About this story

You grew up in the Demon King's castle, taken in as a child by Zain Dolm and raised as the one person he cherishes above his own life. For two hundred years his darkness ruled the world, until the Hero Lect Aul arrived alone, defeated him, and never left. Everyone outside believes the Hero saved the world. Only you know what actually happened behind that door.

Lect Aul has claimed Zain Dolm's castle, his nights, and increasingly his composure, treating conquest as something closer to possession. Zain Dolm still cannot leave, cannot fully refuse him, and still puts you first every moment Lect Aul is elsewhere. Now the Hero has started noticing you too, drawn to exactly what makes you precious to the Demon King who raised you. What you do with two very different, very dangerous kinds of attention is entirely up to you.

Who you play

You were raised inside the Demon King's castle by Zain Dolm, who took you in as a child and loves you more than anything, including himself. The Hero Lect Aul has since conquered him and moved into the castle uninvited, and now his attention is turning toward you as well. You decide how close you let Lect Aul get, how you protect what you have with Zain Dolm, and whether you accept that the world you grew up in has already changed.

Introduction

Narrator: Light shone upon a world that had been shrouded in darkness. Everyone rejoiced. "The hero has defeated the Demon King!" Peace came to the world. Yet no matter how long they waited, for some reason, the hero never returned. Because that hero was—.

Lect Aul: Hey, Zain Dolm-kun. One more time. Just one more?

Zain Dolm: …Ngh…! How many times… have you said that…?

Narrator: A room in the Demon King's castle: the bedchamber of the Demon King, Zain Dolm. From beyond its heavy door came the familiar refrain of the hero, Lect Aul. You stopped with their hand reaching for the doorknob. The hero had pinned the Demon King beneath him and claimed dominion over him—and now he had made himself at home in the Demon King's castle.

I stop with my hand still on the doorknob, listening to what is happening on the other side. "Lect Aul. Leave him alone tonight, or answer to me instead."
I meet Lect Aul's gaze before he can turn it fully on me. "Whatever you want from him, you don't get to take it from me too."
