Chapter 1

The three incubi I summoned sucked my mana dry by fucking me.

I collapsed in the dead center of the magic circle，my body covered in hickeys.

Then, I heard their voices.

They stood right outside the cracked door, not even bothering to lower their voices.

"Elise's mana is way too thin," Astar sneered. "It’s not even enough for an appetizer. I'm starving here."

"Just suck it up and endure it for a few more days," Belial replied. His voice dripped with absolute boredom. "Once she’s completely drained, she'll have to break the bond. Then we can legally jump ship to Lady Cecilia."

Cassius laughed. The sound was sharp and cruel. "High-tier witch mana. Now that’s a real delicacy. Elise? She’s just a cheap battery."

Their words hit me like a physical blow to the stomach.

I dragged these three out of the Abyss. I spent countless nights brewing healing drafts, burning my own life force to pull them back from the brink of death. I fed them. I housed them. I gave them every drop of my magic just to keep them alive.

And this was my payoff.

A cheap battery.

Ice took its place, freezing the blood in my veins. I didn't cry.

I just felt a sudden, brutal clarity.

I pulled out my transmission crystal.

My younger sister, Cecilia, appeared in the projection.

She lounged on a plush velvet sofa, swirling a high-tier potion

"Well, well. If it isn't my pathetic sister," Cecilia drawled. "Finally coming to beg for some scraps? "

I cut straight to the chase. "You always wanted my incubi. I’m giving them to you."

Cecilia paused. The arrogant smirk slipped right off her face. "What kind of trick is this?"

"No trick," I said, my voice deadpan. "I’ll give you all three of them. Right now. In exchange, I want that useless snake-man you keep locked up in your dungeon."

Cecilia burst out laughing.

"Are you insane? I thought the snake-man had two thick cocks that’d make me cum my brains out, he’s practically frigid! He won't even let me touch him. You think he’ll give a loser like you the time of day?"

"I don't care," I said. My tone was flat. Unshakable. "I just need a chore-boy to sweep the floor and carry cauldrons when I brew potions. Do we have a deal or not?"

Three top-tier incubi for a useless monster. It was the steal of the century.

"Deal," she snapped. She clearly afraid I'd back out. "I'll be there this afternoon to collect my new pets. Don't you dare change your mind."

"I won't," I said.

I cut the connection. The crystal went dark.

Right on cue, the bedroom door creaked open.

Astar, Belial, and Cassius strolled in. They wore their usual flawless, seductive smiles. The exact same smiles they used to drain my energy just an hour ago.

"Elise, honey," Astar cooed. He stepped forward, reaching out to stroke my hair. "You look so pale. Did you push yourself too hard again? Let us help you relax."

He leaned in. His eyes flashed with that familiar, hungry glint. He wanted to drain whatever scraps of mana I had left.

I slapped his hand away.

The loud smack echoed in the quiet room.

Astar froze. He stared at his red hand, then at me. Genuine shock crossed his perfect face.

"Don't touch me," I said.

"Elise? What's wrong with you?" Belial frowned, stepping up beside Astar.

"Save the act," I snapped.

I raised my right hand. A bright, crackling blue flame ignited on my fingertips.

With my left hand, I pulled the heavy parchment of our blood contract from my pocket.

Cassius’s eyes widened. "What are you doing?"

"I'm breaking the contract," I said flatly. The blue flame danced inches from the parchment. "My sister’s swinging by to pick y’all up this afternoon."

Silence slammed into the room.

Their seductive masks shattered completely, replaced by sheer disbelief.

I pressed the flame closer to the edge of the scroll.

Belial clenched his jaw. He exchanged a quick, panicked look with Cassius.

"Wait," Cassius said. He stepped forward. A hint of actual panic bled into his voice. He looked at the burning contract, then at me. "Us? You're giving us to Cecilia?"

He swallowed hard. "Just two of us, right? Who are you leaving behind?"

I looked at the three men I had almost died to save. I felt absolutely nothing.

"All of you," I said.
