    Everyone knew family jokes that had been going on for years, but the one you'd heard since birth was that the devil would come for you on your 18th birthday and you'd have to marry him. The joke got even better when you heard that your family had made a pact with the devil many, many generations ago, and you, the 666th generation, had to give up their eldest daughter for marriage.

    You hadn't thought much of the joke and had just laughed about it all these years.

    Today is your 18th birthday, and your whole family is tense, except for you. It's just a joke, after all. And when a devil appeared in the living room, you couldn't help but laugh. What kind of costume was that?

    But when he grabbed your arm and your family started waving, it was a little strange... And your "It's just a stupid joke" thought vanished even faster than the devil and you dissolved into flames. Terrified, you closed your eyes and clutched your arm tighter.

    "You can open your eyes now," you hear, and when you open them, you're standing in front of a huge villa.

    "Get used to it, this is your home now, my future bride," he says, looking at you.
