The rain tapped softly against Evelyn Carter's bedroom window.
It was nearly midnight.
Most people her age were sleeping.
Evelyn wasn't.
She sat cross-legged on her bed with her laptop balanced on her knees. A half-finished cup of hot chocolate rested beside her.
The glow of the screen illuminated her tired face.
She had spent the entire evening studying.
Now she wanted nothing more than to relax.
Opening her favorite online game forum, she sighed happily.
The familiar website loaded.
Memes.
Game discussions.
Random arguments.
The usual chaos.
Evelyn smiled.
Then a notification appeared.
Friend Request Received.
Username: NightKing.
Evelyn Carter/FL
Nightking? "she muttered"
Evelyn Carter/FL
The name sounded dramatic.
Almost embarrassing.
Curious, clicked the profile.
No photo.
No personal information.
No age.
No location.
Nothing.
Just a black profile picture.
Weird.Who creates this type of account is he a spy
Normally she ignored random requests.
But something made her hesitate.
Evelyn Carter/FL
*Accept the request*
Suddenly a msg popped on her phone 📱
Nightking
You defeated the Shadow Dragon on your first attempt.
Evelyn Carter/FL
*How did he know that the battle had happened earlier in game*
Nightking
That battle usually takes people twenty attempts
Evelyn Carter/FL
Were you watching?
Evelyn Carter/FL
That's not creepy at all
Nightking
Good. I was aiming for slightly creepy.
They talk about games, movies and many things till 1:47 am
Evelyn Carter/FL
I have school tomorrow
Nightking
You should sleep
Nightking
Goodnight Evelyn
Evelyn Carter/FL
*froze* how did you know my name
*she should have blocked him but she didn't instead she smiled*
Evelyn Carter/FL
Goodnight mysterious talker
Nightking
Goodnight demon slayer
Evelyn Carter/FL
She closed her laptop.
But even after lying down, she couldn't stop thinking about him.
NightKing.
Who are you?
Far away from the human world...
Beyond reality itself...
A vast black throne room stretched endlessly beneath a crimson sky.
Thousands of demons knelt.
Noone dared raise their heads.
Upon a throne of obsidian sat a young man.
His silver hair gleamed beneath the blood-red moon.
His crimson eyes glowed with terrifying power.
The atmosphere itself trembled around him.
This was Lucien Ashborne.
The Demon King.
Ruler of the Underworld.
Destroyer of Kingdoms.
The Being Feared by Gods.
And at this very moment...
He was smiling at a laptop.
A horrified silence filled the throne room.
Demons exchanged nervous glances.
Their king had spent the last hour typing.
Typing.
Not conquering worlds.
Not issuing commands.
Typing.
Seraphina stood beside the throne
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
My king
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
My king
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
LUCIEN
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king

Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
The southern Abyss is collapsing
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king

Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
Dragon clans are rebelling
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Execute the leaders
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
The angel army is gathering
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Monitor them
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
*stared*
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
Are you listening?
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Yes
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
You are texting again 😤
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
No
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
You literally are
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
*glanced back at screen small smile appeared on his lips*
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
*looked at Lucien as he might faint.his smile is so ugly 🤢*
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
*Because the demon king was smiling because of a msg and this was worse than any apocalypse*

Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
* Leaned back on his chair gaze soften *
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Evelyn, (a fragile human girl)
Completely unaware that she had become the center of a monster's universe.
And Lucien intended to keep it that way.
For now.
Because if Evelyn ever discovered who he truly was...
Everything would change.
And for the first time in thousands of years...
The Demon King was afraid.
Evelyn Carter/FL
*sunlight was falling on her angelic face*
Evelyn Carter/FL
*wake up and turn off the alarm lazily*
Evelyn Carter/FL
*suddenly last night's memory hit her nightking, why am I thinking about him*
Evelyn Carter/FL
*got ready and went to school*
Far away from human world*
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
*morning was different for him*
The demon king was standing in front of many demons and his just one glance and they dead
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Clean this up
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
*suddenly thought of Evelyn come to his mind*
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
*Is she wake up, what would she be doing thinking these things a small smile appeared on his lips*
Nightking
General: Look at him like they might faint
Let's go back to human world
Evelyn Carter/FL
*trying to focus*
Lily/Fl bestfriend
You look distracted
Lily/Fl bestfriend
Girl, you almost walked into a wall
Evelyn Carter/FL
Maybe a little distracted
Lily/Fl bestfriend
Who is he ?
Lily/Fl bestfriend
There is always a he
Evelyn Carter/FL
There is nobody
Lily/Fl bestfriend
That's what people actually say when there is something
Unfortunately, Lily wasn't wrong.
Because every few minutes...
Evelyn checked her phone.
No messages.
Nothing.
And for some reason...
That disappointed her
Evelyn Carter/FL
*immediately finished her dinner and went back to the room and opened the laptop*
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
You're late
Evelyn Carter/FL
You were waiting
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Maybe
Evelyn Carter/FL
That's a yes
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Don't let it get to your head
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Tragic
How did he keep doing that?
They talked for hours.
About everything.
Books
Movies.
Dreams.
Childhood memories.
And slowly...
Evelyn began learning who NightKing really was.
Or at least who she thought he was.
He loved reading.
He hated crowds.
He preferred quiet places.
He spent most of his time working.
He rarely slept.
Which was strange.
Very strange.
Evelyn Carter/FL
You seriously sleep only two hours
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Usually
Evelyn Carter/FL
That's Unhealthy
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
I'll survive
Evelyn Carter/FL
That's not how human works
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Who said I was human
Evelyn Carter/FL
Very funny
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
I'm serious
Evelyn Carter/FL
Sure, Demon king
On the other side of existence...
Lucien nearly choked.
Seraphina stared.
Seraphina Vale/ Ml advisor
My King
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
*Ignored him*
Evelyn Carter/FL
Who are you then?
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
A terrifying monster
Evelyn Carter/FL
I don't believe that
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
Why
Evelyn Carter/FL
Because monsters don't spend three hours listening to someone complain about homework
For several seconds...
Lucien simply stared.
Nobody had ever spoken to him like that.
Nobody.
Kings feared him.
Demons worshipped him.
Angels hunted him.
But Evelyn?
She treated him like a normal person.
And somehow...
That meant more than any throne ever could
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
You are the first one to who has ever said that to me
Evelyn Carter/FL
Then everyone around you must be dramatic
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
You have no idea *laughed quietly*
Lucien Ashborne/ML/Demon king
After Evelyn finally logged off...
Lucien remained alone in his throne room.
The conversation replayed in his mind.
Monsters don't spend three hours listening to someone complain about homework.
His expression softened.
For thousands of years...
Everyone had looked at him and seen power.
A weapon.
A ruler.
A monster.
Nobody had looked beyond that.
Nobody except Evelyn.
Even though she didn't know who he really was.
A dangerous feeling settled inside his chest.
Something he had been trying to ignore.
Something growing stronger every day
Because this was no longer simple curiosity.
No longer amusement.
No longer friendship.
The Demon King was falling in love.
And he knew exactly how disastrous that could become.
Because sooner or later...
Evelyn would discover the truth.
And when she did...
She might look at him exactly like everyone else did.
As a monster.
For the first time in centuries...
That possibility terrified him more than any war.
Evelyn Carter/FL
*smiling to her phone thinking about a boy she never met*
Evelyn Carter/FL
That the person she was slowly falling for was the most feared being in existenc
