How did it all come to this?
It all started three days ago.
Trapped in a cycle of gnawing boredom, Naoki decided to perform an experiment. He attempted to apply his «Decimal Point» ability to another Peach Blessing stored within «Pandemonium».
«Decimal Point» is the power to amplify another Peach Blessing by tenfold—the most potent type of amplification ever recorded in history. It is worth noting that of the ten Peach Blessings within «Pandemonium», seven are copies taken from the Unit Commanders. Anyone capable of holding the rank of Commander in the Anti-Demon Corps possesses an extraordinarily powerful Blessing; thus, the sheer magnitude of such a power amplified tenfold is almost beyond imagination.
So, Naoki synchronized «Decimal Point» with the other contents of «Pandemonium».
The unexpected occurred when he activated the combination of «Decimal Point» and «Promise» simultaneously. Under normal conditions, «Promise» is merely a wide-range detection ability. Furthermore, it allows the user to peer several seconds into the future—a phenomenon remarkably similar to high-level Future Sight.
However, when boosted tenfold, the effect didn't just upgrade the detection radius from 20 kilometers to 200 kilometers. The most extraordinary, and terrifying, aspect was that Naoki received a prophecy: a vivid fragment of a future where he fell into an unimaginable tragedy.
Through that prophecy, Naoki witnessed a sickening sight. He watched a middle-aged loser named Oga Tatsuki receive a "cheat ability" from a higher-dimensional entity. The ability was called «Mara Papiyas».
This gift completely transcended the established power systems of this world. With «Mara Papiyas», Tatsuki became immune to every type of supernatural force derived from Peach Blessings. Worse still, he possessed the power to reshape the world to the point where the new reality was accepted as "the way things have always been."
This was no mere illusion or a technique that deceived the target's consciousness and common sense. It was a high-level form of reality manipulation that, through the expansion of that common sense, caused new behaviors and values to spread globally without anyone sensing a single thing was amiss.
In that distorted future, Tatsuki had reduced every woman in the Anti-Demon Corps to a mere "sow." Their minds had been rewired with a single purpose: how to satisfy that depraved man with their bodies. Naoki nearly lost his sanity as he watched Tatsuki take Tenka like a common whore in a brothel.
Consumed by a roiling fury and a burning disgust, Naoki didn't wait a moment longer. He immediately tore open a portal to the real world using «Ame-no-Mitori». His intent was singular: kill Oga Tatsuki before the higher-dimensional entity could bestow «Mara Papiyas», ensuring that dark future never came to pass.
Despite his rage, Naoki remained cautious about the assassination. In ancient times, human life was cheap. No matter how many people went missing, as long as it didn't affect the nobility, no one cared and no one investigated.
But times had changed. In today's peaceful society, a single death is a major incident. The police investigate every case—let alone the disappearance of multiple people overnight. It would be classified as a major, high-priority case. An investigation would be inevitable, perhaps even a special task force. While Naoki didn't believe the police could catch him, what if they did? After all, in this world, Peach Blessings are so varied and unpredictable. One small misstep could turn Naoki into a fugitive.
Yet, the real problem wasn't the risk of arrest; it was far more existential and terrifying than that.
As Naoki prepared to strike Tatsuki from a distance, he felt a deathly chill—a tangible threat of demise. His instincts screamed that if he released even a single attack, he would be killed before it even reached the target. That warning of death acted like ice water, dousing his fury instantly. His mind cleared, forced back to reality by a brutal truth.
The moment Naoki withdrew his killing intent, the sensation of the Reaper's scythe against his neck vanished without a trace, as if it had all been an illusion. But he knew better. Through his analysis, he concluded one thing: Tatsuki was being shielded by a higher-dimensional entity. It was this entity that would grant him «Mara Papiyas», the power that would turn every beautiful woman the depraved man desired into a mindless "meat toilet."
This realization plunged Naoki into a deep abyss of despair. He could only watch Tatsuki's retreating back with pure hatred, his hands paralyzed and useless. Naoki was not an impulsive man; he knew his death would change nothing. He didn't want his life to end in a futile gesture. Thus, he chose to retreat, isolate himself, and begin racking his brain for a solution to overcome this cursed "Bad End" future.
That day, Naoki was in a foul mood. His disheveled appearance and hollow gaze left Tenka, Yachiho, and Sahara deeply worried. They approached him repeatedly, asking in soft tones if something was wrong or if there was a burden they could share.
Looking at those beautiful, caring faces, Naoki felt as though his heart was being carved by a knife. There was absolutely no point in telling them this disgusting truth—that in three days' time, their identities, their pride, and their very thoughts would no longer belong to them. They would be forcibly turned into personal "sheaths" for a forty-year-old man who possessed no value other than the luck of being chosen by a higher-dimensional entity for its amusement.
Naoki bore the weight alone. Every time Tenka smiled or Yachiho indulged in her narcissism, Naoki was haunted by the future fragments of «Promise», where their eyes were filled with mindless devotion, worshipping only Tatsuki. The mental pressure nearly drove him mad. In his darkened room, Naoki pored over every single possibility within «Pandemonium».
The clock continued to tick. Three days felt like a countdown to the gallows, and Naoki knew that if he failed to find a solution before time ran out, the world he knew would lose everything—including the women he loved.
