for Advance Chapter

The hall was covered in a massive red carpet with gold trim. The walls were lined with portraits of past Demon Lords, with the founder of the Iblis line in the center. Glowing mana crystals lined the walls, their intensity and color controlled by magic.

The Skeletal Duke was already waiting in the center of the hall, studying some of the gadgets I had invented. Pale-blue flames flickered in his hollow eye sockets, showing his curiosity. Seeing me, he rose slowly, placed a skeletal hand over his ribs, and bowed.

"Lord Demon Lord."

I gestured for him to sit and leaned back on a sofa, crossing my legs. I took a sip of tea from a maid and asked, "Speak. What is it?"

"My Lord, the human world is restless. They seem to be preparing a major offensive on the border of 'The Abyss.'"

"What power do humans have to attack the Demon Realm? With what? A few old bones in the Holy Light Church who are still stuck at the 7th-tier Mage level?" I sneered.

I wasn't bragging. My generals were all equivalent to 6th-tier Mages, and the four Dukes—including the Skeletal Duke—were 7th-tier. As for me, though I wasn't even twenty, I was at the peak of the 7th-tier.

As for the humans who constantly tried to attack the Demon Realm, I couldn't be bothered. I let my subordinates handle them, and they were always wiped out. These humans... don't they understand productivity? Can't they develop their towns? All they do is shout about attacking the Demon Realm or conquering the Abyss.

"Also, a new Hero has appeared," the Duke continued.

"Just send an assassin to kill him," I said dismissively.

It was actually funny. Every so often, a so-called "Hero" appears among the humans, rumored to be a gifted messenger sent by God to destroy the Demon Lord. Their talent is usually good, but even a genius needs time to grow. In the past, the moment I heard news of a Hero, I sent subordinates to nip them in the bud. I wasn't going to send weaklings to help him "level up." That kind of cliché shonen manga plot doesn't happen here.

I've probably killed six... or seven? I forget. An underdeveloped Hero is just an ant to me.

But wait. In the isekai novels I read in my past life, Heroes always made friends on their journey, right? And usually, that included pure, beautiful girls who became part of the Hero's harem.

Hmm... beautiful girls... harem?

An interesting idea popped into my head.

"Wait, Duke. Don't send an assassin this time. I'm going to handle this personally."

The soul-fire in his eyes flickered with surprise. "Lord Demon Lord, it's just one Hero. You don't need to trouble yourself."

"Huhu... it's not as simple as killing him. Since the humans keep bothering us, we need to retaliate. The Hero is their hope, right? I want to destroy his heart and cast him into the infinite abyss..."

The Skeletal Duke stood up excitedly, his voice raspy: "Hehehe, as expected of the Demon Lord! How do you plan to torture him? Slice his flesh into a thousand pieces? Burn his soul with black flames? Or... take those closest to him and... hehehe."

"No. I'm going to have my wives approach the Hero and become part of his harem."

The Duke froze. "I'm sorry... what did you say?"

"I said, I'm sending my wives to get close to that human Hero. I'll have them have sex with him and become the people he loves most." I smiled wickedly. "Then, at the critical moment, I'll have them betray him. Let him realize the women he loves are actually the Demon Lord's wives. It'll be hilarious. Hahahahaha!"

"Lord Demon Lord! Having your wives serve a mere human... the news would disgrace the dignity of the Demon Realm!"

I stared at him sharply. "So... if you don't tell anyone, how would they know?"

The Duke felt like his soul was being scanned, as if he were falling into a cold abyss. He opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to object.

"Fine. You're dismissed. I'm taking my wives to the human world for a while. Make sure no one knows where I am."

I left him with that and turned to walk away. My plan satisfied my cuckoldry fetish and destroyed the Hero's mental defenses at the same time. It was a win-win.

I walked along, the plan feeling more interesting by the second. I began to smirk. First, who should I send first? My sister? Dreamy? Yeli?

Hmm... let's have Shasha go first. She's a real Succubus; her acting will be perfect. With her charm magic, taking down a virgin Hero will be easy.

I teleported to Shasha's room. She had just finished with Gelu and was sprawled on the bed, her entrance still leaking thick white essence, making a mess of the sheets. The room smelled of lust.

"Hey, Shasha. Clean up and get dressed. I'm taking you out to play." I pinched her rear and grabbed her tail, rubbing the sensitive tip.

"Eek!!! Mmh... I just climaxed..." She opened her eyes, panting and looking at me resentfully. Only I was allowed to touch that spot.

"Shasha, you know how to seduce men, right?"

She laughed as if I'd told a joke, poking my waist with her foot. "I'm a Succubus. If it's male, I can seduce it."

"Can you act like a pure, innocent girl?"

"Hehe... I can be purer than a virgin when I want to be, and sluttery than a whore when I don't."

I nodded, satisfied. "Good. Shasha, as my wife, I have a difficult mission for you."

Her expression turned serious. She sat up straight and waited for orders.

"I want you to seduce the human Hero. Use whatever method you want—purity or bedroom skills—just make him fall for you. Make him unable to live without you."

Shasha's mouth fell open, her eyes full of confusion.

"Huh?"
