Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 907

Chapter 907: A Guild Master’s Dilemmas.

The convoy rolled through the compound gates and Kaiden noticed the difference before the van had fully stopped.

The skeletal walls he’d left that morning had grown.

The steel framework that had been bare ribbing at dawn now carried concrete panels along two-thirds of the ground floor, still rough at the seams, bolts exposed, but solid. Finishing the whole thing in a day was beyond even their overpowered construction workers, but they were visibly trying.

Scaffolding bristled from every surface. Three cranes were running simultaneously where one had stood idle yesterday, and the hum of welding torches and the crack of nail guns layered over each other in a rhythm that said every crew on this site was moving at once.

There were even more workers present than yesterday. Dozens he didn’t recognize, hauling prefab wall sections that glowed faintly with reinforcement wards, the telltale shimmer of awakened craftsmanship baked into the material itself. Non-awakened crews handled the conventional construction alongside them, operating heavy equipment, pouring foundations, running electrical conduit through exposed corridors.

It was already clear yesterday, but today, there could be zero doubt about it:

Vespera hired an army.

"I’ll be damned..." Calypso whistled, impressed, pressing her face to the tinted glass. "We left this morning. How is it this different already?"

"Mother?" Aria asked, blinking at Vespera.

"Brought more contractors."

"Good thinking, Shadow Mommy~" Nyx purred, also gawking through her windows. "But why? I thought we had more than enough already."

"There was room for more," Vespera replied from the passenger seat. "They’ll be working in shifts from today on. The construction will not stop until it’s finished."

"Hell yeah," Luna grinned. "Do we have an estimated time until completion?"

"Two days, then some interior work."

"That’s fuc- I mean that’s very cool," Luna nodded excitedly.

The van reached the interior soon after.

Kaiden stepped out, and Pebble found him within four seconds.

The Guardian had been napping right in front of the dungeon’s gate, dutifully guarding his master’s home, six burning eyes half-lidded, tail curled around a stack of steel beams he’d apparently claimed as a pillow.

The moment Kaiden’s boots hit gravel, those eyes snapped wide and the massive armored body lurched upright. Far too many tons of overgrown puppy came thundering across the compound at a speed that sent workers diving behind equipment.

"Pebble. Sit."

Pebble sat. The impact cracked the freshly poured walkway beneath him, and his tail immediately began wagging hard enough to scatter loose gravel in a ten-meter arc behind his hindquarters.

"Did he eat a forklift while we were gone?" Calypso asked, hopping out of the van with her tail swaying. She eyed the Guardian’s belly. "He looks rounder."

"The workers have been feeding him," Luna said, pulling out her phone to check the monitoring feed she’d set up. "I can see it on the cam. Someone gave him an entire crate of jerky."

Behind them, the rest of the Sinners piled out of the vehicles with brimming energy.

They’d spent the car ride reading messages and they didn’t even manage to get through a fraction of them. A long day was ahead of the gang, one where they would finally try their hand at real guild management.

They were all eagerly awaiting the chance to sit down properly and get to work.

"Kai." Aria tugged his sleeve, silver hair catching the light as she looked up at him with bright, eager eyes. "Let’s start."

...

The dungeon gate waited at the center of the compound, its mana signature pulsing in the slow rhythm Kaiden had long stopped noticing.

Vespera had already begun the building of a reinforced sublevel around it, reinforced concrete and rune-laced steel encasing the gate on all sides, accessible only through a single guarded corridor from the main building.

The headquarters was going up on top of it, burying the gate beneath the compound’s foundation where no stray attack or curious outsider could reach it without going through Eclipse first.

Inside the dungeon was home. Comfortable, safe, fully stocked.

But it was also a separate dimension with zero cellular connectivity.

"There’s no signal inside, so..." Nyx pondered.

"We can just use a tent for the time being," Kaiden shrugged.

"That’s what the association does as well," Alexandra nodded along, finding no shame in the proposal.

They did just what Kaiden had said, choosing a patch of shade beside the main building’s ground floor, where freshly bolted concrete panels met the open scaffolding of the east wing.

Two folding tables appeared from the construction crew’s supply tent. Chairs followed, borrowed from break rooms and storage containers. Luna found an extension cord long enough to reach the nearest generator, and within ten minutes, Eclipse’s first official command center consisted of two plastic tables, eight chairs, a power strip, and a tent.
