiful, buxom female. As his eyes slowly opened, greeted by the woman who'd remain by his side eternally.
"It is a pleasure to meet. My name is indeed Alexis Van Garland, trash of the empire!" Alexis said. Inside the game, it was a running gag that even a random villager A knew he was trash.
"NO! You could never be trash!?"
Her body almost teleporting in front of him, hugging Alexis tightly. Her beautiful purple hair swayed from her rapid movement falling across her shoulders, hiding her face from his vision, as her body trembled.
Alexis looked down, seeing her shining purple hair, and exotic tanned skin. Imra wore barely any clothes, with tiny bat-like wings and tail behind her flapping gently. Unable to control himself, his hand stroked through her hair, softer than silk, almost addictive.
Imra looked up slowly with her glittering star-like eyes and perfect face, the action almost killing the virgin Alexis as her head rubbed against his hand. She felt his reaction towards her body, bringing out a devilish smile.
"Imra, your eternal servant both in battle and bed your loyal succubus."
She acted more seductive during her words, wrapping around his body like an ant around candy. Before feeling a strange reaction, his body froze like an ice sculpture, no longer reacting to her womanly aspects.
"Did I do something wrong? Does he also remember dying because of us?" Imra thought.

"Oh man, it's really the protagonist's off-tank... What Is happening here!?" Alexis thought.
Suddenly he seemed to have realised something he came to what seemed to be a crazy idea. "Are they the iterations who weren't chosen, in the routes where Clyde chose others?"
The reason for this thought was because the pair had classes that were only available after seeing the bad endings where Clyde rejected their routes, or never pursued them.
The Ice Empress was a class Alice gained when Clyde pursued other women, ignoring her. She would sacrifice herself to save a city from a demon invasion, sacrificing herself to become worshipped as the Ice Empress. You needed to play New Game+ (A mode where you start the game freshly with previous items, added features and bonuses.)
The Succubus Brawler was a class that came from the ending where Clyde didn't interact with her Imra secretly fell in love with Alexis, before being killed by Zera after completing the game, most of the time because of her back story losing her purity some people not wanting second-hand goods caused this ending to be popular, however, most of the forums argued she had completely regenerated a new body and was clearly a virgin again.
"If my thoughts are correct... Shall I test it out?" Alexis thought, taking a gamble.
"So... In the end, I couldn't save you? Zera still killed you after the demon lord?"
Imra, as if hit by a hammer, let go of his body momentarily, before violently reacting, grabbing his body harder than before as tears of sorrow began pouring from her eyes, whilst she wailed his name over and over.
Alexis felt this was in poor taste, deciding to follow through, his hand stroking along her back, comforting her.
"It's okay. It's all in the past. Things are different now. I'm no longer just a weak thief..."
"Look? I summoned you to my side forever. Did you think stalking me all those nights went unnoticed?" Alexis said, trying to comfort her.
In all honesty, the only route he'd completed was Imra's accidentally, not realising deciding against sleeping with her and wanting to know her better, would lead to her bad end the writers were probably psychopaths making Clyde become a complete asshole once he'd said no even once.
Imra's tears stained his shirt, now completely soaked. However, Imra realised his words were true. Alexis was much younger visibly. Her level had been completely reset.
"Wait, he's not a thief!? How did he summon me? Ah... Who really cares" Imra thought.
Her body straightened, looking into his emerald eyes, her golden demon eyes with cat-like slits forcing him to focus on her, narrowing her eyes happily.
"So this is the fate which mother spoke of?"
