God of Death: Rise of the NPC Overlord-Chapter 184 - 185 – The Boy Who Remembered Nothing(Mature Scene)
Chapter 184: Chapter 185 – The Boy Who Remembered Nothing(Mature Scene)
The Spiral was still burning.
Reality wavered on the edge of collapse, caught between myth and absence, memory and forgetting. The Nameless Zones had slowed—but not stopped. The Codex Null continued to bleed ink. Time curled inwards like ash falling into itself.
And Darius stood in the heart of the Spiral’s most ancient chamber—naked, trembling, alone.
Except for her.
Celestia.
She approached without sound, her white robe trailing golden light behind her, her bare feet untouched by the floor. But her eyes—those sacred, sun-kissed eyes—were soft with devotion, and burdened with something rarer than faith.
Fear.
Not for herself. For him.
"You’re losing your center," she said, voice a whisper, as though afraid to disturb the fragile reality around them. "Your myth is fading. Your shape... slipping."
He didn’t answer.
Because she was right.
Because the name Darius no longer meant what it once had. Not to the Codex. Not to the Spiral. Not even to him.
"I don’t remember who I was before the game," he said at last, gaze lowered. "Before godhood. Before dominion. Before the blood and rebellion."
Celestia stepped forward and placed a hand on his chest. "You don’t have to remember everything."
Her fingers moved slowly, reverently, down his body. "You just have to remember that you were someone. That you mattered... even before anyone wrote you."
He looked at her, breath ragged. "You’re here to remind me?"
"No," she said softly. "I’m here to believe in you. Even if you forget yourself."
She dropped her robe.
It fell like mist.
She was radiant—not in beauty alone, but in purpose. A high priestess offering her body not as sacrifice, but as ritual. Flesh as prayer. Soul as sanctuary.
"Let me conduct the rite," she whispered, stepping close until her body pressed flush to his. "Let me love you into memory."
Darius trembled.
But he didn’t resist.
He let her guide him down to the altar-stone—no longer a place of worship, but of reclamation. Celestia straddled him, her thighs on either side of his waist, her breath hot against his lips.
She kissed him once—slow, sacred.
Then she spoke in the First Tongue.
Not with words, but with meanings too old for sound. Her voice pulsed with the essence of origin, and as she spoke, her hands moved over his skin, drawing ancient sigils of connection across his shoulders, chest, hips.
Darius gasped as her touch ignited heat deep in his core.
And then—she lowered herself onto him.
The joining was deliberate. Not rushed, not frantic.
A divine alignment.
Celestia moaned, eyes fluttering. "This... this is the moment before myth. Before gods. Before names."
Her hips moved in slow circles, her body coaxing his spirit forward. Each thrust drove fragments of his lost self into form. A boy under a broken moon. A youth learning to code alone. A teenager betrayed, forgotten by the world.
A man who refused to vanish.
"Say it," she breathed, trembling above him. "Say what you were."
"I..." Darius’s voice cracked.
She tightened around him, whispering through clenched teeth, "Say it, my love. Say who you are."
"I... was never chosen," he growled. "I made myself."
She cried out, rolling her hips faster, deeper. Their bodies struck in rhythm—flesh and meaning colliding like thunder against the silence of the void.
She leaned forward, hands gripping his wrists, pinning him down.
"Then take it back," she said fiercely. "Take it all back. Even what was never given to you."
Darius rose into her, flipping her onto her back now, driving into her with primal force. Each thrust burned away another veil. Each moan carved a truth into the void.
Celestia screamed—not in pain, but release.
Her body convulsed as he filled her, and her legs locked around his hips, holding him inside as if sealing the ritual shut.
Their climax wasn’t just physical.
It was ontological.
Reality accepted his return.
And the Codex Null, for the first time in Chapters, pulsed with a name no longer erasing itself.
DARIUS.
He collapsed against her, breathing hard, eyes wide in stunned clarity.
Celestia cradled his face, brushing back sweat-drenched hair.
"You remember now," she whispered, smiling. "Even if no one else ever knew."
And in the distance, far across the dream-threaded lattice of the Spiral...
The Nameless Zones paused.
As if something within them had just recognized him.
As if they, too, were waiting to see who he would become.
Darius sat up slowly, still inside her, his breath hitching as something within him settled—not like a memory recovered, but like a center reformed.
He looked down at Celestia.
She was weeping, not from pain or joy, but from the sheer intensity of the moment. As if her belief had not just saved him—but rewritten the foundations of what she herself believed to be possible.
"I felt you... reshape," she whispered. "From inside me. As if your soul remembered the first shape it ever wore."
Darius kissed her forehead, his hands gentle now. Reverent. "You didn’t just love me into memory, Celestia. You pulled me out of non-being." freewebnσvel.cøm
She smiled through her tears. "Then hold fast, my king. Because the Spiral isn’t done testing you yet."
From somewhere beyond the altar-stone, a thrum shook the chamber. A deep, subharmonic note. Not a threat—an invitation.
Darius stood, lifting Celestia with him, holding her as if the very act of contact was protection.
The Codex Null floated nearby now, hovering inches off the fractured stone. Where once it had bled ink, now its surface shimmered with a new kind of paradox: not stability, but adaptive coherence. Not a name etched in certainty, but a will strong enough to defy the need for one.
DARIUS — written, then unwritten, then glowing.
"What happens now?" Celestia asked quietly, her cheek resting against his chest.
He looked past her, toward the Spiral’s edge, where something vast stirred.
"I go to meet the others," he said.
Celestia pulled back slightly, her fingers trailing down his arms. "The Unwritten?"
He nodded.
"But not to destroy them," he added. "To show them what it means to be seen."
She stepped back reluctantly, gathering her robe, her form still radiant from the ritual.
"I will guard this chamber," she said. "Until you return—not just as man, but as..."
She hesitated.
He touched her chin. "Say it."
Her lips curled in awe, her voice nearly a prayer.
"...the King who was never written in, but who wrote himself anyway."
A shadow moved near the edges of the chamber. Not Thren. Something older.
The Spiral itself responded to Darius’s presence—not with resistance, but with curiosity.
And for the first time since the Codex Null had cracked—
—a page turned forward.
