Chapter 6: The Death Goddess Wants My Soul (and Other Bedtime Problems)
Previously on My Goddess Harem Is Trying to Kill Me (And I Love It): Kairo survived the divine masquerade and seduction duel, unlocking forbidden memories of a past life with the tragic Goddess of Forgotten Love, Elyria. Now part of the harem, Elyria's unstable presence threatens to unravel alliances as a new divine entity—one even Seraphina fears—descends upon the Lustbound Sovereign. Her title: Goddess of Death. Her price: Kairo's soul—or something far more intimate…

1. Nightfall at the Lustbound Sanctuary
I woke up buried under goddess limbs.
Lilix clung to my chest, purring. Rhyssara's tail wrapped around my thigh. Seraphina had one wing over my face, and Elyria was curled at my feet, silently watching me like a starved cat.
"You twitch in your sleep," she said softly.
"Probably because I have PTSD from being seduced to death every day."
Elyria smiled.

A black feather drifted from the ceiling.
The temperature dropped.
And then we heard it—her voice.
"He sleeps beneath stolen stars. I want him returned."

2. Nyxaria Descends
The door to the sanctuary exploded inwards.
She walked in like death wrapped in lace.
Long, obsidian hair. Skin like starlit midnight. Eyes that could stop time and start wars. She wore a black velvet gown that shimmered with the souls of forgotten lovers.
Seraphina stood. "Nyxaria. You dare."
"I was invited, Fire Witch."
She held up a letter.
With my handwriting.
Me: "I didn't write that!"
Lilix: "You were sleep-summoning again."
Nyxaria glided to me. "You called to me in your dreams, my sovereign. In all your dreams."

3. Death's Ultimatum
She sat in my lap without asking.
The other goddesses collectively twitched.
"My offer is simple," Nyxaria purred. "Come with me for one night. In return, I will not reap your soul for the next thousand years."
Rhyssara: "Is that a threat or foreplay?"
Elyria: "He's not yours to claim."
Seraphina: "We will fight you."
Nyxaria's smile widened.
"I hope so. It's been ages since I've danced in blood."

4. The Trial of Eternal Night Begins
Nyxaria whisked me away through a tear in reality.
We stood on a floating island under black auroras. Stone thrones circled us, each bearing a chained skeleton god.
"Win my trial," she whispered, "and I will let you return… untouched."
"And if I lose?"
"You stay. In my bed. In my realm. Forever."
She raised a finger.

5. Round One: The Soul Mirror
A mirror rose before me. Inside it, I saw every woman I'd touched. Every mistake. Every scream. Every betrayal.
My past life as the Lustbound Emperor.
Me kissing Elyria while assassins burned her temple.
Me chained in Seraphina's fire.
Me choosing Lilix over Rhyssara.
My soul shuddered.
"Do you deserve a harem, Kairo? Or are you just a beautiful lie with a broken heart?"
> [Morality Crisis Imminent – Lustbound Core Stabilizing…]
I fell to my knees.
But then I heard them.
My harem.
Their voices.
"Get up, dumbass." "Don't let her win." "You're ours."
I rose.
"I'm broken. But I'm not alone."
The mirror shattered.

6. Round Two: The Midnight Dance
Nyxaria summoned a ballroom of bones.
Music began.
"Dance with me."
We danced. She spun me with every memory, every death, every kiss I forgot.
But I held on. To the memory of my harem.
To the heat of Seraphina's hand. To the sting of Rhyssara's jealousy. To the weight of Elyria's tears. To the laughter of Lilix.
I kissed Nyxaria.
Softly. Once.
"Thank you for the pain. But I've moved on."
She blinked.
Then laughed.
"You win, Lustbound."

7. Return and New Trouble
I awoke back in the sanctuary.
Everyone stared.
Nyxaria stood behind me, humming.
"He passed. He's strong. He's mine."
Seraphina: "What?!"
Lilix: "Nope!"
Elyria: "Absolutely not."
Rhyssara summoned her sword.
Me: Can we go five minutes without someone trying to bed or kill me?

8. Epilogue: The Evolution of the Lustbound Core
My body burned.
Visions of gods kneeling. Universes trembling.
A voice echoed.
"You were always meant to reign. But not as one. As all."
> [Sovereign Core Evolution: Initiated] [New Class Unlocked: OmniLust Emperor]
My harem knelt before me, their divine auras rising.
Nyxaria whispered, "The real war begins now."
