Immortal Refiner - Chapter 20: Wielding the Blade Against the Weak

When I opened my eyes, I wasn’t just in another world—I was in another body.Specifically, the cursed husk of Dominic Nocturne von Morningstar—exiled demon prince, son of a murdered Demon King and a sleeping Demon Queen, and the world’s most powerless noble.Why? Because as a child, Dominic was betrothed to the Seven Daughters of the Seven Satans—supposedly weak, discarded girls. To seal the deal, a forbidden contract drained him of every drop of talent and sin affinity... and gave it all to them.Now, each girl commands a monstrous Sin—Wrath, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, and Pride.And every one of them is dangerously obsessed with me.But what they don’t know is:I’m not the original Dominic.And I have a secret they must never learn—A cheat-like system has awakened inside me: The Lucifer System.A path to reclaiming my powers, rewriting fate... and maybe even dethroning the Seven Satans themselves.That is—if I can survive my psycho wives, hellish quests, and a world that wants me erased.

“After we get married, we'll sleep in separate rooms and have our own fun.”Ethan Lancaster readily agreed. “Okay.”But before he could even unleash his playboy nature, rumors started flying in one after another.“The Young Madam is partying with a crowd at a club...”“The Young Madam's secret night meeting with her ex-boyfriend has been exposed...”The man gritted his teeth and pinned her against the wall, “'Having our own fun' means you play with me, and I play with you!”
