They were deeply entertained. From that day on, Tanya had been given a nickname. The Winged Gladiator.

She collapsed right after because of exhaustion. Bash ordered demons to carry her out and cared for her.

Tanya slept for three days straight until she had woken up.

When she found herself in the Steel Castle again, Tanya had returned to her human form.

"What happened?" Tanya looked at her hand, empty of red scales.

"You are a Half-Blood. Meaning you can switch between demon form and human form." Solarix leaned on the doorframe and said.

"Have you always been there?" Tanya sweated gently.

Solarix nodded, "I am. There needs to be someone that cares for you after all."

With that, Tanya’s journey to the Red River had ended. She had mastered her demon power. In the game world, she had an origins of a Half-Blood. A perfect way to explain her demonic side instead of the actual reincarnation.

Kaera trembled slightly after watching the Colosseum.

"Are you have an aneurysm or something?" The black cat rubbed its chin.

Kaera breathed out heavy hot breath. "That Colosseum... It’s perfect. I just wish that it was real."

"Well. There’s nothing to say that I can’t build it in the future." The black cat grinned widely.

The game had coming to an end now. Kaera had lost too much of her advantages. Tanya grew stronger with every turns. And she was about to gain the support of a Valeria loyalist, the King of Knights.

She also had the support of the King of Demons, Bash. The famous Faceless Assassin was also on her side. Tanya was invincible.

"You play this game well, anarch." Kaera could already see her lost.

"Nuh uh. Master. You call me Master." The black cat said.

"Once the game ends maybe." Kaera said.

Tanya came to the King of Knights and asked for his help. She had it.

The King of Demons brought his own army to help her.

The hundred year war broke out. One side was the nine kingdoms of men. The other side was the loyalists and the demons of Princess Tanya.

She fought hard and she fought smart. With Crow by her side to be the advisor.

Kaera used the rest of her pieces to extend the war as much as possible. But her lost was inevitable.

When the next century came, Tanya defeated her old enemy and reclaimed her throne. The nine kingdoms were renamed to twelve kingdoms.

Nine kingdoms of men.

One kingdoms of demons.

One kingdoms of outsiders.

And one kingdom that welcomed them all, the new capital of Valeria.

Naturally, the game had ended as Kaera had lost. Mater should’ve ended the dream. But he stretched its own a little bit more.

He knew spicy shit was coming to Crow. This black cat couldn’t ruin a good life for one of his boys.

So Kaera had to sit and watch Tanya and Crow lived happily for a few decades, ruling over the twelve kingdoms, and their questionable bed rocking.

The Phantom Dream finally ended. The Soul Bound Contract took effect.

Kaera sighed, "You really are a petty bastard, making me watch all that."

"MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The black cat laughed manically. "I never said I was good."

"So when are you going to split me from her? I am also curious on how a Rank-2 like you can do it." Kaera said.

"I’ve never explicitly said that I am the one that going to do that. Ever heard about Telara, dear?"

"Telara of the Moon Court? That Fae Queen?"

"That’s right."

"Well. If it’s the Fae, she should be able to do it."

"Yup. In the meantime, don’t cause any trouble to Tanya now."

"Tch. Fine."

Mater retreated from Tanya’s mind. For him, the game only took a few hours. Pieces moved on the board and story line played out like a novel.

But for Tanya, she had lived another life. Two hundred years as a princess, an outlaw, and the queen of Valeria. With her, was her husband, Crow.

They shared a connection like Mater had suspected. A Fate approved connection.

When the servants returned to the real world, they also regained their memory.

The servants stood around Tanya’s bed. Everyone looked over at Crow.

"Damn, son! I didn’t think you had it in you." Sparrow was the first one to speak.

Evelynn covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked at Crow extremely weird.

Evelynn didn’t have much of a role to play in the game but she did arrive in the capital later once Crow and Tanya had married. She was an advisor for Tanya in her time as the queen. She could recall many times that she went pass the royal bedroom and the noises coming from it.

Crow rarely felt embarrassed. But he did this time. The Abomination took off his fedora and covered his face. He couldn’t say anything to excuse himself.

"Alright. Alright." The black cat floated around. "Don’t embarrass him. They’re still not married in reality yet."

Tanya woke up from her coma. She noticed the people around. As she had come to term with her demon side, she could access Kaera’s memory as well and she knew exactly what happened.

The people in the game were a little different outside but one glance and she could recognize Crow.

The girl approached Crow and gently pulled his fedora away.

"Hello, my prince." She smiled.

Crow exhaled in relief. "Hello, princess."

"Do you still feel the same?" Tanya asked. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"I do. But I have to tell you that it wasn’t real. Everything was just a dream constructed by Master. Are you really okay with it?" Crow said.

"Who said that it wasn’t real. It was pretty real for me." Tanya said.

Mater and the servants turned their back around. The cat stood on his two hind legs and looked at his Demonic Transformation Watch.

"Hurry up, you two. Tanya’s family might go in at any time." Mater said.

"The master is waiting." Crow said.

"Come here." Tanya pulled him in for a kiss.

Phantom Dream. A mental spell that could pull the victims in a dream so real that couldn’t differentiate it from reality. Mater used the Submission Pact to access this spell via Forus.

He’d never thought that it could allow Crow to open another lock within him. The lock that separated him from his former human self.

Crow’s dark skin retreated. He regained his human appearance back in the Phantom Dream.
