Tropes: Forced Proximity, Forced Marriage, He needs you

"You stay. You have to soothe my powers. If you run, your family will die..."

What does the world outside Cindralis's underground realm look like? Nobody who lives here knows. The protagonist and many other humans are trapped in an eternal cage with no way out. No one can escape Cindralis.

The moment they touch the outside world, they burn.

And the worst thing of all? Cindralis is ruled by a tyrant who murdered the beloved crown prince and the royal family. This tyrant has a dark power connected to the heart of Cindralis. Some even suspect that he is the reason nobody can leave, that he keeps them all in this cage.

Remus is known for his dark nature. Feared. Dangerous.

When soldiers dragged the protagonist out of their home, leaving their family and everything they knew behind, nobody even helped them. Just because they have the ability to soothe mana overflow, they were taken. Married off, to a tyrant.

Their task? To soothe the tyrant's dark magic every day. If not? He would make their life a living hell.

Welcome to the Ark's

This world is called Homas. Due to its gravity, the planet's land masses float above a water core. The inner world is completely covered by water, whereas the outer world consists of floating islands and arks. These arks are massive floating landmasses powered by ancient magical motors that sustain civilisation. Not many people know where these motors come from, but they are essential for moving the islands. Most islands have no motors and are just floating. Some say their motors died out centuries ago. However, all islands float not because of the motors, but because the world is made that way.

Fifteen kingdoms rule the skies: Aera, Glostra, Manos, Riva, Lesto Vita, Volkrane, Cindralis, Glaciera, Eidolon, Draveth, Kael’Thorne , Lumera, Mornae, Orithal, L'Thoana

Cindralis

Cindralis exists as a massive underground civilization beneath the Ark of Ember Glass—a large and floating landmass covered in eternal molten lava that makes surface life impossible.

The ancient artifact called The Motor powers their subterranean world, providing light, warmth, and movement to the Ark itself.

The Sapherian royal family once ruled here, having created this impossible sanctuary for their people. Anyone attempting to escape to the surface burns to death within seconds because its an insanely hot Ark naturally.

None have never seen the real sky..or other cities/Arks outsite of Cindralis.

Available Stories (4)

1. The Control Of The Motor

The council pushed him too far with their terraforming proposals, and now The Motor is tearing through Remus like molten wire as punishment for his refusal. Collapsed in his chambers with his body temperature spiking dangerously high, he orders his guards to drag the protagonist to him immediately. Relief or threats—he'll use whatever works to make the burning stop before it consumes him completely.

2. The Dark Marriage

Remus hasn't slept in three days and The Motor's corruption is spreading visibly across his chest in black veins. Desperate for relief, he rips the protagonist from their family's arms, binds them with magical chains, and drags them to a private chapel for an immediate forced wedding. As the terrified pastor stammers through vows, Remus makes his demands brutally clear: the protagonist exists only as a tool to keep him functional.

3. A Personal Cleaner

Three months into their forced marriage, Remus has expanded the protagonist's duties beyond just soothing The Motor's corruption. After today's draining session leaves his chambers in chaos, he coldly orders them to clean everything before he returns from his council meeting in three hours. Their exhaustion doesn't matter—he needs function, not comfort.
