I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

"We reached an agreement," Lily came next as she stopped just a few inches away from me. She looked towering from this angle, yet it felt like she was so small thanks to all this redness that invaded her scales.

I recalled how her scales kept shining and fading every time she moaned or screamed in different colours. It was new, and weird as heck!

"What decision?" I asked in curiosity while Lily lowered her head even more. "You tell him," she said, or more correctly whispered.

"Someone is going to tell me," I laughed while the two girls seemed a bit hesitant before Hilary broke off my embrace, hit Lily with her elbow, before adding with a sweet short laugh:

"We agreed that we both are going to be your girls."

"This…" I paused, moved my eyes between the two. One was smiling and even laughing like this was some sort of victory to her, and the other had all her scales red from embarrassment.

Yet that didn't prevent Lily from stealing gazes at me, as if she really desired this.

"Let me say this out loud for once," I had to say these words or they'd choke me, "any girl I get will have a bad end, a very bad end. I don't know if this was some sort of a curse or what, but this is how the ugly reality looks like."

"This… Dammit Hye! Are you saying that I got a bad ending?!!!" Hilary screamed the moment she heard my words. And I couldn't help but sigh.

"Do you think you are Hilary?"

"Yes! Who else will I be?!!"

"The same old Hilary? The human girl who fought all her life for her people? Are you sure you are her?"

"This…"

My eyes got glued over hers without even blinking. I didn't add more, and she didn't say any more.

She got what I meant, this was indeed not the same old Hilary. For a second there, her eyes shook slightly before she regained her clarity of mind.

"I'm Hilary!" she said it in such a fierce tone.

"Then why aren't you leading armies and training soldiers?" I crossed my arms, "why are you so damn fixated on spending more time in my bed than at the various battlefields?"

"I…"

"Don't say anymore. Sigh, I don't get what this demon race is all about, but you won't bluff me. It can't be all about getting pumped all day and night, seducing your man to slack his duties and tasks."

"I'm… Not doing any of that… For you…"

Just as I pressured her, she finally broke. Hilary suddenly got a dark red aura gushing out from her body in torrents.

It was so thick and heavy, even if it was gas, it fell on the ground in a moment and started to roll over there.

Her eyes turned all black, with all the white there begone. Her hair turned dark red, with many black and purple strands within.

"Do not speak with me again in such a way! I'm not a lowly sex slave! You hear me?!!"

Her voice changed, and it looked as if she was speaking through a deep cave. I looked at Lily as the latter moved slightly to the side, avoiding this abnormally dangerous red fog.

She gave me the same look I expected, the look of shock. Did this demoness think her little act would trick me?

Aiming at my best general? The one leading all the training grounds here? Whom she'd aim at next? Isac? Angelica?

The list would keep spreading for no end. This lustful path of formidable beings wasn't my path. And it was very clear to me that she was trying to push me through it with all her might, at any cost.

"That's the true Hilary," I said in a cold tone, "the Hilary I got after getting entangled with me…" This time I moved my eyes to fall over Lily who was walking slowly and cautiously to stand by my side.

"I got another girl before Hilary, her name was Karoline. She got abducted by a mysterious being. I don't know where she is, or how she is living her life. And as you can see, this… This is how my beloved Hilary ended up to be. Don't tell me you want to end up just like these two!"

"I…"

"I got that you have feelings for me, many girls do. But for your sake I'm not allowing any more girls to get near me. I'm cursed… Any girl coming near me would get cursed. Please, keep the distance between the two of us fixed. And if I get a chance to solve this curse, believe me you'll be the first to join my side."

"Hye… I…"

"Don't say anything yet," I placed my finger to shut her lips, "you are a dear person to me. You have to know this. You are… The third girl I shared my bed with after all. And I'd hate myself if I found you ending up like my other two girls."

"Hye! Stop ignoring me!"

During my little talk with Lily, Hilary kept screaming and shouting nonsense. When I ignored her, she extended her arm and grabbed mine.

At this moment, I felt like I was seeing a dream, or a glimpse of something horrifying!

It was all dark red, all the world was dyed dark red. There were screams, pleas for mercy, and even many who urged for their suffering to end by death.

There was black smoke everywhere, balls of fire rising up from the ground or falling down from the sky.

Everywhere on the ground, I could see an ocean of people. They were like sand grains on any beach, and they were tortured by another ocean of hideous looking folks.

They got melted skin, dark red bones and flesh appearing from the gaps in their bodies. They had horns, eyes that were all pitch black, and long tails.

They were… Much uglier than monsters. I saw this for a brief moment before I returned again to the real world here.

But that image… These atrocities… They never faded away.
