"…" Aria thought about his offer while hugging him even closer. It was a difficult topic that ate away at her heart. After a bit, she shook her head, "Maybe a man's input would help Damian, but not tomorrow. He needs to cool his head off. I don't think he's in a state where he would be receptive to your words."
"You know best." Kaiden accepted her words while he grabbed her firm, athletic butt with one hand and her thigh with the other, after which he lifted her leg so that it rested on top of his lower abdomen. Although Aria was wearing a nightrobe, her silky smooth thighs were not covered entirely, so he could bask in their tender touch.
"Hehe! I'm a bit tired now… And you've already ejaculated like six times today…" Aria giggled cutely.
"I was just getting us comfy, nothing more."
"Hmm…" Aria's strong suspicions easily shone through her musing, but she let it go in the end.
"Since I'm not getting any action, can I ask about your parents? Lux told me a bit, but she wasn't very well informed."
The Moon Valkyrie sighed a long one before deciding to accommodate her boyfriend's request. She told him about her father, and Kaiden's bankruptcy theory proved to be exactly on the money. He was legally assetless and jobless thus, he couldn't be forced by the government to pay up.
"As for my mother… She is a drug addict who works as a clerk in a brothel to earn her fix."
Hearing this, Kaiden felt immense sorrow in his heart for his girlfriend. Just how difficult was her upbringing? "I must've seemed like an entitled brat when you learned of me being an Ashborn and throwing it away for something abstract like 'happiness.'"
Aria erupted into merry giggling and bumped him on the nose playfully before admitting slyly, "Maybe just a little bit."
"Just a bit? Your tone tells an entirely different story…"
"That kind of reasoning won't hold up in court, so you better give up!"
Kaiden couldn't help but laugh and be drawn to this lovely existence, so much so that he reached under Aria's chin, lifted her head, and dove in for a sensual kiss, which surprised the girl greatly, but she offered no resistance at all.
A few minutes later, once they detached their tongues, Kaiden asked another question that was on his mind. "What about your mother's boyfriend?"
"He's a pimp. He owns a brothel at which she works as the receptionist, and he is also the one who supplies her with the drugs."
Kaiden snorted, "Then he is a very bad influence on her."
"Yes, but I can't do anything about it. I begged my mother before to break up with him and visit a detox center, but she firmly refused me."
He could only sigh with a heavy heart. It seemed he would have to pay a visit to his future mother-in-law sometime and see if she was truly beyond help or not. For now, he could only hold his girl closer as they drifted off to sleep in each other's warm embrace.
…
Kaiden awoke feeling excellently rested. How could he not when such a hot babe was in his arms throughout the night?
Based on her soft breathing, Aria was still in deep slumber, so he decided to think a bit about things. With her sleeping position, he had no way to get out of bed without waking her.
The first thing on his mind was the Awakened Association. As newly awakened people, they were legally obligated to register at one of their centers within a week of awakening. It wouldn't be an issue normally, but not only did he have a weird class, but his three girls all had classes with the word Valkyrie in them. He didn't know what the reaction of the higher-ups of the association would be, but he had no way to circumvent the registration process.
The Awakened Association was an almighty organization. If he refused to register, that would be akin to lying to the IRS about your income, just with heavier penalties.
Kaiden was not at all ready to live as a fugitive, so he had to be honest and hope for the best. Weirder things have happened than this, so he hoped it would be okay.
Afterward, Kaiden thought about the future of their content creation enterprise. The four of them didn't have a lot of time to dwindle around; they had to upload videos and earn money, or the girls would be in financial trouble.
Kaiden wanted to start with something small and simple, like a sensual blowjob scene. They'd decided to entirely forego the internet for their adult content and focus solely on the awakened media platform. It would result in the best long-term earnings since it was the most approachable, and they wanted to have sole ownership over the videos, which was something they would not have if they uploaded them to the internet. Anyone could download and spread them, even edit them.
Since the four of them didn't have money to get good mana cameras yet, they would have to depend on his First-Person Camera skill, which was transformed from his Pornstar class's spell to the Demonic Pornstar System's skill when he changed classes.
Their other content would most certainly include dungeon-clearing streams as well as Luna's gaming stuff, the latter of which would be on Tw*tch and Yo*tube. Other than that, things were undecided, but Kaiden wanted variety to be certainly among the categories they produced, such as going to the beach, cooking and eating together, fun competitions, etc.
He also thought about Nyx and how he would be helping her move today. With Aria's and Luna's situation more or less unveiled, now Nyx was the only girl of his whose backstory and reasons for volunteering for the casting remained a mystery.
Lastly, it was time they began clearing a beginner-friendly dungeon, but that would have to wait until their registration was complete with the association.
Since the sleeping beauty was still clinging onto him with so much neediness, Kaiden didn't have the heart to tear her off, so he remained in bed and took his phone out.
He saw a few messages.
The first one was from Nyx.
She sent an alluring selfie of her posing in the mirror with a towel draped around her extremely curvaceous body. On it, a caption read: Master, Valhalla's Sinners received its first few followers!
'Oh, yeah. The social media page.' Kaiden remembered suddenly, and he opened up the app to check it out.
It had seven followers. He didn't know what the pink-haired bombshell did to get these people to click on the follow button since they had no content on the page besides the one selfie they took for the profile picture, but he thought it to be a good start. Nyx was eager to be the social media manager, so she must have had some tricks up her sleeve.
Kaiden decided to repost the page on his Tw*tter account. He thought maybe someone would see it, even though he had no followers of his own.
Then he replied to Nyx's suggestive photo.
