The throne room was never meant to be quiet.
Not in this world.
Here, silence wasn't peace — it was power preparing to move.
Kaalkrit sat once more upon the mountain of skulls, his massive arms resting on molten obsidian armrests, glowing faintly with life and death woven into runes. Around him, the room had been reshaped. Gone were the golden banners of the previous emperor. Gone were the fire-forged sculptures of the last dynasty.
He had destroyed all symbols of past dominion.
Only one symbol remained now — the sigil of his new master, a faint yet growing brand etched high into the stone wall behind his throne:

It pulsed with each breath of the sovereign it represented.
And every demon in the room bowed to it.

The elite guard stood in a ring of stillness — twenty of the strongest, each a former warlord. Bound now by pact, silence, and awe.
At the foot of the throne, Ratri stood bare-skinned, her body the embodiment of lust sculpted into terrifying elegance.
She wasn't kneeling.
She never knelt.
But she stayed lower than Kaalkrit, head turned sideways like a cat who refused to look directly at its tamer.
"Your connection grows stronger," she murmured. Her voice was a liquid whisper, laced with longing and venom. "Every hour, I feel his pull… through you."
Kaalkrit didn't speak.
His golden eyes burned brighter now — no longer just flames, but controlled solar fury.
"I watched you kill the last emperor with one hand," she said. "I saw you destroy the Great Horned Colossus with your breath."
She rose slowly, her breasts brushing his knee.
"But nothing makes you tremble like his name."
His hand shot out — fingers around her throat, not squeezing, not hurting, just reminding.
"I told you," he rumbled, voice like mountains cracking. "You are not the reason I rise."
Ratri's breath caught.
But she didn't resist.
She moaned.
"Then let me be the reason you burn."

Kaalkrit released her, and she collapsed to her knees, panting, thighs pressed together in desperate control.
All around them, none of the watching demons dared speak.
Most couldn't even look up.
Kaalkrit stood.
The throne groaned as he rose, and the walls trembled. He towered over them all, a living furnace of raw will and unbreakable muscle. Every motion radiated masculinity so absolute, it twisted the air around him. When he looked at you — it was like gravity stared back.
He stepped down the obsidian steps, his bare feet scorching the floor with every step.
Behind him, Ratri crawled — her pride shattered, her desire monstrous.
"You are no longer this world's king," she whispered. "You are his hand."
"Not just a hand," Kaalkrit growled.
He raised both fists, and the sky split.

That night, fire rained from the skies.
Kaalkrit walked through the Flame Canyon alone, facing the Wyrm Tribes of the east. Their dragon-blooded warriors came at him in waves — clawed, horned, roaring.
He killed the first hundred with his fists.
The next hundred with their own bones.
The final five hundred with his voice alone.
---
Ratri watched from a peak, trembling, unable to look away.
Each time Kaalkrit crushed an enemy, her desire for him sharpened. But it wasn't just lust.
It was hunger.
Obsession.
Devotion.
She wasn't just a succubus anymore.
She was his.
And through him — she was becoming Rudra's.
---
Later, Kaalkrit returned to the throne room — soaked in blood, cracked bones knotted into his long dreadlocks like trophies.
Ratri lay draped naked across the black steps, waiting.
He didn't take her.
He never would.
Not unless Rudra ordered it.
But when he passed her, she whispered with trembling lips, "Let me… let me carry his child."
He paused.
Turned.
"You don't even know his face."
"I don't need to," she said, eyes wide, lips parting. "He owns me. I want to feel him inside me. Through you… or with his own hands."
Kaalkrit didn't reply.
But in that moment, Ratri's avatar signature deepened.

Far away, Rudra stirred in his sleep, a burning heat twisting through his spine.
He dreamt of a woman's voice calling him master… her thighs parting in worship… and a throne rising from fire.
