Volume 2, Chapter 7: The Book That Writes Its Own Love Scenes (and Also Summons Demons)
---
The Cathedral of Forbidden Miracles was not built.
It appeared.
One day, it simply existed—an impossible structure of curved paradoxes and inverted time pillars, sitting in a field where logic once lived.
Kai stared at it. "Okay, this is officially worse than the Temple of Lost Timelines."
Nyxa flickered. "Affirmative. This structure should not be. Neither should we."
Veyra adjusted her dual-bladed whip. "Smells like memory dust and guilt. I hate it already."
Yui tightened her grip on her blade. "We need that book. Fast."
Velmaria cracked her knuckles. "If it tries to read me, I'll burn it."
Iseria crossed her arms. "This place defies all holy architecture. Its symmetry is... seductive."
Seraphina grinned. "You said seductive. You're one of us now."
Kai sighed. "Let's just get the book and not unleash any ancient sex demons today, okay?"

[Inside the Cathedral]
The walls shimmered like ink suspended in honey.
Every step rewrote the one before.
As Kai and his party moved forward, stained glass whispered their sins. Murals shifted based on who looked at them.
Then they found the Book—levitating on an altar, surrounded by a halo of black flames.
It looked… like a massive leather-bound diary with a heart-shaped lock.
Kai blinked. "That's it?"
Nyxa scanned it. "Designated: Codex Amoris. Class: Forbidden Relic. Function: Reality-writing. Side effect: spontaneous erotica generation."
Velmaria snorted. "Erotica generation?"
Yui blushed. "It's... already writing."
They all looked at the open page.

"Kai leaned over the altar, his breath mingling with the scent of danger and longing. Behind him, the goddess closest to falling—"
Kai slammed the book shut. "Nope!"

Suddenly, the ground trembled.
Dark tendrils rose from beneath the altar, forming into the seductive, shifting figure of a demoness—horned, winged, and made entirely from written words and moans.
She purred. "Kai. You left me unfinished."
Kai backed up. "You weren't in any real book!"
She grinned. "I was in your imagination. That's where the Codex writes from."
---
[Boss Battle: Erosyl, the Literary Lust Demon]
Erosyl's attacks were... unconventional.
She whispered romantic lines that made Kai's knees buckle.
She summoned spectral copies of harem members—each more affectionate and distractingly undressed than the last.
Yui tried to stab her, but the blade phased through prose.
Eirnys attempted a binding spell, but it was turned into a love sonnet.
Seraphina launched a kiss-flame… which Erosyl absorbed.
Kai grit his teeth. "She's feeding off the book!"
Nyxa's eyes widened. "She is the book."

Kai stepped forward. "Then let's rewrite her."

Erosyl stumbled. "Wait—what is this—no, not—!"
Suddenly, the demon was narrating her own embarrassment:
"Erosyl tried to seduce him, but instead offered him an awkward hug while discussing taxes."
Kai chuckled. "You messed with the wrong protagonist."
She shrieked, dissolving into a cloud of steamy paper hearts.

Later, outside the Cathedral…
Kai sat with the closed Codex Amoris in his lap, sighing.
Yui sat beside him, cheeks pink. "She... used my face. With cat ears."
Seraphina smirked. "She used everyone's face, dear."
Iseria crossed her arms. "She used mine twice."
Velmaria growled. "My version tried to cuddle. I hate that."
Nyxa whispered, "She used me too. And binary doesn't even have those positions."
Veyra leaned in, grinning. "So, boss. Book of sexy fate. Are you gonna read what it wrote next?"
Kai shook his head. "No way."
Nyxa snorted. "It's currently writing about you saying that while everyone leans closer."
Everyone leaned closer.
Kai's eye twitched.
He opened the book.
---
"Kai, surrounded by love, chaos, and questionable narration, realized there was no escaping the story anymore. But maybe... he didn't want to."
