Alex stared around him, the entirety of the universe seemed to persist in a frozen state, and everywhere he looked were not just projections of the life he had lived, but multiple different lives, different versions of different men, all of which were clearly him.

He had even seen what came of his past life, and after he had been killed by that jilted lover whose name he couldn’t even remember. As he did so, he could not help but voice his thoughts aloud.

“What is this place?”

The Queen of Hearts who had stood up from her seat and began to stretch her arms and back, was surprised that Alex was more interested in his surroundings than the final prize she had just mentioned to him a moment ago.

Nevertheless, she felt as if, after all of this; she owed him an explanation and was quick to give him the truth he deserved.

“This? You could say this is my private viewing room for our test subjects. You know, I have to say, out of all the souls I have dealt with, I have never had one so daring enough to force himself on a goddess the moment he was reincarnated. You’re such a bad boy, Alex….”

Alex looked at the Queen of Hearts with an almost mortified gaze as he began to realize what was happening all along… And as he examined the woman’s obscenely fetishistic appearance, he couldn’t help but question his own sanity.

“You’re a goddess? Not a physical manifestation of the system?”

The Queen of Hearts giggled as she heard this, stepping forward to Alex in a playful gait almost mimicking a skip, as she latched onto him and whispered in his ears.

“Yup… I’m a goddess of the afterlife. Sometimes we like to have fun at the expense of those sinful bastards like yourself, giving them a chance to redeem themselves through a simulation of another life in more ideal circumstances. To see just how they will do if given total freedom to be who they really are.

I have to say; you didn’t disappoint. Truly, I have seen some men do some wild shit with these different settings, but you my beautiful little lover, you were truly an impressive specimen. So tell me? Was it worth it in the end?”

Alex gazed back at the floating projections, each of which prevented a route with a different heroine he had conquered. But he felt no peace… If this was the end… He didn’t want it… He sighed heavily and shook his head, asking a question that truly surprised the goddess of reincarnation in front of him.

“What will happen to them? Will they be safe without me? Or will this entire simulation, as you call it, just come to an end, without me ever getting to say goodbye… Or how I really feel?”

Was this a lament? Empathy? Love? On Alex’s face? Of course it was. The Queen of Hearts was the only one who knew this entire time that Alex wasn’t some sadistic, Machiavellian, narcissistic psychopath.

At the end of the day, he was a troubled man, with a significant amount of childhood trauma and baggage, who had been placed in a world which he couldn’t trust, or come to terms with in any way other than degeneracy, hedonism, and substance abused.

But… It was the end of the line for him, judgement had already been cast by those above her station. She wasn’t the only divine figure in this universe, after all. And because of this, the Queen of Hearts couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head with a bitter smile on her face. While flaunting a sweet lie to the man, one last hope before eternal damnation for a life lived for the pleasure of the self, at the detriment of all others around him.

“You know… The initial promise the system, or I should say, wasn’t a lie? You don’t need to worry about them. They never really existed to begin with. I told you from the start, right? This world? It’s just a bad NTR Manga… So how about it champ? Ready to become a God? You succeeded in the end after all, one second from failure, but that doesn’t really matter now does it?”

However, Alex completely stunned the Queen of Hearts, and those watching his interaction at her as he looked back towards the screens one last time, then back at her, shaking his head, as he pushed the woman away from him, shockingly rejected the offer of divinity.

“What would be the point? Become a God? No thanks… If I did, I would just use my powers to throw me right back into the story you pulled me from. The woman I have come to love, and cherish, the families I am building, and have yet to make reality… I need nothing more out of life. Even if it is a mortal one… You gave me a second chance, even if it was a lie in the end, that’s all I ever wanted…”

The Queen of Hearts gazed at Alex as if she were looking at a different man entirely, her eyes about to break out into tears as she felt like she could no longer condemn the man after he had finally learned the lesson she was trying to teach him all along.

And then… A voice entered her brain, causing her to break out into not tears of sorrow and guilt, but joy, as a bitter smile formed on her pretty face. Alex was confused while watching this, but the Queen of Hearts just sighed and shook her head, expressing her thoughts aloud.

“Well done… Go enjoy yourself King, after all of this, you have earned the peace….”

Before Alex could say another word, the Queen of Hearts snapped her fingers, and he woke up back in the world he had just left. But he was not in the palace of the King of Oman, where he had left his corpse and the two beauties waiting for him.

No… In fact, he almost didn’t recognize where he was. It was a bedroom… that was one giant bed. And lying next to him were all the heroines he had conquered ,and all the other women in his life who he had grown to love, and cherish.

He, and all of them, were clearly naked beneath the covers, and the sun was rising through the shades of the private island Paradise, where the national flag, being an image of Sakura’s perfect tits waved proudly in the mild sea breeze.

After looking around, Alex could only lie back down and smirk, sighing in relief as he was finally where he always belonged.

That is until he saw the woman clinging to his right side poke her head out from under the sheets. It was none other than the Queen of Hearts. Who had decided to join him in the life he had built?

She hugged the man, and kissed him passionately, before whispering in his ears with a playful tone, and nibble on his lobe.

“What? You were my first… You didn’t think I’d let you run away without taking responsibility now did you?”

When she said this, the rest of the women in Alex’s life woke up, and looked over, seeing a new member who none of them recognized, and instantly began to bicker amongst themselves as she proudly declared herself “Alex’s first”, and the true Queen of this little House of Cards, and in doing so causing what was perhaps the largest cat fight ever witnessed on planet Earth and its recorded history.

As for Alex, he simply lied back on his pillow, resting as the women bickered over who was his number one, a well-earned smile on his face, as he finally found eternal peace.
