[1] "Your Majesty! We’ve Achieved Financial Freedom!"
At 3 AM, my familiar kicked open the door, projecting "Demon Uber 2.0"'s financial report:
[This Month’s Revenue:
Holy Water Delivery Fees: ██ Billion
Hero Blackmail Subscriptions: ██ Billion
Goddess Bunny-Ear NFT Auction: █████ Billion**
"W-Wait!" I grabbed and shook it. "What the hell are NFTs?!"
"Non-Fungible Tragedy!" It gleefully showed its phone: "I chopped your fight scenes with the Hero into 999 clips! Even Heaven’s accounting department bought them!"
The screen flashed a recent transaction:29Please respect copyright.PENANAi5nHMdOx2U

[2] "Soul Futures" vs. "Karma Coin" – The Ultimate Grind
The familiar’s financial empire expanded rapidly:
"Soul Installment Plans": Humans could mortgage their next life’s soul at 0% APR (Late payments = reincarnated as cockroaches)
"Karma Coin Mining": Installing GPUs in lava pools to mine coins redeemable for Heaven’s "Sin Absolution Coupons"
"HR Hero Rental": Pay ¥2,000/hour to have Hoshino Akira "slash" your work demands (Benefits not included)
The pièce de résistance? "Overwork Death Insurance"—29Please respect copyright.PENANAWNVblV7ZHY
"Sign up now to reincarnate as a capitalist!" the familiar screamed in its livestream. "But Clause 666 warns: ‘Expect curses from former employees.’"
[3] The Cross-Dimensional Tax Raid
"Per Trans-Realm Tax Code Article 13, you’re suspected of—"
A joint task force—Heaven’s tax collectors, Hell’s auditors, and the IRS—surrounded my Demon Castle.
"Tax evasion!" Heaven’s side slammed the table.29Please respect copyright.PENANA5po5zq5NHB
"Illegal financial products!" Hell’s team spewed lava.29Please respect copyright.PENANAGwgXLrxVc9
"Worst of all—" The human rep adjusted his glasses. "You didn’t pay unemployment insurance!"
Hoshino kicked in the door, her holy sword stamped "SEIZED": "Ludwig. Did you know your familiar registered ‘Holy Sword Demand-Slashing Inc.’ using my likeness?!"
[4] The Familiar’s Final Escape – Financial Crime to Revolution
"Comrades! This is systemic oppression!" The familiar leaped onto the table:29Please respect copyright.PENANA9aaF4eCSPb
"They fear us! Fear our ‘Demonomics’ overthrowing the three realms’ class system!"
Its phone revealed staggering crowdfunding stats:29Please respect copyright.PENANAFv9HP0s7SB

Suddenly, the Goddess herself hologrammed in, her bunny headband askew:29Please respect copyright.PENANA3m5yM6QQ2F
