Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755: Unexpected Call

The group chat had been on fire since 6 AM.

Emilia saw it first because Emilia always saw it first. Unable to get a wink of sleep in the wake of the recent, universe-shattering news, she’d been watering her succulents by the window when her phone lit up, and two minutes later the succulents were on their own because the Global Awakened News notification was more important than any plant had ever been or ever would be.

ECLIPSE: KAIDEN GREY REGISTERS NEW GUILD WITH VESPERA ASHBORN AS REGENT

She called the others.

Sarah picked up mid-chew. Nutella jar open, spoon in hand, because Sarah had also seen the notification and her body had responded before her brain caught up.

Leia picked up from bed. Hair perfect, pajamas barely qualifying as clothing, phone held above her face at an angle that would’ve gotten ten thousand likes if she’d posted it.

They’d been talking for over an hour. The Eclipse announcement. The forum reactions. MyExLeftMeNowITrackGuilds hitting eight hundred thousand likes and probably ascending to a higher plane of existence. The fact that "Eclipsing Dawn" was trending as its own hashtag even though it wasn’t the actual name. Nova Circuit dissolving. Runewoven restructured. Dozens of New Dawn staff defecting overnight.

It was, by any reasonable measure, the most eventful few hours in the history of their fandom, and all three of them were handling it with the grace and composure of women who had been professionally losing their minds over Kaiden Grey for months straight.

"I can’t breathe," Leia announced for the fourth time. "My lungs have stopped working. ’Eclipsing Dawn’ is way too good of a ’fuck you, Father,’ for me to shut up."

"You’ve been saying that for forty minutes and you’re still yapping," Sarah noted.

"Yeah. And I don’t think I’m stopping anytime soon."

"..."

Emilia was curled up on her couch, it propped against a cushion, her floral sundress tucked around her knees. She had her awakened interface open as she was monitoring the subscriber count on Kaiden’s platform page, which had been climbing even faster than before since the announcement dropped.

"A hundred thousand new followers in the last hour," she said quietly. "And the stream hasn’t even started yet."

"It’s going to be insane," Sarah said. "First stream as Eclipse. Everyone is going to tune in. Everyone."

"I already blocked fourteen accounts that were spamming anti-Ashborn conspiracy stuff in the pre-chat," Emilia added. "They’re not even creative about it."

"Good." Leia stretched on her bed. "Squash them."

Then the incoming call notification chimed over the group chat.

All three of them saw it at the same time. Unknown number, video call, routed through the Sinners’ internal contact system. Which meant...

"Oh my god," Leia sat up. "Is it Kai?"

"It’s really from their end," Emilia confirmed, checking the routing tag. Her eyes went wide. "Could be one of the girls, though. Maybe Calypso is messing with the ’human tech’ again."

"Pick up pick up pick up pick up-"

Sarah tapped accept.

Two identical faces filled the screen.

Split-dye hair, red on one side and blue on the other, mirrored between them. Matching grins. Mismatched contact lenses, also mirrored. They looked like a magazine editorial about twins that had gotten lost and ended up in a guild hall corridor.

"Good morning!" the one on the left said brightly.

"Who the hell are you two rainbow wannabes?" Leia hissed with narrowed eyes, clearly beyond disappointed that she didn’t get a good morning call from Kaiden.

The twins grinned wider.

"Kira," said the left one.

"Rika," said the right one.

"Your new coworkers," they said together.

A beat of silence.

"Huh?" Sarah tilted her head.

"We just got hired last night." Kira waved at the camera with her fingers. "Media personnel for Valhalla’s Sinners. We wanted to introduce ourselves to the rest of the team since, you know, we’ll be working together from now on."
