The milk was expired by three years.
Yet, Hiroshi Kazuto — 17 years old, average student, caffeine addict, and forever single — stubbornly insisted on having breakfast with it. After all, it was just another day. Rain outside, pajamas on, and a foggy mind.
> "Ugh, what is that smell...?"
He opened the fridge with the resignation of someone who'd lost all hope in life. Then, the impossible happened.
A violet light enveloped him, and a mysterious force sucked him inside the fridge with enough power to send pickles and his dignity flying.

When he opened his eyes again, Hiroshi found himself lying in a field of glowing purple flowers under two twin moons. The air smelled sweet, the sky was oddly clear, and... crows with three eyes flew overhead.
> "…Either I'm dead, or this milk was way past its expiration date."
Standing before him like a living mirage was a girl.
Long black hair down to her knees, curved obsidian horns, skin pale as moonlight, and… a dress that called "scanty" an insult to the imagination. A mix between battle lingerie and a succubus cosplay from an anime convention.
She stared at him, eyes wide crimson.
> "B-Big Brother?!"
Hiroshi blinked.
> "…Huh?"
> "Big Brother!! You're back!!"
In an instant, the demoness jumped on him with a muffled cry of joy, pressing her chest against his. Her arms squeezed him as if she wanted to merge into one being.
> "I thought you died in the Celestial War! But now that you're here… we can finally conquer the human world together, like we promised as kids!"
Still stunned, Hiroshi realized two things:
1. He was alive.
2. He had a sister. A demonic, sexy, completely insane sister.

That day, Hiroshi Kazuto officially became Raiken, the ancient lost brother of the Demon Queen, reincarnated into the magical world of Nemeria.
According to local legends, Raiken was an immortal demigod who vanished millennia ago during the Celestial War. No one knew he was actually in Tokyo, fighting the Wi-Fi signal in the bathroom.
Lilith, the Demon Queen and his supposed little sister, wasted no time. She proudly took him to her floating castle.
A castle full of succubus maids dressed in gothic maid outfits, demon generals with warrior spirits, and… a matrimonial bedroom already prepared for him.
With plushies.
Of himself.
> "Alright, Big Brother! From today you're the Supreme Commander of the Infernal Army! Also, you'll be sleeping with me every night! Just like when we were kids!"
> "Can I… at least finish breakfast first?"
> "Of course! I had fresh milk prepared for you… milked from a three-headed cow."
Certo! Ecco la continuazione del Capitolo 1 in stile light novel, sempre in inglese, mantenendo il tono ecchi-harem e ironico:

Lilith's grip was relentless. Hiroshi could barely breathe under her embrace, yet he couldn't deny the warmth that spread through his chest—a mix of confusion, disbelief, and something vaguely... Exciting??
> "Big brother, you have no idea how long I've waited for this moment!" Lilith whispered, her voice trembling with a strange mixture of joy and desperation. "When you disappeared, the Infernal Realms lost their greatest hope... But now, with you back, we can reclaim everything!"
Hiroshi gulped, blinking at the absurdity of it all. Him? A legendary warrior? The big brother of the Demon Queen? He barely managed to get out of bed on weekdays.
Before he could protest, a door behind Lilith creaked open, revealing two figures that looked like they stepped straight out of a fantasy calendar: twin succubus maids, identical down to the slightest detail. One flicked her tail playfully, the other adjusted her maid headband with a sly smile.
> "My apologies, Your Majesty, but the Commander has been waiting for his royal welcome ceremony," said one in a voice dripping with honey and danger.
Lilith nodded, releasing Hiroshi reluctantly.
> "Right, Big Brother. You have an army to command, duties to fulfill, and… um, well, other responsibilities," she added, biting her lip and casting a sideways glance that made Hiroshi's cheeks heat up.
He wanted to ask what "other responsibilities" meant, but a sudden rumbling interrupted the moment. The floor shook slightly, and the castle's gargoyle statues seemed to glance at each other knowingly.
> "Is that... the army?" Hiroshi asked nervously.
Lilith's eyes sparkled with fierce pride.
> "Yes! The Demon Legion awaits its Commander. But first..." She clapped her hands, and the twins bowed before stepping forward.
> "Allow us to prepare you, Commander. You've been through a lot, after all."
Before Hiroshi could say "Wait, what?", the succubus twins grabbed his arms and dragged him towards a lavish bathhouse adorned with glowing runes and steaming pools.
> "This is... the Demon Hot Springs," one explained with a wink. "Guaranteed to relax even the most battle-hardened warriors. And, of course, perfect for bonding."
Hiroshi's face flushed as the twins began helping him out of his clothes, their touches light but deliberate.
> "B-But I'm not exactly used to this... harem stuff," he stammered.
> "Don't worry, Commander. We'll take good care of you," the other said with a sultry smile.
As Hiroshi sank into the warm, fragrant waters, surrounded by the intoxicating scent of demon blossoms and the playful teasing of his new companions, he realized one thing with shocking clarity:
This was going to be the weirdest, most dangerous, and yet most thrilling chapter of his life.
And it had only just begun.
