Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 860

Chapter 860: Submission

[As Victor, he must now decide the fate of the defeated.]

The golden script waited for its answer, and beneath it, the defeated waited with its belly in the air.

Kaiden stood at the foot of the creature that had eaten twenty dungeons and challenged a planet, and six dimmed eyes tracked him upside down with the anxious focus of a dog that had just knocked over something expensive.

One folded foreleg, a limb the size of a skyscraper, gave a small hopeful paddle against the colorless sky.

’...Really?’

Around him, the army that had been pouring everything it owned into this creature five minutes ago stood with weapons half lowered, and the chat was generating dog memes at a pace no moderation team on the planet could have contained.

- Kaiden’s Wife (mod): Now it knows how the rest of us feel...

’What happens if I spare it?’ He aimed the question inward, to the one place only he could hear, and the Demonic Pornstar System answered in the private register.

[A defeated Dungeon Master, if spared, is bound in eternal service to the Victor.]

A clean rule, simple and absolute, and the window hadn’t finished settling before the next one arrived to complicate it.

[Note: the Claimant possesses no language, no concept of oath, and no framework for contract.]

[The duel’s standard servitude binding cannot attach. Theorizing the governing system’s probable workaround...]

[Closest precedent on record: the host’s own [Monster Girl Subjugator] skill.]

Kaiden read the skill name twice, and his memory, unhelpful as ever, served up exactly how that skill consummated its bindings.

Bastet, conquered across the warm stone of her own desert domain, a queen moaned into willing worship.

Calypso, who had skipped the conquering entirely, the Infernal Matriarch kneeling of her own free will and still getting fucked into such devoted, purring submission that she’d crawled into his lap to stay.

He lifted his gaze.

The belly in front of him was a four-kilometer cliff of stone carapace, and the fissure-mouth above it could have swallowed a cathedral without chewing.

’No.’

[...Clarification: carnal consummation is a binding vector, not a requirement.]

[Furthermore: the Claimant has already provided its signature.]

Kaiden looked from the window to the upturned mountain range, and understanding landed with Calypso’s words.

Monsters don’t fake that pose. Nobody was asking him to consummate anything, because in the only language this creature had ever spoken, it already had.

The belly was the contract.

The duel’s golden script unfolded across the plain a heartbeat later and proved the theory right.

[Adapted binding format: Submission Posture. Signature: received.]

[Awaiting the Victor’s decision.]

He let his gaze rest on the six cracked, banked-coal eyes clinging to his face from above.

This thing had chosen him on a mountain ridge at the start of everything, because the oldest instinct in its body had wanted an opponent worth consuming.

Kaiden knew that instinct from the inside. He’d built his whole career on it.

One reservation held his tongue for a final moment, and it was considerably less poetic.

’What do I miss out on by sparing it?’

[Clarification: a defeated Dungeon Master forfeits their dungeon in its entirety, spared or slain. Only the sentence differs. The forfeiture does not.]

That should have settled it, except the creature looming over him had never built a dungeon it could forfeit, because it had eaten twenty and carried them in its own flesh.

What forfeiture looked like when the master was the dungeon, not even the system’s notes seemed able to specify.

’Might as well find out.’ If the rules held, mercy cost him nothing the kill would have paid. ’Best case, I walk away with the loot and an OP guard hound on top.’

"I spare it." The Victor’s voice carried across the plain, to his army, his women, and a hundred million viewers.

[The Victor has chosen mercy.]

[Sentence: the Claimant is hereby stripped of its Dungeon Master authority.]

[Initiating Dungeon Integration.]

The creature that had owned twenty dungeons was about to pour every one of them into his.
