Demonic Pornstar System

Chapter 516: He’s Here

Awakened across the globe started experimenting with lifestyle content, comedic bit clips, ”day in the life of an S-tier apprentice,” cooking shows, pet vlogs, workout challenges, magical trickshot videos, and dungeon goof-offs. And, yes. Due to the influence of ChronosX and the Sinners, some were even daring to shoot porn.

At first, many hated him.

Then they hated that his approach worked.

Then they hated that they couldn’t stop it.

Then they tried doing it themselves.

Because if you weren’t trendsetting, you were invisible.

If you weren’t standing out, you’d be forgotten.

If you weren’t creating, you’d be poor.

Kaiden changed the entire industry without meaning to.

And now, staying hidden was no longer an option, not for someone whose entire strategy for long-term growth revolved around being seen.

That was the first answer.

The second was even more important:

This place...

It was not a lawless zone.

If anything, it was the single most regulated hotspot.

As Kaiden and the girls stepped farther into the staging grounds, the first thing they noticed was the noise. Despite this place being the converging zone of dozens of guilds, many of whom were rivals if not outright hostile, there was no chaotic screaming, fighting, or arguments.

It was the noise of industry, of movement, of an entire region brimming with life.

Tents flapped.

Engines rumbled.

Merchants shouted over one another.

Scanners pinged.

Armor clattered.

Drones buzzed overhead like mechanical gnats on steroids.

Helicopters circled above, their rotors beating steady rhythms as camera crews leaned out with stabilized lenses.

Not a single punch was thrown.

The order was absolute.

And its enforcers were impossible to miss.

Men and women in matte black armor patrolled the grounds in organized lines, each set plated with reinforced layers and inscribed with glowing symbols - Association tech, the kind only high-ranking awakened law-enforcers received. Their helmets hid their faces entirely, not even leaving a single horizontal visor.

These were Association Peacekeepers, strong awakened soldiers.

Higher-tier, well-trained, and utterly merciless if anyone broke the rules.

Every guild member who saw them shifted their posture, even the cocky ones. It wasn’t fear per se, more like the reminder that here, nobody could play king.

Not even S-tier celebrities. Not even the rising monsters from famous guilds.

The Association allowed no exceptions.

Kaiden slowed slightly as they walked, watching one of the armored soldiers march past. Even through the heavy gear, their sheer mana pressure thumped against the air like a warning heartbeat.

”How eerie,” Calypso mused.

Aria nodded, ”They look like they were manufactured, not born from a mother’s womb...”

Nyx was in agreement. ”If a fight started here, they’d probably take out both parties before they even hit the ground.”

Calypso giggled. ”Oh, they’d be fun to provoke. Shame this isn’t the place for it.”

Kaiden shot her a look.

She winked. ”Just kidding, of course, Darling~ I’m not dumb nor suicidal...”

If the presence of the Peacekeepers wasn’t enough of a deterrent force, well, they weren’t the only eyes watching.

Hundreds of cameras lined the temporary structures, perched on poles, built into tents, attached to armor, mounted on rails. Drones swarmed overhead, recording every moment as if the entire basin were one giant gaming lobby waiting for highlights. On the cliffsides, media teams camped on higher vantage points, lenses aimed downward like a forest of mechanical stalks.

Some crews were filming news updates.

Some broadcast analysis segments.

Some caught live commentary from awakened celebrities.

Some just recorded because anything here could become a viral moment.

It was controlled chaos.

Messy, tense, and loud, but structured.

And most importantly for Kaiden, heavily watched.

Which was exactly why he relaxed a little.

This was the perfect place to walk into enemy territory... because no one here could afford to cause trouble without the entire world seeing it. Even those who wanted them dead would not dare make a move in this heavily monitored location.

Not unless they had a death wish.

Kaiden exhaled, shoulders loosening.

”This is the safest unsafe place I’ve ever seen.”

The girls glanced at him, then all smirked or giggled. Seeing that their man wasn’t worried much helped them relax as well.

Kaiden looked up at the cliffs, at the carved guild-fortresses gleaming under the sun.

Then, at the basin full of guilds, rivals, allies, opportunists, and predators.

This wasn’t just a dungeon hub.

It was a political arena.

And walking into it openly was a statement, a declaration that they weren’t hiding, that they weren’t scared, that they were stepping onto the stage willingly.

”It’s time,” Kaiden said quietly, ”to introduce ourselves.”

The girls shared a look.

A single nod moved down the line.

They were all in.

Kaiden continued, ”We’re meeting everyone finally. Big names, enemies, people who’ve badmouthed us, people who want a collab, people who want a rivalry. It’s time to build bridges... or burn them.”

Aria bounced excitedly.

Nyx smiled thinly.

Luna cracked her knuckles.

Bastet tilted her chin, regal and composed.

Calypso let out a pleased purr.

This was an important step.

Not necessarily for their channel, but for their evolution as awakened combatants stepping into the real world of power.

Kaiden took the first step toward the central plaza.

”Let’s go meet the people who’ve been screaming our names,” he said.

”Whether they love us... or want us dead.”

”It’s time to meet them.”

Soon enough, their march was noticed.

A ripple passed through the crowd, subtle at first, just a few heads turning, a few murmurs breaking the background noise.

Then it spread.

Voices dipped.

Footsteps slowed.

A few hushed gasps punched through the air like tiny sparks catching dry brush.

”Is that-?”

”No way, the Sinners actually came?”

”Holy shit, that is them! Look at the pink-haired one, wow!!”

”Get the cameras, get the cameras!”

The shift was instant.

Camera crews who had been lazily scanning the crowd suddenly jerked to life like starving predators catching the scent of prey. Lenses whirred toward Kaiden and his girls. Operators moved closer. Drones swiveled mid-air, several breaking formation to hover just above the group.

Clicks filled the air.

Lights flashed.

Microphones extended.

Boom arms swung.

All aimed directly at Kaiden and the Sinners.

And up above, in the shadow of the cliff-fortresses, more eyes began turning their way.

Some curious.

Some calculating.

Some hostile.

Kaiden let out a slow breath and kept walking.
