It was supposed to be a peaceful night. Rei had gone to bed at the unheard-of hour of 9 PM, clutching a pillow embroidered with the words "Let Me Rest In Peace"—a gift from the System that definitely wasn't sarcastic.
He had even dared to believe, for 0.2 seconds, that tonight would be different. That he wouldn't wake up mid-suffocation under a dragon tail, holy light beam, or emotionally charged dagger.
Unfortunately, reality had other plans. More specifically—five yandere women in matching pastel pajamas had other plans.
The door creaked open like a horror movie soundtrack on loop.
"Shhh," whispered Lilia, tiptoeing in with a bowl of porridge. "Don't wake up Husband. He needs his beauty sleep."
"He already has beauty," Seraphina replied with a royal pout, holding up a diamond-crusted photo of Rei sleeping. "This is from last night. I took 342 shots. This one is my favorite. His eyelash was at a 34-degree angle. Very aesthetic."
