Curiously, Thomas’ life didn’t end here. There was light, and then a new scene appeared in front of him. He was in a luxurious room, somewhat simir to Hell’s castle, but more fantasy-like. No modern equipment, computer or phone, the room was illuminated by candles and strange golden mps. The tapestries and fabrics were alien to him, looking somewhat oriental, and the vibrant colors gave an air of opulence. Outside the windows, the sky was a deep blue, that felt nostalgic but also unfamiliar. He wasn’t in Hell. No, maybe he wasn’t even in the same dimension.

  ‘What’s happening ? Have I been transmigrated again ? What about Bael ? Is he alright ? Did they stop Mariane ? Or has he fallen for her ?’

  No matter how much he asked, he couldn’t get the answer. If he had vanished, he wouldn’t have felt so anxious and wouldn’t have missed the king so much, but now that he was alone here, anxiety started to rise.

  ‘I want to see Bael… Please, God, I don’t know why you hate me, but please bring me back ! I need him !’

  As if responding to his prayers, a pink square appeared in front of his eyes. It wasn’t the same shade as his demonic power, it felt different and more powerful.

  [Welcome to ‘Everything for my Shaman’ ! You have now become the Shaman, the greatest entity in the world, but you can’t do anything without your trusty familiars. Assemble them all, raise your affinity, and fight against the curse of the nd !]

  ‘Have I become the protagonist of a dating game, like Mariane ?’

  This realization made Thomas become pale. Except for Bael, if someone touched him he felt like crying and puking. It was due to the many traumas he carried, including Mariane’s and the numerous happenings in Hell. Him, be a protagonist of a dating game and seducing people ? It was out of the question.

  ‘I won’t do it, I refuse ! Kill me instead ! As long as Bael is safe, I don’t care, why are you making me suffer again !’

  The pink square suddenly started glitching and changed. The color became the same as Thomas’ demonic power and he tensed up. What was happening again ? But he quickly opened his eyes wide after reading the content.

  [Hello, if I remember correctly, I succeeded in showing this message so you must be able to read this. Thomas, Bael needs help. You think it’s the end, back in Hell ? That having Mariane seducing him is God’s real goal ? Of course not, you are clever and at this point you should have guessed his pn and who I am.]

  Of course, Thomas knew. All demons have a distinct color of magic, he would have been dumb not to realize that he was sending himself messages from the future. But the text continued.

  [To sum up because I don’t have much time, I hijacked the annihition magic to bring you to another dimension with another deity. God can’t touch you here. So you must amass as much power as you can, it’s a story where the protagonist is OP so it should be easy. When you finish the main story, a portal will take you back to Hell.]

  Was it really possible ? Could he see Bael again ? If that was truly the case, Thomas was ready to do anything, even seducing strangers. It would surely be painful and traumatizing for him, but he didn’t care about his mental state.

  ‘Ok, I’ll do it.’

  However, the square window had one st thing to say.

  [You will suffer. More than anything you have ever experienced. You must stay strong and endure it for Bael. I’m sorry in advance. It’s a boys love 18+ game.]

  Thomas became pale. 18+, as in sex scenes ? Not 15+, but 18+ ? Did that mean it was a porn game ? He was supposed to not only seduce love interests but also sleep with them ? As he was feeling cold sweat run down his spine, the window disappeared and the game started with two servants entering the room. They were looking like twins, with purple and pink hair. They were dressed in a mixture or western and oriental clothes, a pair of shorts and a top made of patterned fabric letting their stomach show.

  “Master, you have returned !”

  “We waited for you for hundreds of years ! Why did you leave without telling us, the curse has gotten so much worse in your absence !”

  Thomas' face was rigid in a somewhat serious and quite scary expression, but the two boys didn’t seem to mind.

  ‘Their outfit is sexy, the game is really screaming at me that I need to sleep with them.’

  He wanted to tell them to back up, but he suddenly felt weak and fell to his knees.

  “Oh, no ! Master, you were away from this dimension for too long, you don’t have any flow in you ! You will die if you stay like that ! Don’t worry, we’ll help you.”

  The twins quickly walked towards him and put their hands on his chest, but Thomas used all his energy to push them away. He clenched his jaw, breathing with difficulty.

  “What are you saying ? What is the flow ?”

  The boys looked at each other with a confused look.

  “Were your memories erased ?”

  “We don’t have time, master, this is an urgent situation ! The flow is a power that is necessary for life, all living things have some in them, but it’s also the source of your power and your entire being, as the Shaman ! We must help you to circute it right now !”

  “To circute it, we must exchange fluids. In a normal situation, a kiss would do, but your case is urgent ! You must let us help you !”

  The twins leaned towards Thomas again, but he didn’t have the strength to push them away anymore.

  ‘Fucking game, starting with a sex scene…’

  He wanted to fight back hard, the hands of the twins on his thighs were making him shake in terror in disgust, but he couldn’t. He could only watch in horror as the purple one opened his shirt while the pink one was taking off his pants. With no energy, he slipped and fell on the carpet, the two boys on top of him. One was stroking the bump in his underwear and the other was licking his chest, fiddling with his right nipple. However, Thomas didn’t react.

  “Master, why aren’t you getting hard ? It would be easier if you rexed…”

  But the purple boy couldn’t finish his sentence. When his gaze nded on Thomas’ face, he realized that the man was crying. He was looking at the ceiling with a neutral expression, but his eyes were shedding silent tears that rolled on his long bck hair.

  “Master, are you alright ?”

  He didn’t answer. No, he wasn’t alright. He was worse than alright. He felt as if he was stabbed by a hundred knives and someone was ripping his skin apart. Everytime the boy touched his genitals, he wanted to rip his penis out. But the twins probably thought that it was an aftereffect of flow deprivation, and they continued to touch and lick him, taking out his underwear and rubbing his shaft. But nothing happened, it stayed soft. However, Thomas felt more and more energized, as if a strange power was flowing into him. After the purple boy had licked his penis a few times but nothing happened, he lifted his head with a disapproving look.

  “Does your new body have erectile dysfunction, master ? It won’t be easy to get you back in shape that way !”

  Thomas was completely dissociating, now. If he had still been a personality of Mariane, he could have gone back into the inner world and escaped, but he couldn’t. So instead, his brain bnked and stopped registering what was happening. He couldn’t take it. The twins didn’t seem to notice, though, and the pink one was still licking his chest while the other took out his shorts and started to rub his penis against Thomas’, moaning in pleasure. It didn’t take him long to ejacute on the man’s stomach, and the sudden afflux of power flowing through Thomas seemed to bring him back to reality, because he was shaken by spasms, turned his head, and puked on the carpet.

  “Master ? What’s happening ?”

  The twins reached their hands to check his face, but Thomas violently shook them off.

  “Don’t touch me !”

  An unknown force, the same color as his demonic power, flew towards the boys and projected them against the wall. Thomas sat up and upon seeing his stomach stained in white substance, he turned and vomited again. He was shaking all over, his eyes as wide as a madman, with puke all over his hair and body.

  “Bathroom… Now…”

  The purple twin stood up with difficulty.

  “This door….”

  Thankfully, it was a luxurious room with an adjacent bathroom. Thomas sprung up and ran towards the door, almost tripping on the carpet. There were a few buckets of water that hadn’t been heated yet, but he didn’t care. He took one and emptied it over his head, taking a big brush made of horsehair and rubbing his skin all over his body until it was red and bloody. He poured the cold water over him again, and repeated until his skin wasn’t white anymore. When he finished, he finally fell to the flooded ground and cried.

  “Why… Why…”

  A pink window appeared in front of his eyes again.

  [I’m sorry. Think of Bael, stay strong.]
