Concept Stories - Friendzone - Chapter 2

The appearance of a demon had truly shocked me. When was the last time anyone had seen a demon on the mortal plane? It wasn’t like I was unfamiliar with demons. Anyone who studied history knew about the War of the Demon Lords. That said, their relationship with humans had always been contractual. They would take something, and give something in return. Strictly speaking, it was illegal in my country to accept a demonic pact. However, I didn’t see a better way to spare myself from my situation.

“How does it work?” I asked after a long pause.

I wasn’t a complete idiot. Her deal would be advantageous to her. I was also very curious how she wasn’t being targeted by ANGEL. If any demon showed up on the mortal plane, they were supposed to be immediately targeted and blown to bits. However, since she was here, she had some way of avoiding our defenses. At the least, I was willing to listen. I wasn’t going to make a deal with a demon without finding out the details though. Although my life wasn’t enviable, I wasn’t going to make a bad deal for myself.

“You’ll take my deal?” The demoness asked coquettishly.

I made a face. “I’ll think about it. I want to know how you’re going to help me first.”

“Alright, fine, I’m going to offer you a power.”

“Power, you say? What power?”

“If you agree to the contract, you will get access to my power, ‘’Devil’s Mandate.”

“And what is a ‘Devil’s Mandate’?” I asked cautiously, still trying to feel her out.

“It’s the most powerful ability I can grant. You can order one person to do something, and they must do it, although it only works once a day.”

“This sounds like that mind control power from a certain anime…”

“Not quite. You can use the power on the same person as many times as you want. However, they can only do one request… no ands or buts. If you try to insert more than one request, they’ll select what they want to follow, and it might be the opposite of what you want!”

“Can I ask them to do anything?” I continued to interrogate her for more information.

“Anything?” She smirked knowingly, causing me to blush before she shook her head. “No, you can control their actions, but you can’t control their minds. You can’t order someone to fall in love, or become aroused. You can’t order them to hate someone or to like someone else. You can’t make them believe things. Those are all part of their mind. Also, the person will remember everything they did. They’ll remember you asking them to do it. So, if you tell someone to do something, you need to be prepared to deal with the fallout.”

“That doesn’t sound very powerful,” I mumbled.

She glared at me. “Are you kidding me? You could make any girl do whatever you wanted her to do!”

“Yeah, and then claim I sexually coerced her the next day,” I responded dryly. “No, thank you!”

As every nice guy knew, women were especially vicious when they didn’t get their way. They wouldn’t hesitate to ruin a man’s life with any lie to make them feel better for their bad decisions, and that was when there wasn’t dubious magic being used. I knew because I had consoled countless girls who made up all kinds of shit about their ex-boyfriends and then even spread it amongst the girls he was trying to date just to spite him.

Even more ridiculously, she could be the one at fault. She could cheat on him and then dump him, and still decide to destroy his life just so he couldn’t find happiness without her. I had seen it all.

Andromeda seemed to grow alarmed at my blatant refusal. “You could make someone jump off a bridge. You could make someone tell a lie for you. You can make a girl verbally accept a date. You could even make someone break up with their girlfriend!”

My eyebrow rose slightly at that last one. She noticed, and a smile formed on her face.

“Even if I was considering it, which I’m not.” I coughed, changing what I was going to say. “Okay then, what’s in it for you?”

“Oh, not much. I want virgins.”

“Come again?”

“I want you to defile virgins.” She repeated.

“No, it sounds even worse the second time.”

“Deflowered, Dock the Dell, Pluck the Rose, Pierce the Hogshead, lose her cherry!”

“I understood the euphemisms! Why do you want that?”

“Hmph! Do I need to describe the inner workings of demon culture? I want cherries popped, and you’re in a position to pop them.”

“I’m only interested in one girl though.” I frowned.

“I didn’t say you needed to marry them.” She shrugged. “I just want you to spread depravity. As long as you pop five cherries by the end of the semester, our agreement will be complete.”

“Five!” I cried out, “Are you nuts? No, you want me to pop magi! This is about destroying potential magi’s futures!”

“Don’t be dumb.” She scoffed. “I said five virgin girls. They could all be knights for all I care.”

“Virgin female knights?” I sneered. “Are there even five of those in the school?”

“The female knights aren’t as slutty as the magi like to claim.” She shrugged. “That’s just a rumor they use so male knights are less likely to pursue them.”

“Is that true?” I blinked, but then shook my head. “It doesn’t matter, this task is impossible.”

“Five virgins would be easy! Find a virgin, order her to fuck you, and you could have those numbers by the end of the day, let alone an entire semester. If you really can’t find virgin knights, then pop a magi or two. Do you think the future power of a handful of magicians from a third-tier magic school is going to change the balance between the mortal realm and hell?”

“Maybe not… but…”

“Plus, this is just your beginning mission.”

“What’s that now?”

She smirked seductively once again. “If you complete your mission satisfactorily, I may have more jobs to offer you, and more powers to offer you in exchange.”

“What jobs?” I asked, tilting my head.

“Those depend on how well you complete this job, doesn’t it?” She smiled innocently.

“So, I can make anyone do any one thing, once a day. You’ll give me this power and I’ll deflower five girls?”

“Mm!” She nodded. “I’ve even given you a freebie. You should be thanking me.”

“A freebie?” I frowned. “What do you mean by that?”

Her eyes turned to the girl still frozen at the bathroom entrance. As my eyes followed her, I let out a cry and took a step back.

“Her?”

“Is she not pretty enough?” Andromeda walked over to Sophie, looking her up and down with interest.

“She’s a bitch!” I snapped.

“Bitches can be useful.” Andromeda shrugged. “Isn’t it best if you put a bitch in her proper place?”

“She’s not a virgin!” I accused.

“I can assure you that she is,” Andromeda smirked. “I said, not all rumors are true.”

“How can that be?” I felt almost more shocked hearing she was a virgin than meeting a demon.

“That’s not important. Look, even if you’re not convinced, I’ll say now that if you fuck her, I’ll give you credit. Isn’t that enough?”

I opened my mouth a bit, wanting to protest the very idea of sleeping with such an awful skank. Then again, if anyone deserved to be humiliated, wasn’t it Sophie?

“She’s trying to blackmail me.” I gave one last excuse.

“That’s all the more reason to give her proper training. With a single order, you can teach her that you’re not so easy to deal with anymore. Of course, the choice is ultimately yours.” She stopped for a second and looked at me. “As long as we have an agreement.”

I bit my lip as I looked between Andromeda and Sophie. Sophie was blackmailing me right now. Tomorrow, my reputation would be destroyed, and any chance I had to get with Denise would be gone. Meanwhile, this deal seemed simple. I was a virgin myself, but finding five other virgins at school couldn’t be that hard. I just had to pick carefully. It had to be the kind that would keep their mouth shut after it was over. Surely, I could manage that much in the two remaining months before the semester was over.

“Okay!” I agreed, taking her hand.

“Pleasure doing business with you.” She winked, her body glowing with light. “I’ll be seeing you again soon.”

“Wait!” I shouted out, but she disappeared just like that.

I still had questions I wanted to ask. First off, how did I use the skill? Did I need to be careful ordering people? If I told someone to break a leg as a euphemism, would they? There was too little that I knew.

“What, you have something to say?” I jumped when I heard a girl speak after being lost in thought.

Time had restarted and Sophie must have heard my last words, thinking they were directed at her. She was waiting at the door, her foot tapping on the bathroom pavement unhappily. Andromeda said that Sophie was my freebie. That meant she was a virgin. However, did my ability work? There was only one way to be certain.

“You…” I spoke clumsily. “Suck my dick! Ah… and have sex with me!”

I had nearly botched my mandate. I had been thinking about saying something I could pass off as an insult but then realized that it would maintain her virginity. She turned back to me, a disgusted and incredulous look on her face. As soon as I said it, I felt heat on my arm, but my arm was covered with my school uniform and I couldn’t check at the moment.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” She asked.

My eyes widened. Did the demoness lie to me? Maybe, I imagined it all and I was crazy? I just told Sophie to fuck me, and the ability didn’t work! Instead of me being on top, I had instead committed social suicide.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

“Um…” I couldn’t think of any clever way to backpedal.

“You’re a disgusting pig!” She snapped. “I wouldn’t fuck you if you were the last man on Earth!”

She was pissed as she walked toward me. I thought she was going to attack me. If I tried to defend myself, I’d be in even more trouble. My only chance was to act submissively. That was what my years of being a nice guy told me.

“I didn’t… I mean…” I couldn’t come up with any words to undo it.

Nice guys didn’t do well with confrontation. She finally stopped in front of me. She looked me up and down and then crossed her arms, the same disgusted expression on her face.

“Tcht… whatever, take it out.” She responded, dropping her pose and pulling out a hair band before putting her hair up.

“Huh?”

“If I’m going to give you a blowjob, take it out!” She growled.

“Y-yes!” Even I was surprised by how quickly I pulled my dick out of my pants.

She casually went to her knees on the bathroom floor and then grabbed my dick. I was completely at a loss. Reality had yet to settle in.

Sophie is sucking my dick?

It took a bit to realize that I had fucked up my first request. I had asked for a blowjob and for her to fuck me. That was two things! The demoness had already said I could only request one thing a day. If I tried to request more, the person could select what they wanted. Compared to being deflowered, a blowjob was less offensive to Sophie, so Devil’s Mandate is making her suck my dick.

That was as far as my thoughts could go. The next moment, I felt her wet tongue moving along the shaft of my cock, and all thoughts fled my young brain. Sophie had a soft tongue; her mouth was wet and hot. My dick was already hard, but the feel of her mouth made it twitch like it was coming alive. She looked up at me as her mouth moved downwards. She was sucking and licking my penis all over.

I couldn’t think at all. Sophie was a beautiful woman. Sophie had bright green eyes and a mischievous smile. Her hair was dark gold with spirals of ringlets that framed her fox-like face. That was only punctuated by the fox ears and fox tail, both tipped with black fur. This was because Sophie was part Animalia, a fox type. Few humans were pure-blood these days. Just about everyone had their blood mixed with some magical being. Even I was part Majin, although I didn’t express any Majin traits, or I might have become a mage.

Sophie’s fox-like demeanor only made her blowjob more sensual.  Sophie’s soft, pink lips sucked along the length of my penis. Her tongue wrapped around the head and flicked over the tip. She didn’t look at me. Instead, her attention was focused entirely on my dick. She was taking the time to taste and explore the length of my penis, using her fingers to caress the area around my balls.

Her tongue moved in circles, and her soft mouth enveloped the head of my cock. Then, as if she had grown bored, she sucked down the rest of my shaft. Her wet, slippery tongue licked and played with the length of my dick. Every second felt like heaven. For a virgin like me, it proved to be far too much.

I had already reached the end of my rope. Sophie’s hand was now wrapped around the base of my cock. Her fingers and mouth were working together to stimulate every inch of my cock. Her mouth was a little tight and hot, and she kept licking my dick like a lollipop. Her other hand was gently squeezing and rubbing my balls.

“S-Sophie… I’m cumming!”

“Nhg…” She mumbled.

A moment later, my dick was exploding into her mouth.

“Ghaah…!!” I yelled out far louder than I should considering the location.

I couldn’t help but let out a loud grunt as I came. The feeling of orgasming was amazing. Her warm mouth was still wrapped around the base of my dick. As I came, I felt her mouth slowly swallow the cum down her throat. She didn’t get it all and some of it ended up on her cheek and running down her chin.

As I reached post-nut clarity, a thought struck me. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my smartphone. I immediately clicked on a certain icon. A moment later, there was the sound of a camera shutter. Sophie’s expression went from satisfaction, to confusion, to horror all within a few moments.

“Wh-what are you doing?” She cried out.

“Nothing much…” I responded as I continued to snap more. “I just realized it’d be a shame if these photos ended up leaking all over school.”

She stared up at me in horror, her face turning red as she reached up and touched the cum on her chin. I snapped one last picture and then I fled the room. I didn’t want to be there when she recovered. Let her stew on what happened for a while first.

“You didn’t even go all the way. How disappointing…” A voice sounded next to my ear.

“Huh?” I was already outside the building when I heard the familiar voice of Andromeda and stopped, looking around in confusion.

“I said we’d talk soon.” Andromeda teased. “Look at your arm, in private.”

I found a secure place and then pulled up my sleeve. There, I found branded on my arm was a demon mark. If I was seen with such a thing, I would immediately be arrested and maybe even killed. Everything that had happened finally came crashing home. I made a deal with a demon. I had betrayed the mortal realm and was now a servant of hell. As a knight tasked with protecting the realm, this was even more offensive.

“This is the mark of our contract,” Andromeda explained. “It’s your connection to me, and the source of your power. Notice that symbol.

Within a circle and a pentagram was a strange and unreadable character. “What is it?”

“That’s your ability. It is greyed out now because you used it. In twenty-four hours, it’ll darken and you’ll be able to use it again. That circle will also grey out. Once the circle is greyed out, you are out of time and your soul will become hell’s property.”

“Hell’s property…” I noticed that a small piece of the circle was grey, and that line was growing very slowly in a clockwise motion.

“Just complete your mission before the circle disappears, and you will obtain it forever,” Andromeda explained. “In the meantime, if you push any thoughts toward the symbol, I’ll receive them. I can provide advice, but nothing else. Let me know if you need anything. It’ll be a pleasure.”

When her explanation was over, I pulled my sleeve back down. I had done it. I made a deal with a demon. My only choice was to go all out or become the enemy of humanity.
