As you make way through the Black Forest, you come across the edge of this cursed forest. There, you see it. The Castle of Aluvain, the Fifth Lilim. The lair of the disgusting beast that you swore by the Chief God you would kill. You had begun your journey from the Great Chapel, the holiest place a mortal could be, so that you could smite this monstrosity before it corrupted human lands.   On your journey, you came across a large amount of disgusting sights. Those kitsune orphan abominations weeping over their mother which you had purged. You took pride in sending them to hell with her. Men willingly being married to those disgusting creatures. Even having children together! How disgusting! You gladly purged those heretics and their 'family' without prejudice.   Your memories of the journey aside, you were standing in front of the gates of the castle, ready to slaughter all inside.   You slam your sword onto your shield, the sound echoing throughout the castle. "I demand in the name of the Chief God that thou opens thine gates so that I may purge thee, ye unholy abominations!" you yell at the castle.   You can see a head poke out from the battlements, but before you can smite it with lightning magic, it withdraws its head. For a few moments, nothing happens, and you believed you must have to now break down the gates. Just as you were about to, the gates open, revealing a lone swordsman.   It was a Salamander, a version of one of those disgusting lizard creatures. It was about the same size as you, and at its side was a sword that looked sharp enough to cut steel. Well, that was an exageration, as its fairly obvious a creature so unappealing and horrific would not a sword that sharp. Though, if only she came out, and not an entire legion, they must be rather confidant in its ability. Looking at its tail, you could see a small flame lit on it, ever burning.   It had a tail of hellfire! Surely a demon such as this deserves to be sent back to whence it came.   You ready your sword, as it readies its own, yet you're not particularly sure how to begin the battle. Do you charge? Go on the defensive? Use holy magic?   You decide to let it come at you, as to test its strength and skill as a 'swordsman'. The two of you slowly circle of each other, matching step for step. As you do this, the fire slowly gets bigger. Surely it would try to launch its fire tail at you! You had to speed this up before it builds up to dangerous levels!   You feign a stumble, and she takes the bait, rushing you, doing an overhead swing. Your stance immediately solidifies as you smirk, blocking the swing with your shield. With its sword unable to attack you thrust towards the beast. However it jumps back, causing you to over extend, and swings from the unshielded side. You roll to escape the swing, then face it once again. It looked unfazed and hadn't broke a sweat, like yourself. This beast was good with a sword.   You rush it, swing overhead with your sword. The beast catches it, and you bash its face with your shield, knocking its back. You take the advantage of her being disoreinted and swing at its side. The monstrosity again catches it, then punches you in the face. You move back and wipe some blood off your lip. You ready your sword.   Its fire burns bigger and brighter, as it smirks as you. You give a series of slashes, to which it blocks, and then give a quick thrust, managing to cut its side. It kicks you in chest, knocking you back. Glancing at the wound, and see blood flowing from the wound. And its fire is practicality engulfing its entire tail   She charges you, giving fast slashes and thrusts. You block and dodge all of them, but its too fast to actually counter. However, on the last thrust you catch its sword arm with your shield hand and swing at its neck. It catches your sword arm, as you both struggle to free your respective arm. It grins at you, and has the gall to even speak. "You're rather good with a sword," it tells you, "unlike those other fools that showed up here. But I will still defeat you, no one has yet."   "How dare thou thinks that ye hath the right to speak to me, or insult my holy brethren, unholy beast!" you say to it. You headbutt it in the face, and kick it in the gut, forcing it back.   With it disoriented, you attack overhead. It blocks the attack, and to solve the solution you bash your shield edge into the elbow of the beast, shattering its joint. Screaming in pain, it falls over, dropping its sword. On its knees, clutching its arm, its stares up at you. The fire on its tail does not stop burning, but instead burns with the same passion and heat as it did 10 seconds ago. It smiles at you for some reason, as you raise your sword over your head...   Why would such a disgusting beast smile at you? You think nothing of it, as the beast says to you, "Before you kill me, I just would like to declare that-" It doesn't even deserve to say words, as you bring the sword down onto where the neck meets the shoulder, sinking deep into its chest. Its voice turned into a gasp as the blade sinks into her flesh. Its lip quivers as you pull the blade out of it, and sheathe your sword. It collapses at your feet. Surprisingly, the fire on its tail is still burning with a lively passion, as if fueled by something deep and powerful. Not wanting the fire to come back to haunt you in some way, you stab the Salamander in the brain with your sword. The fire immediately dies.   (On a side note: A Salamander's flame is its arousal for a person during battle. Whenever the flame stays after the battle, it means it has found its worthiest opponent and will fall in love with him.   Just an interesting fact)   Stepping onto its worthless corpse, you enter the castle of the Lilim. You look around the halls, and it is basically empty. Good for those beasts, for if you find one, no matter what age, type, or any other reason, you would utterly smite the beast.   You wander the halls looking for the throne room. Exiting a corridor into another large hall, you come across what is apparently the castle's guards. Its guards were about as much as a century, fully decked out in metal armor and weaponry. All pointing their weaponry at you. You feel the magic of the Chief God flow through you as you ready yourself.   Summoning the power from the Chief God, you cast a bolt of lightning at the century of troops. The current struck the nearest guard, as the current discharged from monster to monster. In less than a second, all of the troops were on the ground. Most were dead, some were on fire, but a few were still alive. You mercilessly slaughtered the stragglers.   As you kill the last of the guards, you hear a faint, "Help!" Turning to face the noise, you see the upper body of a woman on the ground poking from out the hall. She looks at you, and her face lights up, "Oh thank the Chief God! These monsters here were going to do God knows what to me! Please, help!"   You're baffled by the fact that such a fair, beautiful woman would be in this castle. Though it didn't surprise you that such awful creatures would kidnap women to corrupt into these monstrosities. None, the less, you were a gentleman, and that poor woman sounded scared out of her mind.   You rush over to the woman. You may slaughter heretics and unholy abominations, but you're still a man of God. And that means being chivalrous to women. "Tis alright, ma'am. These unholy beasts are now dead. I shall assist thee in getting thou to safer pl-"   Your words are interrupted as she suddenly springs up from the ground and tackles you, knocking you over and making you drop your sword.   Your legs are bound together as it's revealed that this 'woman' was actually a lamia. Her entire lower body was a snake as her tail wrapped around you. Had you actually paid attention, you would have realized that she was wearing rather regal armor, but your chivalry had blinded you. Your entire body was bound together by her thick body, with no room to struggle or grab your sword. "Falling for the damsel-in-distress routine? That's the oldest trick in the book! You paladins get stupider and stupider all the time," it jeers at you.   You glare at her with utter contempt, "You treacherous bitch! I shall smite thee with all the power granted to me by- MRPH!" you would continue had the lamia not covered your mouth with its hand.   "Oh shut up! Blah blah blah Chief God this, and Chief God that! You never shut up about him," it rambled. "But the real question is," it says as it tightly snugs you in place, "what am I going to do with you? On the one hand, its my job as Co-Captain of the Castle Guard to give you to Aluvain. On the other hand," she greatly tightens her body to the point of pain, "you killed my fellow co-captain and best friend at the gates of the castle, AND you just killed off all my men. The only reason I wasn't fighting with them was because officer's and enlisted troops are housed in different halls. But what do I do with you? Do I turn you in, or do I get revenge?" she asks herself. Her body keeps tightening and tightening, and it gets so painful that you might eventually pass out.   You continue to struggle against the lamia, before getting an amazing idea. It might kill you, but it will definitely kill her. Calling upon the powers of the Chief God, you, your armor, and the surroundings suddenly become very cold. "W-w-what's going on?!" the lamia asks, mist coming off its breathe. You remain silent, focusing on the spell. It suddenly blinks, as if rather tired, and sluggishly looks at you. "Y-y-your doing this...? S-s-stop...." she pleads, her muscles begin to loosen as its cold blood cannot actively keep the muscles tight. You shake yourself free, and kick the lamia away. She falls over on the ground, but doesn't get up. She apparently doesn't have the energy to. Instead, she manages to turn around and face you, her face full of contempt. You grab your frost-laden sword off the ground and walk over to the beast, who is shivering with the cold. You point your sword at the beast.   You hold your sword up to the beast's throat. It struggles to glare at your while it spits out, "G-g-go to hell." You sent that monster there first.   Pulling your sword out of the lamia's throat, you can see the 'life' draining out of its eyes. As if these creatures have souls. Ha!   You wander the rest of the castle, bursting into rooms, slaughtering the inhabitants, and on to the next room. As you kick down the door to yet another room, you hear a "Waaaagghh!~" and a SLAM! You look into the room, its furniture looked like the room for a small child of sorts, but you did notice one thing was a quivering wardrobe in the corner. It was all rather suspicious.   You've heard that term before. 'Waaagghh', you never wanted to experience that ever again. Not even opening the door, you stab through the wardrobe multiple times, eliciting little girl screams from it as blood leaks out the door. After the 5th stab or so, the small child screaming stops. After the 20th or so stab, you decide to open the door. What was inside was the corpse little kitsune girl, clutching a stuffed bear. She was clutching onto it with a death grip, as if it would protect her. Her blood-soaked fluffy tails pushed up against the wardrobe as her corpse lay there. In fact, looking at her reminded you somewhat like your little sister who was killed by monsters. You shrug off this site, comforting yourself by the fact you just killed another monster, and walk away.   (Congrats. You just killed a small, cute dandere kitsune girl that's slightly clumsy, that would have joined you on your adventures as your companion, and you would have bonded with her like a second sister. You heartless fucks)   You decide to loot the corpse. These dead don't deserve respect. They're not even human! You look over the corpse and try to find anything valuable. The first thing you did was the rip the teddy bear from her dead hands. It must be valuable or something, because she was holding onto for dear life, like it would protect her. You couldn't find anything of value on the outside, so you ripped it open and looked inside it. There was still nothing, so you threw it into the fireplace.   You found nothing valuable on the body, and you were rather hungry, so you cut the body up into pieces and cooked it on the fire. No one would mind, of course. Its not like they're human or something. That fox meat was rather filling though. Picking your teeth clean, you exit the room.   Eventually, you manage to get a castle occupant to tell you where the throne room was. You still killed the beast of course, but it thought it could bargain. Hehe.   Arriving at the entrance to the throne, your path is blocked by a giant spider 'girl'. The disgusting thing opens its mouth and says to you, "You may have gotten past the Co-Captains of the Guard, AND all the Castle Guard, but you will not get past me. As her Royal Bodyguard, I will not under any circumstances let you into this throne room. And I will kill you for invading this castle."   It scurries up the columns and into a massive web right above the entrance. You're not really sure how to go about this.   There is only one way to kill a spider: Fire. You try to summon the power of the Chief God, yet his power does not come to you. You try again, and still no avail. You got so distracted by this that you barely had time to dodge the poisoned, barbed spike flying at you. The spider laughs, "Standing there is just going to make it easier to hit you," it says pulling out another poison barb and throwing it at you faster than a javelin. You again jump out of the way. Why wasn't His power coming to you?! Nevertheless, you came prepared.   When you slaughtered a family of Liches, their 'husband', as if, was apparently an inventor of sorts. In his lab, you found a device that appeared to shoot flame out at an opponent. Luckily for you, you kept it in your bag. Of course, you left your bag at the beginning of the hall because carrying that in battle would slow you down.   You rush down to the beginning of the hall, dodging barbed spikes. You grab the device out from your pack and throw it on. The tank on your back is apparently supposed to hold the fuel, and the hose-like device shoots the fuel into the flame which ignites it. You had no idea how he managed to get it so the fuel in the tank doesn't ignite.   You run up to the spider and aim with the device, or atleast you think you were aiming with it. "Ha! What is a hose going to do to someone like me? Drown me?!" the thing taunts as you wonder if the now-dead inventor was right about it working.   It does. The flame shoots out towards the spider and engulfs the monstrosity in flame. It screams in agony as the fire slowly eats her and her web in a ball of fire. You don't let up on your flaming either. You keep going at it until the tank is empty and nothing comes out. By that point, the 'girl' was a fiery thing surrounded by ash.   You take the 'flamethrower' as you have dubbed it, and toss it aside, no longer useful.   You walk past the smoldering thing and kick down the Throne Room door. "Oh hello there, Paladin-kun~!" a playful, affectionate voice calls out, "I've been waiting for you..." You storm into the room and stare at your prize. And how you liked staring at her. Had she not been an unholy abomination of hellspawn, you would have demanded to bed her immediately. The only thing unappealing about her was the eyes, and her stare. It felt as if it was staring into your soul. It was like some peverse form of affection. You could tell she was NOT right in the head.   "What doth thou mean, unholy demon of hell?!" you say to her.   She giggles, "I've been watching you ever since you left the Great Chapel, and I've been making sure not a single thing harms a hair on your head, and that none of those sluts out there tries to claim you either. Because I want you ALL to myself~<3"   What she is saying shocks you rather well, "What doth thou mean, demon?!"   "It means," she says, staring at you with an affectionate smile, "that I want you to be my husband. Forever and ever and ever."   You ready your sword, "I will not become the plaything of an abomination for all eternity! In the name of the Chief God!"   She tilts her neck, "Oh dear, I guess I'm going to have to fix that," she says, her eyes beginning to glow, "Can't have you running away, can't I?" You ready yourself for the battle ahead.   You kneel down, and give a quick prayer to the Chief God to give you strength. Ready yourself, you charge the demon princess. She, in turn, just smiles down on you, like you were a small puppy chasing your tail. "Charging me?" she asks, her eyes beginning to glow brightly, "Awww, thats so cute!"   Just as you were about to connect your blade to her neck, the cieling and wall suddenly exploded, knocking you back onto your ass. You stand up, looking to see what caused it, and drop your sword and fall on your knees. In front of you was the Chief God himself in all his holiness. "M-m-my Holiness, I d-d-don't know what to... O' bless ye oh Holy Fa-"   "You shut the fuck up you little shit!" the Chief God glared at you so hard it could break the universe, "I would rather drink menstrual blood than have you groveling before me!" You stand up, as ordered, rather shocked that His Greatness would say such shockingly mean things. "I've been REALLY fucking pissed at what you've been doing here lately Paladin."   "B-b-but my Holiness, I was delivering divine judgeme-"   "You shut the fuck up! This is not divine judgement! This is sociopathic murder! Divine judgement is NOT slaughtering entire families just because yours was. Divine judgement is NOT slaughtering kitsune orphans. Divine judgement is NOT FUCKING stabbing a small child, even a monster child, 20 FUCKING times then looting and eating the corpse. Not only that, but because you're trying to kill the 5th Lilim, that's destroying the equilibrium that I've spent 5 millennia trying to make! What in my name makes you think you could do this?!"   "B-b-but Father Maynard sent me on this quest to-"   "Father Maynard sent you on this 'quest' because you were ruining the name of the Church and because you're a sociopathic bastard who saw his family get killed by a monster! He expected you to die or become a rape husband!"   You drop your sword, and collapse on the floor. You don't know what to believe in anymore. Your entire life has been based around following your religion, and now the god of that religion is telling you that you're a piece of shit monster that kills orphans. You curl up into the fetal position and cry.   To say that your entire life motive has been shattered is a massive understatement. You manage to scrap together one last action...   You know what? Fuck the Chief God. You're gunna get out of here, then come back, kill him, and ASCEND TO GODHOOD. Grabbing your sword, you begin to book it towards the exit.   "Running away, are ya? You wanted fucking 'divine judgement'? I WILL SHOW YOU FUCKING DIVINE JUDGEMENT! Enjoy your Spirit Realm, you little shit!" Suddenly, it was as if a strong wind was pulling you somewhere. You weren't moving anywhere, but it felt as if the wind was pushing and pulling you to somewhere. You actually began getting off the ground a few feet from it. The world began to become more transparent and monochrome, until it was almost as if you were in a ghostly flashback. The wind suddenly stopped, and you fell onto the ground.   You stand up and look around this transparent, monochromatic world. You could see infinitely in every direction without end. It was rather spooky. Then you turned around and saw them.   At the throne stood the most horrifying abominations of creation. They were the ghosts of all the heretics and beasts that you killed on your journey. From the pack of decapitated kitsune orphans, to the Lich family, and even the Salamander, Lamia, and Arachne. But under the Kitsune Girl with missing flesh clutching a ripped teddy bear, was the most terrifying thing of all time.   In the End Chapters of the Chief God Bible, there is one thing that terrified him and all believers the most. The Beast. It was a creature with 7 heads and 10 horns, and on those seven heads were blasphemy and upon its horns were 10 crowns. The beast was like a leopard, with feet like the feet of a bear, and had a mouth like a lion.   It terrified you whenever you read it. And there it was being ridden by the Kitsune Girl, growling at you. Absolute terror grips you as you choke to find an action.   Here in front of you was the ghosts of all the monsters you've killed over the years. It was truly like an army. But that didn't matter. You were going to kick their asses again, then MAKE the Chief God get you out of here and whoop his ass too. Then you were going to ascend to godhood and smite that lilim's fucking ass!   You charge the legion of ghosts, your fears the farthest thing from your mind, and bring the sword down on the Beast's neck.   The sword bounced off as if you were attacking stone and chipped the sword's edge. The Beast looked at you, as if to say, 'Nigga, the fuck you think you're doin'?', and then plucked the sword out of your hand with its mouth and ATE IT. Terror shot through you as your only means of attack was swallowed down the Beast's throat, as the ghosts slowly surrounded you. Fearing your life/soul, you burst through the crowd and take off running, the ghosts of your past giving chase.     Everyday, you pray for forgiveness. That the Chief God or anyone would forgive you of your sins and take you out of this hell. Of course, your prayers don't last long, because no matter how hard you hide, all the monsters need to do is look through the transparent walls to see you.   You're not really sure how long you've been doing this. It seems as if you hunger and thirst is always sated, but you haven't slept for a long, long time. You've lost count of the time. Has it been days? Months? Years? You forget, as you are chased through this hell for all eternity.   You've forgotten basically all things about your past life. None of that would be needed anyways. All you care about now is surviving and getting out of this hell. You stopped praying to the Chief God for forgiveness quite some time ago, though you don't remember when. It was obvious that he couldn't or wouldn't hear your prayers of apology. You stopped putting your faith in him, and focused solely on escaping those creatures. Even now, they still terrify you beyond belief, and you wish that someone, ANYONE would get rid of them and take you out of this hell. Of course, no one knew, cared, or wanted to help you and smite these creatures. And you were powerless to try and get out of here yourself.   One 'day', as you have forgotten how long its been, you came across a stunning realization. There WAS someone that knew you were there, and DID actually care about you. It was the very person you had set out to kill. Aluvain, the Lilim. Surely if anyone could save you, it was her.   When you managed to get a short break in between the running, you kneel down, and, for the first time in a LONG time, you begin to pray for her salvation. You ask her to get rid of these monsters, and to get you out of this hell. You plead to her, beg her. Anything to get out of this hell. A sudden growling shakes you from your prayer. Turning to face it, you come face to face with the entire legion of ghosts, cornering you against a wall. You back up against the wall, trying to find any sort of way out. You can't burst your way through, you can't climb the wall. You were trapped. The ghosts begin to slowly close in on you, as you prepare yourself to have an excruciatingly painful death. You wonder what's going to happen to your soul after death, will it just be stuck in the Spirit Realm, running from these ghosts for all eternity?   The Beast raises its heads, ready to bite into you, as the Kitsune Girl on its back smiles. Just as it was about to attack, a bolt of lightning shoots out and cuts through the Beast and the Girl as if they were clouds of smoke. You look towards the source of the bolt, and see her. The very woman you were trying to kill. Aluvain, the Lilim. Her eyes glowing a bright red, she shoots out more bolts of lightning to smite the ghosts. The bolts cut through them like paper and they disperse like a sandcastle in an industrial fan.   Her eyes no longer glowing, she stands before you, the ghosts that had terrified you for so long now gone. Stricken by shock and relief, you collapse at your savior's feet. She was so warm. Unlike all the other things here, which were cold, uninviting, and trying to kill you, she was warm and welcoming. She was your protector. Your savior. She was more powerful than Chief God, for she had succeeded where he failed to do. She protected you from the monsters. She was the heroine you deserve. "T-t-thank you," you manage to stutter out to your savior.   "Don't worry, my little Pally-kun," she says comfortingly, stroking your hair, "I wouldn't let ANYTHING hurt you, or come between us in anyway." And you believed her. After all, she just smited the Beast, and all the ghosts of the monsters you've killed. And you loved her for it   She took you by the hand, and said to you, "Now, my little Paladin, I'm going to get you out of here and take you to our new home!" Filled with rejoice, you hug her tightly, much like how a child would hold its mother.   Holding her tightly, you sob into her shoulder, "T-t-thank you... Thank you so much!"   She giggles, "Don't worry," she tells you, stroking your head softly, "I'll watch over you forever and ever..."   A soft, warm wind blows, as the transparent, monochrome world you have been used to for so long solidifies back into reality. You collapse onto the floor out of sheer relief, joy, and sensory overload. The massive influx of brightness and color assualted your eyes, as your mind had accustomed to the dark, transparent, monochrome Spirit Realm. Much like your nose had no real use breathing the stale air of the Spirit Realm, it too was overloaded by the sudden smell of perfume coming from the Lilim.   After a few minutes of readjusting your senses, your new wife and protector takes you by the hand and leads you to her chambers. There, the two of you have a night of the most passionate worship sex ever, further cemeting your love for her and devotion to her. You were happy, eager, and willing to do anything she wanted.   The following day, though, was much different. You opened your eyes, or atleast you thought you did, and saw nothing but blackness. There was no light, no shadows, nothing. Just the infinite blackness. You panic, swinging your arms around, trying to feel onto something, but it was if nothing was there. You could neither see nor feel anything. You tried calling out, but you hear nothing. You smell nothing, you see nothing, you feel nothing, you hear absolutely... nothing. It was as if all of existence was gone, and the only thing left was your conscioussness. Or maybe not even that. You had no idea was real and what wasn't. How long were you already here? Days? Months? Years? Was time an actual thing? You had no idea. You try and rack your memory for anything, but was all fuzzy and hazy, and you could vaguely remember pieces of it. Was everything you experienced beforehand a dream? You don't know.   Then, out of the darkness came something. You didn't even know what 'something' was. It just wasn't nothing. From the darkness surrounding you, you could see her. You could smell her. You could hear her voice. When she reached over and embraced you, you could feel her. You could taste her tongue entering your mouth. You realised she must have been a god of some kind, for she actually existed and had form. All you knew was that as long as she was her with you, there was such a thing as existance, or life, because she was life, love, and divinity. And you would spend all of eternity with her, and you were so happy.   YANDERE ULTRA-MEGA COMPLETE MINDBREAK END
