When she first awoke, the only things that greeted her were darkness and sore bones. She groaned weakly as she attempted to rise, but she immediately felt something holding her back. When she turned, she found her hands were cuffed to heavy black chains trailing endlessly behind her. Grogginess very quickly turned to panic, and Luni began to break into a cold sweat.

"Uh, hello?" she questioned the darkness. She was obviously anxious about the situation, but she knew better than to show her fear. That was probably what the sick bastard who took her wanted. "Wh-what the fuck is this? Where am I?!"

"Oh, you've finally awoken," an unseen presence coldly noted. Luni immediately jolted. She...she knew that voice. Its breathy femininity was instantly recognizable. Yet, the voice lacked the warmth and joy it almost always carried. "I hope you rested well, darling," Luni's all too familiar captor finished, a hiss of hatred ending off her words.

The impenetrable, black mist suddenly parted, revealing her prison to be a barren, endless desert. Just above her head, bathed in lavender moonlight, a winged succubus silently drifted down to confront her prey. From far away, the demon seemed like a perfectly sculpted, ethereal woman any man- or woman- would kill to have. When one got a closer look however, it was very evident something was wrong. A dark, tar-like substance hugged against the surface of her hands, feet, and horns. Dark purple veins crawled up her pale skin, and the white sclera of her eyes were now black as night.

Sure enough, just as Luni feared, it was her dearly beloved creation, Lilith. The blue-haired woman was unsure what terrified her more. The fact that something had corrupted her perfect design, or that the affliction pushed her to capture her own creator. For many minutes, Lilith said nothing. She only stared at Luni with unwavering malice.

"Well?" the demon abruptly interrogated. "Anything to say for yourself?" Luni only continued to stare in appalled horror before processing what was said to her.

"Lilith...what...what the hell happened to you?!" she suddenly cried out. "I-I don't understand! The hero, they, they got rid of the corruption!!"

Lilith only sneered in disgust. "As if you ever cared what happened to me," she harshly growled. The callousness of her once kind and loving companion made Luni's stomach drop. Her evident fear only made the corrupted demon shake her head before turning away.

There was another tense pause before either party spoke again. "Do you know how long a couple years can feel when you're all alone?" Lilith asked her captive mournfully.

Luni was admittedly confused by the question, but then, it hit her. She had not touched Gacha World in years. Even when she discovered the game she created was home to varied and sentient beings, she still let it fall into neglect for literal years. It was not intentional, of course. Life had become so hectic for Luni as she approached her finals. She began to focus on planning out her career and studying rather than working on her game. Oh, how foolish that proved to be.

Lilith glanced back to her master. She once again said nothing, but it was clear she understood Luni finally caught on. She simply looked to the ground before continuing. "Being the only one truly aware that none of this was real, it made it impossible for me to talk to the others," she continued. "So, I waited for you to come back. The only person I could have a real, genuine conversation with. Before, I only had to wait a week, tops to see you. Then that turned into a couple weeks. Then a month. Then..." Lilith quietly trailed off. The calculating malice in her eyes melted into sickening sorrow.

In this moment of vulnerability, Luni immediately felt her heart fill with guilt. Yes, her creation did forcefully spirit her away, but it was obviously in a dark moment of desperation. She could not hold that against her beloved. "Lilith, I...I'm so sorry," the developer began. "I didn't mean to ditch you guys, I just suddenly had so much on my plate and-"

"No." Before Luni could explain herself, the succubus suddenly interrupted her. Her violet eyes suddenly locked onto her creator's blue eyes. That haunting look of hatred immediately came back. "You don't get to apologize, not this time," she spat. "You knew, you knew we were alive. You knew we had feelings, thoughts, you knew we could feel love! And yet, you made the exact same mistake again."

Lilith immediately stomped towards Luni, which made her master attempt to back away. For the first time in many years, the developer felt an undeniable sense of fear. "Lilith, please, please don't kill me," she begged. "You-you're right! I fucked up! It was shitty of me to let this happen. But I promise, I can change. I won't ever abandon you or the game, never again."

"Oh, don't worry, love," Lilith assured her. An eager, wide smile suddenly crept on her lips. "I know you won't. I'll make sure of it."

Before Luni could respond, the chains around her hands suddenly turned into a thick, vicious liquid that wrapped itself around her body. She let out panicked screams as she attempted to conjure something, anything to fight back. She immediately felt crippling waves of pain creep up her encased arms, causing her to collapse to her knees in despair.

Lilith slowly walked into the ooze surrounding her darling master. The darkness already encasing her body slowly began to expand. She paid it little mind though, her attention was exclusively on Luni.

The developer looked up to her corrupted former assistant. Tears fell down her cheeks as the whites of her eyes were also consumed by corruption. "Pl...please," she weakly begged. "Make it stop...it....it hurts.."

"I know, I know," Lilith empathetically cooed as she lowered to her eye level. She used one of her clawed fingers to lift up her despair-stricken lover's chin. "It will only be a moment now. Then, neither of us will ever be alone again." She then smiled, not in the sadistic fashion like moments go. Rather, it had a genuine, familiar sense of warmth to it. She then pulled Luni in for a kiss, one hand on her back and the other behind her head. Luni could only weep as the darkness fully consumed them both.

In the twilight desert of corruption and misery, a great beast was born. It was tall, taller than any man, woman, or creature in this virtual world. From behind, its divinely feminine and supple form would draw in many an eager viewer. The same could not be said for the frontal view.

It possessed six torn wings, four horns, and a grin full of sharp, predatory teeth. Two sets of eyes rested upon its face. Two of bright magenta color, the ones on the top, examined the world with a newfound sense of wonder. The lower set of cyan eyes pensively looked down at its body, as if horrified by what it became.

"And now my pet," the demon gleefully began as it ascended to the sky. "We will rule this world together, as Lunith."
