Imagination Incarnate (Custom Made Demon King remix)

Ashan Arc

Akros dropped Uriel and Hilda along with his jaw as he stared at the scene before him.

Lyra was the only one awake, as the others were all asleep. Neiro was missing, but Akros could sense her outside keeping watch. The busty fallen angel turned around, her four large wings swaying and her breasts bouncing freely. She, along with the other demon women in the cavern, were nude!

"What the fuck?" Akros quickly covered his helmet's eye slot with his hands. He had seen each of them nude before, but it was too sudden to see all of them naked at once. "Why are all of you naked?"

"Akros?!" Lyra cried in surprise, walking up to him. She stared at him, then at the fallen angels beside him who were petrified. "Yup, it's you. Why do you keep recruiting more women! Are you trying to become a harem king?"

"Well, it's complicated..." Akros sighed into his hands. "I'm actually the son of Lilith and Asmodeus. You know who they are, I presume?"

"Wait, WHAT?!" Lyra's shriek woke the others, who scrambled to their feet and grabbed their weapons. As Akros removed his hands from his helmet, he could see their black boxers and sport bras on the floor near them, in perfect condition still.

"Yes. Now tell me, why are all of you naked?" Akros asked again, storing his armor in his inventory. Lyra gasped upon seeing his half-naked body. "I know, I know. I'll explain later."

"Nuh uh, buster! You'll explain now!" Lyra argued, marching up to him. She must've reached the dominion level by herself in the time he was gone, because she was almost 7 feet tall like Hilda and Uriel. Her head was only at his waist, but she glared up at him fiercely. "What did you do to yourself? Have you promoted?"

"Yes."

"Wait, you've already reached high-rank?" Ulvone, the only one without a weapon, asked in alarm. "How?!"

"I was gone for a long time, no? I've been busy. Now for the last time, why are you nude?!" Akros barked in annoyance. He didn't want to tell them all the story of his promotion individually, so he planned to inform them on the way down to the lower Abyss. However, with Lyra's stubborn personality, that may prove harder than he thought.

"Master, we realized that other demons look at us oddly for our clothing, so we went nude to blend in," Enyo peeped, slowly walking up to him with the others. They were all drooling over his body, absorbing every detail. "It's been a year, master. Can we leave this cave now?"

"Yes. All of you seem a little stronger, I take it you've been consuming souls of other demons?" Akros asked, looking around the group. They nodded, and Lyra spoke up with a prideful smirk.

"Not only that, but with my intellect I've figured out how to increase my own strength! I can also..." Lyra beckoned for him to lean closer, so he knelt. She whispered into his ear: "I can create things out of souls too thanks to my knowledge of how the system works. It has a logical method of doing everything, and because I understand it, I can replicate its effects. I've recreated it so that I also have a system."

"What?" Akros gasped as he stood, then looked at her with pride. "Well done, Ly-Ly! Very well done!"

"H-hey! Don't call me that!" Lyra huffed, making the others laugh. Even Hilda and Uriel smiled.

"Now, enough drama. Can one of you bring Neiro in while I brand Hilda?"

"On it!" Okami said, leaping out of the cavern skylight. Akros placed a finger to Hilda's collar and placed a Shadow Brand on her, marking her as his. She smiled happily, feeling closer to her master and lover.

"Thanks, master," Hilda said as he retracted his hand.

"One day, the Shadow Brand I plant on all of you will be a symbol. I shall gather more powerful fighters or those with great potential power, to eventually create a legion of warrior women! I'm not a pervert, but in case something goes wrong, I can always use charm magic. I can't charm males, so... yeah," Akros scratched his nape awkwardly, seeing that his little proclamation became lame. "Uh, unless they're embarrassing to bear-"
